Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing delivered a speech at the passing out parade of the 66th Intake of Defence Services Academy at the DSA parade ground in PyinOoLwin yesterday morning.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General delivered a speech. He said: As discipline and a positive mindset are intrinsically linked, the cultivation of a positive mindset invariably reinforces disciplined behaviour. Discipline serves as a moral virtue and the backbone and soul of the Tatmadaw, making it vital to respect and maintain it diligently. Given the stringent disciplinary measures mandated by the Military Act, a thorough study and understanding of its provisions are imperative to ensure proactive compliance. Moreover, a profound grasp of and commitment to the ‘Rules of Engagement (RoE)’ observed worldwide are indispensable for maintaining operational integrity.
I call upon all comrades to dedicate themselves fully within their respective sectors, ensuring the meticulous organization of the election through accurate voter lists, and facilitating the seamless transition of national responsibilities to the government that emerges from the election results.
Comrades should not be deceived by such deliberate dissemination of fake news and misinformation aimed at the disintegration of Tatmadaw, and it is crucial to strengthen the cohesion of military personnel and their families within their respective units to ensure they remain steadfast in their determination and amenability, shielding them from the corrosive impact of fake news and misinformation while fostering unity within the unit.
I would like to highlight that the dutiful execution of orders and duties assigned by superiors, along with the successful implementation of four major tasks daily, while leading subordinates with much exposure, plays a crucial role in strengthening unity within the unit.
I firmly assert that comrades must rigorously uphold the established codes of conduct with a steadfast commitment to fostering external unity beyond the unit.
They are also duty-bound to render public services, including making substantial contributions to regional development projects, providing swift and decisive aid in the aftermath of natural disasters, and ensuring the comprehensive provision of education, healthcare, and social welfare.
These obligations must be fulfilled with sincerity and profound dedication, as they are integral to the Tatmadaw’s paramount responsibilities.

The Senior General presented the Best Cadet Award to Cadet Htet Arkar, Excellent Award in Training to Cadet Thiha Soe, Excellent Award in Studies (Arts) to Cadet Nay Thukha, Excellent Award in Studies (Science) to Cadet Ye Htet and Excellent Award in Studies (Computer) to Cadet Zaw Phyo Aung respectively.

After the ceremony, the Senior General met five outstanding cadets and their parents and relatives at the DSA headquarters and spoke words of honour.
He urged those outstanding cadets to take good experiences from seniors in serving the duties of the State and Tatmadaw. As Tatmadaw members are born of people, Tatmadaw is one of the parts of the State.
