Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing delivered a speech, as mentioned at the meeting on peace and stability and development of Yangon Region at Konmyinttha yesterday afternoon.
In his address, the Senior General underscored that as terrorists attempt to commit terror acts, taking a chance in unguarded moments of security forces, individuals have to monitor the movements of terrorists with security awareness and knowledge to ensure peace and stability.
He instructed the military command and regional government to coordinate measures to be taken for peace, stability and development of Yangon Region.
He noted that those who lack knowledge to analyze good and bad things can commit crimes, so it is necessary to raise the understanding and critical thinking of the people through the release of true information in various ways and means.
