ARTICLES: "Unity is strength" by Hlaing Aung: "The harmonious cooperation of the entire people
to address and surmount the situations triggered by the
storm ?Nargis” seems to support the saying that goes
?Unity is strength”. Myanmars showed such a
consolidated unity among them in times of emergency
that they won the recognition of the international
community...the cohesion of the
government, the people and the Tatmadaw. Since
the time when the storm was still raging, the Head of
State and national level dignitaries were laying down
programmes to launch rescue and resettlement tasks.
In the post-storm period, Chairman of the National
Disaster Preparedness Central Committee Prime
Minister General Thein Sein stayed in the stormravaged
areas to supervise the rescue and relief
measures. Furthermore, the Head of State and the
Deputy Head of State made inspection tours of the
storm-hit areas, fulfilled the requirements and gave
guidance. A minister has been assigned to each
storm-struck township to supervise the relief and
rehabilitation tasks...It is also required of the entire people to maintain the
already-achieved consolidated unity and participate
actively in the drive for building a new nation. That is
the national concern or the lifeblood for the nation..."....."A journey to storm-hit area
of Mawlamyinegyun"
