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" Article & Photos: Mawgyun Myint Aung (IPRD).
