neighbouring nation and is testing response and
inciting Myanmar to pick up fight with motives to
expand her territory and dominate our nation, it will
amount to waking up sleeping tiger
People in Monywa support mass rallies to denounce SURA
and KNU terrorist insurgents undermining security and
peaceful condition in border areas

Yangon, 10 June - A ceremony to support the national
people's mass rallies denouncing SURA and KNU
terrorist insurgents who are violating the security
and peaceful condition of border areas and to show
respect for the sovereignty of the Union of Myanmar
was held at the People's Sports Ground in Monywa,
Monywa District, Sagaing Division, on 8 June morning.

It was attended by local people from various townships
in Monywa District, members of the Union Solidarity
and Development Association, Red Cross and Auxiliary
Fire Brigade, War Veterans Organization, the Working
Committee for Women's Affairs and Maternal and Child
Welfare Association, band troupes, the State flag
bearing troupes, teachers and students.

The six columns Anawrahta, Kyansittha, Tabinshwehti,
Bayintnaung, Alaungphaya and Hsinbyu-shin marched into
the People's Sports Ground and took their designated
places.

The people from various townships in Monywa District
hoisted State flags to demonstrate their respect for
sovereignty of the Union of Myanmar.

Executive of Sagaing Division USDA U Nay Aung acted as
master of ceremonies.

Those present saluted the State flag.

Member of Monywa Township USDA of Monywa District Ma
Khet Thanda Soe explained the purpose of the ceremony.


She said: I am a member of Monywa Township USDA of
Monywa Distt. I am going to explain the purpose of the
ceremony to support the national people's mass rallies
denouncing SURA and KNU terrorist insurgents who are
encroaching upon the security and peaceful condition
of the border areas, and to show respect for the
sovereignty of the Union of Myanmar.

First of all, I would like to elaborate on why we are
here and why State flags are hoisted all over Monywa.

Since the beginning of 2001, drug-trafficking SURA and
KNU destructive insurgents, based in Yodaya and
getting assistance from it, have been launching
attacks along the border areas.

Yodaya has helped establish the training school, the
arms workshop, the hospital and the quarters inside
its territory and provided nine pyis of rice and five
tins of canned fish per one SURA insurgent every
month. They have perpetrated destructive acts and
violated the sovereignty of the nation. Therefore, the
ceremony to denounce the destructive insurgents has to
be held.

The holding of such a kind of ceremony shows that we
and the national brethren living in the border areas
are in unity, though not in close proximity to one
another. Like them, we also denounce the
drug-trafficking insurgents. We also support the mass
rallies denouncing drug-trafficking terrorist
insurgents held in Kengtung, Taunggyi and other
places. Therefore, the townsfolk of Monywa hoist State
flags and hold a ceremony to show how much they value
and respect the sovereignty of the nation. We have to
demonstrate the spirit which never lets the
sovereignty of the nation be violated and
nationalistic spirit which will crush any form of
invasion and insults. On behalf of all the youths, I
would like to warn Yodaya that if it does not behave
as a good neighbouring nation and is testing our
response and inciting us to pick up a fight, it will
amount to waking up a sleeping tiger.

Therefore, I would like to urge all to keep alive and
dynamic the spirit of fighting against any danger and
scheme to break up our motherland and to uphold Our
Three Main National Causes non-disintegration of the
Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity and
perpetuation of sovereignty. Secretary of Ayadaw
Township USDA of Monywa District U Kyaw Myint
explained how SURA and KNU terrorist insurgents,
taking strongholds in Yodaya, are violating the
security and stability of the nation and the peaceful
condition of the border areas.

He said: we support the mass rallies denouncing the
acts of violating the sovereignty of Myanmar. State
flags are hoisted all over Monywa, and we are here to
salute the State flag. The purpose is to show the
world how much we value and are proud of the
sovereignty of the nation. In other words, it means
declaring that we are going to respond to every act of
violating the sovereignty of the nation.

I would like to give a brief account of the insulting
act of some terrorist insurgents and how Yodaya aided
and abetted them.

On 11 February 2001, opium-trafficking insurgents
launched a surprise attack on the outpost of the
Myanma Tatmadaw on "O" hill near Tachilek and the
Yodaya army provided supporting artillery fire. They
fired heavy weapons up to Tachilek.

They also attacked Lwedawkham outpost in border areas
on 21 February 2001, Pachee outpost near Ponpakyin in
Mongton Township on 21 April 2001 and Maekyoak outpost
and new Maekyoak outpost on 8 February 2002.

KNU insurgents mined Yangon-Mottama motor road between
Bilin and Thaton and Yangon-Myainggalay gas pipe near
Kazaing bridge. KNU, together with ABSDF, attacked
Minletpan Village near Myawady on 15 May 2002.

Due to terrorist acts of SURA, KNU and ABSDF, the
lives and property of the national people were lost
and even religious buildings destroyed.

The terrorist group, in cooperation with the Yodaya
army, blatantly attacked Pangmaingsun, Nyaungbingon,
Pangantgaw, Yanpaingsun outposts near Yodaya-Myanmar
border on 20 May this year. The Yodaya army provided
supporting artillery fire.

The acts of Yodaya, which harbours, arms and feeds
some national race traitors, recruits new members, and
provided supporting fire with heavy weapons, amount to
insulting our nation again and again.

In addition, Yodaya conducts maneuvers near our border
every year. This shows signs of posing threats to and
levelling insults at our nation. It has become a
danger to our nation.

Therefore, I would like to emphatically call on all
the people to get prepared to crush terrorist
insurgents and outsiders at risk to our lives to
defend the sovereignty and territory of the nation and
to keep intact the dignity of the nation built by our
forefathers.

Then, the mass rally shouted the slogans
"non-disintegration of the Union - our cause, our
cause, non-disintegration of national solidarity - our
cause, our cause, and perpetuation of sovereignty -
our cause, our cause. Afterwards, the ceremony came to
an end.

objectives of the State. It is morale and morals that
create the ups and downs of society. Myanmar nationals
have been recognized as the most honest people with
high morals in Asia since ancient times.

However, imperialism and the Second World War made
moral virtues, nationalistic spirit, culture and
character of the people weak. It is necessary to
uplift national culture and character, he said.
Therefore, the government has been making efforts to
uplift national culture and character including
nationalistic spirit, patriotic spirit and Union
spirit, he said. The Union Solidarity and Development
Association is discharging national duty by conducting
national culture and morals courses, and especially
instilling a sense of national culture in the youths
who will shoulder the duties of the future State, and
promoting their morals, he said.

He said it is necessary for children and youths to
uplift of national culture and character. This is why
the association is conducting national culture and
morals course. About 10 million USDA members attended
the course nationwide. He said Shan State (North) USDA
handed down the heritage of national culture and
morals to nearly 300 instructors and over 14,000 USDA
members.

He said Shan State (North) is a significant State
where Shan, Palaung, Kachin, Kokang and Wa nationals
reside. These national races have their own language,
literature, noble customs and gentle culture. The
courses taught the national youths with high culture
education and social guidelines. They will possess
spirit to preserve their own culture and become
valuable good sons and daughters of the State. Col Tin
Hlaing urged the trainee youths to build and safeguard
the future State with patriotism and the Union Spirit
based on national culture and morals. Commander
Brig-Gen Myint Hlaing and USDA CEC member Brig-Gen
Khin Maung presented prizes to outstanding trainees.

Millions of youths in the country realized what is
good and what is bad.
