Chairman of the State Administration Council Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has urged civil servants who are away from their duties to return to work as quickly as possible in the interests of the country and the people without focusing on their emotions.

Military Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing made the remark during his speech to the public about the situations of the country on the night of February 11, the Tatmadaw (Military) True News Information Team reported.

He said regarding the civil service personnel, the 2008 State Constitution has defined that 'The Union shall enact necessary laws for Civil Services personnel to have security and sufficiency of food, clothing and shelter, to get maternity benefits for married women in service, and to ease livelihood for the welfare of retired Service personnel'. There have been some laws for civil service personnel. There might be some weaknesses in these laws. So, necessary arrangements will be made to provide what is needed further after reviewing the laws, he added. 

“Due to unscrupulous persons' incitement, some civil service personnel have failed to perform their duties at present. The former is also making various forms of disturbances to the civil service personnel who are working for the country and people amid many difficulties. Some announcements were issued yesterday. Effective actions will be taken. Required assistance will be given to the civil service personnel who are serving the public to be able to perform their duties without any worries. I am grateful to them for their loyalty to the country and people. Those who are away from their duties are requested to return to their duties immediately for the interests of the country and people without focusing on the emotion,” Min Aung Hlaing said. 

The civil service personnel have got a direct chance to serve the country and people. They are honourable persons for their public services through their responsibility and accountability for operating the sectors of legislation, administration and judiciary. So, they need to maintain such dignity, he commented.

In this speech he also talked about arrivals of Covid-19 vaccines in the country, permission for use of Covid-19 vaccines from Russia, China and India, permission for the private sector to import vaccines and engage in vaccination and continued vaccinations in the country.
