Myawady continues demolishing online scam hubs THE government is placing special emphasis on eradicating online scams and online gambling operations, which threaten the global socioeconomic environment and national security. To this end, it is conducting intensive operations in cooperation with neighbouring and regional countries to eliminate these illicit activities. As part of these efforts, illegal buildings in the Shwe Kokko area of Myawady District, Kayin State, which had been widely used as bases for online scam and gambling operations, are being demolished permanently by joint teams comprising security forces, administrative bodies, and local authorities. In this regard, another 13-storey building was demolished yesterday through a controlled explosion using explosives. Meanwhile, two 5-storey buildings are continuing to be systematically demolished using heavy machinery. In the second phase of the Shwe Kokko area, 63 buildings remain to be demolished. These buildings, which were used for online scam and gambling operations, have been classified into different categories according to the appropriate demolition methods, such as buildings to be demolished using heavy machinery; buildings to be demolished through controlled explosions; and buildings located close to residential homes, which must be dismantled floor by floor using manual labour. The demolition work is continuing systematically according to these classifications. As of yesterday, among the buildings designated for demolition using heavy machinery, the demolition of one five-storey building has reached 90 per cent completion, while another five-storey building has been 20 per cent demolished. In addition, one 13-storey building designated for demolition by controlled explosion was successfully brought down completely using explosives. Relevant interdepartmental combined teams will continue systematically demolishing the remaining buildings used for online scam and gambling operations in the second phase of the Shwe Kokko area. The government has designated the fight against online scams and online gambling as a matter of national responsibility. It is continuing these efforts with strong emphasis and coordination with domestic forces, as well as the governments of neighbouring countries.

Traffic offenders subject to legal action THE Yangon Region Road Safety Council has announced that, starting on 12 October, action will be taken against pedestrians who fail to use designated crossing points in Yangon’s municipal areas. Pedestrians are required to cross roads using designated facilities, including pedestrian underpasses, footbridges, zebra crossings, and other officially authorized crossing points within the municipal area. Those who fail to comply with these regulations will face strict legal action under Section 96 of the 2020 Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Management Law. “We have already conducted an awareness campaign to educate pedestrians on using designated zebra crossings, footbridges, and pedestrian underpasses. Starting today, enforcement measures will be implemented. Enforcement teams will monitor footbridges and carry out inspections and penalties on a rotating basis. Crossing the road underneath a footbridge when one is available is not only a violation of traffic regulations but also poses serious dangers to both pedestrians and vehicles. Such accidents have occurred in the past. These measures are being taken to protect people’s lives. Although we cannot yet specify when the enforcement campaign will end, there are plans to increase the number of enforcement teams,” said Police Captain Moe Win of the Traffic Police Task Force in Kyauktada Township. To ensure the safety of both the public and road users, the Yangon Region Traffic Police Corps 2 and traffic police units in respective townships had previously conducted an awareness campaign, urging pedestrians to use zebra crossings and footbridges. Following this educational period, the enforcement phase officially begins on 12 October. In Yangon, pedestrian footbridges at Sule, Pansodan, Botahtaung Pagoda, Sangyoung Maha Myine, Hledan, Bogyoke Market, and Kaba Aye Pagoda are frequently used by large numbers of commuters every day. Crossing roads beneath these footbridges has often contributed to traffic congestion and accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles. To prevent such incidents, individuals who violate the designated crossing regulations will face fines imposed by a judge at the Traffic Offences Court located on Bogalezay Street in Botahtaung Township.

Discussing medical education and human resource capacity, he pointed out that skilled manpower is the engine of the national healthcare mechanism. The opening of the Faculty of Medicine at Naypyitaw State Academy in 2023 expanded the nation’s training infrastructure to six medical universities and 11 allied medical universities, totalling 17 institutions. Concurrently, medical curricula have been aligned with international standards through outcome-based, integrated learning frameworks that incorporate inter-professional education and interdisciplinary teamwork. He noted that comprehensive five-, ten-, and fifteen-year human resource development roadmaps are being executed to meet staffing needs across regional, state, district, township, and station hospitals, while the government continues to attend to accommodation, administration, welfare, and allowances for medical personnel. The direct appointment system, he noted, was arranged so that fresh medical graduates could promptly fill vacancies at public hospitals immediately following the completion of their internships. He recalled that in July 2025, a total of 1,276 doctors and 23 dental surgeons were similarly appointed and are currently discharging their duties across various regions while preparing for their postgraduate entrance examinations. Guiding the inductees on professional conduct, the President urged them to pursue both technical excellence and moral integrity. As gazetted civil servants, they will undergo subsequent administrative and leadership training at the Civil Service Academies to cultivate perseverance, endurance, resilience, tolerance, and institutional discipline. He highlighted the necessity of honesty, accountability, regulatory compliance, and public respect, reminding them that their individual actions reflect directly on the dignity of the Ministry of Health. Hospital-level orientation programmes covering civil service laws, rules, and procedures will be provided accordingly. He advised the doctors to place patients at the centre of their practice, treating them with empathy and familial goodwill as if caring for their own parents and siblings. Emphasizing that safeguarding the health of each individual citizen is tantamount to safeguarding the future of a family, he called on them to actively listen to patients, communicate diagnoses and care plans transparently with relatives, strictly preserve medical confidentiality, and respect human dignity at all times. Given the dynamic pace of modern medical science, the President underscored the lifelong necessity of continuous education, wide reading, clinical review, and research. He encouraged the physicians to pursue master’s degrees, doctorates, and specialized clinical fields to match regional standards, while urging them to explore emerging frontiers including artificial intelligence in clinical medicine, digital health platforms, and telemedicine services. Following his address, the President personally presented letters of appointment to representatives of each medical university, after which a newly appointed doctor delivered a message of gratitude on behalf of the inductees. The attendees subsequently viewed a documentary screening illustrating the Ministry of Health’s ongoing initiatives toward longevity and disease prevention. The proceedings concluded with a choral performance titled “The Land of Blood Brethren” by students of the University of Medicine 1 (Yangon), after which the President presented fruit baskets and cash awards to the performers before cordially greeting attendees.
