You all have seen that all alumni efficiently carried out the duties of our country and Tatmadaw from era to era and Defence Services Academy has acquired a good reputation. You must be good officers who are reliable for the higher officials, given respect by the lower ranks, be trustworthy of the populace and cut out to be the well‐rounded and calibred officers to preserve the noble dignity of Tatmadaw, said Commander‐in‐Chief of Defence Services Senior General Maha Thray Sithu Min Aung Hlaing at the Passing‐out Parade of the 59th Intake of the Defence Services Academy at the parade ground of the DSA in PyinOoLwin this morning. Also present at the ceremony were Daw Kyu Kyu Hla, wife of the Commander‐in‐Chief of Defence Services, Union Minister for Defence Lt‐Gen Zeya Kyawhtin Sein Win, Commander‐ in‐Chief (Navy) Admiral Zeya Kyawhtin Tin Aung San and wife, Commander‐in‐Chief (Air) Genreal Zeya Kyawhtin Khin Aung Myint and wife, senior military officers of the Office of Commander‐in‐Chief (Army) and their wives, the Command Commanders, the commandant of the DSA, senior military officers from PyinOoLwin Station, military attachés of the foreign military attaché offices to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, invited guests and parents and relatives of the graduate cadets.

In his address the Senior General said that it can be seen that the motto of DSA “Honour, Valour, Wisdom” has a profound meaning and goes with the aim to fulfill the aim of Defence Page 2 of 48 Services Academy. Defence Services Academy has born you as the good leaders who are becoming the triumphant elite of the future with the capabilities of “Honour, Valour, Wisdom” to be experts in military science, arts and science which are necessary for a good military leader, to eliminate dangers of our country and Tatmadaw by courage (Thura), and to safeguard any threat of our country, Tatmadaw and the people with heart and soul. During a four‐year period of the course, you had been nurtured physically and mentally simultaneously in accord with the Tatmadaw training policy which is to be “strong, skillful and courageous.” Touching on the ways of thinking and decision making, you had received the training how to make decisions without fault. So you are going to be the warriors who are able to achieve the victories in the battles. Since you have been trained even to sacrifice your life if necessary in the battlefield, you ought to be the reliable leaders to implement your duties. You who are going to serve as the junior leaders in respective corps and services soon must try your best to acquire for leadership qualities. It is essential for you to perform your duties in accordance with the sixteen leader‐ship qualities. Besides, you have to fulfill the skill not only which makes your underlings reliable on you but also the qualification to lead them. You, comrades will carry out military leadership and social leadership at the same time. With reference to the social leadership, you have to make sacrifices on your underlings like the parents as you had been trained with the Guardian system. Bearing on the military leadership, you must be decisive. You must have self‐denial and a desire to improve in your lives. You have to implement your duties with industriousness, honesty, self‐denial, altruism and knowing the human‐ nature to succeed in your lives. As for the promotion, all of you will be granted the same rank at the same time. But industriousness, loyalty, dutifulness, healthiness, fate, wisdom, diligence and being well‐ disciplined, will be the outcomes for your future promotions during your service. Equal chances are given to you although all of you cannot be the top‐one. You all come to know that there are different grades according to your efforts although all of you had received the same training during four years at Defence Services Academy. Therefore, you have to keep trying for the best with self‐control because all of you are given the same opportunities. You must be endowed with three abilities to carry out Our Three Main National Causes. You must practice and study the needs to be skillful in Military abilities, Organizational abilities and Administrative abilities. You must practice and study the Military Science for the effectiveness of the Military ability and implement the effective managements and chains of control to carry out the issued orders, directives, rules and laws. With reference to the administration, everyone has to perform his own duty and need to be manageable for others. You must be a good leader who is able to carry out both tasks. Furthermore, you must be good followers. You have been trained to create maturity, as the strong spirit can get over the difficulties. You all have the strong‐spirit and maturity will get victories over adversities as you have already practised the basic needs which are the leadership, comrade spirit, self‐respect and being disciplined well for the strong spirit. High moral is important to cultivate the good spirit. So you have been trained well by parents and teachers from childhood to adult at Page 3 of 48 Defence Services Academy, to have high moral. People who have high morals live by the discipline of the religion and society. You must not only have self‐worth but also give special consideration for others. Therefore, you need to bring yourselves up to be the excellent leaders throughout your lives. The affairs of political, economic, administrative and military are not standing alone, and they are connecting each other in the 21st Century. So, you should not only focus on the military science but also start reading to be familiar with other subjects from now on. You will be full of wisdom and knowledge like the proverb “Knowledge is Power” and you can get over the difficulties.

This September, freedom of speech and expression became more severely restricted.
