Vice-Chairman of the State Administration Council Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win addressed the meeting of the scrutinizing committee on awarding titles and medals for 2024 held at the meeting hall of the SAC Chairman yesterday.
In his address, the Vice-Senior General mentioned that the meeting was convened to confer titles and medals to individuals who demonstrated excellent performance in nation-building. They include members of the Sangha who worked tirelessly for the religion, Tatmadaw members, police force members, and public servants who sacrificed their self-interests for national peace, stability, and the rule of law.
He also acknowledged the efforts of foreign leaders and diplomats in building bridges between their countries and Myanmar, along with outstanding individuals in science and the arts. The scrutinizing body would confer these titles in line with the 2009 regulations for awarding honours, decorations, and medals.
He also stated that the scrutinizing committee would select recipients from directors-general and DG-level officials with three to five years of service following the 2014 amendments to the regulations.
Moreover, he announced that the meeting would discuss providing financial support to civil servants who lost their lives or limbs while serving duties under the guidance of the SAC Chairman and Prime Minister. Based on the meeting’s suggestions, the Union government would make the final decision, and the SAC would announce the recipients on 4 January 2024 (Independence Day).
Following the opening address, Lt-Gen Yar Pyae, Union Minister for Home Affairs and chairman of the scrutinizing committee, provided a briefing about the preliminary meetings at different levels. Members of the scrutinizing committee, Union ministers and their deputies, military officers, and responsible personnel attended the meeting. — MNA/NT
