U Myo Min Tun (aka) Percy Pyi Hein, Chairman of the Party for People, presented the policy, stance and work procedures of his party through radio and television on the evening of 17 November.
The full text of the presentation is as follows: –
I am U Myo Min Tun (aka) Percy Pyi Hein. I am Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Party for People. I am a candidate to compete in the election in the Mingaladon Township constituency of Yangon Region for the Pyithu Hluttaw election. In the election to be held in December 2025, the Party for People will compete in the constituencies for the Pyithu Hluttaw in Mingaladon Township, Shwepyitha Township and Kyimyindine Township.
Esteemed people,
As the Party for People, we want the opportunity to address the issues we have presented to the people. Within the nation, we aim to ensure:
* Restoring durable peace, the rule of law, and the prevalence of law and order
* Food security
* Healthcare
* Education
* Agriculture, livestock, and business activities. We seek the chance to implement these areas in the best possible way.
The world has moved beyond the computer and Internet eras and has now entered the age of AI. Daily life shows robots, driverless cars, electric vehicles replacing the use of diesel and petrol, space travel businesses, expansion into new space sectors, powerful military weapons, and the creation of advanced arms and technology. Looking at the progress of powerful nations and the neighbouring countries, these achievements are the result of overcoming internal conflicts among citizens and controlling the misuse of weapons.
The time has come for our country to be peaceful and prosperous. If the long-standing mistrust and conflicts among ethnic groups, which have lasted over 70 years, continue, neither the nation nor the lives of its people will ever progress. It is time to unclench the fists that have held onto hostility among ethnic brethren. To do this, hearts must be open and willing to reconcile. Without peace, the nation cannot be built. Because of conflicts between ethnic communities, the country has suffered, and the people have endured hardships. The only path to peace is through the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). By following the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement framework, we hope to allow the fruits of peace to flourish.
Esteemed people,
Regarding the education sector, nearly all citizens must become literate. Generally, children of all school-age groups should have access to schooling, and every young person must gain literacy. Only when young people are educated will they acquire knowledge and the ability to critically evaluate right and wrong. Currently, obstacles such as ongoing conflicts, unstable administration, and widespread armed insurgency prevent many young people from accessing education. Peace is therefore essential for youth to study.
As a second important measure, equally important is ensuring that young people have easy access to learning opportunities. Every family should be able to manage its finances and prioritize the education of their children. On the other hand, the high costs of private schools should be reduced, and government schools must provide opportunities for all youth to learn. Teacher quality and skills must be improved, and knowledgeable professionals, writers, scholars, and skilled experts from wards and villages should be allowed to provide part-time instruction in government schools. Young people are often deprived of knowledge and critical thinking due to personal cult and extreme reliance, excessive loyalty to political ideologies, armed terrorism, misguided beliefs or armed insurgency rather than acting for the purpose of defending of the country. To ensure youth acquire knowledge and the ability to distinguish right from wrong, education must begin at an early age. Schools and teachers must instil love for the nation and a sense of responsibility in students. The Party for People seeks the opportunity to carry out these responsibilities in education.
Esteemed people,
The country is rich in natural resources and has fertile land suitable for productive agriculture. The State must actively support the cultivation of crops and other agricultural products. During the transition from manual farming to mechanized agriculture, farmers face major challenges, such as high prices for equipment and fuel. The government must assist those working in agriculture. Essential machinery, fuel, and agricultural inputs for agricultural tasks should be sold at affordable prices to the farmers. Manufacturing of agricultural tools and inputs should be controlled and provided by the government rather than left to private businesses. Currently, farmers are facing hardships and challenges over use of farming equipment, fuel, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, and other support materials as unscrupulous businesspersons in the private sector monopolize the distribution and sales of these inputs and equipment as well as speculating. If farmers cannot cultivate their land, the nation’s people will face food shortages. Therefore, the government must take responsibility for properly managing and supporting agricultural enterprises.
Esteemed people,
The country’s growing population and the expansion of urban and rural areas are also causing the loss of farmlands and croplands. Greedy business operators contribute to this loss by illegally selling plots of their farmland, destroying it without permission, or using it for other purposes causing loss of farmlands and croplands without operating the agricultural tasks. Although the government has issued laws and taken action, some unscrupulous businesspeople still fail to comply with the relevant laws and directives. As such, strong and effective laws must be enacted to prevent the loss of farmland. The Party for People seeks the opportunity to take action to protect agricultural land.
Esteemed people,
It is a dangerous problem that today, some youth go abroad illegally. Hence, it is necessary to create proper employment opportunities for youth at home to live in the mother land.
As Myanmar is an agricultural and livestock-producing country, the government must provide support to make farming and breeding easy and efficient. During the time of the State Administration Council, our party is particularly pleased with one initiative: integrating industrial, agricultural and livestock schools with the basic education high schools. This is a highly commendable step. Previously, if young students failed grades 8, 9, or 10, they did not know what path to follow for their careers. By combining the basic education high schools with industrial, agricultural and livestock schools, even students who do not advance academically can still learn farming and breeding skills. This equips them to support their own livelihoods, help their families, and become productive members of society, contributing to the nation. If so, such a strata of population will come out. Young people in native areas will be able to engage in agricultural and livestock work within the country without needing to go abroad. Therefore, the government needs to establish breeding zones and agricultural zones in every township. When setting up these zones, there must also be proper regulations to prevent monopolization or control by large-scale private business operators.
Thus, The Party for People seeks the opportunity to carry out these responsibilities for the above-mentioned measures.
Esteemed people,
In conclusion, whether you like the Party for People or not, go to the polling station and cast your vote for the party or candidate of your choice. With your single vote, help build the nation. With your vote, show your love for your country. With your vote, protect the sovereignty of the Union. With your vote, help make the country prosperous. Do not let the freedom you have gained be lost because of inaction. May our great nation stand strong and enduring at the centre of the world thanks to you. Thank you all.
