Introduction 1 . In this article, I would like to quote “an extract from the editorial article of the Global New Light of Myanmar dated 9 December 2022 as follows: - • “Save the global people from corruption” • International Anti-corruption Day (IACD), which falls on 9 December 2022, seeks to highlight the crucial link between anti-corruption and peace, security and development. At its core is the notion that tackling this crime is everyone’s right and responsibility and that only through cooperation and the involvement of each and every person and institution can we overcome the negative impact of this crime.

In Myanmar, the constitutional framework, specifically Sections 347, 348, and 349, stands as a bulwark safeguarding the fundamental rights of its citizens. This constitutional commitment ensures that all Myanmar citizens not only possess the right to enjoy fundamental freedoms but are also bound by the responsibility not to infringe upon the rights of others, irrespective of the circumstances.

CARBON dioxide stands as a primary culprit in triggering the greenhouse effect, ensnaring the world’s atmosphere. This entrapment leads to the suffocation of people amidst unfavourable weather conditions characterized by extreme heat and atmospheric toxicity, leaving the world vulnerable to natural disasters.

​​​​​​​WITH the arrival of the monsoon and the onset of the open season, the opportune moment has arrived to adapt crop cultivation practices to the prevailing climatic conditions. Shifting towards cold-season crops on croplands becomes imperative to yield new crops this season.

DESPITE the escalating number of vehicles in Myanmar, there has been a noteworthy decline in traffic accidents, as reported by the Road Transport Administration Department. Up until the end of October 2023, more than 6,510,000 vehicles, encompassing buses, private cars, light trucks, cargo trucks, heavy machinery, and others, were registered with the department. Remarkably, the incidence of traffic accidents has been consistently decreasing year after year.

​​​​​​​Pneumonia, an infectious disease with swift repercussions, poses a grave threat to both children and the elderly worldwide. Its impact on children surpasses the combined mortality rates of AIDS, measles, and malaria, earning it the designation of a formidable health adversary. The World Health Organization (WHO) alarmingly reported that, in 2019 alone, 2.5 million individuals globally, including 672,000 children, succumbed to pneumonia. This underscores the urgency of addressing the critical issue of lung health across all age groups.

FOSTERING the technological prowess of the youth is imperative for any nation aspiring to thrive and progress. A country’s ability to stay on par with global technological advancements is contingent on the cultivation of knowledge and skills among its youth.

IN THE pursuit of a fulfilling and satisfying life, individuals often find themselves burdened by unmet needs, both physical and mental, throughout their lifespan. The perpetual quest to fulfil these needs becomes a cycle of dissatisfaction, as the concept of ‘needs’ stands in stark contrast to the idea of contentment. The eternal struggle to meet one’s needs prevents the enjoyment of the fruits of satisfaction.

​​​​​​​HIGHER temperatures cause machines to overheat, batteries to lose power, and roads to buckle, crippling infrastructure systems. Humans weren’t the only ones who needed to stay cool during 2023’s record-breaking heat waves. Many machines, including cell phones, data centres, cars, and aeroplanes, become less efficient and degrade more quickly in extreme heat. Machines generate their own heat, too, which can make hot temperatures around them even hotter.

​​​​​​​AIR pollution, stemming from both natural processes and human activities, poses a significant threat to global well-being. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases trigger air pollution, with the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere being a key factor in such occurrences.
