Raise awareness for people to avoid the dangers of drugs

yoonpresoff

In the modern era, neocolonialists use narcotic drugs as a tool to undermine a country or its nationals. Although times have changed, the exploitation of drugs for personal gain remains the same. In addition to the social, economic, health, and moral damages suffered by those who fall victim to drug abuse, excessive use and various other factors can pose dangers that may even lead to sudden death.
Currently, young people are more willing to accept and adapt to trends and changes. Both young females and males seeking enjoyment experiment with drug use – not just alcohol and beer, but also synthetic drugs such as ecstasy, ketamine, and happy water. These drugs temporarily help an individual endure physical and mental strain beyond normal capacity, allowing them to cope with fatigue for a certain period. What often starts as casual experimentation with different types of drugs among friends can quickly escalate, with many unknowingly falling into a life dominated by drug addiction.

Synthetic drugs are illegal and clandestine substances, which means no one can know exactly what toxins or how strong the chemical compounds they contain are, making them extremely dangerous. Once a person naturally becomes physically and mentally addicted to drug use, it becomes very difficult to quit and can destroy their social and economic life. In addition, possessing or using drugs is a punishable offence under the law. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid the dangers of drugs and to ensure that neither oneself nor one’s family fall into a life of drug addiction.

Ecstasy is a psychoactive drug used in treating certain mental disorders and for psychological assessments. Taking Ecstasy in amounts greater than medically required can damage the heart, kidneys, liver, and brain, and in severe cases, may lead to death. Ketamine is used in some medical treatments as a sedative and also in veterinary medicine. However, when misused as a recreational drug, it becomes hazardous. Happy Water is a mixture of drugs, including Ecstasy, Ketamine, methamphetamine, tramadol, diazepam, and caffeine. Its heavy use can lead to hallucinations, insomnia, numbness to pain, and memory loss of one’s actions.
The new and increasingly varied forms of drugs are reaching not only young people and some adults but also the immediate circles of school-aged children. As trends change, individuals need to exercise self-awareness and self-discipline when seeking enjoyment, so that the pursuit of pleasure does not lead to destruction, harm, or loss.

Uplift honour and reputation for all
Uplift honour and reputation for all
As a community is constituted with diverse societies and individuals who hold different attitudes and concepts, relevant authorities of the community need to underline administration, management and reconciliation among different groups, not to cause disintegration based on unintentional disparities, discrimination and dissatisfaction.Practically, it is easy to disintegrate any societies or communities for unexpected reasons. But it is very difficult to constitute a society or community among the different groups and individuals. Rather than the efforts to reunify society or community, which have been cracked down on once, is the most difficult.Everyone inevitably makes mistakes in the course of their lives. Mistakes made without intent can be forgiven, and even mistakes made deliberately should be forgiven as much as possible, while guiding the wrongdoer back onto the right path. This act serves to prevent their life from being ruined. In human society, if there is no social protection, even those who have not committed any mistakes may suffer harm to their community’s image and reputation because of the wrongdoings of others, and the lives of the innocent can also be disrupted. Therefore, protecting another person’s social life is equivalent to cultivating and safeguarding one’s own future.Hence, it is important for members within the society to address and resolve some disorders of process or problems that need attention or correction promptly before they escalate. Resolving problems and difficulties in time can crush the uneven thoughts and irregular occurrences, leading to the disintegration of unity among participants of societies and communities. Such an act can maintain the honour and reputation of those who intend to disintegrate the societies.As prestige and integrity are the most essential for individuals, ‌a person who has been protected from having their honour or reputation damaged due to a mistake will always feel gratitude. They will never forget the kindness of the responsible members of society who rescued them. Because of this, they will refrain from repeating the same wrong action and will even help prevent others from going astray. Such unassuming acts of social protection continuously contribute to the well-being of the wider community.Everyone inevitably makes mistakes in the course of their lives.

When one person helps another overcome difficulties and protects the dignity of others, the honour and future of the entire community are preserved – not only for the individual but also for the benefit of all who are involved.gnlm

Create safe and healthy workplaces for employees
Create safe and healthy workplaces for employees
At present, as industrial and manufacturing sectors continue to develop worldwide, ensuring occupational safety in workplaces that employ large numbers of workers has become an important process. In Myanmar, some factories and workplaces that rely on large labour forces remain significantly below international standards, as evidenced by workplace safety reports and information concerning occupational accidents.Workplace hazards take various forms, including unexpected injuries during operational procedures; outbreaks of diseases and other health problems caused by machinery operation; and the side effects of exposure to materials and chemicals, including toxic, explosive, and hazardous substances and equipment. Additional risks include extreme heat from machinery, poor ventilation, infectious diseases and pandemics, unsanitary working conditions, threats from wild animals, natural disasters, and man-made incidents such as riots and armed conflicts.Although workplace accidents can result from various factors, both employers and employees generally show weaknesses in adhering to worksite safety rules and regulations. Moreover, some officials fail to provide adequate supervision for worksite safety. In addition, employees often ignore relevant worksite disciplines and restrictions. Consequently, the failure of some employees to follow safety protocols can compromise the health and safety of other workers.Injuries and illnesses in the workplace can cause losses not only to employees and their families but also to the affected organizations. Various types of workplace hazards, including machinery operation, chemical use, electronic equipment, exposure to intense light, noise and vibrations, fires, chemical explosions, and gas leaks, can result in significant financial losses and endanger the lives of workers. The International Labour Organization reports that approximately 2.9 million employees, both female and male, lose their lives each year worldwide, while around 395 million workers suffer injuries from workplace incidents annually.Although workplace accidents can result from various factors, both employers and employees generally show weaknesses in adhering to worksite safety rules and regulations. Moreover, some officials fail to provide adequate supervision for worksite safety. In addition, employees often ignore relevant worksite disciplines and restrictions. Consequently, the failure of some employees to follow safety protocols can compromise the health and safety of other workers.All employers are responsible for preventing deaths and injuries in the workplace. Governments must provide the necessary infrastructure, including laws and services, to ensure that workers remain employable and that enterprises thrive, thereby promoting safe workplaces. At the same time, employers must prioritize the creation of safe and healthy working environments. Employees are responsible for working safely, protecting themselves, avoiding actions that endanger others, knowing their rights, and participating in the implementation of preventive measures. As such, authorities, employers and employees have to join hands in operating safe and sound workplaces to save the lives and limbs of employees and their families. In this way, safe and healthy workplaces contribute to the socioeconomic well-being of employees.gnlmPhoto: Full Sail Leadership Academy
Prepare dialogues that reflect positive mindsets
Prepare dialogues that reflect positive mindsets
In any engagement, all participants have chances to review the occasion from their relevant perspectives. Naturally, some of the perspectives may be the same, but some can differ from each other. It is because their perspectives are based on individual perceptions, mindsets, background history, motivations and any other basic factors.As such, those who hold the same perspectives can address the problems through a similar approach without any different opinions. But they can join hands with those with different perspectives in order to resolve some problems, even though they do not have the same approaches to analyzing the problems. It is because they uphold the compromise.In addressing a problem from two sides, those on each side need to emphasize their efforts in resolving the problem. So, they need to consider: To what extent can we make concessions in resolving this issue from our side? How much tolerance and flexibility can we demonstrate, and how far can we compromise? In fact, both sides need to notice the important role of compromise in solving any problems. Moreover, they all should prioritize the sincerity in the dialogue between them.In addressing a problem from two sides, those on each side need to emphasize their efforts in resolving the problem.

In fact, both sides need to notice the important role of compromise in solving any problems. Moreover, they all should prioritize the sincerity in the dialogue between them.If both sides uphold these basic factors in the problem-solving movements, their efforts are sure to secure achievement. They have to reflect on ways and means to be able to reach an agreement of a win-win situation. Actually, in securing a win-win situation, both sides have to demonstrate their tolerance and flexibility. As such, they have to suffer losses to a greater or lesser extent in terms of their interests. On the other hand, if both sides rigidly uphold their perceptions in the problem-solving measures, they don’t have any results, and the efforts of both sides will not reach success to some extent.That is why anyone needs to choose the best ways to hold dialogues. One should think in advance and decide the level of success one aims to achieve. In order to attain the desired outcome, the other party should be engaged and persuaded through the best possible approaches. However, just as we seek to achieve our own objectives, the other side also has a desire to succeed. Therefore, in every negotiation, only by demonstrating magnanimity on our part can we gain the other side’s respect, trust, and understanding. As a result, once we have earned their respect and confidence, we are already on the path toward achieving the success we seek. If they apply sincerity in their activities, they will achieve the success they desire.gnlm
Bridge ethnic areas across the country through the Union spirit
Bridge ethnic areas across the country through the Union spirit
Myanmar is a Union country where more than 100 national ethnic groups live together. These ethnic groups, though living in different geographical regions, are members of one family who share the same land and water and have grown up together. Although they may live far apart, they are bound by close ties of blood and affection, and the State is fostering unity and connection among them so that they may live and develop together in harmony and friendship.To enable ethnic nationalities to maintain close relations and live, develop, and progress together, transportation is the most essential and fundamental factor. Only when transportation is efficient can all sectors, including education, healthcare, regional development, and the socio-economic sphere, advance in a balanced manner without leaving any area behind. Therefore, successive governments that have taken responsibility for the country have constructed roads and bridges nationwide, extending across urban and rural areas, mountainous regions and plains alike, in the form of an interconnected network.The Naga Self-Administered Zone, which includes Leshi and Lahe townships in Homalin District, Sagaing Region, is located in the far northwestern part of Myanmar and is an area with difficult transportation. Only when roads and bridges linking the region with the mainland are in good condition can ethnic areas achieve development and progress. Although it is remote and far from central areas, the region remains peaceful and stable, with local people safeguarding their own area. To support the development of the region, the State has constructed and inaugurated the Chindwin River Crossing Bridge (Htamanthi), a key infrastructure projectfor the area.On 16 February 2026, a bridge crossing the Chindwin River, namely the Chindwin Bridge (Htamanthi), was inaugurated near Htamanthi Village in Homalin Township, Sagaing Region, in the northwestern part of Myanmar. The bridge is 2,628 feet long and will greatly contribute to the improvement of socioeconomic life and development undertakings for the people in Homalin District and the Naga Self-Administered Zone. It will also facilitate the swift and easy transport of local products and significantly support progress in the education, healthcare, and economic sectors.The Naga Self-Administered Zone, which includes Leshi and Lahe townships in Homalin District, Sagaing Region, is located in the far northwestern part of Myanmar and is an area with difficult transportation.

Forge a united spirit to develop Chin State
Forge a united spirit to develop Chin State
Chin National Day is a distinguished day on which the Chin ethnic people, together with their ethnic brethren born of the Union, strove with unity and a strong Union spirit to oppose colonial rule, fight for independence, abolish the feudal system, strengthen solidarity among all hill and plain ethnic nationalities, and transform the system of rule by traditional chiefs into a democratic system of governance.Under the current circumstances, the occurrence of riots and violent acts, violations of the rule of law, and numerous destructive actions that could lead to the disintegration of the nation in various parts of the country, including some areas of Chin State, poses a grave danger to the country.Just as Chin ethnic people and various other national races live together hand in hand across the country in both hill and plain regions, so too in Chin State, Chin nationals and ethnic people from different regions are serving in their respective duties. Therefore, all ethnic people should cooperate in various sectors with a spirit of fraternity, emphasizing the development of Chin State and improving the social and economic lives of future generations. They must also be able to overcome attempts by external elements to incite division and create discord among ethnic nationalities.It is necessary to be mindful that when unity collapses, and people take up arms driven by misguided ideas and self-interest, fighting one another, the nation may fall into decline and ultimately lose its sovereignty. To prevent such a situation from arising, the one essential requirement is the strengthening of the spirit of the Union.In ethnic regions and in rural areas far from urban centres, it has been observed that due to language barriers, limited educational support, and other challenges, there are low levels of education and limited access to learning opportunities. At present, in some areas, including Chin State, armed violence, disruptions, destruction, and threats have prevented schools from reopening. As a result, many local ethnic students are suffering significant losses in their education.In reality, Chin people live dispersed across various parts of Myanmar together with other ethnic nationalities. Likewise, in Chin State, people of different ethnic backgrounds—including government staff and religious personnel—are residing and dutifully serving while working together with goodwill for the development of Chin State. Since the development of Chin State cannot be achieved by the Chin ethnic people alone, the national brethren are collectively contributing their efforts in unity. They are also sharing knowledge and skills to support the State’s progress.Just as Chin ethnic people and various other national races live together hand in hand across the country in both hill and plain regions, so too in Chin State, Chin nationals and ethnic people from different regions are serving in their respective duties. Therefore, all ethnic people should cooperate in various sectors with a spirit of fraternity, emphasizing the development of Chin State and improving the social and economic lives of future generations. They must also be able to overcome attempts by external elements to incite division and create discord among ethnic nationalities.gnlm
