MOFA issues Press Release on elimination of stimulant tablets
YANGON, 21 May - Following is the Press Release on efforts for elimination of stimulant tablets being under taken by the Government of the Union of Myanmar dated 22 May 2003 issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Press Release
Production and illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs bring about crimes and undesirable activities like money laundering and deterioration of the moral fibre of people. Drug issue is a major socio-economic challenge to mankind. As it is a threat to mankind the Government of the Union of Myanmar has always held antinarcotics measures as a national endeavour. In so doing, Myanmar has always contributed unstintingly to the fight against narcotic drugs and Myanmar has made great sacrifices in life and limb.
The Government of the Union of Myanmar has been making relentless efforts for eradication of poppy cultivation and production and use of drugs and the national races leaders participate in the drive. As a result, progress has been made in implementing the 15-year drug elimination plan. At the same time, the government has laid down the New Destiny Project and is implementing it to accelerate the momentum of the 15-year drug elimination plan. Meanwhile, the entire national people residing in border areas are cooperating with the government in the project.
Remarkable progress has been made in Myanmar's cooperation with neighbouring countries in the fight against drugs. Achievements have been recorded in exchange of information and seizures of drugs suspects between Myanmar and China. Similarly, progress has been made in Myanmar's cooperation with Thailand.
While the issue of the illicit production and trafficking of heroin is being tackled, a synthetic drug in the name of methamphetamine has forced its way into the regional drug scene. This drug surfaced in Myanmar just a few years ago. Anti-narcotic officials of Myanmar are cooperating with the countries of the region and organizations that have more experience and expertise for the control of this drug.
Production of stimulant tablets has nothing to do with opium cultivation. Chemical precursors needed for producing stimulant tablets used in the production of the synthetic drugs are neither produced nor imported by Myanmar. They illicitly flow into the remote areas of Myanmar from neighbouring countries.
Myanmar laid down a project against the danger of amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS) precusor drugs in February 2003. The aftermath of the project is to totally wipe out the production, trafficking, trading and using of stimulant tablets in Myanmar. There are five categories to implement it i.e. taking action against production, using and trafficking, international cooperation and to implement the 15-year drug elimination plan. The 15-year drug elimination plan has three phases. The first five year plan started from 1999-2000 to 2003-2004, second five year plan from 2004-2005 to 2008-2009 and third five year plan from 2009-2010 to 2013-2014.
Since 1999 Myanmar authorities have seized sizable quantities of chemicals, illicitly brought into the remote border areas. Over 6.5 tons of ephedrine was seized in 1999; 2.6 tons in 2000; 3.9 tons in 2001 and 1.7 tons in 2002. Over 58,000 litres of Chemical precursors were seized in 1999; 89,000 litres in 2000; 159,000 litres in 2001 and 29,000 litres in 2002. Over 28.89 million stimulant tablets were seized in 1999; 26.76 million in 2000; 32.43 million in 2001 and 9.399 million in 2002. Every year seizures increased in number but they decreased in 2002 because of tight security in the border areas.
All neighbouring countries should make efforts for the control of precursor chemicals in order to eliminate this synthetic drug menace. Myanmar hosted a meeting on control of precursors in January 2003 in cooperation with China, India and UNODC. The meeting discussed difficulties faced in Myanmar, exchange of information and technical assistance. A seminar on control of chemical precursors between law enforcement officers of Myanmar and India was held in Moreh under the sponsorship of UNODC at the end of March. Information is being exchanged between Myanmar and Thailand at basic and central level transborder meeting and cooperation is being enhanced by the opening of border liaison offices.
The suppression of the danger of stimulant tables will only succeed through cooperation with neighbouring countries. Hence, prevention of the inflow of chemical precursors required in making stimulant tablets and prevention of the smuggling the stimulant tablets out of the country will be carried out in tandem.

YANGON, 21 May - A ceremony to open Paungtok bridge, built by the Bridge Construction Project Special Group-10 of Public Works, Ministry of Construction, on Yangon-Sittway Highway in MraukU Township, Rakhine State, was held yesterday morning. Member of the State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Maung Than of Ministry of Defence attended the ceremony and made a speech.
Also present were Chairman of Rakhine State Peace and Development Council Commander of Western Command Maj-Gen Maung Oo, Minister for Construction Maj-Gen Saw Tun, Deputy Minister Brig-Gen Myint Thein, Brig-Gen Myint Aung of Kyauktaw Station, officials of the State Peace and Development Council Office, departmental heads, local authorities, members of the Union Solidarity and Development Association, War Veterans Organization, Red Cross and Auxiliary Fire Brigade, Rakhine traditional cultural troupe, band troupe, pom pom troupe, students and local people totalling over 8500.
In his address, Lt-Gen Khin Maung Than said that with the aim of promoting the momentum of development in Rakhine State, the Government is paying serious attention to building roads and bridges which are the basic requirements for development. Bridges with the length of 180 feet and above have been built in the state and the newly opened Paungtok Bridge is the 25th facility. Roads and bridges being built in both the southern and the northern part in Rakhine State are the proof of the goodwill of the State towards local people in Rakhine State.
The State Peace and Development Council, assessing the needs of the respective regions, is building infrastructures wherever necessary for equitable development of every part of the Union.
Emphasis is being laid especially on building infrastructures for development of regions which lagged behind in development in the successive eras due to various reasons.
Transportation is the most basic and important requirement for development of a region. With better transportation, trade and manufacturing industries can be boosted and economic development of a region achieved. At the same time, education, health and social conditions will improve. Together with material development, there will be increased contacts and exchange of views and knowledge among the national races. Moreover, friendship and spirit of helping one another will develop. As a result, national unity will be strengthened and Union Spirit flourish. Therefore, the Government is giving top priority to ensuring better transport in all states and divisions across the Union.
In accord with the guidance of Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council Senior General Than Shwe, the Yangon-Sittway Highway has been built. A total of K 9,500 million was spent on the construction of over 200 miles of roads in Rakhine State, 10 major bridges and over 800 small and medium bridges. Due to the united efforts of the Government, the people and the Tatmadaw, the new Yangon-Sittway Union Highway became a dream come true. The Sittway-An motor road and the Pathein-Monywa Union Highway now enable the people to travel up to Magway, Sagaing, Bago and Ayeyawady Divisions.
Head of State Senior General Than Shwe gave guidance on the speedy construction of a ring road around the state to connect the northern and the southern parts of Rakhine State with An at the centre and to connect Kyaukpyu and Yanbye to the Taungup Pass. Therefore, the Yangon-Kyaukpyu Union Highway is being implemented in earnest.
Rakhine State, being a coastal region, is teeming with many rivers, creeks and lakes. Therefore, construc-tion of roads and bridges entails difficulties and costs a lot of money.
On completion of these roads and bridges, the people in Rakhine State who had to rely on air and water transports can travel from one region to another in the state or to other states and divisions by land. As Rakhine State is rich in land and water resources, the better the transportation becomes, the more developed it will become year after year.
In conclusion, Lt-Gen Khin Maung Than urged the people of Rakhine State to contribute to development and perpetuation of the Union of Myanmar based on Union Spirit.
Then, Minister for Construction Maj-Gen Saw Tun, in his explanation on the construction of the Paungtok Bridge, said that the State Peace and Development Council is assiduous in its efforts to make the State stand proud
When it comes to building a peaceful, modern, developed nation, it is necessary to cement the national consolidation and ensure the enforcement of law and order. Only when there is an equilibrium in political and economic development undertakings, can tasks for economic growth and regional development be carried out with added momentum with the strength of national consolidation. In other words, smooth and secure transport system, the basic factor for regional development of rural and urban areas, is needed for warm relationship and friendship to be fostered among national races. Therefore, a network of roads were constructed in the country in line with the guidance of the Head of State. River-crossing bridges were also built wherever necessary. A total of 155 bridges of 180 feet and above have been completed since 1988. In Rakhine State, there are 25 bridges. No foreign assistance was sought in building these bridges. They were built on a self-reliance basis, without considering whether it is economically profitable. Bridges were constructed not only for immediate benefit but also for the welfare of generations to come.
The Paungtok Bridge was not included in the ten bridges when Yangon-Sittway Road was opened. Previously, it was of one-lane bailey type. After opening Yangon-Sittway Road, the traffic became heavy. Moreover, erosion made the bole piles of the bridge weaken. Therefore, it was upgraded into a concrete-reinforced two-lane bridge, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Commander Maj-Gen Maung Oo said that the government, without discriminating states from divisions, had been striving to develop the nation and narrow the development gap by implementing development projects in all sectors. As Rakhine State was a region situated between the Bay of Bengal and Rakhine mountain range, rivers and creeks were abundant in the region, it had been difficult of access from other states and divisions and had relied mainly on water and air ways. As there had been many difficulties in transport from the southern part of the state to the northern part, business to be carried out in the capital of the state, Sittway had been delayed and even the resident of the state themselves had become strangers as a result of less contact between them. It had been a irresolvable problem of the successive eras, he said.
Under the guidance of the Head of State Senior General Than Shwe, Yangon-Sittway Highway project to over-come the difficulties and barriers was implemented as a special project in November 1995. In his guidance concerning the highway, Senior General Than Shwe said Rakhine State was difficult of access. People of the state had to rely on waterway as the main transport. But, communi-cations were often cut off due to the bad weather and availability of small number of ships. Airway had been serviceable for the few people. It was not a means of public transport.
Although Sittway region in Rakhine State was not a border region, it had been difficult of access. Transportation routes in the region, in the successive eras, had not improved due to various reasons.
In the time of the State Peace and Development Council, efforts are being made to develop respective regions and narrow the development gap between them. Therefore, Yangon-Sittway Highway must be built for the smooth transport between the towns despite the difficulties posed by numerous mountains, rivers and creeks in the region.
It is also required to link the southern part of the state and northern part of the state via An. Only when Kyaukpyu-Yanbye and southernmost part of the state, Gwa-Ngathaingyoung road, had been linked via Taungup mountain pass, the state could be accessable from Bago Division and Ayeyawady Division. Taungup exit road and Gwa exit road would become major routes of the state.
Therefore, Yangon-Kyaukphyu Union Highway Project had been carried out. Yangon-Kyaukphyu road would link Taungup and Kyaukpyu via Ma-ei. It had 42.4 mile-long Taungup-Ma-ei road section, 40.7 mile-long Ma-ei-Sane road section and 34.3 mile-long Ma-ei-Sane-Kyaukpyu road section totalling 117.6 miles. A total of fourteen major bridges and 681 small and medium ones would be built along the road. Lamu Bridge, Kaishe Bridge, Tanlwe Bridge, Ma-ei Bridge and Kyaukkyipauk Bridge had been opened and the rest are under construction.
Irrigation facilities were being constructed to make significant contribution towards the agricultural sector, he said. The Hinywet Dam was opened in An Township in the previous year. Then, the Pyaing Creek Dam is was under construc-tion to irrigate over 5,000 acres of farmland and to generate 250 kilowatts of electricity. Plans are under way to imple-ment dam
Afterwards, on behalf of the local people, Rakhine State USDA Secretary U U Kyaw Yin spoke words of thanks.
Then, Lt-Gen Khin Maung Than, Commander Maj-Gen Maung Oo and Minister Maj-Gen Saw Tun formally opened the Paungtok Bridge.
Then, Lt-Gen Khin Maung Than unveiled the stone inscription of the bridge.
The 240-foot-long and 30-foot-wide Paungtoke Bridge is constructed across the Paungtok Creek in MraukU Township, Rakhine State, on Yangon-Sittway Highway linking Paungtok Village and Laungkyet Village. It has 24-foot-wide motorway and 3-foot-wide pedestrian lanes on either side of the motor way.
It is a reinforced con-crete one with clearance of 48 feet wide and 10 feet high and can withstand 60-ton of loads.
