2. Planning and Finance Minister Emphasizes the Necessity to Dismantle Both Surface and Basic Infrastructure of Military Dictatorship to Eradicate It
On October 8, Union Minister for Planning, Finance, and Investment of the National Unity Government, U Tin Tun Naing, emphasized the importance of dismantling not only the surface infrastructure but also the basic infrastructure in the effort to eradicate the military dictatorship. In a Facebook post, he stated, “If the military dictatorship is a chronic disease afflicting this country, we must not overlook the fundamental infrastructure that is breeding military dictator elites and serves as the root cause of the disease.”
The Union Minister further pointed out that the military dictators, having figured out from their experiences in 1988 that they couldn’t fully control civilian engineers and doctors, have since established their own military institutes of technology and medicine with ambitious aims. Therefore, in the pursuit of eradicating the military dictatorship, it becomes crucial to dismantle not only their surface infrastructure but also their foundational infrastructure to prevent their resurgence.
The Union Minister disclosed that, as part of this strategic approach, the land where the junta’s Defence Services Technological Academy (DSTA) situated has been chosen as the initial phase of the Sping Pyin Oo Lwin Investment Project.
The Spring Pyi Oo Lwin Investment Project sales were initiated on October 7, and it generated $2.3 million on the first day of the project’s launch.
