Defense Minister U Yee Mon asks PDF members not to use social media for military purposes
U Yee Mon, Union Minister of Defense, added this in his radio speech to PDF comrades on September 14.
The Minister said, “In civilian life, you can freely do what you are, what I am. But as a soldier, obeying orders from rank to rank is vitally important. This is what we call the ‘Chain-of-Command’ structure. One’s strength, one’s weapons, one’s location, and one’s plan are confidential things in military affairs. In the age of social media, information security breaches are often seen. I want comrades to be aware that it is not appropriate to use social media freely like a civilian.”
At present, there are more than three hundred PDF battalions under the MOD, and there are 250 revolutionary forces registered by the MOD.

Tomorrow is the last day of the project, so please contribute to it as much as possible.”
Project Skywalk is a fundraising program led by Naing Kaung Ywut, Deputy Minister of Defense of the National Unity Government, and managed by the Finance Department and Public Relations Team.

Some of them have asked me if they can apply for a job in the office. Meanwhile, I am very surprised and saddened. If there is a job call, they will officially announce it and call according to the procedure. I would like to inform everyone that it is not at the moment” the Deputy Minister said.
