Myanmar President U Thein Sein on April 1 called on people to assist his
government in promoting peace, stability, the rule of law and
democracy.
On his monthly regular radio speech to the nation, the leader said he firmly committed to using the power vested in him by the constitution and laws to protect the life, freedom and property of all citizens.
He criticised some citizens for resorting violence and other illegal means that involved terrorist acts, murder and arson, to solve problems, adding that such behaviours have tarnished the image of Myanmar in the eyes of international community.
According to Myanmar ’s media, the order has been restored in six towns in the country’s central Bago region following the state of emergency and curfew which were issued on March 26.
The people returned to daily routines, yet security was still tightened to ensure the riots would not reoccur.
