Moreover, it is necessary to oppose the fake news, false news, hate speech and rumours which bring incitement to cause instability of the State and riots.

And, the MRTV needs to present true information to the people. The MRTV, the State-owned media need to abide by the ethics for serving the interests of the State and the people in applying the media ways.

At present, the diamond jubilee museum showcases scale models, TV broadcasting vehicles, machinery and equipment, gramophone records and tapes, and musical instruments in respective sectors. In couple with the opening of the MRTV Diamond Jubilee Museum, the MRTV DTH system will be launched to regularly operate broadcasting of the MRTV News Channel. The newly launched MRTV News Channel will rapidly broadcast true news for the people to rebut fake news, false news, rumours and incitements which may bring danger to the country by some media breaking ethics.

MRTV is the main pillar to the media sector of Myanmar for ensuring peace and stability of the State and socio-economic development of the people. Moreover, it is a media playing a crucial role to nurture the new generation youth to have correct knowledge and thoughts in order to ensure peace, tranquillity and development of the future nation.

In addition, efforts must be made for ensuring a strong bridge among the government, the Tatmadaw and the people as much as possible. Today is time to restore the perpetual peace across the nation to build the Union based on democracy and federalism the entire people aspire.
