Simanggang assemblyman Datuk Francis Harden Hollis said that the main committee’s role is to manage it so that it functions well.
“I like to emphasise that every village management needs to cooperate and be transparent and responsible for planning village activities and records,” he said.
The Deputy Minister of Talent Development said this during a ceremony organised by the management committee of Kampung Duri Asal, Bangat which took place at the Datuk Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan Sports Hall.
He explained that cooperation is very important to ensure the smooth management of the village committee.
