BINTANGOR: The Jiwa MADANI Community Programme by the Meradong District Information Office in Kampung Selemas Baru has received positive feedback.
Pemanca Yie Hie Seng, representing the Meradong assemblyman Datuk Ding Kuong Hiing, said that the local community strongly supported the initiative.
“They act as a bridge, communicating government policies to the people and relaying feedback from the grassroots level.
“Furthermore, they combat the spread of false news by disseminating accurate and official information about government initiatives,” he said in his speech yesterday.
Strong relationship between the community and the Information Department would ensure the effective dissemination of accurate information to the public.
“Without community participation due to a lack of understanding of the government’s genuine desire to develop the nation, transformation programmes cannot succeed,” he said.
The programme also featured a lecture on Dengue Fever prevention by the District Health Office.
Additionally, officers from the District Police Headquarters delivered a presentation on safety and criminal law enforcement.
The event was attended by District Information Officer Nor Hidayah Ismail, Kampung Selemas Baru village chief and MADANI Community chairman Rizal Abdullah, District Senior Environmental Health Assistant Abdullah Sulhi, and District Police Headquarters Criminal Investigation Officer Aidil Ameen Alias.
