NEWLY-SWORN
Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang yesterday
pledged to deliver excellent municipal services, in line with the
1Malaysia concept of "People First, Performance Now".
The 50-year-old consultant engineer took his oath of office before Sarawak Assistant Minister of Environment Datuk Peter Nansian, who represented Environment and Public Health Minister Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh at the ceremony.
Also present were Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department Tan Joo Phoi, other MPP councillors and local community leaders.
"Having served as a councillor of MPP for a number of years, I am well aware of the difficulties that one could encounter in leading and managing a vast area," said Lo, after the swearing-in ceremony at Banguan MPP in Kota Padawan near here.
The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Sentosa branch secretary said, it would be a challenge to meet the ratepayers' expectation of a higher standard of service at the 1,431.8 sq km municipality which boasts a 300,000-strong population comprising Bidayuh, Chinese, Malays and Ibans.
Lo, whose appointment took effect from June 21, following intense lobbying for the post over the past few months, thanked the SUPP leadership, as well as other Barisan Nasional component parties for their trust and confidence in him being appointed the new MPP chairman.
