MPP gives assurance of working together with the community
KUCHING:
Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) assured that they will work together
with the community not only in infrastructure development but also in
social development to build better communities for everyone to live in.
Its chairman Lo Khere Chiang pointed out on Friday that the council recognised the need to actively engage the people in order to encourage community development.
“It is high time that local councils look beyond their day-to-day tasks and focus on drawing up plans to meet the needs of the future,” he said at the launching of Padawan Fair 2014 at Batu Kawah new township here.
Many programmes have been organised to promote community development such as the Padawan Fest, Lo said, which served as a bridge to get closer to the people and know them better.
He thanked the Local Government and Community Development Ministry under Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh for the RM200,000 grant this year for the purpose of community development.
“With this funding, the council will be able to organise projects that benefit the community,” he said.
Amongst some of the projects in the pipeline, Lo pointed out, were dialogue sessions, public health and cleanliness campaign, green municipality projects, waste segregation and recycling projects, and community-based ecotourism projects.
He hopes that Wong will continue to ensure that the grant for community development will be given to the council in many more years to come.
Today, with the rapid pace of development and progress, Lo said the council has to be more efficient in addressing and attending to the people’s requests and complaints on municipal services.
Admitting that there are and will be hitches or occasional breakdowns in service delivery, Lo encouraged people to send feedback and notify the councils if they encounter any problem.
“The council shall act promptly on such complaints. The feedback and assistance from the public enable the council to take action and improve on the shortfalls of the municipal services,” he said.
“Each area in Padawan is headed by a resident councillor and assisted by an area officer, to deal with all the complaints and requests from the residents,” he added.
“Together with the residents and local communities, the council shall aspire to perform better and improve our services,” he further said.
The public can always call up the council at 082-615566 or via tali khidmat at 082-555999 or via the website at www.talikhidmat.sarawak.gov.my or www.mpp.sarawak.gov.my.
