MPP has strategic plan for next five years, says Lo
KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has a strategic plan in place that will see them through the next five years.
Its chairman Lo Khere Chiang said that it will certainly improve community development and infrastructure, and benefit the community under MPP.
“We will continue to seek funding to repair and improve the drainage system in MPP area,” he said.
“We received some money, but my dream of getting the drainage done will have to remain a dream for now.”
As councillors, he said it is their duty to bring up any issues to the standing committee or full council meeting so they can be minuted and brought to the higher authority, adding in the best interest of the council they also welcome feedback and criticism.
Lo also pointed out to his department heads and both current and former councillors that the Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem recently praised MPP as a council worth emulating.
“We have all done well and should be proud,” he said.
Lo was speaking at a farewell dinner for outgoing councillors, which also doubled as a media appreciation night.
“All the ex-councillors contributed to the betterment and development of MPP,” he said, adding that while they all had argued or debated their points, it was all for the best interest of the council. The collective decision of the councillors is of paramount importance. One person can make a mistake. When 32 councillors make a decision, it has to be the correct one.”
MPP bid a formal farewell to eight councillors, six of whom were present at the dinner. They are Chen Chieng Ning, Joseph Sibang Riyang, Ponen Sanub, Anthony Ramanair, Olivia Chan and Liu Thian Leong.
Two others who were also recognised for their contribution were Anthony Abang and the late Hashim Yap, who was represented by his son, Helmi Hahsim Yap.
