Gilbert presents a token of appreciation to Yii (second right) during the prize-giving ceremony, while Chin (right) and others look on. MIRI (July 26): Children are the hope of our future, and quality early education is where that hope begins, said Miri Mayor Adam Yii. The Pujut assemblyman shared this during his opening remarks at Tadika Krokop's annual colouring competition prize-giving ceremony this morning, commending the kindergarten for nurturing creativity at an early age. 'Through activities like this, children build essential foundations for learning. 'Their focus, coordination and ability to express themselves all start here,' he said, noting Miri City Council's commitment to supporting early childhood education. Meanwhile, Tadika Krokop director Chin Paw Fah, in her speech, shared that the competition is held each year to encourage the holistic development of children while nurturing their appreciation for colour and creativity. 'For such young children, colours are not just a visual delight but a vital way of understanding the world around them and expressing their emotions,' she said. She also noted that the act of colouring helps children develop focus, patience, and hand-eye coordination, while also giving them a safe outlet for self-expression. 'Each finished piece reflects a child's hard work and imagination which are things worth celebrating with enthusiasm and pride,' she added. Board chairman Gilbert Chin also applauded the children's creativity and said their colourful drawings offered a glimpse into their unique ways of seeing the world. 'Each picture tells a story,' he said, adding that the event helped foster important skills such as persistence, fine motor control, and artistic confidence. He also took the opportunity to thank the school's teachers for their patience and guidance, and parents for being strong pillars of support in their children's journey. Gilbert extended his gratitude to Yii for assisting with recent improvement works at the kindergarten, particularly the replacement of old wooden floorboards with new tiles. Yii also took time to view the upgraded classrooms during his walkabout at the school. Afam Yii early education Tadika Krokop

MCC launches eco-initiatives at Bario's Pesta Nukenen 2025
Yii (second right) takes part in the opening gimmick of Pesta Nukenen 2025. MIRI (July 26): Miri City Council (MCC) has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development in the Kelabit Highlands, unveiling a range of initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, waste management and eco-tourism across the region. Speaking at the opening ceremony of Pesta Nukenen 2025 in Bario, Miri mayor Adam Yii highlighted the council's commitment to development that harmonizes with cultural values and environmental preservation. 'These principles are deeply woven into your way of life, and they fit perfectly with MCC's vision of building sustainable villages and resilient communities,' Yii said. A major project introduced was the Plasma Pyrolysis system, also known as the Asher machine, which uses solar energy to convert waste into ash, providing an eco-friendly solution to waste disposal. Yii, who is also the Pujut assemblyman, emphasised the project's alignment with Sarawak's Post Covid-19 Development Strategy, particularly in promoting renewable energy and responsible rural development. In addition to embracing green technology, MCC is collaborating with the Bario community on beautification and tourism-related efforts. Projects include the development of Bario Community Park and Memorial Park to enhance the area's appeal for locals and visitors alike. Another initiative, Ngeribed Bawang, aims to cultivate native flowers, trees and traditional plants across villages, supported by MCC's plan to establish a dedicated nursery to conserve rare and endangered species. 'We see Bario as a potential model village for eco-tourism, supported by public cleanliness, maintenance and expanded infrastructure,' Yii stressed. In preparation for Pesta Nukenen, MCC allocated RM80,000 for local enhancement works, including grass-cutting, road and drain maintenance, and repainting shop lots. Beyond Bario, infrastructure upgrades continue across the highlands under the Inisiatif Kemudahan Rakyat (IKR) through 2025. 'These projects are essential to improving rural connectivity, strengthening local infrastructure and supporting long-term community needs,' Yii said. He added that six acres of land have been allocated for the development of new shop lots, creating opportunities for local entrepreneurship and economic growth. To ensure that local voices guide development efforts, a Bario Sub-District Task Force has also been established. Yii credited the community leaders, volunteers and residents for their continued efforts in preserving Bario's unique traditions. 'I am confident Bario will continue to flourish, remaining a beacon of tradition, resilience, and natural beauty,' he said. Bario Miri City Council Pesta Nukenen
