MIRI (April 26): The Bakti Madani (PBM) programme themed 'SCORE Towards People's Empowerment' is set to run this May 9-11 at the Miri City Stadium here, along with this May 10 in Sepupok, Niah.
Initially slated for February, this event was postponed following the flood disaster that hit several areas in Sarawak, particularly in Miri, out of concern for the affected communities.
The programme is jointly organised by the Regional Corridor Development Authority (Recoda) and Performance Improvement Coordination Unit (Pacu), under the Prime Minister's Office.
It aims to bridge the gap between the government and people through direct service delivery, strengthen comprehensive economic opportunities, and showcase Sarawak's achievements through the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Recoda chief executive officer and the event's organising chairman Datuk Haji Ismawi bin Haji Ismuni said the programme reflects Recoda and Pacu's commitment in ensuring that it has a significant and comprehensive impact on the people.
He added that Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is expected to officiate the opening ceremony, scheduled for May 10 starting from 10.30 am.
'The programme will feature exhibitions by the federal and state government agencies, government-linked companies (GLCs), financial institutions, and the private sector, along with a Career Fair that will connect youths and job seekers with employers for job opportunities.
'Additionally, Pocket Talk sessions will feature discussions on various important topics including health, education, cybersecurity, and current issues closely related to public interest.
'At the pavilion, there will be booths by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU), Recoda, and other agencies, which will provide information on the Sarawak and Madani government's numerous programmes and initiatives that have been carried out for the benefit of the people,' he said.
Moreover, there will be a Rahmah Sale by two major supermarkets in Miri offering daily necessities at affordable prices to the local community, as well as a Recoda Entrepreneur Carnival where entrepreneurs can market their businesses and products, he added.
Other activities lined-up are the People's Concert to be held on May 10 outside the Miri Indoor Stadium, featuring performances from artistes like Baby Shima, Ricky Andrewson, and Alleycats; 'Battle of the Bands'; zumba sessions; children's colouring competition; and various family-friendly attractions.
'Visitors could also stand a chance to win attractive lucky draw prizes, including the grand prize of a Proton Saga 1.3 Premium, three SM Sport 110E (N2) motorcycles, and electronic goods such as iPads and Smart TVs.
'Meanwhile, the Satellite Programme will be held on May 10 at the Sepupok Open Stadium, Niah featuring a 'gotong-royong' (work party) and free health screening,' said Ismawi.
He added that these initiatives demonstrate the government's continued commitment to realising the Madani Economic Agenda and supporting Sarawak's aspirations to become a developed and high-income state through PCDS 2030.
'We are delighted to finally welcome the public in Miri and surrounding areas to this long-awaited programme, and we look forward to encouraging participation from the local community.'
Also present at the press conference were Recoda director Dr Hadysyam Junaidi, Highland Development Agency director Juan Ubit, and TV Sarawak (TVS) acting chief executive officer Sardon Zainal. Bakti Madani miri Pacu Recoda
