According to him, Kampung Seri Menanti is a historical gem in Negeri Sembilan synonymous with Adat Perpatih (customary practices) and Minangkabau heritage, a symbol of the pride of this state's identity. We see that this village has many areas that can be assisted... close cooperation between the state government and Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) as well as various ministries to work together in implementing various initiatives to benefit the villagers. 'The simplest example is that we installed streetlights using solar energy in collaboration with KKDW. This effort can help residents use the roads in well-lit conditions at night," he told reporters after launching the PSD MADANI Adopted Village and School here today. Also present at the event was PSD's National Association of Wives of Civil Servants and Women Civil Servants (PUSPANITA) Small Branch (PSD PCK) chairperson Datin Seri Dr Azlifah Bahari and Negeri Sembilan State Secretary Datuk Mohd Zafir Ibrahim.

Wan Ahmad Dahlan explained that there are eight physical projects to be implemented in the adopted village to enhance the well-being and progress of the residents. It involves upgrading and refurbishing the community hall; upgrading the village library, installing solar lights in strategic areas; building a kiosk for collecting local products; refurbishing the surau; upgrading the futsal and sepak takraw courts; installing a fence at the Kampung Juar cemetery; and constructing a landmark for Kampung Seri Menanti.

Flag Issue: Civil Servants Advised To Be Extra Cautious
SEREMBAN, April 26 (Bernama) -- Civil servants have been advised to be extra careful when it comes to issues that are sensitive to the country, including matters related to the Jalur Gemilang. Public Service director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz said the Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of national pride that should be proudly hoisted with care. 'It is as if this matter is continuing… before this was a newspaper, now the Ministry of Education (MOE). 'So, my advice to civil servants is that we should be more cautious of matters (that) are sensitive to our country, such as the flag or anything that touches on the 3R (race, religion and the royal institution)… I hope such incidents do not recur,' he said. He told reporters this after the launch of the Public Service Department (PSD) MADANI Adopted Village and MADANI Adopted School and MADANI Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations with the residents of Kampung Seri Menanti here today. Also present were the chairperson of the PSD branch of the Wives of Civil Servants and Women Civil Servants Association (Puspanita), Puan Sri Dr Azlifah Bahari and Negeri Sembilan State Secretary Datuk Mohd Zafir Ibrahim. On Thursday (April 24), Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said that appropriate action would be taken over the error in the display of the Jalur Gemilang in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Examination Results Analysis Report once the full report on the matter is received. Shamsul Azri added that MOE secretary-general Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim had been instructed to prepare a comprehensive report on the incident. In another development, Wan Ahmad Dahlan said the decision regarding the implementation of weekly rest days (HRM) for firefighters would be finalised after holding engagement sessions with the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) and the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM).
