In this resepct, I will be working with the Implementation and Coordination Unit (ICU) and the Miri Office of the Department of National Unity and Integration (JPNIN), as well as the Miri Parliamentary Service Centre, to implement the maintenance works under the Miri Parliamentary People's Projek Mesra Rakyat programme.
