MIRI (Aug 17): The Sarawak State Development Office (PPN), in collaboration with the Malaysia Nationhood Academy (AKM), recently held a community empowerment programme under the 'Sejahtera Komuniti Madani' (Sejati Madani) initiative for Miri Zone.
According to PPN's Implementation and Coordination Unit (ICU), the one-day event marked the first series of activities under the initiative.
The programme brought together 80 representatives from 40 village security and development committees (JKKKs) across Miri, Marudi, Telang Usan, Bario, Subis, Limbang, Lawas, Sebauh, and Bintulu.
PPN Sarawak director Jasni Jubli, in his officiating address, underscored the importance of empowering grassroots communities as the government's strategic partners in nation-building.
'This programme aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills and leadership capacity of JKKK members who are recipients of the Sejati Madani grant, while strengthening the direct delivery of government policies to the community,' he said.
He added that through such initiatives, the government hoped that the communities would not only benefit from the programmes, but would also serve as agents of change, contributing to the nation's wellbeing and progress.
Also present at the programme was AKM Sarawak director Mohd Faizal Lamat. community empowerment lead miri SejaTi Madani
