KOTA KINABALU: The National Audit Department is strengthening its role in community development by adopting a village and school near Tuaran this year under the MADANI Adopted Village and MADANI Adopted School programmes. The department announced that the Kampung Topokon and Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Topokon were the respective village and school involved in the programes, with allocations of RM1 million and RM100,000. Auditor-General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi chaired the coordination meeting between various federal and state government agencies at Wisma Audit Sabah here today. 'Following its successful implementation in 2024, the government has expanded the programme to 200 villages throughout the country in 2025. The effort is in line with the whole-of-government approach that stresses on cross-agency cooperation to ensure quick and efficient service delivery to the public,' the department said in a statement today, adding that the Auditor-General presented appointment letters to departments and agencies involved during the meeting. The scope of the adopted school programme would focus on upgrading the canteen to provide a safer and comfortable dining environment for pupils, while the adopted village programme would have four main areas including upgrading the multipurpose hall, the futsal and open basketball courts, school facilities and community programmes. The MADANI Adopted Village programme is an initiative announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim when he presented the Budget 2024 and is aimed at bridging the gap of basic facilities between rural and urban areas, as well as improve the socioeconomic wellbeing of rural communities.

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).
