Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail highlighted ESSCOM's commitment to peace, enabling initiatives like the MADANI Adopted Village Programme in Kampung Inderasabah.

The programme, part of a nationwide RM200 million initiative by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, aims to benefit 200 villages, with 12 to 13 under the Home Ministry.

Approved projects include a village entrance gate, pavilion upgrades, a school hall, futsal court, and mosque improvements. Solar street lights, footbridge repairs, and community programmes are also planned. Collaborating with the Tawau Municipal Council and GiatMARA Tawau, ESSCOM ensures timely project completion.
