RANAU: The Ranau District Council (MDR) in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and Housing (KKTP) and the Landscape and Sustainability Sector has implemented the Rakan Lestari Program in the Ranau district. This program is a green initiative which is carried out with the aim of further stimulating the community spirit in brightening up public areas. Rakan Lestari is a green community initiative in conjunction with I-Hijau 2024: The Green Initiative of the KKTP Sabah Maju Jaya Aspiration 'Towards Code Green', which was launched on 27 February 2024. The initiative, which was launched at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), was officiated by the Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Sabah KKTP, Datuk Seri Dr. Joachim Gunsalam. Among other things, the objectives of the Rakan Lestari Program are to establish close cooperation between the community and government agencies/local authorities; accelerate area monitoring with the help of the community and create a cheerful, clean and safe environment. Apart from that, it also aims to revitalize recreational areas through healthy activities, increase community harmony and unity, generate local economy and support local communities as well as beautify the landscape and upgrade the city's image. Activities in Ranau Town began with brightening up the Pentas Budaya area, which now looks fresher and more attractive after the painting process by the Rakan Lestari team. The MDR thanked all parties involved and the local residents who supported this noble effort. It said that the community's commitment has a great impact on the sustainability of the Ranau district. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
