KAPIT (June 6): Minister for Works and Kapit MP Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi on Thursday afternoon presented Letters of Appointment to 46 community leaders (KMKK) in the Song District during a ceremony held at the Song District Office meeting room.
Among the recipients were 34 Tuai Rumah and Ketua Kampung, along with one Penghulu and one Pemanca, who received renewal letters for continued service.
Ten newly appointed Tuai Rumah also received their appointment letters.
In appreciation of their service, eight outgoing community leaders who had reached the mandatory retirement age of 76 were presented with certificates of appreciation.
Nanta congratulated both the reappointed and newly appointed leaders, urging them to serve with integrity and dedication.
'For the newly appointed community leaders, you were chosen by the people because they believe you are capable of leading. I urge all of you to work closely with government agencies, the District Officer, and elected representatives such as Katibas assemblyman Lidam Assan and myself, to drive development in your respective villages,' he said.
During the same event, Nanta and Lidam each contributed RM30,000 to the Song District Community Leaders' Association to support its ongoing activities.
They also conducted a symbolic handover of a longboat equipped with a 30HP engine to the Song Fire and Rescue Team, enhancing its ability to respond to emergencies in the interior regions along the Rejang, Song, and Katibas Rivers.
Also present at the event were Song District Officer Harry Bruce Edwin, Watson Awan Jalai (Political Secretary to the Premier of Sarawak), and Ambrose Abong Bugek (Political Secretary to the Minister for Works). alexander nanta linggi community leaders letters of appointment Lidam Assan
