Youths urged to join SRS to boost KRT security and foster unity
ARAU: Youths have been urged to join the Voluntary Patrol Scheme (SRS) initiative, which plays a key role in enhancing security within Neighbourhood Watch Areas (KRTs) and fostering a spirit of unity in the community from a young age. Director-general of the Department of National Unity and Integration (JPNIN), Datuk Che Roslan Che Daud, said that youths' involvement in the SRS could help develop a sense of responsibility and concern for security in their respective residential areas. 'We strongly encourage youth involvement in SRS so they not only care about the security of their residential areas but also foster a spirit of unity and volunteerism from a young age. SRS is open to individuals aged 18 and above, and the government provides annual protection contributions for members,' he said. He said this to reporters after officiating the Jom Ronda SRS Bersepadu and the state-level 1 Family 1 SRS Member 2025 campaign here last night. Che Roslan added that there are currently 5,431 SRS teams involving 8,529 KRTs with a total of 108,620 members nationwide. In Perlis alone, 142 KRTs have been established, with 97 active SRS teams recorded. 'JPNIN is also implementing 'Meremajakan SRS', a rejuvenation initiative that introduces the MySRS application to facilitate patrol reporting and security case monitoring, along with upgrading SRS team equipment such as safety jackets and tactical flashlights,' he said. Additionally, the 1 Family 1 SRS Member campaign, especially in the border of four states of Kelantan, Perlis, Kedah, and Perak, is being actively strengthened to enhance community security. He emphasised that SRS is not just an ordinary patrol but symbolises the spirit of safeguarding the area against crime and social disharmony.

Che Roslan tries his hands at beadwork embroidery, guided by one of the women artisans. KAPIT (May 6): Members of the Neighbourhood Committee (KRT) are encouraged to use social media market their products and services, especially handicrafts and agro-based products. In giving this advice, Department of National Unity and Integration (JPNIN) director-general Datuk Che Roslan Che Daud calls upon them to make full use of platforms such as Facebook and TikTok to expand their market reach. 'Instead of the conventional way of displaying products at the stall or a shop, use social media to reach out to potential customers from near and far. 'Social media can help communities to market their products more widely, without requiring high extra costs,' he said in his speech for the 'Santuni Madani' and 'Progressive RT' programme at KRT Sungai Banyau in Baleh last weekend. Earlier, Che Roslan said KRT Sungai Banyau received a grant of RM123,000 last year, and had since been actively carrying out various projects meant to benefit the community. 'Among the ongoing projects are the handicraft 'manik' (beads) works by the KRT womenfolk, and also the setting-up of a 'pondok' (patrol booth) for the Voluntary Patrol Scheme (SRS), made as the centre of operations, where the volunteers gather before conducting patrol around their neighbourhood at night. 'Any KRT interested in applying for a grant under the Progressive RT initiative, can contact the JPNIN Kapit Office on 084-798 522, or go to Che Roslan also said apart from physical assistance, JPNIN would also encourage residents to make full use of the nearby National Information Dissemination Centre (Nadi) to undergo training on digital marketing and also on social media technology. On a relevant matter, he also called upon all KRTs in the country to join in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of KRT by conducting various community programmes that could strengthen the spirit of unity and togetherness amongst the local community. Meanwhile, those interested in ordering the beadwork handicrafts can contact KRT KRT Sungai Banyau secretary Patricia Rendah on 011-2920 5436. Also present at the weekend event were JPNIN Sarawak director Dirwana Azool, JPNIN Kapit officer Lau Siew Yen, Sungai Banyau longhouse chieftain Jampong Meng, and KRT Sungai Banyau chairman Jawi Medan.
