THREE MADANI PARKS DEVELOPED IN AYER KEROH LAST YEAR

MELAKA, Jan 19 (Bernama) -- Three MADANI parks were developed in the Ayer Keroh state constituency last year to enhance unity among residents, says State Assemblyman Kerk Chee Yee.

He said that the parks were Taman Ayer Keroh Height, Ayer Keroh; Taman Sutera Wangi, Batu Berendam; and Taman Kerjasama, Bukit Beruang.

"Through the MADANI Park initiative under the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT), these parks were upgraded with various public infrastructure for the use of the local community.

"This effort indirectly makes the parks a platform for communities to conduct various activities, thereby strengthening unity among residents of different ethnicities," he told reporters here after the 2025 Chinese New Year Decorations Launch for the Ayer Keroh state constituency, officiated by Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.

Kerk added that following the positive impact of the initiative, he was targeting to develop at least three more MADANI parks this year in the constituency to ensure more residents benefited from the programme.

In another development, he said nearly 100 lanterns and decorative lights in various classic and traditional designs had been installed at the Taman Bukit Melaka field in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

He mentioned that the decorations, which also included recycled materials, were voluntarily installed by local residents at a cost of less than RM30,000.

"The public can take photos at the field, which is open for free daily starting Friday until the Chap Goh Mei celebrations," he said.
