RM1.1MLN BOOST FOR KAMPUNG SERI MENANTI UNDER PSD MADANI ADOPTED VILLAGE

KUALA PILAH, Dec 13 (Bernama) -- Eight major infrastructure projects in Kampung Seri Menanti here have been completed under the MADANI Adopted Village initiative led by the Public Service Department (PSD), involving an allocation of RM1.1 million.

Public Service (Operations) deputy director-general Datuk Mohd Shaiful Ibrahim said the projects reflect the department’s commitment as a central agency in supporting the government’s agenda while improving the well-being and quality of life of rural communities.

“Among the works carried out are the installation of solar-powered street lights, and the upgrading of the village library, community hall, resource centre and sepak takraw court.

“This was done in collaboration with the Negeri Sembilan State Development Office and the Kuala Pilah District and Land Office,” he said after officiating the PSD MADANI Adopted Village and Adopted School programme’s closing ceremony here today.

In addition to infrastructure upgrades, he said several community-based activities were held, including Adat Menerang Buapak and Adat Berkodim ceremonies, gotong-royong and village enhancement programmes, as well as the Mini MADANI Seri Menanti Healthy Carnival.

Mohd Shaiful said Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Za’aba was also selected as the department’s  MADANI Adopted School, with an allocation of RM100,000 to create a more conducive learning environment.

He said the upgrades included improvements to the examination hall and workshop, the provision of Google TV and smart boards for interactive digital learning, as well as spiritual and intellectual development programmes such as the Young Leadership Camp and the MADANI Uniformed Units Camp.

“I hope these facilities will be maintained responsibly and used prudently,” he said.
