KOTA PADAWAN: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has received a ‘Letter of Appreciation’ from the Ministry of Welfare, Women and Community Wellbeing for its contribution and excellent achievement in carrying out the 1AZAM Programme.
“I would like to say ‘Thank You’ to Datuk Hajah Fatimah Abdullah. It is an encouragement letter. She acknowledged the fact that we have done well.
“It is not every day that you receive compliment from people, from ministers and from authorities, that is why I would like to highlight this one,” MPP chairman, Cr. Lo Khere Chiang told reporters at a press conference after MPP Full Council Meeting here, yesterday.
Lo added that it was not only just an encouragement for those in MPP, but he looked at it as an encouragement to other councils to do well, too.
“We have excelled in certain areas and this is an area where we have done well and that is why we have been acknowledged,” he said.
The 1AZAM Programme which MPP carried out in 2015 as part of its Social Corporate Responsibility, (SCR) involved three categories, namely AZAM Niaga Kiosk, AZAM Niaga Runcit and AZAM Potong Ramput.
The AZAM Niaga Kiosk involved two participants, AZAM Niaga Runcit involved six participants while the AZAM Potong Rumput involved three participants.
The KPI set by the Ministry was 10 participants but MPP managed to get 11 participants.
“We not only have to identify the participants but also have to monitor them,” Lo said.
Lo added that the 1AZAM programme which MPP has been involved in over the past five years is an on-going programme.
