Selection Of Kampung Angkat Madani Follows ICU JPM Guidelines
KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has assured that the selection of Kampung Parit Seberang in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, as the force's adopted village under the Kampung Angkat MADANI initiative by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain follows the prescribed guidelines. PDRM Corporate Communications Unit spokesperson stated that the selection also complied with procedures set by the Implementation Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister's Department (ICU JPM). The spokesperson told Bernama that under the guidelines of the Satu Pemimpin Satu Kampung (One Leader One Village) (Santuni MADANI) initiative, approved in the Cabinet meeting on May 8, 2024, each leader was required to submit the name of their choice of village to the ICU JPM within two weeks. 'These leaders include members of the Cabinet, deputy ministers, ministry secretaries-general, heads of federal departments or agencies, as well as chairpersons and chief executive officers of statutory bodies, government-linked companies, and government-linked investment companies at the federal level. 'They must choose their hometowns or the place where they were raised. If they cannot meet this criterion, they may select any other suitable village,' said the spokesperson. The spokesperson elaborated that Santuni MADANI is an approach aimed at enhancing the potential of villages and the capacity of their communities through direct monitoring and engagement, identifying socioeconomic issues and the needs of residents. The spokesperson added that Razarudin had previously selected Kampung Jenal, Dabong in Kelantan, as PDRM's first adopted village, with an allocated expenditure of RM2 million, and officiated the launch on Aug 27 last year. 'The impact of the community programmes organised by PDRM has helped improve the quality of life for residents while also supporting the government's efforts in line with the force's slogan 'Ready to Serve' and the Police Day theme 'The Police and the Community Are Inseparable,'' said the spokesperson. A senior member of a political party's leadership council had accused Razarudin's decision to choose his mother's village as PDRM's adopted village under the Kampung Angkat MADANI programme of being an act of cronyism.

Yesterday, during the launch of the Kampung Angkat MADANI Community Harmony Programme, Razarudin stated that the selection of Kampung Parit Seberang was made by the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department based on its infrastructure status, which was assessed to be below 50 per cent complete, and in need of special attention.

Engage The Public To Bridge Policy Gaps, PM Urges Senior Officials
GENERAL LUMUT, June 15 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today urged all ministers, senior federal and state government officials, as well as policy and project implementers, to frequently engage with the public to better understand the issues faced by the people. The Prime Minister said members of parliament should also adopt this approach to ensure local concerns are addressed more effectively and comprehensively. 'Even senior civil servants are requested to go to the ground, which is why we have initiatives like Sejati MADANI and Kampung Angkat MADANI. These enable senior officials, including ministers, to identify any disconnect between policy statements and their implementation at the grassroots level. 'When we engage at the ground level, we discuss issues like education, unemployment, drug abuse, healthcare facilities and economic projects. All these must be addressed thoroughly because the challenges reported may differ between federal and state levels,' he said. Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said this at the closing of the Perak-level MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 held at Lumut Waterfront here today. Anwar stressed the importance of directly listening to the people's grievances through initiatives like the MADANI Rakyat programme or dialogue sessions between leaders and the public to gather feedback on areas needing improvement in development projects. Citing examples, Anwar said he learned about issues such as damaged toilets in many schools and limited internet access in higher education institutions (IPT) through interactions with the public during community engagement programmes at eateries or Friday prayers. He said such grassroots engagement allows the government to act swiftly in addressing these problems. 'We talk about artificial intelligence (AI), digitalisation, Microsoft and so on, but we still have broken toilets and no internet access. This is a major contradiction because while we want to prepare for an advanced future, basic infrastructure must be resolved first,' he said. Also present at the closing ceremony were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, representing the lead ministry. Among others present were Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and senior federal and state officials.
