Madani Gov't Committed To Resolving Public Issues Through Outreach Programmes

SUNGAI PETANI, Jan 16 (Bernama) -- The government is committed to addressing issues faced by the people in each parliamentary constituency through a series of outreach programmes, while also delivering Ihsan MADANI contributions to selected recipients.

The Prime Minister's political secretary, Datuk Azman Abidin, said these programmes are not merely about providing aid but are designed to identify and address unresolved problems in constituencies that their MPs may not have been able to tackle effectively.

“This initiative reflects the Prime Minister's intent, but due to his busy schedule, he has entrusted us to go on the ground and engage with people nationwide, a practice we began in 2023,” he said.

“For instance, in Sungai Petani, if there are issues that the state government cannot resolve and require federal intervention, we will escalate these matters to the Prime Minister and relevant agencies for action,” he told newsmen here today.

Earlier, representing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Azman distributed Ihsan MADANI contributions to 200 recipients at the Prime Minister's One-Off Asnaf Assistance Programme held at the Taman Sri Wang Residents' Hall near here.

Meanwhile, Azman also stressed the importance of collaboration between state and federal governments to ensure effective solutions for public issues.

“I recently paid a courtesy call to the Mayor of Alor Setar, and during the briefing, I was informed about their challenges and the need for federal assistance, particularly from the Housing and Local Government Ministry. 

“Funding is essential for Alor Setar's development projects. Working in isolation will not yield results. We need cooperation to address development and infrastructure needs effectively,” Azman said.
