MADANI Mind Transformation Workshop Trains Participants As Elements Of Community Change - DPM Fadillah

KUCHING, July 20 (Bernama) -- Participants of the MADANI Mind Transformation workshop in Petra Jaya have been urged to be elements of change in their respective communities, by living and practising the spirit of MADANI Malaysia in their daily lives.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said Sarawak should be the best example of a united, progressive and competitive MADANI society.

“As we know, the MADANI Malaysia concept introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is an integrated and holistic effort to make all policies and implementations in Malaysia more humane, which is constantly improved through deliberation and feedback from the people.

“In this MADANI Malaysia concept, its implementation is based on strong unity and emphasises justice that should be felt by every diverse racial entity or ethnic group in this country,” he was speaking at the closing ceremony of the workshop here, today.

The text of his speech was read by the Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali.

Fadillah, who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, said in the context of Sarawak, the collective approach becomes more significant because cultural and ethnic diversity is the main strength of the state.

“Every race, whether Malay, Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Chinese, Indians and others need to join hands as 'Team Sarawak' to realise MADANI's aspirations.

"We need to remember that this mind transformation is not just a government programme, but a social movement that needs to be embraced and practised in daily life. Start with small steps at home in educating children, interacting with neighbours and contributing to the local community," he said.

The three-day Mind Transformation Workshop since Friday, involved 54 participants from the Tupong, Samariang and Satok state constituencies.

Throughout the workshop, participants were exposed to various modules such as an introduction to the concept of MADANI Malaysia, practical communication and public speaking training, official protocol guides and an in-depth briefing on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
