MUKAH: The ‘Malam Santai UKAS Bersama ADUN Tellian’ programme reflects a continued commitment to reinforcing strategic collaboration between the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS), the Sarawak Government and grassroots service centres.

According to Tellian Assemblyman Royston Valentine, close collaboration is essential to ensure that government policies, information and initiatives are delivered effectively, clearly and comprehensively to the rakyat.

“This collaboration aligns with Sarawak’s aspiration for inclusive and holistic development, where government information reaches the people accurately and based on facts,” he said when speaking at the event held here, on Tuesday.

He also emphasised the important role of UKAS as the state government’s official communication arm in disseminating information, particularly on ongoing initiatives and current development updates in Sarawak.
