MIRI: A total of RM88,500 has been allocated through the Minor Rural Project (MRP) for the Pujut constituency to empower community development, covering the sports, education, welfare, and cultural sectors.

Pujut Assemblyman and Mayor of Miri City, Adam Yii Siew Sang, stated that the allocation was distributed to 19 local associations and organisations to support the implementation of community activities and programmes.

He said this while speaking at the MRP Presentation Ceremony at the Pujut People’s Service Centre on Saturday.

According to him, the distribution of this assistance reflects an ongoing commitment to ensuring that community development is implemented inclusively and comprehensively.

At the same time, he emphasised that the harmony of the multi-racial society in Sarawak must continue to be preserved as the foundation of the state's strength and stability.
