Public Support For Sarikei Division SKS Programme Beyond Expectations
SARIKEI: More than 30,000 visitors flooded the Sarikei Division Sarawakku Sayang (SKS) 2026 programme within just one and a half days, thereby reflecting the community's beyond-expected reception toward the government's direct approach to engaging with the public.
Deputy Minister for Urban Planning, Land Administration and Environment Datuk Len Talif Salleh said the encouraging response also demonstrates public involvement in government efforts to deliver policies, initiatives, and development agendas directly to the people.
According to him, SKS, themed “Jaga Sarawak, Intu Sarawak, Sayang Sarawak", serves as a vital platform in bridging relationships between leaders and the people, alongside strengthening unity among the community.
“This program enables the public to understand government policies more clearly while enjoying various services and activities provided,” he said when delivering his speech at the programme’s officiating ceremony here on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Datuk Len said Sarikei Division continues to enjoy the spillovers of development through the implementation of various projects valued at a total of RM4.9 billion, covering the infrastructure, economic, and social sectors.
“The transformation occurring today is the result of the government's strategic planning focusing on the real needs of the people at the grassroots level,” he added. — UKASnews
