According to Adam, the continuity of the projects shows that maintenance and infrastructure improvement works in the Pujut area are carried out on an ongoing basis, based on needs and annual planning.
Meanwhile, he reminded the public to be more vigilant against the misuse of social media, including the use of fake accounts, anonymous accounts, manipulated artificial intelligence (AI) content and cyberbullying.
He said the public needs to be more careful in evaluating social media content to prevent family members and friends from being influenced by manipulated information.
Adam also urged relevant parties, including the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), to monitor such content proactively and fairly to address social media misuse.
At the same ceremony, RM41,000 from the Minor Rural Project (MRP) allocation for Pujut was channelled to 15 associations and organisations to support various activities and the needs of the local community.
Among the recipients were the Piasau Link Traditional Archery Club, Speed Chasers Motorsports Club, Kampung Piasau Utara Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK), Miri Chinese Charitable Trust Board, Miri Innovative Recreation Club (KRIM), Miri District Education Office and the Parent-Teacher Association of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas Miri. -UKASnews
