KOTA TINGGI: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob(pix) wants the Rukun Tetangga Community (KRT) volunteers to always be sensitive and keep abreast with the current developments, as well as staying close to the heart of Keluarga Malaysia, to face today’s issues and challenges.
He said KRT or Rukun Tetangga, established in 1975, had served as a platform for community unification and to ensure the safety of the people, and its function has since been expanded to include strengthening the neighbourhood spirit as well as peace, wellbeing and economic prosperity.
Ismail Sabri, at the presentation of the state-level ‘KRT Komuniti Sejahtera Keluarga Malaysia’ grant here today, said there were currently 8,330 KRTs nationwide and in Johor alone, there were 837 KRTs.
“I believe many have been involved as members of Rukun Tetangga. I also used to be a member of Rukun Tetangga in my community area. Because of that, the role of KRT is very important to ensure the safety of the community,” he said.
Ismail Sabri said the Ministry of National Unity had introduced a clear and comprehensive direction for Rukun Tetangga through the Rukun Tetangga Leadership Empowerment Plan 2021-2030, in efforts to provide quality and excellent services to the community.
