KUANTAN: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed all ministers and Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) to take their responsibilities seriously in monitoring the condition of villages across the country to further enhance the wellbeing of the villagers.
He said the directive also applies to all secretaries-general (KSU) of ministries and senior government officials.
Anwar said the directive does not mean that they have to conduct daily monitoring, but rather to check in once a month or every two months to ensure that village development is not neglected, as development cannot focus solely on urban areas.
“Yes, the government has its machinery, but sometimes the messages are not delivered. That’s why through this Kampung Angkat MADANI programme, all ministers, including the PM, KSN, KSU, as well as senior government officials must adopt a village, either their own or any other.
