KUCHING, March 1: The Covid-19 pandemic should no longer be used as an excuse for not continuing a project that is behind schedule, and community leaders must report suspected ‘sick projects’ to the relevant authorities.
According to a news report from TV Sarawak (TVS), Tanjong Datu assemblyman Azizul Annuar Adenan said it is the responsibility of community leaders to report to the agencies responsible that all projects should follow the specifications and that they are on schedule.
“We know that in 2020, 2021 and 2022, many projects identified were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, so we would see numerous projects being delayed, but it is not an excuse for the project to not be implemented,” he said.
Azizul said this during his speech at the launch of the District Integrity Roadshow Siri 1/2023 (Lundu District) Kuching Division in Lundu today.
He hoped that all community leaders play their role in monitoring the activities and projects in Lundu.
Azizul pointed out that if all projects are implemented properly, they would benefit the community as a whole.
“All community leaders must be empathetic towards problems in their area. Any crime committed must be reported promptly.
“I believe the government is committed to shaping integrity into our culture that covers all levels,” he said.
Also present was Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Integrity And Ombudsman, Dato Dr Juanda Jaya, the Integrity and Ombudsman Unit director Sarawak Semawi Mohamad and Assistant District Officer Lundu Zulkipli Morshidi. — DayakDaily
