ASAJAYA: The National Integration and Unity Department plays an effective role in uniting the various communities in the state, says Social Development (Youth) Assistant Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

“The setting up of Kawasan Rukun Tetangga (KRT) in the rural areas is a vital means of enhancing relationship and cooperation among the various ethnicities. 

“From what I observe, the department, through the KRT, has taken a positive step towards creating communties that are united in all aspects,” he said.

Karim said this while officiating at the Kampung Bangka Semong KRT Carnival yesterday, held in conjunction with its third anniversary celebration. 

KRTs established by village committees, he said, would always strive towards building viable and safe villages through its various actitivities. 

“We hope this effort of the KRT can continue inorder to strengthen solidairty among the people,” he said. 

The state assemblyman for Asajaya also wanted the 11 KRT in his constituency to remain active by organising suitable programmes and activities for all ages. 

KRT provides security and unity, says Karim

ASAJAYA: Youth Assistant Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah praised  Kampung Bangka Semong Neighbourhood Watch Committee (KRT) for promoting unity among the villagers.

He was in the village to officiate 3rd anniversary celebration of Kampung Bang Semong's neighbourhood watch committee yesterday.

He said although many regarded  KRT as merely a vehicle to provide security in a community, such perception was incomplete because it also provided a platform for all members of a community to promote unity.

He pointed out that since security could only be existed if all members of a community work together regardless of their races, the neighbourhood watch commitee was actually a very good platform to establish security and unity simultaneously.

He subsequently expressed his hope that more activities would be organised by the KRT. -Admin
