Call for UTC in Miri

Proposed venue: Lee gesturing as he explains a point during the site visit to the Miri City Council yesterday.

MIRI: The Federal Government needs to expand its Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) concept to Miri City in northern Sarawak as this city functions as the main hub for some 1.5 million people.

Sarawak Assistant Minister for Social Development Datuk Lee Kim Shin said the UTC – that functions as a one-stop venue for dealing with key Federal Government departments – was a very useful concept as it enabled citizens to handle important tasks with these departments more conveniently and efficiently in one place.
