PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has taken a swipe at the Government on its decision to rebrand the Rural Transformation Centre (RTC) as Village Community Centres (PKD).

“The Government nowadays is so great and special. They are laden with ‘rebranding’ talent,” he said in a post on his Facebook page.

“I understand they want to abolish any legacy related to Barisan Nasional and Najib Razak. Even from the name’s perspective, they want to take credit,” Najib said.
“But it is alright. [If they] want to change the name, just change it,” he added. 

“For me, it is more important that the rakyat still benefit and enjoy the convenience provided by all the programmes and initiatives previously developed by us,” he said.

It was reported on Friday (Oct 12) that the government is rebranding RTC and mini Rural Transformation Centres (RTC) as PKD.

Rural Development Minister Rina Harun reportedly said the PKDs would be improved and function as centres for women’s empowerment programmes, as outlined in the draft Rational Development Blueprint Action Plan, and as hubs for village digital programmes.
