State leaders question need for two village development committees in Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government's move to establish the Madani Village Development Committee (JKDM) in Sabah is questionable as a similar body exists, say state leaders.

Upko president Datuk Ewon Benedick said that the state already had an amended Rural Administration Ordinance for village administration to ensure that Sabah has only one village management body – the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK).
