SUNGAI PETANI: The success of the Madani Village Adoption project reflects the government’s commitment and dedication to improving the community’s qua­lity of life, says Attorney General Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.

He said the Attorney General’s Cham­bers (AGC) adopted Kam­pung Jilid Lapan dan Rangkaian here to support the government’s aspirations.

“With an allocation of RM2.5mil, various physical projects have been implemented in this village including the paving of village roads, installing solar lights, repairing cemetery fences, upgra­ding the Kafa school library, building a fishing jetty, upgrading the football field and providing an ATM at the village mosque.”

Mohd Dusuki said this during the handover ceremony of the Madani AGC Adopted Village Public Infrastructure at Masjid At-Tahir, Kampung Sungai Gelam, Mukim Bujang here yesterday, Bernama reported.

The project provides great benefit to the community, he added.

Mohd Dusuki said the improvement of the village’s infrastructure can elevate the residents’ socioeconomic status, provide opportunities and allow the community to experience continued prosperity.

“We appreciate the cooperation and support from all parties, including the state government, the community, community leaders and department heads.

“We hope that such collaboration can continue to create a more conducive environment for the villagers,” he said.

Masjid At-Tahir deputy chairman Azizan Othman conveyed appreciation to the Madani government for initiating the programme.

“Thank you to the AGC for providing so much assistance to our village.

“Previously, if we wanted to withdraw money, we had to go to the town that’s about 3km away, and sometimes the ATM is down because so many people have been using it,” he said, adding that the new jetty would facilitate the village’s more than 50 fishermen.
