BUKIT MERTAJAM: A total of 51,628 people have benefited from the Madani Kita Programme (PMK), which aims to bring government information, assistance and services closer to the public.
Community Communications Department (J-KOM) deputy director-general (Management) Kafrawi Ridzuan Tarmizi said the programme provided a platform for direct engagement between the public and representatives of ministries, departments and agencies, allowing people to raise questions and seek clarification on government policies and assistance.
“As a link between the government and the people, J-KOM is responsible for building understanding and strengthening trust through two-way communication.
“Every opinion, question and need raised is important input that can be channelled to the relevant parties for follow-up action,” he said at the 2026 PMK at SJKC Peng Bin here yesterday, Bernama reported.
The programme, organised by J-KOM in strategic collaboration with the Performance Acceleration Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department, was officiated by Ooi Boon Sheng, political secretary to the Bukit Tengah assemblyman.
Kafrawi said 42 ministries, departments and agencies participated, offering various services to help the public access government assistance and facilities.
He said the programme’s success was measured not only by attendance but also by its ability to help people understand government initiatives and access services.
“J-KOM will continue to improve the programme to ensure each edition delivers direct benefits to the community, particularly by enhancing public knowledge and access to services,” he said.
Visitors could access, among others, health and dental screenings, MyDigital ID registration and Unclaimed Money checks.
