JKKK In Sabah Asked To Submit Proposals On Environment
KOTA KINABALU, May 10 (Bernama) -- District Officers and the Village Development and Security Committees (JKKK) in Sabah have been given up to June 15 to submit proposals on their environmental action plans for their respective villages to the State Ministry of Rural Development.
The ministry's Permanent Secretary, Datuk Ghulam Jelani said the ministry took a serious view on improper management of the villages to the extent that they caused problems to the villagers.
"The ministry has no problem in assisting in terms of funding. But the proposal must be suitable and aimed at providing comfort to the residents.
"We must be serious in preserving the environment around the villages such as waste disposal using the best method and we must also know how to tackle disasters like the one that occurred at Kota Belud yesterday," he said when closing the Course on Environment Management in Menggatal, near here Thursday.
