Elected Officials Urged to Serve Beyond Election Season

Pahang's Crown Prince, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah, has issued a strong call to action for elected representatives in the state, urging them to demonstrate greater commitment and diligence in serving their constituents. His Royal Highness emphasized that the role of a people's representative extends far beyond election campaigns and requires consistent engagement with the public and government bodies.

During the opening of the 15th Pahang State Assembly, Tengku Hassanal highlighted the need for elected officials to actively liaakise with government departments and local authorities. This proactive approach, he stated, is crucial for ensuring that the problems faced by the people, whether they be related to school drainage, stray dogs, broken embankments, or tree felling, are addressed promptly and effectively. The Crown Prince expressed his dismay that such issues were reaching his level, indicating a failure in the established channels of communication and problem-solving.

“

Don't just show your face during election season. Make an effort to visit government departments and local authorities to ensure that all the people's problems can be solved quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

His Royal Highness's remarks serve as a powerful reminder that elected officials are entrusted with a significant responsibility to uphold the welfare of the people. The expectation is not merely for their presence during election seasons, but for a sustained dedication to their duties throughout their term. This call for accountability underscores the importance of good governance and responsive leadership in Pahang, ensuring that the government remains attuned to the needs and concerns of its citizens.

Don't wait until the last year of the administration to show your face, to do this and that.
