Perlis Chief Minister Abu Bakar Hamzah is demonstrating a hands-on approach to governance by personally engaging with citizens across all 15 state constituencies. This initiative, dubbed "Perlis Mendengar Rintihan Rakyat" (Perlis Hears the People's Cries), managed by the Kangar Municipal Council, signifies a commitment to direct dialogue and problem-solving.

The program's inaugural stop in Beseri highlighted pressing local issues, particularly the need for improved infrastructure, with residents citing recurring floods due to inadequate drainage systems. Beyond infrastructure, the community also voiced concerns about job creation and economic opportunities that would benefit the local populace.

Selain itu, penduduk juga menyuarakan keperluan agar kerajaan negeri menyediakan lebih banyak peluang pekerjaan dan sesuatu yang boleh memberi limpahan ekonomi kepada penduduk setempat

โ€” Abu Bakar HamzahSpeaking about the needs voiced by residents in Beseri.

Chief Minister Abu Bakar Hamzah's pledge to personally attend all 15 constituency meetings, accompanied by department heads and local assemblymen, underscores the seriousness with which his administration is taking these concerns. This direct engagement aims not only to hear grievances but also to foster a deeper understanding of the people's struggles and to collaboratively find solutions.

This proactive stance is particularly noteworthy as the state legislative assembly is set to convene from June 3rd to 5th. The Chief Minister, having been in office for just over three months, is also in the process of shaping the state's future direction, with plans for leadership committees and a "Prosperous Perlis" planning committee to be announced during the assembly session. This period marks a significant phase for Perlis as it charts its course under new leadership, with a clear emphasis on responsiveness to the needs of its citizens.

Terima kasih kepada MPK yang menjadi urusetia kepada program yang cukup penting dalam mendekati rakyat secara lebih dekat itu. Kita akan mendengar segala rintihan selain menjiwai keluh kesah rakyat
