Dept urged to look into claim over committee
MENGGATAL:
The Kampung Badulan’s Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) wants the State Information Department director to look into the alleged non-activation of the village’s Komuniti Bestari despite receiving allocation from the Government. Its chairman, Ustaz Ramli Ungking, said the committee had never implemented any Komuniti Bestari programmes in the village. “The JKKK has discussed the matter with village chief Zainah Godsung and he agreed that a new committee should be elected,” Ramli said. According to him, the officer in charge has failed to resolve the problem and therefore the Government should intervene as the villagers are wondering where the allocation went to. Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the villagers, Zawawi Datuk Ahmad, also has requested the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) to conduct an investigation into the allegation. “The allocation was received by the Komuniti Bestari committee a year ago but we have yet to see any programmes implemented,” he said.
