Johari: Ministry must ensure quality of life at Madani adopted villages enhanced
Its minister, Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, said the programme can have a huge impact and enhance the quality of life for the community.
He said the programme, introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for every ministry to "adopt" villages, was an important one.
"The importance of this programme is that it allows us to identify any overlooked issues. We at (the Plantations and Commodities Ministry) specifically chose Batu Pahat because there are many commodity-related activities such as oil palm, rubber and cocoa.
"So, of course we took the opportunity to see how we could go down to the ground and understand the needs of the people here.
"The allocation for the programme is RM2.5 million, involving the repair and refurbishment of suraus, community halls, and so on.
"With this allocation, various projects are being implemented, including upgrading educational facilities, places of worship and sports courts."
Johari said this to reporters after a handing-over ceremony for the Madani Adopted Village project by the ministry at the Taman Melodi multipurpose hall in Kampung Parit Bilal.
Kampung Parit Bilal and Kampung Parit Amat were the first adopted villages under the ministry.
Johari said the concept of the Madani Adopted Village programme was that every leader heading a ministry must be in tune with the heartbeat of the people, not only within their own constituencies but also in relation to issues arising in other areas.
He said the initiative has greatly benefited various levels of the village community, as it also involves strategic collaboration between the ministry and its agencies, the state development offices, village development and security committees and community leaders.
"The ministry and I are truly honoured to be given the opportunity to take part in this programme in support of the government's aspirations.
"If entrusted with responsibility, whether as a council member or community leader, one must be willing to go to the ground," he said.

‘Just like football, can't rely on the sole striker': Johari urges Umno team unity ahead of GE16
SHAH ALAM, July 27 — UMNO members have been advised to continue working as a team, which is free from internal squabbles, in preparation for the next general election. UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said the formation of a machinery as a solid team could prove decisive towards achieving success in the general election. 'In football, when we play against another team, you can't just rely on one striker. If you only have one performing striker, while the rest are not, it'll be difficult. So, we must play as a team. 'If the team is right, solid and has no squabbles, particularly in facing the general election, Insya-Allah, 50 per cent of the battle is won. The others depend on issues cropping up in the government and the country,' he said after officiating the Shah Alam UMNO Division delegates meeting here today. Johari, also the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, advised UMNO members to consider the views of the younger generation, in particular, who form 40 per cent of the total number of voters nationwide. 'They have a very different thinking compared to our ancestors. This happens globally when our audience, who are 18 years old, can automatically become voters. 'If we, as a party, cannot understand the thinking of our youngsters, how are we going to cultivate and constantly produce young leaders who understand?… our problems will be bigger next time. Commenting on the statement by opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin yesterday that the opposition is considering tabling a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament, Johari said each Member of Parliament (MP) has the right to do so. 'In this Parliament, any MP can table that motion (of no-confidence). Nobody can stop it. 'So, the motion is tabled in Parliament… then we will see who has the support and who hasn't. Parliament will determine this,' said the Titiwangsa MP. — Bernama
