SHAH ALAM -Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail expressed his readiness to answer various questions from the audience at the Town Hall Rakyat session here at Kumpulan Karangkraf.
He said the programme that which will take place on Monday was an effective medium capable of helping them to understand the people's problems better
"I am ready, I am confident that I can interact with a large audience from this space.
"I also express my readiness to answer whatever form of questions coming in, no matter how controversial. In my opinion, that's the normal daily life of a politician," he told Sinar today.
Sinar Harian's Town Hall Rakyat programme hosted by popular actor Azhar Sulaiman is a platform for leaders and ministers to present their respective performance report cards.
Kumpulan Sinar Harian editor-in-chief Zamri Rambli said other than understanding the roles and responsibilities of the ministries and agencies involved, the stage also acts as an interactive platform for the people to directly ask questions or related amd current issues to the leaders who come as guests.
Saifuddin hopes that by the end of the programme, the audience will be able to understand three things which are the function and role of the Home Ministry, the number of agencies under the ministry and how the ministry is always ready to give the best service.
"This is because many agencies under the ministry are related to the delivery system. Hopefully, this becomes the best opportunitiy for the audience and for me to share all kinds of information," he said.
He also hoped that through the exhibitions from agencies under the ministry such as the National Registration Department (NRD) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) assets, would expose the audience about the agency's role and function.
"Especially JPN as the department that manages birth, deaths, personal documents
"Meanwhile, police assets as one of the largest enforcement agencies in the country. Surely the exposure will strengthen the public's confidence, towards the force " he said.
