JASIN - The Melaka National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN) will continue to conduct community programmes through 252 Rukun Tetangga Areas (KRT), which would play the role of government agents in nurturing unity in the state.
The department's state director Intan Suhana Yusuff said the programmes include the Gerak Rahmah initiative to develop the Rahmah Community through various high-impact activities for the well-being of the entire community.
"This programme will drive the KRT in an integrated and comprehensive manner at their respective community levels with activities such as walking, colouring contests, cleaning up projects and presenting of Rahmah baskets to the needy.
"It can also strengthen KRT's role within the community, particularly in helping the government build Malaysia Madani,” she told reporters after the state-level 2023 Gerak Rahmah: Jom Gerak Muhibah programme in Sungai Rambai, here today.
