BATU KAWAN, July 23 (Bernama) -- The implementation of several programmes by the Public Service Department (JPA) in Kampung Pulau Aman here has helped improve the well-being of residents and access to assistance, thereby boosting confidence in government initiatives.
The Kampung Angkat MADANI (KAM) programme, carried out over the past year, and the two-day Jalinan Kasih Bersama Penduduk Kampung Pulau Aman event, which began yesterday, serve as a testament to the government’s continued commitment to rural development.
In a statement today, JPA said the Jalinan Kasih Bersama Penduduk Kampung Pulau Aman programme reflected the government’s ongoing concern for the welfare of the people, especially rural communities.
“This initiative is a continuation of the KAM programme that was implemented in the village throughout 2024. Even though the programme has concluded, JPA continues to support the community through high-impact activities that incorporate the values of concern, compassion and inter-agency collaboration,” the department said.
Earlier, JPA Management Services Division director Jalil Husni Yahaya officiated the Jalinan Kasih Bersama Penduduk Kampung Pulau Aman programme, which featured several activities, including a fishing competition, nature trail trekking, gotong-royong, community engagement and the presentation of musa’adah contributions to the asnaf and the needy.
The programme was carried out in collaboration with Kelab JPA, the Penang Fisheries Department, Marine Police Region 1, the Penang Civil Defence Force, the State Development Office and the Kampung Pulau Aman community.
KAM is an initiative by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim through Budget 2024 to enhance access to basic facilities holistically through a whole-of-government approach.
Pulau Aman, selected as the MADANI Adopted Village by JPA, is a traditional fishing village spanning 116.5 hectares, located about eight kilometres from the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge, and home to 250 residents from 47 families.
The island is accessible by sea via the Batu Musang Jetty in Batu Kawan, with a chartered boat ride taking around 10 minutes.
