SIBU, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi expressed his happiness and appreciation for the social media movement initiated by content creator Tracey E. Hughes and friends in their efforts to keep the Pan Borneo Highway clean.
He said the initiative not only reflects the spirit of cleanliness but also demonstrates a high level of civic awareness among the people regarding the importance of maintaining public facilities.
"Seeing the increasing level of public awareness, coupled with the efforts spearheaded by Tracey and friends, the KKR (Works Ministry) team and I feel less alone and more motivated to further raise public awareness," he said in a statement today.
Nanta also expressed his desire to meet with the group to explore opportunities for collaboration in intensifying the road cleanliness awareness campaign.
"I also see the potential to appoint them as MYJalan ambassadors in Sarawak to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining road cleanliness and safety," he said.
According to Nanta, such voluntary actions are a form of appreciation for the government's efforts in allocating billions of ringgit to provide comfortable and safe road and highway networks for the people.
"I fully support and welcome such efforts because they spread a positive message to the community and open people's eyes so that we can all work together to maintain road cleanliness and safety," he said.
He said such efforts help strengthen the message that roads are not only the government's responsibility, but also a shared trust of the people.
Nanta called on more people to come out and support and participate in such initiatives to ensure a clean, safe and prosperous road environment.
He also said that in August, the KKR launched the Pan Borneo Sarawak Highway Cleanliness Awareness Campaign with the theme ‘Jum Jaga Pan Borneo Bait-Bait'.
