Tutong - Three senior citizens were awarded the "Mukim Ukong Senior Citizen Merit Award" yesterday during the Senior Citizens Day celebration organised by the Consultative Committee of Mukim Ukong.

The event was held at the multi-purpose hall of Kg Bukit in Tutong. Those receiving awards were Awg Narak bin Buntak of Kg Ukong, Awg Riah bin Idop of Kg Bukit and Awg Md Kamsani bin Abdullah of Kg Longmayan.

Present as the guest of honour was Awg Mawardi bin Haji Abdullah, Acting Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs. In his speech, he applauded the awardees for their commitment and time in developing and strengthening peace and harmony in Mukim Ukong.

He stressed that it was important for every Mukim's penghulu and village head to ensure that the Mukim and Village Consultative Councils in their respective areas remained active.

"The Mukim and Village Consultative Council acts as a support to the penghulus and village heads in assisting them in their roles, tasks and responsibilities," he added. He urged all village residents to continue giving their support to Mukim penghulus and village heads and to be more active in carrying out activities that boost harmony, peace and the standard of living of the Mukim or village.

He also advised the Mukim and Village Consultative Councils to hold "post-mortem" meetings to identify any shortcomings faced in executing planned activities throughout the year. At the same time, he encouraged them to take the initiatives to ensure the smooth execution of activities planned for the upcoming year.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
