He noted that there were members in the Pantai Damai branch who were still lacking in such knowledge, adding that it would be addressed in future programmes.
“We will provide opportunities and exposure for them to learn and gain access to ICT. This will also enable leaders from each unit to have the required skills in ICT,” he said.
Dr Abdul Rahman who is also Pantai Damai assemblyman urged Saberkas members especially those in newly established units in the Pantai Damai constituency to be active in polishing their leadership skills and teamwork.
He advised them to cooperate in organising future programmes in order to produce greater impacts in benefiting the youths.
He noted that Pantai Damai currently has a membership of 5,800 from 23 units, which is the highest membership in the state and called for more vigorous efforts to recruit more members.
