JULAU: Cooperatio­n between community leaders and various government department­s is important to ensure smooth developmen­t in any area, said Julau MP Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum.

He said such cooperatio­n will stand the people in good stead when it comes to the allocation of funds to their respective areas.

“Developmen­t does not come in the blink of an eye; it needs cooperatio­n and concerted effort from everyone. This is to ensure every fund allocated will be used wisely for the benefit of everyone.”

Speaking at a meet-the-people session at Rh Luyoh Ugam, Tanjung Udol last Sunday, he urged community leaders to support the efforts of elected people’s representa­tives in helping a place to develop.

“Make sure the people will not be hoodwinked by certain quarters, particular­ly when the general election is nearing,” he told the community leaders.

At the event, Salang commission­ed a new RM200,000 bridge for the longhouse.

Also present was Assistant Minister of Native Laws and Customs, Datuk John Sikie Tayai.
