Melaka: The implementation of the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) programme reflects the Melaka government’s commitment to a people-centric administration through ground engagement that delivers tangible results. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh stated that the initiative has addressed various long-standing issues, with public concerns receiving due attention from the relevant agencies and departments.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the programme aligns with the state government’s agenda of bridging the gap between the government and the people. The aim is to build an administration that truly listens to the people’s grievances and resolves issues effectively. ‘When we go to the ground, the impact is real and felt by the people. We are fully committed to making that happen,’ said Ab Rauf during the closing ceremony of the WRUR programme for the Bemban state constituency.
The event was attended by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad and Bemban state constituency coordinator Mohd Raziff Yakop. Ab Rauf highlighted that 148 programmes were successfully carried out during the two-week WRUR initiative in the Bemban constituency, addressing numerous areas of public need.
During the same period, the government received 106 public complaints, resolving 92 of them, with the remaining issues still being addressed. This success is attributed to the strong synergy among community leaders, government departments and agencies at both state and federal levels, government-linked companies, and non-governmental organisations.
The WRUR programme is set to continue in other constituencies, with every issue and complaint examined in detail to ensure meaningful solutions at the grassroots level. Additionally, Ab Rauf announced a government allocation of RM19.03 million for upgrading infrastructure and facilities at three schools in the Bemban constituency through the Public Works Department. This includes the construction of a new canteen block and a covered open hall at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kesang Tua, and a new pure science laboratory building at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Perak.
