NEWLY-APPOINTED state executive councillor Fahmi Zainol made a promising start when he held his first meeting with all eight MPKKs (Village Community Management Councils) under his Pantai Jerejak constituency at his office in Komtar this morning.
A former councillor with the Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) from 2020 to 2023, Fahmi, 31, has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the state Agrotechnology, Food Security and Cooperative Development portfolio.
He expressed his gratitude to all the 30-odd attendees at the MPKK meeting, including the chairman and secretary of each MPKK, for their dedication and sacrifices. The MPKK representatives were from Sungai Nibong Besar, Sungai Nibong Kecil, Sungai Nibong Pantai, Mahsuri, Kampong Jawa, Jalan Tengah Selatan, Jalan Tengah Utara and Mayang Pasir.
“My primary objective is to engage with them and convey my sincere gratitude for their steadfast support. The MPKK members play an indispensable role in community work. It’s also an opportunity for me to gather fresh perspectives and feedback pertaining to my new task,” Fahmi said.
