MIRI: The Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) is the best example for the people to witness the good things the government has done for them and they should judge the government with their eyes and facts, instead of believing the rumours spread via the social media, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
“After the launch of the first UTC in Melaka in 2012, all 12 UTCs nationwide, had registered 11.5 million customers in 2015 alone, and I am proud to say that we have done rather extraordinarily in innovating our delivery system.
“I think this is the best example that as the government, we have put our foot forward in bringing the best to the people. We do not play politics (“tidak main politik”), nor play the politic of hatred and even more so, absolutely no fabricated story and defamatory postings on the social media,” he said in his speech during the launch of UTC Miri yesterday.
Najib reiterated that UTC is part of the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) which was introduced to improve the quality of services through strategic partnerships between government agencies and the private sector.
“More important, it breaks down the barrier between core government agencies as well as bringing the public amenities and services of private sectors closer for the benefit of the people.”
The launch of UTC Miri as the 13th centre in the country was also witnessed by Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem who was represented by Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication Dato Sri Michael Manyin; Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim; Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang; State Secretary Tan Sri Datuk Amar Morshidi Abdul Ghani; Communications Assistant Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin, Mayor Lawrence Lai, among others who attended the ceremony.
