Don't Politicise Everything, Says Zahid
TEMERLOH, June 26 (Bernama) -- The people, especially members of opposition parties, should take part in various programmes organised by the Information Ministry rather than dismissing them as mere political gimmicks.
Deputy Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said programmes organised by the Information Department, including the Smart Community project, were aimed at promoting unity among the people through various activities.
"People shouldn't be suspicious about the activities for they are meant to unite the people of various races and religions irrespective of their political leanings," he told reporters after launching the Pahang Smart Community and Rakan Cop programme in Lanchang here today.
"The initiatives shouldn't be politicised and we hope everybody will take part in the programmes as they are aimed at improving their well-being," he said.
Ahmad Zahid said they would foster closer relations among the people through community activities, educational talks, interactions, and small and medium scale enterprise (SME) projects.
On the Smart Community and Rakan Cop programme in Pahang, he said the Information Department was targetting to increase membership to about 8,400 people.
Present was Pahang Information Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin.
