MUKAH – In the spirit of Ramadan, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) Mukah Branch carried out a community welfare initiative on 12 March 2026, delivering Ramadan baskets and duit raya to families in need across the district.
The programme was led by Puan Dayang Feridzah binti Awang Kadir, Head of the JPJ Mukah Branch, who personally joined staff members in distributing the aid.
Their presence brought not only material assistance but also encouragement and joy to the recipients, reflecting the values of compassion and care that define the holy month.
The initiative was designed to ease the burden of families ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, ensuring that they could celebrate with greater comfort and happiness.
By providing food baskets and festive contributions, JPJ Mukah sought to uplift the community and share the blessings of Ramadan.
Residents expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting that such programmes help strengthen bonds between government agencies and the local population.
The visit was not limited to delivering aid but also included meaningful interactions, with JPJ staff offering words of support and encouragement to the families.
Officials highlighted that the programme reflects JPJ’s broader commitment to community welfare, beyond its role in road transport regulation.
By engaging directly with residents, the department demonstrates its dedication to inclusivity and social responsibility.
The initiative also underscores the importance of government agencies in fostering unity and compassion during festive seasons.
Programmes like this are seen as vital in building trust and reinforcing the values of togetherness within society.
As Ramadan continues, JPJ Mukah’s efforts are expected to inspire similar initiatives across Sarawak, ensuring that the joy of the season is shared widely.
For the families who received the donations, the programme provided not only relief but also a reminder of the caring spirit that binds communities together.
