Reminder to federal quarters residents

Kota Kinabalu: Residents of Federal quarters have been reminded to remain active in any community programme organised by the residential management.Deputy Sabah Federal Secretary Dr Jamaluddin Mohd Ali said their involvement in such activities will be one of the criteria to be taken into consideration to approve the residential tenure five years after staying in them.

"To date, there are 1,500 quarters applications while there are only 501 Federal quarters in Sabah," he said during the launching of the "My Quarters, My Home, My Community" awareness programme at the Indah Permai Federal residential complex, here, recently.

Hence, he said, residents who are provided with the quarters should be thankful and appreciate the opportunity given by the Government.

"They too should contribute towards the development of the facilities in the quarters and help the Government to utilise the maintenance allocation prudently."
