KOTA BELUD: The Bank Rakyat automated teller machine (ATM) is now operational in Taginambur here, providing convenience for residents, particularly in the Kadamaian state constituency.
Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Development Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick said the Bank Rakyat ATM located in Tag Valley, Taginambur, is the first ATM facility in the Kadamaian area and the sixth across the whole of Kota Belud.
Ewon, who is also Kadamaian Assemblyman, said the Bank Rakyat ATM in the Kadamaian constituency not only provides convenience for local residents but also boosts the economic sector in the area.
“This is the first Bank Rakyat ATM in Kadamaian, which the residents have been eagerly awaiting, as they no longer need to travel to the further Kota Belud town to withdraw cash from an ATM,” he said following the launch of the Bank Rakyat ATM.
Also present were the Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Ministry (Kuskop) Secretary General Dato’ Sri Khairul Dzaimee Daud, along with several heads of Kuskop agencies.
Meanwhile, a resident from Kampung Tambulaung, Johnny Gilong, welcomed the provision of the Bank Rakyat ATM in Tag Valley, describing it as a significant development for Kadamaian.
“This is a beneficial facility for the residents around Taginambur, as previously they had to make a round trip of 16 kilometres to Kota Belud town to carry out cash withdrawal transactions.
“Thanks to Bank Rakyat, especially the Kadamaian Assemblyman, for the initiative to provide a much-needed facility for residents, not only in the Taginambur area but across all of Kadamaian, Kota Belud,” he said.
Two other residents from Kampung Kiau, Sharon Lun Johny and Bshenichie Faungin, also conveyed their gratitude to Bank Rakyat for providing the ATM service in the Kadamaian area.
“I believe this is the effort of Datuk Ewon, who is very attentive to the needs of the Kadamaian community.
“It not only facilitates local residents in withdrawing money at the ATM but also benefits tourists and visitors here,” they said.
