11 APRIL 2026 | MELAKA: UPNM today held the Handover Ceremony for the Kampung Angkat MADANI Programme projects in Kampung Alai, marking the successful implementation of a comprehensive community development initiative. The ceremony was officiated by YBhg. Lt Gen Datuk Wira Arman Rumaizi bin Hj Ahmad, Vice Chancellor of UPNM. Being a native of Kampung Alai himself, his involvement added a profound and personal significance to the local community.

The event was also attended by YB Datuk Wira Abdul Razak bin Abdul Rahman, Melaka State EXCO for Tourism, Heritage, Arts, and Culture, reflecting the state government's strong support and commitment to the community development agenda through the Kampung Angkat MADANI Programme.

With a total value of RM1 million, the implementation encompasses various development scopes, including the construction of a covered futsal court, upgrading of carpets and CCTV systems at Masjid Al-Falihin, installation of lighting at the new Islamic cemetery, roof repairs for economic stalls, and the construction of a landmark monument at the entrance of Kampung Alai. The initiative was further strengthened by educational development programmes at Sekolah Kebangsaan Alai, health screenings and wellness activities for the community, as well as the presentation of contributions to the JPKK, schools, and the asnaf group.

This achievement demonstrates UPNM's capability as an implementing agency that not only plans but successfully translates policy into high-impact action on the ground, bolstered by the cooperation of various parties. What was handed over today transcends physical projects; it represents functional facilities, an improved environment, and a tangible enhancement in the community’s well-being.
