It is with profound humility and great honour that I take this\u00a0opportunity to thank Sarawak Government, and the Minister for Local\u00a0Government Datuk Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian, and SUPP for my\u00a0appointment as the third mayor of Miri Resort City.<\/p>\n

I realise the heavy responsibility of being the Mayor even as I accept\u00a0the duty. There is a huge expectation and pressure from the people of\u00a0Miri to see better services delivery by the City Council. And to\u00a0provide the proper leadership in further developing Miri to a higher\u00a0level.<\/p>\n

However, I am optimistic about the future of Miri. My optimism is\u00a0based on the fact that two third of the present batch of councilors\u00a0are new faces and are relatively young. I believe they will come with\u00a0new ideas and will be more open minded.<\/p>\n

And I know for a fact that our Minister for Local Government, YB Datuk\u00a0Professor Dr Sim, and his Assistant Minister, YB Datu Dr Panguang will\u00a0be supportive of our efforts to improve and develop Miri to a higher\u00a0level.<\/p>\n

I will work and coordinate closely with all the YBs within and around\u00a0Miri. They are Assistant Minister for Tourism, YB Datuk Lee Kim Shim,\u00a0YB Dato Sebastian Ting, YB Ahmad Lai, YB Datuk Gerawat Gala, YB Ripin\u00a0and YB Rosey. Not forgetting our Assistant Minister for Local\u00a0Government, YB Datu Dr Panguang. Together I am sure we can bring great\u00a0changes to Miri.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I take inspiration and comfort from the leadership\u00a0of our Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan. His progressive, open, thinking\u00a0out of the box and no nonsense leadership will be my guiding\u00a0principles.<\/p>\n

I’ll perform to the best of my ability to provide the proper\u00a0leadership in the City Council. To ensure that the City Council’s\u00a0services delivery are up to the expectation of the people of Miri.<\/p>\n

I do not want to be bogged down by the chronic bureaucratic red tapes\u00a0in services delivery to the rakyat. New ways of ensuring services\u00a0delivery will have to be formulated in consultation with my councilors\u00a0and City Council administration. I know the limitations of the present\u00a0system that often consider procedures are more important than results.<\/p>\n

However, time and people’s expectations have changed. So we need to\u00a0harmonise the procedures to ensure our ultimate objective of quality\u00a0services delivery is met. In this endeavour, I expect the full\u00a0cooperation of my councilors and City Council administration. Together\u00a0we will overcome the present shortcomings.<\/p>\n

I would also like to see the major issues of public concerns in Miri\u00a0to be dealt with in a holistic manner. Issues like chronic traffic\u00a0jams in many parts of the city, the indiscriminate parking, the\u00a0increasing environmental and rubbish pollution woes, security and\u00a0safety concerns in the city and its outskirts, increase animal cruelty\u00a0problems, the present squatter dilemma and other similar day to day\u00a0concerns are to be given priority attention as these directly affect\u00a0the quality of life in our society in Miri.<\/p>\n

It is among my key objectives to ensure Miri Resort City will further\u00a0develop its tourism potentials. Kota Kinabalu can be our model. And\u00a0it’s my hope that Miri Resort City will one day soon be as vibrant and\u00a0dynamic as Kota Kinabalu, if not better. Based on what I have\u00a0gathered, Miri Resort City is blessed with numerous potential tourist\u00a0attractions. We have just about the most colourful ethnic diversity in\u00a0Malaysia. We have Kelabits, \u00a0Saban, Barawang, \u00a0Kayans, Keyahs just to\u00a0name a few lesser known ethnic groups among score of others.<\/p>\n

Miri Resort City has good linkages to Mulu Caves which is a world\u00a0heritage site. To Niah Caves. And Bario which can be a premium\u00a0highland resort destination. Moreover, Bario is now under Miri Resort\u00a0City administration. These are some of our tourist assets that we will\u00a0fully capitalise on.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Miri City Council will immediately start to organize and\u00a0compile all these tourist assets and start to aggressively promote\u00a0tourism for Miri.<\/p>\n

As an enabler towards a step change in service delivery efficiency and\u00a0enhance tourism, I would like to exploit further on digitization and\u00a0leverage on information technology in alignment with the latest global\u00a0trends. This is also in alignment with moving towards paperless\u00a0culture and contribute to a better and greener environment that we all\u00a0live in.<\/p>\n

Now, to the private sector and people of Miri, I would like to say\u00a0this. Miri City Council is here to help, facilitate and enable you to\u00a0do your business, provided it is not illegal, and to make your life\u00a0better. Miri City Council is not here to hinder or make your business\u00a0or life difficult.<\/p>\n

Miri City Council will endeavour to be engaged with all the\u00a0stakeholders in this journey to a better Miri.<\/p>\n

As I said earlier, I’m optimistic about Miri’s future. I’m sure by\u00a0working together with all the stakeholders, we will make Miri much\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

So God, give me wisdom, courage and strength to do the right thing.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
