Earlier in his opening remarks, Jong said NSJA has carried out many activities last year despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
“NSJA carried out many corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes last year that received many positive feedbacks from the community.
“NSJA has also taken the initiative to carry out another CSR project which is to make an icon for Miri called “Sayangi Miri” which was announced at NSJA’s 45th anniversary dinner last year,” said Jong.
He added that NSJA has succeeded in collecting the funds to build the icon, which will cost RM45,000 but the project has to be postponed last year due to the pandemic.
Jong hoped that the project can kick off this year, which would have significant impact on the local tourism.
