The term of the previous JKKK expired about half a year or so.
Now that the term for the Ketua Kaum, Jiheng Mideh, was extended for another term of four years, the new JKKK was elected on 2 July, 2010, Friday.
The minute of the meeting is in the next post. This blog serves to be a contact point for any interested parties to make enquiries, to lodge complaints or even hopefully to give constructive criticsms.
In Bau district, Serikin is famous for having several JKKKs. Some quarters, or rather 'imposter JKKK', feel that the Ketua Kaum is not doing enough, or too slow to take actions, such that certain enthusiastic volunteers simply approach certain departments and political figures and claim to the serikin JKKK.
This was perhaps due to the inefficiency of the management of JKKK. BiSerikin are still so used to the idea that all matters must be handled by the village head, and not collectively by the committee.
And these quarters were occasionally being fooled and dealt with the 'imposter JKKK'.
Though some 'imposter JKKK' really did the village some favours, some caused damage to the credibility of Serikin JKKK.
With this in mind, the Kampung Jagoi Serikin JKKK will be very transparent and more proactive.
I happened to the new secretary of the JKKK.
My vision for Serikin is more rapport among the Serikin folks, Serikin must benefit from the current weekend markets, Serikin must tap the tourism potential and other business potential, improve our children's interest in schooling and improve the social problems.
I hope to bring in more younger BiSerikin who are working and living in town, to be involved in the organisation.
Our kids indulge in glue sniffing, ecstasy consuming and distribution and are not interested in schooling. Hopefully the JKKK can work with the relevant authorities to curb these negative activities.
Aseng Angaw is the only person, so far, whom I know will hit any youngsters, he saw sniffing glue. I hope that every BiSerikin will emulate this noble example.
I appeal to all BiSerikin, whoever you are, and wherever you are, to regulary visit this blog and interact with us, for the betterment of romin bori otto.
Together, lets make Serikin a model village.
