Mini MITI Day: Empowering Communities, Bridging the Gaps, and Enhancing Competitiveness

On 10 August 2024, Mini MITI Day was held at Kampung Tebuk Mufrad, Sabak Bernam uniting MIDA and other agencies under MITI. The event was officiated by YB Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz and attended by heads of agencies under MITI, including Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA.

Kampung Tebuk Mufrad has been designated as MITI’s Kampung Angkat MADANI, reflecting the initiative introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during Budget 2024 announcement.

The highlight of the day was the groundbreaking ceremony for an Open Multi-Purpose Hall, a key project led by MITI to enhance the local community’s well-being. Designed to serve as a space both leisure and sports, the hall will feature courts for futsal, volleyball, badminton, sepak takraw, and basketball as well as function as a central venue for community and entertainment events.

Throughout the event, talks, presentations, and services were provided to the local community. MIDA’s Chemical and Advanced Materials Division, in collaboration with All Cosmos Industries Sdn. Bhd., a local company, donated one metric ton of fertilizer further supporting sustainable agricultural efforts in the area.

While Kampung Tebuk Mufrad maintains its strong agricultural foundation, these new initiatives are strategically implemented to enhance the village competitiveness. The development of the Open Multi-Purpose Hall, along with other community-focused projects, is expected to attract both tourists and businesses to the area. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to stimulate gradual economic development and align with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles.

MIDA’s active involvement in Mini MITI Day showcases our dedication to ESG principles.

The donation by All Cosmos Industries Sdn. Bhd., of environmentally friendly fertilisers promotes sustainable agriculture and reduces environmental impact, addressing the environmental aspect of ESG. The Open Multi-Purpose Hall enhances social well-being by providing space for community interaction and recreation. MIDA’s transparent and collaborative approach—working alongside other agencies and engaging with the local community—reflects strong governance practices.

By empowering communities, building a sustainable future, and fostering economic growth, MIDA is setting a positive example of responsible corporate citizenship.
