Speaking at the event, Ugak called on parents and teachers to play their part in ensuring their children attend school and to monitor their movements so that they will not get involved in social problems.
The Hulu Rajang MP expressed hope that the civil servants in the area always practise the principles of transparency and trust when carrying out their responsibilities to the people in line with the concept of Malaysia Madani expounded by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
