TAWAU, Oct 19 (Bernama) -- The
Kampung Merotai Besar has been chosen as the site for the launch of the
'My Kampung My Future' pilot project, a national project coordinated by
the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry to encourage youths to
remain in their villages and contribute towards their development.
Sabah's Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA) director Ridin Wahid said in conjunction with the project's launch on Nov 2, a three-day carnival will be held and participated by some 30 government agencies and government-linked companies.
He added that it is hoped through the carnival, youth will be better informed of the opportunities available for them to stay in the villages and contribute towards their socio-economic development.
He said the village was chosen as it met all the requirements such as its location, basic infrastructure, arable land and traditional values.
Furthermore, the village currently has 30 per cent of its youths actively involved in various economic activity such as small and medium industry, shrimps and mushroom farming and the seaweed industry.
