Alexander said the objective of the campaign is to raise awareness among the community on the importance of maintaining cleanliness and security of the district as Semporna is well known as world tourism attraction.
“We have discussed with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment to carry out this campaign through the Cleanest Village Competition which will involve about 20 villages,” he said.
Alexander, who is also the Chairman of MDS, said this during the launching of Semporna Cleanliness Campaign, recently.
According to Alexander, the campaign also aims at strengthening cooperation between MDS, agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and local community leaders.
