  "account": "Kapit MP Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has urged village development and security committees, as well as community organisations, to utilize aid transparently and for its intended purposes. Nanta, who is also the works minister, emphasized the importance of accountability and integrity in ensuring that every allocation benefits the local community. Speaking at the cheque presentation ceremony for contributions under his constituency, he noted that the assistance was more than just financial support; it represented a shared trust and responsibility to further development and improve the wellbeing of Kapit's residents. At the event, 26 recipients from JKKK committees, associations, clubs, and community organisations received a total of RM217,600. Nanta stressed the significance of cooperation among committee members to ensure the assistance is used responsibly and meets their organisations' needs. The funds will support various activities, including longhouse administration and management, community events, welfare programmes, basic community facilities, and education and sports programmes. He hoped that the assistance would alleviate recipients' financial burdens and enable them to fulfil their responsibilities more effectively for the community's wellbeing.",
