As a government department that is responsible in supplying a highly valuable resource to the rural population, Sarawak Rural Water Supply Department (JBALB) strives to ensure and maintain good relationships with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, the department engages with its citizen customers through social media; currently, it can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview with RAKAN Sarawak, Assistant Director (Corporate Communications & Customer Service) Awang Fardillah bin Awang Hussin said that since JBALB becomes actively engaged in social media, the department is able to reduce the number of customer complaints, as the public is able to connect with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, social media has helped the department to disseminate authentic and correct information quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, JBALB continues to rely on face-to-face meetings through \u2018turun padang\u2019 activities and community programmes to ensure that information concerning development of water supply projects are delivered effectively to its target group, especially since most of its citizen customers live in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
