He emphasised the universal nature of death, stating, “As human beings, we know one day, all of us are going to be buried here; therefore, we must ensure we do good to improve the conditions of our last home.” He added that “in Islam, we know the value of keeping cemeteries in good condition. It prevents various disasters and calamities in society.”
Mai Palace also pledged to hire cemetery guards, provide allowances for workers, and supply them with the necessary tools.
In addition to the cemetery project, the legislator also empowered his constituents by distributing tricycles and motorcycles across the constituency.
