Ipoh City Council Celebrates 99 Retirees

The Ipoh City Council (MBI) honoured 99 retirees of the council or their descendants by presenting certificates of appreciation and souvenirs during the ‘Jasamu Dikenang’ function held this afternoon. The event was graced by Ipoh City Mayor Y.Bhg. Dato’ Rumaizi bin Baharin@Md Daud.

Y.Bhg. Dato’ Mazlan bin Abd Rahman, Head of WHIP MBI Council Member, and other City Councillors, along with Council Secretary Tuan Ahmad Munir bin Ishak, Senior Directors, and Heads of Department of Ipoh City Council were also present.

During his opening speech, the Mayor expressed that the retirement of Ipoh City Council staff marks a significant loss for the council. “Retirement signifies a new phase for a civil servant, relinquishing all the duties entrusted throughout their career. I hope that retirees will keep MBI in their thoughts, upholding the council’s esteemed image, and making good use of the experience gained during their years of service.”

‘Jasamu Dikenang’ was organised to convey MBI’s profound appreciation and gratitude for the retirees’ dedication plus contribution to Ipoh City Council over the decades. Although retirement marks a departure, it’s a natural progression every working adult undergoes.

It’s not an overstatement to acknowledge the void left by their departure. However, the contributions and efforts of these retirees will forever remain cherished. The bonds formed during years of collaboration transcend retirement and will endure indefinitely.
