SMC Core Business/Scope of Works

Power and Division of SMC

1. Developing A Sense Of Community

• A Regulatory Role

  Sibu Municipal Council therefore has to define by-laws and regulations which support this development of a sense of community. Sibu Municipal Council's regulatory role is not designed to constrain, restrict or limit the freedom or quality of life of the community - rather it is to encourage a sense of community and to protect it from the potential deprivations by just a few.

• An Education Role

  Sibu Municipal Council has a responsibility to disseminate and communicate these by-laws and regulations to the community at large, proactively endeavouring to educate the community as to how these by-laws and regulations will benefit them.

• An Enforcement Role

  A necessary adjunct to this regulatory role is Sibu Municipal Council's role as an enforcer, to ensure that the Sibu community as a whole is protected and nurtured against minority, selfish and self-interest.
