إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا ٱلْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًۭا
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice.”
— Qur’an 4:58
A government center is more than a completed structure. It represents a trust entrusted to those called to serve—a place where leadership, responsibility, and public service come together for the benefit of the community.
May this Government Center stand as a lasting symbol of trust, unity, and good governance, bringing essential government services closer to the people and serving as a foundation for the continued progress and development of Ungkaya Pukan.
