"Even though the number of providers in the Red Zone has decreased from 92 in 2021 to only 23 in 2024, we must continue to work hard to ensure that no public service is left behind," Najih said.
He added that the significant decrease reflects the success of various initiatives that have been implemented.
However, he said, to eliminate the Red Zone, ongoing collaboration and high awareness among all public service stakeholders are needed.
