SIBU (Oct 17): The road upgrading works under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) at Jalan Fu Kui in Bawang Assan will commence soon. In stating this, Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Bawang Assan Community Development team chairman councillor Kevin Lau said the project would cost RM200,000.

Lau, who is also the Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) Environment and Public Health Standing Committee chairman, was accompanied by the council’s engineers and local community leaders during the site visit and project handover to the appointed contractor on Monday. The group thereafter proceeded to inspect the ongoing upgrading works on nearby Jalan Chung Hung Toh which began last month. Meanwhile, Lau is also assisting two elderly women, Pula Ja’ie from Nanga Tutus and Pawak Gangap from Sungai Sebedil with wheelchair provision and assistance for the Sarawak Social Welfare Department’s aid application.



According to Lau, one of the two cousins is weak and can only take liquid food. “They need to get a doctor’s certification now concerning their health status to apply for the Welfare Department’s aid,” he said..
