Antik folk demand govt fulfils its election pledge Posted on January 27, 2013, Sunday Borneo Post


SRI AMAN: The villagers of Antik in Bukit Balau near here are demanding the government to fulfil its election pledge to build an access road to the village.
A village folk, who declined to be the named, said they have been waiting for many years for the access road to be realised following promises made by the assemblyman and member of parliament for that area.
“From the last parliamentary and last state election, the YBs (elected representatives) during campaigning have been promising to do the road into our kampung, but until today we see nothing,” said the village folk.
DAP Sri Aman branch chief Leon Jimat Donald, who was approached by the villagers to highlight their problem, said the people in the village had exhausted all their options.
“The Prime Minister keeps saying to all BN MPs that all promises of projects must be kept and done, then how come this one is not delivered? The folks at Antik have suffered long enough and they have to bear with the terrible condition of the Sri Aman-Lingga road every day,” said Leon.
He explained that there are 13 families living in Antik which is in the Bukit Begunan constituency.
On another note, DAP Sri Anan will be having a ‘ceramah’ (talk) in front of their office next Sunday starting from 6.30pm.
The speakers will include DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang and state DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jien.
