50 years of BN neglect solved by DAP visit

 DAP Betong two months ago went to Kampung Trusan in Betong to survey whether there was a possibility to hand them a project or two, to do under the DAP Go Rural (Impian Sarawak) projects.

To our shock, we found out that the village of Trusan was without a proper water supply system. They had to fetch water from wells & collect rainwater in buckets after all this 50 years. To add insult to injury, Trusan is actually sandwiched between two Malay kampungs which have long been supplied with pipe water all these many years.

We started to mobilized our Impian sarawak volunteers, contact the suppliers of pipes n other hardware to install a proper water supply system to the longhouse. 

 Just when we were about to launch our project, we were told by an officer from the District Office that the project for the installation of water pipes to the longhouse had been approved by the government n that the project will b completed within the next two months.

 Upon further enquiry, we found out that  the BN heard that the longhouse people and the DAP are trying to solve this problem once and for all, they quickly asked the JKR to connect the pipes to Trusan, which it was rumoured by the BN people that the said project would be completed in two months time come the end of January 2014.

 "I would like to congratulate the brave people of Trusan for having the presence of mind to contact the DAP when there was nobody else that was willing to listen to them and solve their problem. And we from the DAP, also would like to extend this type of help to anybody else in the rural areas, who might be facing similar or other types of problems," said Leon Jimat Donald, DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman & DAP Go Rural Southern Committee Chairman.
