Where is our electricity?

The voices of exasperation and despair can no longer be ignored from the folks of Ulu Undup, Sri Aman, where they met up with DAP Sri Aman Chairman Leon Jimat Donald, about their electricity problem.

According to them, the completion & supply of electricity has been promised by the elected representatives of the area Francis Harden & Masir Kujat, has somewhat stalled since last year and until now, most are still living in darkness.

'Before the end of the year 2013, we were told we will enjoy the supply of electricity it was promised, but now, we are still suffering. Those who have generator sets are suffering greatly because our fuel bill now is over rm350 per month', lamented Nangkai Tungol.

A check by DAP Sri Aman Chief, Leon Donald found out that the electrical poles that were erected have now been covered by grass & the cables dangling where it is not connected. The project site seemed to be abandoned.

'We urge the elected representatives of Sri Aman to stop fooling the rakyat with empty promises and false hopes. Their fuel bill is a heavy burden on them and since the fuel hikes, all other necessities have risen as well in price. The rakyat has been dreaming for electricity to be connected to their homes for many many years. Please 'Tepati Janji' and get the rural electrification project completed before it becomes another list of 'recycled promises' to be recycled by the BN representative in the coming State Election', said Leon Donald who is also the DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman.

Another sick project in Sri Aman: The neglected electrical transmission pole in Ulu Undup covered in grass and creepers.
