20 Years MRP projects for folks of Jln Sg Dijih

Balairaya built a stone throw away from the longhouse..



A chapel... abandoned, has never been used...

Let these pictures show you how helpful our YB had been in the last 20 years.

Here's 2 MRP projects given by our ADUN (including when he was an MP before). One project is a balai raya, built on the land belonging to his natural father (his father's name is Nyami, the YB was adopted by Ekih). The balai raya is near his long house, Rh Bilie. I dont know how much was spent including compensation for the land.

The 2nd project is a chapel, built on his father's land beside the SRK Sg Dijih. Lalang grass have been the only companion for the chapel, which has never been used. Wonder how much was spent on the chapel and compensation for the land.

There's a 3rd project, supposed to be tamu, sited near Rh Merawin by the Sibu-Bintulu Rd, not far from Jln Sg Dijih. The tamu has never been used to this day. It is in the middle of nowhere, its not a stopping point for vehicular traffic. Selangau bazaar which is a kilometre away has a fairly big tamu. I wanted to take a snapshot but it was used by the army as their base camp for the recent exercise so I did not - will take pictures on my next trip. The ADUN has a bilik in Rh Merawin and his close associate, Dali Merawin, the husband of his niece is a resident there. Wonder how they acquired the land and how much the government had to compensate the land owner for the project.

4th project, built a dam to supply gravity feed water to the nearby longhouses, purported to cost RM250,000 excluding compensation to land owner. The supply was only functional for a few months, including to our longhouse, after that the pipelines were sabotaged by those longhouse folks who could not get the water supply due to too low pressure...Mebe one of these days I will walk over to the site to take pictures for you to see....

5th project - almost all materials for building the longhouse of Rh Bilie was thru the MRP project- nyau enda ulih kena pemayuh attap spindex...he has a bilik there..A little bird told me the value of the project could have been about RM100k.

We heard that Jln Sg Dijih will only be sealed after all the kayu batang abis diangkut, enggai ka jalai jai. Lama udah kayu abis diangkut....We also heard that water and electricity cannot be installed first until the road has been sealed. That's the official explanation for the delay in getting those utilities.
