Rural electricity supply (RES) - wiring installation.
After almost 50 years of independence, baru datai karan ba rumah panjai. When is piped water coming, I wonder? Another 10, 20 years? The water mains is just 4.5 km away from the longhouse along the Bintulu-Sibu road. And our rivers and streams are being polluted more and more from the plantation and logging activities. The longhouse folks including the school nearby are dependent on rain water. So when dry season comes, kasih bala di menua merinsa nadai ai, literally have to nyauk ke Selangau ngambi ai. Yes, we were given water tanks but that does not solve our problem. It's just a stop gap measure. Our gravel road is in the most terrible shape now, what took less than 5 minutes before to travel from the longhouse to the main road now takes about 12 minutes bcos of the terrible road condition. It's worse now because the logging trucks transport the logs during the night along the road. Kemaya kami ngasaika utai ke nyamai?
