'Kambing Hitam' dalam PBB harus undur

by Thun Diwan

SIBU: Selama 23 tahun menjadi Wakil Rakyat sejak kemenangan pertama pada pilihan raya negeri 1987, jangankan mendapat gelaran darjah kebesaran 'Datuk' ataupun 'Dato'',  jawatan menteri muda pun seumpama bak kata pepatah 'jauh panggang dari api'.

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) yang seangkatan, ada yang telah mendapat gelaran kebesaran itu dan dihargai dengan perlantikan sebagai menteri, namum ada yang dinafikan dan disisih jauh.

Antara yang bernasib baik ialah Datuk Wahab Aziz, Datuk Bolhassan Haji Di, Datuk Wan Wahab Wan Sanusi, Datuk Wahab Haji Dolah dan Datuk Hamden Haji Ahmad.

DUN Sitting (Day Four): Bayoi - Many areas in Serian need power, clean water supply

(Nov 04, 2010)

SERIAN district is in dire need of power and clean water supplies, Kedup assemblyman Frederick Bayoi Manggie said when debating the 2011 State Budget.

He attributed this to its rapidly increasing population which at present is about 130,000.

“Many villages in the district aside from Kedup still have not been provided with clean and treated water supply from Public Works Department (JKR),” he said.

He pointed out that in Serian town itself, consumers often complained of dry taps and very low water pressure as the present water treatment plant at Slabi with a capacity of 12.4 million litres per day was incapable of meeting the people’s requirement.
