KUCHING: The gravel road repair project in Kampung Sungai Kut Muara, which is nearing completion, will make it easier for parents to sending their children to school.
According to the Dalat Service Centre representative, Sait Seman, the road is prone to flooding during high tides or the rainy season.
“We have received complaints from residents in the area because the existing road is quite low and will be submerged during high tides and heavy rain. This, of course, poses a danger to students and villagers who use the road.
“On average, the houses in this area and a Chinese National Type School are located near the river. They are connected by a footbridge,” he said.

He made these remarks recently during the handover session of the project in Kampung Hulu Sungai Kut Muara from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) Mukah to the contractor. .
He said that the project covered a two-way road, with the first road spanning 136 metres, followed by the second road at 124 metres, and the third road, being the junction of the first and second roads, stretching 310 metres.
“This Rural Transformation Project (RTP) falls under the constituency of the Minister of Women, Children, and Community Welfare Development and Dalat state assemblywoman, Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah.
