SIBU: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is expected to officiate at the opening of the Selangau Riverfront and three-storey Selangau District Office building next Monday on Dec 18.
Tamin assemblyman Christopher Gira Sambang said the matter was among those that had been discussed during a meeting at the Selangau District Office recently.
“A committee has been established and a meeting was chaired by Sibu Resident Datuk Wong Hee Sieng to discuss the preparations for the upcoming opening ceremony of the two Projek Rakyat (People’s Project).
“In addition, approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend the opening ceremony at 10 am on that day,” he said in a Facebook post.
Earlier, Wong also conducted a visit to the site for the opening ceremony at the Selangau Riverfront.
Among those present at the meeting were Selangau MP Edwin Banta, Selangau District Officer Inting Nyami, Sibu Deputy Resident Christopher Ranggau Unting, and State Protocol and Public Relations Unit (UPPAN) director Hamdan Sharbini.
Meanwhile, construction of the projects cost RM5 million each, with both projects completed in 2021.
The projects were among those announced by Abang Johari during a walkabout in Selangau in 2018.
