MARUDI: Assistant Minister of Local Government and Marudi State Assemblyman, Datu Dr Penguang Manggil has urged the community leaders and residents of Marudi to cooperate with BN on the spirit of ‘Segulai Sejalai’. He said that although the villagers of Mulong now came from six longhouses who originated from Rh. Pengarah Entri, Penguang hoped that the villagers would always work together for the common good.
“At present, the social media has a great influence especially Facebook and WhatsApp, and I urge users to utilise it responsibly and not use it to spread false news and negative political propaganda,” said Penguang.
The Marudi State Assemblyman was present at the opening ceremony of the Leaders with Citizens and the ‘Awning’ project in conjunction with the New Year 2018 at Rh. Abok anak Jabu in Tinjar, Baram last night.
In that regard, Penguang told Baram Member of Parliament, Anyi Ngau to be re-nominated for the coming General Elections (GE) and called on the people here to avoid believing the propaganda and false news disseminated by irresponsible parties.
“In the coming GE, I hope the Penghulu and Pemanca are given the responsibility to ensure 90 percent of the voters go out to vote,” he said. At the event, Penguang presented the Rural Small Project (MRP) cheque of RM25,000 to JKKK Rh. Abok and JKKK Rh. Bantan anak Libau (RM10,000).
He also announced the Rural Transformation Project (RTP) 2018 with an allocation of RM60,000 each to Rh. Abok and Rh. Kalong to repair the roads in front of the longhouses. Meanwhile, Anyi had allocated RM10,000 to JKKK Rh. Abok and presented a cash donation of RM7,550 to the PTA of SK Pengarah Entri. Also present were the Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, Alexander Asing, SAO Beluru, Marliney and Community Leaders in Beluru.
