Resident councillors on call for quick repairs in Padawan


KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) is trying its best to be fair to all communities where infrastructural improvement is concerned, said its chairman Lo Khere Chiang.

“There are 32 MPP councillors each with his own area to take care of. People facing problems in their areas can contact the resident councillor for that area. More details can be found on our website www.mpp.sarawak.gov.my.

“They can also use Talikhidmat to voice their grouses. Once we receive a complaint, we will try out best to act on it,” he told reporters during his working visit to the road resurfacing project at Taman Kwang Tiong, near Jalan Stephen Yong here yesterday.

Lo said the project to resurface the roads at the housing estate was long overdue, as it has been more than 30 years since the roads were tar-sealed.

“We allocated RM200,000 for this project, which took three weeks to complete. It benefits about 150 houses in the area.

“This is just one of many areas that need road resurfacing. MPP will continue with such projects in other areas. We hope people will understand that we cannot do every corner of Padawan due to the lack of resources, but we will be fair to all,” he said.

The project was also inspected by SUPP Batu Kawa branch chairman Tan Joo Phoi, Resident Councillor Chai Sheau Lin and others.
