Don’t forget traditions, Dayaks told

KUCHING :   State Assemblyman for Batu Kitang, Lo Khere Chiang has advised Dayaks not to forget their traditions and culture.

Speaking at the post Gawai celebration on Sunday night at Kampung Bumbok,  Lo said each Gawai celebration has its own attractions and urged organising chairman, Johnny Biduh to promote them next year.

 Without  history, a country was meaningless, he said, adding that everyone could learn from history.

Lo was thankful to the kampung in Batu Kitang and Batu Kawa for electing  him and Local Government  Minister,   Datuk Dr. Sim Kui Hian during the recent State Election.

He said now that he had been elected, he would be able to assist the organisations with at least RM3,000 each to help them set up funds for their  activities.

“The money must be put to good use for the villagers,” he advised.

At the moment, he said  most of the villagers complained of poor road conditions in their kampung.

 He urged them to be patient  as the Public Works Department and other relevant agencies were looking into the complaints.

Over 800 villagers turned up for the celebration.
