KUCHING, October 9: The RM1.2 million Kampung Haji Baki new community hall commenced construction today.

According to Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang, the community hall is one of the promises he made back in 2016, and once completed in 12 months time, can accommodate up to 500 people.

“This is what the 6,000 villagers here have been waiting for, a community hall to hold events such as meetings, wedding and many others activities,” he said in a press conference after handing over the Rural Transformation Project (RTP) to the selected contractor, at Darul Ehsan Mosque in Kampung Haji Baki, today.

Lo noted, with the futsal court completed, and the Community Hall under construction, a hawkers’ center is also in the pipeline.

“Currently we are waiting for the approval to commence the project (hawker center),” he added.

At the same time, Lo said some RM2.5 million has been spent for infrastructure in the said village, namely the community hall (RM1.2 million), futsal court (RM200,000), Hawker center (RM600,000), and the cemetery lot (RM200,000).

“All this effort and funds to build the facilities comes from the good leadership of the Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.”

“For that, I would also like to encourage everybody in N13. Batu Kitang, to stay united with GPS, and we will bring Sarawak into another level of achievement in the whole of Malaysia. We will be the shining example for all to see,” he added. –DayakDaily.
