Kpg Bumbok residents to get fiber internet connectivity by March
KUCHING, Nov 26: More than 1,500 households in Kampung Bumbuk and the surrounding areas in Batu Kitang constituency, will be able to enjoy fiber internet connectivity by the first quarter of 2021.
According to the assemblyman for Batu Kitang Lo Khere Chiang, this is made possible thanks to Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, who is also the chairman for Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA).
“Before this, the connectivity in this area was poor, and some of the constituents here couldn’t even receive it (due to lack of facilities). But today, I am very pleased that the internet connectivity has been brought to my constituency, and the constituents here will be able to enjoy and benefit from better internet connectivity,” he said.
Lo told this to reporters during a press conference held after reviewing the internet connectivity requirements at Kampung Bumbok, today.
At the same time, Lo noted that the facilities for Kampung Bumbok and its surrounding areas cost about RM10 million.
“For the whole of Batu Kitang constituency, it is expected to be ready by the end of 2021, and will cost around RM30 to 40 million,” he added.
On another matter, Lo also presented monetary assistance of RM450 to a single mother, Ani Nios, 56, with two children with disabilities (OKU) in Kampung Bumbok.
The assistant was presented under his Minor Rural Project (MRP) allocation, to help cover for her medical treatment, after undergoing a knee operation due to an accident.
Also present were Telekom Malaysia (TM) general Manager Jafer Sadig Abdul Lathiff and head of the village Kampung Bumbok Jonnis Rened. –DayakDaily.
