Longhouse in dire need of electricity
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Elia said that the electrical wires and poles have been connected to the longhouse but the power has yet to reach them.
“The longhouse folks said that the electricity meters were installed in their longhouse in 2013 but until today, they have yet to enjoy 24-hour electricity supply.
“They have also paid deposits for the meter to be installed before,” she added.
Elia called on Entri, who is also Marudi assemblyman, to look into the matter and resolve them immediately for the longhouse folks who have been waiting for electricity for years. She also called on Entri to look into the problem of lack of clean water supply to the area and other longhouses in the constituency, especially during the dry season.
“Currently, they depend on water drawn from ponds near their longhouse and also rainwater.
“But because it is the dry season now, it is difficult for them to store rainwater and the pond water is dirty,” she said.
Present at the press conference was PKR Baram chairman Roland Engan.

My comments:
Ask Abdul Karim why he still thinks that the BN government still for sure can win almost all the seats in 2016 state election when the said gov't failed to perform. He said so in the Borneo Post a day or two ago. Does he still think the people so assly-minded to think otherwise?
