KUCHING, Jan 17: Development in Kampung Suba Buan will receive a significant boost with the implementation of two government-funded projects worth nearly RM2 million.

According to a report by Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS), the first project involves the upgrading of the two-kilometre road from Kampung Suba Buan to Kampung Suba Bau at a cost of RM900,000, funded under the Greater Kuching Coordinated Development Agency (GKCDA) allocation.

The second project focuses on improving the village’s water supply, carried out by the Bau branch of the Rural Water Supply Department (JBALB). The work utilises RM300,000 from the Rural Transformation Project (RTP) and a portion of the RM1.8 million allocated for the Jagoi area cluster pipeline project under GKCDA.

Sarawak Deputy Minister of Transport (Rivers and Seas) and Tasik Biru State Assemblyman (ADUN) Datuk Henry Harry Jinep said upgrading essential infrastructure such as village roads, clean water, and electricity directly benefits local residents and improves their quality of life.

Meanwhile, he said that with the issuance of Land Title Letters, villagers can now also apply for the Rumah Mesra Rakyat (RMR) programme which could help them overcome the challenges of renting or buying costly homes in urban areas.

He further noted that under the Greater Bau Action Plan, the strategy of providing solid infrastructure facilities followed by the issuance of land grants, which has been implemented over the past eight to nine years, has always proven effective. – DayakDaily
