LAHAD DATU: An application
to build a water tank worth RM 280 million had been sent to the authorities to
overcome the water shortage in the district.
Assistant Minister to the
Chief Minister Datuk Haji Datu Nasrun Datu Mansur said he was aware that water
was very important in development and daily use, and therefore took immediate
steps to apply to build another water tank in the district.
Nasrun in his speech at an
dialogue session with the Chinese community said electricity supply in the
district would also be sufficient after the implementation of the liquefied
natural gas (LNG) re-gasification terminal at POIC.
He said the terminal would
be able to supply up to 300 MW and was adequate to accommodate the use by the
people in the district and also the districts nearby.
“I will apply for an
allocation to upgrade Jalan Segama and other roads in the district and settle
other problems such as drainage, sewage systems, and others.
“I also understand the
demand from the people to build a new airport here, and I was made to
understand that the study of the new airport is almost complete and the results
will be known soon,” he said, adding that an airport was important to attract
tourists and investors to the district, apart from providing facilities to the
people.
On security, Nasrun said the
people in the district need not worry as he was confident that the police were
very competent and dedicated in carrying out their duties and this had been
proven by the reduction in crime cases in the district.
He also suggested that the
people invest and operate seafood restaurants to attract tourists to the
district, adding that would not only attract tourists but could also help
generate economic growth and development of the district.
Meanwhile, more than 100
Chinese community members comprising of Chinese Chamber president Mok Teng
Sang, chairman of the Board of Visitors Tan Cheng Teng, Chinese community
leaders, and chairmen of NGOs and Chinese associations attended the ceremony.
Chinese Chamber president
Mok Teng Sang said he hoped such programme would help assemblyman Nasrun know
the problems faced by people, and cooperate with the authorities to address
these problems.
He also hoped the problems
could be addressed so that infrastructure and the people’s welfare could be
improved.
Also present were District
People Development officer Aljen Jhony, community development officer Amat
Paduka Kawoh, local community leaders, and the Chinese community. (theborneopost)
