JEMORENG: About 4,600 packets of meat weighing two kilogrammes each were distributed in the Jemoreng constituency to bring some joy to the villagers who will be celebrating Hari Raya and Gawai which coincides with the conditional movement control order (CMCO).
The distribution ceremony was officiated by Jemoreng assemblyman Datuk Dr Juanda Jaya at the Matu District Council Office.
“This is our effort to bring some cheer to the villagers during the CMCO period as it is difficult for them to get to the urban areas to obtain food,” he told Suara Sarawak yesterday.
He said this was the third time the distribution was held, and it is hoped that those receiving it are happy as it could at least lessen their burden during the festive season.
“With that I would like to wish all the villagers in my area Selamat Hari Raya. At the same time, we need to be careful and adhere to the advice by the Health Ministry not to go out unless it is necessary.
“It is important that we do not receive guests from outside and only celebrate among family members at home. Look after your health, and have a safe celebration,” he said.
