KUCHING: A beneficiary of the Sarawak Dilapidated House Improvement Project (PPRMS), 33-year-old Andrien Talaja is grateful because finally, his dream of having a safer and more comfortable family home has come true.
He said previously, he and his family lived in a dilapidated house which lacked proper toilet and kitchen facilities and had a leaking roof.
“I’m grateful we will sleep better now at night when it rains heavily.
“I did not expect that finally, my family could live in a much more comfortable house thanks to the Sarawak government’s help,” he said
Andrien said this when met by reporters after receiving a letter signifying the completion of the renovation from Batu Kitang assemblyman Datuk Lo Khere Chiang Kampung Sinar Baru here today (May 30).
The house actually belongs to Andrien’s mother, Wihelmina Sim. who was away at work.
Lo said the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government always strove to ensure its people have comfortable lives.
Through PPRMS, he said, the government would continue to help and provide comfortable homes to residents in this state.
“Under the leadership of Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, we have helped many people through various initiatives including PPRMS which aims to provide comfortable housing for them.
“Under the PPRMS, each house will be given a maximum allocation of RM15,000 to repair the roof, walls, windows, stairs, bathroom, and ceiling to improve the people’s homes,” he said, adding that the house repair project would take one month to complete.
He urged all Sarawak residents to continue supporting the GPS government so that efforts to help and develop this state could be sustained.
After the visit, Lo and representatives of the relevant agencies, went on to visit the home of another PPRMS recipient in Kampung Bukit Panchor to see the progress of the project.
