KUCHING: Bau will be on par with other well-developed districts in the state by 2030.
The Sarawak government has allocated RM164.8 million over the last four years for the implementation of several projects in the semi-urban district located about 33km southwest of here.
Tasik Biru assemblyman Datuk Harry Henry Jinep yesterday said developments in Bau would continue as the government had already come up with a blueprint to chart its future progress up for the next 10 years.
The allocations have been distributed for the construction of the Bau District Complex, Buso-Musi Bridge, a sports arena and Perumahan Rakyat Rumah Spektra Permata Kampung Sibuluh, each of which cost RM5 million.
Henry said the projects also include the Tasik Biru pedestrian bridge which costs RM1 million, new Bau Wet Market (RM2.8 milllion), besides the construction of a water pipeline from Bau to several villages, a rural electrification scheme and Bau traffic light improvement works.
“People have seen tremendous development taking place in Bau within the four-year period and it will continue to be implemented once the movement control order (MCO) is lifted,” he said.
On another issue, Harry said that he is also seeking solutions to facilitate the issuance of land titles to deserving lot occupants in the district. – Bernama
