Development of Bayur township in planning stages

 
PADAWAN: The Bayur small township in the Padawan sub-district is in the planning stage for development.
 
Deputy Minister of Transport (Aviation and Road) Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said, considering this development, a coffee collection centre has been set up and the site of the Dayak Bidayuh National Association (DBNA) Penrissen building has been approved.
 
“As such, it is hoped that these developments could be realised, as they would contribute to the economic growth of the area and benefit the local community,” he said.
 
He said this during the recent Gawai celebration closing ceremony at the Padawan Sub-district Office here.
 
At the same ceremony, he also approved a minor rural project (MRP) allocation of RM50,000 for the community leaders and village chiefs (KMKK) in the Padawan sub-district area.
