SARIKEI: After learning about a longhouse’s misfortune with regards to Covid-19, Repok assemblyman Datuk Seri Huang Tiong Sii immediately presented food aid to 154 residents of Rumah Jugah Dunggat, Bulat in Kwong Ming/Minah last Saturday (April 10).
This is due to the fact that the 33-door longhouse has been put under enhanced movement control order (EMCO) from April 9 to 22.
Therefore, the aid is expected to ease the burden of the residents throughout the 14 days period.
The aid was given in the form of rice, sugar, cooking oil, instant noodles, chicken eggs, Milo, salt and flour.
The same day, Huang also visited the newly built Surau Permai Sarikei which is constructed under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP).
For the record, Huang had allocated RM700,000 to rebuild the surau under 2019 RTP followed by RM300,000 fund to upgrade the surau under 2021 RTP.
