The residents of Kampung Tukau Jaya, Miri Bakam Road, which is approximately 30 minutes from the Miri city that majority of the population work as farmers and fishermen request that the government can channeling clean water to their villages.<\/p>\n
This is the main problem faced by the villagers of Tukau Jaya until now they only rely on rainwater catchment and water pond located there. The villagers are in dire need of clean water supplies to meet their daily needs such as drinking water, bathing and washing clothes and so on.<\/p>\n
In the event of prolonged drought is certainly their water supply cut off. The water in the tank and ponds is not enough to cover their daily needs. They hope 2014 budget to help rural residents who do not have clean water can be used for their village.<\/p>\n
In addition they also requested that the road is fully paved with tar so that the road is not easily damaged. Gravel roads used now lots of holes and it makes it difficult for the villagers during heavy rains. The bridge that connects to their homes until now has yet to be completed.<\/p>\n
According to a population known as Sibutir he said “They have long urged the government to repair roads and the old bridge but until now had four elections, the road is still far behind as if they are in the 50s era.<\/p>\n
They’ve been waiting for so long for the provision of basic amenities to their village, already 4 representatives interchangeably but there is no one single promise they fulfilled according to residents there. He added that they also have apply to the government in order to make the Perimeter Survey on site of Tukau Jaya village, Miri Bakam road on September 17, 2011 ago but until now they have not got a permanent ownership at their residential site.<\/p>\n
They are very worried if the government does not give permanent ownership over the original inhabitants land there, the possibility that one day they will be forced out of their own land due to rapid developments taking place around the area.<\/p>\n
If they were ordered to move one day, where they want to go, whereas to get a land and house now is too difficult, moreover house prices is too expensive and is not affordable for the residents who live on average in a poor condition.<\/p>\n
The government should give the freehold to the villagers so that they can be independent and able to continue their daily lives without relying on the government subsidy. If the government can provide housing sites and agricultural areas for their cultivation by itself then they can get the results from the farms provided that the basic facilities and the infrastructure should be provided in their area.<\/p>\n
We urge the government and those concerned immediately solve the problem of clean water supply, roads and infrastructure in the village of Tukau Jaya. We hope the government would review the situation of the people in the village by provides a basic facilities as needed by the residents. Cooperation with the relevant authorities is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
Yours faithfully<\/p>\n
