Sarawak's 20 Million Ringgit Investment to Transform Rural Villages

Sarawak Invests 20 Million Ringgit in Kg Sejijak and Kg Paroh Development The Sarawak state government recently announced a significant investment of 20 million ringgit in development projects aimed at transforming Kg Sejijak and Kg Paroh. These projects, unveiled by Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, focus on infrastructure improvements and tourism development. "This is a long-term plan," Premier Openg stated during the announcement, "not just about building houses but creating a sustainable future for these communities." The infrastructure upgrades will include new roads, improved drainage systems, reliable water and electricity supplies, all fully funded by the government. A key component of the plan is the construction of new waterfronts in both villages. The Premier envisions these waterfronts becoming major tourist destinations, similar to the success seen in Sibu. Furthermore, a new bypass road is planned to connect the villages to commercial areas, reducing traffic congestion and improving accessibility. The project demonstrates the Sarawak government's commitment to community development and sustainable tourism. The waterfronts will not only enhance the lives of residents but also provide economic opportunities through increased tourism. This initiative promises to significantly improve the quality of life and economic prospects of these villages.
