"MUHIBBAH" BLOOD DONATION CAMPAIGN

KRT Taman-Taman Muhibbah, Sungai Siput, KSK Jalong and Persatuan Kebajikan & Komuniti Muhibbah, Sungai Siput has jointly organised the "Muhibbah" Blood Donation Campaign on 30 October, 2011 in Pusat Komuniti Muhibbah, Sungai Siput.

This campaign was partly funded by LPKM  through the 'senam cergas' programme grant.

55 donors turn up but only 51 eligible to donate. It was another "muhibbah" event as the donors are multi-racial.

 

Treated Water Supply

6 "orang asal" settlements in Jalong Tinggi, Sungai Siput have proper treated water supply recently. It is a project carried out by JKOA to upgrade the living standard in the rural area.

Fresh water  from the nearby river and streams were supply to the villages earlier. The water will be filtered before distributed to each household.

Now, almost all settlements in Jalong Tinggi has basic amenities. Only 3 settlements without electricity supply.

Economy Development

The government through Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asal [JKOA] have initiated many economy development projects to improve the living standard of the 'orang asal' community. However, these initiatives will not be take of if there is no initiative by the people.

Kampung Pisang folks are lucky to have a young and energetic 'batin' (village chief), Nasiri. A 'batin' play an essential role to ensure the government plans are carry out and implemented well. He shall be sensitive to sense allocations and responsible to work it out with JKOA.

The Kampung Pisang folks are now embark to cocoa planting with the allocation and assistance from the JKOA. Hope this will be a successful project.

Hand Make Craft Hall

As usual, I visited my 'orang asal' friends today. My first stop was Kampung Pisang. There is an amazing hall ..... This proved the craftsmanship of the 'orang asal'. The 'orang asal' handicrafts are beautiful. They plait bamboo and rattan mat, the rattan and bamboo can make wickerwork for walls.

 

The villagers has built a beautiful hall. This hall was build with tree trunks, rattan and zinc. The villagers built it together. This concept is known as 'gotong royong', where all the people in the village come out and do it together voluntarily. It took them almost a year to complete. All the building materials except the zinc were sourced from the forest.

The Perak State government contributed RM3,000 through Y. Bhg. Dato' Chang Ko Youn a year ago. It was only one of it kind in Jalong Tinggi.

"ORANG ASAL" - WHO CARES (2)

I went to visit my 'orang asal' friends today, the infra problems are deterioting. The previous problems have been mailed to the Director of JKOA and the Parliament Coordinator; however no action taken till today. Today the new problems has been found!

The only bridge crossing Sungai Korbu to Kg. Kenang - Langkor, Kelah Baru, Pisang is in very bad shape now. It has been repair by the then ex-Works Minister who are also the MP for Sungai Siput. However, after he was defeated by the socialist MP in 2008, nothing was done! Is  time to change this wooden bridge into a concrete bridge. More villagers using motorcycles and cars nowadays. Gone are the days where they walk to town. Chaos waiting the villagers if no prompt actions taken.

Road? No actions taken since my previous visit ..... need to mail another complaint to the Director!
