FOOD DISTRIBUTION TO KOA

Uncertain weather recently, made life of the Temiar ethnic in Jalong Tinggi, Sungai Siput miserable. They are facing difficulties to get food. They cannot go into the forest for foods or other supplies for living as the wild life is looking for food too. They could not come out to town as the roads are damaged due to soil erosion, land slide etc. 

Today, 47 boxes of food box has been given out to all families in KOA Hussin. Big thank you to Yayasan Bina Upaya whom has been very cooperative and their prompt responsive is very much appreciated. The delegation lead by Dato' Tan Lian Hoe, chair lady PEWANI Perak.

Talib, the village chief brought up issues concerning the villages

As usual, the 'Orang Asal' villages in Jalong Tinggi shared the same issues i.e. economic development, street lights, etc. KOA Kelah village chief requested to rebuild and cleaning the water catchment. I proposed cements to be sponsor by generous housing developer and the works can be carry out on 'gotong-royong' basis.

After distributing the food boxes, a dialogue was held in KOA Landap. This is the continuation of the previous dialogue.

All these activities received tremendous respond from the 'Orang Asal' and the delegation are most welcome.

PLANTUK APPEALS

The JKKK Chairman of KOA Plantuk, En. Ali Jaafar together with the new UMNO Cawangan Plantuk Chief, En. Siron seek my assistance to submit their request to the relevant department. As the 'Orang Asal' is under the jurisdiction of the Rural Development Ministry, their written request has been forward to YB Dato' Shaarani the EXCO in charge. Hopefully the Plantuk folks request will have YB Dato' Shaarani's consideration as their request have direct effect to their daily living.

APPEAL FOR HOUSE REPAIR

 

A house in KOA Kenang has been burnt on 11 May, 2015. A police report has been made. I was told an appeal for repair has been submitted to JAKOA Sg. Siput, however until today no respond from the department. The village chief, Batin Saidin has approached JAKOA and advised to seek assistance either from other department as JAKOA do not have allocation for this purpose or write to the Minister.

This matter was brought to me recently. A written request under the Persatuan Anak Temiar Jalong Tinggi was submitted to Yayasan Bina Upaya Chairman, Dato' Shaarani who is also the State EXCO in charge of the rural development. Hopefully there is a positive respond from the Yayasan Bina Upaya soon.
