KOA Plantuk is among the 10 'Orang Asal" villages in Jalong Tinggi. It is located in Ulu Kuang, Chemor. There are 148 families with the total population of 600 people in this village.

I visited this village today, meeting the JKKK Plantuk Chairman - Ali Jafar, the UMNO Plantuk branch Chairman - Sirun and the potential Batin - Long Ghapar and more than 30 villagers. They told me the current issues affecting their living i.e. damaged road, damaged bridge, street lights, housing and land matters. I promised to bring these matters up to the Menteri Besar.
A new hall has been built by the Member of Parliament Tambun, whom is the Finance Minister - YB Dato' Seri Husni Hanadzlah. There is a Klinik Desa and a primary school - S.K. Plantuk.

Damaged road, street lights and housing are the normal problems face by all villages. I wonder why the Ministry of Rural Development via JAKOA could not allocate enough fund for these basic amenities as they did for the traditional kampungs.

Along the way to KOA Plantuk, I notice that Lembaga Getah Malaysia (LGM) has began a project here. This is the second social economy development project in Plantuk. The first project was oil palm plantation by RISDA. Although there are social economy development projects carry out but not all the people selected to involve in the project. Those who are not selected do not receive anything generated from the projects.
