In a meeting with the residents of Baram, YB Dennis said - he, Datu Gerawat Gala Mulu assemblyman, YB Datu Pengguang Marudi assemblyman and member of Parliament Anyie Ngau receive dozens of complaints every day from Baram residents related to the problem of damaged roads, landslides, broken bridges and various other things. road problems in Baram. So the government took an experimental approach to appoint the famous conglomerate company Samling, Double Dynasty Group and BHT Interprise Marudi to repair and maintain the log roads in Baram, and they will be paid by the Sarawak government. According to Dominic- all Baram residents are happy when the road is repaired. But pouring millions of dollars into improving and maintaining log roads is a futile effort. The government should start building paved roads to rural areas. Although it is a little late, but the effect will be better. The road is well prepared and can be used for a long period of time. Another question is why a logging company was given a multi-million ringgit contract. We the people of Baram question where the money from the Forest Concession Fund that was established 40 years ago is going, which is said to collect money from logging for the purpose of building roads and progress for rural residents. When the logging company first wanted to enter our village of Long Tungan in 1994. They persuaded us that the logging company would contribute RM1 for every 1 ton of logs cut down and put into the fund. Now use the money from this fund to build roads to the interior of Sarawak. Now we demand that YBYB GPS ask in the Sarawak state assembly conference, where does the forest concession trust fund money go? -----------
