Penan Talun longhouse, Sg. Koyan Asap.
The Sg. Asap Resettlement Scheme residents will wake up to the ‘rude’ reality of so called ‘development’ as promised to them almost a decade ago on December 16.
By then, almost 2000 peoples in the area will have no water running through their taps as the government has decided to disconnect water supply to these folks’ homes over accumulating unpaid bills.
Bintulu Public Works Department’s water supply division said they have to disconnect the water supply to some of the longhouses as they owed the state government a total sum of RM2 million. The arrears date back to 1998, the year when the residents first moved in.
“We have to take action, otherwise the bills will continue accumulating,” Bernama reported department’s divisional engineer, Goh Soon Boon as saying on Monday.
So far, he said he had not received any appeal over the department’s decision to disconnect the water supply, from either the residents or their leaders.
Goh said his department had made arrangements for the people in the scheme to settle their bills with the SESCO (Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation) office in the area, instead of them having to drive to Bintulu, about 75km away.

"So far, he said he had not received any appeal over the department’s decision to disconnect the water supply, from either the residents or their leaders."
I just wondering they know how to appeal. That's suck ! Unbelievable it's happened in Malaysia ! Where is their MP ? Do you think those villages know how to appeal ? If they know so much, they won't vote BN as their representative ! What a crap !
Why always bully them ? What they owed only less than 1% of "white hair"'s monthly income !
Enough is enough!
Look, election is coming and it about time for Sarawakian and Sabahan join together stamped down the corrupt government.
It about time for us to open our eyes and see what other primitive people in NZ, Australia, US and Canada, been treated.
