Civic centre praised for holding Majlis Ngiling Bidai
KAPIT: Pelagus assemblyman Wilson Nyabong Ijang gave the thumbs-up to the management of Kapit Civic Centre for organising a Majlis Ngiling Bidai at Kapit Civic Centre and inviting the heads of departments and community leaders to attend.
“I laud the management of Kapit Civic Centre for organising the Majlis Ngiling Bidai at the Kapit Civic Centre and inviting heads of departments and community leaders to attend. Tonight with us some 200 guests from many races - not only Dayaks, but Chinese and Malays are invited. This is good to promote close inter-racial relationship and popularise the civic centre as a venue to host activities,” said Nyabong.
“I would like more activities whether big or small to be held at the civic centre. Here we have the facilities, the hall and the conference room for meeting, workshop, etc. With the activities come the revenue. The government built the civic centre for local needs and I hope its departments and communities made full use of it,” Nyabong said when officiating at the Majlis Ngiling Bidai Dewan Suarah Kapit last Thursday evening.
“Councillor Bakat Gira was only appointed manager here six months ago but he has proven his ability to organise the function,” he said.
Present were Bukit Mabong District Officer Douglas Pungga, administrative officer from Kapit Resident’s Office Wee Tat Ming, Kapit Officer from Fire and Safety Department Irwandy Tugor, Kapit Civic Centre manager Councillor Bakat Gira, Deputy Walikota of Kapit District Council Lawrence Listen, Temenggong Wilfred Billy Panyau, Temenggong Tan Kian Hoo, Pemanca Yong thu Fook, Pemanca Enggin Nyipa, Pemanca David Dian, Penghulu Steward Sawing, Penghulu Sia Shui Poh. Penghulu Undie Bajai, Penghulu Sallang Batang and Penghulu Wong KieIng
