MARUDI: Baram MP Anyi Ngau is appealing to the concerned authority to add another two channellin­g points at the solarhybri­d power station, which caters to two longhouses in the Upper Baram.

According to him, the present two points lack the sufficienc­y in supplying electricit­y to Rumah Long Bemang in Apoh and Rumah Long Silat in Apoh Baram.

“This is my proposal, which I hope would be reviewed and studied thoroughly,” he spoke at the start of a work party programme

at Long Bemang recently, where he was joined by Telang usan assemblyma­n Dennis Ngau.

Adding on, Anyi also reminded the longhouse folk to always place safety and precaution first when it comes to electricit­y.

“There are some of us who are very careless and cannot be bothered with all the little things when it comes to using electricit­y.

This must not be the case – safety must come first.

“We do not want to hear more about fires that strike longhouses due to carelessne­ss,” he stressed.

Later, Anyi announced the approval of a RM10,000 allocation to the Long Bemang village security and developmen­t committee to buy ‘ Kayu Anyi’ saplings along with fertiliser­s.

It is learnt that the ‘Kayu Anyi’ trees could be fashioned into ‘bonsai’ ornamental plants.
