RTP-funded works on Kpg Stampin Iban Baru hall reach completion

The community hall of Kampung Stampin Iban Baru here has been handed back to the village security and development community (JKKK) following the successful completion of upgrading and repair works.

This project was made possible through the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) funding of RM100,000 from Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap.

The contract covered the construction of a kitchen, toilets, a storeroom and some general repairs.

Yap, along with officers from the Public Works Department (JKR), the implementing agency, were present at Kampung Stampin Iban Baru in the Stampin Resettlement Scheme yesterday for the official handing-over of the hall to the JKKK.

The villagers had previously sought assistance from Yap, as their community hall lacked essential facilities such as toilets, kitchen and storage room.

In his brief speech, Yap expressed gratitude to the JKR and the contractor for completing the works on schedule.

He also called upon the residents to support the present state government led by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

“This commitment is crucial to ensuring Sarawak would stay on course towards achieving the goals of economic prosperity, social inclusivity and sustainability outlined in Sarawak’s Post Covid19 Development Strategy 2030,” he said.

Yap also said he would remain committed to securing more state development funds to improve the neglected infrastructures in Kota Sentosa constituency, so as to uplift the standard of living and improve the quality of life of all the communities.

Also present were Kampung Stampin Iban Baru JKKK members Penghulu Jakup Buan and Tuai Rumah Christopher Chaong.
