REP: Only long-time resident will get TOL
MIRI: Residents of Kampung Senadin Jaya who have been living in the village for a long time will be given priority in getting the Temporary Occupation Licence ( TOL) lots.
This was disclosed by Piasau assemblyman Datuk Sebastian Ting, who stressed that the Land and Survey Department would not give the empty lots at the village to families who had just settled there.
“Empty lots must be given to residents living for many years in Kampung Senadin Jaya,” Ting said at the opening of ‘ Karnival Sehati Sejiwa Bersama Pemimpin’ at Kampung Senadin Jaya yesterday.

Empty lots must be given to residents living for many years in Kampung Senadin Jaya. Datuk Sebastian Ting, Piasau assemblyman
Lutong and Kampung Piasau Utara, were also present.
Ting was responding to the remark by Kampung Senadin Jaya village chief that there were villagers who had not been issued with lots and were still waiting for Land and Survey Department to issue them offer letters.
He assured that he would press for those eligible to receive their TOL lots.
For those without stable income and could not afford to build their own houses, he advised them to apply for Rumah Mesra Rakyat ( RMR) which cost around RM50,000 per unit.
He said they only had to pay RM150 monthly.
“Forms are available from SUPP Piasau office and villagers can get them from the officer there,’ he said.
On the infrastructure at Kampung Senadin Jaya, the assemblyman said he had gone to the ground and found it wanting, especially the roads linking the houses.
He noted that the village had an access road, electricity and water supply but assured them further that he would continue to assist them in getting other infrastructures from time to time.
Meanwhile, the carnival hosted many activities – among them were Zumba session, karaoke competition, children’s traditional costume competition and lucky draws. Stalls selling clothing, food and drinks were also set up.
Later, Ting announced a Minor Rural Project ( MRP) grant of RM5,000 each to Kampung Senadin Jaya security and development committee and Surau Kampung Senadin.
