KUCHING, April 29: Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap Yau Sin, together with village chief Shaari Mohidi, recently conducted a final inspection of important repair works aimed at enhancing the living conditions of a physically handicapped individual residing at Lorong 1, Kampung Stutong Melayu, Stampin Resettlement Scheme.
A press release from Yap states that RM15,000 has been allocated for repair and construction works in N12 Kota Sentosa. These works include a 70-foot-long wheelchair-accessible footpath, a front awning and repairs to the toilet and other general areas.
The repairs of the toilet, construction works of the footpath, and other general repairs were completed through a ‘gotong-royong’ by volunteers from the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) Kampung Stutong Melayu.
“Recognising the urgency and pressing nature of the problem, Yap, with the assistance of Shaari, immediately took the initiative to assist the physically handicapped individual by constructing a wheelchair-friendly footpath and repairing his toilet, among other general repairs to his home.
“During the final inspection, Yap was not satisfied with the toilet repairs and requested Sahari to carry out further work on the toilet.
“He also thanked Shaari Mahidi for organising the gotong-royong, as well as all of the volunteers who took part and contributed their time and effort to the event, which demonstrates unity, resilience, compassion, and care by assisting the less fortunate,” read the press release.
PPRMS is a Sarawak government assistance programme of up to RM15,000 to help those who live below the poverty line or come from low-income groups by providing basic facilities and a comfortable residence, giving them new hope for a better quality of life.
“Yap is always concerned about the well-being and welfare of the people in his constituency of Kota Sentosa, and he is always willing to lend a helping hand to the poor who live in N12 Sentosa.
“Those who require house repair assistance under PPRMS can contact community leaders in his constituency of N12 Kota Sentosa for more information or apply directly at his service centre at E-2-25, 2nd Floor, Gala Street Mall, Gala City, Jalan Tun Jugah, Kempas Heights, 93350 Kuching,” the press statement noted. — DayakDaily
