Meanwhile, Daro assemblyman Safiee Ahmad thanked the Sarawak government and more so the Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg for approving the construction of the Muara Lassa Bridge.

He said the bridge will be a ‘gamechanger’ by bringing development and economic opportunities to the people of this area. The people, however, need to be ready to embrace this latest progress by making full use of the conveniences provided by the government to generate more household income.

Also present were Sarawak Public Works Department Mukah Division Engineer Talip Jarni, Daro District Officer Bujang Rahman Seli and MIPD officials. — DayakDaily
