BAU, March 15: Puncak Borneo MP Datuk Willie Mongin has called for the setting up of a committee to specifically promote the Paku Rock Maze Garden internationally.
He said such a committee is vital as the place has a great potential to become a prime tourist destination.
“Next year will be Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2026, and I want this place (Paku Rock Maze Garden) to be among the prime tourist destinations.
“Therefore, I hope locals will set up a committee to promote the garden for the international market,” he said during a visit to see the completed upgrading at the site costing RM50,000.
According to Willie, the allocation was from the Sarawak Implementation Monitoring Unit (SIMU).
Willie pointed out that a proper signboard was also necessary while promoting the site through social media and organising social activities on weekends.
“For the Paku Rock Maze Garden, I will always assist in working with the tourism ministries at the federal and State levels,” he said.
Willie also pointed out that there were plenty of tourist destinations in the Puncak Borneo area that he would help to promote during VMY2026.
Acting Bau District Officer Eddy Nayoi, Temenggong Atok Derop, and community leaders were also present.
