KUCHING, Oct 28: The recreational park at Lorong Batu Kawa 1C3 Sunny Hill Garden will be given a facelift for its residents.
Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang hoped that with the new facelift, the park will attract more residents to visit it not just to exercise but also to relax and socialise.
“The park will have new footpaths for people to jog, six cement benches, 14 solar lamps, three new gym sets, an upgraded gazebo, rubber tile flooring as well as upgraded and new drains.
“The overall cost is RM150,000 and it will be carried out under my Rural Transformation Project (RTP) fund,” he said after he handed over the contract papers during his site visit today.
Lo, who is also Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman said the project work had started today and is expected to be completed within four months, or by the end of February 2023.
Explaining the reason behind the park’s facelift, Lo said it was earlier requested by the residents around the area.
“I want everyone to know that I am not a magician nor do I have billions. I cannot fulfill everyone’s wishes overnight, but what I can do is grant them in stages. We will slowly improve one recreational park after another.
“We assemblymen get a RM5 million RTP fund per year from our Sarawak government under Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) therefore on my side, they are meant for the whole of Batu Kitang constituency,” Lo added. — DayakDaily
