(Bintangor, 8th) Recently, the 11th Kampung Longhouse Harvest Festival event organized by the Maradong State Constituency Service Center was successfully held in 11 longhouses in Zone B Maradong.
This annual event aims to invite longhouse residents to celebrate the harvest festival and provide the community with an opportunity to meet leaders to express their voices and needs.
The event was officiated by Maradong State Assemblyman and Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Bintangor Branch Chairman Dato Chen Guanxun, accompanied by Secretary Lau Sih Sing, Treasurer Lee Ngin Soon, and Kapitan Wong Leh Hee.
In his speech, Dato Chen Guanxun expressed hope that such activities could be held annually, not only to enhance the connection between the government and the people but also to provide local residents opportunities to express their opinions and needs.
One of the needs raised by residents during the event was the renovation and repair of longhouses through the Sarawak Poor Family Housing Improvement Program (MRP-PPRMS).
He further pointed out that the Sarawak government, led by Dato Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari, is committed to promoting comprehensive development and improving the quality of life of the people.
In recent years, the government has implemented a series of welfare policies, including the Kenyalang Gold Card, Sarawak Essential Goods Assistance Scheme (SKAS), Sarawak Elderly Care Program (SCHB), Mother and Child Assistance Program (BIB), and Sarawak Children’s Fund (EFS).
In terms of education, he mentioned the Sarawak Higher Education Financial Aid Scheme (FTES), which aims to assist students studying at local institutions such as Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, Curtin University Malaysia, Sarawak University of Technology, and i-CATS University College.
Additionally, he urged the longhouse chiefs and residents to communicate with the state constituency service center before submitting applications to better coordinate and implement relevant needs.
