SERIAN: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has assured the people that the Barisan Nasional government is listening to them. The Prime Minister said that through the past elections, the people’s desire to see change in the government had been acknowledged and this was what the Barisan had been working on.
“During the last (2008) election, the people gave us a message. It is not that they rejected us but they want us to change.
“The people still have confidence in Barisan but they want us to be brave to reform and transform so that whatever it is we are doing, they will benefit from it,” he said when launching the Sejiwa Senada programme for the Samarahan Division here yesterday.
Addressing some 10,000 people, mostly from the Bidayuh community, Najib said Barisan was steadfast in strengthening ties between the states in order to have 1People, 1Nation with 1Vision.
He reiterated that the Federal Government fully supported the Sarawak government and the presence of three Umno vice-presidents – Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal and Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi – at the event proves this.
Najib then approved projects worth over RM300mil for the Serian people.
These projects comprised RM105mil water supply projects to benefit 2,910 houses in Tebedu, RM116.5mil to upgrade and improve water supply in Serian as a whole, RM18.7mil rural electrification scheme to connect 408 houses, RM120,000 to air condition the community hall here, RM60mil to build the Munggu Kopi road and RM30mil for the Terbat-Mapu road.
He also approved RM12.5mil to build a clinic in Padawan.
He later presented 100 well-deserving students with an incentive of RM500 each.
