KUCHING: Santubong MP Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar is confident that his constituency will continue to receive development projects if he remains as its MP after the next general election.
The deputy speaker of parliament said he had many plans to transform the constituency through the implementation of various on-going and future projects.
“Yes, I have many plans for Santubong but I can only realize them if I were re-elected.”
He told reporters this after inspecting the on-going beautification and embankment project at Kampung Buntal near here yesterday.
He said among areas that were currently being developed were Kampung Buntal, Kampung Santubong, Sematan and Lundu.
Wan Junaidi added that as far as Kampung Buntal was concerned the village would be among the many tourist destinations in the area once the on-going beautification project was completed.
He said the government was initially thinking of putting up the embankment to protect the village from being washed away by the sea but later on there was a proposal to also develop a proper waterfront in the village.
The 800-metre Buntal waterfront is expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year. With this, Buntal would be transformed into a centre for seafood restaurants in the city.
Wan Junaidi said the Tourism Ministry had allocated RM4.5 million to construct a concrete walkwayinthe village, complete with kiosks and pavilions for the villagers to carry out some business activities.
Apart from Buntal, similar projects would be implemented in Lundu and Sematan pending an additional allocation from the Tourism Ministry, he added.
“For Lundu we have requested for an additional RM7 million and Sematan another RM6 million. They already received RM3 million for building the embankment and drainage system,” he said.
Among those who accompanied Wan Junaidi to Buntal yesterday were Kuching City North Commission (DBKU) deputy director Mohamed Khaide Abang and the project contractors.
