Ngang Kuja, Residents of Penan Long Tanyit
*Lost Contact for 8 Days Due to Road Broken, Rescued by NGO, Not Government Authorities*
Ngang Kuja reported that today marks 8 days since the Penan people in the Linau River (Murum State Assembly) have lost contact with the outside world - due to landslides, the road to the 5 Penan settlements in the Linau Belaga River is impassable.
The penan settlements affected are Lusong Laku, Long Kajang, Long Lidem, Long Abit and Long Tanyit. More than 1000 Penan residents live in this area. In this area there is also a school and a health clinic.
Ngang Kuja was wondering why there is no road repair work by the government. Thankfully today the road can be passed, and it is not from government and YBs, but was repaired by an NGO- ASAP MOTOR. This is a four-wheel drive vehicle club based in Bakun Sungai Asap.
He said that, the big problem for them penan in linau is the road of communication. The log road they use now is a log road built by Samling. This road has been abandoned because the logs have run out. The Shin Yang logging company operates in the upper reaches of the Linau river, but not through the penan village.
Ngang appeal to PMX and Premier Abang Johari, most importantly, give them paved roads, electricity supply, clean water and telecommunication. After this everything is there, provide them modern agriculture, clinics and schools. As now they are fully dependent on helicopter services when land roads are impassable. When he spoke to this RFS over 10 times the call was disconnected. In the afternoon - the Sarawak state wifi that they use will have no signal at all.
