Children walk two hours to school
By Philip Kiew
Source: Borneo PostMIRI: They have to walk two hours to school; starting at 4am and returning home at 4pm for lunch in an unbelievably hard life and heartbreaking thirst for education.
Resilient Christopher, seven, and elder sister Jeniffer, 10, have to wake up at 3am every schooling day and start walking an hour later in darkness to daylight for 20km, to reach SRK Pujut Corner. Mother Hu Bee Chu accompanies them all the way in a heart-wrenching story of tough life.
Tucked in the farmhouse, nearly 18km from the junction of Miri bypass road near the water gate of the Drainage and Irrigation Department, these two slender children have been walking to school since they first stepped into a preschool classroom.
Need to do a touch up on this photo. Anyone have any link to Adobe Photoshop tutorial?

Note: Chu ak Chundie, tauka Inik Uban tu mih indu ke tau nakar, tau engkebang. Pua kumbu ka dirintai ba belakang sida nya ditenun iya empu.
Tu cherita penatai kami di menoa Ulu Krian lebih ari seratus limapuluh taun menya. Cherita tu ditampung ari aki inik kami ke benama Doo ak Kantan.. tu munyi cherita iya..
Beserambau enggau taun ti keterubah Rajah James Brooke merintah menoa Sarawak dalam taun 1841, Doo ak Kantan, siko tuai Iban ke datai ari Paku, Saribas, mai bala iya pindah ngiga menoa ke baru serta lantang endor ngidup ke diri.
Doo ak Kantan ngiring bala iya pindah ari menoa ke di kumbai Nanga Tiang, ari ulu Samu di Batang Paku. Sida Doo maia nya bumai ba menoa ke di kumbai Temawai Tampak Panas, seberai Rumah Begat di Penom, Paku ke diatu.
Bala anembiak Doo ak Kantan semina diau di Temawai Tampak Panas pengelama tujuh taun aja, ari taun 1841-1848.
Pindah ari Temawai Tampak Panas, Doo lalu mai bala iya ngulu Sungai Paku, melunggang ke Bukit Medang serta terengkah di menoa Ulu Krian. Bala Doo terubah datai di menoa Ulu Krian dalam taun 1848 lalu ngentak ka rumah panjai sida ba Lubok Menoa.
Berapa taun udah lepas nya, rumah sida pan nyu ga udah jaik, lalu sida Doo pan lalu angkat pindah ari nya. Sida iya pindah, berumah panjai baru ba endor ke dikumbai Temawai Nyatu.
Angkat ari Temawai Nyatu, sida niri ka rumah baru ba kandang endor ke dikumbai Temawai Sungai Jawah, enda jauh ari Rumah Jawi, Nanga Awas, kediatu. Maia sida Doo ke diau di Temawai Sungai Jawah tu mih iya mati. Udah Doo ke mati, iya diganti anak iya ke benama Chunggat ak Doo, nyadi Tuai Rumah dalam taun 1888.
Ketegal laban perengka ramu ti dikena berumah dulu menya enda baka ke kemaia hari tu, dia deh rumah enda tentu tegap serta jampat endar jaik. Maia nya, sida Chunggat semina ngena kayu ke enda tan serta beratap ka daun kenulang, daun senggang enggau daun kering. Maia tu, bala kitai Iban di Ulu Krian apin bisi betanam ke mulong, ke tau dikena nyadika atap rumah. Maia tu mega, buluh perin dikena ngaga gelegar serta bedinding ke kulit kayu. Ketegal ke rumah jampat jaik, Tuai Rumah Chunggat suah bendar mai anembiak iya berumah baru.
Angkat sida Chunggat ari Temawai Sungai Jawah, sida iya pindah lalu berumah baru ba endor ke dikumbai Temawai Raong.
Ari Temawai Raong, Chunggat mai bala anembiak iya pindah serta berumah baru ba endor ke dikumbai Temawai Emperan. Udah berapa taun udah lepas kediau ba Temawai Emperan, Chunggat lalu mai anembiak iya ngaga rumah panjai ke tegap agi serta ngena kayu tras (tebelian). Enggau aum serta ati ke sama setuju, dia deh sida Chunggat serumah lalu belaboh ngentak ka rumah baru sida dalam taun 1930 ba endor rumah panjai Ulu Krian ke diatu, lalu rumah panjai nya bedau mengkang bediri nyentok ka searitu.
This is the latest reply I received from Talikhidmat Center on my recent complaint. The Center gave me three days to reply to the email about the service or it will be considered CLOSED.
I assume the three days is for me to verify on the service by Talikhidmat. And, on the actual work perform by the relevant section (what/which section?), is yet to be known of when it will be done.
And, the obvious thing is, if I do not reply in three days, the case is considered CLOSED and SOLVED!!! Malaysia Boleh! KPI good good ehh..

We visited the location this morning and nothing have been done. The hole is getting bigger with metal wires protruding out, which is a danger to children in the area. How can we be satisfy if it’s only a reply on email and the actual physical work has not been carried out.
And, the case is considered as SOLVED by a computer application?
