After months of fund raising drive, the Dayak Memorial Park should be ready by mid-June. With a minimum fees of RM2,000 (for adult) and RM1,000 (for children), it is indeed a reliever for the Dayak community in Miri who has been facing with problem burying their beloved ones.

Jamesjg.com was informed by YB Datuk Patinggi Jabu that his ministry has submitted a RM17million proposal under NKRA to upgrade the road leading to the various cemeteries at Lambir in Miri.
Once approved, we hope it will be immediately implemented this year (2010).
We have earlier highlighted this road and we are happy to note that our State ministers and MPs has made a few site visit to this area.
RumahDayak.com and its members visited the Scully children yesterday morning. The visit was made to hand over building material for the Scully to replace their wall and to build a toilet. Other kitchen items were also given away.
The simple ceremony was witness by YB Aidan Wing, who is also the ADUN for Lambir, and Stephen Dinggai, who represented the C12 Golfers’ Group.
The charity drive managed to collect over RM3,000 for the purchase of various building material and other items. RumahDayak.com would like to thank all the members who have generously donated to our drive to build a home for the homeless Scully children in Lambir. Heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Methodist and SIB churches who have render their assistance to the family concern. Special thanks also goes to YB Aidan Wing, YB Andy Chia, Stephen Dinggai (C12 Golfers), Vernon Kedit, John Nelson and his ACERGY Crews, Pemancha Wilson Siang Lim, and semua bala nembiak Tr. Linggie Blaja who have gave us the needed support to make this drive a success.
Seen above, I took the opportunity to brief our YB Aidan Wing on RumahDayak.com’s various community services that has been done in the past. We are happy to be able to work with the various government agencies in addressing the rakyat’s problem.
RumahDayak.com welcomes the government initiative to transform Lambir into a new residential and commercial centre under Urban Renewal Centre project. I was informed by YB Aidan that the government will be upgrading the Lambir road leading to the Lambir cemeteries, and the road will also link Lambir with Kampong Lusut, as well as nearby Taman Tunku and Taman Jelita. The upgrading work cost RM16 million and will be implement soon.
A new stadium will also be constructed and it will supplement Lambir being one of the urban renewal centre.
YB Aidan also told me that the government will be constructing a tamu at Kampung Lusut and also a mini “rumah asap” for the panggang lovers… With the construction of this tamu, it will stimulate the economic status of the surrounding areas and especially for the resident of Kg. Lusut, where they can sell their jungle product and fruits.
RumahDayak.com members are committed to assist the various agencies in addressing the rakyat’s problem.
First, the not so good news.. The proposal to upgrade the road leading to the various cemeteries in Lambir was not submitted by our District Office to the ICU unit of the Prime Minister’s Dept. Nevertheless, the District Office gave assurance that they do have a budget for the proposal. YB Ahmad Lai will follow up with the District Officer.
The proposal for a second link road from Taman Tunku/Taman Jelita to the main road/Airport Road is already in YB Ahmad Lai’s office and is under review.
Soon the residents of Taman Tunku will enjoy the “almost free” medical services near their doorstep with the opening of Klinik 1Malaysia next to a gif shop or nearby Submarine 3. The opening of the clinic is indeed a relief to the growing population of Miri, especially those coming from Taman Tunku, Upper Riam and Lambir.
Thank you to YB Ahmad Lai and Lukanisman Awang Sauni for the action and update to jamesjg.com and the residents of Taman Tunku/Taman Jelita.
