Penduduk Menagih Janji Wakil Rakyat Untuk Bina Benteng Sungai

MIRI - Pembinaan tembok banjir dan benteng telah menjadi cara tradisional untuk melindungi dan infrastruktur terhadap banjir bagi penduduk yang tinggal di kawasan rendah.

Sering terjadi apabila hujan turun lebat dan berterusan selama berjam-jam akan terjadinya banjir kilat di kawasan yang rendah dan tebing sungai.

Masalah banjir kilat dan tiada benteng halangan di tebing Sungai Bakam menyebabkan rumah penduduk yang berdekatan dengan tebing sungai hampir roboh akibat air banjir dan hakisan tanah.

Baru-baru ini berlaku banjir kilat di tebing Sungai Bakam yang menyebabkan rumah penduduk kampung yang tinggal di tebing sungai itu hampir roboh akibat air deras dan tiada benteng di tebing sungai itu.

Menurut penduduk kampung, Mariam Raup dan Fatimah Amit yang menjadi mangsa banjir kilat di tebing Sungai Bakam berkata “Dulu ada YB datang berjanji untuk membina benteng sungai dan membantu mereka membina semula dapur mereka yang semakin usang tetapi sehingga kini tiada sebarang tindakan diambil."

Mereka menuntut janji wakil rakyat tersebut agar projek pembinaan benteng tebing Sungai Bakam
perlu disegerakan. Mereka juga menuntut agar masalah dapur mereka yang hampir roboh itu juga perlu dibina semula.

Kita mengesa pihak berwajib dan mereka yang berkenaan agar segera selesaikan masalah ini. Kerjasama dengan pihak yang berwajib untuk membina benteng sungai dan membina semula dapur penduduk kampung yang terjejas itu dapat segera dilaksanakan.

MIRI - Constructions of flood walls and embankments have been the traditional way to protect and the infrastructure against flooding for the population who live in the low area.

It often happens when it rains heavily and continued for hours the occurrence of flash floods in low areas and along river banks. Flash floods and no fortress barrier on the river banks of Bakam River causing the houses near the river bank almost collapsed from the flooding and soil erosion.

Recent flash floods on the banks of Bakam River that had caused the villagers houses, who live on the river banks, nearly collapsed as a result of torrent and no embankment on the river banks.

According to the villagers, Mariam Raup and Fatimah Amit who are victims of flash floods on the banks of Bakam River said "There used to come YB promise to build the embankment of the river and help them rebuild their kitchen that is increasingly obsolete, but so far no action has been taken."

They demanded the elected representatives promise that the construction of Bakam River embankments need expedited. They also demanded that their kitchen problems that the ramshackle also need to be rebuilt.

We urge the authorities and those concerned to immediately solve this problem. Cooperation with the authorities to build a river embankment and rebuild the kitchen of the affected villagers can be immediately implemented.
