SIBU: <\/strong>Newly appointed Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) president Sempurai Petrus and deputy president Robert Lau Hui Yew agree that SibuJaya is a very important township for the council.<\/p>\n

In a site visit to the township yesterday, both Petrus and Lau said they wanted to go to the ground to get a better idea of what was needed to make the township better for the people. The duo was accompanied by the council\u2019s engineer Goh Thiam Ho.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI have repeatedly said that fast-growing township such as SibuJaya and emerging township such as Selangau are very important to SRDC,\u201d Petrus said adding that this was due to high concentration of residents in the township.<\/p>\n

Petrus said he was glad to be working with Lau, whom he termed as his \u201cpartner in vision and mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Lau and I have mutual respect for each other and we share the same passion for people. We know that SibuJaya is important and we both want to do our best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Both Petrus and Lau came from Sacred Heart Secondary School. \u201cI guess being in an all boys\u2019 school enables you to relate to each other faster and better,\u201d Petrus said.<\/p>\n

On SibuJaya\u2019s development, Lau urges all parties not to be carried away by their respective agendas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is only one agenda as far as I am concerned. It is the orderly development of SibuJaya with the people\u2019s interest upheld at all times,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Top priorty for the team will be improving traffic flow to ease congestion at peak hours in the township, which shelters some 30,000 people.<\/p>\n

The team will also look into social needs of the Sibujaya residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Council to give greater attention to emerging townships<\/h1>\n

SIBU: Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) views Sibu Jaya as an important township, and wants to be directly involved in the people\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n

Newly appointed SRDC chairman Sempurai Petrus and deputy chairman Robert Lau Hui Yew, made an unannounced visit to this fast-growing township on Wednesday to get first-hand information on how to make the township more vibrant.<\/p>\n

The duo was accompanied by council engineer Goh Thiam Ho.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have repeatedly said that fast-growing townships like\u00a0Sibu Jaya and emerging\u00a0townships like Selangau are\u00a0very important to SRDC,\u201d Sempurai said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are large concentrations of people and as the local council directly involved in the people\u2019s well-being, we must be very\u00a0hands-on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

By being hands-on, SRDC would be in a better position to provide solutions to people\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

Sempurai said he was glad to be working with Lau whom he termed as his partner in vision and mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Robert and I have mutual respect for each other and we share a passion for helping people. We know that Sibu Jaya is important and we both want to do our best,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Both came from the same school \u2014 Sacred Heart Secondary School.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess being in an all-boys\u2019 school enables you to relate to\u00a0each other faster and better,\u201d Sempurai enthused.<\/p>\n

On Sibu Jaya\u2019s development, Lau highlighted the need for all parties to see the bigger picture and not to be carried away by their respective agendas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is only one agenda as far as I am concerned and that is the orderly development of SibuJaya with the people\u2019s\u00a0interest uppermost in our\u00a0agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Top on the list would be figuring out a traffic flow that would\u00a0help ease the congestion at peak hours in this township of some 30,000 people.<\/p>\n

Apart from that, the social needs of the people would also rank high in terms of SRDC\u2019s priorities for Sibu Jaya.<\/p>\n

Distrepark\u2019s Senior Manager Eddy Puah briefed the councillors on the township\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
