KAPIT: Rumah Midin Saong at Sungai Pelajau, Bukit Goram is now ready to construct new units for eight families following the completion of a riverbank earth filling and levelling project.

During a site inspection by Bukit Goram assemblyman Jefferson Jamit Unyat yesterday, assistant headman Aren Mawin said the 28-door longhouse was previously unable to build the new units because of the terrain.

“With your help, now this piece of land has been levelled so eight families would be able to construct their houses here,” Aren explained.

Jamit called on the longhouse folk to discuss the building plans with the village security and development committee (JKKK).

“Discuss how best to design the houses yet to be built to ensure a proper setting.

“This is important so that there is enough open space for parking and open ground with proper landscaping,” he suggested.
