"At the same time, as a representative of the Kadamaian people, I will also use the Assembly's allocation to repair or rebuild some facilities that were damaged due to wear and tear and natural disasters.

"The public facilities are like the suspension bridge which is the main use of the residents and farmers of this village, the repair of the dilapidated school pavilion and the buillding concretes on part of Kg Lingkubang's road leading to the main road," he said.

He said this when met by reporters after officiating the 4th Annual General Meeting of the Tagal Kampung Lingkubang Kota Belud Berhad Tourism Cooperative, here, today.
