suppadmin | August 20, 2026

Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Ir Lo Khere Chiang will bring together various government agencies and local authorities for a community engagement and dialogue session with residents and businesses on Aug 22.

In a press conference today, Lo said the programme, to be held at 10am at Open University Malaysia (OUM) Kuching Branch, aims to provide a direct platform for the community to raise concerns and seek responses from the relevant agencies.

“This is about being closer to the people, listening to their concerns and working together to find practical solutions. We want residents and businesses to have a direct channel to communicate with the agencies responsible for these issues,” he said.

Among the agencies invited are the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), Kota Samarahan Municipal Council (MPKS), Sarawak Water and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).

Issues expected to be discussed include stormwater drainage and flooding, road damage and infrastructure maintenance, public safety, water supply interruptions, environmental hygiene and waste management.

Lo said the session would also provide an opportunity for residents to put forward other concerns and development proposals affecting their neighbourhoods.

“Every voice matters. The feedback, suggestions and questions from the people are important in shaping the development of our communities,” he said.
