The Sungai Baong cemetery project carries an allocation of RM100,000, while the Kuala Baram Batu 1 project is allocated RM80,000, mainly involving upgrading and improvement works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his visit to Kuala Baram Batu 1, Ting highlighted two urgent priorities. The first is the construction of a caretaker\u2019s house to store equipment and allow personnel to be stationed on site. He said residents had raised concerns over theft of stored items, making it necessary to improve security and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe second priority is to upgrade electricity-related facilities, including repairs and basic electrical installations, to ensure smooth operations at the site,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, during his inspection at the Sungai Baong cemetery, Ting noted that a building estimated to be about 20 years old was in poor condition, with its structure severely damaged by termite infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe condition of the building is quite serious and requires repair or rebuilding,\u201d he said, adding that lighting at the site is also inadequate, particularly in the early morning hours, posing safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccording to feedback, there are people entering the area as early as 3am, but the lack of lighting creates safety risks. Improving the lighting system is therefore a priority,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ting said engineering teams and relevant officers will conduct further assessments on site and propose appropriate solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed that these projects are among the key community development initiatives, and the government will continue to implement RTP projects to improve infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34651\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:759px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_015.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34652\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:759px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Datuk_Sebastian_016.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Piasau assemblyman Datuk Sebastian Ting said the government will continue to enhance infrastructure through the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) to ensure safer and better maintained community environments.
