The recent flooding in the Lawas/Limbang area has affected many families in the Lower Trusan area. Lawas PKR branch distributed supplies donated by branch chairperson Baru Bian to 93 families in Long Temarub, Long Tukon, Tang Lipi, Berayung Baru, Bang Anggo and Luagan Kelilang yesterday and today.

Deputy chairperson Charles Labung led a group of members including branch secretary James Taie, Wanita Secretary Sawe Ukab, and members Oliver Berangad Pagang, Edwin Taie, and Libat Taie to bring much-needed supplies of rice, sugar, instant noodles and coffee/tea to help the villagers who are cleaning their homes and counting their losses.

In Long Tukon, the flood waters reached a height of 1.3m in some houses, while in Long Temarub, the taps had run dry so the villagers were not able to clean their houses. It is hoped that the authorities will look into this.
