These were the complains by the villagers who were at the TAMU BESAR LAWAS, to sell their produce. Many of them travelled from Bekalalan, Long Semadi which is at least 4hours of off road ride of very bad timber roads.

On a normal travelling stint to trade in the TAMU BESAR, many would spend up to RM100 one-way from the remote village to Lawas town to trade and sell their produce. Many complained that a lot of their harvest would never reach the town because of high transportation costs.

Many of the villagers complained that even upon visiting the Lawas Hospital, many have to spend extra hundred ringgit to travel to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah – Queen Elizabeth Hospital for complicated cases. Critical & surgical cases have to be referred to QEH because of shorter distance instead travelling to Limbang via Brunei or 2000km to Kuching. Conditions like these does not augur well with PM's slogan Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan.

Many villagers felt that there were impoverished because of additional financial burden due to very poor road infrastructure and basic amenities. This is what we deserve after 47 years of independence while our BN representatives lives in palaces and in luxurious lifestyle.

Lawas and Limbang Division being separated by two regions of Brunei has a population of approximately 49,000 consisting of Chinese, Orang Ulu Malay, Kedayan, Murut Tagal & Iban.

This was disclosed to PKR Candidate N70 Bekalalan Sdr Baru Bian –lawyer NCR activist and PKR Candidate N71 Bukit Sari Sdr Hj Japar Suyut who was accompanied by PKR Central Supreme Council Member – Dr Roland Chia Ming Shen during their visit to the TAMU BESAR LAWAS.
