IT WAS tears of joy for the Kerapa Spak longhouse community of 500 Ibans in Betong division when IBC Solar Teknik Sdn Bhd completed the installation of its Solar Hybrid System.
The system now provides a long-awaited electricity supply and telecommunications link for the villagers. The project was completed by IBC Solar as part of its corporate social responsibility towards Sarawakians. It was inspired by a call made by Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud to extend electrification to the interior.
