Julau MP does not regret joining Perikatan, cites numerous approved projects

SIBU: Julau MP Larry Sng (pic) says he was right to join Perikatan Nasional five months ago.

Sng said, in a Facebook post Saturday (Aug 7), that since he joined Perikatan Nasional, several of the projects he applied for were approved and benefited the people of Julau.

He said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had recently approved his application for the construction and repair of concrete roads in the Pakan and Julau districts costing RM2mil.

"I am very grateful that the government is now concerned and has contributed to the Julau parliamentary constituency.

"A few months ago, Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin also approved two projects for Julau involving a cost of RM1.8mil for the purpose of repairing the Julau Waterfront and Pakan Car Park," he added.

Additionally, the minister had also approved the proposed construction of a Class E Fire Station in Julau with an estimated cost of between RM2mil to RM3mil.

Touching on Covid-19 vaccinations, Sng said the vaccination rate in Julau was very high.

"I would like to state that the vaccination programme in the Julau parliamentary constituency has won first place in Sarawak.

"The vaccine reception in the Julau area is very good and more than 70% of the people aged 18 and above have received the vaccine," he said.

In the 14th General Election, Sng won the Julau parliamentary seat as an Independent candidate. He later joined PKR after the Pakatan Harapan government was formed. Sng, who was also Sarawak PKR chairman, left the party on Feb 28, declaring his full support for Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Perikatan Nasional government.
