Pulau Banggi villagers grateful for quality of life upgrades


KOTA KINABALU: Safer conditions, a more conducive environment in which to study and being able to work after dark are among the benefits to some 700 villagers from Kampung Dogoton, Kampung Semayan and Kampung Rahmat in Pulau Banggi, Kudat since solar energy came to their homes last year.

The improvement in quality of life for these communities was highlighted during a recent event on the island as part of PETRONAS' 50th-anniversary activities honouring significant locations and events in the oil and gas company’s legacy.
