KOTA SAMARAHAN: The predominantly Bumiputra-populated Kota Samarahan will see more development in the near future.
Assistant Youth and Housing Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said looking at the rapid development of the town, particularly Taman Desa Ilmu with its rising population, the state government would look into further developing the area.
“This (Taman Desa Ilmu) being an education hub, there will be a lot of students here also with various needs.
“That is why businesses, population and other economic activities here are booming, which in turn improves the socio-economic status of this place, which once were only pockets of small and remote villages,” said Karim during a Hari Raya celebration organised by Taman Desa Ilmu Development and Security Committee (JKKK) and Sarawak Bumiputra Chamber of Commerce (DUBS) Kota Samarahan branch on Monday.
With this in mind, Karim said in his capacity as an assistant minister, he would forward to the government the current needs of Taman Desa Ilmu folk, namely a multi-purpose hall, a police station and a futsal court there.
The proposal was highlighted by Taman Desa Ilmu JKKK chairman and the event’s organising chairman Abang Ideris Abang Jemali earlier in his welcoming speech.
Ideris said there was a need to build a multi-purpose hall to hold events such as the Raya celebration itself, which was held in the parking lot of a shoplot.
Kota Samarahan DUBS chairman Ismawi Muhammad, meanwhile, called on the organisation to hold more active economic events and activities in Taman Desa Ilmu.
He proposed collaborations between DUBS and Koperasi Usahawan Bumiputra Sarawak Bhd for talks or seminars on entrepreneurship.
