DALAT (Aug 8): Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah visited several key development project sites in and around Dalat yesterday to monitor each project's progress and ensure they meet the needs of the local community.
The Dalat assemblywoman began her tour at the Sarawak Centre of Technical Excellence (Centexs) Dalat campus, envisioned as a major hub for technical and vocational training in rural areas.
The facility aims to expand educational and skills opportunities, particularly for youth, to equip them with better career prospects.
Fatimah then inspected the Dalat Organic Fertiliser Processing Centre in Teparok, an initiative to promote sustainable agriculture. The centre will convert agricultural waste from the area into high-quality organic fertiliser, helping farmers improve productivity while protecting the environment.
Her working visit continued with inspections of several projects under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP), aimed at strengthening basic infrastructure, improving public safety, and raising the overall quality of life in rural communities.
Among the projects was the construction of a protective embankment at SK Kut Tengah, designed to mitigate erosion and flooding risks that have long threatened the safety of pupils and teachers.
She also visited the Phase 1 Muara Sungai Ud embankment project, expected to provide significant protection for residents during the rainy season and high tide periods.
Accompanying Fatimah were Sarawak Deputy State Secretary (Administration) Datu Buckland Bangik, Mukah Division Resident Datu Kueh Lei Poh, and Dalat District Officer Mathew Hubert. centex community Dalat development projects fatimah abdullah
