[BERITA UTAMA]
Tahun 2015 Empangan Murum siap dibina. Kaum Penan Murum dipindahkan ke 2 tempat penempatan semula iaitu Tegulang dan Metalun. Kedua-dua tempat ini tiada sekolah dan tiada klinik kesihatan. Anak Penan diminta bersekolah dibangunan usang yang ditinggalkan oleh kontraktor pembinaan empangan.
Menanti dengan penuh harapan selama 6 tahun. Pada tahun 2021 Dermaga Makmur Sdn.Bhd diberi kontrak RM36.9 juta untuk membina sekolah rendah SK Metalun (Dalam Kawasan penempatan penan). Tetapi sehingga semalam dilaporkan hanya 30.11 peratus sahaja kemajuan fizikal pembinaan sekolah ini. Pihak kontraktor memberi alasan- antara sebab kegagalan menyiapkan projek sekolah ini ialah. Syarikat Pembalakan Shin Yang mengenakan tol RM100 hingga RM700 setiap kali mereka melalui jalan syarikat pembalakan itu. (Hanya jalan balak Shin Yang) yang menghubungkan Kawasan metalun dengan dunia luar.
Persoalan kami di RFS, kenapa syarikat ini terlalu berkuasa. Kenapa kerajaan yang mendapat banyak untung membina empangan – tidak membina jalan ke Kawasan penempatan penan. Kenapa sekolah tidak dibina bersekali dengan pakej perpindahan penan Murum. Kenapa wakil rakyat atau Menteri tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah dengan syarikat pembalakan ini. Kalau benar ada masalah- bolehkan GPS/Premier Sarawak membatalkan lessen pembalakan untuk syarikat ini.Ini semua menunjukkan ketidakcekapan kerajaan dan agensi yang terlibat. Suatu masa- Ahli Parlimen Hulu Rajang YB Billy Abit Joo pernah ditahan oleh pekerja syarikat pembalakan Shin Yang dan tak dibenarkan melalui jalan syarikat pembalakan terbabit- semasa beliau dalam perjalanan melawat penempatan Penan Murum. Rumusannya melihat kepada kes di Ba Abang dan kes di Metalun. Memperlihatkan bahawa syarikat pembalakan adalah Raja di Rimba Sarawak.
[TOP STORY]
In 2015 Murum Dam was completed. The Penan Murum were moved to 2 resettlement places namely Tegulang and Metalun. These two places have no schools and no health clinics. Penan children are asked to attend schools in dilapidated buildings abandoned by dam construction contractors.
Waiting with hope for 6 years. In 2021 Dermaga Makmur Sdn.Bhd was awarded a RM36.9 million contract to build SK Metalun Primary School (In the penan settlement area). But until yesterday it was reported that only 30.11 percent of the physical progress of the construction of this school. The contractor gave reasons - one of the reasons for the failure to complete this school project was. Shin Yang Logging Company charges a toll of RM100 to RM700 every time they pass through the logging company's road. (Only the Shin Yang log road) that connects the metalun Area with the outside world.
Our question at RFS is why this company is too powerful. Why did the government that made a lot of profit build a dam - not build a road to the penan settlement area. Why is the school not built together with the Murum penan relocation package. Why can't the people's representatives or the Minister solve the problem with this logging company. If there really is a problem - allow GPS/Premier of Sarawak to cancel the logging license for this company. This all shows the inefficiency of the government and the agencies involved. One time - Hulu Rajang Member of Parliament YB Billy Abit Joo was once detained by workers of the Shin Yang logging company and was not allowed to pass through the road of the logging company involved - while he was on his way to visit the Penan Murum settlement. His conclusion looks at the case in Ba Abang and the case in Metalun. Showing that the logging companies are the Kings of the Sarawak Forest.
