KUCHING: The DAP is mobilising efforts to clean up Tabuan River this Sunday.
Cardiologist Dr Tang Sie Hing, who is state DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen’s special assistant, said volunteers for the cleaning up initiative would meet up at a bridge near Tabuan Dayak at noon on that day.
“The high tide reaches its peak at about 1pm. So, hopefully by that time we can pick up as much rubbish as we can to clean the river,” he said.
He said he found out that Zhu Sze Kung temple committee chairman Ngeng Eng Cheng and his workers had been clearing Stutong river of rubbish but not Tabuan river as reported last Tuesday.
“Ngeng’s voluntary action to help is very encouraging. Let this be a good example for others to follow,” he said.
He agreed that this matter should not be played up as a political issue.
“What the people want is action to solve the problem. We clean it now and educate the people then,” added Tang.
He said he needed people to provide boats and financial assistance. Those with great ideas to treat the river are also welcomed to call him.
He said he was glad to hear from some local associations and churches who offered help. Some even called him from Miri.
To join the cleaning work, members of the public can go to ‘Save Tabuan River Campaign’ in Facebook or call Tang at 016-8848853 or email sarawak_cardiology@yahoo.com
Meanwhile, Dr Tang said the DAP would hold a dinner with the theme of ‘By the people, for the people’ at M2 foodcourt in Batu Kawah on June 19.
All its 12 elected YBs would be present at the dinner.
Tickets are sold at RM100, RM50 and RM30. Those interested to buy the dinner tickets are advised to call 082-335531.
