Upon hearing a stress call from
Tr Banta about the “flying roof” of his long house situated just below Nanga
Sut, about half an hour drive from Kapit town; he (Ugak) took the first flight from
Kuala Lumpur to Sibu en route to Kapit to visit the victims of the turbulence
wind that caused havoc to Kapit town and nearby area on Wednesday night.
The first thing Ugak did was to
call his assistants to render immediate help to the victims by visiting them
and handing them with spandex roofing costing over RM2,000.00 to help ease
their burden. The quick actions of Ugak’s assistants heaped praises from the
victims and thanked Ugak for his concerns, aids and prompt actions.
During his visit, Ugak promised
to help the victims to construct their destroyed houses and he (Ugak) appealed
to the relevant authorities to come and render their assistances in whatever
way they can to help lessen the burden of the victims. Ugak later announced
that YB Tan Sri Dr James Jemut Masing chipped RM5, 000.00 to help the victims.
Accompanying Ugak on his brief
visit was Penghulu Salang, Penghulu Uga, Linggie Masing-Kemas Baleh Officer,
Nelson Nyagap from Kapit District Council and PRS Baleh party members.
Ugak took a speedboat ride to
Sibu after the visit to catch the last flight to Kuching en route to Kuala
Lumpur to join in the Merdeka day celebrations at the capital.
