DID called to monitor coastal embankment in Kpg Bungai following house collapse from waves
Rosey inspects the collapsed house in Kampung Bungai during her working visit. MIRI (June 30): The Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (DID) was called to Kampung Bungai to monitor the coastal embankment area following the recent collapse of a house after it was hit by waves. Deputy Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Rosey Yunus said the urgency was due to the many houses there that were at risk. 'DID must monitor and take the necessary actions to protect the residents. A sea wall needs to be built, because one house has already collapsed here in Kampung Bungai. 'So, I don't want to just hear about tender (process). What I want to see is actual implementation,' she said during a working visit to the collapsed house site last Saturday. Meanwhile, she said the Miri Welfare Department had been informed to come and assess the needs of the victim, and that necessary assistance would be channelled to them through the department. Following the incident, the houseowner, fisherman Bihie Ismail, 72, is temporarily staying with his children who live nearby. The collapsed house was said to be part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security's Fishermen's Special Housing Project (New Construction) 2024 programme, and the implementing agency was the Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority.

Upgrades coming for Subis senior activity centre, says S'wak deputy minister
Rosey (seated, centre) and recipients pose for a group photo after MRP cheque handover. MIRI (May 17): Senior citizens in Subis will soon enjoy improved facilities for their activities following approved plans to upgrade the existing senior citizen activity centre (Pawe), said Deputy Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, Datuk Rosey Yunus. The first approved project, she revealed, involves constructing a covered shed to connect the Pawe Building and the Community-based Rehabilitation Centre (PDK). 'There is an empty area between the two buildings. So, the plan is to build an open hall at a cost of RM200,000. It would be a good place for both Pawe and PDK to hold activities,' said Rosey after handing over Minor Rural Project (MRP) grants to eight recipients at Pawe building on Wednesday. Another approved plan, she added, is to upgrade the existing Pawe building, including floor repairs and improvements to the safety fencing. She emphasised the importance of these upgrades, noting that the Pawe is located in a remote area, far from the town centre. Therefore, the safety and comfort of senior citizens are given top priority to ensure they can carry out their activities in a conducive environment. 'These infrastructure improvements are in line with the government's inclusive approach to encourage active participation among senior citizens in the community, and to ensure they age healthily and with dignity. 'We want our senior citizens to stay active and healthy ― not just sit at home. That is why I would like to urge those aged 60 and above to register as Pawe members and make full use of the facilities provided,' she said. The Bekenu assemblywoman added that the construction project will be implemented by the Public Works Department (JKR), and is expected to be completed within the year after the appointment of contractors is finalised. The total amount of grants disbursed at the simple handover ceremony was RM75,838.00. The recipients were Special Development Committee for Zone Saeh (RM8,000); JKKK Kampung Bulau (RM5,000); Batu Niah Che Yan Khor Moral Uplifting Society (RM3,838); SK Beliau Isa Parents Teachers Association (RM10,000); SK Bekenu Parents Teachers Association (RM10,000); BBP Lutong's Musolla Al-Azhar (RM15,000); Pawe Subis (RM4,000); and Jawatankuasa Perhubungan Komuniti Subis (RM20,000).

Deputy Minister for Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Rosey Yunus who was present at the event today described the turnout as impressive and encouraging. 'Thanks to the collaboration of community leaders and local media, more seniors are becoming aware of the benefits available through KGC,' she said. Held at Sepupok Community Hall from May 15 to 16, the two-day event offered information and assistance on various government welfare services. The Bekenu assemblywoman commended the efforts of the Miri Welfare Department and supporting agencies for making the programme a success. 'This initiative has had a meaningful impact, particularly in Subis and Niah, with a noticeably stronger turnout compared to previous sessions,' she added. At the event, Rosey also clarified that all eligible senior citizens in Sarawak are entitled to apply for the KGC, which offers discounts, service exemptions, and special privileges at both public and private establishments. She said the KGC programme continues to receive strong support since its launch, with more strategic partners and benefits added over time. 'There are now various discounts and exclusive offers tailored for eligible recipients across all Sarawak districts,' she explained. The event also featured the Sejambak Kasih Gawai 2025 aid distributions, attended by 100 welfare recipients from Niah and nearby areas. A total of 198 welfare aid recipients were eligible for the RM100 cash assistance, with funds credited directly to the bank accounts of those unable to attend.
