Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis studies the examination result slip while perched on a ladder at a flooded longhouse in Long Bemang.

LONG BEMANG, Baram: It’s not the fire brigade nor Astro-man but Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau who came calling when he climbed a makeshift ladder to meet people evacuated to the upper floor of their longhouse in Long Bemang in the middle of Baram.

The ground floor of the longhouse was flooded since Saturday last week from rising waters in Baram due to the almost non-stop rain.

During the meeting, a man was asking for assistance and endorsement from Dennis to support his request to the Education Department for his daughter to continue her studies in the state rather than going to Sabah. He is making the request due to financial constraints.

He pleaded with the Education Department to allow his daughter to continue studying at either SM Sains Miri or in Kuching – leave it to Dennis who might as well be Astro-man.
