MIRI: Senadin assemblyman Datuk Lee Kim Shin yesterday joined villagers of Kampung Senadin, Lutong to build the house of a villager through the gotong-royong concept.

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK: Lee hammering in the last piece of nail on Rosinah’s house as villagers cheer.

Rosinah Hanapi’s house collapsed recently and was in desperate need of a new place to shelter the family.

Lee had earlier sponsored the building materials for the house.

Yesterday, he also pledged to provide building materials to repair the dilapidated house of a single mother, Maspuah Mahmud, who had been living alone for many years.

Lee, who is Assistant Minister of Communications, said the gotong-royong is an example where the rakyat and the government can work together to help the less fortunate people.

He said the BN government had always been ready to assist the less fortunate people and in cases of emergencies or disasters.

As the people’s representative for Senadin, he would ensure that their welfare is   taken care of, he said.

In tandem with this, he advised the people to work closely with the government and its representatives so that any issues or problems can be sorted out accordingly.
