It’s 1 football field, 1 takraw court in Nangka

WHEN it comes to sports facilities, Nangka can be categorised as a ‘hardcore poor’ constituency.

Its assemblyman Dr Annuar Rapa’ee lamented that Nangka only had one football field and one sepak takraw court!

In addition, he is baffled why a proposed football field for Kampung Bahagia Jaya in Teku never got off the ground even though the proposal for the project was approved in 1996!

“I would like to urge the government to pay more attention to sports facilities in Nangka,” he said yesterday in his debate on the motion of thanks to the Head of State for his opening address last Monday.

Dr Annuar also spoke of the need to improve drainage in Kampung Teku, Kampung Jariah, Kampung Dato Hilir, Nangka and Bandong.

He believed such projects would alleviate flooding problems.

“I also hope the relevant authorities can speed up the application process of the proposed Bandong Walk in Kampung Bandong. The initiative to transform Kampung Bandong is vital as it will benefit not only the village but also its surrounding villages.”
