GUA MUSANG, Jan 6 — About 129 residents from 40 families in Kampung Miak, here, have to risk their lives walking on logs to cross the Depok River after the wooden bridge connecting the village collapsed and was swept away by strong currents on December 21.
He said that after the bridge collapsed, residents could not go out to buy food supplies, send their children to school and grow crops to sell because their movements became restricted.“Residents of Kampung Laloh, Kuala Krai would be waiting for us on the other side of the river with their vehicles to give us rides to do our daily affairs, including sending more than 50 children to Sekolah Kebangsaan Lela Jasa and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Laloh,” he told reporters here today.
According to Muhammad Hasan, 56, the residents could not sell their rubber and vegetable products after the bridge, courtesy of a logging company in the 70s, collapsed completely despite being repaired several times. Meanwhile, Gua Musang district chief Ab Pattah Hasbulah said his office was aware of the problems faced by the villagers and went to the ground to send basic food aid and cash to ease the burden on the communities concerned.
