MULU – A total of RM442,000 has been disbursed to 28 recipients in the Mulu State Assembly (DUN) constituency under the Sarawak Government’s Rural Small Project (MRP) allocation, reaffirming the state’s commitment to uplifting rural communities.
The funds were handed over during the Mulu DUN MRP Grant Cheque Presentation Ceremony held on Monday at the Mulu DUN Service Centre. The ceremony was officiated by Mulu State Assemblyman and Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Labour, Immigration and Project Monitoring), Datuk Gerawat Gala.
He emphasised that the MRP remains a vital tool in the state’s efforts to ensure development reaches the most remote communities. “As of July 2025, a total of RM2.984 million has been distributed through the Mulu ADUN MRP fund, covering 216 approved applications. This is clear evidence that the government listens and takes action on the people’s needs,” he said.
At the event, RM64,000 worth of grants were distributed to several organisations including the Miri Sepak Takraw Association, Long Atip Residents Association, Highlanders Sports Club, Sarawak Berawan Association, AJKK Wanita Long Silat, PDK Sunflower Miri, SMK Marudi Alumni Association, and Bario Miri Single Mothers Association.
Datuk Gerawat also extended his gratitude to all community leaders, government departments, and agencies that have supported and collaborated with the Mulu ADUN office to ensure the success of various development and welfare programmes.
“This kind of support is crucial to ensure our outreach efforts remain impactful and inclusive, especially in areas as remote as Mulu,” he added.
The event was well attended by community leaders, local government representatives, and members of recipient associations, reflecting a strong partnership between the government and grassroots organisations in addressing rural development challenges.
