Lawas waterfront project nearing completion
Although not fully completed, the areas in front of Hotel Seri Malaysia Lawas and Dataran Bandar Lawas have started to attract foreigners and local residents in view of its beauty.
The residents want the place to be well protected. The District Information Officer Syarulizan Madian expressed his fears that the beautiful works put up at the area could be destroyed by irresponsible groups.
“As such, enforcement authorities like the police and Lawas District Council should plan early for a small police station there or engage the service of special guards for the areas,” he said yesterday.
Chairman of Kelab Melayu Trusan, Awangku Bahar Pengiran Jini stated that the security of the area was the responsibility of everyone. “We should involve everyone because we don’t want the situation of pointing figures at each other if bad things happen later.” He suggested that the authorities built appropriate barriers to prevent heavy vehicles like lorries from passing through. This is to prevent the roads and other areas from being damaged, he explained.
Meanwhile, the issues concerning the routes at the fish and vegetable markets continue to be topics heatedly discussed and the Lawas District Council should pay attention. It was said that many users here did not fault the Council Secretary on the problems as he too was said to feel regret and disappointed on what was happening. The users were said to request for route modification to solve the problem.

I really agreed the place should be protected. But impossible for the enforcement authorities like the police to be there at all times. There still have a lot of job to be done. No such thing for the police.
BalasPadamResposibility is everybody there. All the local residents are responsible to keep the place clean. Vandalism can be avoid if the local resident responsible. Don't blame others.
