KUCHING, April 24, 2015 - Pelagus State Assemblyman George Lagong is using a unique way - the first by any state assemblyman - to convey problems or lack of development in his constituency
Instead of the usual way, he uses the "bebiau" style to convey the message when he took part in the debate on the motion of thanks on the address by the Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud.
The central message, he says, is on progress:
(a) Progress of the economy and industry;
(b) Progress of public infrastructure and public
administration; and
(c) Progress of human capital and environmental resources
management.
It is thus, Tuan Speaker, I seek your kind permission to
speak in Iban for the
remainder of my speech, to address the issue of progress
or lack of it of Iban community.]
