MARUDI, Aug 15 2026: The Miri–Marudi-Mulu-Long Panai-Long Lama (MMMLL) road project is expected to improve connectivity and open up new economic opportunities for the Lubok Nibong Poyut community.
Deputy Minister in the Premier's Department (Labour, Immigration and Project Monitoring) Gerawat Gala said the construction of the approximately 142-kilometre alignment would strengthen the relationship between Miri, Marudi and Mulu.
"MMMLL is not just a road. It is a network that connects areas, opens up opportunities and changes the economic and social landscape of the community," he said when speaking at the leaders-meet-people session at Rumah Saut Aseng, Sungai Sebatang here yesterday.
Gerawat, who is also the Mulu State Legislative Member (SLM), said construction work is now starting to be seen, including before the Marudi bridge and around the Rumah Stephen Kalong junction.
According to him, when connected to the Second Trunk Road/Sarawak-Sabah Link Road Phase Two (SSLR2), MMMLL will complete the communication network in northern Sarawak and open up development potential in the agriculture, trade and tourism sectors.
He said that the increased access will also benefit the Poyut Lubok Nibong community through better connections to markets and services.
The program also provides briefing sessions by various government agencies on services and programs that can be used by the community.
At the same ceremony, Polen Gelau was appointed as the Tuai Rumah of Kampung Sungai Melikat while Tua Layat was appointed as the Tuai Rumah of Kampung Long Patan for the 2026–2027 session.
A total of 29 Village Development and Security Committees (JKKK) also received certificates of appointment registration for the same session.
Gerawat also expressed his appreciation to community leaders who completed their terms of service for their contributions to the community.
Also present were Marudi District Officer Rose Edward Tarang, Marudi District Iban Community leader and Lubok Nibong Poyut development advisor Pemanca Randie Bundan and Miri Division Iban Community leader Temenggong Boniface Bada Enjah.
