Datuk Celestine Ujang who is also incumbent for N52 Kemena also said that more such grants, especially for the longhouses and schools in the area would continue to come in on a yearly basis, adding that what had been allocated now is not political in nature.

So far, Ujang said that a total of RM300,000 had been allocated for similar purposes in Kemena alone, aimed at improving the standard of living of the rural people.

Actually, Ujang said that every year each constituency received a total of RM950,000 budget for the Minor Rural Development Project, RM450,000 from the State Government while another RM500,000 is from the Federal Governmnet respectively.

This, Ujang said was part of the government's effort to eradicate poverty
among the rural folks so that by vision 2020 their standard of living would be at par with those who were considered as more advanced groups both socially and economically.

However, despite of all these, Ujang said that the opposition still keep on saying that the government had not done much to help the people, adding that they what they propagated among the people were lies aimed at disrupting the unity of the people for reasons known to by themselves.
