Ferry service in Dalat

Dalat is a small town located about 35 km from Mukah. The majority of populations are Melanaus, Chinese, Iban and Malays being in small number. Up till now when other towns are growing very fast in terms of development, Dalat still lag behind in terms of infrastructures.

The ferry service between Dalat bazaar and kampung Brunei is very saddening to watch. The ferry is made of wooden materials which rot very fast due to exposure to water and heat. In that situations, it would be very dangerous to users, for one thing, there is no insurance coverage in case the unwanted incident happen. User's safety is not guaranteed.

Vehicles queuing up and waiting to board the wooden ferry.

The constructions of the bridge connecting Dalat bazaar and kampung Brunei has been stagnant after it started more that a year ago. What has happened to the project, nobody knows. It seems that, the local authority is not giving priority to the projects.

Where is the wakil rakyat concerned? It seems that the wakil rakyat is sleeping soundly after unopposed win during the last state elections. No actions has been taken to speed up the bridge constructions on the part of the wakil rakyat. Come next elections, I hope there's someone coming up to give a challenge to the incumbent.
