Squatter settlements

Vance Tan quotes: Yesterday’s Borneo Global Issue Conference (BGIC) was a blast with an overwhelming response from the students of various government and private institutions.

The session conducted in the form of a drama was in fact a great way to show the do’s and dont’s during the exact day which will be held soon at the International Convention Centre, date to be disclosed from public knowledge at the moment. Following that, international speakers would be invited to the BGIC during the real conference, and complimentary shirts would also be given to the participating students.

The shadows casted on them: Indeed, these squatter settlements which were understood to be there for more than 15 years, and the area even faced fire hazards once, and cleared off once. Located behind the Jubli Hotel, the residence living in the squatter settlements live under the shadowcast of the tall building, bringing about a gigantic silhouette.

When brought by Cikgu Jum for a case study, I was explained that most of the residence in the squatter settlements have actually been destroyed, leaving the rest houses behind. Most of the houses were composed of corrugated iron and cheap zinc, while some patching were done with manila card.

A squatter settlement set in action

Branches trashed to pollute the innocent river

A way of getting free electricity

Bottles littered the mouth of the river

A few array of corrugated zinc houses

ahanThai’s fiesta: The food was not only nice, it was finger licking. The prices were affordable and quite worth-it as the food served on the plate was enough to make you go for a walk after the meal. Accompanied by my two partners, Cikgu Jum and Afif, we marched into the restaurant and searched for a seat. The ambience of the restaurant was unevitable, in addition to its well-trained waiter and waitresses who will bring a smile and add cheerfulness to your day.
