PAPAR: Three villages in Limbahau including Kampung Gana, which gained attention after a father of three had to build a makeshift hut at a secluded location for his children’s online studies, have been included in the list for the National Digital Network (Jendela) implementation nationwide.

Limbahau Community Development Leader Datuk Johnny Mositun said the other two villages are Kampung Tanaki and Kampung Mandalipau.

He said residents of the three villages would be able to enjoy better Internet connection in the near future.

As the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Limbahau Chief, Johnny said he had sent a letter dated Nov 17, 2020 to the manager of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Sabah and Labuan for telecommunications towers and transmitters in interior villages in Limbahau, a newly-created state constituency.

“I was fully aware of this problem during my last visit in November to a few villages in Limbahau such as Kg Kaiduan, Kg Tanaki, Kg Gana, Kg Kopimpinan, Kg Bolotikon, Kg Mandalipau Ovai and Kg Kapalid Kobulu, Labak, which do not have digital network coverage and support.
