Kunak, 12 May 2009. A new kampong (village) will be set up in the vicinity of the present Kampong Kunak Tiga. The local State Assemblyman, Nilwan Kabang said this in his speech at a get-together in Kampong Kunak Tiga this morning. The proposal is part of the government effort to get Kunak to a zero squatter district position in the near future as well as giving opportunities to the people to live in a more comfortable and well-structured kampong. It is quite difficult for the government to convey infrastructures and basic amenities to kampongs with disarrayed houses. According to Nilwan, his team is in the process of submitting applications to the government for the project.
After a dialogue session with the villagers, Nilwan, accompanied by a few government officers and some villagers made a quick inspection of the proposed area where the new kampong is to be developed.
At the opening of the get-together, a cultural dance was presented by dancers from Kampong Kunak Tiga. Click here to view the video clip.

Guess what are the name they will choose for this new village. To me the name is not a big factor, but please make sure it wouldn't naming after a Kunak base company, i.e KUNACO. Otherwise we will see this village to be sold from one hand into another.
