TANJUNG SELOR - Governor of North Kalimantan (Kaltara) Zainal A Paliwang together with Pangdam VI Mulawarman Major General TNI Rudy Rachmat Nugraha held a meeting.
This brief meeting discussed a number of crucial issues regarding the development of road access development to Krayan, Nunukan Regency, equal distribution of electricity in remote villages, to plans for joint international-scale military exercises in Nunukan Regency.
"One of the topics discussed is related to the conditions and needs of the people in the Krayan area," said Zainal, Thursday, April 10.
"Previously in Tarakan City, I had met the Head of the North Kalimantan Provincial National Road Center to find out the progress of the Malinau-Krayan road so that it could penetrate," he continued.
Governor Zainal revealed, regarding the aspirations of the people of South Krayan some time ago, his party is committed to continuing to pay attention to the area bordering Malaysia.
"I will also try to be able to meet the Minister of PUPR to get priority because Krayan must be given special attention. Road access is very necessary to meet community needs such as basic necessities, can be served from Malinau. That in Malinau today, containers can also enter, even though small containers are for commodities needed by the community," he explained.
In addition to road infrastructure, the issue of equitable electricity is also a serious concern.
"For electricity, with a new renewable energy program, namely solar cells, we coordinate with PLN by trying to, how villages that have not been electrified, are given solar electricity assistance, as has been done in a number of areas in Nunukan," said the Governor.
In March 2025, PLN also presented electricity in seven villages spread across East Krayan and West Krayan sub-districts, namely Pa Raye Village in East Krayan and six villages in West Krayan, namely Long Mangan Village, Buduk Kubul Village, Pamulak Village, Long Puak Village, Painan Village, and Long Kabid Village.
