"At the end, not only was there costs overrun and delay, but it failed to supply water from Sibu to the Tanjung Manis hahal hub as intended," he said.

According to the A-G's Report, the Tanjung Manis water project commenced construction on November 11, 2013, but failed to meet the completion date on November 10, 2015.

The project was meant to transfer 125 million litres of raw water per day from Sungai Maaw in Sibu by using River Bank Filtration (RBF) system through pumping stations to Tanjung Manis hahal hub.

Jamuna Mani was in her paddy field when her relatives rushed to inform her about the prime minister's mention of her work in his Mann Ki Baat address.

In his radio address, Modi said that Jamuna Mani had resolved not to allow a single person die of malaria in her village.

" ASHA worker Jamuna Mani Singh works with full dedication to ensure that every child sleeps properly like her own.

Jamuna Mani's husband Debendra Singh, who is a class 10 drop- out, has been a constant source of support and inspiration apart from her bicycle, which is her most trusted companion.

Though Jamuna Mani, who was made a health worker in 2010, gets a meagre ` 1,000 as remuneration, it has failed to dampen her spirits.

The construction of the road that will shorten the travel time between the Meradong and Sarikei districts and Tanjung Manis will be the state government's gift to the people in the Sarikei parliamentary constituency.

The new road will also benefit the agricultural-based traders in Sarikei as they will be able to send their products to Tanjung Manis, the Sarawak halal hub centre, to be marketed overseas.

'Charter flights can also land at Tanjung Manis to transport tonnes of agricultural produce directly to Singapore to be marketed elsewhere.

But as the death of KM Mani, Kerala's longest serving legislator and the Chairman of the Kerala Congress (Mani), was confirmed on Tuesday (April 9), Sunny broke down like a child.

Mani, 86, died on Tuesday at 4.57pm at a hospital in Kochi where he was admitted for chest infection.

But the demise of the man who dominated Kerala politics for more than four decades meant nothing less than despair for party workers and people from Pala from where Mani had been a legislative member for the past 50 years.

Dias Idiculla, a librarian in Dubai who is from Ranni, said Mani was a leader who had a farmer's heart.
