DARO, Nov 7: Once bare land with no houses, Pulau Bruit has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 10 to 12 years, with new homes, roads and bridges reshaping its landscape and improving connectivity for local communities.

Sarawak Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said he witnessed the changes firsthand when he revisited the area, having last visited around 2013 or 2014 while serving as Deputy Housing Minister.

“At that time, this area (now the RGC Semop housing development) was completely empty. There was only land, without a single house. That was why, when I arrived by helicopter earlier, I saw that the area was now filled with houses.
