陈开在致词中勉励儿童之家的儿童努力求学并竭尽所能实现各自的目标和梦想以便将来能够成为有用的人，为国家社会做出贡献。

他说，一个人美丽与否并不只是取决于其样貌，内心也必须要美丽。

“很不幸的，这里的小朋友们必须在没有父母的环境下成长，但儿童之家的工作人员一直都在无私的奉献和关怀着他们。他们绝对不可放弃希望和梦想，他们一定要对自己有信心。”

另外，罗克强在其简短的致词中也对巨星演艺歌舞娱乐学院长期以来的慈善工作赞赏有加并表示将继续给予支持。

20名来自巨星演艺歌舞娱乐学院，年龄介于6至24岁的学生，连同19名“Mini模特儿歌舞创意竞赛”的参赛者，昨早在该学院创办人兼舞蹈老师李晶帝率领下特地到古晋12哩儿童之家进行慈善工作。

除了为儿童之家小朋友的宿舍大扫除，还和小朋友们玩游戏及呈现歌舞表演供他们观赏。
与此同时，主办单位也准备了饮料及小吃，让小朋友们度过一个温馨愉快的早上。

主办单位也捐助干粮、奶粉、纸尿片、衣物和各种日常用品给古晋12哩儿童之家。据该家院长法慈拉苏莱里透露，古晋12哩儿童之家目前收容了逾70名儿童。他们的年龄最小的从刚出世的婴孩到最大的18岁中学生。

KUCHING: Despite being smaller in scale than the Kuching Festival held last month, the Padawan Fair 2013 will still be an enjoyable affair, assured Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang.

“The quality of the food does not lose out to Kuching Fest, and all the stalls are of good quality.

“In fact, some of the stalls that operated in Kuching Fest will actually be coming to Padawan Fair to continue to give the public good food and good service,” he said in a press conference yesterday.
Altogether, the fair will have a mix of 40 food and drink stalls and 56 trade stalls, ensuring that it will indeed be a jovial event for those who make their way there, he added.

The Padawan Fair is an effort by the council to build closer rapport between them and residents living in its area of jurisdiction, besides encouraging the residents to involve themselves in activities organised by the council.

Those who are worried about the possibility of rain at the fair need not fret, as there are tents and canopies provided for patrons to have their meals and watch entertainment programmes.

“Various entertainment programmes are lined up, a lot of music programmes like a singing competition as well as public karaoke singing for karaoke enthusiasts in Kuching,” Lo said.

He also said famous local singers and singers from Kuala Lumpur will be entertaining visitors at the fair.

Another highlight of the fair, he disclosed, is an acrobatic show that will be held on the last week of the fair from Sept 9 to 15.

Padawan Fair 2013 will be held for a period of one month, starting today until Sept 15 from 6pm to 11.30pm.

Assistant Minister of Public Health Dr Jerip Susil will launch the fair on Aug 23.
The operator for the fair is Embun Kiara Sdn Bhd.

KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has embarked on its three-year masterplan to ease the heavy traffic congestion at Kota Sentosa here.

The masterplan encompasses three phases with the first kicked off yesterday.


MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang revealed that the whole masterplan would cost around RM3.5mil to be sourced from the state government.

“MPP has been conducting a study on the traffic condition here since 2011.

“The area has a high traffic volume even as parking gets haphazard, so the masterplan will address all this,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

He said MPP had engaged L&P Associates to conduct traffic circulation studies at Kota Sentosa and to carry out phase one of the engineering design.

Phase one contract sum is RM639,080 for a period of 10 weeks and it will be handled by contractor Sasomi Bina Sdn Bhd.

The scope of work will include improving traffic flow along Jalan Liu Shang Bang, Wet Market Area and Lorong Liu Shang Bang 2.

For the first part, work will begin from Lorong Liu Shang Bang four to Jalan Kuching Ranger Depo and this will see the closure of the existing median break there.

Road users will no longer be allowed to turn right from the wet market to Jalan Liu Shang Bang as this has been creating traffic jam.

Road bumps will also be constructed to reduce speeding for the safety of pedestrians and the lane will be widened when all angle parking gets converted to parallel parking.

From Sacred Heart Church to the new shoplots at Pizza Hut, the existing road leading to the SSPCA will be widened and a right turn lane from these new shoplots will be allowed to divert traffic to the Kuching-Serian road.
