The procession’s commencement was officiated by His Holiness Bhanu Maharaj and Mr. Lo Khere Chiang ( with broom) , Chairman of Padawan Municipal Council, Kuching.

KUCHING - ISKCON Kuching, Sarawak, for the 8th consecutive time held its’ annual Jagannath Ratha Yatra festival with great pomp and gaiety on Saturday 20th June, 2015. The beautifully decorated chariot carrying Lordships Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subadhra Maharani started proceeding from Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Batu Lintang at 4 p.m. and ended at 7 p.m. at the Hare Krishna Multipurpose Hall, Batu Kawa, next to ISKCON Kuching’s Lakshmi Narasimha Temple.

The chariot was preceded by an elaborately decorated float which came with a beautiful touch of splendor, i.e the portrayal of Lord Ram-Sita-Lakshman-Hanuman by the children of ISKCON Kuching. The procession’s commencement was officiated by His Holiness Bhanu Maharaj and Mr. Lo Khere Chiang, Chairman of Padawan Municipal Council, Kuching. Hundreds of devotees thronged the streets to catch a glimpse of the majestic deities, to pull the chariot along on the ropes and offer archanas to the merciful Lordships to obtain benediction. Many others were simply absorbed into the transcendental sound of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, chanting and dancing through ecstatic kirtan that was taking place in front of the chariot.

Upon reaching the Hare Krishna Multipurpose Hall, a grand mass of fireworks and Lion Dance performance by the Chinese Association welcomed the glorious deities. Kripa Sindhu Krishna Dasa, Temple President of ISKCON Kuching addressed the crowd with a warm welcome, thanked all organizations, congregation members of ISKCON especially devotees from West Malaysia who were about 90 of them this year, who took the trouble to fly over to Sarawak to extend their full support.

This was followed by Simheswara Dasa’s speech, Regional Secretary of ISKCON Malaysia who appreciated the crowd for their participation and glorified this year’s Kuching Ratha Yatra celebration because it coincided with Purusottama month, which added more auspiciousness to this event. He also strongly recommended everyone to offer ghee lamps, chant and take prasadam during this holy month to purify ourselves and receive the Lord’s blessings. Next was a spiritual discourse by HH Bhanu Maharaj, who pointed mainly to the importance of love for God, and Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Absolute Truth.

The program for the evening henceforth featured a variety of presentations including several dance performances by Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia that signified the diverse and multi-ethnic population of the country. The children and youth of ISKCON Kuching, created a home production comprising of Sita-Ram drama, light dance and various Krishna Lila dance that mesmerized the crowd. In the meantime, Prasadam, the feast of love and devotion prepared by devotees was served to approximately 500 guests where various types of pure vegetarian food and sweets were distributed out.

Puncak Borneo Road Diversion Ready Soon

KUCHING: A road diversion near the stretch of Jalan Puncak Borneo that collapsed early this year will be completed before the end of the month.

Padawan Municipal Council chairman Lo Khere Chiang said the temporary diversion only required two days to complete but the Public Works Department (JKR) is still awaiting compensation for the owners of two huts situated on the proposed site.

“JKR is waiting for compensation to be disbursed to owners of the affected huts and the relocation of these huts to proceed further. Once relocation is done, stones as a road base will be laid and compacted,” he said yesterday when commenting on the latest regarding the proposed road diversion.

“Two days are estimated to complete this temporary diversion, and the road will be open to the public, which will undoubtedly bring a huge relief to local commuters as well as tour operators.”

Lo said while the temporary road diversion is considered the best alternative to address the immediate needs of daily commuting, the project would take some time to complete.

“When erosion occurred and the road gave way, JKR and its engineers started investigation to ascertain the cause of failure and possible solution to address the failed embankment.

“Embankment failure needs careful attention as the way water flows under the ground to cause this kind of failure is sometimes very unpredictable,” he explained.

Lo said the issue of compensation was solved thanks to the efforts of Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong.

Meanwhile, he said JKR started with the mobilisation of equipment to the site on June 10 followed by earthworks a day later.

The earthworks, he explained, involved “a cut and fill on two hills” to allow wider access for the proposed road diversion.

“An area was cut and levelled for the relocation of landowners’ huts as part of the negotiated agreement. A five-foot wide culvert was laid on June 12.

“After that earthworks continued with the filling of a slope on the western side of the failed embankment to widen the access of the proposed diversion.”

Major earthworks ended last Monday, he said, adding temporary gravel access has also been constructed for motorcycles.

“If you recall, there was another bridge that collapsed around the same time, and a lorry went down with it. It was Kampung Sadir Bridge and it was completed about two weeks ago,” he said, adding a Bailey bridge was installed costing JKR approximately RM300,000.

On Jan 19, more than 10 villages along Jalan Puncak Borneo were cut off as the stretch leading to Kampung Pangkalan Ampat from the main road caved in.

A few other roads along Jalan Puncak Borneo were also damaged due to landslips and flash floods.

On March 2, Kampung Sadir Bridge collapsed under the weight of a lorry carrying sand for the construction of a telecommunication tower at Kampung Sibekar.

The incident cut off the route to Kampung Sadir from Kampung Annah Rais.

Padawan Municipal council Chairman, Lo Khere Chiang comment on damaged road at Puncak Borneo

Padawan Municipal council Chairman, Lo Khere Chiang said the temporary diversion of roads could be completed in only two days time along the stretch of Puncak Borneo between Kpg Karu, Kpg Bayur, Kpg Simuti and Kpg Sibakar and Kpg Begu once the two huts which was in the way of the new road were to be relocated.

The road along the stretch caved in causing road erosion and blocking the shorter route to these kampongs. At the moment, the villagers have to use another route which is half an hour further away.
Lo said the opening of the road to the public will undoubtedly bring a huge relief  for local commuters as well as tour operators.

Pointing out that he is always concerned when road erosions occurred in areas affecting villagers, Lo said it affected their daily lives as some of them would be cut off completely due to the only road they have there.

He said in such occasion, the council would work with the JKR and their engineers to start investigation to ascertain the causes of failure and possible solutions to address the failed embankment.

“Embankment failure needs careful attention as the way water flows under the ground to cause this kind of failure is sometimes very unpredictable. As the project will take some time to complete with detail design considerations, a temporary road diversion was considered the best alternative to overcome immediate needs to relieve the many commuters daily,” he said.

However, Lo pointed out that with an alternative road, the issue of trespassing existing property has to be dealt with first. Thus, the need to demolish two huts to achieve the proposed access and compensation arises. He said he was thankful that though the efforts of Infrastructure development, Dato’ Sri Michael Manyin, the compensation was resolved.

On June 10, Lo said there was the mobilization of equipment to the site and earthworks started the next day where they cut and filled on two hills to allow a wider access for the proposed road diversion. An area was cut and leveled for the relocation of landowners’ huts as part of the negotiated agreement.

He said a five feet wide culvert was laid on June 12 and earthworks continued, with the  filling of a slope on the western side of the failed embankment,  to widen the access of the proposed diversion.
The whole major earthwork was done three days later and a temporary gravel access has been constructed for motorcycles to use as an immediate relief to them.

“JKR is now waiting for compensation to be disbursed to owners of the affected huts and the relocation of these huts to proceed further. Once relocation exercise is complete, stones as road base will be laid and compacted,” he added.

Lo who is an engineer himself said the recent road collapses in Penrissen and Padawan proved that the relevant authorities need to relook at the construction of road designs to prevent such incidents.
He suggested construction of more small bridges across road sections so that they could have intersecting waterways underneath which give more solid foundation.

Meanwhile, on the Kpg Sadir bridge which collapsed after a lorry drove through it early March this year, Lo said villagers can now use the RM300,000 bailey bridge which was constructed and competed two weeks ago.

The collapse of the bridge had affected 2,000 villagers and road users in Jalan Padawan Ulu.

●巴达旺市议会主席罗克强（前排右三）等在石角德莎威拉路口勘察路况。

（古晋15日讯）从古晋3哩交通灯处到张君光大桥的石角路的道路使用者注意！当局将在近期展开为期3个月的维修工程，预计今年8月杪完工。巴达旺市议会主席罗克强今日在新闻发布会上指出，这条长达7公里的双程大道是属中央道路，整个维修经费达710万令吉，是提升泛婆大道工程之一。

他透露，市议会早前接获许多当地道路使用者及居民的投诉，指该段双程大道的损毁严重，希望能将全面维修及提升，以提供他们良好与完善的道路，尤其是随着该路段的车流量剧增了。

他感谢砂基本设施发展与通讯部长拿督斯里麦哥玛因与和联邦工程部长拿督斯里法迪拉尤索夫，两位州与中央部长的配合下，成功协助为该段双程大道向中央政府争取款项，以让巴达旺市议会对市民有个交代。

夜间施工避免堵车

罗克强披露，为了尽量减少对道路使用者的影响，维修工程将在晚上9时至清晨5时的时段内进行。当局也会竖立警示牌，以警惕道路使用者小心驾驶及避免超速。

无论如何，他希望道路使用者及居民能体谅，一时的忍耐，以换取平坦的道路。他指出，除了维修该条双程大道之外，市议会也将会对石角德莎威拉T字路口处进行评估，以探讨改善该路口处，让当地交通更为流畅。

罗克强说，自该路贯通杨国斯路后，使用该路段的车流量比以往增加，所以该路段T字路口处是时候应该进行改善了。

Utusan Borneo Online: 2015-06-09

KUCHING: Pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) di negeri ini telah menjalankan amanah kerajaan secara positif dan keterbukaan minda untuk membantu rakyat termiskin, menjadikan mereka berjaya melaksanakannya. 
 
Menurut Pengerusi Majlis Perbandaran Padawan (MPP) Lo Khere Chiang, pihaknya telah berjaya melunaskan janji itu dengan membantu 10 keluarga termiskin pada tahun lepas. 

“Pihak kami telah mengenal pasti 12 lagi keluarga yang akan dibantu dalam program 1Akhiri Zaman Miskin (1AZAM) dari Kampung Bumbok, Siburan, Kampung Kiding, Padawan, Batu Kawa pada tahun ini. 

“Dana daripada kerajaan persekutuan diberikan kepada Kementerian Kebajikan Wanita dan Pembangunan Keluarga yang kemudiannya disalurkan kepada agensi pelaksana seperti SEDC, Jabatan Pertanian, Jabatan Perikanan, Pejabat Daerah dan PBT di seluruh negeri. 

“Ia menampakkan kejayaan kerana sokongan kewangan kerajaan dan PBT membantu melaksanakan kursus perniagaan, menjahit dan sebagainya untuk para peserta,” katanya ketika menyerahkan barangan untuk jualan untuk kedai runcit milik peserta 1AZAM niaga Norik Seim di Kampung Jambu, Padawan semalam. 

Peruntukan yang disediakan pihaknya berjumlah sekitar RM150,000 yang turut menampakkan kejayaan yang nyata bagi 10 keluarga program terbabit pada tahun lepas.
Pihak PBT kata Lo, akan membeli barangan dan tidak memberi tunai kepada peserta selain menyelia pembangunan AZAM kerja selepas mengendalikannya. 

“Kami telah menyelia dan ramai di kalangan peserta berjaya dan kepercayaan ini dengan sokongan kepada PBT untuk membantu keluarga melalui program yang dikendalikan kerajaan untuk mengurangkan kemiskinan tegar di kalangan rakyat. 

“Walupun mereka miskin tetapi mempunyai kesungguhan dan bekerja keras untuk mengubah taraf hidup mereka dan keluarga. 

“Dan sekiranya perniagaan peserta berjaya, ia akan memberi peluang pekerjaan dan perkongsian ilmu kepada impak rantaian masyarakat yang miskin dalam kampung terlibat,” tambahnya semalam. 

Bagaimanapun penyertaan program terbabit hanya terbuka kepada peserta miskin tegar dengan mendaftar dengan e-Kasih.
