羅克強:布洛克醫院列遺產區 巴達旺可招更多遊客

羅克強:布洛克醫院列遺產區 巴達旺可招更多遊客
砂拉越



(古晉30日訊)峇都吉當區州議員兼巴達旺市議會主席羅克強宣布,位於婆羅洲高原路的布洛克紀念醫院,將在憲報上頒布為遺產區。

他指出,砂拉越博物院已根據1993年砂拉越文化遺產條例,於8月28日發出通知,鑑定布洛克紀念醫院為“歷史建築物”。

他說,在砂博物院發出上述通知后,意味該醫院的歷史建築不能隨意裝修、拆除或破壞。同時,待砂旅游、藝術、文化、青年及體育部部長拿督阿都卡林在州議會提呈將布洛克紀念醫院憲報上頒布為遺產區后,州政府將撥款修復當地歷史建築。

■歷史建築拆了就沒了
羅克強今日在布洛克紀念醫院召開新聞發布會上表示,對一般人來說,舊建築應該被拆除,以落實新發展,興建更現代化的高樓大廈。但是,舊建築也意味歷史的見證,而歷史不能回頭,建築物拆了,就等於永遠失去。

他強調,世界上許多國家都將舊年代的麻瘋病院列為遺產,每年全世界至少有兩項關於麻瘋病歷史及遺產保護的國際大會,深入討論麻瘋病歷史課題。

“當年,不同種族背景的麻瘋病人在布洛克紀念醫院生活,彼此和睦共處,連華人神廟、基督教堂和清真寺都相隔不遠,這何其不是砂州多元種族和諧的真實歷史寫照?”

羅克強表示,作為市議會主席,他希望看到布洛克紀念醫院在列為遺產區后,可吸引更多遊客前往巴達旺地區觀光旅遊。
目前在布洛克紀念醫院的麻瘋病人有6人,全部男性,介於60歲至80歲。

罗克强:阻击“垃圾虫” “尊容”上脸书有效

●巴达旺市议会主席罗克强在新闻发布会发言时的神情,右为巴达旺市议会副主席拿督阿末及左为巴达旺市议会代秘书伊丽莎白罗。
(本报古晋27日)培养和教育人民为环保大使,必须从孩童时期做起!
巴达旺市议会主席罗克强今日在巴达旺市议会常月会议结束后,召开新闻发布会时表示,巴达旺市议会辖区内的非法丢弃垃圾问题日益严重,市议会每年花费5万到10万令吉处理这些非法丢弃的垃圾,其中还包括各种各样的大型垃圾。
“非法垃圾堆发现的物品主要为大型物品,包括旧家具、箱子、塑料、被丢弃的食物、旧电器、建筑废料、园艺废料等。”
他强调,巴达旺市议会多年来不断提升民众对于环保方面的醒觉,但却没有显著的效果。
罗克强提醒民众,如发现乱丢垃圾的情况,可拍照将照片传给他,他会将有关“垃圾虫”的照片上传脸书,透过该宣传方式,让相关单位感到害羞,保证下次不再犯。
“因他曾经上传数个‘垃圾虫’的照片在脸书,相关罗里公司的负责人见状后,马上致电道歉并要求撤下有关照片。”
他表示,单单依赖执法人员执法是不足的,这需改变民众的思维,而该思维须从小开始做起,以从中减少非法丢弃垃圾问题。
“我们必须阻止该坏习惯,以关注我们自身及社区环境的卫生。”
同时,罗克强欣慰的表示,现阶段全砂甚至巴达旺区已经没有“打鱼机”活动,并感谢警方,特别是巴达旺警区主任艾迪而的功劳及付出。

MPP urged to include cultural performances, traditional games in Padawan Raft Safari

KUCHING: The Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) and organising committee of Padawan Raft Safari should diversify the event to include ethnic cultural performances and traditional games to add to more excitement to the annual event.

In suggesting this, Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datu Ik Pahon Joyik said the presence of foreign tourists in the event is a clear sign that the event is gaining international recognition.

“I asked several foreign tourists who participated and most of them were not here to race with the raft, but to enjoy the scenery,” said Ik Pahon.

He added that the villagers of Kampung Git and Kampung Semadang could jointly turn it into a festival, and at the same time it would be a great opportunity to promote the Bidayuh culture to the outside world.

“Apart from just the raft race, cultural performance can be complimented with workshops to teach visitors about the dance and traditional games,” he said.

Ik Pahon added that as part of the Sarawak Tourism Calendar, the ministry will continue to provide the necessary support to ensure that the Padawan Raft Safari will continue to grow and gain international recognition.

“So MPP should prepare a working paper to be presented to the ministry and I believe that the ministry will definitely support any efforts to improve this event,” he added.

Ik Pahon added that with Padawan having many eco-tourism attractions, such as the Kampung Benuk longhouse, Annah Rais, Borneo Highlands and the river rafting, it is timely that the people work together to further promote these attractions to outsiders.

The event yesterday also saw the biggest participation since its inaugural event back in 2004 with over 140 teams and over 500 participants.

Also present at the event were MPP deputy chairman Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim and Walikota Samarahan Datuk Peter Minos.

MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang

KUCHING: Pedawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang is standing firm on his decision to move stallholders along the roadside near Kampung Bumbok to the new hawker centre.

He said there will be no trading on the roadside like how it was before.
“These hawkers have to move into the new hawker centre. There shall be no trading along the roadside,” Lo told DayakDaily today.

He promised to improve the facilities in the new hawker centre to meet the needs and requirements of the stallholders.

In terms of the issue of halal and non­halal stalls, Lo who is also Batu Kitang assemblyman was firm to assert that it was non­existent.

“The hawkers are all Bidayuh traders and there is no pork seller at the moment. The issue of halal and non­halal stalls should not come into the picture,” said Lo.

Lo was responding to the villagers of Kampung Bumbok who demanded an official explanation after their stalls selling vegetables and fresh produce along the road near the village were demolished by MPP on Sept 19.

More than 25 villagers claimed that Lo had promised them that he would not demolish the stalls.

Special Assistant to state Democratic Action Party (DAP) chairman Chong Chieng Jen, Dr Kelvin Yii who had gone to meet those affected on Tuesday said many of these hawkers were the sole breadwinners of their families whose income came from these roadside stalls.

He said MPP had a meeting with them on July 17 regarding the eviction. The villagers expressed their objection during the meeting and Lo made a verbal promise and agreed that they could continue to carry out their business by the roadside outside Kampung Bumbok.

However, a month later, the hawkers were shocked to receive a letter from MPP, dated Aug 18, 2017, notifying them to relocate their business to the Kampung Bumbok Community Centre (KBCC).

The notice stated that MPP at the Special Full Council Meeting that was held on Aug 17 had made a unanimous decision on the matter, which is contrary to what was promised to the hawkers during the earlier meeting with Lo.

Yii said the main concern of the villagers was that their businesses might be affected if they were to relocate to KBCC which was the experience of some stallholders who did try to move earlier.

Besides that, Yii said some of the hawkers were reluctant to move because there was no proper partition to separate the halal and non­halal stalls as most of their customers are Muslim and they may feel uncomfortable coming to the new location especially if there were alcohol and non­ halal items being sold openly without proper partitions.

Roadside stalls at Kpg Bumbok demolished

The entrance to the new hawker centre, opened in July 2017.

KUCHING: The roadside wooden stalls at Kampung Bumbok near here were dismantled by the local council under supervision of the police early yesterday morning.

No one was trading there when the stalls were demolished though one or two hawkers did come over and expressed their grouses and disappointment to personnel of the authorities.

The situation was reportedly under control.

The stalls were dismantled so that the hawkers could all move to the new Kampung Bumbok hawker centre just nearby.

The new centre was opened in July this year.

When met at Kota Sentosa yesterday afternoon, Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang said the dismantling of the old roadside hawker stalls and the opening of the new centre – both at Jalan Batu Kitang – was to ensure safety and avoid road accident, adding the interest of the community must precede the interest of a few persons.

Stating that it could not be guaranteed that road accidents would not happen at the old site if it remained there, he said: “It is good to take precaution. It is also fair to listen to the majority of the public for wanting a better and proper place to trade and shop.”

He said the new hawker centre is a safe and proper place to trade and shop.

Lo, who is Batu Kitang assemblyman, urged people to be calm and not to politicise the matter.
In addition, he requested all to work together to ensure smooth implementation of projects and progress in Batu Kitang.

Kpg Bumbok stalls dismantled, hawkers to move to new centre

The new hawker centre nearby.

KUCHING: The Kampung Bumbok roadside hawker stalls has been dismantled by Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) under the supervision of the police this morning.

No one was trading there during the time although one or two hawkers did come over to express their grouses and disappointment to the personnel on duty.

The situation was reported to be under control.

The wooden stalls were dismantled so that the hawkers could all move to the new Kampung Bumbok hawker centre just nearby. The new centre was opened in July 2017.

When met at Kota Sentosa this afternoon, MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang said the dismantling of the old roadside hawker stalls and the opening of the new centre – both at Jalan Batu Kitang – was aimed at providing personal safety and avoiding road accidents.

He said the interest of the community at large has to take precedence over few persons, adding that the new hawker centre is a safe and proper place to trade and shop.

Lo, who is Batu Kitang assemblyman, urged people to stay calm and not to politicise the matter.


Demolition Of Illegal Roadside Bumbok Stalls



Regards to the matter on demolition of roadside Bumbok stalls, please be assured I am not enforcing it blindly. I know that its going to cause inconvenience to some people but pacifying these roadside hawkers to move into the new hawker centre will bring out the best for the entire Bumbok community.

Firstly, there are ample space at the new hawker area, only short walking distance away from the roadside hawker space. There are lots of space for extension of this new hawker centre in future with ample spaces for the extension of car parks too. Being elected, I have the advantage and the convenience of having some funds which I can dictate and propose to the state government for the benefit of my constituency.


I have already agreed to certain requests to improve the new hawker centre further. I have approved non slip floor tiles for the flooring of the new hawker centre. I have approved signages that will help to advertise this new hawker centre, awnings to shield off the gruelling afternoon sun. I have agreed to provide a 20 foot container for the hawkers to store their valuables and not having to bring them to and fro their house daily. I have also promised to provide good trading stalls and tables to meet their request and requirements and all these will be done in good time.

While traders in the towns and bazaars have to pay enormous rental for hawker stalls, the cost if any to our bumbok hawkers is negligible. Why am I doing all these? For the benefit of who? If I am not doing all these for the Dayak community of Kpg Bumbok, who else am I doing these for?

Yes, I tried to keep both sides happy by allowing the hawkers in the new centre to operate and allowing the ones on the road side to continue trading too, however, it cannot work. So long as there are one or two hawkers on the road side, the business at the new hawker centre are affected and majority of the community in Kpg Bumbok are not happy.

And one main priority is the safety of road users. Doing early prevention of safety rather than when accidents happen, lives are lost then we decide to change, by then it will be too late. I have had numerous discussions with both sides of the traders together with their KK at the balai of Kpg Bumbok, at the new hawker centre several times and in my MPP office over the past one and a half years. I have ascertain that the majority of community in Kpg Bumbok wanted the new hawker centre and wants everybody to cooperate by moving in to this new centre and start with positive beginnings.

I have already explained that in the long run, the new place would bring in tremendous opportunities and prosperity to the Bumbok traders, given the space and room for expansion and permanent facilities that I can help to provide at this new hawker centre.

Please Do Not politicise this matter. This is for the positive change of Kpg Bumbok Community and for the safety of road users. Be brave and embrace positive changes!

Sarawak DAP chairman’s aide nabbed over remarks about PM

Saturday September 16, 2017
Abdul Aziz Isa is being handcuffed after he was arrested by the police for posting remarks against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, September 16, 2017. ― Picture courtesy of Chong Chieng Jen’s Facebook page.









KUCHING, Sept 16 ― Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen’s special assistant Abdul Aziz Isa was arrested by police this afternoon for allegedly posting some unpleasant remarks about Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on his Facebook page.



Chong, who is also Bandar Kuching member of parliament, said Aziz was arrested under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Commission Act 1988.

Section 504 covers the offence of intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of public peace and is punishable with a maximum two-year jail term or a fine or both.
Section 233 (1) (a) of the CMA criminalises the intentional creation and transmission of derogatory communications material to hurt another.

“It is a big irony that on this Malaysia Day, the rights of the people to comment against our political leaders is so much suppressed as if there are no rights of expression amongst the rakyat,” he wrote on his Facebook page.

He said it is a shame that the administration of the country has to resort to the police oppression to suppress the voices of dissents.

Chong, who accompanied Aziz to the Kuching district police headquarters at Simpang Tiga, claimed that the police have refused a lawyer to be allowed to accompany Aziz while his statement is being recorded.

Dr Kelvin Yii, another Chong’s special assistant, told Malay Mail Online that Aziz was called by the police to come to the district police headquarters saying that there was a warrant of arrest for him.

“I don’t know who lodged the report against Aziz and for which posting on the Facebook,” he said, adding that he also accompanied Aziz to the district police headquarters.

At Press time, Aziz is still at the One Stop Centre at the district police headquarters where the police are taking down his statement.

In last year’s state election, Aziz stood in Batu Kitang and lost to Lo Khere Chiang of the Barisan Nasional.

Happy 54TH Malaysia Day - 16 September 2017







Happy 54th #Malaysia Day, children of #Sarawak!!! Keep the spirit of #UNITY burning and soar to #victoryUphold what is rightfully ours and reap the fruits of our soil! Alone, we are only a drop. But #TOGETHER, we are a mighty ocean!


Selamat Hari Malaysia kepada anda semua, penduduk kawasan Batu Kitang yang sememangnya tidak pernah lekang di hati…

Pada hari ini, 54 tahun yang lampau, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu telah bergabung dengan Sarawak, Sabah, dan Singapura untuk membentuk apa yang kita lihat hari ini sebagai Malaysia. Mungkin ada di antara kita yang masih keliru dengan laungan yang seringkali berbeza, contohnya  Hari Malaysia, Hari Sarawak, ataupun Hari Kebangsaan. Di sini, saya ingin memperjelaskan dan menghuraikan sedikit sebanyak berkenaan perbezaan maksud di atas. 

31 Ogos, 1957 adalah hari kemerdekaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu daripada jajahan British. Inilah yang dipanggil Hari Kebangsaan. Pada masa tersebut, Malaysia masih belum wujud lagi, malah Sarawak pun masih di bawah jajahan British. Jadi, boleh juga kita fikirkan sendiri, apakah nilainya tarikh ini kepada Sarawak…?

22 Julai, 1963 adalah Hari Kemerdekaan Sarawak. Sarawak telah diberikan hak berkerajaan sendiri dan dilepaskan daripada jajahan British. Maksudnya, Sarawak telah merdeka pada 22.7.1963. Masa itu juga, Ketua Menteri Sarawak yang pertama, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan telah dilantik dengan 5 orang menteri kabinet nya. Tetapi kemerdekaan Sarawak tidak kekal lama. Hanya untuk dua bulan sahaja…

Selepas itu, pada 16 September, 1963… kita telah membentuk Malaysia, melalui Perjanjian Malaysia 1963. Satu perjanjian yang membela keistimewaan dan hak rakyat Sarawak dan Sabah. Satu perjanjian yang mesti kita, sebagai anak jati Sarawak, perjuangkan demi tanahair dan ibu pertiwi Sarawak.

Hidupkan semarak api yang membara di jiwa kita. Demi masa depan generasi baru dan demi Sarawak yang tercinta.
Selamat Hari Malaysia yang ke-54.

罗克强:廉正操守难建立 贪念能毁于瞬间



●巴达旺市议会签署廉正宣言仪式后,各部门官员大合照。
(本报古晋14日讯)巴达旺市议会主席罗克强强调,建立廉正的声誉需耗费数年时间,但却能在瞬间就毁于一旦,因此勿涉及违反廉正操守或危害声誉的犯罪活动。
罗克强在分享时也提到,“成就在达成后将随之离去,但廉正却是永恒的”,意味着廉正敦促着我们无时无刻做好本分及做对的事,毕竟做正确的事更需要勇气。
他今早出席巴达旺市议会签署廉正宣言仪式上,致词时如是指出。
“虽然有人因争夺权力而选择步上违反道德操守的捷径,但如此的行为将无法带来持久效应,因为此举不但对社会人士带来成功的假象,同时也将导致惨痛后果的发生,包括失去人与人之间的信任。”
