罗克强:8哩交汇处获批建高架桥 . 将舒缓交通拥堵问题


罗克强:8哩交汇处获批建高架桥 . 将舒缓交通拥堵问题

峇都吉当区议员罗克强在新闻发布会上,出示他去年与工程部长亚历山大会面及讲解8哩高架桥的迫切需要,并请求对方帮助。

(古晋28日讯)峇都吉当区议员拿督罗克强感谢工程部长拿督斯里亚历山大批准在8哩交汇处修建高架桥的项目,并表示,这项耗资4亿令吉的项目将能缓解人民每日面临交通拥堵的问题。

“拿督斯里(亚历山大)在6月24日宣布批准修建8哩高架桥后,无不让许多不得不使用这条唯一道路去上学和上班的人感到高兴和宽慰。”

罗克强今日在其服务中心召开新闻发布会时强调,他早在去年4月的砂议会上首次提出修建这座高架桥的必要性。在过去一年,他也曾多次提出此事,并要求实旦宾区国会议员张健仁在国会中支持该项目。

罗克强(左)去年5月在诗巫与亚历山大会面时,向对方提交在8哩建立高架桥的申请文件。

他称,张健仁不仅只字未提,甚至还发声明表示没有修建高架桥的必要,并建议巴达旺市议会主席陈开调整交通灯时间来舒缓沿线交通就足矣,此举令罗克强感到失望。

“张健仁没有在国会提出修建这座高架桥的要求,浪费了人民宝贵的时间,因为这是他作为民选议员的责任。”

罗克强说,他去年5月12日飞往诗巫与亚历山大会面,并向对方介绍8哩高架桥的迫切需要及请求对方帮助时,亚历山大认真听取其请求,并承诺将他的请求列为紧急优先事项。

他说,兴建8哩高架桥项目属于联邦项目,获批准已经是一个很大的障碍。无论如何,他坚信亚历山大将努力确保项目能获得及时和妥善实施。

此外,为了确保该地区的交通更加便利,罗克强指出,目前正在规划智轨列车(ART)站点,包括古晋国际机场、10哩及12哩,以改善这些地区的公共交通。

Gratitude for approval of RM400-mln interchange

Gratitude for approval of RM400-mln interchange


Lo shows photos of his meeting with Nanta last year

KUCHING: Datuk Ir Lo Khere Chiang expressed his gratitude to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi for approving the RM400 million interchange project for the Mile 8 area here.

The Batu Kitang assemblyman highlighted the severe traffic congestion during peak hours in the area.

Lo further explained that the traffic congestion results from the four-way intersection at Mile 8 still utilizing a traffic light system, despite it being a crucial intersection connecting Kota Samarahan, Kota Padawan, and the exit to Kuching city.

“I raised this issue once during the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) on April 18, 2023. Subsequently, on May 12, 2023, I flew to Sibu to meet with Nanta and briefed him on the urgent need for this interchange, requesting his assistance,” he stated.

“He attentively listened and promised to prioritize this request urgently. Finally, on June 24, he announced the approval of the project,” he added.

He made these statements during a press conference about the project at the Batu Kitang Service Centre on Friday morning (June 28).

“I sincerely hope that this flyover brings joy and relief to all road users who rely on this route for daily commutes to school, work, or the city,” he expressed.

When asked about the project’s commencement date, Lo mentioned that several consultations and discussions with consultants and contractors were needed to determine who would be best suited for the job.

“Since obtaining approval for this project took us at least one year, the process was quite tedious. However, once we have everything in place, we will inform the public about the date,” he assured.

On another note, he questioned why Padungan MP Chong Chieng Jen stated in his statement that the interchange project would be unnecessary, suggesting instead that the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) Chairman Tan Kai adjust the timing of the traffic lights to alleviate the congestion at Mile 8.

“He wasted the people’s valuable time by not raising this interchange request in Parliament, which is his responsibility as an elected parliamentarian,” he said.

Earlier reports mentioned that Nanta stated the construction project for the interchange would commence next year if preliminary work could be completed by the end of this year.

Upon being alerted to the congestion issue, he, along with the Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR), held a meeting with Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and his deputy Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas to address the matter.

He explained that he proposed the construction of an interchange in the area to facilitate smooth vehicular movement, especially during peak hours.

“Initially, the Mile 8 roundabout was not part of the Pan Borneo Highway project, but it now experiences severe congestion throughout the day. Therefore, when we presented and proposed this, it was agreed upon by the Premier, who instructed us to prioritise the issue at Batu 8,” he concluded.

KUCHING: Pembinaan persimpangan jejambat di Batu 8, Jalan Penrissen diberi keutamaan segera oleh Kementerian Kerja Raya.

Adun Batu Kitang Datuk Lo Khere Chiang berkata, beliau ke Sibu pada Mei tahun lalu berjumpa Menteri Kerja Raya Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, memaklumkan pembinaan segera jejambat tersebut.

Katanya, Nanta berjanji permohonan tersebut diberi keutamaan segera oleh kementeriannya.

“Pada 24 Jun 2024, Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi mengumumkan kelulusan jejambat ini dan memberi kelegaan kepada ramai pengguna jalan raya yang menggunakan jalan ini untuk ke sekolah dan ke tempat kerja setiap hari,” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Sehubungan itu, Khere Chiang berterima kasih kepada Alexander kerana meluluskan permohonan tersebut.

Katanya, beliau sebelum ini membangkitkan permohonan tersebut pada sidang DUN pada April tahun lalu dan sekali lagi pada April dan Mei tahun yang sama.

Pada masa yang sama, beliau menggesa Ahli Parlimen Stampin Chong Chieng Jen memohon pembinaan jejambat tersebut di Parlimen.

Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata, Chieng Jen dalam kenyataan akhbarnya sebelum ini berkata kemungkinan tiada keperluan membina jejambat tersebut.

Tambahnya, sebelum ini Chieng Jen berpandangan yang perlu dilakukan ialah melaraskan masa lampu isyarat bagi menyelesaikan kesesakan lalu lintas di persimpangan Batu 8.

KUCHING, June 28: Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang expressed his gratitude to Works Minister Dato Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi for approving the proposed construction of a flyover at Mile 8, estimated to cost RM400 million, to resolve the daily traffic congestion faced by the people.

Lo emphasised that the recent approval announcement by Nanta has brought joy and relief to many who use this road to send their children to school and commute to work daily.

“This is a federal project, and getting it approved is already a big hurdle. But I am sure it is in the good hands of Dato Sri (Nanta), who will ensure its proper implementation,” he said during a press conference at the Batu Kitang service centre in Mile 6 today.

Lo highlighted that he first brought up the need for this flyover in April last year during the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) Sitting. He raised the matter several more times over the past year, while urging Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen to advocate for the project in Parliament.

However, he expressed disappointment with Chong, who is also the Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak chairman, for never raising the issue. Instead, Chong believed the flyover was unnecessary and suggested adjusting traffic light timings to smooth traffic flow along the route.

Lo thus questioned the sincerity of the DAP, which is a partner in the unity government, in looking after Sarawak’s interests. 

“In May last year, I met with Dato Sri (Nanta) in Sibu to request his assistance and briefed him about the urgent need for the flyover, which he promised to put the request an urgent priority,” he said. 

On Monday (June 24), Nanta stated that an interchange will be built at Mile 8 Jalan Kuching-Serian to faciliate vehicle movement and address traffic congestion, especially during the peak hours.

He said the project is expected to cost RM400 million and take three years to complete, scheduled to commence next year if preliminary works can be done by the end of this year.

To ensure greater mobility in the area, Lo also noted that autonomous rapid transit (ART) stops are being planned, including in Kuching International Airport and Mile 10, to enhance public transportation in this part of the city. — DayakDaily

Batu Kitang rep: Let S’wak tourism ministry handle State tourism matters

Batu Kitang rep: Let S’wak tourism ministry handle State tourism matters



Dato Lo Khere Chiang

By DayakDaily Team

KUCHING, June 25: The Sarawak Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts (MTCP) can handle regional tourism well and understands Sarawak better than anyone, says Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang.

With tourism matters currently under the Federal List, he noted the issuance of all licences related to tourism including homestays and tour buses requires the federal government’s approval, which he viewed as absurd.

He also noted Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) agents need to go through vetting and regulation processes by the Federal Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) again after their licences expire.

“Valid licences were issued by MOTAC in the first place. They should only penalise those who break its rules, not penalising all industry players in Sarawak by revoking their licences regardless of compliance.

“Additionally, the Sarawak MM2H programme also has its own unique conditions separate from those in Malaya (West Malaysia).

“The mishandling of this issue could seriously harm the economy as MM2H participants contribute billions in foreign exchange by buying houses, supporting education, and boosting local businesses,” said Lo in a statement on Monday (June 24).

Given the numerous issues with the MM2H programme, he opined it is appropriate to explore the implementation of separate tourism schemes, each tailored for West Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.

Lo was responding to the recent suspension of the MM2H programme in Sarawak and Sabah without consulting the Borneo States and MTCP Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah’s statement expressing his disappointment about this arrangement. — DayakDaily

连快熟面也偷 . 妇孺诊所进贼

(古晋18日讯)巴达旺一间妇孺诊所遭宵小潜入行窃,导致总值约3500令吉的器材等财物被偷,包括一批针筒、煤气桶、站立式风扇,热水器、水壶、收音机及扩音机、电饭锅及快熟面等。



最近,采访了超过百年以上的老会馆庆典活动,对于老会馆的存在、发展及发扬,有所深思。



在时代大趋势与变迁环境下,老会馆作为历史文化的传承地,承载着丰富的文化遗产和社会记忆。

然而,随着社会的发展,老会馆是否逐渐失去了对年轻人的吸引力?这倒是华社应该好好深思的问题。

其实,华人公会会馆生的存在运作价值,早已跟过去有所不同。当年祖辈来到南洋,创立公会会馆,宗旨就是为了照顾乡亲、宗亲同胞的福利。

来到这个年代,社团会馆存在的意义和运作与过去完全不同,甚至年轻人的缺乏热忱,确实产生“青黄不接”的局面。

提到公会会馆年轻人缺乏热忱的问题其实也非新鲜事,很多时候,年轻不参与社团会馆的原因,常常听到的理由是:“我们还在为事业打拼!没时间参与”、“这是老人家的公会”、“这不是我的兴趣”等等。这些普遍听到的理由,只会让公会会馆担忧后续是否还有人接棒?

不久前,就专访了中国潮汕著名学者林伦伦教授,他主讲 “老会馆,新征程”的讲座;深入思考今天历史悠久的会馆可以如何选择的方向,再造辉煌。

为了使老会馆焕发新的生机,吸引更多年轻人参与,公会会馆需采取有效的策略和措施至关重要,同时,也应积极探讨如何推动公会会馆,吸引年轻人的兴趣和参与。

这个年代,公会会馆除了传承文化,凝聚乡谊之外,也应该关注年轻人的需求,更接地气为年轻群体提供平台、福利、资讯及服务。

当今年轻群体,无论是在升学、创业、就业、生活、兴趣等都有不同的需求。一些老会馆的基础设施通常比较陈旧,甚至无法满足年轻人的需求。因此,进行现代化改造和设施更新以吸引年轻人,是有必要的。

年轻创业、就业需要人脉,公会会馆其实就是凝聚人脉的网络站。公会会馆若举办与年轻群体相关的活动,让年轻更有机会参与,甚至对公会会馆的服务给予认同感。

毕竟,活动是吸引年轻人走进老会馆的重要举措。通过举办多样化、具有创意的活动,可以提升会馆的吸引力。

年轻人是社交媒体和新媒体的主要用户。公会会馆利用这些平台进行宣传和互动,可以大大提升老会馆的知名度和吸引力。

无论如何,要推动公会会馆吸引年轻人,需要多方面的努力。

从现代化改造、丰富活动内容、利用新媒体、加强合作以及各种策略相结合,才能使老会馆焕发新的生机,成为年轻人喜爱和参与的文化场所。在这过程中,不仅可以传承和弘扬传统文化,还能为老会馆注入新活力,促进社会文化的多元发展。

只要公会会馆愿意为年轻群体做“对”的事,年轻人自然也会献身参与!

Unimas, youth group hold ‘Peace Walk’ for reconciliation BY GHAZ

Unimas, youth group hold ‘Peace Walk’ for reconciliation

Participants are seen during the ‘Peace Walk’ at Unimas.

KOTA SAMARAHAN (June 18): The International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) recently conducted a ‘Peace Walk’ with Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas).

Around 150 participants joined the walk themed ‘Communication for Global Citizenship of Reconciliation and Tolerance’ to promote global peace transcending boundaries of nationality and ethnicity.

“I find this event even more meaningful being held in Sarawak, where we can show the rest of Malaysia how we can live harmoniously with each other, despite coming from different religious and ethnic backgrounds,” said Batu Kitang assemblyman Datuk Lo Khere Chiang, who joined the programme.

“Let us be fair to everyone. Be more understanding and always show kindness, tolerance, and respect to everyone. Let us show the love and encouragement to all those around us.”

He later donated RM1,000 to the organiser.

IPYG is an affiliate of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), a United Nations (UN)-linked non-governmental organisation (NGO).

The event held at Unimas was in connection with HWPL’s ‘11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and Peace Walk’.

Other activities included yoga sessions as well as interactive booths run by various local NGOs, including Sarawak Eco Warrior.

Unimas student Ronieza Melah Francis said she truly enjoyed seeing genuine connections being formed among people from different backgrounds.

“It’s incredibly inspiring to see how shared goals and values can bring a diverse group of individuals together.

“Additionally, the creative and collaborative atmosphere at these events is always uplifting and motivating.”

Fellow student Muhammad Mokhlis Taipul Nizam added: “What stood out the most to me was the diverse group of people, Unimas students and those outside the campus, walking together.

“For me, it’s a heart-warming sight. Everyone was so supportive one another. This sense of community was the essence of this event.”

IPYG volunteer and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) student Sarawak Amy Qhayreena Maey Raffy said her ‘Peace Walk’ experience was “something fresh”.

“All the participants, volunteers, and members of the organising team were full of positive energy, despite the morning downpour.

“Actually, the rain was a blessing – it eased us with cool weather for our walk!

“My favourite part of the event, besides the walk itself, was the yoga session.”

HWPL’s flagship event this year began on May 25 at the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park in South Korea, which was sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs of Korea.

The ‘Peace Walk’ programme was carried in some 50 countries and included many activities such as performances, video screenings, photo exhibitions, poster drawings, sports and games, bazaars, opening of volunteering opportunities, tree-planting, and ‘tree hugs’ – all oriented towards the objectives of peace, unity, and environmental well-being.

“The ‘Peace Walk’ in Malaysia, alongside similar events worldwide, serves as a powerful reminder that peace is achieved through collective action.

“The HWPL and IPYG continue to champion the cause of global peace, advocating for reconciliation, tolerance, and unity across all borders.

“The successful commemoration in Kota Samarahan reflects the commitment of local communities to these global ideals, fostering hope for a more peaceful and united world,” the organiser said in a statement.

This annual event commemorates the 2013 ‘Proclamation of Declaration of World Peace’ at the Peace Gate in Seoul Olympic Park, with 30,000 global youths advocating peace.

Lo (tengah) menyampaikan sumbangan kepada salah seorang penerima daging korban sempena sambutan Hari Raya Aidiladha hari ini.

BAU: Sarawak sudah lama membudayakan amalan suka bantu-mambantu dan harus diteruskan sebagai teladan generasi seterusnya kata Dato Lo Khere Chiang hari ini.

Beliau yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Batu Kitang berkata demikian kepada pemberita sambil menambah bahawa bantuan yang diberikan itu datangnya daripada masyarakat yang majmuk.

"Saya perhatikan di kawasan saya apabila ada orang yang mengalami masalah, seperti rumah terbakar, apabila seseorang masuk hospital, orang kampung akan datang untuk membantu.

"Mereka yang lebih berkemampuan akan memberi lebih, mereka yang kurang berkemampuan akan memberi lebih sedikit dan semua orang berkumpul dan itu menjadikan hidup lebih mudah bagi orang yang berada dalam kesusahan.

"Semua orang turun membantu untuk masyarakat di kampung Bidayuh, juga kampung bagi masyarakat Iban atau kawasan yang didiami masyarakat Cina," katanya semasa pengagihan daging korban di Masjid Darul Ehsan di sini.

Agihan daging korban untuk golongan yang memerlukan itu diadakan sempena sambutan Hari Raya Aidiladha dan dihadiri penduduk dari Kampung Haji Baki A, B dan C.

Tambah beliau bantuan yang dihulurkan turut diberi sokongan daripada pihak kerajaan negeri yang tidak pernah lekang membantu golongan yang sangat memerlukan di sini. 

Lo juga telah mengagihkan sekitar 10 ekor lembu kepada tujuh kampung yang melakukan ibadah korban dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Batu Kitang.

Menyentuh mengenai tradisi menjalankan ibadah korban di sini, beliau katanya amat menyukai budaya masyarakat yang beragama Islam kerana agihan daging tersebut nanti akan diberikan kepada golongan yang kurang bernasib baik.

Beliau juga gembira kerana ada pihak yang turut menyumbang bagi tujuan ibadah korban tersebut menjadikan ia lima ekor lembu untuk dikorbankan bagi kampung berkenaan pada tahun ini.

Keep supporting each other, rep tells Batu Kitang folk

Keep supporting each other, rep tells Batu Kitang folk


Lo speaks to reporters at Darul Ehsan Mosque in Kampung Haji Baki in Kuching.

KUCHING (June 17): Batu Kitang assemblyman Datuk Lo Khere Chiang hopes that the people in his constituency will keep supporting each other, especially those in greatest need.

Lo said the practice of helping each other out is something valuable in Sarawak and should be perpetuated.

“Like in Kampung Haji Baki, whenever we find out someone is in need, like their house got burned down, we decide to help them rebuild their house.

“Those who are fortunate enough, they will help those who are less fortunate and it makes the process so much easier,” said Lo.

Lo said this when met by reporters during the sacrificial meat distribution at Darul Ehsan Mosque in Kampung Haji Baki here in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration today.

He also expressed his hope that Sarawakians will continue to nurture the practice of taking care of one another.

Regarding the event, Lo said that the practice has been an annual tradition, passed down through generations.

“I have donated two cows for Kampung Haji Baki and a total of eight cows for the other six villages under my constituency.

“And after the sacrifice, we will distribute the meat to all the people in the village as well,” he said.
