Lo Khere Chiang

KUCHING: Anda di pihak mana, Thailand atau Sarawak?

Itu soalan diajukan Lo Khere Chiang ke atas Ahli Parlimen Stampin, Chong Chieng Jen dan Ahli Parlimen Sibu, Oscar Ling yang tidak bersetuju dengan keputusan Kerajaan Sarawak untuk tidak memperbaharui lesen pengedaran Gas Petroleum Cecair (LPG) bersubsidi oleh Syarikat MYGAZ Sdn. Bhd. di Sarawak.

Lo yang merupakan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Batu Kitang, menyifatkan dua pemimpin Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) Sarawak itu jelas menunjukkan mereka menyokong MYGAZ iaitu anak Syarikat SIAM Gas, yang merupakan sebuah syarikat pembekal LPG dari Thailand.

“Kira-kira 60 peratus daripada rizab gas Malaysia adalah dari Sarawak, jadi mengapa perlu mengutamakan memperbaharui lesen bersubsidi untuk MyGaz apabila syarikat gas milik Kerajaan Sarawak, PetrosNiaga boleh menyumbang lebih kepada dana Sarawak?

“PetrosNiaga yang menawarkan harga yang kompetitif, memastikan keuntungan kekal dalam Sarawak untuk manfaat rakyat Sarawak berbanding MyGaz yang keuntungan mengalir keluar dari negara kita ke Thailand,” katanya menerusi satu kenyataan, hari ini.

Justeru, pemimpin dari Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) itu menegaskan agar Chong dan Oscar menggesa pemimpin mereka untuk memperuntukkan lebih banyak dana persekutuan kepada Sarawak, daripada secara konsisten membangkang keputusan Kerajaan Sarawak yang dilakukan demi rakyat Sarawak.

“Usaha mereka boleh ditujukan dengan lebih baik di parlimen untuk mendapatkan penambahan peruntukan bagi sektor penting seperti pendidikan, infrastruktur, penjagaan kesihatan dan tebatan banjir bagi Sarawak,” katanya.

Lo turut mempersoalkan sumbangan yang dilakukan oleh DAP Sarawak kepada Sarawak, yang kini sebahagian dalam sekutu Kerajaan Perpaduan.

Katanya, DAP Sarawak seharusnya memperjuangkan dan mengutamakan kemakmuran Sarawak, daripada sentiasa menembak, mencari kesalahan, membangkitkan sentimen dan memutar belit kebenaran semata-mata untuk mengekalkan relevansi sebagai pembangkang demi kelangsungan politik mereka.

Sebaliknya, beliau berkata DAP Sarawak hanya berdiam diri apabila Pulau Pinang dianugerahkan projek sistem Pengangkutan Aliran Ringan bernilai RM10 bilion yang dibiayai oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan.

“Pulau Pinang terkenal dengan sistem pengangkutan yang maju dengan dua stesen kereta api utama, terowong bawah laut bernilai RM6.3 bilion serta landasan kereta api funikular yang mengagumkan.

“Kini mereka memulakan sistem Pengangkutan Aliran Ringan bernilai RM10 bilion manakala Sarawak tidak mempunyai satu pun kereta api bahkan LRT. Di manakah DAP Sarawak, ia tidak kelihatan seperti mereka menyebelahi Sarawak,” katanya.

砂青统主席拿督斯里阿都卡林赞扬非穆斯林领导，积极参与其他民族的活动，并也在会上特别点名峇都吉当区州议员拿督罗克强，尤其其选区上有许多马来甘榜，因此，在举办任何活动时候懂得尊重他人

（古晋5日讯）砂青统主席拿督斯里阿都卡林赞扬非穆斯林领导，积极参与其他民族的活动，并也在会上特别点名峇都吉当区州议员拿督罗克强，尤其其选区上有许多马来甘榜，因此，在举办任何活动时候懂得尊重他人。

他说，本身喜欢这名州议员，由于其选区有很多马来甘榜，如果其活动在清真寺进行的话，当发现大家还在进行祈祷仪式，后者会安静在后头等候，且穿马来服饰出席。

他发现到，非穆斯林领导，包括华裔和土著在马来同胞在斋戒月期间，都很积极参与，为忙着为大家准备杂锦粥来分发给各位，这显示出多元民族的砂拉越和谐特色。

同样的，他提起，虽自己是穆斯林，但也曾是地区上的教堂建委会主席，并提供款项，作为发动有关建设工程。

阿都卡林今日在第17届砂青统会员大会上致词时认为，在砂拉越，这些都不成问题，遗憾的是，若在其他地方或会被人放大来看，甚至会被政治化。

他还提及，在罗东，清真寺和教堂设于两隔壁，穆斯林在周五进行祈祷，至于基督徒在周日要礼拜，所以，每当周五该教堂会开放停车场，然后周日清真寺则开放停车场，方便大家停放车辆。而这难得和谐精神值得大家维持下去。

支持外國公司非自家公司？ 羅克強質疑砂火箭忠誠度 罗克强质问砂火箭忠诚在哪?

罗克强质问砂火箭忠诚在哪?

by tanchokbui  December 5, 2023 in 砂州新闻

（古晋5日讯）实旦宾国会议员张健仁和诗巫国会议员林财耀最近就砂拉越选择不更新MyGaz（一家泰国公司）的补贴产品与液化石油气分销许可证一事表示反对，对此，人联党巴都吉当区议员拿督罗克强想要质问的是，他们是站在泰国一边还是砂拉越一边？

他说，值得注意的是，马来西亚60%的天然气储备来自砂拉越。然而，张氏和林氏却要支持一家外国公司MyGaz。

罗克强进一步说，MyGaz是暹罗液化石油气公共有限公司的子公司，该公司在泰国证券交易所上市，将补贴的液化石油气卖回砂拉越，利润流出我国流回泰国。

“为什么你们支持续签MyGaz的分销许可证，而不是支持砂拉越的国有天然气公司PetrosNiaga? 砂拉越的国有天然气公司将为砂拉越的收入做出更大贡献，PetrosNiaga以具有竞争力的价格，确保利润留在砂拉越境内，造福砂拉越人民。

”

遗憾的是，他说砂民主行动党的立场似乎一贯主张不断使用砂拉越的资金，而不是为砂拉越人争取，并敦促他们的马来亚老板向砂拉越分配更多联邦拨款。

罗克强认为，张氏和林氏可以在国会，代表砂拉越寻求增加关键领域（如教育、基础设施、医疗和防洪）的拨款。

他说，在砂拉越总理阿邦佐哈里的领导下，砂拉越取得了显著的进步，这体现在不断增加的预算和发展策略举措上。Petros负责石油和天然气业务，旨在重新夺回砂拉越的权利，通过PetrosNiaga广泛的网络创造就业机会。

“我有些问题需要问张林，除了维护联邦利益之外，砂拉越民主行动党还做出了哪些贡献？砂拉越民主行动党应该优先倡导砂拉越的繁荣，反而砂拉越民主行动党不断“攻击”、“挑剔”、“找茬”、“泼冷水”、“煽动情绪”和“歪曲事实”的倾向，仅仅是为了维持作为反对派的“存在感”，以获得廉价的政治宣传。”

罗克强说，归根结底，我们不都是砂拉越人吗？我们难道不希望看到砂拉越在被马来亚夺走那么多财富之后能够发展壮大吗？

这也不禁要问：为什么砂拉越人仍然支持一个马来亚政党，该政党必须服从马来亚的党路线，并向其在马来亚的行动党老板交代？

当槟城获得另一个数十亿美元的项目以建造另一条铁路时，砂拉越民主行动党会为砂拉越争取一条铁路吗？槟城以其发达的交通系统而闻名，拥有两个主要火车站、一个价值63亿令吉的海底隧道和一座令人印象深刻的缆车铁路。

他表示，现在，他们正在着手建设一个由联邦政府资助的价值100亿令吉的轻轨运输系统，而砂拉越没有一条铁路可言，也没有轻轨铁路可言。砂拉越民主行动党的忠诚在哪里？无论在哪里，它似乎都不站在砂拉越一边。

Batu Kitang rep calls on Asadia to preserve ancient tradition of ‘periuk tanah’

Lo (centre) hits the ‘gendang pampat’ after receiving it as a token of appreciation for attending the event. Also seen are (from left) Mabong and Sidi.

KUCHING (Dec 3): The Academy of Sarawak Dayak Iban (Asadia) should preserve the ancient tradition of Iban pottery, known as ‘periuk tanah’ (earthen pot) to ensure the longevity of this cultural treasure, said Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang.

Citing research from the Sarawak Museum, which was published in ‘The Sarawak Museum Journal Volume 10, No 19/20, 1962, Lo said the earthen pot that existed 40,000 years ago is very similar to that used by the Iban community today.

“It is my hope that Asadia will persist in advocating and bequeathing the uniqueness of Dayak arts and culture, so that these unique artistic expressions do not fade into oblivion with the passage of time.

“Therefore, Asadia needs to organise ceramic classes to preserve one of the unique aspects of Iban culture, which is the art of crafting periuk tanah,” he said in his speech at the Asadia Cultural Classes Graduation Night held at the Dayak Bidayuh National Association (DBNA) hall here last night.

Recognising Asadia’s efforts to revive and promote Dayak culture, Lo believe that Asadia can move more actively and attract the interest of the youth to learn Dayak culture, as well as participation of those from the Malay and Chinese communities.

“This indirectly helps to maintain Dayak identity, steering the youth away from negative activities and crimes, fostering unity and harmony in Sarawak society,” he said.

Lo also underscored the economic potential of Asadia’s initiatives, stating that the skills acquired from Asadia can be marketed as tourism and business products.

“Traditional arts like tabuh, sape, belikan, and skills in decorative arts and crafts can attract international tourists.

“For example, craft products such as Bunga Jarau experience high demand during celebrations, serving as decorations in government complexes, private spaces, and shopping centres,” he said.

The event witnessed the presentation of certificates to some 200 participants of various age and races who had just completed their traditional Iban dances course, art of self-defence, traditional music and Iban oral tradition.

Also present were Sarawak Dayak Iban Association (Sadia) president Sidi Munan and Asadia head cum organising chairman Mabong Unggang

KUCHING (Dec 4): Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang visited an injured Civil Defence Force (APM) volunteer member at his residence today.

Mohd Syafiq Ali Hanafiah is recovering from severe burns sustained after he tried to save a six-year-old caught in a fire that involved five houses at Lorong 16, RPR Batu Kawa earlier in August.

However, his efforts were in vain as the child tragically perished in the fire.

As a result of the incident, he suffered 75 per cent burns to his body.

Nonetheless, Lo regards Mohd Syafiq as a hero.

Batu Kitang rep says trans-Borneo railway will boost development in S'wak, Sabah

SHARON LING

KUCHING: The Federal Government should seriously consider building a Trans-Borneo Railway to accelerate development and provide alternative public transport for Sarawak and Sabah, says a Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) backbencher.

Batu Kitang assemblyman Datuk Lo Khere Chiang said Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg had been pushing for the proposal to go through and Transport Minister Anthony Loke had agreed to a feasibility study.

"However, we would like to emphasise the need for prompt and tangible action, not just carrying out years of feasibility studies which could be flushed down the drain any time there is a change of government," he said when debating the budget speech in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Wednesday (Nov 22).

Lo said it was high time for the Federal Government to recognise the need for a Trans-Borneo Railway linking Sabah and Sarawak to Brunei and Indonesia as both states were lagging behind Peninsular Malaysia in road and rail transportation.

"The railway project is of utmost importance to boost Sarawak's economy. Indonesia is already improving its railway system in Kalimantan and if Sarawak is not doing it, we stand to lose a great deal," he said.

Besides connecting cities across Borneo, Lo said the railway could also provide access to the interior for mining operations and transportation of raw materials.

He said this would speed up the development of rural areas of Sarawak and Sabah.

"The Federal Government cannot give lame excuses such as low population density in Sarawak and Sabah and non-profitability and try to shelve the proposal based on these excuses.

"Implementing public transport such as the one and only railway network in Sarawak should not be considered for profit but as an investment by the Federal Government to improve the region's wider economy," he said.

Lo also said the railway was estimated to cost RM63.3bil, less than the RM110bil estimated for the proposed Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project.

"Because Sarawak contributes RM80bil annually to the national coffers, the KL-Singapore railway project should be set aside for now to ensure that the Trans-Borneo Railway takes precedence," he added.

Batu Kitang rep: Amendment Bill gives Petros 100 pct control over gas distribution in S’wak

November 22, 2023, Wednesday at 6:23 PM

Lo Khere Chiang

KUCHING (Nov 22): The Distribution of Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023 serves as a crucial step towards ensuring a more efficient, equitable and sustainable distribution of natural gas in Sarawak, said Dato Lo Khere Chiang (GPS-Batu Kitang).

This, he said, will establish a new role of gas aggregator, Petros, which will be responsible for procuring gas from various sources and supplying it to distribution companies.

“This will help break the monopoly of current gas suppliers under Petronas and provide consumers in Sarawak with more choice and greater control over our own energy resources,” he said in his debate on the Distribution of Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023 at the august House here Tuesday.

With the amendment of the Bill, Lo said this reaffirms Petros’ position and ensures that the distribution of gas will be done 100 per cent by the state.

As the appointment of Gas Aggregator is a key provision of the Bill, he said the aggregator will be responsible for procuring gas from various sources, including domestic producers, importers and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

“They will also be responsible for negotiating gas prices with suppliers and ensuring that consumers get a fair deal,” he added.

He said the Bill will also promote the development of the domestic gas industry. This includes encouraging investment in gas exploration, production and transportation, as well as supporting the development of downstream gas-based industries, such as petrochemicals and fertilisers.

“Thanks to Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg that we are able to come this far today by promoting the development of Sarawak’s domestic gas industry and today we have complete rights over the distribution of gas in Sarawak.

“This Bill will most certainly create jobs, boost economic growth and diversify Sarawak’s economy,” he said.

Jerip: Sarawak govt conducting due diligence on MASWings as part of takeover bid

The Sarawak state government is currently conducting due diligence on MASWings Sdn Bhd in preparation for its acquisition, the Sarawak state legislative assembly was told today (November 23). - NSTP/MOHD ADAM ARININ

KUCHING: The Sarawak state government is currently conducting due diligence on MASWings Sdn Bhd in preparation for its acquisition, the Sarawak state legislative assembly was told today (November 23). 

State Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said negotiations are also ongoing with Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) and Khazanah Nasional Bhd to acquire the shares in MASWings.

"The takeover will be in stages and the operation of the Sarawak-owned airline will only commence once the whole takeover process is completed and finalised," he said in a reply to Lo Khere Chiang (GPS-Batu Kitang) who wanted to know when Sarawak's own airline will start operating.

On October 27, Sarawak-owned company Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd and MAG inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expedite the acquisition of the shares in MASWings for the management of rural air services.

Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg had said the MoU will pave the way for detailed discussions between both parties to ensure that the state acquires the majority stake in the airline.

Hornbill Skyways, which has been operating air charter services in Sarawak since 1977, was mandated to take over the ownership of MASWings and operate rural air services in Sarawak and Sabah.

Abang Johari said the state government aims to make Kuching the airline's main hub and expand the carrier's routes to regional destinations, including Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and India.

However, he said MASWings would not be profit-oriented as the aim of the expansion is to serve the people. — BERNAMA

Dr Jerip: Sarawak’s airline will only start operations once takeover process is completed

November 23, 2023, Thursday at 11:29 AM

Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said the state’s takeover of MASWings will be carried out in stages.

KUCHING (Nov 23): The operations of Sarawak’s own airline will only commence once the whole takeover process is completed and finalised, said Datuk Dr Jerip Susil.

The Deputy Transport Minister said the state’s takeover of MASWings will be carried out in stages.

“The Memorandum of Understanding between the Sarawak government, Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd and Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) was signed on Oct 27, 2023.

“In this regard, the Sarawak government is in the process of conducting due diligence on MASWings Sdn Bhd and negotiating with MAG and Khazanah Nasional Berhad to acquire the shares in MASWings,” he said.

Dr Jerip said this in response to a question from Dato Lo Khere Chiang (GPS-Batu Kitang) during the question-and-answer session at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Sitting here today.

To a supplementary question from Lo on the purpose of an MoU signed by the Sarawak government with the federal government on July 20, Dr Jerip said the MoU was for the acquisition of Rural Air Services (RAS) by the state government.

“Through this MoU, the federal government has given their assurance to continue the RAS subsidy and the acquisition of RAS by the Sarawak government will not affect the rural air services on all existing RAS routes as stipulated in the RAS agreement,” he said.

He said based on the Malaysian Aviation Commission Act 2015 (Act 771), a total of 40 routes were approved as RAS routes.

“These included 30 routes for internal Sarawak; six routes for internal Sabah; and four routes for interstate Sarawak and Sabah,” he added.

Put aside KL-S’pore HSR project and build Trans-Borneo Railway instead, Lo tells Putrajaya

November 22, 2023, Wednesday at 2:26 PM

Lo said it was high time the federal government recognised the need to have a Trans-Borneo Railway to accelerate development and provide an alternative public transport option for Sarawak and Sabah.

KUCHING (Nov 22): Dato Lo Khere Chiang (GPS-Batu Kitang) has urged Putrajaya to put aside the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project and build the Trans-Borneo Railway linking Sabah and Sarawak to Brunei and Indonesia instead.

He said it was high time the federal government recognised the need to have a Trans-Borneo Railway to accelerate development and provide an alternative public transport option for Sarawak and Sabah.

“Our visionary leader, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has been pushing for this proposal to go through and the federal Transport Minister has agreed to a feasibility study.

“However, we would like to emphasise the need for prompt and tangible action, not just the carrying out of years of feasibility studies, which could be flushed down the drain again and again anytime there is a change of government,” he said when debating the 2024 State Budget at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Sitting here today.

He told the august House that the Trans-Borneo Railway project is estimated to cost RM63.3 billion while the HSR between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore has been estimated to cost RM110 billion.

“This Kuala Lumpur-Singapore railway only serves to bring added comfort to elite travellers.

“I hope our Stampin MP (Chong Chieng Jen) can remind our federal Transport Minister that because Sarawak contributes RM80 billion annually to the national coffers, the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore railway project should be set aside for now and ensure that the Trans-Borneo Railway takes precedence,” he said.

Lo said the railway project is of utmost importance to boost Sarawak’s economy.

“Indonesia is already improving its railway transport in Kalimantan and if Sarawak is not doing it, we stand to lose a great deal.

“In addition to connecting cities around Borneo Island, it can also provide access to the interior for mining operations and transportation of raw materials, thereby speeding up the development of the rural areas of Sarawak and Sabah,” he said adding that rail is a smart, sustainable and efficient way to move freight and people.

He hoped that the federal government will not try to shelve the proposal based on their “lame excuses” such as low population density in East Malaysia and non-profitability.

“Implementing public transport such as the one and only railway network in Sarawak should not be considered for profits at all, but as an investment by the federal government to improve the region’s wider economy.

“It is time to give back to Sarawak what is rightfully ours after 60 years of independence,” he remarked.

聯邦拖延維修砂殘校 羅克強促歸還教育自主權

罗克强盼能尽快向联邦索回砂教育自主权.

分享分享

（本报古晋22日讯）人联党巴都吉当区议员罗克强指出，联邦政府在砂拉越残旧学校急需维修课题上一直拖延。因此，当务之急是将教育自主权归还给砂拉越，以便尽快解决这些紧迫的问题，特别是这攸关学生和教师安全。

他说，联邦教育部副部长在回答实旦宾区国会议员提问时证实，教育部在发放残旧学校维修资金方面进展缓慢，砂拉越共有462所残旧学校需要获得即刻关注，但只有其中11所学校将在2024年获得维修。按照目前此进度，联邦团结政府需要耗时42年时间，才能维修砂拉越所有残旧学校。

罗克强说，联邦教育部在2016年至2023年期间，仅花费25亿令吉，而砂拉越的总理于2020年至2023年期间，在砂拉越教育事务上就花费27亿令吉。

所以，现在是时候将教育自主权及资金立即归还给砂拉越，以便我们能马上维修我们的学校，并决定自己的教育课程大纲。

罗克强今天在砂议会参与辩论财政预算案时坦言，当砂拉越索回教育自主权后，砂拉越不再需要遵循联邦政府朝夕令改的教育政策，如从英语至国语不断转变。

他说，多年来，这些优柔寡断的联邦教育政策，给学生和家长带来很大困惑，导致学业成绩严重下降。

在2020年，砂拉越政府根据总理指示采取重大举措，注资1千100万令吉在砂拉越所有小学实施英语教授数学及科学计划。这项投资至关重要，因为它提高学生对这些科目的熟练程度，使他们与全球标准保持一致。

“这些领域的英语熟练程度不仅有利于国际交流，而且还为学生在日益发达的科技世界中，开拓更广泛教育和职业机会。我们很幸运有一位致力于维护砂拉越使用英语权利的总理。然而，我也鼓励各族砂拉越人努力提高国语熟练程度，因为这是我们的国语，也是我们必须尊重，可团结马来西亚各族的语言。”
