DOA

PEMASYHURAN DARIPADA TUAN SPEAKER

Tuan Speaker: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, selamat pagi dan salam sejahtera. Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, I have granted leave of absence under Standing Order 81 to Yang Berhormat Encik Dennis Ngau, Honourable Member for Telang Usan for today’s sitting. YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil: Tuan Speaker, point of order, Standing Order 32(6). “No member shall impute improper motives to any other member or make any statement or allegation which the said member is not prepared to substantiate”.

Tuan Speaker, I would like to refer to the Hansard for today on record of our speeches for yesterday, page 34, whereby the Honourable Member for Kota Sentosa, he is not here today but I would like to refer the speeches made by him yesterday, page 34. Whereby he says in reply to the Speaker yesterday, “I know he is on your side, he is working together with PBB lah but as far as SUPP, PRS, PDP is concerned I don’t know, are they going for your neck, be careful. But he is working with PBB anyway, okay”.

Tuan Speaker, I feel that this statement should not be here in this Hansard and therefore I

strongly demand that it should be expunge from this Hansard because of its nature, it is inflammatory. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Will one Minister, but it is already here. It’s already in the Hansard, how do you expunge? YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil: He has to withdraw the statement, Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker: It’s already here. Unless the Honourable Ministers put a Motion. It’s already here you can’t expunge it, if it is brought up yesterday, then damage can be prevented. This one damage has been done might as well have a Motion whereby one Minister to propose the other one, Assistant Minister to second that if he doesn’t withdraw, then you suggest what step to be taken. YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil: I stand guided on this, Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker: Ya. Because it’s already printed in the Hansard, damage has been done. Ahli Yang Berhormat Ir Aidel Bin Lariwoo, Sadong Jaya.

Penyelesaian Tanah Adat Mahkamah Bumiputera (155) YB Encik Yussibnosh Balo bertanya kepada Ketua Menteri: Mahkamah Bumiputera memainkan peranan penting dalam kes-kes berkaitan dengan adat dan penyelesaian tanah adat di Sarawak.

1) Berapakah bilangan majistret di Mahkamah Bumiputera Sarawak? 2) Berapakah jumlah keseluruhan kes yang telah dan belum diselesaikan mengikut tahun?

Menteri Muda Undang-Undang Adat Bumiputera (YB Datuk John Sikie Anak Tayai): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Untuk makluman yang Berhormat bagi Tellian, bilangan majistret di mahkamah bumiputera Sarawak sekarang adalah seramai 72 orang. Majistret-majistret ini mengendalikan kes-kes sivil seperti kes pertikaian atas tanah adat Bumiputera yang sah. Terdapat dua kategori majistret di Mahkamah Bumiputera Sarawak iaitu:-

(a) Kategori pertama ialah mereka yang dilantik secara kontrak dari tahun ke tahun. Majistret-majistret ini terdiri daripada seorang Presiden, Mahkamah Bumiputera Rayuan Presiden, Native Courts of Appeal, dua orang majistret Mahkamah Bumiputera Presiden dan 17 orang Majistret Mahkamah Bumiputera Daerah.


3

(b) Sementara kategori kedua ialah seramai 52 orang ex-officio pelantikan automatik atas jawatan yang disandang yang terdiri daripada 12 orang Residen bahagian, atau Majistret Mahkamah Residen Bahagian yang kita panggil Resident Native Courts Magistrate dan 40 orang Pegawai Daerah iaitu Magistrate Mahkamah Bumiputera Daerah atau District Native Court Magistrate.

Jumlah keseluruhan kes di bawah bidang kuasa majistret yang telah dan belum diselesaikan

setakat 28 Februari 2019 adalah seperti berikut:- Bagi kes tuntutan sivil, terdapat 4,684 kes telah didaftar. Daripada jumlah itu, 2,370 kes atau

50.6% telah diselesaikan. Sementara kes yang belum diselesaikan adalah sebanyak 2,314 atau 49.4%.

Dan yang kedua bagi kes permohonan untuk dikendali sebagai komuniti bumiputera di bawah

bidang kuasa Mahkamah Bumiputera Residen, jumlah permohonan yang didaftar adalah sebanyak 1,657 kes. Daripada jumlah ini, 269 kes atau 16.2% telah diselesaikan dan 1,388 atau 83.7% sedang dan dalam proses untuk diselesaikan.

YB Encik Yussibnosh Balo: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat Menteri Muda atas jawapan yang telah diberikan. Saya melihat kepada peranan Mahkamah Bumiputera ini yang begitu penting terutamanya dalam keadaan Bumiputera Sarawak yang pada masa sekarang telah banyak pertikaian yang masih belum diselesaikan, kalau mengikut Yang Berhormat Menteri Muda tadi. Dan memandangkan banyak kes yang berkaitan dengan tuntutan sivil dan kes-kes lain yang berkaitan ini di bawah bidang Mahkamah Bumiputera yang belum diselesaikan.

1) Apakah rancangan Mahkamah Bumiputera untuk menyelesaikan hampir 50% daripada kes ini yang belum selesai?

2) Di pihak Kerajaan Negeri iaitu Kerajaan GPS yang ada sekarang, apakah rancangan

kerajaan untuk menyokong Mahkamah Bumiputera dalam pelbagai perkara yang tersebut?

Terima kasih. Menteri Muda Undang-Undang Adat Bumiputera (YB Datuk John Sikie Anak Tayai): Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat dari Tellian. Jadi, saya menjawab soalan sekaligus, untuk dua soalan. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat dari Tellian, Kerajaan GPS Sarawak telah membuat keputusan agar satu kajian menyeluruh dibuat untuk mengkaji semua struktur dan menaik taraf Mahkamah Bumiputera Sarawak supaya ianya menjadi satu institusi perundangan yang bebas dan berautonomi setanding dengan Mahkamah Sivil dan Mahkamah Syariah.

Terma rujukan bagi kajian sudah selesai dibuat dan Kerajaan telah melantik Jawatankuasa Pemandu dan Jawatankuasa Teknikal untuk memastikan kajian dijalankan mengikut terma, rujukan dan hasil kajian memenuhi objektif dan hasrat Kerajaan Sarawak. Perundingan, Juru Perunding akan dilantik sedikit masa lagi. Terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Awla Bin Dris, Simunjan.

Kursus Singkat dan Latihan untuk Penduduk Luar Bandar (156) YB Encik Awla Bin Dris bertanya kepada Menteri Kebajikan, Kesejahteraan Komuniti, Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Kanak-Kanak: Adakah Kerajaan merancang untuk mengadakan kursus-kursus singkat dan latihan seperti yang diadakan di Wisma Wanita dibawakan ke kawasan luar bandar termasuk di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan? Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker, “Lemak masin si kicap Thong Nam, soalan saya nombor 156.


4

Tuan Speaker: Kali ini bukan, “di bawah pokok ada tiger ah” Menteri Muda Wanita, Keluarga Dan Pembangunan Kanak-Kanak (YB Puan Hajah Rosey Binti Haji Yunus): Tuan Speaker, saya tidak pandai berpantun jadi tak bolehlah jawab pantun itu, tapi soalan boleh dijawab, Tuan Speaker.

Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Simunjan, Kementerian melalui Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak (JWKS), sentiasa mengutamakan wanita dan ibu tunggal yang berkeperluan dan kerana itu pemerkasaan wanita merupakan tema objektif utama bagi Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak, terutama dalam bidang kemahiran dan juga ekonomi. Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak menyediakan beberapa kursus iaitu Kulinari, Kecantikan, Spa dan Urut dan juga jahitan Kreatif di Wisma Wanita Training Centre di Kuching. Dan untuk jahitan kreatif “is not talking about” jahitan biasa ianya berupa anyaman dan juga jahitan yang selain daripada cerita menjahit bajulah, jahitan kreatif.

Untuk memperluaskan capaian ke kawasan luar bandar khususnya, Jabatan Wanita dan

Keluarga Sarawak sebelum ini mengadakan beberapa kursus yang dinamakan Kursus Mega, telah diadakan di beberapa kawasan di Sarawak. Jadi mulai tahun ini Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak mengadakan kursus-kursus secara “pocket training” berbentuk “focus group woman skill training” untuk seramai 25 orang peserta setiap kumpulan. Objektifnya tetap sama iaitu untuk melatih para wanita khususnya golongan ibu tunggal, wanita berpendapatan rendah dan juga dalam kalangan suri rumah.

Selain daripada itu, Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak juga menyediakan kursus ICT for

IT, untuk para ibu tunggal. Ini bertujuan agar mereka dapat menguasai asas ICT untuk dapat mengusahakan perniagaan secara online. Amat difahami juga bahawa salah satu daripada kekangan perniagaan di kalangan golongan ini ialah modal kewangan. Kerana itu Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri Sarawak telah meluluskan RM500,000.00 pada tahun 2018, dan RM1juta untuk tahun ini, bagi tujuan “starter kit” ataupun untuk “up-scale” perniagaan mereka. Setiap pemohon yang berjaya akan mendapat bantuan peralatan perniagaan bernilai RM5,000.00 “and of course we are indeed very thankful to Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri and the GPS Government” kerana ianya membantu “especially our ladies to start up their business as a starter kit, and of course to some for them to scale up their business”. Terima kasih. YB Encik Awla Bin Dris: (Soalan Tambahan) Tuan Speaker dan terima kasih. Tuan Speaker, Sarawakian, Sabahan, saya ada soalan tambahan.

1) Berapa lamakah kursus-kursus yang diadakan di Wisma Wanita? 2) Bagaimana boleh mengukur kejayaan peserta-peserta yang telah mengikuti kursus

tersebut? Terima kasih.

Menteri Muda Wanita, Keluarga Dan Pembangunan Kanak-Kanak (YB Puan Hajah Rosey Binti Haji Yunus): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker, Sarawakian, Sabahan ini jawapan soalan tambahan.

Untuk tempoh kursus yang diadakan di Wisma Wanita, hanya selama dua hari tapi untuk

kursus ICT for IT, iaitu ICT untuk golongan ibu tunggal adalah empat hari. Kemudian di samping itu, kita juga ada beberapa success stories sebenarnya hanya untuk golongan wanita ini dan ada juga yang bertanya macam mana tahu mereka ini boleh berjaya dalam kursus-kursus yang dikendalikan oleh Jabatan Wanita kita.

So salah satu daripada cara untuk mendapat tahu “success stories” mereka adalah daripada

borang kajian graduan di WWTC dan yang kedua Koordinator Jabatan Wanita dan Keluarga Sarawak bersama dengan pihak vendor akan mengadakan Mesyuarat Penyelarasan WWTC sebab


5

ada juga yang memperlekehkan, mengatakan, “what are your success stories? Actually, we do have success stories for the graduan-graduan. If I can mention a few, one of them is Puan Rauyah Binti Abdul Ghani dalam bidang kecantikan. So, after she has gone through the course, of course she has up-scale herself and yang pada awal pendapatannya hanya RM300.00 sebulan. After going through the course, belajar cara mana nak memasarkan networking dan sebagainya, now she is earning more than RM1,200.00 per month. That is bidang kecantikan and we have one contoh juga untuk bidang kulinari, iaitu, Puan April Knight Anak Bujang yang before this, pendapatan dia was less than RM600.00 and now with the course and dengan kepelbagaian kemahiran yang telah diajar, she can manage also to earn more than RM1,200.00 a month. So, these are among the success stories.

Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Simunjan, iboh kitak risau juak, sebab Women

Skill Training tempat kitak kelak 13 hingga 14 Julai. Insyallah. Terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Tupong.

Projek/Program/Dana Pertanian dan Manfaatnya kepada Belia (157) YB Encik Fazzrudin Bin Haji Abdul Rahman bertanya kepada Menteri Pemodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah: Berapa orangkah belia yang telah mendapat manfaat dari Projek/Program/Dana dari Kementerian Permodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah sejak tahun 2018? YB Encik Fazzrudin Bin Haji Abdul Rahman: Terima Kasih, Tuan Speaker.

Bawah pokok ada tiger, Soalan saya bukan No. 3 tetapi 157.

Menteri Muda Pertanian (YB Dr. Haji Abdul Rahman Bin Haji Ismail): Gandingan yang baik antara kedua-dua Yang Berhormat di sana, suka berbalas pantun. Terima kasih Tuan Speaker.

Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Tupong, penglibatan belia dalam bidang pertanian di Negeri Sarawak masih berada di tahap rendah. Takrifan belia adalah dalam lingkungan umur antara 18 hingga 40 tahun. Pada keseluruhannya, di Negeri Sarawak, seramai 171,192 orang petani yang berdaftar dengan Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan (PPK) sehingga Disember 2018. Daripada jumlah ini, hanya 12% yang terdiri daripada golongan belia.

Pada tahun 2018, sejumlah 5,220 orang telah diberikan bantuan daripada Jabatan Pertanian

Sarawak di seluruh bahagian Negeri dengan nilai bantuan sebanyak RM30.8 juta. Daripada jumlah itu, hanya 828 orang atau 16% terdiri daripada golongan belia. Dan jumlah bantuan yang diterima adalah RM6.4 juta.

Manakala, pada tahun 2019 ini, dianggarkan 5,795 orang akan diberikan bantuan oleh Jabatan

Pertanian Sarawak dengan nilai bantuan sebanyak RM34.6 juta. Bagi golongan belia, sasarannya adalah seramai 1,343 orang atau 23% dengan nilai bantuan RM11.6 juta. Ini merupakan peningkatan sebanyak 7% bagi golongan belia daripada tahun 2018. Terima kasih.

YB Encik Fazzrudin Bin Haji Abdul Rahman: (Soalan Tambahan) Saya ada dua soalan tambahan, Tuan Speaker.

Memandangkan terlalu sedikit penglibatan ataupun belia-belia yang mendapat bantuan, saya tidak pasti sama ada kurang memohon ataupun kurang layak, tapi:

1) Apakah langkah Kerajaan untuk menggalakkan lebih ramai lagi belia untuk menceburi

sektor pertanian?


6

2) Apakah aktiviti-aktiviti/dana yang diperuntukkan kepada belia ke arah aktiviti-aktiviti pertanian?

Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat.

Menteri Muda Pertanian (YB Dr. Haji Abdul Rahman Bin Haji Ismail): Terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Tupong atas dua soalan tambahan tersebut. Untuk menjawab soalan tambahan:

Jabatan Pertanian menyediakan bantuan berbentuk input pertanian dan khidmat nasihat sokongan untuk pelbagai program; program tanaman, ternakan, akuakultur dan juga industri asas tani. Dan permohonan ini terbuka kepada semua golongan tanpa mengira tahap ekonomi, umur ataupun pendidikan mereka. Oleh itu, adalah menjadi harapan Kerajaan agar lebih ramai golongan belia terutamanya lepasan Pusat Pengajian Tinggi melibatkan diri di bidang pertanian ini sebagai pekerjaan utama mereka. Pelbagai kemudahan dan bantuan disediakan oleh Kerajaan untuk menggalakkan penglibatan golongan belia ini. Ini termasuk:

(a) Menyediakan Latihan Jangka Sederhana Panjang iaitu dalam tempoh satu tahun enam

bulan hingga dua tahun di Institut Pertanian Semenggok; (b) Menyediakan Latihan Jangka Pendek; tiga hari hingga satu minggu di stesen-stesen

pertanian setempat termasuk dalam bidang ICT dan industri asas tani;

(c) Menyediakan dana khas bagi mereka yang ingin mengembangkan usaha mereka melalui Dana Teroka Pertanian (Agriculture Venture Capital);

(d) Membangunkan Model Pertanian Baru iaitu Agropark di samping menambahbaik

program sedia ada Taman Kekal Pengeluaran Makanan (TKPM). Kedua-dua program ini amat sesuai bagi golongan belia; dan

(e) Memperbanyakkan Program Agropreneur Muda.

Bagi soalan tambahan yang kedua pula, antara program yang paling digemari oleh golongan

belia berdasarkan jumlah peratusan bantuan kepada golongan belia pada tahun 2018/2019 adalah tanaman lada, kelapa sawit, program keusahawanan dan pemeliharaan kelulut. Seterusnya yang digemari juga adalah penanaman sayur-sayuran dan tanaman kontang dengan menggunakan sistem fertigasi iaitu dengan mengaplikasikan pertanian moden seperti smart and precision farming berasaskan penggunaan IOT. Program ini adalah selaras dengan hala tuju Kementerian untuk memodenkan amalan pertanian yang berkualiti dan mempunyai nilai eksport.

Jadi adalah diharapkan dengan penglibatan lebih ramai golongan belia, hasrat Kerajaan untuk

beranjak daripada pengimport produk berasaskan pertanian yang mana defisit imbangan perdagangan bernilai RM3.6 billion sekarang ini kepada untuk menjadi pengeksport bersih produk makanan (net exporter of food products) menjelang tahun 2030 akan menjadi kenyataan. Terima kasih.

Perlu juga dijelaskan bahawa kos projek ini dibiayai sepenuhnya oleh Kerajaan Negeri, GPS. Terima kasih. YB Dato Ranum Anak Mina (Soalan Tambahan): Terima kasih Menteri Muda. Tuan Speaker, saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

1) Apakah komponen-komponen lain yang dirancang untuk RGC Opar bagi baki dua tahun dalam Rancangan Malaysia ke-11?

2) Bilakah semua komponen ini akan siap sepenuhnya? Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Saleh): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker dan terima kasih Yang Berhormat bagi Opar.

Terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Krian.

Status Pelaksanaan Menara Komunikasi

(159) YB Encik Ali Anak Biju bertanya kepada Ketua Menteri:

1) Berapa banyakkah menara komunikasi (communication tower) yang telah dibina sejak inisiatif ekonomi digital diumumkan?

2) Berapa jumlah kos pembinaan yang telah dibayar kepada kontraktor? (216) YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang bertanya kepada Ketua Menteri: Apakah tempoh dan jangka masa pembinaan infrastruktur serta menara-menara komunikasi (communication towers) bagi menyempurnakan “Internet Connectivity” bagi seluruh Sarawak dan apakah status perlaksanaan tersebut? Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah Haji Saidol): Assalamulaikum Tuan Speaker dan terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat Krian diatas soalan mengenai sistem telekomunikasi kita dan saya akan menjawab soalan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Krian sekali dengan soalan dari Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Muara Tuang yang melibatkan perkara yang sama.

Untuk makluman kedua-dua Yang Berhormat, inisiatif digital ini bermula dengan bila kita memperkenalkan SMA Ordinan 2017, dan SMA mula beroperasi sepenuhnya tahun lepas dan perancangan mula akhir tahun lepas, baru beberapa bulan yang lepas.

Perancangan awalnya ialah untuk membina 300 tower (menara) diseluruh Negeri Sarawak

dan setakat ini kerja-kerja awal melibatkan, recce (tinjauan) untuk semua 300 menara sedang


8

berjalan dan diharapkan kerja pembinaan dan pemasangan peralatan dan mula beroperasi, they called it Go Life by the end of 2020.

Kos setakat ini melibatkan yang dibayarkan kepada kontraktor yang terlibat secara langsung

dalam aktiviti recce. Recce ini does not mean survey, ini baru recce site. Kerajaan telah membelanjakan RM500 ribu kepada lebih kurang dalam 20 kontraktor yang terlibat dalam aktiviti recce ini. YB Encik Ali Anak Biju (Soalan Tambahan): Saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

1) Berapa banyakkan telco ini yang akan dibina di kawasan Saratok?; 2) Kerajaan Sarawak bercadang membina lima ribu telco dan berapa lamakah tempoh

untuk membina lima ribu telco?

Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah Haji Saidol): Berapa banyakkah? YB Encik Ali Anak Biju: Berapa lama tempohnya? Untuk membina lima ribu? Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah Haji Saidol): Lima ribu telco? YB Encik Ali Anak Biju: Ya, the State Government intend to construct five thousand telco, tele-communication tower? Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah Haji Saidol): I appreciate your concern Ahli Yang Berhormat for Krian, I must apologise to you, I don’t have the exact numbers of towers to be constructed in Saratok, but I am ready to convey that to you immediately when the numbers are available to me.

To your question of how long does it take to build five thousand towers, but for the first 300 towers, rest assured that the 300 towers will be fully operating by 2020. Constructing a tower is not that easy, even each tower, because dia melibatkan tidak kurang daripada 20 agensi dan recce ini melibatkan sebuah kawasan negeri yang sebesar Semenanjung Malaysia dan kebanyakan tower ini dibina di luar bandar.

Status Pelaksanaan Menara Komunikasi

(159) YB Encik Ali Anak Biju bertanya kepada Ketua Menteri :

1) Berapa banyakkah menara komunikasi (communication tower) yang telah dibina sejak inisiatif ekonomi digital diumumkan?

2) Berapa jumlah kos pembinaan yang telah dibayar kepada kontraktor?

Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah Bin Haji Saidol): Agensi-agensi yang kita perlu that we have to engage adalah seperti Land and Survey Department, SESCO untuk memastikan ada bekalan elektrik dan juga Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR), Local Councils and of course most important is the network facilities providers and network services providers. So, we have to engage with them to ensure that the towers are truly functioning if we were to construct at certain areas.

So, if you are asking me how long does it takes to construct 5000 towers, let us first build 300 towers. Thank you.

Repair of Dilapidated School in the State Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Batu Danau. (161) YB Encik Paulus Palu Gumbang bertanya kepada Menteri Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi the Federal rejected the State Government’s offer of RM1 Billion (Contra State Government debt to the Federal Government) to repair dilapidated schools in the State. What are the steps to be taken by the Government to ensure the much needed repairs are done to these schools? Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Danau. Tuan Speaker, with regards to the dilapidated schools, it has attracted a lot of interests among the Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat. There is a lot of Ahli-


10

Ahli Yang Berhormat who submitted the similar questions but I will focus my answer to question from Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Danau.

The State Government is taking it very seriously about the dilapidated schools. That is why in July 2018, the YAB Chief Minister offered to repay it, the State debts with the Federal government of RM1 billion is meant for dilapidated schools. After a long waiting, there was a statement by the Minister of Education in April, after the meeting with the YAB Chief Minister has agreed with the procedure where the State Government used the procedure of contra-payment. But unfortunately, in April the Federal Government make a U-turn, though some people do not agree with the word U-turn, I will elaborate on that, that the Federal wants us to pay advance payment.

It does not make sense for someone to pay a loan in advance just because your business is

not good or it is just because you do not have the money to build the schools. For example, I take an analogy, I loan a car and the business of that company is running down and they asked me to pay in advance of my loan car, does it make sense? It does not make sense at all. In terms of contract, it does not make sense at all as well. So, we do not agree with this advance payment format. Therefore, there is still a deadlock on what has been said, there is no such thing as being deadlock, there is still a negotiation between the Federal Government particularly the Ministry of Education and the State Government on this issue.

And also, it is not right that by using this payment of RM1 billion to the State Government, we

are using the money at our whim and fancies, at our own wish and as we like. No, we have agreed that if this is the formula that we want to use there will be three (3) Committee to be formed. A Committee comprises of three (3) agencies, that is the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and the State Government. Even the State Government do not have the final say about the list of the schools. We only can submit to the Ministry of Education. They have the final say. There is no such thing as allegations that we want to use this money at our whim and fancy. This is a very serious allegation just to prove that we are not transparent. In fact, it involves every agencies, the Federal, the State, how this RM1 billion money can be used. That is number one.

Number two Tuan Speaker, I want to deliberate a bit. People are accusing us what we have

done for the last 55 years. Please don’t forget your history. Who are the Minister of Education for the last 55 years? Three of them now are in Pakatan Harapan Government. Three of them are in Pakatan Harapan Government. One in waiting Prime Minister? Now the other Prime Minister? One is the President of the party of the component of Pakatan Harapan. 55 years are monopolized by these three persons who are the Ministers of Education. Only one time the Sarawakian is the Minister of Education.

And yet at that particular time when he was the Minister of Education, he was able to bring

up and built UNIMAS the fourth public university and also build up the medical school for the State of Sarawak. So please if you want to accuse that what we have done for the last 55 years, learn your history. Learn the history properly. Otherwise, you are just accusing your boss now not doing their work for the past 55 years. Thank you very much.

YB Encik Paulus Palu Gumbang: Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat Menteri Muda. Berapi-api jawapan. Saya ada dua soalan Tambahan, Tuan Speaker.

1) Berapa banyakkah dana daripada Kerajaan Negeri yang telah dibelanja untuk kerja-kerja baik pulih sekolah diseluruh negeri?; dan

2) Berapakah jumlah sekolah yang telah mendapat manafaat daripada program ini? Terima

kasih.


11

Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi (YB Dr Haji Annuar bin Rapaee): Tuan Speaker, education is under the Federal list but because it is so important for the people of Sarawak, the State Government has done a lot about this problem.

I would like to read because it involves the figures. There are two new projects on the relocation and rebuilding of the schools which involved SK Ulu Sengan, Bintulu with the cost of RM29,488 million and SK Meludam, Betong with the cost of RM35,765 million. The total is about RM65 million. This is from the State Government money not from the Federal.

Through The Rural Transformation Initiative - From 2018 till 2020 next year, involving 63

schools at the cost of RM20 million from the State Government money not form the Federal. Chief Minister Special Development Allocation Fund (SDAF) - Estimated about RM37 million

involving 90 schools. All the total is RM123 million. I want to compare, this is RM123 million, the Federal Government only approved RM100 million this year for the State for the dilapidated schools. We spent RM123 million not inclusive of RM50 million which has been approved for electricity.

This is how serious the State Government want to make sure the dilapidated school is being

addressed and all these 155 schools were being involved in what is the State Government going to do for the dilapidated school in Sarawak. Thank you very much.

Tapi walaubagaimanapun sekiranya ada keperluan dan permintaan Kerajaan akan mengemukakan cadangan pada masa akan datang mengikut keutamaan. Terima kasih. YB Encik John anak Ilus: Terima kasih atas jawapan Menteri Muda. So, saya ada dua Soalan Tambahan.

1) Memandangkan pihak Kementerian tidak mempunyai perancangan untuk menaik taraf Serian Mini Sport Complex, apakah usaha-usaha lain yang telah dilakukan oleh pihak Kementerian?

2) Apakah alternatif yang dilakukan oleh pihak kerajaan Sarawak bagi menyediakan tempat

tertutup untuk acara-acara yang besar di bahagian Serian? Thank you.


12

Menteri Muda Belia dan Sukan (YB Datuk Snowdan Lawan): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Untuk menjawab Soalan Tambahan pertama. Kementerian kita, walaupun kita tidak mempunyai perancangan untuk membina ataupun menaik taraf Serian Mini Complex ini, walaubagaimanapun kemudahan tersebut telah dinaik taraf pada tahun 2014. Dan jumlah sekitar sebanyak RM3.08 juta telah dibelanjakan untuk menaik taraf pada tahun 2014. Ini adalah untuk menyamai kompleks sukan ini supaya sama dengan kompleks sukan di bahagian-bahagian yang lain. Dan projek ini telah pun disediakan oleh Majlis Daerah Serian.

Menjawab bahagian kedua (2) pula, untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Bukit Simuja, seperti yang telah diumumkan oleh mantan Ketua Menteri kita dulu pada tahun 2016, bahagian Serian bakal mempunyai sebuah Confront Centre di Bandar baru Serian dan ini akan memberi kemudahan kepada masyarakat di bahagian Serian untuk mengadakan acara-acara yang besar masa hadapan. Terima kasih.

Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhomat Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep for Tasik Biru.

“Food Basket” in the Bidayuh Belt Areas

(163) YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep to ask the Minister for Modernisation of Agriculture, Native Land and Regional Development. Does the State Government have any plans to create a Development Agency to emphasize aggressively on Agriculture and Tourism as “food basket” in the Bidayuh Belt stretching from Lundu to Serian similar to those in Betong and Sarikei? Menteri Muda Pembangunan Tanah Adat (YB Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat dari Tasik Biru. For the information of the Honourable Member for Tasik Biru, the Bidayuh Belt, which stretches from Lundu, Bau, Penrissen, Siburan, Padawan, Serian, Tebedu and Mongkos is a strategic agricultural growth hinterland which is within the greater Kuching development area. The establishment of a dedicated regional development agency will definitely accelerate the phase of agriculture development within the southern region. As such, the government is considering Sarawak Land Development Board (SLDB) to play that role to spear head agricultural and tourism activities within the southern region. Those two main activities for the greater Kuching development area culture and tourism. Those are the two main one and actually for the Bidayuh Belt it has been identified as also the Durian Belt because of sales of suitability. Thank you. YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih Assistant Minister for the reply. I hope our face does not look like durian (laughter). I have two supplementary question.

1) What are the new approaches initiated by the government to transform the Agriculture sector?

2) Is there any plan to set up Agro Park or TKPM in Tasik Biru? Thank you. Menteri Muda Pembangunan Tanah Adat (YB Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn): Thank you Ahli Yang Berhormat for Tasik Biru. Tuan Speaker, for the further information for the Honourable Member, the government will embark on the concept of public private partnership. These are the approach that we are taking and the concept involves the engagement of anchor companies, Agropark and also Taman Kekal Pengeluaran Makanan (TKPM) to accelerate the culture development in the State. At the moment there are four TKPMs and three Agroparks being implemented and identified. To accelerate regional development the government has also set up the regional agencies such as Northern Region Development Agency (NRDA), Highland Development Agency (HDA), and the Rejang Development Agency (URDA). Anchor farming concept has also

Masalah Pencemaran Bau dan Pencemaran Sungai dari Sibuti Landfill

(164) YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Bandar dan Sumber Asli. Apakah tindakan Kerajaan untuk menyelesaikan masalah pencemaran bau dan pencemaran sungai yang disebabkan oleh Sibuti Landfill? (214) YB Encik Ripin bin Lamat bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Bandar dan Sumber Asli. Adakah tindakan Kerajaan dalam menangani pencemaran alam sekitar di Sungai Subak yang disebabkan oleh pusat pelupusan sampah “Sibuti Landfill” di Kampung Subak, Bekenu? Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker dan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Lambir. Izinkan saya menjawab soalan 164 bersama-sama dengan soalan 214 dari Yang Berhormat bagi Lambir, hanya bezanya adalah ‘Apakah’ dan ‘Adakah’ untuk subjek yang sama. Jadi, anyway you have two supplementary question. YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Do I get four? (laughter) Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Jawapannya ialah, untuk makluman bagi Lambir, pihak Lembaga Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar (NREB) bersama Majlis Perbandaran Bandaraya Miri telah mengambil langkah-langkah sewajarya untuk meminimakan pencemaran alam sekitar yang berpunca dari tapak pelupusan tersebut seperti berikut;

(a) Penambahbaikan Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) untuk merawat air resapan sebelum ianya disalirkan ke anak sungai. Setakat ini, LTP tersebut telah beroperasi sepenuhnya.

(b) Menutup dengan tanah sel-sel aktif untuk mengurangkan pencemaran bau. (c) Memantau tapak pelupusan tersebut dari masa ke semasa bagi memastikan operasinya

mengikut garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak berwajib.

Selain daripada itu, pihak NREB juga menjalankan pemantauan secara berkala setiap suku tahun ke atas tapak pelupusan tersebut untuk memastikan operasinya mematuhi syarat-syarat kelulusan Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) dan garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan.Terima kasih. YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Terima kasih, Assistant Minister. Sebelum itu, Tuan Speaker adakah saya mendapat empat soalan tambahan? Tuan Speaker: Dua, dua. (laughter) jangan rangkak gilaklah YB. (laughter) YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Disebabkan ada dua soalan yang dijawab. Kalau ikut normal order saya dapat empat (laughter) Tuan Speaker: Dua, dua.


14

YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Ok, terima kasih. (soalan tambahan) Tuan Speaker, saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

1) Dimanakah lokasi pemantauan kualiti air dan apakah parameter-parameter yang dipantau di sungai berdekatan dengan Sibuti Landfill?

2) Adakah influence atau sisa-sisa kumbahan yang dikeluarkan discharge oleh Sibuti Landfill mematuhi had yang ditetapkan?

Sebab isunya sekarang ialah, yang sangat penting ialah, dua soalan ini, dikeluarkan sekali dan diutarakan disebabkan perkara ini masalah yang paling besar di kawasan tujuh perkampungan yang mengelilingi Sibuti Landfill. Jadi, kalau boleh, sebenarnya harapan kita Sibuti Landfill ini ditutup dan dipindahkan ke kawasan yang lebih jauh daripada kawasan perkampungan. Terima kasih.

Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih, Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Lambir.

Lokasi pemantauan di Sungai Subak ialah dari hulu dan hilir tempat pelepasan Sungai Subak. Soalan kedua, soalan tambahan kedua, parameter-parameter kualiti air yang dipantau ialah PH, this is not the political PH, this is technical PH, maybe we will pantau the political PH in another way. Suhu, Free Radical Chlorin, Residual Chlorin, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), total suspended solid, oil and grease and logam-logam seperti plumbum atau pun lead, led sorry, kuprom which is cooper, zink, nickel, chromium, besi manganese dan mercury dan semua keluaran atau discharge di sungai ini mematuhi garis yang telah ditetapkan di dalam syarat-syarat kelulusan EIA.Terima kasih.

Inisiatif Kerajaan Untuk Menarik Minat Usahawan Luar Bandar

(165) YB Encik Chukpai Ugon bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Perindustrian dan Usahawan: Apakah inisiatif yang telah diambil oleh Kerajaan untuk menarik minat usahawan di luar Bandar untuk menceburkan diri secara aktif dalam bidang keusahawanan? Menteri Muda Pembangunan Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana dan Keusahawanan (YB Datuk Haji Naroden Bin Haji Majais): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Murum, memang menjadi hasrat Kerajaan Sarawak untuk meningkatkan penyertaan masyarakat sama ada di dalam Bandar dan Luar Bandar untuk mencebur diri dalam bidang keusahawanan. Ini dibuktikan dengan pelaksanaan pelbagai inisiatif dan program keusahawanan bagi meningkatkan capacity dan capability para usahawan kita. Antara inisiatif dan program tersebut adalah latihan keusahawanan, bantuan dana, penyediaan infrastruktur perniagaan dan khidmat nasihat sebagainya.

Antara program dan bantuan yang disediakan oleh Kementerian saya adalah seperti berikut: (a) Skim Pinjaman Industri Kecil dan Sederhana (SPIKS); (b) Graduan ke Arah Keusahawanan (GERAK); (c) Usahawan Teknikal dan Vokasional (USTEV); (d) Latihan Kemahiran dan Latihan Berpusat; (e) Simposium Usahawan Kontraktor; (f) Roadshow Keusahawanan; (g) Roadshow Usahawan Sarawak; (h) Anjung Usahawan dan Estet Perindustrian; and (i) Sarawak Product Pavilion di Kuala Lumpur.


15

Selain daripada itu, agensi-agensi lain seperti MITEC, Kementerian Kebajikan Kesejahteraan Komuniti, Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Kanak-Kanak Sarawak, Kementerian Permodenan Pertanian Sarawak, Perbadanan Kemajuan Kraftangan Malaysia, AIM, TEKUN, MARA, SME Corp, MATRADE, KPDNHEP dan sebagainya turut juga menyediakan pelbagai jenis program dan inisiatif untuk membantu meningkatkan capacity dan capability para usahawan tempatan kita.

Bagi tujuan pembangunan produk dan pengkomersilan produk (product development and

commercialization), Kerajaan Sarawak telah menyediakan kemudahan R&D dan pilot plant testing, serta incubator di Biovalley Park in Miri. Usahawan-usahawan adalah digalakkan untuk menggunakan kemudahan-kemudahan tersebut bagi meningkatkan kualiti dan pasaran produk mereka. Terima kasih.

YB Encik Chukpai Ugon: (Soalan tambahan) Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat Datuk Menteri Muda. Tuan Speaker, saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

1) Apakah perancangan Kerajaan untuk membantu para usahawan kawasan luar bandar atau kampung-kampung kecil untuk mengembangkan perniagaan mereka memandangkan jumlah penduduk dan kuasa membeli para penduduk luar Bandar terlalu kecil dan jarak ke Bandar terlalu jauh seperti kawasan Murum?

2) Bagaimanakah Biovalley Park di Miri boleh membantu para usahawan kecil dan

sederhana kita di Sarawak? Menteri Muda Pembangunan Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana dan Keusahawanan (YB Datuk Haji Naroden Bin Haji Majais): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker dan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Murum. Senario yang disebutkan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Murum tadi, di mana kawasan luar bandar mempunyai penduduk yang kecil, berselerak dan kuasa membelinya amat kurang dan jaraknya ke pasar besar amat jauh. Jadi, senario sebegini memang dilihat sebagai satu faktor utama yang melemahkan semangat para usahawan kita di luar bandar atau pun di kampung-kampung untuk mencebur diri dalam bidang keusahawanan.

Dibandingkan dengan keadaan di dalam bandar, di mana penduduknya berlipat kali ganda besar dan juga penduduknya majoriti bergaji bulan dan mereka mempunyai kuasa membeli yang amat tinggi dan nescaya mereka mempunyai keperluan dan kemahuan yang sama seperti kita di luar bandar. Mereka perlu barang makanan yang berasaskan tani, mereka perlu ikan dan sayuran, mereka perlu kraftangan, mereka perlu pakaian dan sebagainya. Jadi, keperluan dalam bandar amat tinggi kalau dibandingkan dengan kawasan luar bandar dan keperluan ini majoritinya dapat dihasil daripada kawasan luar bandar. Jadi, para penduduk luar bandar harus melihat keadaan dalam bandar sebagai satu peluang untuk mereka memenuhi kehendak dan keperluan masyarakat yang besar di dalam bandar. Jadi apa yang penting adalah masyarakat kita di kampung dan luar bandar harus bekerja rapat dengan agensi-agensi Kerajaan yang melaksanakan apa jua program keusahawanan atau pun pertanian, pemprosesan produk dan sebagainya supaya mereka mendapat manfaat daripada program yang diberi oleh Kerajaan.

Jadi, bagi Biovalley Park di Miri, ianya direka bentuk (design) untuk memberi kemudahan R&D

yang boleh membantu para usahawan kecil dan sederhana kita di negeri Sarawak. Ianya juga memberi kemudahan R&D untuk product development secara pilot new products dimana ianya dapat mengenal pasti komponen produk, ianya dapat determine the life span of the product, membantu kita mereka packaging dan banyak lagi. Jadi kita minta para usahawan kita di luar bandar agar menggunakan Biovalley Park Research Centre ini sepenuhnya dan ia juga boleh memberi kemudahan inkubator untuk usahawan baharu dan kemudahan R&D secara kontrak bagi institusi, agensi-agensi yang membuat R&D di negeri Sarawak. Terima kasih.

Tuan Speaker: Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat, the question time is up. Ahli Yang Berhormat for Kota Sentosa, the attention of the Dewan had been drawn this morning to the speech you have made


16

yesterday. This was raised by the Honourable Member for Mambong. Your speech was recorded on page 34 of today’s hansard. Your speech reads, “I know he is on your side. He is working together with PBB but as far as SUPP, PRS, PDP is concerned I don’t know, are they going for your neck, be careful. But he is working with PBB anyway, okay. Alright, so I don’t think you will be taking any action against him”. The Honourable Member raised this violate Standing Order 32(6) and also 32(4) It shall be out of order to use offensive and insulting language about members of the Dewan. 32(6) No member shall impute improper motives to any other member or make any statement or allegation.

The Honourable Member for Mambong would like you to withdraw and for this statement to be expunged from the hansard. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speaker, 32(6) No member shall impute improper motives to any other member or make any statement or allegation which the said member is not prepared to substantiate. The issue here is whether am I prepared to substantiation. That’s number one. Number two, if you are making allegations against me, Honourable Member from Mambong is it, is making allegation against me for imputing improper motive, may I know which part of the text as Tuan Speaker, you have read out the whole thing, the whole paragraph of my debate, and may I know which part of my debate constitute improper motive and sting of the improper motive so that I can substantiate it. On the issue of 34 bracket, which bracket?

Tuan Speaker: 32(4). YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: 32(4) yes. Order to use offensive and insulting language. Tuan Speaker: Going for your neck means you are going to kill, he’s going to kill. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speaker, that is a figurative of speech. Come on, of course we know that this is not literally killing. I am not saying this is literally. Tuan Speaker: It is not literally killing but the intent is to finish you off. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Politically what is wrong with that? What is so wrong about politically they are going to finish you off? Tuan Speaker: So, you are not prepared to withdraw? YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: No, Tuan Speaker, what is so offensive about that? You guys are saying you will be wiped out, you will be wiped out. You guys are making allegation against PH, people will vote you out. So how, what is so offensive about that? Tuan Speaker, are you saying that is offensive or insulting? Tuan Speaker: Insulting, offensive. This allegation is directed personally at the Honourable Member for Bawang Assan. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Honourable Member for Bawang Assan is not making any complaint. Tuan Speaker: By Honourable Member for Mambong, this is brought up by Honourable Member for Mambong. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: But Honourable Member for Bawang Assan, is Honourable Member for Bawang Assan making a complaint? Maybe Honourable Member for Mambong is just busybody.


17

Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan E-Dagang dan Menteri Kewangan II (YB Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh): Tuan Speaker, Honourable Member if you are not prepared to withdraw the statement, I will move a Motion to that effect against you. Okay. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speaker, if Honourable Member for Bawang Assan would like to state that he is not going to finish off or going for the neck of SUPP, PRS, PDP, okay I accept that. So, I’ll withdraw that part if it is confirmed that he is not going for the neck of SUPP or the other component parties. But his action is saying that he’s grabbing their members, their elected reps. That gives the perception to the people, to the public that you are going for them. And then he is also, there is also a statement saying that they will be contesting on the areas where all these SUPP, PRS, PDP are contesting. Is that not going after them? When you are in the same Cabinet, you are supposedly to be in the same coalition, the same side, but you are saying that you are going to contest in the areas where your partners are contesting. Is that not going after them? That is a fair comment, Tuan Speaker, and that I don’t think it’s insulting language. Insulting language is something that is derogatory, that is not acceptable. If a comment on a political intention of a party is insulting, that cannot be accepted. Tuan Speaker: When you said he is working for PBB, going for your neck, there is a conspiracy, isn’t it? Isn’t it? YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Yes, okay, that part, maybe PBB is not working with them, but his action is going for PRS, SUPP, isn’t that true? Are you going for their area? Are you going to contest in their areas, of SUPP, PRS and PDP? SUPP, I am trying to do you a favour, you know. If he states, if Honourable Member for Bawang Assan states in this House that he is not going to contest in the areas of PRS, PDP and SUPP, then I’ll withdraw that. Then it is a misconception on my part. Tuan Speaker: First, you say he is working with PBB, there is a conspiracy ...(interruption)... YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speaker, Tuan Speaker ...(interruption)... Tuan Speaker: Hang on, hang on, there is a conspiracy. Then the violence of language you used, “he is going for your neck!” Now, take it in its entirety and in total. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: (Laughing) Okay, okay, alright. Tuan Speaker: And then you finished your sentence by saying to the Deputy Speaker, “You are not going to take action against him, would you?” Meaning to confirm the conspiracy. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speake...(interruption)... Tuan Speaker: Either you withdraw or you don’t, then I’ll leave it to the Minister to move a Motion. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Tuan Speaker, okay, let me have my say first. You know, the Cabinet Minister’s post is the prerogative of the Chief Minister, Tuan Speaker. When there is a Minister in the Cabinet belonging to one party, going after the parties where other Ministers belongs, then I think there is an obvious ...(interruption)... Tuan Speaker: Conspiracy? YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: No, no, no. There is obviously a fight going on between the Ministers, the parties, and the Chief Minister is not doing anything. So that’s why I say, okay ...(interruption)... Tuan Speaker: Are you going to withdraw or not?


18

YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Alright, I’ll withdraw that part on the conspiracy part. Tuan Speaker: No, the whole thing, until “you would not take action against him, would you?” Would you withdraw or not? YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Okay, I withdraw that, I withdraw that. Tuan Speaker: You withdraw? Then that is to be expunged? YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: You can expunge it, that doesn’t matter, you can do whatever you want, Tuan Speaker, that is your prerogative. Tuan Speaker: I hereby direct the Secretary to do the administrative action to expunge. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: But are you going to contest in areas of SUPP if PartiBersatu Sarawak contests in SUPP area, PRS area, PDP area? And for that ...(interruption)... Tuan Speaker: No, Honourable Minister, you don’t need to reply. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Are you ready to reply? Okay, okay, never mind. You see, the conspiracy theory is there, the conspiracy theory is there. It’s okay, it’s okay, alright, alright. Tuan Speaker: Because the Minister is not making the statement, you are. YB Encik Chong Chieng Jen: Alright, alright, okay, never mind, never mind. I’ll withdraw that. You want to expunge, you expunge. It doesn’t matter. Tuan Speaker: Okay, the statement is withdrawn. I hereby direct the Secretary to take the administrative action to expunge the statement.

Tuan Speaker: Any Honourable who wish to speak? Honourable Member for Beting Maro. YB Tuan Haji Razaili Bin Haji Gapor:

Melati kuntum tumbuh melata, Saya merebah di pohon cemara. Assalamualaikum mulanya kata, Salam sembah pembuka bicara.


27

Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker kerana memberi peluang kepada saya untuk terlibat membahaskan Usul Penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak semasa Pembukaan Persidangan Pertama Penggal Keempat Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak Ke-18 pada Isnin, 29 April 2019 yang lalu.

Ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama pada persidangan kali ini menyentuh banyak perkara yang

meliputi pelbagai bidang dari pembangunan dan transformasi ekonomi, perpaduan dan keharmonian rakyat, transformasi luar bandar, pembangunan infrastruktur asas dan kesejahteraan rakyat, pembangunan modal insan, sistem penyampaian perkhidmatan Kerajaan dan tentang perjuangan rakyat dan Kerajaan negeri menuntut hak-hak Negeri Sarawak seperti yang termaktub dalam Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA63).

Tuan Speaker, kita bertuah kerana mempunyai seorang pemimpin seperti YAB Ketua Menteri,

yang visionary, ambitious, forward thinking, smart, berani dan mempunyai azam dan komitmen tinggi untuk membawa rakyat dan Negeri Sarawak menjadi negeri maju berpendapatan tinggi menjelang tahun 2030.

Rakyat Sarawak mesti bersatu dalam kepelbagaian pendapat dan pegangan. Kesetiaan serta

semangat anak negeri Sarawak, Sarawak first, Sarawak diutamakan akan diuji dan mesti berani untuk menolok parti-parti politik yang pada prinsip dan sejarahnya tidak pernah ditubuhkan untuk menjaga kepentingan rakyat Sarawak. Kerajaan Negeri yang didukung parti-parti tempatan lebih memahami keperluan rakyat Sarawak berbanding parti dari luar. Kita tidak perlu pihak luar untuk menentukan nasib dan hala tuju negeri ini kerana rakyat Sarawak sendiri cukup bijak dan berkebolehan untuk membuat demikian.

Tuan Speaker, persoalannya kemajuan Sarawak masih jauh ketinggalan berbanding dengan

negeri-negeri lain. Di mana keadilan dan kesaksamaan? Keperluan untuk membangunkan Negeri Sarawak sentiasa meningkat dari semasa ke semasa. Ia memerlukan perancangan dan pengurusan sumber kewangan yang baik. Terima kasih kepada YAB Ketua Menteri kerana telah mengambil langkah berani dengan memperkenalkan cukai sebanyak 5% ke atas produk-produk petroleum untuk tujuan eksport. Hasil cukai ini dianggarkan 3.8 billion setahun dan akan menjadi sumber kewangan yang penting untuk membiayai pembangunan di negeri ini.

Peruntukan yang besar seperti ini membolehkan pelbagai projek berimpak tinggi dan bersifat

People-Centric dapat dilaksanakan untuk memenuhi keperluan rakyat. Pelaksanaan projek transformasi luar bandar dan projek rakyat telah memberi kemudahan infranstruktur, utiliti dan telekomunikasi di luar bandar.

Tuan Speaker, bagi mewakili rakyat DUN Beting Maro, saya mengucapkan terima kasih atas

kelulusan pembinaan Jambatan Batang Lupar, Jambatan Batang Saribas dan Jambatan Batang Krian. Saya juga berharap Kerajaan dapat menaik taraf jalan penghubung desa dari jalan Pusa/Batang Maro kepada jenis R3 yang dianggarkan oleh pihak JKR dengan kos RM35 juta.

Saya juga berharap Kerajaan dapat menaik taraf jalan penghubung Loji Pusa/Rumah Kam

Blok kepada jenis R3 di samping membina baru jalan Tanjung Lilin Beladin ke Tanjung Asam. Perlaksanaan rangkaian jalan pesisir ini, yang ditunggu-tunggu selama ini akan memberi impak yang positif dan membuka peluang ekonomi kepada rakyat di kawasan pesisir. Di samping rangkaian jalanraya, telekomunikasi dan capaian internet juga merupakan alat perhubungan yang penting. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya juga memohon kepada Kerajaan supaya infranstruktur telekomunikasi di DUN Beting Maro ditingkatkan dengan menyedia lebih banyak lagi Menara telekomunikasi, pusat jalur lebar, wifi dan pusat internet yang akan meningkat capaian internet.


28

Penubuhan Agensi-Agensi Pembangunan Wilayah

Tuan Speaker, kita sedar akan cabaran besar yang dihadapi oleh Kerajaan untuk membawa pembangunan ke seluruh Negeri Sarawak. Saya menyokong pendekatan yang baharu dan inovatif Ketua Menteri bagi merancang dan merancakkan pembangunan wilayah di negeri ini. Melalui penubuhan Upper Rajang Development Agency (URDA), Highland Development Agency (HDA), Northern Region Development Agency (NRDA) dan Integrated Regional Samarahan Development Ageny (IRSDA), oleh Kerajaan dengan peruntukan masing-masing RM1.5 billion, kita yakin bahawa pelaksanaan projek-projek pembangunan di wilayah-wilayah tersebut dapat dipercepatkan.

Saya berharap pembangunan wilayah ini dapat diperluaskan ke wilayah yang lain di negeri ini.

Pendekatan yang inovatif ini memberi fokus kepada usaha untuk menyediakan infrastruktur dan membangunkan potensi ekonomi secara lebih agresif. Ini adalah selaras dengan usaha untuk mempercepatkan pembangunan yang seimbang di Negeri Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, kawasan wilayah Betong-Sarikei termasuk DUN Beting Maro, Saribas, Bukit

Saban, Layar, Kabong, Krian, Kalaka, dan Sarikei merupakan kawasan yang mempunyai kawasan tanah gambut dan bukit serta perairan pantai dan laut yang luas. Kawasan ini kaya dengan sumber biodiversiti marin dan hutan nipah yang belum diterokai sepenuhnya. Walau bagaimanapun, kawasan ini masih ketinggalan dari kemudahan infrastruktur asas terutama bekalan air bersih, bekalan elektrik, dan infrastruktur pertanian.

Sehubungan dengan itu, Kerajaan dicadangkan untuk mempertimbangkan penubuhan Agensi

Pembangunan Wilayah di Lembah Batang Saribas/Batang Krian meliputi kawasan Betong-Sarikei (seperti URDA, HDA, NDA dan IRSDA) yang bertanggungjawab untuk merancang dan merancakkan lagi pembangunan ekonomi dan infrastruktur secara teratur, focus dan terancang termasuk aktiviti R&D sumber bio-marine dan bio-herba. Ini pasti akan merancakkan lagi bidang pertanian di samping merangsang bio-ekonomi yang berpotensi dapat meningkatkan pendapatan penduduk luar bandar di kawasan ini. Penubuhan Agensi Pembangunan Wilayah Betong-Sarikei ini tepat pada masanya memandangkan Kerajaan telah bersetuju menjadikan kawasan Betong-Sarikei ini sebagai kawasan Food Basket untuk Sarawak.

Mengukuhkan Pembangunan Pertanian

Tuan Speaker, saya menyokong hasrat Kerajaan untuk menjadi pengeksport hasil pertanian dan produk untuk memenuhi permintaan pasaran domestik dan global. Visi ini dapat dicapai dengan mengubah pertanian menjadi sektor moden, kompetitif dan mapan yang mampu menjana perniagaan inovatif yang baru dan peluang pekerjaan bernilai tinggi. Sektor pertanian perlu dimodenkan dan dikomersialkan melalui memanfaatkan teknologi canggih.

Saya menaruh harapan yang tinggi kepada YB Datuk Amar Menteri Pemodenan Pertanian,

Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah untuk mentransformasikan sektor pertanian negeri ini. Sarawak masih bergantung kepada Pengimportan barang makanan untuk keperluan rakyatnya. Dianggarkan Sarawak mengimport RM4.4 billion makanan setahun dan mengalami defisit imbangan perdagangan RM2.7 billion.

Penduduk pesisir seperti Beting Maro, yang berhadapan dengan masalah untuk membangunkan sektor pertanian, sangat memerlukan perhatian khas Kerajaan. Mereka sangat memerlukan infrastruktur pertanian seperti jalan kebun, sistem tali air dan saliran untuk pembukaan tanah pertanian yang bebas dari ancaman air masin. Usaha ini dijangka dapat meningkat pengeluaran agro-makanan berganda ke arah untuk menjadikan Beting Maro khasnya dan Wilayah Betong-Sarikei amnya sebagai food basket untuk Sarawak.

Penyediaan infrastrutktur pertanian khususnya sistem pengairan dan saliran bersama benteng

tebingan sungai dan jalan kebun dapat membuka peluang bagi pembangunan tanah di Beting Maro


29

dengan tanaman komersial berskala besar seperti Nanas Premium MD2, Kelapa Pandan, Matag dan Kelapa Tacuan, kopi, padi, lada serta tanaman buahan seperti durian musang king, limau dan mangga.

Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi terima kasih dan

penghargaan terhadap MANRED dan juga IADA Kalaka-Saribas Betong kerana telah membangunkan ladang nanas MD2 di kawasan saya. Bagi menambah nilai ekonomi dan pendapatan tambahan kepada petani, Kerajaan diminta untuk membangunkan Industri Asas Tani terutama dengan mengambil kira masa lambakan apabila harga keluaran merudum. Pembinaan Pusat Pengumpulan Pemprosesan dan Pembungkusan Produk Pertanian (CPPC) dan Anjung Usahawan di Beting Maro akan dapat membantu dalam pemasaran hasil tani ini dengan lebih berkesan.

Tuan Speaker, pada masa sama, adalah diakui bahawa Kampung Tambak terkenal sebagai

pengeluar gula apong bermutu yang terbesar di Malaysia. Saya mohon kerajaan supaya terus membangun pengeluaran gula apong sebagai satu industri agromakanan yang berdaya maju. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya ingin memohon dan mencadangkan supaya kerajaan membangun Taman Industri Nipah dan Gula Apong Tambak sebagai usaha untuk melindung, memaju dan mempertingkat pengeluaran produk dari nipah seperti gula dan sirap apong, cuka dan garam apong. Di samping itu, taman ini boleh dijadikan sebagai tempat rujukan, latihan dan penyelidikan untuk industri nipah.

Saya memohon sebuah kilang pemprosesan moden yang dilengkapkan dengan peralatan

mengikut piawaian dan persijilan makanan antarabangsa untuk dibina di Taman Industri Nipah ini. Nipah berpotensi menjadi tanaman strategik yang bernilai tinggi dan sumber pendapatan lumayan untuk masyarakat di sepanjang tebingan sungai pesisir Sarawak.

Kepada Kementerian Permodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah

(MANRED), saya juga ingin memohon supaya dilaksanakan di kawasan Beting Maro, inisiatif dan projek-projek seperti berikut:-

(a) Melaksanakan dan membangunkan Zon Industri Akuakultur (ZIA) di kawasan pinggir

tebingan sungai; (b) Melaksanakan projek ladang nanas, kelapa, pisang dan rumbia; (c) Melaksanakan projek Fertigasi mengguna IoT; (d) Melaksanakan projek ternakan kambing, lembu, ayam dan itik; dan (e) Melaksanakan projek nurseri pokok benih dan projek pengeluaran baja kompos. Tuan Speaker, izinkan saya untuk merungkaikan beberapa isu yang memerlukan perhatian

dewan ini, lebih-lebih lagi yang melibatkan keperluan kawasan dan rakyat DUN Beting Maro dengan harapan diberi perhatian dan tindakan.

Projek Perumahan Rakyat Pusa, Rumah mampu Milik (RMM) dan Rumah Spektra Permata (RSP)

Saya menyambut baik usaha Kerajaan untuk menjaga kesejahteraan rakyat melalui

penyediaan Rumah Mampu Milik dan Rumah Spektra Permata (RSP) sebanyak 1,827 unit dalam tahun 2019 untuk faedah kumpulan berpendapatan rendah. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya merayu dan memohon agar Kerajaan dan pihak Housing Development Corporation (HDC), membangunkan semula projek perumahan rakyat Pusa yang lama tergendala dengan memberi tumpuan kepada pembinaan Rumah Mampu Milik (RMM) dan Rumah Spektra Permata (RSP).


30

Skim Pembesaran Kampung

Pada masa yang sama, terdapat keperluan untuk melaksanakan skim pembesaran kampung bagi Kampung Pusa, Beladin, Tambak, Spinang dan Semarang. Penyediaan tapak penempatan lot perumahan yang tersusun dan dilengkapi infrastruktur dan rumah rakyat yang selesa dan mampu milik. Kerajaan diharapkan dapat mempertimbang dan meluluskan projek pembesaran kampung-kampung ini untuk membolehkan rakyat generasi kedua Beting Maro memliki lot rumah sendiri.

Kajian Pemulihan Tebingan dan Tebatan Banjir

Kebanyakan penempatan kampung di kawasan DUN N.29 Beting Maro menghadapi masalah

hakisan tebing sungai yang menyebabkan kemudahan seperti sekolah, perkuburan dan rumah kediaman penduduk terancam untuk terjun ke sungai atau laut. Kerajaan diminta untuk menjalankan kerja pemuliharaan tebing sungai kawasan penempatan Kampung Pusa, Kalok, Beladin, Semarang dan Spinang. Jabatan Pengaiaran dan Saliran juga diminta untuk membuat kajian tebatan banjir kawasan Muton-Undai yang sering mengalami banjir kilat.

Ladang Rakyat TH Pelita Beladin Maludam

Sejak projek ladang rakyat ini dibuka pada tahun 2006 oleh Kerajaan melalui PELITA bersama

Tabung Haji, ianya belum lagi memberi hasil yang diharapkan seperti dirancang. Pertikaian berkaitan tuntutan tanah bertindih oleh pemilik-pemilik tanah dalam kawasan ladang rakyat ini masih belum diselesaikan. Sehubungan dengan, ini saya merayu dan memohon pihak Kerajaan, supaya mengambil usaha untuk menyelesaikan segera perkara ini demi kesejahteraan rakyat di Beting Maro.

Kompleks Pendaratan Ikan

Saya juga ingin tahu apakah status projek pembinaan Kompleks Pendaratan Ikan LKIM,

Beladin yang telah lewat daripada jadual. Projek ini merupakan kemudahan yang penting untuk kemajuan ekonomi rakyat Beting Maro.

Kompleks Pentadbiran dan Kompleks Sukan

Daerah Baru Pusa

Sebagai salah sebuah daerah penuh, daerah Pusa akan memainkan peranan yang besar untuk membantu kerajaan membangun kawasan dan rakyat di DUN Beting Maro dengan lebih berkesan. Sehubungan dengan itu, Kerajaan diminta untuk membina kompleks pentadbiran baru dan sebuah Kompleks Sukan Daerah Pusa bagi menampung keperluan penduduk daerah ini.

Pembinaan Baru Sekolah Kebangsaan Kalok dan Tambak

Saya juga menyambut baik usaha kerajaan untuk membantu menyelesaikan isu sekolah daif di Sarawak. Keadaan SK Kalok dan SK Tambak yang daif dan dalam keadaan uzur memerlukan perhatian segera Kerajaan. Saya harap Kerajaan dapat menyediakan peruntukan bagi pembinaan baru SK Kalok dan SK Tambak. Tapak untuk pembinaan SK Kalok yang baharu telah disediakan.

Pengukuran Tanah NCR

Saya juga menyambut baik hasrat Kerajaan Negeri untuk meneruskan program pengukuran tanah NCR. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya mohon Kerajaan untuk menyukat tanah NCR milik rakyat dalam kawasan DUN N.29 Beting Maro.


31

Penutup

Tuan Speaker, kita bersyukur Negeri Sarawak terus aman dan damai. Keharmonian yang kita nikmati pada hari ini ialah hasil daripada sikap toleransi dan hubungan yang erat dalam kalangan rakyat kita yang terdiri daripada pelbagai suku kaum, budaya dan agama. Semangat saling mempercayai, hormat menghormati menjadi asas kukuh kepada perpaduan rakyat Sarawak sejak dahulu lagi. Inisiatif Kerajaan Sarawak menubuhkan Unit For All the Religion (UNIFOR) untuk menjaga kepentingan agama lain sangat bertepatan dengan perkembangan semasa.

Akhir sekali, saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Hari Gawai dan Hari Raya Aidil

Fitri kepada semua yang menyambutnya. Saya akhiri ucapan saya dengan tiga rangkap pantun.

Buah nanas buah berangan, Buah kelapa si buah duku;

GPS ikhlas dalam perjuangan, Utamakan Sarawak rakyat maju.

Patah atap kerana buluh, Atap dijalin dengan tali;

Patah sayap bertongkat paruh. Namun undur pantang sekali

Negeri Sarawak Ibu Pertiwi,

Gunung Santubong hikayat puteri, Datuk Speaker tegas bijak bestari,

Perbahasan bersemangat setulus hati

Tuan Speaker, dengan ini saya menyokong Usul Penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak di pembukaan Persidangan Pertama Penggal Keempat Dewan Undangan Negeri ke-18 pada hari Isnin, 29 April 2019. Sekian, terima kasih. Wabillahitaufik Walhidayah Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Tamin. YB Ir. Christopher Gira Anak Sambang: Tuan Speaker, thank you for giving me opportunity to speak in this august House. But before that, please allow me to put in record my utmost and sincere appreciation to Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak for his most gracious address during opening of 1st Meeting of 18th State Legislative Assembly on 29th April 2019.

Tuan Yang Terutama address was very inclusive by touching aspects in Sarawak autonomy as stated in the Malaysia Agreement (MA63), mature and political stability, implementation of 65 initiatives by Government of Sarawak, efficiency of government administrative, urban and rural development, introducing new source of income and revenue and digital economy.

Tuan Speaker, I also wish to congratulate our Excellency, Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka

Baginda, Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al Musta’in Billah Shah, on his installation as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.

Tuan Speaker, since the change of government on 8th May 2018, the PH Government has yet

to deliver any of their election promises which they clearly stated in their manifesto. Many asked – what happen to the promised of 20% of oil and gas royalty to Sarawak, revenue

of 50% from Tourism Tax to be given back to Sarawak? Where? When is oil price to be reduced immediately to RM1.50 after PH Government took the Putrajaya?


32

Many of our fresh graduates and those who has PTPTN loan called with frustration when the PH Government did not fulfilled their promise to abolish PTPTN loan. It was even shocking when PH Government announced to close government department namely JASA and then reduce workforce in the civil servants.

To us Sarawakians, the cancellation of infrastructure projects in Sarawak such as building of bridges is yet another disappointment to the Sarawakians. The reason given to us is due to insufficient fund, which is unacceptable. Because not long after the cancellation of the projects in Sarawak, PH (Pakatan Harapan) Government has approved development projects in Peninsular Malaysia that costs billions of Ringgit for example to Kedah and Penang.

Despite the above, I wish to call upon all the PH MP (Member of Parliaments), the new

Government of the day especially from Sarawak, especially Yang Berhormat for Ba’Kelalan who is also MP for Selangau and Minister of Works to fight for the funds to be allocated to Sarawak, to create more development in Sarawak. Being MP for Selangau, the people that voted for the Yang Berhormat has high hopes that more opportunity in terms of business and development will be brought to Selangau as Selangau deserves to be given this privilege.

Tuan Speaker, observing the current political scenario under PH Government we see how they

managed the country with uncertainty in direction. I read in the Merdeka survey recently, PH

Government performance has shown 79% rating in October 2018 and dropped to 39% in April 2019. Which is why Government of Sarawak needs to find their own way to generate the income for Sarawak if we cannot depend on the Federal Government to support us based on their performance as stated recently.

Therefore, Sarawak Government under the leadership of Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister,

Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg has introduce 65 initiatives to drive Sarawak’s economy. These initiatives include creating revenue to the State, provide basic infrastructure, incorporate strategic institutions such as Upper Rejang Development Agency (URDA), Northern Region Development Agency (NRDA), Highland Development Agency (HDA), Intergrated Regional Samarahan Development Agency (IRSDA) and so on and not forgetting digital economy and human capital.

I have confidence that the initiatives of Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister will generate

massive growth in economy to open business opportunities and employment for the people of Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, Sarawak is a multi-racial and multi-religions State where we live in harmony,

respect and tolerance with each other. Extremism in religion is not allowed here. In recent cases, muslims were attacked and shot in mosques in New Zealand. Another incident was of the Churches bombed in Sri Lanka killing many Christians.

We do not want these incidences to happen in Sarawak. Despite our differences, we must

continue to instill peace and tolerance among the people living in Sarawak and to reject any element

of racism or religion extremist. Tuan Speaker, during the dinner organised by Persatuan Kontraktor Melayu Sarawak (PKMS)

at one local hotel in Kuching recently, Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri announced that 30% of Government projects in Sarawak is allocated to Bumiputera after considering the request from Dewan Usahawan Bumiputera Sarawak (DUBS), Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and Persatuan Kontraktor Melayu Sarawak (PKMS).


33

This is a special privilege to assist Bumiputera contractors and consultants as they cannot compete with big players. I fully support Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister move as this will give business opportunity to many of our Bumiputera contractors and consultants.

Hence, Tuan Speaker, I wish to recommend to establish independent unit to monitor the 30%

of Government projects to be allocated accordingly and this as well for smooth implementation. Tuan Speaker, since the Government of Sarawak has detached itself from the Barisan

Nasional and is now Opposition at the Federal level, Sarawak Government under GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) Government and leadership of Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri Sarawak has strive to increase economic growth through infrastructure development, introducing sales tax on export of petroleum, promoting business opportunity to attract investors to come to Sarawak and so on. This in turn, will create and generate more income to Sarawak and get more job opportunity to the Sarawakian.

Judging what are currently being done, I have the confident that GPS can lead and protect

Sarawak rights and Sarawakians from outsiders. I have confidence Sarawak is able to be a developed State by year 2030.

Tuan Speaker, now let me touch a bit on development in DUN Tamin for the attention for this

august House. Tuan Speaker, on behalf of Tamin folks, I would like to thank Yang Amat Berhormat Chief

Minister for his approval for the following projects which are now under tender stage and some under construction stage. The projects are:

(a) Mini Sport Complex Selangau with a cost of RM8 million, now at tender stage; (b) Selangau Waterfront cost of RM5 million, now at tender stage; (c) Upgrading of Jalan Pasai-Siong cost of RM17 million, now is under construction stage; (d) Selangau New District office cost of RM5 million, now is under construction stage; (e) Upgrading of Jalan Sungai Bawang Kemena cost RM2 million, now is under construction

stage; and (f) Construction of multipurpose hall to the Chinese School cost of RM500, 000 now under

final stage of construction.

I would also like to thank the previous Government under Barisan Nasional for the approved new Balai Bomba in Selangau with a cost of RM5 million which is now under construction stage as well.

Infrastructure – Road

Tuan Speaker, I hereby would like to follow-up on the following roads proposed in DUN Tamin

raised in the previous DUN sitting for upgrading of existing road and construction of the new road. Proposed roads for upgrading:

(a) Jalan Nanga Tajam to Nanga Dijih Tamin, Oya Sibu, because this road is on low land

and subject flooding so I hope the Minister in charge can look into this road and upgrade to the high level;

(b) Jalan Sapudun Balingian, Sibu; and (c) Jalan Rumah Janggit to Rumah Bubong Ulu Dijih Tamin.

Proposed for new roads:

(a) Jalan Rumah Pengarah to Rumah Emong Ulu Mukah, Sibu; (b) Jalan Sk. Pakoh to Nanga Bunau Ulu Oya, Sibu;


34

(c) Jalan Sk. Nanga Selangau to Rumah Dinggai Ulu Mukah, Sibu; and (d) Jalan Rumah Bubong to Nanga Dijih Tamin Oya, Sibu.

I also wish to appeal that for the abandon logging road to be upgraded from earth road to

gravel road which would allow for better access to the public. The affected areas are located at Ulu Oya, Ulu Pakoh, Ulu Mukah and Ulu Selangau.

Water Supply

Tuan Speaker, the Federal Government under previous Barisan Nasional Government has

approved a fund amounting to RM40 million to upgrade the existing water treatment plant in Pekan Stapang Sibu and also an additional budget of RM22.5 million for the lying of pipelines. This project will benefit the area of Sekuau, Jalan Nanga Tajam, Batu 36 Tamin up to Kua Ulu Mukah. Despite the change of the Government, I hope this project will be continued and commenced soon because supply of treated water within these areas are in very critical condition.

Tuan Speaker, I was made to understand that the water treatment plant in Selangau town also

supplies treated water to the coal plant in Mukah. Therefore, the people from Pekan Selangau to Pekan Arip are unable to have treated water due to low capacity of water treatment plant. Therefore, I would like to suggest the following options:

(a) To disconnect the supply of water to coal plant and let them source the water from Mukah

water treatment plant to supply the coal plant in Mukah; or (b) Government to upgrade the existing water treatment plant in Selangau to increase the

capacity and supply the treated water to the community resettling along Sibu-Bintulu road.

Hereby, I appeal to the Government to look into these options seriously since supply of treated

water to the community resettling along the Sibu-Bintulu road is in critical condition especially during the dry season, as the community at the moment is depending on rain water and gravity feed water for their daily use.

Electricity Supply

Tuan Speaker, the folks of DUN Tamin appreciates the Government’s effort insupplying

electricity to their longhouses. Nevertheless, there are still some longhouses near the power gridline yet to be connected with electricity.

(a) Rumah Randi, Rumah Eding, Rumah Empurung, Rumah Santok, Rumah Utul, Rumah

Layang Ulu Manga, Rumah Umar Nanga Palak, Rumah Rose Kampung Sungai Ipoh and private houses along Jalan Didih;

(b) Rumah Denny Sebun, Rumah Ansi Sungai Sepiring, Rumah Akat Sungai Arang, Rumah Tawan, Rumah Lumpuh, Rumah Dunak, Rumah Jama, Rumah Ayong, Rumah Kumbong, Sungai Sepudun, Rumah Ambrose Sait, Rumah Johannes and Rumah Enjup Tang Taroh;

(c) Rumah Udi, Rumah Randi, Rumah Jabing, Rumah Anthony Nanga Stutong, Ulu Pakoh; (d) Rumah Minggi, Rumah Baie, Rumah Jangan and Rumah Abdul Rahman Jalan Bukit

Tanggie, Sibu; (e) Rumah Agnes, Rumah Dindang and Rumah Manjah Batu 20 Jalan Oya Jalan Nanga

Sebatu/Kawasan Ulu Selangau; (f) Rumah Akok Jalan Nanga Tajam; (g) Rumah Jimin and Rumah Linggi Sungai Bukut, Balingian; (h) Rumah Rosni, Nanga Nirai, Selangau; and (i) Rumah Tukau Nanga Sebatu, Selangau.


35

I appeal to the State Government for allocation and to consider these projects as critical and to be given top priority to be implement.

Meanwhile, the longhouses that are unable to receive electricity supply from the power grid

line, I suggest alternative to these longhouses under program introduced by Government namely SARES or Solar System.

NCR Land Development

Tuan Speaker, I would like to thank the State Government for the opening of NCR land for

development in DUN Tamin especially for oil palm industry. For many years, this industry has been implemented through JV between NCR landowners and private sector. I would like to inform this august House there are about 64,789 hectares of NCR land involving 2,344 participants in DUN Tamin.

Tuan Speaker, I therefore like to request to issue the individual land title to the landowners

under Section 18. This is an assurance to their heirs and to avoid land disputes when the JV agreement expire or mature.

I would also like to request to the Government to carry out the perimeter survey under Section

6 and Section 18 for DUN Tamin.

Digital Economy

Tuan Speaker, now I want to touch about Digital Economy. I am in support of the government budget for RM1 billion which was announced during last DUN sitting, allocation to upgrade ICT infrastructure throughout the State, in line with the government policy for digital economy, I wish to request that the people in DUN Tamin to benefits from this budget.

Therefore, Tuan Speaker, it is rightly so if the Government may install more telecommunication

tower so as to improve internet access for the community in the DUN Tamin.

Education

Finally, I want to ask about education for DUN Tamin. Tuan Speaker, I request to State Government to repair dilapidated schools in Tamin and to provide with good facilities such as electricity supply from the grid line to the place such as electricity supply from genset, treated water supply, internet access and so on.

I also request to the State Government to relocated the schools which are subject to flood

prone and move to the high ground. I also wish to follow up on the progress of proposed SMK Selangau which was approved by

previous Federal Government for an amount of RM88 million on the 7th May 2016 by the former the Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Sri Zahid Hamidi.

Tuan Speaker, I know the time is up, I conclude my speech and beg to move the Motion of

Appreciation to the Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak on the 29th April 2019. Before I end my speech, I would like to wish Sarawakians Selamat Berpuasa to our muslim

friends and Selamat Hari Gawai to our fellow Dayaks. Sekian, terima kasih. Sarawak First. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Dudong.


36

YB Datuk Tiong Thai King: Tuan Speaker, thank you for allowing me to participate in the debate on the Motion of Appreciation to the Royal Address by Tuan Yang Terutama in this august House on 29th April 2019.

Tuan Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri for the wise advice and encouragement that he gave during his opening address. We will continue to give full support to the Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister of Sarawak and work hand-in-hand to ensure the develop and prosperous State of Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, I wish to highlight a few issues for the State Government to seriously consider

and realize for the development of the State and well-beings of its people particularly to Sibu.

Merger of Under-Enrolled Schools

Firstly, Tuan Speaker, to date, record of Sarawak education department revealed that there are more than 600 schools with less than 150 students and more than 1,000 schools with less than 300 students in Sarawak. The optimal sizes of schools for them to be effective are 300 to 400 pupils for primary school and 600 to 1,000 for secondary schools. It stands to reason that schools with low enrolment will be at a distant disadvantage in marshalling the resources required to ensure not just quality education but even to perform at par.

So far, the academic performance of rural schools has not been better than the academic

performance in urban schools. Rural schools which, unsurprisingly, are the worst off, lag well behind, particularly where the teaching of Science and Mathematics is concerned. Again, it is noted that the performances or achievements of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programmes in the State among the secondary school is low.

Enrolment in the science stream further dropped and shockingly also less at tertiary level in

Sarawak. There is great concern on how we can achieve the National target of 60% enrolment for STEM - major in universities when 70% - 80% of future jobs are expected to be engineering and science based.

Tuan Speaker, one solution is to merge the under-enrolled schools. No doubt, it is a worthy,

right and commendable emphasis by our State Government and it cannot have come at a more opportune moment. In view of the benefits to the under-enrolled schools which are also under-resourced, we should support the State Government in pursuing the path of persuasion, to get consent of parents and students in this move. Small Chinese and missionary schools are encouraged to at least merge among themselves. Our concern is to provide our young Sarawakians with better school facilities, and for them to be taught by specialist teachers, so that we can improve the State’s overall academic performance.

While proactive intervention by the State authorities is timely, it also needs to be a strategic

plan which seeks to supplement and complement Federal efforts. The bulk of funding for education purposes will still have to be sourced from the Federal budget and nobody will be served unless State and Federal efforts in this regard are well coordinated and hopefully properly synchronized.

It is important that both State and Federal education officials must work on the assumption that

their efforts will all contribute to greater added value to public education in Sarawak.

Teaching Mathematics and Science in English in Primary Schools

Secondly, teaching Mathematics and Science in English in Primary Schools. It is encouraging

to note that our Sarawak Government has agreed to be the first State to implement the teaching of Mathematics and Science in English for primary schools in the State soon. Certainly, this initiative is


37

expected to boost English proficiency of the students at the early stage of education as well as enhance student’s future employ ability opportunities.

Tuan Speaker, at the same time efforts are also taken to ensure that the importance of our

National language is not neglected. English is a widely used international language. Allowing English to be medium of language for Mathematics and Science in primary school will help to nurture more Malaysians to be multilingual and they would not only good in Bahasa Malaysia but also in English and Mandarin.

In fact, ASEAN countries are also looking up to Malaysia in terms of its implementation

boosting the English standards in both the schools and in the working world. Besides, mastering English since young will make it easy for secondary students to face the language challenge at the higher level. This is because the main language uses in universities and higher learning institutions is English. If students had built a strong foundation in English, it will make their study lives much easier in future.

Apart from this, English is the language of Science and Technology. To teach Mathematics

and Science in English in Primary Schools will give more advantages to the students in the long run as more than 95% of science and scientific articles on the internet web pages are written in English. This good policy would further enhance Malaysian students’ competitiveness in this modern challenging era.

Additionally, the Malaysian Agreement of 1963 provided and allowed the use of English in the

State Assembly, Courts, State Cabinets in Sabah and Sarawak. Although the English language implementation process will definitely be an uphill battle, but we hope that with the collaborated efforts for the both State and Federal Government, the implementation of the programme will be successful for the development of our human capital towards progress of our nation in future.

Quota System for the Matriculation Programme

Thirdly, Tuan Speaker, I would like to touch on quota system for Matriculation Programme. Matriculation Programme is popular as it is much cheaper than pursuing other pre-university courses at private institutions, apart from allowing greater chances of entering public universities.

Since year 2005, the selection process for the Malaysian Matriculation Programme is done

through the race-based quota system, whereby 90% of the places are reserved for Bumiputera students while the remaining 10% are open for non Bumiputera.

Recently, the Cabinet decided to increase the student intake into this programme from 25,000

to 40,000 but maintaining the quota system which allocates 90% of seats for the Bumiputera and 10% for the non-Bumiputera. Even if matriculation colleges can fill the seats, the infrastructure of these colleges will not be able to support the 40,000. The move does not address the core problem of the issues – the 90:10 ratio. Many non-Bumiputera high achievers will still get side-lined. The government punts the problem into the future – but all sides are also presenting rather parochial and half-baked ideas.

In recent weeks, it is so heartbroken to see many non-Bumiputera students who excelled in

the SPM examinations were denied entry into Matriculation programme. The current policy of racial quotas for matriculation intake is unjustifiable, unreasonable and unlawful. Indeed, the system is an unfair playing field and racially segregated. Understandably, this has caused great frustration, disappointment and cries among the diligent students. The whole experience had made them question their love for the country.

The entry should be strictly on merit. The system should nurture talent. It is entirely reasonable,

and more than sufficient, to allocate opportunity by taking into accounts academic ability and


38

potential, not just ethnicity. But we are creating generations of people who think this country is unfair as the centres are paid by taxpayers.

In this regard, our country needs to streamline pre-university exams for all races to create true

meritocracy. Otherwise, our talented students will leave and they do as they feel that the country does not appreciate them.

An unjust education system was partly the reason for Malaysia’s brain-drain problem.

According to the World Bank, the ethnic Chinese make up the majority of the brain drain from Malaysia. Therefore, race based quota system does not help the development of our education system, which will instead lead to more talent exodus.

Today, with neo-liberal education and privatization, education has become so expensive and

unaffordable. So now, there is a huge demand for matriculation because it is fully subsidized. The current system based on racial quotas will continue to segregate our society and will

continue to give race-based politicians from both sides of the divide an excuse to continue to politicize education. At the end of the day, our education system will continue to be tainted with accusations of discrimination and this will further divide the people.

Imagine if young people continue to be brought up based on a race-based quota education

system. What kind of perception will they take home as leaders of our nation in the future. Matriculation entry is an educational right. The main deficiency in the system is that it

underequips their students academically. It does not cultivate academic rigour and confidence. The grievances of non-Bumiputeras on not getting access are valid.

Harapan must be brave enough to bring a new culture based on equality and justice. The

government should end the current practice of prioritizing Bumiputera students in its pre-university, matriculation programme as this also goes against the Federal Constitution’s guarantee of no discrimination against citizens. Every student deserves their right to education without discrimination, regardless of their race. Therefore, the race-based quota system should be abolished.

Granting Citizenship to Stateless Sarawakian Children

Fourthly Tuan Speaker, statelessness is an issue that has plagued Malaysia for years, especially in the States of Sabah and Sarawak. Many applications to grant citizenship to stateless Sarawakian children had either been rejected or were not acted upon over the years. These stateless children who cannot work have developed social problems.

Understandably, no parents want their children to have non-citizen status. Sarawak has large

number of foreign labourers in various industries. Circumstances have forced them to experience this tragic situation.

However, these stateless children lead normal lives with good behaviour. They are not

criminals. But they cannot work or enjoy the benefits of citizen due to their stateless status. As reported by UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), statelessness can

lead individuals to feel insecure and frightened to move around, especially when government officials are present. Solving this problem needs a humanitarian act to ensure no children are left behind.

It is unfortunate that even with access to education under a new Zero Reject Policy in 109, the

reality is that without citizenship, these children are still limited in many areas like freedom of movement, employment opportunities, scholarships and so on.


39

We must direct our efforts towards relieving the plight of these stateless children. They are born in Sarawak. Sarawak is still underpopulated with vast areas and resources. We should accept them on humanitarian ground and fight for power in MA63 to grant them citizenship. This will also benefit the development of Sarawak in the long run. Many western countries have also given citizenship even to immigrants.

On this note, the approach of the Home Ministry towards the problem of stateless children was

irresponsible and contrary to the Federal Constitution. It was not only against the law and Constitution, but also against the Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto, which recognized the problem of statelessness in Malaysia. Why is the Home Ministry bent on wrongly interpreting the Constitution to the prejudice and disadvantage of guiltless children and rendering them stateless? To adopt the course suggested by the Home Ministry would be to punish the innocent child simply for being illegitimate, which is unjust and inhuman.

Besides Tuan Speaker, it was common for the application under Article 15A to take several

years to process and frequently resulting in repeated rejection while the stateless child remained in limbo. The PH government’s answer in Parliament that the children can apply under Article 15A was the standard response given by the past government. It is a transparent delaying tactic to deny citizenship to desperate stateless children.

Apart from this, the discriminatory laws which affect the lives of many Malaysians and their

families are inconsistent with the spirit of the Federal Constitution, which guarantees equality and prohibits gender discrimination. In a democracy based on rule of law, all citizens must be treated as equal before the law and thus, be given equal right to confer nationality on their children and spouses, regardless of gender.

In addition, Malaysia’s discriminatory nationality law also conflicts with the UN Convention on

the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), both of which Malaysia has ratified. If Malaysia does not reform its nationality laws, it would be left behind, as more and more countries move to eliminate gender discrimination in their nationality laws.

Currently, Malaysia is one of only three countries in the world that deny men equal right in

conferring nationality on children who are not born within a legally recognized marriage and one of the only 25 countries that deny women the right to confer nationality on their children on an equal basis with men. In this regard, we must leave no one behind and ensure that our nationality laws upheld gender equality, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Additionally, maybe the United Nations would even push Malaysia to be party to the UN’s 1945

and 1961 Convention on Statelessness that have yet to be ratify. Nevertheless, we are a party to the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child 1990, which states in Article 7.1 that the child has a right to a nationality.

Sarawak Government had been doing its best by forming a special taskforce to help stateless

children be recognized as Malaysian citizens. We should fight for Sarawak having its own authority to give citizenship to our stateless children. It is our hope that the Home Ministry would exercise good judgement in reaching a sensible decision, which would allow these individuals to live their lives like any other citizens. On all issues, Harapan political parties as a coalition should be on the same page on major issues but there seems to be no consensus...(interuption)... Timbalan Speaker: Member for Dudong can you conclude, we are running out of time. YB Datuk Tiong Thai King: Ya, okay. Almost finish. Harapan is supposed to be a coalition of hope. We thought the new government will have a more progressive attitude. But so far, it is not giving much hope with its numerous U-turn and unkept promises. Tuan Speaker, before I conclude, I wish


40

to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Datuk Amar Speaker for your wisdom in ensuring that the proceedings in this august House were conducted with dignity and proper decorum. Sekian, terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, today is Friday. We take an earlier break so the sitting is adjourned and the House shall resume its sitting at 2.30 p.m. this afternoon.

(Mesyuarat ditangguhkan pada jam 12.09 tengah hari)

(Mesyuarat dimulakan pada jam 2.48 petang)

(Timbalan Speaker mempengerusikan Mesyuarat)

SAMBUNGAN PERBAHASAN USUL PENGHARGAAN ATAS UCAPAN TUAN YANG TERUTAMA YANG DI-PERTUA NEGERI SARAWAK

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, under Standing Order 31(8), I hereby limit Members’ speeches on Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri’s address to a maximum of 15 minutes. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Meradong. YB Datuk Ding Kuong Hiing: Thank you, Tuan Speaker, for allowing me to take part in the debate, a motion of thanks to His Excellency Governor of Sarawak during His opening address to this DUN Sitting, among many other issues asked by His Excellency, one particular issue is that he is pleased with the government’s effort to negotiate the rights and privileges under MA63. He urged the government to do the negotiation through proper channel and this is what we are doing right now. Tuan Speaker, please allow me to go into a few local issues in my constituency.

On behalf of the people of Meradong District, I wish to thank the Right Honourable Chief Minister for approving the Upgrading of Water Supply Project in Meradong which is, at present, in the design stage. Once the project is completed it will solve the water problem for the district and its surrounding areas.

However, the project is going to take two years to complete and therefore, remedial actions

must be taken to alleviate the acute shortage of water supply in the meantime. Here I would like to thank the Ministry of Utilities for setting up a 5 million litre per day water treatment plant to supplement the existing Temudak Treatment Plant which is producing about 12 million litre per day at the moment. This is a positive step taken by the Ministry to help us to overcome the serious water shortage.

Apart from that, I would like to list down some pressing issues faced by JBALB on the ground,

which I hope the Ministry can look into seriously :-

(a) Lack of manpower in JBALB Meradong, especially the technical staff on the ground for identifying and locating the pipe bursts;

(b) Lack of transportation for the said technical staff; and (c) There are more than 200 kilometer of existing AC or asbestos cement pipes or PVC

pipes in Meradong District that are prone to bursting and this will only get worse when the upgrading works are completed which will obviously resulting in higher water pressure. Therefore, all these aging pipes need to be replaced during these two years in preparation for the commissioning of the newly upgraded water suppy system.


41

Proposed Improvement And Upgrading Of Bintangor Water Front

The people of Meradong vividly remember a proposed project to improve the Bintangor Water Front many years back but unfortunately was postponed due to technical problem. Bintangor has long been neglected partly due to it being represented by opposition ADUN for the previous two terms. Not much projects were given to this humble town, famous for her Limau Bintangor, Pamelo and Udang Galah.

Therefore, I would like to plead with the Right Honourable Chief Minister to allocate project for

the Proposed Improvement and Upgrading of Bintangor Water Front as soon as possible so as to improve the outlook of Bintangor Town and also to create a much needed and suitable venue for many leisure activities for the local folks.

Teachers for Pendidikan Khas Classes

I wish to take this opportunity to inform the authority concerned on the shortage of trained

teachers for Pendidikan Khas Classes at SMK Bandar Bintangor. While I am trying my best to assist in providing a better and more conducive environment for these special students by way of providing necessary infrastructure, it is very frustrating to note that we are lacking properly trained teachers to provide special education to these less fortunate children. There are 29 students in the school and if according to Education Ministry’s standard it should have four classrooms with each class having six to eight students and a total number of seven teachers. However, at the moment we only have five teachers and out of the five, only two are trained teachers. Although the other three are now undergoing Kursus Pendedahan Asas Pendidikan Khas.

Referendum Ordinance

A referendum is a form of direct democracy that will increase political participation of the voters

in between general elections. Recently, it has been the people’s voice on the ground calling for referendum on matters of

paramount importance to Sarawak rights and interests, in particular on matters concerning MA63 and the amendments of Federal Constitution.

I, therefore, call upon all my fellow honourable members of this august House to seriously

consider and study the viability of a referendum ordinance that will further uphold our democracy by honouring our people’s aspirations which this august House is tasked to do all the time. Let Sarawak be the first State in Malaysia to lead the way in referendum, a democratic way to let our people speak their minds and wishes as propagated by our party forefathers some 60 years ago.

Matriculation Intake 2019

On the recent announcement by the Education Minister to increase the intake of matriculation

students from 25,000 to 40,000 with the quota remain at 90:10 and without increase in the intake of IPTAs and as SUPP Education Bureau Chief, I am very concerned with the dilemma faced by the STPM students.

The total estimated vacancies of IPTAs in our country is about 43,000 and if 40,000 of them

are to be taken up by matriculation students then we are left with only 3,000 vacancies for about 50,000 STPM students to fight it out. This is most unfortunate and unacceptable and need to be addressed immediately.

To make matter worst, the Pakatan Harapan Sarawak leaders though being part of the Federal

Government, chose to remain silent and failed to address this most unfair treatment to STPM


42

students. And the same can be said to the many empty promises by Pakatan Harapan Sarawak. I’ll confine to Sarawak only.

Empty Promises by Pakatan Harapan Sarawak

Tuan Speaker, Pakatan Harapan has made many promises during GE-14 but chose to ignore

and refuse to admit and apologise to the people when they could not fulfil them. It has been almost a year and I would like to quickly remind or refresh their mind on those promises as follows:-

(A) 7 Guaranties for Sarawak Within 1 Year by Pakatan Harapan Sarawak

1) 20% Petroleum royalties and 10% of the revenue will be declared petro cash dividents for Sarawakians.

2) RM1 billion for the repair and upgrading of dilapidated rural schools and provision

of facilities and increased staffing. 3) A stable price support system for farmers in raw rubber and raw pepper. 4) Subsidised public bus services in all major towns. 5) Expedite process of identity card registration and birth certificate applications. 6) All religions in Sarawak will have equitable access to development in line with

Article 3 and Article 11 of the Federal Constitution. All religions shall enjoy

equitable distribution of building funds and lands. 7) (a) Solar, micro-hydro and biogas power options for rural communities still without

access to electricity. (b) Shall not support the provision of Federal Government loans or grants

for the construction of any mega hydro-electricity dams.

(B) And they of course, there have this The Bintulu Declaration which I’m not going to repeat because our Honourable Member for Nangka already spelled out very clearly two days ago.

So it is very clear that Pakatan Harapan cannot deliver and the saying goes to err is human

but unfortunately our Honourable Members from the other side just can’t be man enough to admit that they can’t deliver and apologize to the people.

With the above observation, I beg to support the motion of thanks to his excellency the

Governor’s opening address for the 1st Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Eighteenth Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak.

And before I sit down, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Dayak Friends Selamat

Hari Gawai and to our Muslim friends, Selamat Hari Gawai.. thank you Tuan Speaker, ah.. sorry… Selamat Hari Raya. Selamat berpuasa. Thank you, Tuan Speaker. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Tanjung Datu. YB Datuk Amar Hajah Jamilah Binti Haji Anu: Bismillahirahmanirahim. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahiwabarakatuh. Salam sejahtera,

Tuan Speaker, first and foremost I convey my greatest appreciation to YB Datuk Tuan Speaker for giving me this opportunity to participate in the debate to support the motion of thanks to the address by the Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud Yang di-Pertua Negeri

Sarawak delivered on Monday, April 29th, 2019.


43

In the address, the Yang di-Pertua Negeri touched on matters of great importance to our beloved State, on matters affecting the life of Sarawakians, the rakyat, especially on policies of the Government of day, the GPS Government, to improve the socio-economic well-being of the rakyat.

This prompts me to convey the appreciation and gratitude from the rakyat in my constituency

to the Sarawak Government and especially to Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi

(Dr.) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, for approving a large number of people centric projects to a tune of RM346 million for a period for the year 2018 to the year 2020. This amount consists of the projects such as Rambungan Bridge (RM124 million), a new

eight bridges (RM100 million), Sematan floating pontoon (RM5 million), CENTEXS (RM129 million), water treatment and supply (RM44.8 million), hawker centre (RM4.0 million), Lundu and Sematan

Waterfront (RM11.2 million), landscape, MRP and RTP’s. In this three year development, my constituency will benefit greatly from those projects.

However, let me say it here that it takes some time for the agencies to implement those projects as these agencies are required to adhere to the procedures and good governance.

Oleh yang demikian, saya menyeru penduduk di kawasan saya untuk bersabar dan saya akan

pastikan semua projek ini akan dilaksanakan mengikut jadual dengan jayanya.

Jajaran Lebuhraya Pan Borneo

We give credit where credit is due. This is for the case of the Pan Borneo Highway, the Sematan to Telok Melano stretch. Construction commenced in 2016, and it was completed in 2018.

The first stretch of the 33km Pan Borneo Highway was officiated by Yang Amat Berhormat

Chief Minister on the 26th January 2019. Thank you Yang Amat Berhormat CM.

Cadangan Projek Pembesaran Kampung

Tuan Speaker and Honourable Members, masih lagi berkaitan dengan Pan Borneo Highway. Jajaran atau alignment lebuhraya tersebut dari Lundu ke Kuching sebelum Jambatan Batang Kayan telah menjejaskan jalan masuk ke Kampung Stunggang Baru. Oleh itu, saya memohon agar Kerajaan meluluskan peruntukan untuk membina jalan baharu sebagai jalan alternatif. Jajaran jalan baharu ini akan menjadi jalan utama kepada projek Skim Pembesaran Kampung Stunggang Baru (SPK) yang mana tapak untuk projek ini sudah diluluskan.

Dalam pada itu, belum ada sebarang kemajuan tentang projek tersebut setakat ini.

Sehubungan dengan itu, saya memohon agar Kerajaan dapat sekaligus meluluskan peruntukan untuk kerja-kerja tapak termasuk menimbus serta penyediaan infrastruktur asas untuk pembesaran kampung tersebut.

Setelah itu, saya mencadangkan agar skim perumahan mampu milik rakyat untuk memberi

kemudahan dan manfaat kepada mereka yang terlibat dalam projek pembesaran kampung tersebut. Seterusnya saya ingin mengetengahkan isu berkenaan dengan rancangan Projek Pemajuan

Kawasan (PPK) oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan yang mana tapak PPK bertempat di Matang Terap, Lundu ini sudah diluluskan oleh Kerajaan Negeri. PPK tersebut bernilai RM30 juta dan merangkumi komponen pembinaan 100 unit rumah, dewan masyarakat, tabika, surau serta infrastruktur asas.

Rumah-rumah ini disediakan kepada penduduk-penduduk di mana kediaman mereka diancam

oleh hakisan tebingan sungai Batang Kayan. Tetapi, sehingga kini, projek tersebut belum bermula dan oleh itu saya memohon agar pihak berkenaan, khasnya Kementerian yang berkaitan dapat menyegerakan pelaksanaan projek ini dalam masa yang terdekat.


44

Pembangunan Usahawan Tempatan

Tuan Speaker dan Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat, saya amat menyokong usaha Kerajaan menyediakan pelbagai latihan kemahiran dan program peningkatan pendapatan, termasuklah projek keusahawanan dan industri kecil-kecilan. Di samping itu, Kerajaan juga giat menyediakan kemudahan tempat untuk para usahawan dan peniaga-peniaga.

Oleh itu, saya berterima kasih atas kelulusan projek pembinaan Anjung Usahawan di Sematan

dengan nilai projek sebanyak RM4 juta dan saya telah terlibat bersama agensi pelaksana dari mula pada peringkat perancangan sehingga ke reka bentuk. Kita juga melibatkan semua pihak, terutama sekali para usahawan dan peniaga-peniaga yang akan menjadi ‘stakeholder’ kepada Anjung Usahawan tersebut nanti.

Dalam pada itu, saya juga ingin mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan untuk mempertimbangkan

sebuah lagi Anjung Usahawan untuk ditempatkan di Kampung Telok Melano. Saya mendapati kawasan baharu ini mempunyai potensi yang besar untuk dibangunkan. Pada masa ini belum terdapat apa-apa kemudahan yang sesuai terdapat di kawasan tersebut.

Saya bercadang agar Anjung Usahawan tersebut nanti menjadi sebuah pusat kemudahan

bersepadu, lengkap dengan prasarana untuk kemudahan berniaga dan sebagai penyumbang kepada ekonomi pelancongan Negeri Sarawak.

Ketenteraman dan Keselamatan Sempadan

I have touched on matters of security especially along the Sarawak-Kalimantan border of my

constituency during the last three sittings. However, I am dismayed that not much has happened since I first brought up the matter in this Dewan. Now with the completion of the Sematan-Telok Melano highway, opportunity is very much ample and a plenty for border intrusion by our neighbour, both by land and by sea through Tanjong Datu National Park.

Therefore, I urge the relevant authority, Majlis Keselamatan Negeri to bring this matter up to

the Federal counterpart to have this border security matter addressed forthwith.

Pembangunan Modal Insan

At every sitting of this Dewan, I never fail to speak on education, a subject very close to our

heart. In the development of CENTEXS, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for this project. In the other hand, I would like to ask on the planning for the development of matriculation centre planned to be built in Sematan previously. I urge the Ministry and agency concerned to give information on the status of this project.

The recent allocation of a meagre RM100 million against the RM1.0 billion agreed by the

previous Federal Government, on top of the annual allocation already approved, could only cover 32 schools out of 1,020 dilapidated schools specifically under my consistency we have 7 dilapidated schools are affected. These include SK Telok Melano, SK Pueh, SK Pugu, SK Rambungan, SK Stunggang Melayu, SK Stunggang Temelan and SK Sebat. I hope all of these schools to be giving priority consistent with my balance strategic plan proposal.

In relation, this is a bold step for the Government to adhere the opportunity for our children

further their study in the state. At the same time to improve education system nationwide.

Alam Sekitar Yang Mampan

Tuan Speaker, sebagaimana yang semua sedia maklum, kawasan saya dianugerahkan dengan keindahan alam sekitar seperti pantai-pantai yang indah seperti di Rambungan, Sampadi,


45

Pandan, Pugu, Abang Amin Sematan dan Telok Serabang serta Telok Melano. Kawasan saya juga dipagari dengan Taman Negara Tanjung Datu, Gunung Gading, Gunung Pueh dan Pusat Hidupan Liar Samunsam. Apa gunanya anugerah indah ini jika saya serta rakyat Tg. Datu khasnya dan pengunjung-pengunjung dari serata Sarawak amnya jiwa mereka tidak peka untuk memelihara khazanah alam ini baik dari segi pemuliharaan mahupun pemeliharaan kebersihan.

Saya begitu mengambil berat akan perkara ini kerana pemeliharaan alam sekitar, kebersihan

dan mengekalkan kehijauan alam untuk dilihat oleh generasi yang akan datang kelak. Dengan sikap cakna akan keindahan alam sekitar inilah saya sekali lagi menyeru agar pihak Kementerian Pelancongan dapat mengambil langkah atau pendekatan jangka pendek dengan menyediakan kemudahan prasarana, melaksanakan program kesedaran alam sekitar dan pembangunan modal insan yang selari dengan Pelan Induk Persisir Pantai Lundu-Sematan 2015.

Another matter that I would like to bring to the attention of this House is the lack of enthusiasm

of our people towards preserving the environment. Keeping our surrounding clean and tidy is problematic.

In this august House I welcome all the visitors to our new attractive tourism areas of Telok

Melano and Telok Serabang. Thanks to the government on the completion of the Pan Borneo Highway to this area. However, I am appalled and disgusted of the visitor’s attitude of not taking care of the cleanliness and environment. The picturesque scenery of the villages is spoilt by the unsightly presence of rubbish.

No matter how much effort the local authority puts in keeping the area clean, without the

cooperation and understanding of everyone of us, their effort will be rendered futile. I urge our fellow Sarawakians, please help us preserve the beauty and the tranquillity of these areas by “take nothing except picture and leave nothing except foot prints”.

The matter of solid waste management brings me to another issue. The local council has been

directed to close the existing dumpsite in Kampung Stunggang, Lundu. Therefore, there is no objection on the directive as the dumpsite has caused nuisance to the locals. However, how could the Council comply with the directive when the planned budget for the new landfill which was approved in the 11th Malaysia Plan with the new site identified in Stungkor, half way between Lundu and Bau is not enough? The new landfill was to cater for both councils, Lundu and Bau District Councils.

We don’t want this project to be delayed further, therefore we would appreciate it very much if

the authorities concerned start the ball rolling to address this issue before we face the stinky environment later.

Tuan Speaker, I will not touch anymore on MA63 as I have spoken at length on this matter on

the support of the Motion to amend the Federal Constitution last Tuesday. I pray that the Federal Government in good spirit would heed and accede to our stand on the matter.

I wish to reiterate that the State Government is people-centric and we as the Wakil Rakyat

must work hand in glove with the civil servants to ensure that all the policies are duly translated and executed to the benefit of the rakyat.

In closing, I must thank again, Tuan Speaker for giving me the opportunity to debate the Motion

of thanks to the address by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak. I wish all my Muslim friends ‘Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak’ dan

seterusnya Selamat Hari Raya and to my Dayak friends, ‘Selamat Ari Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai’. I beg to support. Sekian, terima kasih.


46

Timbalan Speaker: Perfect timing. Honourable Member for Ngemah. YB Encik Alexander Anak Vincent: Tuan Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the debate on the Motion of appreciation to the royal address by Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak in this august House on 29th April 2019.

First, I would like to congratulate Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak for giving a comprehensive address on various important subject pertaining to issues, ideas, agenda and policies needed for the continuous development of the State.

Despite the defeat of the then Barisan Nasional at the national level in the last 14th General

Election in 2018 that is last year, the State Government of Sarawak under the leadership of Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, continue to govern the State efficiently and effectively. By the formation of Parti Gabungan Sarawak (GPS), which was launched on the 9th of January this year, the State Government put Sarawak into a higher level and position to meet the aspiration of the people of Sarawak. Within less than half a year, GPS has grown to the full capacity and gain increasing support from the people of Sarawak. I believe, the State will continue to experience rapid growth in terms of physical and economic development under the GPS Government in years ahead. The GPS government through its slogan “Sarawak First” shows that the State Government is very committed in taking care of the well-being of the people in the State irrespective of their races, culture, religion and political differences.

Tuan Speaker, the move by the State Government to secure and pass a comprehensive

amendment of various Articles in the Federal Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2019 shows that the Sarawak Government or GPS Government is very serious in wanting to restore the Status of Sarawak under MA63, as well as to safeguard the legislative and executive power of the State which was eroded and diluted by the Federal Government since the formation of Malaysia.

The ministerial Motion moved by the Assistant Minister, Yang Berhormat for Samariang which

was passed unanimously in this DUN sitting definitely sends a very strong message to the Federal Government that the State is not happy with how it should be treated as equal partner since.

I believe the people of Sarawak will agree and support what the State Government is doing

and I do hope that the State Government would continue to find an appropriate way to negotiate and eventually return back the pertinent powers to the State. As Sarawakian, we believe that whatever is legally ours, belong to us should be given back to us.

On the other note, I wish to compliment the State Government under the leadership of YAB

Chief Minister of Sarawak for successfully implementing the 65 development initiatives in the State Agenda since he took office on the 13th of January 2017. The people of Sarawak should realize by now that the GPS Government is the most capable government who “Walk The Talk” in running the State unlike the PH Government who can only make thousands of promises to the people particularly in their last election manifesto, but in the end we don’t see much changes or light at the end of the tunnel.

I am happy to note that the State Government continues to have an excellent and clean record

of good credit rating in terms of financial management by the International Credit Agency. “Syabas” to GPS government. This will encourage more private investor from the outside to come to Sarawak and at the same time will boost up the economy for the State.

The continuous effort of the State Government to develop the rural areas of Sarawak should

be applauded and welcome by the rural people of Sarawak. There must be a balance of socio-economic, infrastructure and other facilities between the urban and rural areas to achieve the target of develop state by the year 2030. The formation of various agencies such as Upper Rajang


47

Development Agency (URDA), Highland Development Agency, Northern Region Development Agency and Integrated Regional Kota Samarahan Development Agency will boost up the socio-economic development in the rural areas concern. This will at the same time assist the government to develop and manage the local area efficiently and effectively.

On behalf of the people in my constituency, I would like to thank the State Government for

allocating RM100 million this year through URDA for the initial construction of long awaited 22 km Ng. Ngungun to Ng. Jagau Road. I wish to inform this Dewan that the amount is insufficient to complete the road with R2 standard. Therefore, it is sought that the Government will allocate more fund based on the consultation report which will be done very soon to complete the job.

Tuan Speaker, it is interesting to note that the State Government continue to focus on the use

of Digital Economy for various purposes such as tourism, industry, agriculture and smart city in the State. With the construction of Sarawak Digital Village at Sama Jaya, the people of Sarawak especially the young generation will have the chance to participate in the programme provided. This will at the same time facilitate and provide a transformative pathway to support innovation amongst the young generation. In line with this, I suggest that more Digital Innovation Hub to be established throughout the State at the divisional or district level.

The construction of more telecommunication towers and improvement of the existing towers

should be carried out throughout the State to improve the telecommunication service particularly in the rural areas. I wish to request from the State Government to construct more telecommunication towers in my constituency, as there are still very poor reception of internet and telecommunication in some parts of my constituency.

Tuan Speaker, I would like on behalf of the communities living in the three Rejang Security

Command area in my kawasan is under RASCOM resettlement area in my constituency namely, Ng. Tada, Ng. Ngungun, Ng. Jagau, RASCOM Resettlement area to put up some urgent request to the State Government. The three RASCOM Resettlement Area consists of 65 longhouses, approximately 1000 door with a population of approximately 4000 people.

Historically, during the time of communist insurgency in the year 1972, these people mostly

living in the very remote area of Ulu Sg. Tada and Ulu Sg. Ngemah were asked to move and resettled in the three resettlements under the Operation Bebatak by the RASCOM. They have to sacrifice everything including their ancestorial land for which they live and earn their living on to prevent them from being associated with the communist at that time by the Government. They were promised by the Government at that time to be given five acres of land per door for farming that is for planting padi, rubber, cash crop, pepper etc. and rearing of livestock. However, this matter remain unattended until today because of the lack of land area nearby compared to their original place where they used to do the farming to earn their living.

Despite this hardship, they still remain loyal to the Government and the State as a whole. I

therefore wish and urge the State Government to provide piece of land nearby the Resettlement Area concerned to ease their burden at the same time for them to continue with their farming activities.

Tuan Speaker, I wish to compliment the State Government Land policy to continuously allocate

substantial amount of funds to carry out the perimeter survey work of NCR land in the state. I like to address my sincere appreciation and thanks to the State Government for carrying out the perimeter survey of approximately 20,000 hectar of NCR land and gave away a gazette notification certificate under Section 6 of Land Code to 72 recipients in Ngemah Constituency recently that is on 15th April 2019.

In addition to that, a total of around 65,347 hectares of NCR land were given a title under

Section 18 to 33 recipients in Kanowit District. This shows that the State Government is very serious


48

in giving out the land title to the individual with the rightful owner in contradictory to the allegation made by the opposition to rob the NCR land from the people of Sarawak.

Last Tuan Speaker, but not least, I wish to end my speech by wishing my Muslim friends,

Selamat Berpuasa dan seterusnya Selamat menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri and to all my Dayak friends, Selamat Hari Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, Lantang Senang Nguan Menua, and with the slogan “Sarawak First” I beg to support the motion of appreciation to the royal address by Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak. Thank you. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Tanjong Batu. YB Encik Chiew Chiu Sing: Tuan Speaker, thank you very much for giving this opportunity to participate in this debate on the address by the Tuan Yang Terutama which was so graciously delivered in this august House on the 29th April 2019.

Tuan Speaker, six days short of a year ago, when Pakatan Harapan (PH) took over the government in Malaysia. That was the first time in the history of Malaysia that we have a change in government. Our country was deeply in debt then and still is, real debt and liability as at June 2018 was RM1,065 billion. Corruption was ugly, very seriously ugly indeed and many are afraid that if we do not do something quickly, the debt and corruption will bankrupt our nation.

Today, near one year later, we are in a better and more stable financial position then we were

before, but the devastation is still there. There is always not enough money in the pockets for many, businesses are weak, each day you walk down five foot way, it is so quiet, and there is hardly any crowd. Life has become even harder for those who live in the poverty line.

All these, Tuan Speaker, are not something new, as there are in fact the reason that is, debt

and corruptions that Pakatan Harapan won the election. The people had wanted change. But the problems which had been accumulating for 61 years, surely cannot be solved in one year. Pakatan Harapan government is now only asking for three years to bring back our economy to its positive track and that is by the end of 2021 and then to use ten more years from there on and move the country towards a high income economy country.

We faced big and difficult times in our country and the peoples expect us from both sides of

the aile, to work through our differences, and not in confrontation, to overcome the nation’s problem. For though the people who sent us here are from different racial, religious, economic backgrounds and walks of life but they all have the same aspirations that they want to have work, they want to have good business and they can live better and to leave behind a better future for our children.

It would be easy for Pakatan Harapan government to do what is popular to borrow money and

more money and give it to our people, spending recklessly as if there is no tomorrow. But the people have chosen us NOT because they just wanted these short term gain just to keep them happy, what they want is something that is real and necessary for themselves and for their next generations. The people wanted leadership. The new government now had taken steps to stabilize the financial system and she had also taken steps to get our economy growing again.

We do not want to bring the deficit problems into another generation. We must take meaningful

steps to bring down our debts, which could damage our markets, increase the cost of borrowing and jeopardize our recovery. All of which would have an even worse effect, on our job growth and family income.

We therefore can rest assured, that our country today will become better because of the

existence of our vigorous of the Pakatan Harapan, vigorous problem solving measures.


49

Of course, we should had never forget our outstanding civil force, the price they paid and the sacrifices that they made. For we know when the new government and the excellent civil force get into gear and rolling, it can only snowball to greater efficiency a success making the system better and better.

But the people are very frustrated to read news, to see the fights that we are engaged in, as if

every day is an election day. We cannot be in fighting forever, only to read the news or posting on Facebook, as to who is being embarrassed more, the belief that if you lose, I win. There is no need for that. We may even go so far as to say something about the other side, no matter how false, no matter how malicious, thinking that it is just a part of the game. That exactly is the thing that has stopped either party from helping our people. Worse still, it is sowing further division in us and further distrust in the Government.

Pakatan Harapan had campaigned on change and today many of us are not sure if they still

belief that we can change. But remember that we never suggested that change would be easy and that we could do it all alone. Our country is a very diverse country and we have been divided for so long racially, religiously, economically and regionally, and any time when you try to do big things and make big changes, you are bound to hit some nerves that could arouse great emotions and controversy.

So remember, we are here today, only because history had call for us to be here, because

there is, this generation of people who are not afraid to do what was difficult to do, but to do what was needed, to do what it takes to keep the Malaysian dream alive and continue on with our reforms …interruption

Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Tanjong Batu, are you? YB Encik Chiew Chiu Sing: No… No… No… on with our reforms, that the new Malaysia’s Pakatan Harapan clean governance allows our people to continue, to believe in the things that they should believe in, so that our children and our grandchildren could be better off.

Tuan Speaker, and there are few several issues in my constituency that I wish to bring out and I believe if they could be done, it would be good for the people there.

You know, Tuan Speaker, each time on arrival at the Bintulu airport from outside of Sarawak,

lucky if you have the aero bridge to use as you would be getting out of the plane at level one. You then would go straight to the immigration clearance which is situated on the first floor as well, you check through that and then you go down stairs either on an escalator or an elevator then to your baggage collection on the ground floor and then out.

But if you are not so lucky and have no aerobridge to use and get out of the plane by the plane

mobile ladder on to the tarmac, you will then have to walk a distance on the tarmac and then go up the staircase to the first level for immigration clearance.

Now that going up that staircase is most difficult for the elderly and those who have difficulty

walking or mothers with children or just carrying your hand luggage up the stairs. I have seen it so often and I empathise with those people.

Could we not move the immigration clearance point at level one to down stairs so that those

arriving on the tarmac would not have to climb the stairs for immigration clearance and those arriving at level one via the aerobridge can also use the escalator to go down plus if you are boarding the plane by the air plane mobile ladder you could also use the escalator or lift or the staircase, at least you can have a choice, use to be you can only use the staircase.


50

I urge the Administration to look into this matter seriously as it is really high time that this problem be solved. The older folks, the sick, the women and children had been suffering too long already because of this.

Tuan Speaker, Mr. Micheal Ngu of Lot 2407, No. 629B Taman Good Park at the Tanjong Batu

Road could not have stolen SESCO electricity, yet he was slabbed with a arrears bill of RM6,374.70. I have known him personally and he is man of honor, an honest straight man who abide by the rule of law, he wants to be a good citizen. All the 27 years that he is living there, second row to the seashore of the South China Sea at the above address, he has never, ever even touched the SESCO meter installed outside his living room wall. Yet when SESCO changed his meter sometimes in the middle of 2016 he was said to have tempered the meter and the seals had broken. Tuan Speaker, how could any bare 1 (mm), millimetre lead, exposed to the air from the open sea for 27 years not be worn out or broken? What more to say that of the SESCO meter seal?

Mr. Ngu has complained to the Engineer of the Bintulu SESCO office and they had discounted

him RM2,258.90. SESCO then demanded that he paid the rest of the bill or else his electricity will be cut off.

Tuan Speaker, you know how you would feel, when all the while you try to be a good and law

abiding citizen and yet someone say that you are dishonest and that you pay what I say you pay and if you don’t I will punish you, cut off your electricity supply. You feel so angry, you feel like vomiting blood.

I hope that SESCO can be more understanding, look around, understand the people and the

environment cannot be too rigid with the formula. Formula can be fallible too. Be reasonable and I urge that SESCO cancel the above said arrears.

Tuan Speaker, during the last DUN meeting I brought an issue of the people of Bintulu going

to the Old Bintulu town from Tanjong Batu and Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi. The people had wanted a road that goes directly fromthe traffic light there to Jalan Abang Galau at Marco Polo. It is only about 150 meters long.

I have talked about the reasons of the need to build the road. But regretfully the Bintulu

Development Authority (BDA) had not done anything about it and the people are getting very unhappy and frustrated.

All over Bintulu Town people are signing the petition to the Chief Minister to appeal to him to

build and open up the road. I can say almost ten out of ten when approached person to person to sign the petition, they are very enthusiastic about it and would signit with their names and IC numbers. Whether it is the Chinese, Iban, Malay, Orang Ulu or anybody. Male, female, young or old or whether they are in the shops or in the offices or at tamu or in the coffee shops, all of them, anywhere.

Today with me here is the names of 6295 people who hadsigned the petition. Here it is, 6295

signatures. Tuan Speaker, the message is very clear that the people in Bintulu want the road to be build. They need it. and I hope BDA will listen to the voices of the people, respect their wishes and see their needs and build the road without any further delay. After all we are here to serve the people to help them live happily. If that is what the people want, we do it for them as from the petition so signed, the decision that it must be built is overwhelming.

Tuan Speaker, people living at Taman Nyabau Height, Jalan Tun Hussein Onn, Bintulu

suffered great losses when the houses they bought were flooded in the middle of February this year and last few years also. Water went into their living rooms up to one foot high and damaged their sofa, carpets, TV and other electrical ware in the Kitchen. Now they are afraid when every time it rains whether it might flood again and even though it is midnight they have to get up and move their


51

belongings including moving their cars to higher grounds. In fact, last week it was flooded again. The water went in straight their house.

It is not right that they are made to suffer like this. Houses like this are not suitable for living.

How could the authority that gives out the occupation permit, allow people to stay in houses that would be flooded and them suffer? Tragedy could happen. We should protect our people and not let them live in houses like that.

I urge that the administration to be most cautious about flooding in Bintulu, help the Bintulu

people. Like at the Medan Jaya Farley Medan Court why did it get flooded again now that aTidal

Control gate had been built, completed 4 months ago, at Jalan Tun Razak. That is at the Tanjong Batu commercial centre. Flooded again, Tidal Control Gate. I urge that the Minister to look into this and enlighten the august House on this issue.

Tuan Speaker,19 house owners out of 61 at Hung Hung Garden at Jalan Sibiew Bintulu had

not got their occupation permits (OP), the houses, infrastructure had all been done for all the units. I understand that this is a case that there is a dispute on the land boundary where the developer that build the houses had built several inches over to the neighbouring land at the lower half of the developed land lot, causing one of the neighbouring land owners refusing to sign consent.

Living in houses and not be given OP, not because of safety issues, is not right. How could we

punish the house buyers and denied them of OP, when the issue here is land boundary, not building safety. It is an issue between the developer and the neighbouring land owner, we should not punish the house owners and let them suffer for something they have not done or know. In fact the certificate of practical completion CPC had already been issued by BDA. The house owners has put their whole saving into buying these house of his life time and now he has no OP and had been waiting for it for years.

I therefore urge that the OP be given to the house owners and they should not be victimized.

The land issue can be settled between the developer and the neighbouring land owner. Tuan, Speaker, hundreds of students from Taman Jade Garden walk to the nearby SMK

Bandar morning, afternoon and in the evening Monday to Friday, using the drain crossing between House number, 131 and 41, Jade Garden. This route is a short cut and shorten the other route going by the road side to the school, by couple of hundred meters. But unfortunately, the crossing nowis removed giving way to the drain widening works.

Could the Authority make a new crossing there, please? It is important and most useful to the

students as any shorter route is always a great relief walking under the hot sun these days. Tuan Speaker, just a little bit more, the Bintulu fisherman dreads the mouth of the Kemena

River as they go in and out of the sea each time to find their catch. This is because the river mouth is getting shallower and shallower.

Mishaps had already happened and again to the fishing boats there and the river mouth must

be cleared, considering the amount of siltation its carries from the development up stream pipe the Kemena river.

I therefore urge that the relevant authority could take immediate steps to dredge this river

mouth of the Kemena River before another mishap happens and with that thank you very much Tuan Speaker.

Timbalan Speaker: The Honourable Member for Kabong.

YB Encik Mohd. Chee Bin Kadir: Tuan Speaker, terima kasih atas peluang yang diberi untuk saya turut serta dalam perbahasan usul penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak.

Terlebih dahulu saya ingin merakamkan penghargaan kepada Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak yang telah menyampaikan ucapan yang menyentuh begitu banyak perkara yang membuktikan keprihatinan beliau terhadap Sarawak dan rakyatnya. Antara intipati ucapannya, beliau telah menyeru semua rakyat tanpa mengira fahaman politik agar memberi sokongan kepada YAB Ketua Menteri dalam rundingan untuk mengembalikan semula hak Sarawak di bawah Perjanjian Malaysia 1963.

Bagi menyahut seruan tersebut, empat hari yang lalu rakyat Sarawak melalui Ahli-ahli Dewan

Undangan Negeri yang mereka pilih telah sebulat suara meluluskan Ministerial Motion yang mahukan Perlembagaan Persekutuan dipinda untuk memberi Sarawak tahap sama rata dengan Malaya dan mengembalikan hak-hak Sarawak yang terhakis. Hak-hak Sarawak di bawah MA63 juga hendaklah diberi pengiktirafan. Saya mengharapkan Kerajaan Sarawak mengambil tindakan untuk menentukan status Akta Pembangunan Petroleum 1974 dan Continental Shelf Act dengan kadar segera kerana kedua-dua akta ini telah menghakiskan atau menidakkan hak-hak kita atas sumber alam yang kita milikki dan membenarkan orang lain mengambilnya.

Tuan Speaker, izinkan saya menyentuh perkara-perkara yang berkaitan dengan rakyat dan

kawasan yang saya wakili dan kasihi iaitu N.40 Kabong.

Bekalan Air

Kita amat berterima kasih atas keperihatian YAB Ketua Menteri yang telah memperuntukkan RM87 juta untuk menangani masalah bekalan air di kawasan Kabong. Pengumuman ini telah dibuat semasa program Sejiwa Senada di Saratok pada 22 April 2018. Lebih setahun telah berlalu, namun rakyat belum melihat permulaan kerja-kerja pemasangan paip dari tangki penyimpanan air di Simpang Roban ke pekan Kabong. Diharapkan pihak Jabatan Bekalan Air Luar Bandar bekerja kuat menyiapkan projek-projek berkaitan bekalan air ke pekan Kabong dan dilaksanakan dengan kadar yang segera.

Situasi bekalan air di pekan Kabong amat tidak memuaskan sejak beberapa tahun ini. Pihak

JBALB perlu menyegerakan (fast track) projek ini dengan menggunakan lebih banyak kontraktor untuk menyiapkannya dalam masa yang sesingkat mungkin. Maka, lagi cepat projek siap, lagi cepatlah penduduk di pekan Kabong menarik nafas lega.

Sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, bekalan air di Kabong semakin kritikal, lebih-lebih

lagi pada musim-musim perayaan. Maka, rakyat di Kabong memohon agar pihak JBALB membuat perancangan awal untuk mengatasi masalah ketiadaan bekalan air pada musim-musim tersebut dengan menyediakan penghantaran menggunakan lori mengikut sistem yang lebih efisien dan saya meminta supaya pihak JBALB memberi perhatian kepada Kampung Gerigat yang juga kerap mengalami masalah kekurangan bekalan air.

Selain daripada itu, saya sekali lagi merayu dan meminta Kementerian Utiliti untuk memberi

perhatian terhadap permohonan memasang paip di beberapa buah rumah panjang di Ulu Roban seperti Rumah Belayong, Rumah Chaong, Rumah Empaling dan Rumah Entengan. Saya memohon rakan seperjuangan ADUN N.39 Krian merangkap Ahli Parliman Saratok untuk memohon peruntukan daripada Kementerian Kemajuan Luar Bandar untuk melaksanakan projek tersebut.

Bekalan Elektrik

Kita amat berterima kasih atas penambaikan yang telah dilakukan oleh Syarikat SESCO yang telah membina satu talian tambahan dari Roban ke Kabong yang telah siap beberapa bulan yang


53

lalu. Kekerapan insiden black out kini semakin berkurangan. Walau bagaimanapun, rakyat di kawasan Kabong masih tertungu-tunggu pihak Syarikat SESCO membuat penyambungan bekalan elektrik ke rumah-rumah mereka. Pihak Pejabat Daerah telah menghantar permohonan-permohonan kepada jabatan yang berkaitan, namun sehingga kini penduduk-penduduk yang hampir 1000 jumlahnya masih tertunggu-tunggu.

Perhubungan Telekomunikasi

Dalam era digital ini, memang tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa isyarat telekomunikasi yang kuat

dan membolehkan penggunaan internet yang pantas dan cekap adalah antara prerequisite yang diperlukan untuk menggiatkan ekonomi digital yang kita ingin capaikan. Tetapi malangnya, kemudahan-kemudahan ini amat tidak memuaskan. Pihak Pejabat Daerah Kabong telah menghantar lokasi-lokasi yang perlu dibina menara-menara telekomunikasi untuk menambahbaik internet connectivity dalam kawasan Kabong. Sebagai contohnya, penduduk Kampung Nyabor mengalami kepayahan untuk berhubung atau menghubungi orang luar kerana ketiadaan coverage yang baik.

Pendidikan

Satu-satunya sekolah menengah di kawasan DUN Kabong, SMK Kabong, masih lagi beroperasi dengan dua sesi sejak lebih daripada 20 tahun. Pada penghujung tahun 2018, saya telah membantu dengan menggunakan MRP untuk mengubahsuai beberapa bangunan untuk dijadikan bilik darjah. Saya juga membantu membeli peralatan seperti kerusi dan meja. Saya amat hairan kenapa proses memberi kelulusan untuk operasi satu sesi mengambil masa yang begitu lama. Ketika ini, SMK Kabong belum lagi beroperasi dengan satu sesi seperti sekolah-sekolah lain. Begitu juga dengan pembinaan SK Abang Leman yang baru, yang telah begitu lama diluluskan tetapi hingga ke hari ini belum lagi dibina. Kelewatan ini amat mengecewakan rakyat Kabong dan meminta agar kerajaan prihatin dengan membina sekolah baharu dengan kadar yang segera.

Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini, untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Syarikat

PESW, BPSB, JV Sendirian Berhad yang akan membina satu blok bilik darjah, satu blok asrama dan sebuah rumah guru sebagai sumbangan CSR mereka kepada SK Engkabang. Majlis Pecah Tanah telah dilakukan pada 25 April 2019.

Fasiliti Sukan

Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa kegiatan bersukan, selain daripada menyumbang kepada kesihatan tubuh badan, boleh juga mengelakkan belia-belia daripada terjebak dalam gejala-gejala sosial yang tidak sihat. Maka kita meminta Kementerian Belia dan Sukan untuk membantu membina gelanggang futsal di Kampung Gerigat, Empelam dan sebuah gelanggang di sepanjang Jalan Sungai Pasir, Selalang untuk kegunaan belia-belia dari rumah-rumah panjang dalam kawasan itu. Padang Sepak Takraw juga diperlukan di Kampung Nyabor.

Feri Untuk Menghubung Pekan Kabong Dengan Kampung Paloh

Menteri Muda, Jalan Pesisir, semasa lawatan beliau di Kabong beberapa bulan yang lalu telah menerima permintaan daripada rakyat Kabong agar diadakan perkhidmatan feri untuk menghubung Pekan Kabong dengan Kampung Paloh di muara Sungai Krian. Mereka mengharapkan impian mereka menjadi kenyataan dan ada perkembangan positif terhadap permintaan mereka.

Skim Pembesaran Kampung, Kampung Hulu Kabong

Apabila pengumuman bahawa kelulusan SPK Kampung Hulu telah diperoleh, rakyat Kabong

menerimanya dengan penuh keriangan kerana akhirnya mereka mendapat peluang untuk membina rumah di atas lot-lot yang bakal diagih-agihkan kepada mereka yang layak. Rakyat Pekan Kabong


54

yang layak berharap mereka akan dapat peluang untuk membina rumah di kawasan baharu yang lengkap dengan prasarana dan sekaligus dapat menjalan kehidupan dalam persekitaran yang lebih kondusif.

Dewan Masyarakat Kabong

Dewan Masyarakat yang sedia ada di Kabong adalah dalam keadaan yang usang dan daif. Rakyat di Kabong ingin mendapat dewan masyarakat yang baharu untuk menggantikan dewan yang sedia ada. Untuk membina dewan masyarakat yang baharu, peruntukan sebanyak RM2.5 juta diperlukan bagi menambah RM1 juta yang telah diluluskan oleh arwah Tok Nan pada tahun 2016. Rakyat di Kabong meminta jasa baik Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri agar memberi peruntukan khas RM2.5 juta untuk membina sebuah Dewan Masyarakat yang baharu. Kerajaan telah meluluskan pembinaan dewan masyarakat di Pusa dan Beladin, masing-masing dengan kos RM3.5 juta.

Gejala Sosial

Kebelakangan ini, insiden kecurian harta benda menjadi-jadi di Kampung Kabong. Daripada maklumat yang diterima, jenayah ini dilakukan oleh penagih-penagih dadah. Penyalahgunaan dadah juga semakin meningkat; lebih-lebih lagi dalam kalangan belia-belia. Diharapkan, agensi penguatkuasa seperti PDRM dan AADK dapat membanteras penyalahgunaan dadah di Kabong. Maka saya, menyokong cadangan Yang Berhormat bagi Daro agar AADK menubuhkan pejabat di tiap-tiap daerah. Masalah meminum arak juga dikenalpasti sebagai penyumbang kepada meningkatnya jenayah di Kampung Kabong. Kampung Kabong dihuni oleh orang-orang Melayu Islam. Meminum arak merupakan kesalahan di sisi agama Islam. Kita harap Jabatan Agama Islam dapat membantu dengan menangkap dan mendakwa mereka yang meminum arak. Pihak berkuasa tempatan yang bertanggungjawap hendaklah bertindak terhadap penjualan arak dan jika telah mengeluarkan lesen, hendaklah dibatalkan.

Masalah Kebersihan Sampah Sarap di Pekan Kabong

Saya begitu sedih kerana terpaksa mengaku bahawa Kampung Kabong sangat kotor di mana sampah sarap bertaburan merata-rata. Memang susah mendidik warga Kabong untuk tidak membuang sampah sewenang-wenangnya. Warga Kabong harus mengetahui bahawa hidup dikelilingi oleh sampah sarap akan mengundang banyak masalah. Lebih-lebih lagi wabak penyakit seperti denggi, taun dan lain-lain.

Saya meminta agar Majlis Daerah Saratok dapat membantu mencari jalan kaedah untuk

membersih Kampung Kabong.

Jalan Ke Ladang

YB Encik Mohd. Chee bin Kadir: Kawasan Kabong mempunyai ramai pekebun kecil yang mengusahakan penanaman kelapa sawit. Jalan-jalan menuju ke kebun-kebun mereka dibina oleh agensi-agensi kerajaan. Walaubagaimanapun kebelakangan ini, penyelenggaraan jalan-jalan ini rosak teruk dan sukar digunakan dan pekebun-pekebun tidak dapat mengeluarkan hasil untuk dijual. Sudahlah harga pasaran rendah, hasil tuaian pun tidak dapat dijual kerana jalan-jalan yang tidak dapat digunakan. Kita mohon agensi seperti DID, IADA dan Jabatan Pertanian membantu dengan membaiki dan menaik taraf jalan-jalan pekebun-pekebun kecil yang mengalami kerosakan agar keperitan hidup pekebun-pekebun kecil dapat diringankan.

Penubuhan Agensi-agensi Pembangunan Wilayah

Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri dalam ucapan beliau mengalu-alukan penubuhan

Agensi-agensi Pembangunan Wilayah seperti Upper Rejang Development Agency, Highland


55

Development Agency, Northern Region Development Agency and Integrated Regional Samarahan Development Agency yang boleh mempercepatkan pelaksanaan projek-projek pembangunan di wilayah tersebut.

Timbalan Speaker: Member of Kabong, you’re running out of time. Can you conclude? YB Encik Mohd. Chee bin Kadir: Ya, about to, Tuan Speaker. Seperti rakan-rakan yang mewakili kawasan pesisir, saya ingin sekali lagi merayu dan menyeru agar Kerajaan menubuhkan Coastal Development Agency. Ini selaras dengan harapan Tuan Yang Terutama agar pembangunan wilayah di negeri ini diperluaskan dengan menyediakan infrastruktur dan membangunkan potensi ekonomi secara agresif.

Pembinaan Electric Railway Dari Kuching ke Miri

Kereta api merupakan aspek pengangkutan awam yang efisien dan berdaya saing yang

digunapakai di negara-negara maju dan telah dilaksanakan sekian lama hingga ke hari ini. Di Malaysia pun pengangkutan keretapi digunakan di Malaya dan di Sabah.

Saya ingin mencadangkan agar kajian dibuat untuk membina electric railway dari Kuching ke

Miri. Kuasa elektrik untuk menggerakkan railway tersebut boleh disalurkan daripada sumber hidro Bakun, Batang Ai, Murum dan yang akan datang, Baleh. Kuasa elektrik yang banyak, mesra alam dan murah akan memberi daya saing yang hebat kepada pengusaha electric railway itu nanti.

Akhir sekali sebelum mengakhiri ucapan, saya mengucapkan selamat menunaikan ibadat

puasa di bulan Ramadan kepada rakan-rakan Muslim dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Kepada rakan Dayak, saya ucapkan Selamat Hari Gawai Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai. Dengan ini, saya menyokong usul penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak. Sekian, terima kasih.

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Lingga. YB Puan Hajah Simoi Binti Haji Peri: Assalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh dan Salam GPS. Terima kasih Tuan Speaker kerana memberi peluang kepada saya untuk turut serta dalam sesi perbahasan bagi menyokong usul penghargaan dan terima kasih atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak pada 29 April tempoh hari.

Tuan Speaker, pada Selasa lepas usul yang dibentangkan oleh Yang Berhormat bagi Samariang telah mendapat sokongan daripada semua Ahli Yang Berhormat GPS dan PH dalam Dewan yang mulia ini. Tahniah saya ucapkan. Ini adalah usaha GPS menterjemahkan hasrat rakyat di Sarawak yang mahukan status Sabah dan Sarawak dikembalikan kepada kedudukan semasa pembentukan Malaysia pada tahun 1963. Ini selaras dengan semangat dan hasrat perjanjian Malaysia 1963.

Rural Transformation Project (RTP)

Tuan Speaker, pengenalan Projek Transformasi Luar Bandar iaitu RTP, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) yang mula diperkenalkan pada tahun 2015 benar-benar memberi impak yang positif kepada rakyat di Sarawak dalam usaha kerajaan dalam meneruskan pembangunan di dalam dan luar bandar. Berbanding negeri-negeri lain di Malaysia polisi kerajaan Sarawak dalam memperkenalkan RTP ini adalah bersifat people centric. Implikasinya Tuan Speaker, kini kurangnya rungutan penduduk luar bandar berhubung penyediaan kemudahan asas dan awam apabila adanya peruntukan projek RTP yang diagihkan kepada setiap kawasan DUN di Sarawak. Semuanya ini menunjukkan bahawa kerajaan sentiasa komited dan dalam masa yang sama mempunyai perancangan yang strategik dan kerjasama yang mantap dalam menghasilkan keputusan yang baik.


56

Projek Penambahbaikan Rumah Miskin Sarawak

Tuan Speaker, sesungguhnya GPS sentiasa prihatin dan konsisten dalam memberi khidmat kepada rakyat melalui pelbagai program pembangunan terutama membantu golongan yang amat memerlukan. Bermula tahun lepas, Kerajaan Negeri telah memperkenalkan projek penambahbaikan rumah miskin Sarawak untuk golongan yang berpendapatan rendah. Projek ini telah disambut baik oleh rakyat khususnya yang di luar bandar. Rakyat seharusnya bersyukur serta terus memberi sokongan padu kepada Kerajaan GPS yang ada sekarang untuk memastikan kesinambungan pembangunan demi kemajuan dan kesejahteraan rakyat.

Baju petak dijahit sisi,

Jahit dengan benang biru, Maju Sarawak GPS bervisi,

Sakit senang rakyat di mercu.

65 Inisiatif Oleh Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak

Tuan Speaker, apabila bercakap mengenai pembangunan dalam semua bidang, saya ingin berkongsi dengan Dewan yang mulia ini mengenai beberapa buah negara seperti Norway sebagai salah sebuah negara paling miskin di Eropah suatu ketika dahulu, kini menjadi negara yang paling makmur di dunia. Ia mengutamakan pendidikan dan latihan bagi melahirkan insan-insan yang berdaya saing dan produktif. Begitu juga Korea Selatan dan Singapura, memilih national service ala tentera iaitu pertahanan dan keselamatan sebagai platform untuk melahirkan warga yang berdisiplin tinggi untuk mengemudi negara dalam semua aspek kehidupan. Kalaulah negara tersebut gah dengan pembangunannya dalam pelbagai bidang, apa kurangnya kita di Sarawak? Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri telah berjaya melaksanakan 65 inisiatif pembangunan semenjak beliau menerajui kepimpinan Negeri Sarawak sejak 13 Januari 2017.

Inisiatif ini merangkumi pelbagai sektor ekonomi untuk kepentingan rakyat termasuk

pendekatan hasil-hasil pendapatan Negeri, penyediaan kemudahan asas yang menyeluruh, penubuhan institusi-institusi yang strategik, pembangunan ekonomi digital dan modal insan. Perkara yang membanggakan kita Tuan Speaker, Bank Negara Malaysia meramalkan pertumbuhan ekonomi Malaysia dalam sekitar 4.6% – 4.7%. Namun, pertumbuhan ekonomi Sarawak akan melebihi pertumbuhan ekonomi negara iaitu sekitar 5%. Yang lebih ketara ialah pendekatan bijak daripada Kerajaan Sarawak dengan mengenakan cukai 5% ke atas minyak dan gas yang telah menjana pendapatan Sarawak sebanyak RM3 billion.

Bagi saya Tuan Speaker tidak mustahil satu hari kelak Negeri kita paling kaya di rantau ini.

Apatah lagi apabila hak-hak Sarawak di bawah Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 berjaya dikembalikan. Manfaatnya dapat dinikmati oleh rakyat Sarawak sendiri. Inilah aura kekuatan, kesungguhan serta keikhlasan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dan GPS dalam mengurus dan berkhidmat untuk rakyat dan merasai denyut nadi rakyat dalam usaha mencapai pertumbuhan yang bersifat inklusif, sustainable dan membina sebuah Negeri yang kompetitif, progresif, bersahsiah dan mantap dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat yang saling berpadu sejak sekian lama.

Tinggi-tinggi si matahari, Anak tempua terbang senja,

Visi yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri bestari, Sarawak maju rakyat sejahtera

Oleh yang demikian, janganlah ada pihak-pihak cuba menghasut membuat fitnah jadi batu api

dan membawa budaya politik yang tidak sihat di Negeri ini. Ayuh Bersama-sama GPS mengatur langkah dan strategi demi pembangunan rakyat Sarawak daripada kita mengkritik, memperlekehkan dan melalak ke sana ke sini tidak tentu pasal kononnya hero dalam memperjuangkan nasib rakyat tetapi hasilnya tidak ada. Bagi saya hanya GPS parti tempatan yang faham dan tahu masalah rakyat


57

di Negeri ini, malah sentiasa bekerja keras untuk memastikan dimensi pembangunan berjalan dengan lancar di Negeri ini.

Beli simen kilang Senari,

Hendak membuat rumah sendiri, Kepada Yang Amat Berhormat CM tabik diberi,

Siang malam memaju Negeri

Kepada rakyat Sarawak marilah kita bersama-sama mendukung kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri sebagai nakhoda dinamis, berpandangan jauh berwawasan tinggi dan mempunyai cita-cita besar untuk memastikan momentum pembangunan berterusan di negeri ini. Kita berdoa semoga Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri sentiasa diberi kekuatan, kesihatan dan kesejahteraan yang berpanjangan serta dipermudahkan segala urusan beliau.

Tuan Speaker, saya mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua

Menteri kerana telah meluluskan beberapa buah projek pembangunan di Maludam seperti gerai baharu, membina masjid baharu, bangunan baharu SK Maludam, membina baharu dewan masyarakat, menaik taraf padang bola sepak dengan membina grandstand, Projek Skim Pembesaran Kampung bagi mewujudkan kampung moden di Maludam dan membina baharu pejabat Daerah Maludam di mana semua projek ini Tuan Speaker telah, sedang dan akan dilaksanakan. Rakyat di Maludam amat menyambut baik usaha Kerajaan ini dan mengharapkan lebih banyak lagi prasarana disalurkan ke kawasan mereka.

ISU DI KAWASAN

Menaik taraf klinik dan balai polis Maludam

Tuan Speaker, selepas perubahan landskap politik 9 Mei 2018 yang lalu, telah banyak menyebabkan perkara yang perlu dilihat sebelum dilaksanakan supaya tidak berlaku pertindihan. Perkara melibatkan kesihatan dan keselamatan merupakan bidang kuasa kerajaan persekutuan yang seharusnya bertanggungjawab dalam melaksanakannya. Bagaimanapun, atas keperluan terdesak rakyat, saya memohon agar klinik dan balai polis di Maludam dinaik taraf kerana kedua-dua tempat ini Tuan Speaker amat daif dan tidak kondusif lagi untuk digunakan. Begitu juga penubuhan cawangan bank di Maludam amat diperlukan, ini adalah permintaan daripada rakyat di sana.

Projek naik taraf dan bina sistem perparitan dan pintu air di Maludam

Kita tahu Maludam ini terletak di kawasan pesisir laut dan sungai dan menyebabkan

penduduknya terdedah dengan risiko limpahan air sungai ketika musim hujan. Untuk itu, saya mohon kepada Kerajaan agar membina dan membaik pulih infrastruktur sistem saliran seperti longkang, parit, ban dan pintu air serta melebarkan dan mendalamkan sungai.

Sektor pertanian

Hasil pertemuan dan perbincangan dengan agensi-agensi yang berkaitan seperti Jabatan Pertanian dan Jabatan Tanah dan Survei telah dikenalpasti satu kawasan berkeluasan 464.5 hektar di Maludam untuk dicadangkan bagi pembangunan projek pertanian yang bersepadu seperti yang dilaksanakan di tempat-tempat lain. Cadangan perlaksanaan projek ini Tuan Speaker dijangka mampu mengubah landskap ekonomi penduduk kampung Maludam terutamanya dalam bidang pertanian seperti yang saya perkatakan tadi.

Waterfront Dan Service Center Di Lingga

Di Lingga, seperti yang dimaklumkan sebelum ini akan dibina Waterfront dan Service Center termasuk membina padang bola sepak yang sekian lama ditunggu oleh belia di Lingga.

Walau bagaimanapun setakat ini belum terdapat tanda-tanda untuk melaksanakan projek ini

walaupun telah diluluskan peruntukannya pada tahun lepas. Saya memohon agar Kerajaan dan agensi yang berkaitan mengambil tindakan segera agar projek ini menjadi kenyatan di Kawasan Lingga.

Program Usahawan Belia dan Pusat Latihan Saya memohon agar Kerajaan melaksanakan program usahawan belia di DUN Lingga.

Maksud saya disini ialah program ini menyasarkan golongan belia bumiputera yang berumur di antara 18 hingga 30 tahun yang mempunyai minat yang mendalam untuk melibatkan diri dalam bidang keusahawanan.

Khususnya belia yang mempunyai kemahiran asas daripada institusi latihan atau pusat

kemahiran tempatan. Di kawasan saya juga, masih kekurangan pusat latihan untuk belia. Untuk itu saya memohon agar Kerajaan mewujudkan kem belia dan Centex di DUN Lingga. Inilah yang disuarakan oleh belia di kawasan saya supaya mereka mempunyai kemudahan untuk dibangunkan seperti di tempat-tempat lain.

Sebelum ini saya pernah mengutarakan masalah yang sama tetapi sehingga kini belum dapat

perhatian daripada Kerajaan. Justeru saya mohon agar keperluan belia di Kawasan saya ini Tuan Speaker diberi perhatian dengan segera.

Masalah Hakisan

Sebelum ini, saya sering mengutarakan isu hakisan di Kampung Hulu, Sri Aman, Tuan Speaker. Isu ini amat kritikal dan mengundang bahaya kepada penduduk tetapi sehingga kini masih belum juga diberi perhatian. Oleh itu, saya memohon sekali lagi, agar Kerajaan mengambil tindakan yang proaktif untuk membina banteng di kawasan Kampung Hulu kawasan Lemanak ini untuk menghalang kemasukan air dan menghalang hakisan di kampung tersebut dan untuk menjaga keselamatan penduduk dan mengelak rumah-rumah mereka runtuh akibat tanah susur dan hakisan. Lingga juga menghadapi masalah yang sama yang mana kekurangan banteng menyebabkan rumah mereka dimasuki air. Begitu juga di Geran Sumbin, tidak ada tempat pengaliran air yang sistematik terutamanya pada musim tengkujuh. Majoriti kediaman kawasan mereka ini dimasuki air dan memusnahkan tanaman mereka. Saya memohon agar Kerajaan membuat kajian yang menyeluruh dan mencari jalan penyelesaian dengan membina sistem peparitan yang sempurna di kawasan terbabit.

Masalah Saluran Paip dan Bekalan Air Besih

Tuan Speaker, saya sering menerima rintihan dan rungutan daripada penduduk kawasan Sekaib, Geran Setumbin dan Tanjung Bijah berkenaan dengan saluran paip di Sekaib sering rosak dan pecah akibat air pasang besar dan hakisan di kawasan tersebut. Kita tidak menafikan terdapat usaha pihak JLAB untuk membaiki kerosakan tersebut, tetapi Tuan Speaker, ianya berulang, sentiasa berulang yang mengakibatkan bekalan air terputus sehingga tiga hari.

Masalah ketiadaan air yang kerap berlaku ini menimbulkan kemarahan penduduk setempat

dan wakil rakyat sering dipersalahkan. Sebagai langkah jangka masa pendek dan sementara menunggu projek menaik taraf saluran paip di Sekaib siap sepenuhnya maka di sini saya mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan agar mengalih atau menempatkan saluran paip yang sedia ada ataupun yang telah dibaiki itu ditempat yang selamat untuk mengelakkan kerosakkan berulang.


59

Maksud saya di sini, jangan diletak atau dipasang ditempat yang lama kerana ia berdepan dengan risiko tanah susur dan air pasang besar.

Bantuan Bina Baru Rumah Panjang

Tuan Speaker, di kawasan saya masih terdapat rumah-rumah panjang yang uzur dan tidak selamat didiami. Kebanyakan daripada mereka bercadang untuk membina rumah baru mereka. Oleh itu saya mohon agar Kementerian yang berkaitan memberi pertimbangan dalam usaha membantu mereka untuk membina baru rumah panjang di kawasan mereka.

Saya berharap agar permasalahan cadangan saya ini diterima dan diambil perhatian oleh

Kerajaan. Sebelum saya mengakhiri ucapan saya ini Tuan Speaker, saya mengambil kesempatan untuk mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadan dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak kepada semua rakan dan pegawai kerajaan dalam Dewan yang mulia ini khususnya kepada rakyat saya.

Diucapkan juga setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada Datuk Amar Speaker

dan Tuan Speaker dan semua yang terlibat secara lansung dan tidak langsung dalam memastikan kelancaran persidangan dewan yang gemilang pada kali ini. Semoga usaha itu diberkati oleh Allah SWT. Dengan ini saya menyokong usul penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak semasa pembukaan Dewan Persidangan pada penggal keempat Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak ke-18 tempoh hari. Sekian, terima kasih.

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Thank you Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker I rise to debate on the motion in appreciation of the speech delivered by His Excellency Tuan Yang Terutama in this august House on the 29th April 2019.

Tuan Speaker, after two days of debate on the motion of thanks, we can conclude the followings:

One, GPS lawmakers have lost it! They are trying to divert the failure of the GPS Government

by attacking the PH Government. They only talked about the PH policies and never dare to discuss the failure of the State Government. Tuan Speaker, this august House’s responsibility is to scrutinize the performance of the State Government and hold the State Government to account. Let the MPs of GPS deal with the Federal Government in the Parliament unless they feel that their GPS MPs are not good enough.

Two, they have nothing new apart from the following:

(a) PH Government bully Sarawak. They talked about the projects that have been cancelled by the PH Federal Government not knowing that a lot of these so called project promised by Najib were just a bluff as there were not in the budget of 2018 tabled by Najib. And many of this so called reappraisal of projects by the PH government were either because it was not transparent such as without open tender or even over-priced project.

(b) They blame the slow economic on the PH Government and forgot that PH just took over and are busy cleaning up the mess created by Barisan Nasional and are paying the debt incurred under Barisan Nasional such as having the Finance Minister put aside RM37 billion in the 2019 budget just to refund the GST and income tax refund owed to the people by their “Bossku” Najib Government. Sarawak economic is not an island economy but subject to the volatility of the global economy such as the oil prices, palm oil and other commodities’ price and our currency is tied to the performance of our debt equity


60

ratio and the reputation of the Federal Government and Malaysia has to suffer due to the kleptocracy regime of Najib.

(c) They even blame the dilapidated schools on PH Government while conveniently forgotten that these dilapidated schools existed due to decades of mismanagement of the Barisan Nasional and not because of the PH Government.

They shouted Sarawak First as if by shouting that slogan they are on the moral high ground and become the true defender of Sarawak rights ...(interruption)...

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan, are you taking a question from Ahli Yang Berhormat for Lambir? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: You give me injury time? Ya, why not? Go. YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan, just now you mentioned about the economic situation because of the kleptocracy by former Prime Minister Najib, but if you recalled back in 1998, our economic crisis. Is it not all because of the kleptocracy of the present Prime Minister? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Can I answer you now? YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Ya. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: In 1998, there was a world economic slowdown. A global economic slowdown and in Malaysia, we cannot escape from that. But there was no corruption in the scale of 1MDB where more than RM450 billion was stolen from the people of Malaysia. That was totally different from 1998. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Tuan Speaker, can I continue? Timbalan Speaker: Are you taking anymore question from Ahli Yang Berhormat for Lambir? YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: If we recalled back again during 1998, 1997. There are a few big cases like Pewaja, MAF, Forex? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Anymore? Okay, let me answer you. All these happened under Barisan Nasional and not PH. So don’t blame PH for what Barisan Nasional did. Come on lah my friend, be sensible. We can debate but it has to be sensible. Tuan Speaker, who was the Federal Government and the State Government in 1998? Barisan Nasional my friend. Isn’t it? There is no debate on that. Timbalan Speaker: Proceed. Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan. I have given you injury time, can you proceed with your speech? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Okay, thank you. Don’t make a shame of yourself lah. You talk about Barisan Nasional all the timelah, please.

Three, they shouted Sarawak First as if by shouting that slogan they are on the moral high ground and become the true defender of Sarawak rights but if they are for Sarawak First, why didn’t they accept the offer from Pakatan Harapan Sarawak in the run-up to the GE14 to accept the responsibility for the education and healthcare of Sarawak in return for the 20% oil royalty and 50% tax revenue generated in Sarawak. Tuan Speaker, they speak about devolution of power and what else is more important than education and healthcare to Sarawakian? They just want the money without responsibility and forgot that the day of the Barisan Nasional is over and there is no more free-spending days like before. Number four Tuan Speaker.


61

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan, there is a question from Ahli Yang Berhormat for Tupong. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Sure, I think they like it. YB Encik Fazzrudin Bin Haji Abdul Rahman: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Pelawan. Yang Berhormat Pelawan telah mengatakan sebelum pilihanraya telah dioffer daripada PH. Saya ingin mendapatkan penjelasan daripada Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Pelawan, adakah offer tersebut daripada PH Sarawak sahaja ataupun memang sudah mendapat kelulusan daripada PH Pusat ataupun hanya daripada PH Sarawak sahaja? Mohon penjelasan itu sahaja Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Pelawan. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Okay thank you, Ahli Yang Berhormat for the question. Actually you should pay attention in this Dewan. Ahli Yang Berhormat for Kota Sentosa yesterday answered already. Pakatan Harapan Sarawak with the consent of Pakatan Harapan Nasional gave the offer to our Chief Minister. It was refused by Sarawak, you should go and ask the Chief Minister. Thank you. Tuan Speaker, can I continue now. Pay more attentionlah, please, so that I don’t have to repeat what Ahli Yang Berhormat for Kota Sentoasa have answered before. They just want the money like what I said just now Tuan Speaker.

Four, while PBB Members were shouting bully and U-turn policies of Pakatan Harapan, they forgot that PH Government listens to the people and adjusted their policies that are not welcomed by the voters unlike their BN master, UMNO, who just bulldozed through no matter what. They also forgot that if indeed Sarawak has been bullied by our Federal Government it was with their consent such as the PDA 1974, some of them mentioned, the downgrade of our position as one of the thirteen states 1976, the Territorial Sea Act 2012 and the National Security Council Act. All these were done with the consent of GPS Sarawak.

Five, Tuan Speaker, the SUPP law makers are playing the game of deceit. Member for Batu

Kitang and Batu Piasau both talked about “Referendum” in the debate and I have few questions to ask them.

(a) Why did they bother to go against a motion on citizen Initiated Referendum Bill 2017 by

Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Lintang on 14th May 2017? Tuan Speaker, to refresh your memory, when the vote was taken on that day, the Distinguished Datuk Professor Dr. Sim, Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Kawa and Minister for Local Government and Housing ran away from this House and was nowhere inside this Dewan. What a show by SUPP. Now you talk about referendum. When there is a vote you roted against it.

(b) If SUPP really want a referendum, why didn’t their members in the State Cabinet initiate

a Ministerial Motion to do so this time?

Even if their Minister didn’t want to table a Ministerial motion, Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Kitang and Piasau can still table a private member motion, why didn’t they? Hypocrite Tuan Speaker! They thought Sarawakians are stupid and tried to paint that SUPP want to give people the referendum.

YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Tuan Speaker, actually they are playing a very dangerous game. Political Secretary of YAB Chief Minister, from SUPP they went to the rally of Sarawak Big 6 movement, they went to S4S rally and asking Sarawak to withdraw from Malaysia and they actually bring this dispute to YAB Chief Minister in the action. I have the newspaper cutting, I can show you

…. (interruption) Tuan Speaker: You can show me only the newspaper report ya?


62

YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: ….(Continue)Ya, you were there and the guest speech and all this thing.

Sibu Development

Tuan Speaker, my comrade and colleague, Honourable Member for Bukit Assek rightfully put

it in her debate that we need a master development blueprint for Sibu. Tuan Speaker, Sibu has been better days during the boom days of the timber industry and we have one of the highest number of student with higher education among all the towns in Malaysia.

But then, it was ignored over the past decades and now it really becomes a town that has been

neglected by the Government. The infrastructures of Sibu is in such a sorry state that I am lost for words to describe them.

To date there is no flyover in Sibu, the drains in the centre of the town are the same as 40

years ago, the roads are bumpy and those travelling in the cars are like riding the waves on the river. Tuan Speaker, I have to highlight the needs for upgrading Jalan Ulu Sg. Merah, Jalan Oya,

Jalan Igan on several occasions in this House. I urge the State government to immediately set up a team comprising the officials of Ministry of Transportation, the Local Councils and the District Office to look into the upgrading of these roads immediately.

Tuan Speaker, the development in Sibu was brought about the private sectors instead of the

public sector. Jalan Ulu Sg. Merah for example has been the construction of more than 1,000 houses and has two schools along it with thousands of student and yet it still remainS the same single lane road that was constructed more than 20 years ago. Can you imagine the jam along the road during the morning and evening rush hours, if a car broke down then it will create of kilometres of traffic jam?

I have in 2015 submitted a RM 70 million Sibu outer-link proposal to our late YAB Chief Minister

Tok Nan and I have follow up on the said proposal tirelessly because I know Sibu deserves better and the Government has the responsibility to bring about infrastructure developments. “For more than 15 years, there has been no new road been constructed in Sibu. There are massive traffic jams during rush hour – morning, afternoon and evening. The proposal was to build three new roads and upgrade an existing road in Sibu for about RM70 million.

One of them is at the Jalan Wong King Huo roundabout, connecting to JPJ, which is about

4.5km. There will be a by-pass in the middle. We estimate it cost about RM30 million. Another one is connecting a residential area to another by constructing a bridge across Sungai Merah. That would cost around RM10 million.

Another one is Teku Road to Sibu Golf Club area. A lot of those in Kampung Dato Kampung

Nangka will be relocated to this golf club area, so that road would be around 7km, costing around RM20 million. One of the oldest roads in Sibu – Jalan Oya – needed upgrading, too. The stretch from SMK St. Elizabeth to the traffic junction that would cost about RM10 million.

Tuan Speaker, with a budget of RM11.9 billion in 2019, there is no reason why the YAB Chief

Minister cannot allocate RM70 million to Sibu.

State government vs Federal government

Tuan Speaker, the GPS State government must state its position on the directive issued by our State Secretary to Residents to direct all Ketua Kaum dan Ketua Masyarakat not to attend any function… (Interruption)


63

Tuan Speaker: Honorable Member for Pelawan, Honourable Member for Nangka want to ask a question.

YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Thank you Honourable Member for Pelawan. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee):You mentioned about the road from Kemuyang to pass the Golf Course just now, is it YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Teku Golf site. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee):Ya, no the golf course at Kampung Datuk to move most of them to Teku, not the Teku, it is actually the Kemuyang road. Just for your information, there has been a Committee formed to look into that road but I just want to ask you on your thoughts here. You have mentioned a lot about Sibu, you are also from Sibu, I’m also from Sibu. The fact that we have two Member of Parliaments from Sibu which is now in the government, am I right? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Yes. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): They are in the Government. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Correct. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Previously they are in the Opposition. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Okay, and they are Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri in government. In fact, we are very lucky you know? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): The MPs are Government and the ADUNs are also Government. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Yes. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Some of the Opposittion, you think that we can work together, the MPS. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya.


64

Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Can you ask the funds from the Federal Government? YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Yes. Menteri Muda Pendidikan, Sains dan Penyelidikan Teknologi dan Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Kesihatan Awam (YB Dr Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee): Rather than we depend so much on the State government. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Ya, for the information of Honourable Member for Nangka, we have to work together, we have to work together to bring development to Sibu. Put politics aside, that I have to agree and we will try our best to bring funds from the Federal government as well. Thank you.

State government vs Federal government

YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Tuan Speaker, as I mentioned just now, the State Secretary issued directive to all the Residents to direct all Ketua Kaum dan Ketua Masyarakat not to attend any function or activities not organized by the GPS Government. That directive is in fact to forbid all the Ketua Kaum and Ketua Masyarakat not to attend the Federal Government’s functions or events.

On the other hand, the GPS wants to use the Federal Agencies for their political purposes by

demanding access to schools, hospitals, police department and even demand RTM to carry their news.

Tuan Speaker, what GPS did was in fact splitting the people and communities for their selfish

political agendas. How can Ketua Kaum and Ketua Masyarakat take side in politics when they are suppose to serve the people and the community they represent without fear of favour?

Tuan Speaker, I urge the YAB Chief Minister to stop taking a confrontational stand against the

Federal Government as both have a role to play to bring development to Sarawak, we cannot have a State and Federal Government at their loggerhead if we want to bring about developments and to restore our Sarawak rights under MA63. Whether we like it or not, the Federal government always have an upper hand because of the concentration of power and resources in their hand because of the Federation we are in.

Sarawak Resources

Tuan Speaker, many have labelled Sarawak State for the political elite in the cronies and they

accused the State Government of formulating policies to enrich their cronies and businessman friendly to GPS. How true was the above accusation? In my observations, I believe the above description is fair comment. While GPS complained that Sarawak has been exploited by the Federal Government in term of oil and gas, how about the timber industry? How about the land, both NCR and State land? They are all under State Government.

We have seen the Big six dominated the land ownership with tens of thousands of hectares

and natural resources such as timber were all controlled by them. Over the past 40 years, the elites in Sarawak have total control over the distribution of the wealth of the State while the average Sarawakian cannot even own a house with the 4 points of land.

We have seen NCR and State land being given to the oil palm big corporation instead of small

farmers and while the giant corporations enjoy the windfall we were left with an environment destroyed by them. The latest incident near Mulu Cave is another example of the exploitation of the people by our Sarawak elites backed by the GPS.


65

Tuan Speaker, it’s worried me when the Assistant Minister for Natural Resources told this House yesterday, in his reply to Honourable Member for Batu Lintang that we have four million hectares (32% of our land mass) for agriculture development and three million hectares of the four million has been assigned to the planting of oil palm. Tuan Speaker, we all know oil palm plantation is bad for our environment and while we want to develop our land for revenues we must be aware that the oil palm plantations are concentrated in the hands of a few elite groups which do not employ local people and over dependency on this sector is not wise and benefit only a small percentage of the population. Enough is enough for the oil palm plantations in Sarawak. If there was mismanagement in Sarawak, we would not be in such a State of backwardness where many are still without electricity and piped water supply.

GPS Must Be Fair To All Sarawakian

Tuan Speaker, GPS must be fair to all Sarawakian. Tuan Speaker, the GPS government is a

government of hypocrite who contradict themselves. The CM has promised to be a CM for all Sarawakian when he took over the Chief Ministership but he has failed his promises, our member from Pending rightly put it that the CM has promised that the PH member of this House will be given grants last year and it was reported in all the news. But until today, Iban jako, “satu sen pan nadai” for the PH member of this House.

The GPS member of this House was given two million in MRP, five million in RTP and one

million in House improvement grants by the State government and yet PH member was not given a single cent. Where is fairness and justice?

Tuan Speaker, when the GPS want the PH to support their Motion, then they say, “we are all

Sarawakians…” but when they don’t need our support, then they treated us like enemies and forgot that we were here because the people in our constituencies voted us to be here.

Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan, can you wind up. I’ve given you four extra minutes now. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Okay. To punish PH members of this House is akin to punishing the voters in our kawasan, Tuan Speaker. Can the YAB Chief Minister tell us whether all of these voters are Sarawakian or not? It is another example of hot air by our GPS government.

Tuan Speaker, the State Government is mere trustee of the resources and coffer of the State. They don’t own them. The wealth, resources, belong to all Sarawakians and the people of our kawasan must be given the fair and equitable resources and their elected representative has all the right to receive funding from the State Government.

Tuan Speaker, the GPS government cries like a baby saying that the Federal Government has not been fair to them and brought up schools, healthcare, grants and development funding, all these, but why don’t they ask themselves whether they have been fair to all Sarawakians? How about showing the Federal government what fair play is all about? With the ongoing negotiation on MA63, more power will be devolved to Sarawak such as tax revenues and devolution of power..(interruption) Tuan Speaker: Okay, Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelawan, you are out of even injury time. YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Okay. How could GPS be trusted to safeguard Sarawak interests if they can’t treat all Sarawakian as Sarawakian? With that, thank you Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker: Honourable Member for Balingian.


66

YB Encik Abdul Yakub Haji Arbi: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, salam sejahtera dan salam Ibu Pertiwiku. Utamakan Sarawak.

Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker kerana memberi peluang kepada saya untuk turut serta membahaskan usul ucapan penghargaan Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Pehin Sri Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak atas Ucapan Pembukaan Persidangan Pertama Penggal Keempat Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak ke-18 pada 29 April lalu.

Tuan Speaker, saya menyambut baik seruan Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Pehin Sri Yang di-Pertua Negeri bagi kita untuk meneruskan agenda pembangunan demi untuk kepentingan rakyat negeri Sarawak. Ini adalah kerana untung nasib rakyat kita bergantung di tangan kita sebagai pemimpin yang telah diamanahkan, terutama sekali kita yang berada dalam kerajaan negeri sekarang. Perjuangan kita untuk membela nasib rakyat telah kita buktikan melalui kematangan kita berpolitik yang telah kita terjemahkan dalam mentadbir urus negeri ini.

Antara lain, manifestasi perjuangan telah ditunjukkan melalui Usul Pindaan Perlembagaan Malaysia yang mana ianya telah disokong sebulat suara oleh semua ahli Dewan yang mulia ini pada 30 April yang baru lalu. Tahniah Yang Berhormat Semariang yang telah Berjaya mengusulkan enam pindaan yang lebih komprehensif demi untuk mengembalikan status Sarawak sebagai rakan setara dapat dikembalikan dan seterusnya menyediakan Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk merujuk kepada Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA63), bukannya Persetujuan Persekutuan Malaya 1957.

Tuan Speaker, pada kesempatan ini juga saya ingin merakamkan ucapan tahniah kepada

kesemua 19 orang Ahli Parlimen GPS yang mengambil pendirian berkecuali semasa pembentangan RUU di Parlimen pada 9 April yang lepas. Seperti yang kita semua mahukan, RUU tersebut tidak memberi apa-apa makna kalau ianya tidak mengandungi “Pursuant to MA63”. Kalaulah RUU tersebut dikira sebagai langkah permulaan bagi kita untuk bergerak terus dalam menuntut hak-hak Sarawak seperti yang dilaung-laungkan oleh pihak di sebelah sana, saya amat khuatir ianya tidak akan berlaku sedemikian sebab Kerajaan Persekutuan PH yang ada sekarang bukan hanya pakar dalam “u-turn”, malahan pakar dalam membuat “roundabout”. Menyetujui RUU tanpa memasukkan “Pursuant to MA63” bermaksud seperti menandatangani cek kosong. Adakah pihak sebelah sana mahu menandatangani cek kosong yang tidak menyatakan apa-apa nilai. Mereka juga sanggup menghasut rakyat Sarawak Ibu Pertiwiku supaya membenci Kerajaan yang memerintah ketika ini.

Sebilangan daripada Ahli Yang Berhormat sebelah sana juga sentiasa menghubungkan

ataupun aligned Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat dari GPS dengan UMNO dan PAS, seperti tuduhan dari Pujut, ini adalah tidak benar sebab kita adalah Parti Sarawak yang mengutamakan Sarawak. Yang tepat dan benar adalah pihak di sebelah sana lah yang bertuankan “Big Boss” mereka dari Malaya. Mereka hanya jadi tukang angguk demi survival politik mereka dan juga sudah biasa menegak benang yang basah.

Tuan Speaker, setinggi-tinggi tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Ahli Yang Berhormat Bukit Assek

dan Ahli Yang Berhormat Batu Lintang yang telah memberi kenyataan yang cukup ikhlas dalam persidangan Dewan yang mulia ini pada 30 April lepas yang menyatakan dengan jelas untuk memberi masa kepada pihak mereka bagi memperbetulkan kesilapan yang telah mereka lakukan di Parlimen dalam menyokong RUU. Namun pemikiran seperti ini tidak ada pada yang lain-lain malahan terus menuduh bahawa GPS bersekongkol dengan Barisan Nasional yang banyak menghakis hak-hak Sarawak. Apa yang berlaku sememangnya sudah berlalu, yang penting marilah kita sama-sama bergerak ke hadapan sebagai pemimpin yang ada pada hari ini berusaha dan berjuang demi kemajuan, kemakmuran dan pembangunan Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, dengan kesempatan ini juga saya ingin merakamkan ucapan tahniah kepada

Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Abang Openg, Ketua Menteri Sarawak berserta dengan semua Ahli Kabinet dan juga semua Ahli Yang Berhormat yang


67

telah memperjuangkan MA63 demi untuk memastikan kemajuan dan pembangunan Sarawak ke puncak kecemerlangan seperti yang diidamkan oleh kita semua, termasuk orang sebelah. Peringatan untuk pihak sebelah sana, janganlah benci sangat kepada Kerajaan Negeri dan sanggup memporakporandakan rakyat dengan hasutan dan fitnah.

Tuan Speaker, izinkan saya terus menyentuh isu dan permasalahan dan pembangunan di

kawasan saya selari dengan amanat Tuan Yang Terutama yang mahukan pembangunan luar bandar diutamakan. Saya berharap akan mendapat perhatian dan pertimbangan yang sewajarnya daripada agensi-agensi yang berkaitan.

Skim Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar

Mohon Kerajaan Sarawak melalui Skim Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar untuk mempercepatkan

bekalan elektrik keempat buah Rumah Panjang di kawasan Bayan Ulu/Ulu Bandengan dan lima buah Rumah Panjang di kawasan Sungai Liuk yang belum mendapat bekalan sehingga sekarang.

Menara Telekomunikasi

Mohon Kerajaan menambah menara telekomunikasi di kawasan Setejok, Setuan Kecil, Setuan Besar, Kuala Balingian, Daerah Kecil Balingian, Sungai Liuk, Sungai Maben, Bayan Tasik, Bayan Ulu/Badengan Ulu dan Temesu memandangkan kawasan tersebut ada masalah isyarat telekomunikasi. Ini adalah penting sekali selaras dengan hasrat Kerajaan menggalakkan penglibatan rakyat dalam ekonomi digital.

Jambatan Mukah No. Dua dan Tellian Bypass

Pada 24 September 2018, YB Menteri Muda Jalan Pesisir telahpun membuat lawatan ke tapak yang dicadangkan untuk pembinaan Jambatan Mukah No. Dua dan Jalanraya Tellian Bypass di samping mendengar taklimat daripada JKR Mukah. Saya amat berharap agar cadangan yang telah diajukan kepada Kementerian dapat disegerakan pelaksanaannya. Ini adalah demi kemudahan dan keselesaan rakyat kita sekiranya apa-apa berlaku kepada Jambatan Kuning yang ada sekarang, kita panggil Jambatan Kuning yang satu-satunya penghubung Bandar Mukah dan Balingian dan juga tempat-tempat lain. Bak kata pepatah, malang tidak berbau.

Bekalan Air Bersih

Bekalan air bersih merupakan salah satu keperluan asas kepada rakyat. Ianya sering menjadi

rungutan rakyat disebabkan bekalan air bermasalah di kawasan tertentu dalam Kawasan N.58 Balingian. Sehubungan dengan itu, mohon Kerajaan Sarawak mempercepatkan usaha untuk menaiktaraf pembekalan air bersih di kawasan Daerah Kecil Balingian, Kuala Balingian, Setuan Besar, Setuan Kecil, Setejok, Sungai Maben, Bayan Tasik, Bayan Ulu, Bukit Ambun, Sungai Liuk dan Temesu.

Stadium Mini Balingian

Tuan Speaker, belia dan sukan berpisah tiada. Malah ianya akan menghindar belia daripada anasir negatif. Menyediakan tempat untuk para belia dan rakyat setempat beriadah dan bersukan amatlah penting. Di samping itu, menjadi keperluan sekolah rendah berhampiran serta untuk penganjuran aktiviti masyarakat berskala besar di Balingian. Dengan itu, kami memohon Kerajaan untuk menaiktarafkan Stadium Mini Balingian yang lengkap dengan grandstand, track, padang yang dilengkapi dengan sub soil drain dan juga lampu stadium.

Lot-Lot di Skim Pembesaran Kampung

Memohon Kementerian yang berkaitan mempercepatkan proses pengagihan 116 lot dalam Fasa 1 dan Fasa 2 di Skim Pembesaran Kampung Baru Balingian, 173 lot di Skim Pembesaran Kampung Baru Kuala Balingian dan Skim Pembesaran Kampung Jembungan. Pengagihan yang cepat dan segera akan memberi peluang kepada penduduk yang memerlukan lot untuk membina rumah kediaman mereka.

Skim Pembesaran Kampung Balingian telahpun diserahkan kepada Perbadanan

Pembangunan Perumahan iaitu HDC)dan cabutan undi untuk Program Rumah Mesra Rakyat (RMR) sudahpun dibuat pada 15 Ogos 2017. Namun, sampai hari ini tidak ada khabar berita daripada pihak yang berkenaan. Perkara ini menyebabkan penduduk yang terlibat tertanya-tanya ke mana perginya permohonan dan cabutan undi yang telah dibuat sebelum ini. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya sekali lagi memohon juga Skim Permata dilaksanakan di SPK Balingian ini.

Naik taraf Jalan Kampung, Parit dan Jambatan Kayu

Jalan kampung yang uzur dan juga sistem perparitan yang kurang efektif memerlukan

baikpulih dengan kadar yang segera di Kawasan Kampung Tutus Ulu, Mukah, Kampung Kuala Balingian, Skim Pembesaran Kampung Sungai Alo, Kampung Masjid, Kampung Lintang, Kampung Baru dan Kampung Suyong, Balingian.

Ini termasuk sebuah jambatan kayu di Kampung Suyong yang hampir roboh perlu digantikan

dengan sebuah jambatan konkrit. Mohon pihak yang berwajib mengambil tindakan segera.

Benteng Hakisan di Kampung Litong dan Pasar Balingian

Saya ingin mencadangkan kepada Kementerian yang berkenaan agar dibina benteng hakisan sungai di Kampung Litong, Mukah dan menyambung benteng hakisan di Pasar Balingian memandangkan kedua-dua kawasan tersebut tadi berhadapan dengan masalah hakisan yang begitu serius.

SMK Balingian

Tuan Speaker, pembinaan SMK Balingian ataupun Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Balingian merupakan satu projek yang ditunggu-tunggu oleh rakyat di Kawasan N.58 Balingian. Pembinaan SMK Balingian di bawah perlaksanaan Rancangan Malaysia Kesebelas (RMK11) (sambungan RMK10 ketika diluluskan) diharap dapat disegerakan bagi memastikan SMK Balingian dapat memberi manfaat kepada penduduk di Balingian nanti.

Sehingga kini, masih belum ada sekolah menengah didirikan di Balingian dan murid sekolah rendah melanjutkan pelajaran peringkat menengah di Mukah iaitu hampir dua jam perjalanan darat, jika diambil kira penduduk di kawasan Kuala Balingian dan Pekan Balingian.

Diharapkan agensi pelaksana dan Kementerian yang bertanggungjawab dapat memandang

serius terhadap prasarana pendidikan untuk rakyat luar bandar, khususnya di kawasan N.58 Balingian.

Sekolah Daif

Terdapat sekolah berisiko bencana dan daif di kawasan N.58 Balingian. Perkara ini amat

serius, mungkin dapat mengundang kepada isu politik di kawasan saya. Oleh itu, kita memohon Kerajaan untuk menempatkan semula SK Kenyana dan SK Jebungan ke lokasi yang baharu.

Rumah Rehat Kerajaan, Balingian

Rumah Rehat Kerajaan, Balingian telahpun terbakar pada 6 Mac 2012 dan sekarang tapak tersebut menampakkan imej yang buruk dan memohon agar Kerajaan membina sebuah Rumah Rehat yang baharu. Dan terbinanya Rumah Rehat Kerajaan yang baharu, maka mudahlah urusan penginapan mana-mana pegawai dari Agensi Kerajaan ataupun luar membuat lawatan ke Balingian sebab Balingian tiada hotel.

Anjung Selera Kuala Balingian dan Balingian

Terima kasih kepada Kerajaan yang telah membina jalan raya pesisir Bintulu-Mukah.

Meningkatkan kenderaan melalui jalan ini dapat menjanakan ekonomi penduduk setempat khasnya di Kuala Balingian dan juga Balingian. Dengan ini, saya mohon agar dibina Anjung Selera di kedua-dua tempat tersebut.

Wujudnya Anjung Selera ini nanti juga dapat mengatasi masalah penjaja-penjaja yang

membina gerai di tepi jalan yang mana ianya membahayakan kesihatan.

Akhir kata pada kesempatan ini juga, saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa pada bulan Ramadhan yang akan menjelang tiba dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua rakan-rakan Muslim dan kepada rakan-rakan dari kaum Dayak, saya ucapkan Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak 2019.

Kepada Tuan Speaker, saya ucapkan tahniah dan terima kasih atas kecemerlangan

mengendalikan persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri ini. Maka dengan ini, saya menyokong usul atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak. Sekian, terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Honourable Member for Murum. YB Encik Chukpai Ugon: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Salam sejahtera dan salam ibu pertiwiku.

Bersyukur kita ke hadrat Tuhan kerana limpah kasih berkat anugerahNya sekali lagi saya berpeluang untuk turut serta dalam perbahasan usul penghargaan atas ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak sempena Upacara Pembukaan Persidangan Pertama bagi Penggal Keempat, Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak yang Kelapan Belas di Dewan yang mulia ini pada hari Isnin, 29 April 2019 yang lepas.

Tuan Speaker, menjunjung kasih ke atas ucapan pembukaan Tuan Yang Terutama kerana

telah menyentuh pelbagai aspek yang amat bermakna dan komprehensif untuk dijadikan iktibar dan panduan kepada kita semua sebagai Wakil Rakyat menabur khidmat dan bakti kepada rakyat.

Dalam ucapan Tuan Yang Terutama telah diberikan penekanan akan kepentingan menjaga

keharmonian dan perpaduan kaum, pembangunan ekonomi, infrastruktur, modal insan, pembasmian kemisikinan, kesejahteraan bandar, isu-isu keselamatan, alam sekitar, aspek integriti serta kualiti sistem penyampaian perkhidmatan awam Kerajaan. Ini yang menjadi asas dan tunjang untuk kestabilan serta keamanan Negeri Sarawak bagi menjadikan Sarawak mencapai negeri maju dan berpendapatan tinggi menjelang negeri maju tahun 2030.

Utamakan Sarawak

Tuan Speaker, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) dengan slogan Utamakan Sarawak amatlah

bertepatan untuk kita perjuangkan dan pelihara hak serta kepentingan Negeri demi memastikan kelangsungan pembangunan untuk kesejahteraan rakyat di Negeri Sarawak.


70

Justeru, bagi memastikan semua rakyat di Negeri ini dapat menikmati manfaat pembangunan yang sedang dan akan dilaksanakan, Kerajaan Sarawak sentiasa mengutamakan rakyat berpaksikan kepada polisi yang lebih inclusive(inklusif). Misalnya segala dasar dan perancangan pembangunan yang diperkenalkan adalah sesuai dan menepati keperluan rakyat atau people centric.

Oleh itu, adalah menjadi keutamaan Kerajaan GPS untuk memulihkan status Sarawak sebagai

equal partner, mengembalikan hak-hak Sarawak yang telah terhakis, memelihara kuasa legislative (legislative)dan executive(eksekutif) Sarawak, hak istimewa Sarawak, sempadan, tanah, sumber asli, autonomi imigresen dan autonomi kewangan Sarawak seperti yang termaktub dalam Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA 63).

Sewajarnya seluruh rakyat Sarawak bersatu padu tanpa mengira fahaman politik, bangsa dan

agama untuk bersama-sama memperjuangkan dan mempertahankan hak Sarawak serta terus menyokong usaha murni Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dengan semangat Utamakan Sarawak demi Ibu Pertiwi yang tercinta ini.

Tuan Speaker, dalam kesempatan ini juga, saya ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi

penghargaan dan syabas kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, Ketua Menteri Sarawak kerana telah berjaya melaksanakan usaha dan inisiatif yang merangkumi pelbagai sektor ekonomi untuk faedah rakyat semenjak menerajui kepimpinan Negeri Sarawak pada 13 Januari 2017.

Isu-isu di DUN Murum

Tuan Speaker, dengan kesempatan ini juga izinkan saya untuk mengemukakan beberapa isu

yang memerlukan perhatian Dewan yang mulia ini, yang melibatkan kawasan saya di N.66 Murum.

Keperluan Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat di BRS Sg. Asap

Tuan Speaker, baru-baru ini sekali lagi kita dikejutkan dengan satu tragedi kebakaran yang melibatkan 44 pintu rumah panjang dan sebuah gereja di Uma Bawang, BRS Sg. Asap telah musnah dijilat api. Amat menyedihkan apabila tragedi ini mengakibatkan 96 keluarga dan 499 orang mangsa yang tinggal sehelai sepinggang.

Untuk makluman Dewan yang mulia ini, tragedi kebakaran di Uma Bawang ini merupakan tragedi yang ke-11 berlaku di sekitar BRS Sg. Asap yang meranapkan 259 pintu rumah panjang.

Lantaran itu, saya merayu kepada Kerajaan agar sebuah balai bomba dan penyelamat dibina

di BRS Sg. Asap dengan kadar segera. Ini kerana kita tidak lagi mampu melihat tragedi kebakaran sebegini berlaku menyebabkan kehilangan harta benda yang tidak ternilai harganya.

Tuan Speaker, amat menyeksakan apabila balai bomba yang terdekat dengan BRS Sg. Asap

iaitu kira-kira 200 km iaitu Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Bintulu. Perjalanan jaringan bantuan dari balai bomba berkenaan memakan masa selama tiga jam untuk sampai ke BRS Sg. Asap.

Disebabkan keadaan inilah saya rasakan bahawa keperluan ini amat mendesak. Saya

percaya, sekiranya balai bomba ini dibina di BRS Sg. Asap, ia akan memberi perkhidmatan kepada lebih kurang 20 ribu orang dan lebih kurang 50 buah rumah panjang di sekitar kawasan ini termasuklah kawasan Tubau.

Tuan Speaker, sehubungan dengan itu, bagi pihak mangsa tragedi kebakaran baru-baru ini,

saya mewakili suara mereka mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih terutamanya kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri keranatelah mengumumkan kelulusan bantuan sebanyak RM70 ribu, bagi


71

setiap pintu bagi membina semula rumah mereka dan sekaligus bantuan ini pasti meringankan beban mereka.

Untuk makluman Dewan yang mulia ini, kita amat bersimpati bahawa daripada 259 pintu

rumah panjang yang telah terbakar di sekitar BRS Sg. Asap, terdapat 116 pintu yang belum lagi mampu membina semula rumah-rumah mereka termasuklah 44 pintu di Uma Bawang yang terbakar baru-baru ini. Kita berharap bantuan ini dapat dilaksanakan dengan segera.

Dalam pada itu, dalam kesempatan ini juga diucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada semua

agensi Kerajaan, ahli-ahli politik, ahli-ahli sukarelawan, persatuan-persatuan, NGO-NGO dan semua rakyat Sarawak, yang sangat prihatin dan tampil memberi sokongan, sumbangan dan bantuan kepada mangsa, Kami tidak dapat membalas budi dan jasa baik kamu semua. Kami hanya mampu berdoa semoga Tuhan akan terus memberkati kalian semua dengan berkelimpahan.

Isu-Isu Skim Penempatan Semula Bakun dan Murum

Tuan Speaker, seperti yang pernah saya utarakan pada persidangan yang lalu, sekali lagi

saya ingin menarik perhatian Dewan yang mulia ini agar Kerajaan menyelesai isu-isu yang kini kritikal di Skim Penempatan Semula Bakun dan Murum. Antaranya adalah:

(a) Pengeluaran Surat Hakmilik Tanah dan lot rumah; (b) Pembayaran balik Premium Tanah dan rumah; (c) Pemberian tanah gantian untuk lot pertanian yang tidak sesuai; (d) Peruntukan tanah tambahan yang dijanjikan; (e) Permohonan lot kediaman dan lot pertanian bagi Keluarga Baru (Extended Family); (f) Pengukuran Tanah Temuda, NCR dan NTD bagi tanah-tanah yang tidak tenggelam di

Tasik Bakun; (g) Pembayaran pampasan kepada tuntutan tanah dan perkuburan yang belum

diselesaikan; (h) Baikpulih rumah kediaman di BRS Sg. Asap yang kian uzur; dan (i) Menyegerakan pelaksanaan Tanaman Sara Hidup bagi penduduk di Skim Penempatan

Semula Metalun dan Tegulang.

Infrastruktur / Jalan Kampung

Tuan Speaker, pada persidangan yang lepas, saya telah mengutarakan beberapa jalan yang sangat kritikal untuk dibina di Kawasan N.66 Murum.

Justeru, saya mohon pencerahan daripada pihak Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) Sarawak

berhubung dengan status permohonan saya bagi jalan-jalan ini antaranya adalah:

(a) Pembinaan baru jalan alternatif ke SK Kuala Kebulu; (b) Menaiktaraf Jalan Bekas Balak ke Ulu Jelalong, Tubau; (c) Menaiktaraf Jalan ke Rh. Mering Madang / Rh. Wan Usin / Rh. Lasah Tuba / Rh. Pesu /

Rh. Resah / Rh. Ramli, Tubau; (d) Menaiktaraf jalan ke Rh. Ding / Rh. Ugak, Tubau; (e) Menaiktaraf jalan ke Long Bala; dan (a) Menaiktaraf jalan ke Long Koyan.

Bekalan Air Bersih Terawat dan Bekalan Elektrik

Tuan Speaker, saya telah mengemukakan masalah bekalan air bersih terawat dan bekalan

elektrik hampir setiap kali kita bersidang di Dewan yang mulia ini khususnya bagi rumah-rumah panjang di kawasan Jelalong, Tubau, Long Bala, Long Koyan, Long Urun dan Sg. Linau.


72

Saya memohon agar Kementerian yang bertanggungjawab dapat memberi pencerahan berhubung dengan inisiatif yang telah diambil dan status pelaksanaannya bagi menyelesaikan masalah yang amat penting ini di DUN Murum.

Menara dan Struktur Sistem Pemancar Telekomunikasi

Tuan Speaker, terdapat banyak kawasan yang belum menikmati kemudahan di Kawasan N.66

Murum. Oleh itu, saya mohon agar lebih banyak kemudahan ini dibina di kawasan-kawasan pedalaman seperti di Tubau, Jelalong dan Sungai Linau.

Sekolah-sekolah daif

Tuan Speaker, seperti kawasan pedalaman lain di Sarawak, keadaan sekolah-sekolah di

kawasan DUN Murum juga sangat daif. Antaranya SK Lusong Laku, SK Long Urun, SK Kuala Kebulu, SK Bukit Balai, SMK Bakun, SK Batu Keling, SK Long Gang, SK Tegulang dan SK Metalun. Sekolah-sekolah ini dalam keadaan serba kekurangan dari segi kemudahan.

Oleh itu, besarlah harapan saya agar sekolah-sekolah ini diberi perhatian supaya anak-anak

dari kawasan pedalaman dapat menimba ilmu dalam suasana yang lebih kondusif, sempurna dan selesa.

Kemudahan Kesihatan

Tuan Speaker, saya ingin mencadangkan agar Klinik Kesihatan di BRS Sg. Asap dinaik taraf ke status hospital bagi menampung keperluan dan penambahan jumlah penduduk. Saya juga memohon agar klinik kesihatan yang baru dibina di Skim Penempatan Semula Metalun, Tegulang, Long Urun, Ulu Sg. Linau dan dan juga di Ulu Jelalong.

Memperkasakan Sektor Pertanian

Tuan Speaker, sektor pertanian tidak dapat dipisahkan daripada kehidupan rakyat di kawasan

pedalaman. Oleh itu, saya ingin menyarankan agar pihak Kementerian Pemodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Ekonomi Luar Bandar melalui Jabatan Pertanian Sarawak untuk membuat kajian yang komprehensif bagi mengenalpasti pertanian ataupun tanaman yang mempunyai nilai komersial yang berimpak tinggi yang boleh dimajukan di kawasan DUN Murum dengan menerapkan penggunaan teknologi pertanian moden.

Oleh itu, saya mencadangkan supaya diwujudkan sebuah Taman Pengeluaran Makanan di

kawasan Murum dan mewujudkan Pusat Pengumpulan Hasil Pertanian dan Produk Desa di Sg. Asap serta mewujudkan Stesen Pertanian di Tubau, Long Urun dan Lusong Laku bagi mentransformasikan sosioekonomi penduduk di kawasan ini secara mampan.

Balai Polis dan AADK di BRS Sg. Asap

Tuan Speaker, agensi penguatkuasa adalah menjadi keperluan untuk ditubuhkan di setiap

daerah untuk menjamin keselamatan dan kesejahteraan rakyat. Oleh itu saya memohon supaya pos polis di BRS Sg. Asap dinaik taraf ke status Balai Polis tetap. Dalam masa yang sama, perlu juga ditempatkan Pegawai Narkotik di balai berkenaan termasuk Pegawai Pendidikan Pencegahan Dadah khususnya di sekolah-sekolah menengah serta mewujudkan Pejabat Agensi Anti-Dadah Kebangsaan (AADK) di BRS Sg. Asap. Permohonan ini diperlukan dengan adanya masalah penyalahgunaan dadah di kawasan DUN Murum yang semakin serius dan kian meningkat.

Tuan Speaker, besarlah harapan saya agar Kerajaan dapat memberi perhatian yang serius

dan menyelesai perkara-perkara yang saya sebut diatas dengan kadar segera. Saya tidak akan berhenti membawa perkara-perkara tersebut ke Dewan yang mulia ini selagi ia belum diselesaikan demi rakyat saya di DUN Murum.


73

Penutup

Tuan Speaker, untuk mengakhiri ucapan saya, pada kesempatan ini saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa di bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak serta Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri yang bakal tiba kepada semua rakan yang beragama Islam.

Manakala kepada rakan Dayak ataupun kaban belayan yang meraikan Hari Gawai Dayak

diucapkan Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, Lantang Senang, Nguan Menua. Syabas dan tahniah kepada Tuan Speaker kerana telah berjaya mengendalikan persidangan kali ini dengan begitu bijak, profesional dan cemerlang sekali. Tidak lupa juga kepada pegawai-pegawai Dewan yang mulia ini, semua agensi Kerajaan yang telah memberi komitmen yang tinggi dalam menjalankan tugas masing-masing.

Dengan ini, saya mohon menyokong usul penghargaan atas Ucapan Perasmian Pembukaan
