PAS Cuma Bersuara, Harap Kerajaan Selesaikan
SIBUTI - Rumah panjang Lagan Sg Telajin Sibuti lebih kurang 1 jam setengah dari bandaraya Miri. Baru-baru ini PAS Miri membuat lawatan ke rumah panjang untuk meninjau sendiri keadaan dan masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk di rumah panjang dalam kawasan Sibuti.
Rumah panjang ini adalah antara beberapa buah rumah panjang yang menghadapi masalah bekalan air bersih selain daripada masalah jalan masuk ke kampung yang teruk. Walaupun ada papantanda naiktaraf jalan terletak dipinggir jalan rumah panjang tersebut tetapi sehingga kini tiada tanda-tanda jalan tersebut boleh disiapkan dalam masa terdekat.
Penduduk di rumah panjang terbabit sudah lama menunggu agar pihak kerajaan membekalkan bekalan air bersih ke rumah mereka tetapi sehingga kini tiada tanda-tanda ada kerja pemasangan paip air disalur ke rumah mereka.
Walaupun kerajaan Malaysia menyumbangkan tangki air 1Malaysia tetapi ianya tidak mampu menampung keperluan harian mereka apabila musim kemarau panjang. Mereka terpaksa menggunakan air sungai yang berdekatan untuk mandi, membasuh makanan, pakaian dan sebagainya.
Penggunaan racun perosak yang berleluasan di ladang kelapa sawit yang berdekatan dengan sungai boleh mengancam kesihatan penduduk yang menggunakan air sungai tersebut. Walaupun setakat ini kita belum mendengar ada keracunan atau pencemaran air sungai tersebut, sekiranya tidak dikawal dengan sebaik mungkin sudah pasti suatu hari nanti perkara yang tidak diingini boleh berlaku dan mengancam kesihatan penduduk yang menggunakan air sungai tersebut. Mencegah adalah lebih baik dari mengubati.
Kita mendesak agar pihak kerajaan segera menyalurkan bekalan air bersih ke rumah panjang tersebut demi menjaga keselamatan dan kesihatan penduduk disitu. Kita tidak mahu nanti ada penduduk yang mengadu sakit akibat menggunakan air sungai yang tercemar disebabkan tiada kemudahan asas yang diberi oleh pihak pemerintah yang sepatutnya menjaga kepentingan awam dan juga rakyat yang terbabit.
Kita akan terus menyuarakan dan menyampaikan masalah rakyat kepada pihak yang berkenaan agar segala masalah mereka ini dapat diberi perhatian dan diatasi dengan segera.
Kita berharap jangan ada pula orang yang tidak senang hati dengan keluhan rakyat ini disuarakan ke media sebab perkara ini adalah untuk kebaikan semua bukan untuk kepentingan peribadi.
Harap pihak yang berkenaan dapat melaksanakan tugas mereka dengan amanah, jujur, telus dan adil untuk semua tanpa mengira bangsa, agama dan fahaman politik.

Longhouse's problems in Sibuti Still Not Resolved
SIBUTI - Longhouse Lagan Sg Telajin Sibuti about 1 and a half hours from Miri city. PAS Miri recently visited the longhouse to observe itself the situation and the problems faced by the people in the longhouse in Sibuti area.
This longhouse is one of several longhouses that face water supply problem apart from the problems of access roads to the village that was severe. Although there is upgrade road signboard located just off the road at the longhouses but so far no signs of the road can be completed in the near future.
Residents in these longhouses had been waiting for the government to supply clean water to their homes, but so far no signs of water pipe installation work are channeled to their house.
Although the Malaysian government contributed 1Malaysia water tank but it is not able to support their daily needs when the long dry season. They had to use nearby river water for bathing, washing food, clothes and so on.
A massive scale use of pesticides in oil palm plantations near the river can threaten the health of the people who use the river water. Although so far we have not heard of poisoning or pollution of rivers, if not controlled in the best possible is certainly one day of adverse events can occur and threaten the health of the people who use the river water. Prevention is better than cure.
We urge the government to immediately deliver clean water supply to the longhouse in order to protect the safety and the health of the population there. We do not want to have people who complain of illness due to contaminated river water because there are no basic facilities provided by the government which should protect the public interest and also the people involved.
We will continue to express and deliver people's problems to the relevant authorities so that all these problems can be addressed and resolved immediately.
We hope should there are those not happy with these people complain expressed to the media because this is for the good of all not for personal gain.
Hope the parties concerned perform their job with trust, honest, transparent and fair to all regardless of race, religion and political belief.
Yours faithfully,

SUPP distribute TR1Ma Forms
SUPP Youth Central Chairman, Tan Kai met up with Chairman of four taxi association to pass them the forms under Teksi Rakyat 1Malaysia (TR1Ma) this morning at Khoo Hung Yen Road to allow them to enjoy the benefit of getting RM520 for changing vehicle tyres.
Tan Kai in giving out the forms with his Youth members said in the last incentive exercise for the taxi, Sarawak Taxi drivers had missed out so this time, the SUPP would assist the taxi drivers in how to get their incentives. He said there was 150 forms given out this morning and there are over 500 taxi drivers in the State. "We would assist them in getting more forms," he said.
He said there are four places where the taxi drivers can go to at Sin Chiat Hin Trading Sdn Bhd at Jalan Kedandi, Tabuan Jaya, Shin Chin Tyres and Batteries Sdn Bhd at Jalan Merbau, Biawak Industrial Estate, Sunlun Sdn Bhd at Pending Commerical centre and Kim Leong Battery company at Permaisuri Road, Kuching.
Saying that most taxi drivers in Sarawak are full time taxi drivers, he said they rely heavily on tourists. "They must be thankful that under Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, the country is peaceful to allow a good flow of tourist. If we have demonstration and protest daily in unstable condition, we would miss out on tourists coming in," he added.
Recently, the Prime Minister had announced an incentive of almost RM35 million for taxi drivers in the country under the1Malaysia People's Taxi programme for each taxi to receive a tyre subsidy voucher of RM520 to replace four tyres for a period of two years.
The types of taxis that were eligible to receive the subsidy were budget taxis, executive taxis, hire cars and airport taxis.
Earlier on, the taxi drivers had requested for Tan Kai to seek for petrol subsidies as the taxi drivers spend between RM800 to RM1,200 per month.
Sarawak Taxi Owners Association Chairman, Tay Teck Ming said previously they enjoyed the subsidised diesel but now the majority of taxi drivers are using petrol instead of diesel. He hoped that they would be able to get a subsides of 30 to 50 sen per litre.
Tan kai said he would bring up the problem to higher authority as such petrol subsidies were enjoyed by fishermen and those in the Agriculture sector.

PAS Menyampaikan Masalah Rakyat bukan Berbohong Untuk Meraih Undi
Merujuk kepada kenyataan Kaunselor Engkamat Juna dalam Utusan Borneo
berkata, bahawa PAS membuat tuduhan liar dan pembohongan dalam isu
memohon MyKad penghuni rumah Sengkabang.
Untuk pengetahuan Kaunselor Engkamat, Kami mendapat maklumat dan
bertanya sendiri dengan penduduk terbabit dan ini bukan tuduhan liar
tetapi kenyataan kerana mereka sudah lama menanti Mykad dan ada
diantara mereka tiada memiliki surat beranak sejak lahir sehingga
dewasa. Isu ini dibangkit semata-mata untuk kebaikan penduduk terbabit
bukan tujuan untuk meraih undi seperti tuduhan kaunselor Engkamat.
Kalau pihak PAS tidak menyuarakan masalah ini sudah pasti perkara ini
tidak diambil perhatian oleh pihak berkuasa. Sepatutnya wakil rakyat
atau pihak yang diamanah untuk menjaga kebajikan masyarakat pergi
turun padang dan menyelesaikan masalah ini bukan menuduh dan
menyalahkan PAS kerana menyuarakan masalah rakyat.
Kalau selama ini penduduk terbabit tidak dapat pembelaan dari pihak
berwajib sepatutnya mereka sendiri turun padang dan jangan menuduh
pihak PAS datang semata-mata untuk meraih undi. Kita datang untuk
membantu menyuarakan masalah rakyat supaya pihak kerajaan dapat
bertindak dan mengatasinya.
Kalau sebelum ini tiada pihak datang menyuarakan masalah rakyat maka
sebagai sebuah parti untuk semua, kita bersedia datang untuk membantu
menyuarakan masalah rakyat agar pihak berkenaan dapat bertindak dengan
sewajarnya. Harap mereka yang menuduh PAS berbohong agar menarik balik
kenyataan tersebut kerana kita melaporkan isu-isu semasa berpandukan
maklumat dari pihak yang terbabit dan bukannya rekaan semata-mata
untuk meraih undi.
Kita tidak pernah memaksa rakyat untuk mengundi kita, bukannya macam
sesetengah pihak yang mengugut dan mengancam mereka yang tidak mahu
mengundi mereka. Hak rakyat untuk memilih kerajaan terserah dengan
kebijaksanaan pengundi masing-masing bukannya dengan rasuah seperti
membeli undi dengan wang dan janji-janji kosong. PAS berjuang untuk
kepentingan dan keadilan rakyat bukan untuk kepentingan peribadi. PAS
untuk semua.

PAS deliver People's Problem not lying To Regain Vote
Referring to the statement of counselor Engkamat Juna in Utusan
Borneo, said that PAS make wild accusations and lies in the issue of
apply for MyKad of Sengkabang residents.
To the attention of counselor Engkamat, we get information and ask the
rural folk itself and this is not wild allegations, but the fact that
they had been waiting for MyKad and some of them not have a birth
certificate since birth to adulthood. This issue is raised solely for
the benefit of the people involved not the purpose to gain votes as
allegations by counselor Engkamat.
If the PAS does not voice this problem of course this was not noted by
the authorities. Should be representative of the people or entrusted
to the welfare of the community go down to the field and solve this
problem is not to accuse and blame PAS for expressing the people's
problems.
If all this while the rural folk do not get support from the
authorities should be they themselves down the field and do not accuse
the PAS come merely to gain votes. We came to help voiced the people's
problems so that the government can respond and resolve it.
If before this No party comes voiced the problems of the people, as a
party for all, we are willing to come to help people voice their
problems so that the parties concerned can act accordingly. Hope those
who accuse PAS lied to withdraw the statement as we report on current
issues based on information from parties involved and not designed
solely to gain votes.
We never force the people to vote for us, not like some people who
intimidate and threaten those who do not want to vote for them.
People's right to choose their own government is up with wisdom of
voters respectively instead of corruption, such as buying votes with
money and empty promises. PAS fought for justice and the interests of
the people not for personal gain.
PAS for all

Malaysia down with 5D if Najib win 14-0
Chief Minister of Penang who is also DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan said if Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak succeeds In leading BN To 14-0 Victory in the next general election, Malaysia would suffer 5Ds of Deficits, Debts, Deceits, Dictatorship And brain Drain.
Speaking to a crowd of about 4,000 people at the BDC ceremah on Sunday night, Lim said Malaysians are restless for change. "The question is whether this will be a change to win the future with integrity in leadership or change back to the past where we see our children's future stolen as ours were stolen by corruption for the past 50 years," he said.
Lee said BN is now in a state of arrogant hubris following the success of its cash handouts and using money politics to buy popularity. Penang PR accepts the possibility that BN can snatch power by hook or by crook at the 13th general elections.
"However, the implications of a 14-0 victory would have serious repercussions for Malaysia, especially worsening corruption leading to higher deficits and debts that can only be brought about by greater repression and dictatorial powers. Police brutality unleashed against peaceful demonstrators during the Bersih rallies have resulted in a loss of public confidence in the independence of the police, who are perceived as willing political tools of a dictatorial BN government".
He pointed out that corruption has deteriorated with Transparency International ranking Malaysia at No. 60 in the Corruption Perception Index compared to No. 37 in 2003. "Instead of giving out loans to farmers who breed cows, the family of a Minister who has never reared a cow is given RM 250 million loan, which is misused to buy condos. We can see some of the worst excesses in Sarawak where wealth controlled by families of state government leaders are openly flaunted," he added.
Lim said since Merdeka in 1957, more than 2 million Malaysians have left the country and the recent change in Australian work visa policy that allows Australian graduates to stay back in Australia for 2-4 years will only accelerate the brain drain.
According to him, BN's recent RM13.8 billion 2012 supplementary budget will add on to the projected RM 45.9 billion projected deficit in the 2012 budget, resulting in a total deficit of RM 59.7 billion, the highest in Malaysian history. This would easily put Malaysia's deficit as a % of GDP at more than 6% in 2012, which is significantly higher than the initially projected 4.7%.
"The fiscal irresponsibility of the BN government is proven by the fact that the additional funds will be spent on the extra RM 1.5 million allocation to BN MPs from this supplementary budget while non-BN MPs including those from Pakatan Rakyat will be given nothing. The strategy of going to the taxpayers to fund more of its irresponsible spending habits is not something new for the BN. BN requested for an additional RM 13.2 billion in June 2011 and an additional RM 10.3 billion in March 2012 for the 2011 Budget," he pointed out.
Lim lamented that as of 31 March 2012, government debt stood at RM 470 billion and if the expected deficit from the 2012 budget was to be included, the goverment debt will beyond RM500b by the end of the 2012.
In contrast to BN's dismal financial performance, PR state governments have recorded surplus after surplus every year and even managed to reduce our debts sustainably. He said Penang reduced the debts by a whopping 95% or RM600 million from RM630 million at 8 March 2008 to only RM30 million by end 2011. "All this was achieved not by BN's deceit but by straight talking of running a clean government based on CAT governance of competency, accountability and transparency. In comparison in 2011, Sarawak has a debt exposure of at least RM4.3 billion comprising of total direct and indirect debt to the federal government and private sector.
.
Clearly the system of open competitive tenders, disclosure of government contracts with the private sector, public declaration of assets certified by an international accounting firm and the passing of a Freedom of Information Act works in combating corruption. PR states like Penang have proven that a clean government can perform better than a corrupt government," he said.
Sebuyau Wooden Town Up In Smoke
About 80 people are made homeless in Sebuyau after an inferno razed through 17 double storey wooden shop-houses and thirteen stalls late Sunday evening. The historical shop houses were at least 60 years old destroyed two coffee shops, six grocery shops, one hardware shop, one stationary shop, one furniture shop, a retail shop, an association and a tailor shop.
The fire was spotted at a shop house owned by Penghulu Lee Tze Min by a teenager who lived next door, Sim. Sim alerted her uncle, Shin Ah Buey who was watching television then.
As no one was staying in the shop house which operated a stationary and snooker business, Shin forced open the shop house while calling the Fire and Rescue Services department for help.
He and neighbouring shop owners tried to douse out the fire but it spread too fast and the strong wind blowing did not help much thus the adjacent shops were razed too.
12 local Voluntary Fire Fighters tried to fight the fire but due to limited equipments, they were forced back due to the heat.
The firemen received the distress call at 12.01am and summoned a Fire Engine from Simunjan Fire Station to the scene.
12 fire fighters from Simunjan Fire Station reached at the scene around 12.58am together with 13 personnel from Civil Defence Department.
According to Simunjan Fire Chief, Sekan Gundah, the fire fighters first used the water from the fire engine and then they had to connect two water pump from fire hydrant and the river.
He said they managed to control the fire from spreading to the other five rows of shop houses which also housed two petrol stations. He said firemen were worried of the two fire stations being razed as it would be disastrous. The fire was under control at 1.47 pm.
Sebuyau Kapitan, Law Kim Sheng placed all the fire victims to Chung Hua Primary school and said losses are heavy as most of the shop owners are not insured.
The headmistress of the primary school, Kua Tsuey Jen said the teachers are assisting the fire victims by cooking for them and to place them in the multi purpose hall temporary. She said the school is temporary close to children due to the heavy smoke.
One of fire victims, Chung Hua Association Chairman, Sin Hang Huang 65 said he had no where to stay and lost RM50,000 in the fire. He worked as a tailor and earned about RM700 per month.
Penduduk Asal Hidup Terpinggir Tanpa Pengenalan diri
SIBUTI - Rh Sengkabang yang terletak dalam kawasan parlimen Sibuti yang mengambil masa satu jam lebih perjalanan dari bandaraya Miri. Kebanyakan penduduk disitu berbangsa Iban dan bekerja sebagai petani. Jalan masuk ke rumah panjang Sengkabang agar teruk dimana apabila musim hujan jalannya berlumpur, licin dan sukar untuk kenderaan kecil bergerak.
Selain masalah jalanraya, bekalan air bersih juga antara masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk Rh Sengkabang dan mereka terpaksa menggunakan air sungai dan air hujan untuk kegunaan harian. Kerajaan Malaysia baru-baru ini menyumbang tangki air 1Malaysia kepada penduduk di rumah panjang tersebut.
Baru-baru ini PAS Miri juga telah berkunjung ke Rh Sengkabang dan bertemu dengan masyarakat Iban di situ. Mereka menyambut kedatangan rombongan PAS dengan baik dan mesra sekali. Mereka menceritakan keadaan nasib hidup mereka setelah rumah panjang asal mereka terbakar kira-kira 5 tahun yang lalu.
Sehingga kini tiada sebarang bantuan dari pihak pemerintah untuk membantu mereka membina semula rumah panjang mereka yang terbakar itu. Mereka terpaksa membina sendiri dalam keadaan yang serba daif semata-mata untuk melindungi mereka dari hujan dan panas.
Penduduk asal tiada memiliki pengenalan diri
Disamping masalah infrastuktur, ramai juga penduduk di Rh Sengkabang tidak mempunyai surat beranak dan juga kad pengenalan atau Mykad. Mereka mengadu kepada PAS untuk membawa perkara ini kepada pihak kerajaan agar dapat membantu menyelesaikan masalah mereka ini dengan segera. Hidup mereka yang tidak memiliki pengenalan diri ini ibarat pendatang asing tanpa izin.
Diantara nama-nama penduduk asal Rh Sengkabang yang tiada memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri adalah Linda Anak Renggie, 32 tahun, Connylia Bunga Anak Kubong, 7 tahun , Degeles Ingkie Anak Kubong, 6 tahun dan ramai lagi keluarga yang tidak memiliki surat beranak dan juga MyKad di Rh Sengkabang.
Antara masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk asal tanpa dokumen pengenalan diri adalah:-
- Tidak dibenar melanjutkan pelajaran ke pusat pengajian tinggi
- Tidak dibenar bekerja atau memegang jawatan dalam perkhidmatan awam dengan kerajaan atau pun syarikat swasta
- Tidak dibenar menuntut hak mereka sekiranya tanah mereka di rampas
- Tidak diberi bantuan oleh Jabatan kebajikan masyarakat
- Tidak diberi wang tunai Rm500.00 Borang Bantuan 1Malaysia (BR1M) seperti rakyat Malaysia yang layak
- Tidak diberi subsidi atau pun kemudahan kebajikan seperti penduduk yang memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri
Begitulah nasib yang menimpa mereka yang tidak memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri, mereka dianggap sebagai pendatang asing sedangkan asal usul keturunan mereka adalah peribumi Sarawak.
Diantara punca terjadinya mereka ini tidak memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri seperti surat beranak dan kad pengenalan adalah disebabkan jalan perhubungan negeri Sarawak yang sukar dihubungi dan terpaksa melalui jalan yang berliku-liku dan mengambil masa yang lama untuk sampai ke bandar atau pekan yang berdekatan untuk memproses membuat surat beranak dan kad pengenalan.
Ini sepatutnya tanggungjawab pihak seperti Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara untuk turun ke kampung-kampung atau rumah panjang untuk melakukan pendaftaran kelahiran dan seterusnya memproseskan kad pengenalan.
Penduduk yang tinggal jauh di pedalaman memang tidak semua yang mampu keluar ke bandar untuk membuat surat beranak dan kad pengenalan disebabkan kos perjalanan yang tinggi serta jalan perhubungan yang teruk sehingga sekarang masih lagi jalanraya masuk ke pedalaman Sarawak terlalu sukar ditembusi.
Kita mendesak agar pihak kerajaan memandang serious masalah penduduk asal yang tidak memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri ini kerana mereka adalah sebahagian daripada rakyat Malaysia yang tersisih dari arus pembangunan dan peluang mereka untuk mendapat hak sebagai rakyat juga perlu diberi pertimbangan.
Jangan pula ada kita dengar pendatang asing pula diberi kemudahan dan mendapatkan hak kerakyatan sedangkan penduduk asal tersingkir dari memiliki hak serta kemudahan yang sepatutnya. Jangan seperti kata pepatah "Anak di rumah mati kelaparan, kera di hutan disusukan."
Berlaku adillah kepada rakyat sendiri, jangan memandang ringan masalah ini kerana penduduk asal yang berhak keatas tanah air mereka sendiri bukannya pendatang asing yang berkuasa merampas hak mereka.
Kerajaan yang adil dan bertanggungjawab saja akan berusaha mengatasi masalah ini tanpa mengira bangsa dan agama.

The original inhabitant's life marginalized without Identification
SIBUTI - Rh Sengkabang located in Sibuti constituency that takes one hour from Miri city. Most of the people there are Iban and worked as a farmer. The entrance to the longhouse Sengkabang was so bad when the rainy season where the path muddy, slippery and difficult for vehicles to move around.
Besides the problems of roads, clean water supply was also among the problems faced by Rh Sengkabang residents and they had to use the river water and rainwater for daily use. The Malaysian Government recently contributed 1Malaysia water tank to the people in the longhouse.
Recently, PAS Miri has also traveled to Rh Sengkabang and met with the Iban community there. They welcome the PAS entourage very well and friendly. They told the fate of their lives after their original longhouse burned about 5 years ago.
To date there is no assistance from the government to help them to rebuild their longhouses which burnt. They had to build their own in the harsh conditions just to keep them from rain and heat.
The natives have no identity
In addition to infrastructure problems, many people in the Rh Sengkabang not have a birth certificate and identity card or MyKad. They complained to the PAS to bring this matter to the government in order to help solve their problems immediately. Their lives who do not have this identification like illegal immigrants.
Among the names of the original inhabitants of Rh Sengkabang which not have identification documents is Linda Anak Renggie, 32 years old, Connylia Bunga Anak Kubong, 7 years old, Degeles Ingkie Anak Kubong, 6 years old and many more families who do not have birth certificates and MyKad in Rh Sengkabang.
Among the problems faced by undocumented indigenous are: -
- Not allowed to pursue higher education
- Not allowed to work or hold positions in the public service with the government or private companies
- Not allowed to claim their rights if their lands confiscated
- Not to be given assistance by the Welfare Department
- Not to be given Rm500.00 cash 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) as Malaysian citizens who are eligible
- Not to be given subsidies or welfare facilities such as people those have personal identification documents
Such is the fate that befell those who do not have identity documents they are considered illegal immigrants while their roots are natives of Sarawak.
Among the causes of these people do not have personal identification documents such as birth certificates and identity cards are due to the State roads which difficult to reach and go through the winding road and take a long time to reach the city or towns to make the process of birth and identification cards.
This should be the responsibility of parties such as the National Registration Department to come down to the villages or longhouses to do the registration of births and then processing the identification cards.
People who live far inland as it is not all which could go out to the town to make a birth certificate and identity card because of high travel costs as well as roads severe until now remained the road in Sarawak inland too difficult to penetrate.
We urges the government to look seriously at the problem of the original inhabitants who do not have identity documents because they are part of the Malaysians which isolated from the mainstream of development and their chances of getting the right as citizens should also be considered.
Nor have we heard illegal immigrants are given the facilities and get their citizenship rights while the original inhabitants eliminated from the right and the facility which should. Do not like the saying goes, "Children at home dying of hunger, fed monkeys in the forest."
Be fair to our own people; do not look casually of this problem because the original inhabitants which own their own land not foreigners who seized power in its hands. Only fair and accountable government will strive to overcome of this problem, regardless of race and religion.
Yours faithfully,
Jofri Jaraiee
PAS Miri Chief cum PAS Sarawak Deputy Commissioner iii
