Armed Gang Robbery at Taman Pearl (Chinese & English Text)

民主行動党民都魯支部主席,砂羅越州民主行動党署理主席及砂羅越州吉多隆區立委周政新2O09年9月24日文告如下:

吉都隆区州议员周政新呼吁警方重视前晚在本市珍珠花园匪帮抢劫民宅的案件。

周氏说警方务必紧密的行动起来,马不停蹄的在最快的时间内破除匪帮的组织及延续。

据报道前晚约九时许,有4至6名持刀匪徒闯入住宅向家中的姐妹洗劫,而姐姐更遭匪徒所伤,送往医院治疗。

[我们不能接受匪帮成群结队的拿刀拿武器到处去抢劫。天啊!这是一个法治的民主国家。人民纳税给政府,为要政府做好治安,来保护人民的财产与生命,可是这些年来治安状况每况愈下,抢,偷劫案几乎每天都在发生。难道我们国家的治安是已经真的无药可救了。法治也已崩溃了?]

近两个月以来,民省内偷窃案件频频发生,先是偷豪华汽车,后来每天都有一两宗,小偷撬开铁花,家门,进入屋内,偷走屋主的电脑,手提电话与金器等。

那只是小偷,一两个人,拿了一些工具去干案。可是今天已变成了匪帮,成群结队的持武器敢敢的到民众的家去打抢。真是无法无天,根本就不把执法单位看在眼里。这在我们国家是绝对不可以发生的。

当时我已视察到事态的演变,而如这些偷窃案件的发生没有即刻竭止,恐怕会越演越烈,届时再来收拾恐怕已太晚了。今天的小偷已变成匪帮了。所以一个星期多前我已公开的呼吁政府应该提出一套解决偷抢劫案的方法以恢复人民对政府的信心。

周氏又说,记得去年这个时候匪帮持刀,枪入民宅,绑起家中的老少,抢走金钱,财物又伤人,甚至杀人,足足的发生了两个多月的时光,至到我在州议会,会议上提出紧急动议,而随之一帮匪帮在实比河一带被逮捕,而类似案件也静下了许多。

我感到遗憾的是今天匪帮又再卷土重来所以我呼吁政府各执法单位配合,而警方更全力以赴。在这些匪帮又屈起的时候,就把他扑灭,以让偷抢劫案件根本在民省就没有生存之余地。

我希望州国阵政府也能重视民省内的这些案件的发生并给于一切的支援。以还给人民一个安宁的社会及对政府的信心。


周政新。


Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch,DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 24th September, 2009:

State assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing urged the police to look seriously into the gang robbery at Taman Pearl night before.

Chiew said that the police must act quickly and precisely to break up the gang in the shortest time possible.

He said that according to report, that night at about 9, a gang of 4 to 6 persons armed with knives went into a home and robbed off valuables from the 2 sisters who were in the house. They also took other valuables from the house and even hurt one of the girls.

We cannot accept robbers in gang armed with knives and other weapons roaming our street and robbing our homes as they like. By Gosh, this is a democratic country and a country rule by laws. The people paid taxes to the government, so that the government can manage our security to give us peace, security and protection for our property. Regretfully, the situation is getting from worse to worst, snatching and stealing crimes are happening everyday. Is there really no more cure for this anymore and our rule of law is crumbling?

In Bintulu, break-in into homes and stealing has been happening everyday for the past 2 months. First, it was the stealing of luxury cars and now everyday there is one or two cases of break-ins to homes stealing laptops, hand phones, cash, valuables etc.

Those were petty thefts by one or two person with simple tools. But today it has turned into gang robbers carrying weapons going into peoples home to rob, as if there is no more law. They could not even see the enforcement people in their eyes having no respect for them. This must not happen in our country.

As I observe and if these petty thefts are not stopped immediately, I am concerned that it may become worse and by the time we realize it, it may already be too late. The petty theft had transformed into gang robbery now. That is why about a week ago, I had issued an open statement to call on the government to come up with a set of solutions to overcome the rampant snatching and stealing crimes so as to restore the confident of the people in the government.

Chiew also said that it is still clear in his mind that about this time last year gang robbers carrying knives, went into peoples home at early morning hours, tied up the older folks and robbed off cash, and other valuables. Sometimes they hurt the home owners and even one was killed. That went on for about over 2 months until the DUN meeting when I attempted to move a motion on it and after that a gang was caught at Sibiew area and silenced the gang robbery for quite a while.

Today it is most regrettable that the gang robbery is back and I call on the government and all units to work together, while the police to go all out and nib the snatching, stealing and gang robbery crimes at its bud. So that Bintulu could be free from such crimes.

I hope that the Barisan National government can treat combating the crime in Bintulu as important and give full support so as to give back the peace and security of the society to the people there and win back their confidence in the government.

House Break-In -- PDRM Tips (From PDRM Homepage) BM Text

Pecah Rumah

Pihak polis ingin mengingatkan orang ramai supaya lebih berhati-hati semasa meninggalkan rumah pada masa yang agak panjang, kerana balik kampung atau menziarahi anak saudara. Sila rujuk panduan am pencegahan pecah rumah ini; maklumkan alamt rumah, alamat kampung dan nombor telefon yang boleh dihubungi sepanjang perayaan kepada jiran dan balai polis terdekat. Nombor telefon ibu pejabat polis daerah dan balai polis serta bilik gerakan yang beroperasi 24 jam boleh diperolehi di sini.

Bagaimana boleh berlaku

  • Memotong mangga (ibu kunci) dengan gergaji besi.
  • Memasuki melalui bumbung rumah/siling yang terbuka.
  • Tingkap yang tidak berkunci/terbuka
  • Menggunakan kunci pendua


Sebab-sebab Berlaku Pecah Rumah

  • Tidak memberitahu jiran dan polis apabila meninggalkan rumah kosong
  • Tiada muafakat sesama jiran untuk mengawasi kediaman masing-masing
  • Meletakkan barang yang bernilai di sekitar atau dalam rumah yang dapat dilihat dari luar
  • Menunjukkan tanda rumah tidak dihuni seperti langganan akhbar dan roti yang tidak dihentikan.
  • Kedudukan rumah yang terpencil serta struktur rumah yang memudahkan penjenayah memasukinya.
  • Membiarkan pintu atau tingkap terbuka, terdedah tanpa pengawasan atau ditutup tanpa berkunci.

  • Sekiranya bercadang untuk bercuti lama, hentikan langganan akhbar atau roti supaya tidak meninggalkan tanda rumah tiada berpenghuni.

Nasihat apabila berlaku pecah rumah
  • Segera buat laporan di Balai Polis berhampiran.
  • Jangan menyentuh atau mengubah apa-apa jua barang yang didapati berselerak selepas dimasuki pencuri. Ini bertujuan untuk melindungi bukti di tempat kejadian seperti kesan cap jari atau alat-alat yang ditinggalkan penjenayah.

The BN Government Must Combat Rampant Crime Rate to Restore Basic Trust (Chinese & English Text)

民主行動党民都魯支部主席,砂羅越州民主行動党署理主席及砂羅越州吉都隆區立委周政新2O09年9月12日文告如下:

吉都隆区州立委周政新说当人民在饱受治安不靖苦果的时候,国阵政府应该提出一套解决问题的方案以恢复人民对他的信心。

我感到遗憾的是,国阵政府近年来正当人民在喊求救的时候他们却充当聋子,把人民的心声当做耳边风。这么久来,连一个积体的解决方案来帮人民解决问题也没有。结果今天州内的治安问题每况愈下,变得越来越猖狂。

例如近月来民省内偷窃案件又频频发生,每天都一两宗。小偷撬开铁花,爬入屋内,偷走屋主的电脑,手提电话与金器等。人民不但损失了财务,更为自身及家人的安全感到不安。

周氏指出假如这些偷窃案件没有即时竭止,恐怕会越演越烈,届时再来收拾恐怕已是太晚了。

周氏又说人民对偷窃案件已感到气愤,真的是受不了了。前些时候偷窃者专偷豪华汽车,今天又入屋偷窃。试问偷窃和抢劫案件到底要到何时才会了决,以恢复国阵所谓的“砂州人间天堂”的真面目。

国阵政府应该知道今天州内偷窃抢劫案件的发生已变本加厉。除了警方须革新与壮大来建立起他的威信及效能,政府更应该从社会,不道德商业,外劳等病态所引发偷,抢窃案件来下手,减低社会的贫穷,让更多的人有就业机会,并灌输正确的道德,人生观及信仰。

我希望国阵政府不要在面对州内治安不靖时显得那么无能,什么都没做,忍心的让人民自生自灭。该是时候政府站出来实际的为人民做一点事了。


周政新。


Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch,DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 12th Sept., 2009.

State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that it is high time that the BN government come out with a set of answers to combat the rampant crime rate in our state so as to restore the basic trust of the people in its government.

What is most regrettable is that while the people are crying out for help yet the government is playing deaf, as if they just cannot hear. For so long already there is not even an answer to help the people in facing with theft cases. As a result security and peace in our state is getting worse and worse and thieves are getting more and more daring.

Take for example theft cases in Bintulu which happen almost everyday for the past few months. Thieves are breaking security grills and entering into homes, stealing laptops, hand phones, jewels, cash and others. The people lost not only their property but also are worried about the safety of themselves and their family members.

Chiew pointed out that if we do not stop these smaller house break in cases at its early stage, it may evolve into more serious crime and it may be too late then to deal with it altogether anymore.

Bintulu folks are very angry already with the thieves stealing here and there and they really had enough. A while back it was the stealing of the luxurious 4 wheel drives and today break in and stealing household goods. When is this all going to end so as to return Sarawak to its “heaven on earth” slogan as being boasted by the BN leadership few years back.

The BN government ought to know that house break ins and other crimes are getting and more serious in our state and apart from reforming the police force, government should also tackle crime from other angles like the social, commerce, migrant workers, education and others. We need to drastically reduce our poverty rate while increasing our work opportunity and to instil the right moral values and religion in our folks.

I hope that the BN government would not continue to look that helpless in facing the crime, doing practically nothing, letting out people all alone by themselves to deal with the crime. It is about time that the BN government should stand up and be counted in doing something for the people.

Chiew Chin Sing.

Public Interest - The First Priority in the Execution of Public Works (Chinese & English Text)

民主行動党民都魯支部主席,砂羅越州民主行動党署理主席及砂羅越州吉都隆區立委周政新2O09年9月3日文告如下:

基都隆区州议员周政新呼吁民省公共工程局关注,以确保任何牵涉到公众事件的工程都必须以公众利益的考量为优先。

周氏是针对省内,美民路5里内,主干敦胡先翁路,的一点道路提升工程,承包商是在该路段的数处重新铺上沥青。由于施工也在交通最繁忙的时候还进行,所以导致昨天傍晚美民路大塞车,久达整个钟头。

周氏说,这样事情的发生是绝对不应该的。但是,该工作的施工,根本就没有考虑到道路使用者的方便与利益。承包商我做我的工作,你塞车是你的事。这种把别人痛苦当做透明的态度是完全不能接受的,而这种的承包商本来就没有资格承接任何公共工程的工作。

叫人难以置信的是,承包商怎会看不到在交通繁忙时施工会导致怎样的后果。

今天这样的事情还在发生,已很清楚的告诉了我们,政府交货系统的失败。人们毕竟要问有关单局到底是怎样监督承包商工作的。假如今天连在交通繁忙时会导致塞车都看不到,那大家对最后工程的品质,我相信大家都心里有数。

卡在塞车队伍的人们,被塞车了整个钟头,气愤地向我投诉他们塞车时所承受的痛苦与损失。有的工作了一整天,累着要回家休息又不能,有生病的,有的赶时间也被耽误,有的车燃油红灯也已亮起,等等等等太多状况了。还有许多的马来同胞禁食了一天还未喝到水, 着急的正赶着回家与家人一起开斋。

“他们不明白为何工作不能在晚上或交通较少的时候进行”。

所以我希望有关当局提高警惕,因为这些人为的疏忽所带给别人的不便与痛苦是应该完全被避免的。警惕工作,提高工作效率,一切以民为本,为国为民,时时给人民提供最佳的服务。


周政新。



Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch ,DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 3rd September, 2009

The Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong, Chiew Chin Sing, called upon the Bintulu Department of Public Works to take heed to ensure that public interest should always be first priority in the execution of any public works.

Chiew was specifically referring to the little tar sealing, upgrading works within the 5 mile length of the Bintulu/Miri Road. He said that the contractor work even at traffic peak hours and as a result, serious jam had occurred yesterday evening, where some were jammed for almost an hour.

“This should really never happen” Chiew said, “But when you have contractor who do not give due consideration and concern to others, as if traffic jam was none of its business and went on working any way at peak hours, such contractor should never be accepted to be qualified to do public works in the first place. The indifference attitude of the contractor towards the sufferings of the public as caused by his works is not right”.

It is incomprehendable how the contractor could fail to see the traffic jam it could cause by working at traffic peak hours.

The fact that this actually happen, is a glaring example of the failure of the government delivery system. People like to know how is the work actually being supervised and if the supervising unit cannot even foresee traffic jam working at peak hours, one doubt very much if they can see the quality of the final works.

Many were struck in the jam for an hour. One who was so mad called me up, and told me of his pain and losses because of the jam. Many had had a tiring day and had wanted to go home quick to rest, some were sick; some missed their appointments while for some others the fuel tank red light had even come on. And not to forget our Malay brothers and sisters who had been fasting for a whole day and need to be home to break the fast with their family.

One thing they cannot understand is why could not the works be done at night or at other none traffic peak hours.

I therefore hope that the authority concerned would take heed because this kind of man caused sufferings to others must be totally avoided. Government should always be on the alert, work efficiently, and whatever you do, think of the people. People first and give them the best service at all times.


Chiew Chin Sing.
