TYT Speech DUN May 2010 Sitting (English & Chinese)
Speech by Chiew Chiu Sing ADUN N59 Kidurong on the debate of Motion of Appreciation on Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertua Negeri’s Address on 17th of May, 2010 in the Sarawak State Legislative Council, Kuching, Sarawak.
Mr. Speaker,
I rise to take part on the debate of Motion of Appreciation on Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertua Negeri’s Address which was so graciously delivered by His Excellency the Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertua Negeri in this May House on Monday, the 17th of May, 2010.
Mr. Speaker,
Forty seven years after joining to form Malaysia and after decades of development strategies, and according to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates from 1992-2007, our country is facing decline in our economic growth.
Our export competitiveness since year 2000 is also declining seriously according to the analysis of Malaysia’s Merchandise Exports as a Percentage of World Merchandise Imports 1995-2007.
Private investments have declined in recent years while our country has become a less attractive investment destination for foreign and Malaysian investors.
We talked so much about value adding to our raw products. Yet we are not doing well with the down streams development of our oil and gas, palm oil, timber and rubber. We talked about industrialized agriculture, aquaculture and government initiatives like Bio technology, Rubber Research Institute, the Palm oil Board, MSC, Knowledge –intensive economy. And we also talked much about large scale tourism, education hub, medical tourism, halal development and others, but we only make patchy progress.
On the social aspects of our growth on knowledge, education, human development, income and wealth distribution, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability, they are not rosy either. As according to the World Bank we are just marginally below the upper middle income nations on knowledge economy index since 1995. Our education standard is also well below the upper middle income nations’ standard. And our Gini rating is far from satisfactory ranking at 49.2 in the 2007/2008 UNDP Human Development Report, close standing with countries like Mozambique, Madagascar, Costa Rica, Zimbabwe etc.
According to the Sarawak Yearbooks, our Sarawak economy grew in tandem with the nation. Our knowledge and education rating is at best equal to that of our nation’s rating, they are the middle-income group, when our income and wealth distribution and poverty eradication are significantly worst off, then our nation’s level, while the fruit of our success are not evenly distributed among the people.
Our infrastructure and social development have not kept pace with economic growth. And our commercial and growth objectives appear to dominate environmental sustainability and social needs or rights and at the neglect of good governance.
Mr. Speaker
We are at a cross road and we are not doing well. We must shift into higher gear to salvage us from getting worst. What is needed is leadership, political will and good values with a sense of equity and fairness. Respect for human and traditional rights, respect for the rule of law, accountability for actions and outcomes and most of all, all these must be seen to be proper and just in the eyes of the people.
Having said that, I believe we just might be able to do better economically in the coming years. We could continue on developing our existing industries like oil and gas and tourism and use our low-cost hydro energy to drive further industrialization but we need to push very aggressively on our downstream industries for our key commodities, and get dead serious in developing our agriculture and aquaculture industries. By getting dead serious I mean it should be science based and done commercially on an industrial scale. Just look at Taiwan their orchid farming and fisheries industries are two of the many successes industries in their country, bringing in much wealth and success for the Taiwanese.
And as for our local Small and Medium Enterprises we need to further develop and strengthen them, in specific sub sectors areas in line with the industrial development plans.
On the demand side we need to grow our domestic consumption. We need aggressive measures in our marketing strategies and products development so that the products would meet the target groups in every corner of our local economy doubling or tripling the local consumption as compare to now.
We can do better in our social development also. First of all we have to accelerate our human capital and knowledge development and we can even get resources outside of Sarawak by scrapping away some of the bureaucracy so that the resources can be made more easily available.
We have about 100 universities in our country, apart from churning out degree holders, some of these institutions could be restructured in stages, to specialize, to align to meet the needs of the economy in terms of market realities. I have seen some research institutions in Taiwan that exist side by side with the industries, turning out human capital, give full support and assistance in every aspect of the industries, from management to research and development and others, so as to ensure the full success of the industries.
The Fisheries Research Institute of Taiwan has five divisions and five research centers strategically located throughout Taiwan implementing comprehensive research on the use of fishery resources, improvements in fishing technology, enhancement of fishery stocks, advancement of aquaculture technology application of biotechnology, and processing of fishery products.
Another thing that we must also do better in our social development is to give better health coverage especially to rural areas and the lower income group. We must also create more employment opportunities to raise our productivity and higher earning levels for our people especially the young ones.
Our infrastructure development must be adequate and basic amenities sufficiently provided to be in line with the economic development. So many of our rural areas still lag so far behind in social development. No pipe water, no electricity, dirt road and poor communication system.
Mr. Speaker,
Yes, we can do better and we must do better in our economic and social development. Like I said just now we must have the will, the leadership and good values. In other words, good governance. A government that is participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive as well as abiding by the rule of law.
Mr. Speaker, I also wish to bring out some issues in my constituency which the people are concerned about and I urge that the relevant ministries to look and act on them. First of all it is the pipe water supply to the Sebatu and Kampongs of Suai area. In fact it is the Suai river area, Ulu Niah and Sebuti also, with due respect the Honourable members from Kemena and Bekenu.
These areas are so prone to drought, drinking water and water for bathing and daily use is becoming a regular problem. I mean it happened last year in July and it happened again this year in Febuary/March where water in the water tanks ran empty and the washing and bathing water, in the streams become slow, stagnant and polluted, meandering through the oil palm estate. Worst still, the water in the streams is being polluted by the blow from the oil palm mills upstream.
I mean how could we stand it when we see our rural brothers and sisters bathing and doing washing in stagnant streams where they have to push away the green algae on the water surface first before they can dish in to get the water. And that is not just for a few days; sometimes it is like that for weeks.
Honorable Minister for planning and resource management had said in our last sitting in November that a rural water supply master plan study had been completed recently and proposals for implementation will be put up in stages in Tenth Malaysia Plan and subsequent Malaysia plan.
To the folks who are often without water, that sounds really far fetching, I mean this is the 21st century already and technology is so advance now. We have even sent a man into space. I hope that the water supply problem in the areas I just mentioned and in fact throughout Sarawak, could be given top priority and could all be dealt with immediately.
But in the mean time could the government be more sensitive and attentive by sending water trucks to supply water to those longhouses and kampongs without water immediately, before their water tanks run dry.
From what I saw last year, water truck did not start moving only until three, four weeks after the folks were out of water. Tuai Rumah had to make a trip to the Sub District Office to make a request, the Officer could be out for a meeting in Miri and thus a delay, the request then went to Miri, to the Resident office and then to a Disaster Relief Committee and to the welfare office and finally to the JKR office and only then came down to the water station in Niah. In between there could be so many delays and interruptions. And it is no wonder that by the time the trucks started moving, it had been weeks already. It was the same this year, slow.
And there were not enough water trucks. JKR only got a few numbers for all the above areas. And when the government rent temporary water trunks with tanks on lorry even then there are only so few of them. Last year when the no water situation in longhouses and kampongs at Sebatu and the Bintulu/Miri road became so bad and government water trucks was not forth coming and with no annual fund allocations for us in the opposition, I had to rent two lorries with water tanks and pay some more for the water to JKR and LAKU with my own money and go myself with another party member of to delivery the water to all the affected longhouses. In 10 days we delivered water to them all.
I cannot understand why the government had to take so long. It is not a difficult job. In fact, she could rent more trucks and go more rounds during the no water period, making sure that the rural folks have water supply at all times before the water tank run dry. I mean this is the least that the government can do especially when she cannot supply the rural folks with normal water.
Another thing I cannot understand is why do I have to pay for the water when I am using it to help the longhouse and kampong folks. If JKR send the water, government pay for it plus the transportation cost, but when I send, I have to pay for it. And if I let the government send the water, it may come only when the next rain falls. I hope the government could at least let me pump the water for free, to give to the no water rural folks. Mind you the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor is supplying free water to all its people there.
Mr. Speaker,
The 4 chinese primary schools in Bintulu are getting crowded each with an average of about 1300 students, though SRB Chung Hua has 1700 pupils. And as the Chinese students population increases in Bintulu more and more of them are being put into a fixed number of classes. As a result many of the class rooms are getting over crowded.
It is therefore right that a new Chinese primary school should be built in Bintulu next year to cater for the increase in student population as a result of the development there which is bringing in more and more people to Bintulu.
While it is important that more Chinese primary schools should be built, it is equally important that more mandarin speaking teachers should be trained and be sent to the Chinese schools. It is not right to send teachers who do not understand mandarin to teach in a mandarin speaking school. I mean how can learning be done when the teacher speaks in one language and the stuedents another.
At the moment each Chinese primary school in Bintulu has at least five of these teachers, not that there is anything personal about this, but it is really about getting the right person for the right job.
Mr. Speaker,
Like all other schools, Chinese primary school needs money for school maintenance and building more facilities like class rooms and others. I therefore urge that the government to allocate sufficient funds yearly to the Chinese primary school and even the Chinese Independent School and I would like to propose also that these allocations should be bank in directly to the School Board of Management Account instead of allocating it to the Education Department.
Although government do allocate some funds from time to time, to Chinese primary schools but they have always been used by political party for their political agenda. For example like the 150 million allocations of funds to all Chinese primary school for Sarawak in 2007, Bintulu’s 6 chinese primary schools did not get any at all. I mean why all others but not Bintulu .
Even the RM500, 000 allocations for the Bintulu chinese schools as announced by the then Education Minister Dato Seri Hishammudin in June 2008 during his visit to Bintulu, that had not been received by the schools either.
It has come to my understanding that the Sahati block of the SRB Chung Hua No 2, steel bar are seen exposing on the under side of the verandah for all three floors. Meaning that the steel bars which are supposed to be a part of the concrete slab are actually acting as support for the concrete of the verandah and the live load. In view of the urgency of the matter and the safety of the students could I call on the government to allocate funds to rectify the problem.
Another thing is about SRB Siong Boon. I have come to understand that the documents for the transfer of the school from Sebauh to her present site is still not in place, could the Ministry enlighten the house on the matter.
While on education matter, it has come to my attention that quite a number of Form one student in a SMK in Bintulu still do not have text books for several subjects. I mean half of the year is almost gone already and the students are still going to school without text books. More over these books cannot be bought from the book shops in town these days and Photostatting cost a lot of money when there are so many of them without text books for almost all subjects. The teachers had tried hard to get books from other schools which might have extra, but even with that the problem still could not be solved. Could the Honorable Minister also enlighten this house as to why such things occur, such that thing like this do not happen again, would the ministry review the present system of text books supply for the students to solve the problem.
Mr. Speaker,
During the November sitting last year, Honorable Minister for Planning and Resource Management in replying to my query on the compensation on NCR land to Rh Chaong for the construction of the Kelalong Dam in Bintulu, the Honorable Minister said that all land acquired for it had been paid compensation in 2002, involving16 longhouses of an amount RM792,900.92
Not long after I returned from the meeting, I have received a letter from several Tuai Rumahs addressed to the Prime Minister and copied to me applying to the Prime Minister for help for payment of compensation on their NCR land acquired for the construction of the Kelalong Dam.
According to them the payment made were just on some portions of their Temuda lands while those submerged and used for the construction of the Kelalong Dam were not compensated and there are 128 families of them.
Longhouse folks cannot understand why a plot of land which after being survived by the Land & Survey Department, only portion of which is compensated while the rest of which the longhouse folks is said to have no NCR rights over it. Longhouse folks there had lost everything to the construction of the dam, their crops, farm houses and everything on their temuda land and asked that the government must pay them, for all the temuda land that is submerged and used in the construction of the dam, and not just portion of it. The fact is that the temuda land which the longhouse folks did there farming on is now gone, it is their life line and is now all submerged in water, they have no where to farm anymore and that is why the compensation must be in total.
And while we are on land in Bintulu, could the Honorable Minister tell this August house the latest status of land under Section 47 in Bintulu since the last time I brought it up in the November 2009 sitting.
And also lot 4172 and lot 4173 of the old airport land. Why were the lands not tender out for sale? I have learnt of a piece of land of 0.3 acre for high rise residence in Kuching was tendered out for sale by Land and Survey Department at a reserved price of RM6.8 million. If the land at the Bintulu old airport were to do likewise I am sure it would bring in much revenue for our state government which could than use it to do more to help our people.
Mr. Speaker,
Ever since the moving of the Bintulu Air port to its new site, the people of Bintulu had enjoy the use of the open space at the old airport and long that the whole area could be turned into a green belt area to become the lungs of Bintulu.
We all can envisage in ten twenty years time when more and more building are built, when the area is crowded with more and more concrete shops and high rise, reserving the greenery of old Bintulu Airport to become the green lung amidst the concrete jungle where pollution is serious and city life hectic, is really going to be the crown jewel of the city then.
Like many big cities in the world such places are always admired and the wisdom and farsightedness of the leaders then who decided to keep the green for the future generation is also remembered from generations to generations.
It is therefore the hope of the Bintulu people that the government would declare the Old Bintulu Airport land to be the green belt of Bintulu and further develop the place into the green lungs of Bintulu, instead of shops and more shops which can be built elsewhere. It is easier to find land to build shops than to reserve land for the green lungs of the city.
Last, but not least, I wish to congratulate the police in Bintulu for their hard work in fighting crimes in Bintulu. According to report as of the first three months this year snatch thieves in Bintulu is recorded at zero. That is good, as the police presence are more prominent these days. But I must add that efforts must be continued and put into other areas of crime also so as to reduce them to the very mininium. People will appreciate your good work. I trust that the Kuching Police Headquarter will give the Bintulu and police throughout the state their continual total support. Thanks to them too.
One last thing Mr. Speaker, it is the road linking the Nyigu Road to the Bintulu/Tatau Road, when will it be built, as it will shorten up so much the distance from the Bintulu Town to the airport and further spur the economic growth there.
And by the time our meeting ends it is so close to Gawai already and I wish all my Dayak friends, Selamat Gawai.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
N. 59基杜弄区砂劳越州立法议员周政新於砂劳越古晋立法议会参与动议感谢州元首2010年5月17日所发表御词之辩论演词
议长先生，
参与成立马来西亚47年後，又经历了几十年的发展策略，根据国内生产毛额（GDP），从1992年至2007年的成长率，我国正面对成长衰退。
根据马来西亚货品出口占世界货品出口比例1995-2007的分析，从2000年开始，我们的出口竞争力也严重下降。
今年私人界的投资也下降。我国对外国和国内投资者已是比较不具投资吸引力的地方。
我们对原产品增值的讨论花了许多口水，但我们对我们的石油、煤气、棕油、木材及橡胶的下游发展都表现不佳。我们更言及农业、水产及政府主催的生物科技、橡胶研究学院、棕油局、多媒体走廊、知识密集经济。我们也论及大幅度的旅游业、教育中心、医疗旅游、清真食品发展及其他，但我们只有零星的进展。
在社会方面的发展，知识、教育、人文发展、收入及财富分配、消除贫穷及环境持续等也表现不佳。据世界银行报告，从1995年开始，我们的知识经济指数仅列于中上收入国家之下。我们的教育水平也位于中上收入国家水平之下。我们的基尼系数评级更远离满意的级别，在2007/2008联合国发展计划人文发展报告书，我们被列为49.2，与莫三鼻，马达加斯加，哥斯达黎加，津巴布韦等国并列。
根据砂劳越年鉴，砂州的经济成长与国家经济成长同病相怜。我们的知识和教育评级勉强达到国家的级别，属于中产收入；至于我们的收入和财富分配及消除贫穷则比国家来得更差，我们成功的果实并未平均的让人民分享。
我们的基本设施和社会发展与经济成长不能齐驱并进。我们的商业及成长目的似乎占据了环境持续及社会需求或权利，而牺牲了管理。
议长先生，
我们正站在十字路口，我们并不好过。为了免于越陷越深，我们必须加把劲以自救。所缺乏的正是领导力、政府意愿及公正、公道的好价值观。尊重人和传统的权利、尊重法制、对行动和结果负责，重要的是在人民眼里这些都必须恰当和公正。
话虽如此，我认为在来年，我们可能在经济方面能做得更好一些。我们可以继续发展既有的工业，如石油、煤气及旅游业，及利用我们低成本的水力推动更广泛的工业化。但我们需要非常积极的推动我们主要产品的下游工业，并认真的发展我们的农业及水产工业。我所谓的认真是必须有科学根据及商业上的工业规范。试看台湾，他们的胡姬花种植和养鱼工业是他们许多成功工业中的两项，为台湾带来许多财富和成功。
至于我们本地的中小型企业，我们必须进一步的发展和巩固他们，在特定的分部部份必须与工业发展计划取得一致。
在需求方面，我们必须增加国内消费。在市场策略及产品发展方面需有激进的措施，产品才能满足在各角落所针对的对象，比现在增加多两倍甚至三倍的本地消费。
在社会发展，我们可以做得更好。首先必须加速人力资源及知识发展，同时在去除一些繁文缛节後，我们可以向州外取得资源。我们可以更容易的获得这些资源。
我国约有100所大学，除了生产出拥有学位的大学生外，这些学院有些可以分阶段重组，成为专科学院以迎合经济需求，既是市场现实。在台湾，我见过一些研究学院就和一些工业并存，生产出人力资本，对工业提供全面的支援和各方面的协助，从管理到研发及其他，以确保工业完全成功。
台湾的渔业研究所有5个部门及5个研究中心，策略性的分布在整个台湾以推行全面的研究，应用渔业资源，改进捕鱼技术，增产，使用生物技术及海产加工以改进水产技术。
另一项是，必须做好我们的社会发展，提供更好的保健覆盖，尤其是乡区及低收入阶层。我们也必须制造更多的就业机会给我们的人民，尤其是年轻人，以提升生产力及更高的收入水平。
我的基本设施发展必须充足，基本生活设施必须随经济的发展供应充足。我们许多的乡区，社会发展方面仍然甚为落后，没有自来水、电流供应、黄土道路、交通不便利。
议长先生，
是的，我们可以做得更好。我们必须在经济及社会发展方面多努力。正如我早前所说，我们必须有这意愿、领导及好的价值观。换句话说就是好的管理：一个有参与性、有共识、负责任、透明、能回应、有效力和效率、公平、包容性及守法的政府。
现在我要谈及我议席区内人民关心的一些课题。我吁请有关的部会对此关注。首先是Suai地区Sebatu和甘榜的自来水供应。事实是Suai河地区，乌鲁尼亚及诗巫迪这些属于格盟那和柏根奴议员的地区。
这些地区常发生干旱，平时供饮用和洗澡日用都已是难题。去年7月发生过，今年2、3月间又发生。蓄水桶内的水用尽，用以洗衣和冲凉的溪水干涸，流经油棕园的溪水又浑浊污染，溪水更被上游棕油炼油厂的排放物污染。
我们怎么忍心眼看我们乡区的兄弟姐妹在这潭死水中洗衣和冲凉。他们需拨开水面上呈青色的藻类才能取水。而这不仅仅是数天而已，这情况是持续达数星期之久。
尊敬的策划与资源管理部长曾在11月的上个会期中说，乡区食水供应大蓝图勘察研究已在近期完成并建议在第10大马计划推行及在延续的大马计划分阶段推行。
对于常面对缺水的人民而言，这是不可思议的。已经是21世纪，科技现在已很先进，我们甚至也送人上太空。我希望我刚说的地区的水供问题能获得优先处理及马上进行。
不过，目前政府是否能够怜悯和关注这些缺水的长屋和甘榜，在他们的蓄水桶干涸之前，马上为他们派出供水车。
去年，水车在他们缺水後3、4个星期才开始派出。屋长还得走到副县公署去要求，而官员可能到美里公干而耽误了，这项要求即被转到美里去，到了省公署又再转递到救灾行动中心、福利部；最后到了公共工程部，然后才到尼亚的水供站。过程中间经历了许多的耽搁和阻扰。难怪水车开动时，已过去了几星期。今年也是如此慢。
水车数量不足以应付整个地区，公共工程部只有有限的几部车而已，即使政府租借暂时的运水车也为数不多。去年，民都鲁/美里公路Sebatu地方的长屋和甘榜缺水的情况恶劣，而政府的运水车也没来，反对党的议员又没有政府的拨款，我也租赁2辆设有水箱的罗里，另外还向公共工程部和LAKU买水去派给所有缺水的长屋。10天内，我都为他们提供食水。
我不明白为何政府需要等这么久。这不是困难的工作。事实上，在缺水的时段，她可以租借更多的车辆和多走几趟，以确保乡区人民时刻有足够的水供应，尤其是她不能为乡区人民正常的供水。
另外一件令我不解的事是，为何我需要付钱买水。尤其这是为了协助长屋和甘榜的人民。如果是公共工程局运水，政府付水费和运费，但由我运送，我反而需要付费。若等政府去派水，可能永远都不会运来，只好等到下一场雨。我希望政府能让我免费打水给缺水的乡区人民。让我告诉你，雪兰莪的替阵政府是免费供水给人民的。
议长先生，
民都鲁的4间华文小学都显得拥挤。每间小学平均都约有1300名学生，而中华小学则有1700名学生。民都鲁华校生人数增加不少，越来越多被安排插入固有数目的教室，也造成课室人满为患。
因此，民都鲁明年有必要建一所新的华文小学以应付增加的学生人数。因为发展而给民都鲁带来越多的人口。
重要的是应该建更多的华小，同样的也应该训练和派能讲华语的老师到华校任教。派送不谙华语的老师到华校生是不对的，老师和学生语言不能沟通又如何能教学。
目前在民都鲁每所华小最少有5名这类的教师，我无意怪罪任何人，问题是出於没有派出对的人去做对的工作。
议长先生，
像其他学校，华小也需要经费以维修学校的建筑物，添置更多的设备及教室等。我因此呼吁政府能常年拨出充足的经费给华小以及独中。我建议这些拨款应该直接拨入学校董事部的管理帐号，而非拨给教育部。
虽然政府间或有拨一些款项给华小，但常是政党另有政治企图的手段。例如在2007年拨款1亿5千万令吉给砂劳越华小，而民都鲁6所华小却分文未得。为何仅民都鲁未获分配。
甚至在2008年6月，当时的教育部长拿督斯里希山慕丁到访，宣布给民都鲁华校50万令吉，至今仍未收到这笔款项。
我获悉中华小学第2校的Sahati座教室其全部三层的走廊底部的钢筋全裸露。意即这些钢筋和水泥应该是混成一体的，竟成了支撑走廊和其他重量的支柱。由于事态严重，为了学生的安全，政府是否能拨款改善这问题。
另一件是关于尚文小学。我也获悉从Sebuah迁校到目前新址的文件仍然没有着落，有关部会是否能在此解释此事。
谈到教育，我注意到一些在民都鲁的政府中学的初一学生，仍然缺乏几个科目的课本。已经快半年过去，学生仍无课本上课，而且这些课本又不能在市面上的书店买到。这么多科目没课本，要复印也不便宜。虽然教师们很努力的尝试到其他学校寻找多余出来的课本，即便如此，问题还是不能解决。尊敬的部长是否能在此解释为何发生这样的事。为免将来历史重演，有关部会应该检讨现行的课本供应系统以绝后患。
议长先生，
在去年11月底立法议会，尊敬的策划及资源管理部长在回答我有关在民都鲁Chaong长屋在建造Kelalong水坝，土著习俗地赔偿一事，当时尊敬的部长说，受影响的16座长屋，其被征用做为此用途的土地在2002年已获得赔偿，共79万2千9百令吉92仙。
立法会议结束后不久，我收到几位屋长写给首相求助信的副本，要求首相协助他们取得因征用他们习俗地做建造Kelalong水坝的赔偿。
据他们所说，收到的钱仅是他们部份习俗地的赔偿。至于那些淹没在水里用于建造Kelalong水坝的土地则没有赔偿。共有128户家庭申请赔偿。
长屋人民不明白为什么一块土地经过土地局测量後，只有部份获得赔偿，而其他的则说长屋居民不拥有习俗地的权益。那里的长屋人民因建水坝已经丧失所有的东西，他们的农作物、农舍及在习俗地上的一切东西都遭淹没，而不是仅有一部分。事实是，长屋人民耕作的习俗地已不见了，这是他们赖以为生的生命线，现在是沿在水底，他们再也没有耕地，因此必须是整个地赔偿。
既然谈及民都鲁的地，尊敬的部长是否能告诉我们，我在2009年11月立法会议中提起有关民都鲁受土地法典第47条影响的土地的最新状况。
以及飞机场的Lot 4172及Lot 4173。为何这些土地没有招标出售？我知道在古晋有一块0.3依甲可建多层公寓的土地，由土地局公开投标出售，保留价为6百80万令吉。如果在民都鲁机场的地也这么做，将会为州政府带来很多的收入，这将可用来帮助很多人民。
议长先生，
自从民都鲁机场迁往新址，民都鲁人民都享受旧机场这大片空旷地，也渴望这整个地方能获得保留，将这片绿色地带变成民都鲁的绿肺。
我们可以预见在未来的10到20年间，当越来越多建筑物建起来後，这地方会挤满钢筋水泥的商店和商业大楼。保留旧机场这片绿色地带成为水泥森林中的绿肺，在污染严重的繁忙都市生活，这将成为城市皇冠上的明珠。
像世界上的许多大城市，这样的地方一直是令人羡慕的，这是有远见、有智慧的领袖当时决定为将来子孙保留的绿色地带，这也使後世的人永远的纪念着他们。
所以民都鲁人民希望政府宣布民都鲁旧机场为民都鲁的绿区， 并加倍的发展成为绿肺。而不是只顾于建商店。商店可以在很多地区建的， 但要保留城市的绿肺却是不容易的。
最后，我要祝贺民都鲁警方在打击罪犯方面的努力获得的成绩。根据报告，今年首3个月，民都鲁发生盗窃案记录是零。民都鲁警察，再接再厉！但我要说的是其他方面的罪犯也必须尽力减到最低。人们会赞赏你们的付出。我相信古晋警察总部将必给予民都鲁及全州警方持续的和全力的支持。我也谢谢他们。
还有，连接尼固路到去达岛路的道路，何时将建设。因它可缩短由市区到飞机场的路程甚多及带来经济的发展。
最后，祝达雅朋友，达雅节快乐。
谢谢议长先生。
Mr. Speaker,
I rise to take part on the debate of Motion of Appreciation on Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertua Negeri’s Address which was so graciously delivered by His Excellency the Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Di-Pertua Negeri in this May House on Monday, the 17th of May, 2010.
Mr. Speaker,
Forty seven years after joining to form Malaysia and after decades of development strategies, and according to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates from 1992-2007, our country is facing decline in our economic growth.
Our export competitiveness since year 2000 is also declining seriously according to the analysis of Malaysia’s Merchandise Exports as a Percentage of World Merchandise Imports 1995-2007.
Private investments have declined in recent years while our country has become a less attractive investment destination for foreign and Malaysian investors.
We talked so much about value adding to our raw products. Yet we are not doing well with the down streams development of our oil and gas, palm oil, timber and rubber. We talked about industrialized agriculture, aquaculture and government initiatives like Bio technology, Rubber Research Institute, the Palm oil Board, MSC, Knowledge –intensive economy. And we also talked much about large scale tourism, education hub, medical tourism, halal development and others, but we only make patchy progress.
On the social aspects of our growth on knowledge, education, human development, income and wealth distribution, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability, they are not rosy either. As according to the World Bank we are just marginally below the upper middle income nations on knowledge economy index since 1995. Our education standard is also well below the upper middle income nations’ standard. And our Gini rating is far from satisfactory ranking at 49.2 in the 2007/2008 UNDP Human Development Report, close standing with countries like Mozambique, Madagascar, Costa Rica, Zimbabwe etc.
According to the Sarawak Yearbooks, our Sarawak economy grew in tandem with the nation. Our knowledge and education rating is at best equal to that of our nation’s rating, they are the middle-income group, when our income and wealth distribution and poverty eradication are significantly worst off, then our nation’s level, while the fruit of our success are not evenly distributed among the people.
Our infrastructure and social development have not kept pace with economic growth. And our commercial and growth objectives appear to dominate environmental sustainability and social needs or rights and at the neglect of good governance.
Mr. Speaker
We are at a cross road and we are not doing well. We must shift into higher gear to salvage us from getting worst. What is needed is leadership, political will and good values with a sense of equity and fairness. Respect for human and traditional rights, respect for the rule of law, accountability for actions and outcomes and most of all, all these must be seen to be proper and just in the eyes of the people.
Having said that, I believe we just might be able to do better economically in the coming years. We could continue on developing our existing industries like oil and gas and tourism and use our low-cost hydro energy to drive further industrialization but we need to push very aggressively on our downstream industries for our key commodities, and get dead serious in developing our agriculture and aquaculture industries. By getting dead serious I mean it should be science based and done commercially on an industrial scale. Just look at Taiwan their orchid farming and fisheries industries are two of the many successes industries in their country, bringing in much wealth and success for the Taiwanese.
And as for our local Small and Medium Enterprises we need to further develop and strengthen them, in specific sub sectors areas in line with the industrial development plans.
On the demand side we need to grow our domestic consumption. We need aggressive measures in our marketing strategies and products development so that the products would meet the target groups in every corner of our local economy doubling or tripling the local consumption as compare to now.
We can do better in our social development also. First of all we have to accelerate our human capital and knowledge development and we can even get resources outside of Sarawak by scrapping away some of the bureaucracy so that the resources can be made more easily available.
We have about 100 universities in our country, apart from churning out degree holders, some of these institutions could be restructured in stages, to specialize, to align to meet the needs of the economy in terms of market realities. I have seen some research institutions in Taiwan that exist side by side with the industries, turning out human capital, give full support and assistance in every aspect of the industries, from management to research and development and others, so as to ensure the full success of the industries.
The Fisheries Research Institute of Taiwan has five divisions and five research centers strategically located throughout Taiwan implementing comprehensive research on the use of fishery resources, improvements in fishing technology, enhancement of fishery stocks, advancement of aquaculture technology application of biotechnology, and processing of fishery products.
Another thing that we must also do better in our social development is to give better health coverage especially to rural areas and the lower income group. We must also create more employment opportunities to raise our productivity and higher earning levels for our people especially the young ones.
Our infrastructure development must be adequate and basic amenities sufficiently provided to be in line with the economic development. So many of our rural areas still lag so far behind in social development. No pipe water, no electricity, dirt road and poor communication system.
Mr. Speaker,
Yes, we can do better and we must do better in our economic and social development. Like I said just now we must have the will, the leadership and good values. In other words, good governance. A government that is participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive as well as abiding by the rule of law.
Mr. Speaker, I also wish to bring out some issues in my constituency which the people are concerned about and I urge that the relevant ministries to look and act on them. First of all it is the pipe water supply to the Sebatu and Kampongs of Suai area. In fact it is the Suai river area, Ulu Niah and Sebuti also, with due respect the Honourable members from Kemena and Bekenu.
These areas are so prone to drought, drinking water and water for bathing and daily use is becoming a regular problem. I mean it happened last year in July and it happened again this year in Febuary/March where water in the water tanks ran empty and the washing and bathing water, in the streams become slow, stagnant and polluted, meandering through the oil palm estate. Worst still, the water in the streams is being polluted by the blow from the oil palm mills upstream.
I mean how could we stand it when we see our rural brothers and sisters bathing and doing washing in stagnant streams where they have to push away the green algae on the water surface first before they can dish in to get the water. And that is not just for a few days; sometimes it is like that for weeks.
Honorable Minister for planning and resource management had said in our last sitting in November that a rural water supply master plan study had been completed recently and proposals for implementation will be put up in stages in Tenth Malaysia Plan and subsequent Malaysia plan.
To the folks who are often without water, that sounds really far fetching, I mean this is the 21st century already and technology is so advance now. We have even sent a man into space. I hope that the water supply problem in the areas I just mentioned and in fact throughout Sarawak, could be given top priority and could all be dealt with immediately.
But in the mean time could the government be more sensitive and attentive by sending water trucks to supply water to those longhouses and kampongs without water immediately, before their water tanks run dry.
From what I saw last year, water truck did not start moving only until three, four weeks after the folks were out of water. Tuai Rumah had to make a trip to the Sub District Office to make a request, the Officer could be out for a meeting in Miri and thus a delay, the request then went to Miri, to the Resident office and then to a Disaster Relief Committee and to the welfare office and finally to the JKR office and only then came down to the water station in Niah. In between there could be so many delays and interruptions. And it is no wonder that by the time the trucks started moving, it had been weeks already. It was the same this year, slow.
And there were not enough water trucks. JKR only got a few numbers for all the above areas. And when the government rent temporary water trunks with tanks on lorry even then there are only so few of them. Last year when the no water situation in longhouses and kampongs at Sebatu and the Bintulu/Miri road became so bad and government water trucks was not forth coming and with no annual fund allocations for us in the opposition, I had to rent two lorries with water tanks and pay some more for the water to JKR and LAKU with my own money and go myself with another party member of to delivery the water to all the affected longhouses. In 10 days we delivered water to them all.
I cannot understand why the government had to take so long. It is not a difficult job. In fact, she could rent more trucks and go more rounds during the no water period, making sure that the rural folks have water supply at all times before the water tank run dry. I mean this is the least that the government can do especially when she cannot supply the rural folks with normal water.
Another thing I cannot understand is why do I have to pay for the water when I am using it to help the longhouse and kampong folks. If JKR send the water, government pay for it plus the transportation cost, but when I send, I have to pay for it. And if I let the government send the water, it may come only when the next rain falls. I hope the government could at least let me pump the water for free, to give to the no water rural folks. Mind you the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor is supplying free water to all its people there.
Mr. Speaker,
The 4 chinese primary schools in Bintulu are getting crowded each with an average of about 1300 students, though SRB Chung Hua has 1700 pupils. And as the Chinese students population increases in Bintulu more and more of them are being put into a fixed number of classes. As a result many of the class rooms are getting over crowded.
It is therefore right that a new Chinese primary school should be built in Bintulu next year to cater for the increase in student population as a result of the development there which is bringing in more and more people to Bintulu.
While it is important that more Chinese primary schools should be built, it is equally important that more mandarin speaking teachers should be trained and be sent to the Chinese schools. It is not right to send teachers who do not understand mandarin to teach in a mandarin speaking school. I mean how can learning be done when the teacher speaks in one language and the stuedents another.
At the moment each Chinese primary school in Bintulu has at least five of these teachers, not that there is anything personal about this, but it is really about getting the right person for the right job.
Mr. Speaker,
Like all other schools, Chinese primary school needs money for school maintenance and building more facilities like class rooms and others. I therefore urge that the government to allocate sufficient funds yearly to the Chinese primary school and even the Chinese Independent School and I would like to propose also that these allocations should be bank in directly to the School Board of Management Account instead of allocating it to the Education Department.
Although government do allocate some funds from time to time, to Chinese primary schools but they have always been used by political party for their political agenda. For example like the 150 million allocations of funds to all Chinese primary school for Sarawak in 2007, Bintulu’s 6 chinese primary schools did not get any at all. I mean why all others but not Bintulu .
Even the RM500, 000 allocations for the Bintulu chinese schools as announced by the then Education Minister Dato Seri Hishammudin in June 2008 during his visit to Bintulu, that had not been received by the schools either.
It has come to my understanding that the Sahati block of the SRB Chung Hua No 2, steel bar are seen exposing on the under side of the verandah for all three floors. Meaning that the steel bars which are supposed to be a part of the concrete slab are actually acting as support for the concrete of the verandah and the live load. In view of the urgency of the matter and the safety of the students could I call on the government to allocate funds to rectify the problem.
Another thing is about SRB Siong Boon. I have come to understand that the documents for the transfer of the school from Sebauh to her present site is still not in place, could the Ministry enlighten the house on the matter.
While on education matter, it has come to my attention that quite a number of Form one student in a SMK in Bintulu still do not have text books for several subjects. I mean half of the year is almost gone already and the students are still going to school without text books. More over these books cannot be bought from the book shops in town these days and Photostatting cost a lot of money when there are so many of them without text books for almost all subjects. The teachers had tried hard to get books from other schools which might have extra, but even with that the problem still could not be solved. Could the Honorable Minister also enlighten this house as to why such things occur, such that thing like this do not happen again, would the ministry review the present system of text books supply for the students to solve the problem.
Mr. Speaker,
During the November sitting last year, Honorable Minister for Planning and Resource Management in replying to my query on the compensation on NCR land to Rh Chaong for the construction of the Kelalong Dam in Bintulu, the Honorable Minister said that all land acquired for it had been paid compensation in 2002, involving16 longhouses of an amount RM792,900.92
Not long after I returned from the meeting, I have received a letter from several Tuai Rumahs addressed to the Prime Minister and copied to me applying to the Prime Minister for help for payment of compensation on their NCR land acquired for the construction of the Kelalong Dam.
According to them the payment made were just on some portions of their Temuda lands while those submerged and used for the construction of the Kelalong Dam were not compensated and there are 128 families of them.
Longhouse folks cannot understand why a plot of land which after being survived by the Land & Survey Department, only portion of which is compensated while the rest of which the longhouse folks is said to have no NCR rights over it. Longhouse folks there had lost everything to the construction of the dam, their crops, farm houses and everything on their temuda land and asked that the government must pay them, for all the temuda land that is submerged and used in the construction of the dam, and not just portion of it. The fact is that the temuda land which the longhouse folks did there farming on is now gone, it is their life line and is now all submerged in water, they have no where to farm anymore and that is why the compensation must be in total.
And while we are on land in Bintulu, could the Honorable Minister tell this August house the latest status of land under Section 47 in Bintulu since the last time I brought it up in the November 2009 sitting.
And also lot 4172 and lot 4173 of the old airport land. Why were the lands not tender out for sale? I have learnt of a piece of land of 0.3 acre for high rise residence in Kuching was tendered out for sale by Land and Survey Department at a reserved price of RM6.8 million. If the land at the Bintulu old airport were to do likewise I am sure it would bring in much revenue for our state government which could than use it to do more to help our people.
Mr. Speaker,
Ever since the moving of the Bintulu Air port to its new site, the people of Bintulu had enjoy the use of the open space at the old airport and long that the whole area could be turned into a green belt area to become the lungs of Bintulu.
We all can envisage in ten twenty years time when more and more building are built, when the area is crowded with more and more concrete shops and high rise, reserving the greenery of old Bintulu Airport to become the green lung amidst the concrete jungle where pollution is serious and city life hectic, is really going to be the crown jewel of the city then.
Like many big cities in the world such places are always admired and the wisdom and farsightedness of the leaders then who decided to keep the green for the future generation is also remembered from generations to generations.
It is therefore the hope of the Bintulu people that the government would declare the Old Bintulu Airport land to be the green belt of Bintulu and further develop the place into the green lungs of Bintulu, instead of shops and more shops which can be built elsewhere. It is easier to find land to build shops than to reserve land for the green lungs of the city.
Last, but not least, I wish to congratulate the police in Bintulu for their hard work in fighting crimes in Bintulu. According to report as of the first three months this year snatch thieves in Bintulu is recorded at zero. That is good, as the police presence are more prominent these days. But I must add that efforts must be continued and put into other areas of crime also so as to reduce them to the very mininium. People will appreciate your good work. I trust that the Kuching Police Headquarter will give the Bintulu and police throughout the state their continual total support. Thanks to them too.
One last thing Mr. Speaker, it is the road linking the Nyigu Road to the Bintulu/Tatau Road, when will it be built, as it will shorten up so much the distance from the Bintulu Town to the airport and further spur the economic growth there.
And by the time our meeting ends it is so close to Gawai already and I wish all my Dayak friends, Selamat Gawai.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
N. 59基杜弄区砂劳越州立法议员周政新於砂劳越古晋立法议会参与动议感谢州元首2010年5月17日所发表御词之辩论演词
议长先生，
参与成立马来西亚47年後，又经历了几十年的发展策略，根据国内生产毛额（GDP），从1992年至2007年的成长率，我国正面对成长衰退。
根据马来西亚货品出口占世界货品出口比例1995-2007的分析，从2000年开始，我们的出口竞争力也严重下降。
今年私人界的投资也下降。我国对外国和国内投资者已是比较不具投资吸引力的地方。
我们对原产品增值的讨论花了许多口水，但我们对我们的石油、煤气、棕油、木材及橡胶的下游发展都表现不佳。我们更言及农业、水产及政府主催的生物科技、橡胶研究学院、棕油局、多媒体走廊、知识密集经济。我们也论及大幅度的旅游业、教育中心、医疗旅游、清真食品发展及其他，但我们只有零星的进展。
在社会方面的发展，知识、教育、人文发展、收入及财富分配、消除贫穷及环境持续等也表现不佳。据世界银行报告，从1995年开始，我们的知识经济指数仅列于中上收入国家之下。我们的教育水平也位于中上收入国家水平之下。我们的基尼系数评级更远离满意的级别，在2007/2008联合国发展计划人文发展报告书，我们被列为49.2，与莫三鼻，马达加斯加，哥斯达黎加，津巴布韦等国并列。
根据砂劳越年鉴，砂州的经济成长与国家经济成长同病相怜。我们的知识和教育评级勉强达到国家的级别，属于中产收入；至于我们的收入和财富分配及消除贫穷则比国家来得更差，我们成功的果实并未平均的让人民分享。
我们的基本设施和社会发展与经济成长不能齐驱并进。我们的商业及成长目的似乎占据了环境持续及社会需求或权利，而牺牲了管理。
议长先生，
我们正站在十字路口，我们并不好过。为了免于越陷越深，我们必须加把劲以自救。所缺乏的正是领导力、政府意愿及公正、公道的好价值观。尊重人和传统的权利、尊重法制、对行动和结果负责，重要的是在人民眼里这些都必须恰当和公正。
话虽如此，我认为在来年，我们可能在经济方面能做得更好一些。我们可以继续发展既有的工业，如石油、煤气及旅游业，及利用我们低成本的水力推动更广泛的工业化。但我们需要非常积极的推动我们主要产品的下游工业，并认真的发展我们的农业及水产工业。我所谓的认真是必须有科学根据及商业上的工业规范。试看台湾，他们的胡姬花种植和养鱼工业是他们许多成功工业中的两项，为台湾带来许多财富和成功。
至于我们本地的中小型企业，我们必须进一步的发展和巩固他们，在特定的分部部份必须与工业发展计划取得一致。
在需求方面，我们必须增加国内消费。在市场策略及产品发展方面需有激进的措施，产品才能满足在各角落所针对的对象，比现在增加多两倍甚至三倍的本地消费。
在社会发展，我们可以做得更好。首先必须加速人力资源及知识发展，同时在去除一些繁文缛节後，我们可以向州外取得资源。我们可以更容易的获得这些资源。
我国约有100所大学，除了生产出拥有学位的大学生外，这些学院有些可以分阶段重组，成为专科学院以迎合经济需求，既是市场现实。在台湾，我见过一些研究学院就和一些工业并存，生产出人力资本，对工业提供全面的支援和各方面的协助，从管理到研发及其他，以确保工业完全成功。
台湾的渔业研究所有5个部门及5个研究中心，策略性的分布在整个台湾以推行全面的研究，应用渔业资源，改进捕鱼技术，增产，使用生物技术及海产加工以改进水产技术。
另一项是，必须做好我们的社会发展，提供更好的保健覆盖，尤其是乡区及低收入阶层。我们也必须制造更多的就业机会给我们的人民，尤其是年轻人，以提升生产力及更高的收入水平。
我的基本设施发展必须充足，基本生活设施必须随经济的发展供应充足。我们许多的乡区，社会发展方面仍然甚为落后，没有自来水、电流供应、黄土道路、交通不便利。
议长先生，
是的，我们可以做得更好。我们必须在经济及社会发展方面多努力。正如我早前所说，我们必须有这意愿、领导及好的价值观。换句话说就是好的管理：一个有参与性、有共识、负责任、透明、能回应、有效力和效率、公平、包容性及守法的政府。
现在我要谈及我议席区内人民关心的一些课题。我吁请有关的部会对此关注。首先是Suai地区Sebatu和甘榜的自来水供应。事实是Suai河地区，乌鲁尼亚及诗巫迪这些属于格盟那和柏根奴议员的地区。
这些地区常发生干旱，平时供饮用和洗澡日用都已是难题。去年7月发生过，今年2、3月间又发生。蓄水桶内的水用尽，用以洗衣和冲凉的溪水干涸，流经油棕园的溪水又浑浊污染，溪水更被上游棕油炼油厂的排放物污染。
我们怎么忍心眼看我们乡区的兄弟姐妹在这潭死水中洗衣和冲凉。他们需拨开水面上呈青色的藻类才能取水。而这不仅仅是数天而已，这情况是持续达数星期之久。
尊敬的策划与资源管理部长曾在11月的上个会期中说，乡区食水供应大蓝图勘察研究已在近期完成并建议在第10大马计划推行及在延续的大马计划分阶段推行。
对于常面对缺水的人民而言，这是不可思议的。已经是21世纪，科技现在已很先进，我们甚至也送人上太空。我希望我刚说的地区的水供问题能获得优先处理及马上进行。
不过，目前政府是否能够怜悯和关注这些缺水的长屋和甘榜，在他们的蓄水桶干涸之前，马上为他们派出供水车。
去年，水车在他们缺水後3、4个星期才开始派出。屋长还得走到副县公署去要求，而官员可能到美里公干而耽误了，这项要求即被转到美里去，到了省公署又再转递到救灾行动中心、福利部；最后到了公共工程部，然后才到尼亚的水供站。过程中间经历了许多的耽搁和阻扰。难怪水车开动时，已过去了几星期。今年也是如此慢。
水车数量不足以应付整个地区，公共工程部只有有限的几部车而已，即使政府租借暂时的运水车也为数不多。去年，民都鲁/美里公路Sebatu地方的长屋和甘榜缺水的情况恶劣，而政府的运水车也没来，反对党的议员又没有政府的拨款，我也租赁2辆设有水箱的罗里，另外还向公共工程部和LAKU买水去派给所有缺水的长屋。10天内，我都为他们提供食水。
我不明白为何政府需要等这么久。这不是困难的工作。事实上，在缺水的时段，她可以租借更多的车辆和多走几趟，以确保乡区人民时刻有足够的水供应，尤其是她不能为乡区人民正常的供水。
另外一件令我不解的事是，为何我需要付钱买水。尤其这是为了协助长屋和甘榜的人民。如果是公共工程局运水，政府付水费和运费，但由我运送，我反而需要付费。若等政府去派水，可能永远都不会运来，只好等到下一场雨。我希望政府能让我免费打水给缺水的乡区人民。让我告诉你，雪兰莪的替阵政府是免费供水给人民的。
议长先生，
民都鲁的4间华文小学都显得拥挤。每间小学平均都约有1300名学生，而中华小学则有1700名学生。民都鲁华校生人数增加不少，越来越多被安排插入固有数目的教室，也造成课室人满为患。
因此，民都鲁明年有必要建一所新的华文小学以应付增加的学生人数。因为发展而给民都鲁带来越多的人口。
重要的是应该建更多的华小，同样的也应该训练和派能讲华语的老师到华校任教。派送不谙华语的老师到华校生是不对的，老师和学生语言不能沟通又如何能教学。
目前在民都鲁每所华小最少有5名这类的教师，我无意怪罪任何人，问题是出於没有派出对的人去做对的工作。
议长先生，
像其他学校，华小也需要经费以维修学校的建筑物，添置更多的设备及教室等。我因此呼吁政府能常年拨出充足的经费给华小以及独中。我建议这些拨款应该直接拨入学校董事部的管理帐号，而非拨给教育部。
虽然政府间或有拨一些款项给华小，但常是政党另有政治企图的手段。例如在2007年拨款1亿5千万令吉给砂劳越华小，而民都鲁6所华小却分文未得。为何仅民都鲁未获分配。
甚至在2008年6月，当时的教育部长拿督斯里希山慕丁到访，宣布给民都鲁华校50万令吉，至今仍未收到这笔款项。
我获悉中华小学第2校的Sahati座教室其全部三层的走廊底部的钢筋全裸露。意即这些钢筋和水泥应该是混成一体的，竟成了支撑走廊和其他重量的支柱。由于事态严重，为了学生的安全，政府是否能拨款改善这问题。
另一件是关于尚文小学。我也获悉从Sebuah迁校到目前新址的文件仍然没有着落，有关部会是否能在此解释此事。
谈到教育，我注意到一些在民都鲁的政府中学的初一学生，仍然缺乏几个科目的课本。已经快半年过去，学生仍无课本上课，而且这些课本又不能在市面上的书店买到。这么多科目没课本，要复印也不便宜。虽然教师们很努力的尝试到其他学校寻找多余出来的课本，即便如此，问题还是不能解决。尊敬的部长是否能在此解释为何发生这样的事。为免将来历史重演，有关部会应该检讨现行的课本供应系统以绝后患。
议长先生，
在去年11月底立法议会，尊敬的策划及资源管理部长在回答我有关在民都鲁Chaong长屋在建造Kelalong水坝，土著习俗地赔偿一事，当时尊敬的部长说，受影响的16座长屋，其被征用做为此用途的土地在2002年已获得赔偿，共79万2千9百令吉92仙。
立法会议结束后不久，我收到几位屋长写给首相求助信的副本，要求首相协助他们取得因征用他们习俗地做建造Kelalong水坝的赔偿。
据他们所说，收到的钱仅是他们部份习俗地的赔偿。至于那些淹没在水里用于建造Kelalong水坝的土地则没有赔偿。共有128户家庭申请赔偿。
长屋人民不明白为什么一块土地经过土地局测量後，只有部份获得赔偿，而其他的则说长屋居民不拥有习俗地的权益。那里的长屋人民因建水坝已经丧失所有的东西，他们的农作物、农舍及在习俗地上的一切东西都遭淹没，而不是仅有一部分。事实是，长屋人民耕作的习俗地已不见了，这是他们赖以为生的生命线，现在是沿在水底，他们再也没有耕地，因此必须是整个地赔偿。
既然谈及民都鲁的地，尊敬的部长是否能告诉我们，我在2009年11月立法会议中提起有关民都鲁受土地法典第47条影响的土地的最新状况。
以及飞机场的Lot 4172及Lot 4173。为何这些土地没有招标出售？我知道在古晋有一块0.3依甲可建多层公寓的土地，由土地局公开投标出售，保留价为6百80万令吉。如果在民都鲁机场的地也这么做，将会为州政府带来很多的收入，这将可用来帮助很多人民。
议长先生，
自从民都鲁机场迁往新址，民都鲁人民都享受旧机场这大片空旷地，也渴望这整个地方能获得保留，将这片绿色地带变成民都鲁的绿肺。
我们可以预见在未来的10到20年间，当越来越多建筑物建起来後，这地方会挤满钢筋水泥的商店和商业大楼。保留旧机场这片绿色地带成为水泥森林中的绿肺，在污染严重的繁忙都市生活，这将成为城市皇冠上的明珠。
像世界上的许多大城市，这样的地方一直是令人羡慕的，这是有远见、有智慧的领袖当时决定为将来子孙保留的绿色地带，这也使後世的人永远的纪念着他们。
所以民都鲁人民希望政府宣布民都鲁旧机场为民都鲁的绿区， 并加倍的发展成为绿肺。而不是只顾于建商店。商店可以在很多地区建的， 但要保留城市的绿肺却是不容易的。
最后，我要祝贺民都鲁警方在打击罪犯方面的努力获得的成绩。根据报告，今年首3个月，民都鲁发生盗窃案记录是零。民都鲁警察，再接再厉！但我要说的是其他方面的罪犯也必须尽力减到最低。人们会赞赏你们的付出。我相信古晋警察总部将必给予民都鲁及全州警方持续的和全力的支持。我也谢谢他们。
还有，连接尼固路到去达岛路的道路，何时将建设。因它可缩短由市区到飞机场的路程甚多及带来经济的发展。
最后，祝达雅朋友，达雅节快乐。
谢谢议长先生。
