Sarawak proposes the following allocations for programs which are targeted at the Dayak community:
(i) The establishment of a Dayak Welfare Fund to the tune of RM50 million. This fund will be utilised for medical assistance to poor Dayaks, to rebuild homes destroyed by fire and other natural disasters, to care for abandoned Dayak senior citizens, for the supply of water tanks, pumps and pipes for longhouses and to repair dilapidated homes.
(ii) RM20 million will be allocated to the Ministry of Tourism and Heritage to preserve Dayak cultural heritage and traditions including the building of a Dayak Cultural Centre, collection and publication of oral traditions and histories, development grants for academic research into Dayak cultural practices and traditions and incentives for the publication of Dayak literature.
(iii) RM80 million will be allocated to the Ministry of Planning and Resource Management to carry out the perimeter survey, to issue land titles to these landowners and for legal assistance in legal disputes with plantation groups and other companies which may also want to stake claims to this land.
(iv) An additional allocation of RM250 million will be provided to the Ministry of Modernization of Agriculture to provide financial and technical support to the Dayak community for crop planting activities on NCR land.
(v) RM80 million is proposed to establish a SADA Entrepreneur Development Unit under the Chief Minister's Department with the expressed objective to develop the entrepreneur skills of the Dayaks in the marketing and sales of agriculture produce and retail goods.
(vi) To uplift the education level of Dayak students and to ensure Dayaks are competent in various professional and technical fields, a SADA Education Fund of RM100 million is proposed. This includes a special scholarship for Dayaks from poor families to enjoy tertiary education.
A total of RM580 million is therefore identified under these initiatives which will benefit the Dayak community.

Budget Speech DUN November 2011 Sitting (Chinese Version)
民主行动党砂劳越署理主席暨N59吉都弄区州立法议员周政新参与2011年供应（2012年）法案及有关发展开销预算案动议辩论.
议长先生，
在这庄严的议会里，过去多年我曾多次提出给吉都隆路增添第三车道的重要。这项课题在现在越形重要。每个上班日，无论是晨昏，这条路都是塞车的。过去向来是塞成半公里长的车龙，现在已经发展成一公里长了。如果这情况不马上获得改善，将後会越来越长，可能将破坏甚至瘫痪我国的经济。
吉都隆路是民都鲁两条交通要道之一，几乎是每个人每天必经之路。它是 民都鲁 及我国经济命脉。没有这条路，将没有液化天然气生产，也意味着将断了联邦主要财政收入，甚至会致使我国经济破产。没有了它，SCORE将停步不前，因为已没有其他可取代之通路，除非是走水路或空路，但这将耗费不菲，既然如此为何不干脆建第三车道。这就是我再三呼吁把吉都隆路提升至三车道甚至四车道公路的原因。
再来就是，民都鲁和丹绒吉都隆之间我们不能只依赖单一的通路，万一发生情况我们都会被困住，我相信大家都明白我说的是什么。除了吉都隆路以外，另建一条从市区到丹绒吉都隆的替代道路是重要的。有关部门能否就此事让议会知道，优先开拓和拨款建造此重要工程一事的进展。
议长先生，
刚刚我提及两条在民都鲁每天人人必经的重要道路。另一条是苏丹伊士干达路到敦胡先翁路，连接市区到民美大道六里的道路，大约有60%的住宅区都沿着这条路。我们也需要即刻给这条路添建第三车道，工程已不能再拖延，必须尽快做出一些减缓该处每天交通阻塞的措施。
还有连接所有住宅区的内部道路呢？我认为这是重要的，至少在这之间还有其他另外的通道，而不是仅有敦胡先路一条通道。有关部门是否能告诉本议会这些内部的道路网及衔接Tun Hussein 路两旁住宅区的道路情形。而且该部门能否关注修补和重铺丹绒巴都，Durin Tembaga路，Gorent花园门牌556P屋旁的一小段路。
议长先生，
在2009年5月的立法会议，我提起在民都鲁Parkcity商业中心第二期和第三期之间的双重及三重十字路口一事。这些路口都非常难于使用和让道路使用者无所适从，造成意外频频发生。道路上的白线早已褪色，而且在此附近也少有交通指示牌。
尊敬的环境及公共卫生部长曾说，建议已获批准仅待实行。但直到今天，情况仍无改变，对道路使用者造成混乱和危险依旧，工程一点也没进行！
议长先生，这路口不仅是交通部困难和混乱一事，而是交通意外的发生，意外是会要人命的。我要呼吁有关部长急速对此采取行动，以确保进行改善工程，让人安全使用这些路口，无意外发生。
在美丹再也商业中心，华利超市和蚬标汽油站前的路口也是如此。那些从长途巴士总站下来，想直往或转右到华利超市，及那些从吉都隆路欲直走或右转到新祥乐园酒家一带和从新祥乐园酒家一带要转右、转左或直走，及同样要从华利超市出来，全都集聚在蚬标油站的入口处！这种情形已存在多年，也常显眼的登在报上，可是什么行动也没有。
目前，路上没有白线，也没有交通指示牌，对道路使用者造成困扰，会否是个意外陷阱。尊敬的部长能否也马上关注此事。
议长先生，
在6月10日，大约是5个月前，我曾向公共服务热线登记了有关民都鲁吉都隆路10里的支路，从Daikin工厂到CMS工厂的路灯照明投诉，但路灯至今仍然不亮。入夜没有路灯，许多人投诉在夜里驾车是真的危险，尤其是对值夜班者。到今天，情况仍然一样，夜里漆黑一片。
在7月，我接到美里电力局职员的来电！说他在美里找不到吉都隆支路的Daikin 工厂。他当然找不着，我告诉他，这是在民都鲁而且他是否能把事项转到民都鲁。
不久后，我接到另一通电力局的来电，说是这不在他们的权限下，应该找民都鲁发展局。议长先生，许多人，一般上都不能明白复杂的权限运作方式！我们所要的仅是报告问题和问题获得解决。我吁请有关当局自己进行协调，当有问题报上来时，能急速有效的解决，真正的做到公共服务热线服务的座右铭“你的电话会有所作为”，我也如此相信！
可能正是这混淆仍然存在，今天在民都鲁仍然有许多整排的路灯不亮，就如在上述地点、飞机场路、民美公路5里处、近医院的Nyabau路、靠近吉都隆中学教师宿舍前和附近的道路，苏丹伊士干达路靠近卫理教堂地区、市区回教堂路大伯公庙一边的路和其他地区等。这些路灯入夜都整排不亮，是烧了还是其他等等。
有关部门是否也能关注这些，而不需等到热线服务投诉才采取行动，而应该主动的巡回检查和纠正问题，而非等待问题投诉。
当然，电公司人员的工作不仅仅是更换烧毁的灯泡或调整不亮的路灯，同时也需要注意何处需要路灯或增加照明。例如连接Sg. Plan徙置区地段到Sg. Plan店屋和公寓的90度弯的道路。这段300公尺长的路，是数千居住在Sg. Plan第2期到第5期排屋居民和数千居住在公寓居民的必经之路，然而这段路却全路无路灯！该处居民热切希望能马上装置路灯。有关部门能否也关注在格盟那工业区近木炭厂的一枝电灯柱，柱号码为KIE46，它是否被拉得太紧到要倒了，而其支撑的电线也已经松垮了！
议长先生，
今天，越来越多的大型卡车和拖斗车上路，这是生机勃勃的好现象，商业繁荣，人民有工作做。但随之而来的一些问题也需要解决，让各方的利益都能获得照顾。
除了超载，这是生意上载费和成本的考量，我吁请有关部会关注停泊在路傍或附近商店休息、怠工或什么的这些车辆。
这给出入商店地区的其他人造成不便，有些停的太近路口，阻挡了进出商店区驾驶人的视线，如民美公路5里处。另外，这些路肩也不能承受卡车的重量，造成路肩损坏留下坑洞。再来另一辆车，坑洞更大，在主要的路上我们都习以常见，不是吗。
在其他国家我常见，他们都为大卡车预留卡车停泊站，休息处等等。我们难道不能也设立类似特别、容易适用的地方，让他们能吃顿好饭、好好休息、工作愉快和过赚好薪水的日子吗。
尊敬的部长能否重视比事，让我们的大型卡车运输业更安全和更蓬勃。
另一项是大型载泥车和其他卡车进入住宅区。我必须感谢民都鲁发展局有要求载泥土承包商经过MLNG住宅区减速驾驶，竖立减速 道路告示牌。我吁请经营这行业者认真看待此事，我仍然见到一些回程的空车，高速驾驶过这些住宅区。
不过，自从上次会议至今，连接BARU中学到Nyigu路的情况仍然如此。
穿过Jade Garden经过Bandar Jaya花园及其他地区的大型载泥车，情况也复如此。那里的居民申诉，这些卡车车速太快。在好天气是造成尘土飞扬，雨天则因落下的泥土而污污浊不堪。住宅区的道路也被破坏了。
议长先生，越来越多车辆在同一地点停泊多年，在许多的小购物区的商店停车位，如Berjaya商业中心、Desadamai商业中心、Taman Ria 商业中心及其他等地方。有许多车辆就此被遗弃，这不仅是占据所需的停车空间，更是不卫生和碍眼。我呼吁有关部会对此采取行动。
议长先生，
自上次会议我提起民都鲁回教堂路甘榜的地，被征收做甘榜遗产计划之后，那里的人民对所得的赔偿非常不高兴，尤其是以做为公共用途所征用的地，最终落入私人拥有的商用地。
很讽刺的是，就在一石之遥处的旧飞机场处有两大槐政府地却在没有公开投标下给了私人公司。州的优质土地拨给私人公司，而甘榜人民的优质土地却征来做公共用途。
今天政府又征用另外的302.9公顷，Nyalau甘榜人民的习俗地做为Samalaju工业园及市镇之用。再次以作为公共用途之名取走甘榜人民的土地，很可能最后又落入一些私人的囊袋中。
政府是否再次如同发展民都鲁市镇一样， 以每亩地很底的赔偿，取去甘榜人民的土地，然后把地给予私人发展商建立整座市镇，今天每个商业店位卖一百万令吉？为何政府不能把原地主招揽进来，让他们成为城市发展的一份子，并且与他们共享发展带来的利润。这难道不是让甘榜人民富起来的机会吗。
再说，为何政府只取瓜拉士米拉扎人民的土地， 而不给予人民一些土地。就如申请在瓜拉的甘榜土地的那些一样。159人在2007年呈上申请，这本就是，但部长说没有记录。不仅是Samalaju工业或市镇发展需要土地，人民同样的也需要土地。
当在征收 没有地契的土地时，特别是乡区土地，政府却发出有关土地临时地契给一些公司，如乡村土地，然后要公司驱逐居住在那些土地上人民，说他们已经非法入侵土地。就如民都鲁Padan，Sg.Binyo, Sengok长屋的习俗地，那里的人民在他们的习俗地，种了4.8公顷的油棕树，土地局在2011年8月17日发函要他们空出和搬离该片土地，说该土地已分配并做为Sg. Binyo, Kawasan EID的森林种植计划之用。
马来西亚地球之友（SAM）一个独立的国际性组织，宣扬反破坏马来西亚环境及破坏我们珍贵无价的资源，其主席S.M.Mohamed Idris在2011年8月23日致给土地局的国文信说，
Pertamanya Penduduk Rumah Sengok adalah dari kaum Iban yang mempunyai hak Native Customary Rights (NCR) keatas Wilayah Sempadan Tanah Pemakai Menoa mereka secara sah. Mereka telah sekian lama mempunyai kebebasan untuk mempratikkan cara tradisi hidup mereka dalam kawasan Sg. Satai, Pandan, sebelum kedatangan Rajah Brooke dahulu. Kami difahamkan bahawa mereka mempunyai rekod dan dokumentasi sejarah yang jelas sebagai bukti untuk menyokong hak NCR mereka di kawansan pemakai menoa mereka.
为何政府继续不断的敲着这些乡区人民的门，或冲破他们的门，想方设法尝试要夺去他们的土地。人民也需要土地，甚至1958年後，他们仍然需要土地，我们必须让人民拥有土地使其能生存，建家园，耕种或种植油棕。
又例如，民都鲁Sg.Plan, Similajau路10公里处，甘榜Sg.Melaban的居民，他们也需要土地。他们从2005年至今，都在申请甘榜土地，可是今天他们却接到砂劳越纸浆工业有限公司的信，要他们空出土地。显然的有人的申请比人民的份量更重。为什么说公司而不是人民获分得土地？
又或者那些住在吉都隆民都鲁发展局pasir putih木屋区的.内地人民，以及对面路Sg.. Plan木屋区，共约500户的家庭。这些木屋区民从新民都鲁诞生就存在至今。他们申请土地，以便有栖身之所，以建立自己的家园。但到今天，政府仍然没有给他们回音，除了公司说这些土地已是他们的，人民必须离开。但要他们去哪里？
议长先生，正如政府需要土地建立城市，人民同样的也需要土地建立甘榜以建筑居屋。有一瓦栖身以养家是基本人权！难道国阵政府办不到吗？我呼吁政府即刻开放甘榜土地，以安顿居住在沿吉都隆路木屋区居民。他们毕竟是我们的弟兄和姐妹，不是吗？
除了有土地居住之外，人民也需要耕种的土地。许多勤劳的乡村人民，从他们所有的储蓄去种植油棕。他们因为申请土地无门，或者他们的申请都必将被拒绝，所以他们就在任何的空地上种植。我呼吁政府拨地给这些小农民，而不是砍倒他们辛苦种植的油棕树。
议长先生，
Assykirim商业中心，美丹再也的人民以及甘榜Assykirim和Fortune Park 花园的民众都非常担心他们地区在这雨季，即将到来的水患。这事情我在2010年5月和2011年的立法会议都提及，但到今天什么都还没有做。
尊敬的部长在上次议会说他将关切这课题，但居住在那里的居民却知道，如果明天下场大雨，他们将会再次遭水淹。这是非常严重的事情，因为生意和家庭遭到的困难和损失是巨大和不需要的，而且如果有未雨绸缪这些都是可以预防。
我呼吁有关部门分担那边做生意人和住户的担忧和呐喊，让他们免除水患的折磨和苦难。
议长先生，
Ambau Anak Uding先生的屋子离Sg. Sebemban桥大约是一百码。这个桥是，靠达岛边於民都鲁/达岛公路30公里处。他要求工务局在他家入口处的桥下安置涵洞。因为，较早时工务局拓宽他家入口路傍的沟渠时报，把他旧的涵洞移走了，并说他们过后会安置更大的涵洞，但至今还不见有任动静。拓宽工程不仅弄坏了他的桥，更在他的土地上造成土崩及道路随时会塌陷。我呼吁工务局急速采取行动，以免发生不幸事件。
谢谢。
议长先生，
在这庄严的议会里，过去多年我曾多次提出给吉都隆路增添第三车道的重要。这项课题在现在越形重要。每个上班日，无论是晨昏，这条路都是塞车的。过去向来是塞成半公里长的车龙，现在已经发展成一公里长了。如果这情况不马上获得改善，将後会越来越长，可能将破坏甚至瘫痪我国的经济。
吉都隆路是民都鲁两条交通要道之一，几乎是每个人每天必经之路。它是 民都鲁 及我国经济命脉。没有这条路，将没有液化天然气生产，也意味着将断了联邦主要财政收入，甚至会致使我国经济破产。没有了它，SCORE将停步不前，因为已没有其他可取代之通路，除非是走水路或空路，但这将耗费不菲，既然如此为何不干脆建第三车道。这就是我再三呼吁把吉都隆路提升至三车道甚至四车道公路的原因。
再来就是，民都鲁和丹绒吉都隆之间我们不能只依赖单一的通路，万一发生情况我们都会被困住，我相信大家都明白我说的是什么。除了吉都隆路以外，另建一条从市区到丹绒吉都隆的替代道路是重要的。有关部门能否就此事让议会知道，优先开拓和拨款建造此重要工程一事的进展。
议长先生，
刚刚我提及两条在民都鲁每天人人必经的重要道路。另一条是苏丹伊士干达路到敦胡先翁路，连接市区到民美大道六里的道路，大约有60%的住宅区都沿着这条路。我们也需要即刻给这条路添建第三车道，工程已不能再拖延，必须尽快做出一些减缓该处每天交通阻塞的措施。
还有连接所有住宅区的内部道路呢？我认为这是重要的，至少在这之间还有其他另外的通道，而不是仅有敦胡先路一条通道。有关部门是否能告诉本议会这些内部的道路网及衔接Tun Hussein 路两旁住宅区的道路情形。而且该部门能否关注修补和重铺丹绒巴都，Durin Tembaga路，Gorent花园门牌556P屋旁的一小段路。
议长先生，
在2009年5月的立法会议，我提起在民都鲁Parkcity商业中心第二期和第三期之间的双重及三重十字路口一事。这些路口都非常难于使用和让道路使用者无所适从，造成意外频频发生。道路上的白线早已褪色，而且在此附近也少有交通指示牌。
尊敬的环境及公共卫生部长曾说，建议已获批准仅待实行。但直到今天，情况仍无改变，对道路使用者造成混乱和危险依旧，工程一点也没进行！
议长先生，这路口不仅是交通部困难和混乱一事，而是交通意外的发生，意外是会要人命的。我要呼吁有关部长急速对此采取行动，以确保进行改善工程，让人安全使用这些路口，无意外发生。
在美丹再也商业中心，华利超市和蚬标汽油站前的路口也是如此。那些从长途巴士总站下来，想直往或转右到华利超市，及那些从吉都隆路欲直走或右转到新祥乐园酒家一带和从新祥乐园酒家一带要转右、转左或直走，及同样要从华利超市出来，全都集聚在蚬标油站的入口处！这种情形已存在多年，也常显眼的登在报上，可是什么行动也没有。
目前，路上没有白线，也没有交通指示牌，对道路使用者造成困扰，会否是个意外陷阱。尊敬的部长能否也马上关注此事。
议长先生，
在6月10日，大约是5个月前，我曾向公共服务热线登记了有关民都鲁吉都隆路10里的支路，从Daikin工厂到CMS工厂的路灯照明投诉，但路灯至今仍然不亮。入夜没有路灯，许多人投诉在夜里驾车是真的危险，尤其是对值夜班者。到今天，情况仍然一样，夜里漆黑一片。
在7月，我接到美里电力局职员的来电！说他在美里找不到吉都隆支路的Daikin 工厂。他当然找不着，我告诉他，这是在民都鲁而且他是否能把事项转到民都鲁。
不久后，我接到另一通电力局的来电，说是这不在他们的权限下，应该找民都鲁发展局。议长先生，许多人，一般上都不能明白复杂的权限运作方式！我们所要的仅是报告问题和问题获得解决。我吁请有关当局自己进行协调，当有问题报上来时，能急速有效的解决，真正的做到公共服务热线服务的座右铭“你的电话会有所作为”，我也如此相信！

有关部门是否也能关注这些，而不需等到热线服务投诉才采取行动，而应该主动的巡回检查和纠正问题，而非等待问题投诉。
当然，电公司人员的工作不仅仅是更换烧毁的灯泡或调整不亮的路灯，同时也需要注意何处需要路灯或增加照明。例如连接Sg. Plan徙置区地段到Sg. Plan店屋和公寓的90度弯的道路。这段300公尺长的路，是数千居住在Sg. Plan第2期到第5期排屋居民和数千居住在公寓居民的必经之路，然而这段路却全路无路灯！该处居民热切希望能马上装置路灯。有关部门能否也关注在格盟那工业区近木炭厂的一枝电灯柱，柱号码为KIE46，它是否被拉得太紧到要倒了，而其支撑的电线也已经松垮了！

Budget Speech DUN November 2011 Sitting (English Version)
Speech by Chiew Chin Sing, DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Member of the Sarawak State Legislative Council for N59 Kidurong on the Debate of the Supply (2012) Bill 2011 and the Motion to refer the Estimates of Development Expenditure, 2011, on 18th November 2011 in the Sarawak State Legislative Council, Kuching, Sarawak.
Mr. Speaker,
Over the past years and for several times in this August House, I have raised the issue of the importance of adding a third lane to the Kidurong Road. This issue is getting to be more important now than ever. Every working day whether it is early morning or in the evening the road is jammed packed. What used to be a half a kilometer of jam, is now a kilo meter long and if the situation is not dealt with immediately it will get longer and longer and could jeopardize or even paralyses our country’s economy.
Kidurong road is one of the two most important roads in Bintulu and almost everybody there use this road every day. It is the main artery of the economy of Bintulu if not the country’s. Without which there would be no LNG production which means cutting off the major single income artery of the Federal coffer and could even bleed bankrupt our nation’s economy in no time. Without which, SCORE will come to a stand still as there are just no better ways of getting there, unless one go by boat or helicopter, but if with all that much trouble and costs, why not just build the third lanes then. That is why I urge again and again that the Kidurong road be up graded with a third lane, or even better a fourth lane as well.
Then again, we cannot just rely on a single route travelling between Bintulu and Tg. Kidurong, just in case something happens, you know what I mean, we could all get trapped. So apart from the Kidurong road, the need for building an alternative road for one to go from town to Tg. Kidurong is vital. And could the Ministry please enlighten the House on the progress of this, the priority of the works for this alternate route and the allocation for this important works.
Mr. Speaker,
Just now I mentioned about the two most important roads in Bintulu which almost everybody uses everyday. The name of the other road is Jalan Sultan Iskandar to Tun Hussein Onn Road, connecting the town to Mile six of the Bintulu /Miri road which has about 60 percent of the housing estates along the road. We need to build a third lane to this road immediately as well, and the works must not wait any longer anymore, something has to be done quickly to alleviate the traffic jam there each day.
And how about the inter connecting inside roads, between all the housing estates in this area ? I believe this is important, so that at least there are other routes to get around, instead of using the just one main road, the Tun Hussein Road. And could the Minister enlighten the House also on the progress of these inner road networks and its connectivity within this whole housing estates area. Also could the Ministry see to the repair and tar seal the short stretch of road beside house No. 556P Taman Gorent, Jalan Durian Tembaga, Tg. Batu.Bintulu.
Mr. Speaker,
During the 2009 May sitting, I have brought up the issue of the double and triple junction situations for roads between Phase II and III of the Parkcity Commerce Square in Bintulu. The junctions are very difficult to use and confusing to road users and accidents often occur. The road lines had all faded for so long already and there are hardly any road signs around either.
The Honourable Minister of Environment and Public Health then said that a proposal had been approved and awaiting implementation. But up to this day the situation there is still the same, confusing and dangerous to road users as ever while not one bit of works has begun !
Mr. Speaker, this is not just about difficulty and confusion at the junction, it is about accidents and accidents cause lives. I wish to urge that the Minister to look into this matter quickly and to make sure that improvement works is done so that the junctions are safe to use and hopefully, accidents free.
The situation at the junction in front of Farley Super market and Shell Gas Station at Medan Jaya commercial centre is about the same also. There are those coming down from the Long Distance Bus station wishing to go straight or turn right to go to Farley Super Market, and those coming in from the Kidruong road wanting to go straight or make a right turn to the Happy Garden Restaurant area, and those coming out from the Happy Garden Restaurant area wanting to make a left or right turn or going straight, and the same for those coming out from the Farley Super market, all converging at one point, at the entrance of the Shell Gas Station. The situations had been like that for many years already and had been often high lighted in the news, yet nothing is done either.
Presently there are no road lines there nor any sign boards and it really is a big headache for road users there if not an accident trap, could the Honourable Minister look into this matter urgently also.
Mr. Speaker,
On June 10 and that is about five months ago, I have filed in a case with Talikhidmat, the Public Service Help Line about the street lightings from the Daikin factory to CMS factory, off Jalan Kidurong at the 10th KM of the Kidurong Road, Bintulu, the street lightings there are still not working. No lights at nights and many have complained that it is really dangerous driving there at nights especially for those who are on night shifts. But up to this day the situation is still the same, no lights at night.
I have in July received a call from SESCO staff in Miri! saying that he could not find Daiken Factory off the Kidurong road in Miri. Of course not, I told him that it is in Bintulu and if he could please help to re-route it there.
Not too long after that, I got another call from SESCO saying that it is not under them, it is BDA’s. Mr. Speaker, many of us, as layman cannot get into that details of the jurisdictions of works! all we want is, to report the problem and have the problem solved, and I urge that the authorities to work out among themselves so that a matter reported can be sorted out and solved quickly such that we can really live up to the motto of the Public Service Help Line, ‘Your call could make a difference’ and I believe that too !
May be it is still this confusion, that today, so many street lights by the stretch are not working in Bintulu like that at the above mentioned area, airport road, mile 5 area Bintulu/Miri road, Nyabau road near the Hospital, road in front of, besides and in the Teacher’s Quarters, near SMK Kidurong , Jalan Sultan Iskandar near the church area, Tua Pek Kong side of the Jalan Masjid in town and other areas. These are lights not working at night by the stretch not to mention those that are burnt out or what, here and there.
Could the Ministry concerned please look into this also, and there is no need to wait till a complain is brought up to Talikhmat and only then action taken, but to be proactive and to go around and check for one self and rectify the problem even before a complain is made.
Of course the job of the electrical people is not just in replacing burnt out bulbs or fixing streets lights that are not working, but also to see where streets lightings or additional streets lightings are needed, like for example the right angled road connecting the Sg. Plan Resettlement Lots to the Sg. Plan Shop House and Flat , the stretch of about 300 meters of right angled road, used by thousands of people of Sg. Plan Terrace Housing from Phase 2 to Ph 5 and the thousands living in flats but are all without street lighting at that road! It is the fervent hope of the people there that the road there be installed with street lightings immediately. And would the ministry also look into the over stressed Belian electric post at the Kemena Industrial Estate, near the charcoal factory, post no KIE 46, the stay wire is hanging loose too !
Mr. Speaker,
More and more big trucks and trailers are on the road these days and it is a good signs that things are moving, business is running and people have work. But coming along with that are some issues which need to be addressed so that the interests of all is guarded.
Apart from overloading which is always a factor of fare structure and cost for business, I urge that the Ministry concerned to look into the trucks park on road side for stops to rest, to catch a bit or whatever at wherever there are shops nearby, for them to do so.
This is causing problems for others going in and out of the shop house areas as some are parked too close to the junction at the road side blocking off the view of the drivers going in and out of the shops area, like that at mile 5, Bintulu/Miri Road. Another thing is that often these road side shoulder cannot take the weight of the trucks and as a result the shoulder get dented leaving behind big holes on the road sides. Comes another truck the holes is made even bigger. We see that along the major roads all the time don’t we.
I have seen in other countries and there were always provisions for big trucks like these, truck stops, rest areas and what not. Couldn’t we have for them also some special place like these, easy to use and functional, so that they can get good food, rest well, work happily and earn good money.
Could the Honourable Minister look into this also so that we can make our big trucks transport industry safer and even more prosperous.
Another thing is the big earth filling trucks going through the housing estates. I must thank BDA for asking the contractor to slow down while driving through these areas, including erecting road signs on the road side at MLNG residential estate. I urge that those involved to take this matter seriously, as I am still seeing those returning empty trucks zooming through the Housing estate. However the road linking the SMK Baru to the Nyigu road still remains pretty much the same, since I brought it up the last time in this Dewan.
This is also the case now, of the big earth filling trucks going through Jade Garden, en routing Taman Bandar Jaya and others, residents there all complained that the trucks are moving too fast, It is dusty on sunny days and dirty from the dropping soil on rainy days. The housing estates roads are being damaged also.
Mr. Speaker, there are more and more cars parked for years at a same spot, at many of the parking lots of shops in minor shopping areas like that at Berjaya Commercial Centre, Desadamai Commercial Centre, Taman Ria Commercial centre and others. Many of these cars had been discarded there just like that. It is not only occupying up the much needed parking space but also unhealthy and an eyesore. I urge that the Ministry to do something about this also.
Mr. Speaker,
Since the last DUN sitting after I have brought up the land at Kampong Jalan Masjid, Bintulu Town, to be acquired for a Kampung Heritage Project, the people there are most unhappy about the compensation and more still their land which is under the name of being acquired for public purpose would probably end up being used commercially in the name of some private entity.
The irony of this is, as just a stone throw away, there is the old airport state land, 2 big lots had been given to private company without open tender. State prime land given to private company while kampong peoples’ prime land taken away for public purposes.
Today the government is acquiring yet another 302.9 hectar of the NCR land of the people of Kampong Nyalau for the Samalaju Industrial Park and Township, again taking away the land of the kampong people in the name of using it for public purposes but eventually probably ending up in the name of some private entity again.
Is the government doing the same thing again like in the development of the Bintulu town, taking away the kampongs peoples’ land , with such minimal compensation and then give the land to a private developer to build a whole township, selling one million ringgit for a shop lot unit today. Why can’t the government take in the landowners themselves and let them be a part of the township development and share the profits from the development. Isn’t this the opportunity that we can make the kampong people rich also. No wonder 50 of them from Kpg Nyalau had signed a petition 16.8.2011 addressed to BDA and copy to Land & Survey and the Ministry, asking that they be excluded from the acquired land.
Then again, why does the government only take the land from the people of Kuala Similajau, why can’t she gives some land to the people there as well. Like those who applied for a kampong land at Kuala Similajau. 159 them had submitted name to apply in the year 2007, here it is, yet the Minister said he has no record ! It is not just the Samalaju industries or township that need land, people need land also.
And when there is no land title involved in land acquisition, the government simply give provisional liscense to some companies over the land, like those rural land, and then ask the company to chase the people staying on that land out, saying that they have trespassed the land. Like the NCR land of Rumah Sengok, Sg. Binyo, Pandan, Bintulu, folks there had planted 4.8 hectre of palm oil on their own NCR land, but Land and Survey had issued them a letter on 17th of August 2011asking them to vacate and leave the land as the said land had been allocated for Planted Forest Project at Kawasan EID Sg. Binyo.
President S.M. Mohamed Idris of Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) –Friends of Earth Malaysia, an independent national environmental organization which campaign against the deterioration of the Malaysian environment and the destruction of our invaluable resources, in a letter to Land and Survey on the 23 of August 2011, said that and it is in BM,
Pertamanya, Penduduk Rumah Sengok adalah dari kaum Iban yang mempunyai hak Native Customary Rights (NCR) keatas Wilayah Sempadan Tanah Pemakai Menoa mereka secara sah . Mereka telah sekian lama mempunyai kebebasan untuk mempratikkan cara tradisi hidup mereka dalam kawasan Sg. Satai, Pandan, sebelum kedatangan Rajah Brooke dahulu. Kami difahamkan bahawa mereka mempunyai rekod dan dokumentasi sejarh yang jelas sebagai bukti untuk menyokong hak NCR mereka di kawasan pemakai menoa mereka.
Why does the government have to keep on and on knocking on the doors, or breaking in the doors, of the rural people try to take away their lands one way or another. People need land also, even after 1958, they still need land and lands should be made available for them to live on, to build home and to farm or plant some palm oil.
Take for example , Folks of Kampong Sg. Melaban at KM 10 Jalan Similajau Sg Plan, Bintulu they need land also. They have applied for the kampong land since 2005 and today they receieved a letter from Sarawawk Pulp Industries Sdn. Bhd., asking them to vacate the land. Apparently someone else’s application has more weight than the peoples’. Why the company and not the people been given the land?
Or, the folks staying in shack housing at BDA Pasir Putih, and on the opposite side, Sg. Plan Shack Housing, Kidurong Road, about 500 hundred families in all. These shack housing kampongs had been there since the birth of the new Bintulu. They have applied for land lot so that they can have a roof over their heads, to build their own houses to stay in, but up to this day there is still no reply from the government, except that from the company saying that the land is theirs now and the people must leave. But where to go? They have too written a letter of appeal on the 10.8.2011 to BDA and the Ministries to help them.
Mr. Speaker, just as the government need land to build township, people need land to build kampong to build houses to live in. A roof over one’s head to raise a family is a basic human right ! Can’t the BN government do just that ? I urge that government to open up kampong land immediate to accommodate these shack housing people along the Kidurong road. They are our brothers and sisters after all, aren’t they?
Apart from land to live on, the people also need land to do some farming. Many of the industrious rural folks from whatever saving they have, want to plant palm oil, they have no channel to apply for land, or if they apply it will be rejected anyway, so they plant on what ever land that are vacant. I urge that the government allocate land for these small time farmers instead of taking action to chop down the palm oil which they have planted.
Mr. Speaker,
Folks of Medan Jaya, Assykirim commercial centres together with Kampong Assykirim and Taman Fortune Park are very concerned about flood in their areas again this rainny season. Just as I have brought the matter up in the May 2010 and 2011 Dun Sitting but up to this day still nothing had been done yet.
The Honourable Minister in the last sitting said that his ministry will look into this, folks living there know that if tomorrow a heavy rainfall come they will be flooded again. This is a very serious matter as the hardships and losses to be faced by the businesses and homes are great and unnecessary and can be prevented if something is done.
I urge the ministry to share the worries and cries of the people doing business or staying there so that they will not suffer anymore the horror of being flooded again.
Mr. Speaker,
Mr. Ambau Anak Uding whose house is just about 100 yards pass the Sg. Sebemban Bridge, going towards Tatau side, at KM 30 Jalan Bintulu/ Tatau, asked that JKR to put in the culvert under the bridge at the entrance of his house. This is because JKR had earlier widen the road side drain at the entrance and removed his old culverts, saying that they would put in some bigger ones. The widening works not only jepordise his bridge but also cause land side on his land and on the road which could cave in any time. I urge JKR to take action on this quickly before any thing bad happen.
Thank You.
Mr. Speaker,
Over the past years and for several times in this August House, I have raised the issue of the importance of adding a third lane to the Kidurong Road. This issue is getting to be more important now than ever. Every working day whether it is early morning or in the evening the road is jammed packed. What used to be a half a kilometer of jam, is now a kilo meter long and if the situation is not dealt with immediately it will get longer and longer and could jeopardize or even paralyses our country’s economy.
Kidurong road is one of the two most important roads in Bintulu and almost everybody there use this road every day. It is the main artery of the economy of Bintulu if not the country’s. Without which there would be no LNG production which means cutting off the major single income artery of the Federal coffer and could even bleed bankrupt our nation’s economy in no time. Without which, SCORE will come to a stand still as there are just no better ways of getting there, unless one go by boat or helicopter, but if with all that much trouble and costs, why not just build the third lanes then. That is why I urge again and again that the Kidurong road be up graded with a third lane, or even better a fourth lane as well.
Then again, we cannot just rely on a single route travelling between Bintulu and Tg. Kidurong, just in case something happens, you know what I mean, we could all get trapped. So apart from the Kidurong road, the need for building an alternative road for one to go from town to Tg. Kidurong is vital. And could the Ministry please enlighten the House on the progress of this, the priority of the works for this alternate route and the allocation for this important works.
Mr. Speaker,
Just now I mentioned about the two most important roads in Bintulu which almost everybody uses everyday. The name of the other road is Jalan Sultan Iskandar to Tun Hussein Onn Road, connecting the town to Mile six of the Bintulu /Miri road which has about 60 percent of the housing estates along the road. We need to build a third lane to this road immediately as well, and the works must not wait any longer anymore, something has to be done quickly to alleviate the traffic jam there each day.
And how about the inter connecting inside roads, between all the housing estates in this area ? I believe this is important, so that at least there are other routes to get around, instead of using the just one main road, the Tun Hussein Road. And could the Minister enlighten the House also on the progress of these inner road networks and its connectivity within this whole housing estates area. Also could the Ministry see to the repair and tar seal the short stretch of road beside house No. 556P Taman Gorent, Jalan Durian Tembaga, Tg. Batu.Bintulu.

Road Shoulder Pot Holes and Trailer Parking
Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch , DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 3rd Aug., 2011
State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that for the sake of the road users and in the interests and safety of the people in general the government must quickly repair the pot holes on the road before they get too big and dangerous.
Chiew was refering to numerous pot holes on the roads left not repaired both in the Bintulu town and the industrial estates.
He said that pot holes appearing on roads though is really quite a normal thing but if not taken seriously and repair done quickly they could be life threatening.
He also said that road building standards for industrial estates should not be the same as those in the housing estates. The prior should have more stringent standards and that is why the existing roads and standards in the industrial estates should be upgraded. Otherwise these roads would breakup again in no time under heavier loading creating much problems to the road users and smaller vehicles.
He also said that he had noticed that many big trailers are parked along side the road of the industrial estates along the Bintulu/Sibu road and in housing estates else where , causing damages to the road shoulders and road surfaces.
Although these trailers are supposed to be parked according to their liscence condition that is to be parked at their depos, but many are parked at the convinences of the drivers.
I call on BDA and JPJ to look into this matter, to hold dialouge for example, and to come up with win win solutions with the trailer peoples so that their parking problems could be deminished and eventually eliminated. Afterall trailer transport is a vital and important industry in the development and our economy and we should always be concerned and aware of their needs also.
Chiew Chin Sing.

Otherwise these roads would breakup again in no time under heavier loading creating much problems to the road users and smaller vehicles.
He also said that he had noticed that many big trailers are parked along side the road of the industrial estates along the Bintulu/Sibu road and in housing estates else where , causing damages to the road shoulders and road surfaces.
Although these trailers are supposed to be parked according to their liscence condition that is to be parked at their depos, but many are parked at the convinences of the drivers.
I call on BDA and JPJ to look into this matter, to hold dialouge for example, and to come up with win win solutions with the trailer peoples so that their parking problems could be deminished and eventually eliminated. Afterall trailer transport is a vital and important industry in the development and our economy and we should always be concerned and aware of their needs also.

No Chairman Appointed Yet To The Sarawak State Disaster Relief Committe
Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch , DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 3rd Aug., 2011
No Chairman Appointed Yet To The Sarawak State Disaster Relief Committe
The Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that it is shocking that the post of the chairmanship of the Sarawak State Disaster Relief Committee has up to this day not been filled and it had been like that for many months already!
I call on the Taib government to look into this matter seriouIy and quickly appoint the Chairmanship post as we cannot afford to waste anymore time on this anymore.
Chiew said that the function and responsibility of the State Disaster Relief Committee is exceedingly significant and enormous. And if there is no one in charge at the time when disaster hit, it will be the people who will suffer most.
I am disappointed that though matters of disaster draught relief was brought up in the recently concluded June State Legislature Meeting, it seemed like what had transpired was that they found out that they do not have a chairman. Yet rural folks are running out of water already.
Chiew pointed out that with the arrival of the dry seasons, rainfalls is getting less and less. Many rural folks are running out of drinking water and some may be out of water completely soon. Today they are waiting for the government to do something to help them and sent water for relief.
“ But what I read in the newspaper was that the State Assemblywoman for Meradong (DAP), The Honourable Ting Tze Fui was renting the truck to sent water in water tank to longhouses in her area herself ! What may I know is the government doing then?”
The Government talks a lot about ‘Peoples’ First’ concept, let see that it is not only heard done but seen to be done, so that whatever the government does she does it in the interest of the people.

The Bintulu Hospital CT Scan (English & Chinese Text)
Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch , DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 13th July, 2011
State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that it is most regrettable that the CT Scan at the Bintulu Divisonal Hospital is still non functional though it had been out of order for about six month already.
I really cannot believe why is it taking such a long time just to fix a problem like this. And what is the authority concerned up to anyway. The way this problem is handled is really of no help to any body but only bring more inconveniences and pain to the people.
So often life and death of a patient depends on the availability and correct information to the doctors and that is why no hospital should be without proper medical equipments , like for example a CT Scan in this case.
Yesterday I was at the hospital visiting a friend who was injured in a road accident. I understood that much time been spent by so many just to get him to the Emergency Ward of the hospital. And as he was in a coma and would need scanning to the head but was told that the CT Scan was not working. That was really shocking, hurting and totally unacceptable.
Although lately two new private medical centers had opened up in Bintulu, and the patients can take their scanning there but that is no reason for not giving priority to fixing the scanner at the hospital.
The authority concerned must remember that many of the patients who had come to the hospital for treatment are poor people who had spend money on transport, food, lodging etc etc already just to get to the hospital. They do not have the extra three to five hundred more ringgit to do scanning out side. Many had come from nearby and the rural areas. Being sick is already painful and there is no need to add on more trouble and burden to them anymore.
The government must empathize with the people, help them, be more caring and give them the best service there is and get the Bintulu Division hospital to be a well equipped hospital complete with the equipments and the personnel, doctors, specialists, nurses and others.
Bintulu had undergone more than 30 years of development but is still short of a fully equipped and fully staffed hospital. And whether the government is waiting for the so called second wave of development to finish before we can have a truly full, complete and well equipped, well staffed hospital.

吉都隆区州议员周政新对民都鲁政府医院扫描机(CT Scan)坏了半年还未处理好表示遗憾。
我简直不感相信要解决一架扫描机的问题也要花上这么久的时间。有关方面到底是怎样搞的，这样做事情只是给人民带来许多的不便与心痛，一点帮助都没有。
许多时候生命延续就取决於医生们能够得到确实的讯息，所以一些医院的医疗仪器是决对不能没有的，就如一架扫描机。
昨天我到医院去看一名交通意外的朋友，各造都花了许多时间把他送到民省大医院的急诊室。他昏迷了，需要扫描脑部，然而仅被告知，扫描机坏了。真是叫人感到失落，伤心与难以接受。
虽然说最近民都鲁省加了两间私人医院，病人也可到他们那边去做扫描，不过那也不能作为没有把事件做为优先处理的理由。
有关当局千万别忘了许许多多到医院看病的人，很多都是那么的贫穷。一动身去看病，车费，膳食等都要花费许多，那里还有三，五百槐的钱再到外面去做扫描或是其他的。他们许多都是从郊区及乡下来的。生病本来就是痛苦的了，没有必再给他人增加困扰与负担。
政府应该也体恤一下人民的感受，帮助这些人，关心他们，好好的为人民提供最佳的服务。提供一间完整的省医院，不要等下有这个，又没那个。
民都鲁省都已发展了三十多年，然而一间完整的医院也没有辩法做好。感到讽刺的是，政府是否要等到所谓的第二波发展后才能完成。

Freedom of Association is a Constituional Right (English & Chinese Text)
Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch , DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 7th July 2011.
State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that it is most unreasonable and unecessary for the Bintulu Police to arrest the 18 persons in yellow shirt while drinking tea at a coffee shop at Parkcity commerce square, Bintulu on the 9th of July.
Chiew said that what is wrong with the public pulling a few tables together in coffee shops and drinking tea and what is wrong with wearing yellow shirts ? The police ought to know that freedom of association is a right for all as enshrine in our constitution and all ought to respect that. As for what color shirt to wear, freedom of choice is also a basic right in our constitution.
The police is being over sensitive in this matter and this is indeed very disappointing. So what have been accomplished after spending so much time and energy arresting the 18 and all.
We know that the police are working under orders from the PM and the Home Minister. But the Honourable two had been busy opposing a proposal for clean election last week. I really cannot comprehend how anyone could be opposing proposal for clean election. I mean, do we really want to keep a bad election system only that they can use unfair and dirty tatics to win.
The Honorable two have been hiding behind the police using all the government machinery and resources oppressing and suppressing the Bersih people just so that they can hold on to be the government as long as they wish.
So what is so frightenting of the Bersih people afterall ? aren’t they all peace loving Malaysians working for the greater interest and love for Malaysia?
I am sure that the police is well aware of this also, just like the police in Kuching, they did not arrest any of the twelve DAP State Assemblyman taking breakfast with the supporters at coffee shop and later went around selling Rocket news and registering voters. This is because the police there understoodd and respect these basic rights and that the police must operate independently.
Therefore, I call on the Sarawak Police to cancell all summons issured with regard to the arrest and to immediate ly release all those still detained.

吉都隆区州议员周政新说，民都鲁警方于709把一批十八名身穿黄衣，在民都鲁，城市商业中心咖啡店喝茶的人士捉走是不合理且完全没有必要的。
周氏说公众人士在咖啡店拉几张桌子一起喝茶有什么错。而且穿黄衣又错在那里。警方应该很清楚，结社是我国宪法给于我国人民的基本权力，所有的人士都应该给予尊重。而且要穿什么颜色的衣服，也是人民选择的自由与权力。
我对警方在这事件过度敏感的做法感到失望，劳民伤财，可是又做到了什么？
我明白警方的工作是受首相与内正部长的指示。但是他们两位於上星期对提倡我国廉洁选举的人士一直的都在反对且给予种种的刁难。我真不明白首相与部长是怎样想的，连人民在提倡选举要廉洁, 他们也要反对。难道是要我国的选举续继的腐败下去，为了是他们能用肮脏的手段来赢的选举？
他们大力的利用了国家的资源，躲在警察的背后，欺负人民，打压民主，无非只是在于巩固他们自己做政府的地位而已。
我不明白政府对洁选人士有什么可怕的？岂不知这些都是爰国的份子，而他们所做的一切都是以和平及广大人民的利益为出发点。
我相信对于这些，警方也都是很清楚的. 就好像古晋的警察，他们对行动党十二名议员与支持者在古晋吃早餐，之后又展开了活动，也都没有抓人，他们只是一直的在观察。因为他们了解及尊重他人的权力，而且他们也知道警方是不遍担任何一方的。
因此，我呼吁砂警方取消提控所有被捕的人士并把那些还在被扣留的人士即该译放。

DECLARATION OF SARAWAK DAP LAW-MAKERS for clean free and fair elections
DECLARATION OF SARAWAK DAP LAW-MAKERS for clean free and fair elections
We believe that Malaysia must become a true democracy.
But the “first to pass the post” electoral system in the country has been tainted by and besmirched with electoral fraud and corruption in the form of rampant vote buying practiced by the Barisan Nasional. However, the Election Commission does not have enforcement and prosecutorial powers.
We believe in equal and not disproportionate representation.
But, we have clear imbalance in representation because of unfair constituency delineation, so that some state constituencies are 4 to 5 times bigger than others, and some Parliamentary constituencies are more than 10 times bigger than others. For example, in the Sarawak State Election, N.70 BaKelalan has 6958 voters compared to N.10 Pending which has 29,488 voters. The BN won 25 constituencies with voters less than 10,000 in each constituency. Compare this with 10 seats that were won by the DAP with voters exceeding 20,000 each. Because of disproportionate weightage in the votes, the BN secured 55% of the popular votes in the Sarawak State election but won 77.5% of the seats. At Parliamentary level, Putrajaya has 8840 voters, whereas Kapar has 122011 voters (13 times that of Putrajaya). In 2010 general election Pakatan Rakyat won all 5 constituencies which had more than 100,000 voters each. There are 8 constituencies with less than 20000 voters, all won by the BN. A distorted and unbalanced weightage means unfair representation.
We believe that the Government machinery should not be abused to sway election results.
But we have seen the BN Government handing out projects before and during election times in order to hoodwink voters and fish for their votes, with the Prime Minister setting the most obnoxious example of vote fishing by his “You Help Me, I Help You” utterance at Rejang Park during the eve of Sibu by-election. We have also seen the federal and state government splashing goodies just to win votes for the state BN during the Sarawak state election.
We believe that the media must be left to remain neutral and be an important bastion in upholding democracy.
But the repressive requirement to renew publication licenses annually and BN control means that the media had little choice but to resort to imbalance reporting against the Opposition during the election time. In some newspapers, there had even been a total black-out of news concerning the Pakatan Rakyat during elections.
We believe that the electoral rolls should be clean and free from phantom voters.
But despite the insistence that the electoral roll is constantly being updated, we see in the electoral rolls thousands of centurian voters, and the deceased as eligible and unimpeachable voters, giving rise to suspicion of phantom voters. We should demand that there should be linkage to the data base of the National Registration Department so that all eligible Malaysians should automatically be registered as voters. The Election Commission should use indelible ink to avoid phantom voting.
We believe that the Election Commission, Police and the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commossion must be fair and independent
But we see an Election Commission which has increasingly become the mouthpiece for the BN. It has no power to enforce election laws and is not able to ensure free and fair elections. Political parties should be allowed a longer campaign period than the present 8-10 days. The Police and the MACC must be independent.
We believe that postal votes should be transparent and allowed for all Malaysians working overseas.
But we see postal votes are issued to police and security personnel who have no connection to the State except by virtue of their temporary posting to Sarawak. We see non-Sarawakian army personnel voting to determine the destiny of the BN in Sarawak. We see eligible Malaysians working overseas being denied their voting opportunities. During every election we hear postal votes being the target of vote buying.
Against these flaws in the electoral system, we join Malaysians to demand for electoral reforms.
We believe that it is every citizen’s right to see that elections are free and fair.
We believe that the constitutional right of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression must be upheld by the Government, for a true Democracy entails a government of the people, by the people, for the people. It ensures that the people are the masters of the country.
We insist that all legitimate demands for electoral reforms must be taken cognizance of and not brushed aside as fanciful tricks to topple the Government.
We abhor the thought that the electoral system as practised now is perfect and beyond reproach.
We implore on the Government to cherish the goodwill of 62 NGOs which had demanded for electoral reforms through peaceful means. We believe such demand is for the betterment of the country.
It is the sacrosanct duty of all Malaysians to ensure that the country prosper and not sink to the pit. It is their bounden duty to ensure that Malaysia continues to subscribe and respect human rights.
We condemn the barrage of arbitrary arrests of electoral reform groups and political leaders and supporters in violation of their fundamental rights to freedom of association, expression, and peaceful assembly.
We call for their immediate release.
We urge the Prime Minister to pay regard to his pledge to uphold civil liberties and to pay regard for the fundamental rights of the people of Malaysia when he assumed his office as the prime minister in April 2009.
We condemn all those who pay no respect to the sanctity of the electoral process by drumming tension and orchestrating measures to sink legitimate demands for a clean free and fair election.
We appeal for restoration of public order and security. We believe that no measure can contain the civic mindedness of the Ubah generation of Malaysians to see change.
While we appeal to the electorates to rise to the occasion to express support for a just and legitimate cause and to demand for a clean, free and fair election, we also appeal to the acumen of the Government in this pivotal moment to rise to the occasion to support the call by implementing reform. There should be no procrastination, for electoral reform is vital to propel the nation forward to becoming a better and more vibrant democracy.

TYT Speech DUN June 2011 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 24th of June, 2011 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 august House on Tuesday, the 21st of June, 2011
Mr. Speaker,
I stand here today, humbled by the greater support which I obtained during the 10th Sarawak General Election from people of all races in Kidurong. I am grateful for the trust that had been bestowed, and I am mindful of my role to serve the people not just in Kidurong but all the peoples of Sarawak, from this oldest parliamentary institution in the country.
Mr. Speaker,
So many had been elected to serve in this Sarawak Legislative Council in the past 144 years of the history of our Legislative Council. We have been able to carry on, not just because of those before us , but because of the people of Sarawak who have remained faithful to the ideals of our parliamentary democracy, in our strife for freedom, justice, equality and that, all deserve a chance to pursue our full measure of happiness.
As we continue on with our journey today at the start of the second decade of the 21st century, it has become more and more important to me that the government from this oldest parliamentary institution must do better in upholding our parliamentary democracy, to help our young men and women to find job at a decent wage so that they do not have to go so far away just to make a living, helping our businesses to survive and grow, helping us to get ownership that we can have and afford or a retirement that will be dignifying- etc etc because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
Let us be reminded that the success of our economy is not just on the success of a few big companies or foreign investments, but on the depth of the reach of our prosperity, on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart- not out of charity, because that is the surest route to prosperity for all. A nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous.
Mr. Speaker,
I mentioned about helping our people to earn a living, extending opportunity to every willing heart. But unfortunately, there had been much neglect especially with our women from the rural, trying to start their own little business to find a decent living here in town.
All what many want to do is to sell some vegetables or food, so that they can earn some money at places where there are people around, in Bintulu they sell near Tamu, at the ABF housing beach, in front of the shops at MLNG Shop House near Fair Choice, Sg. Plan road side, outside the SK Kidurong , the open space in front of Sg Plan Shop Houses or even those at the Junction of the Bakun and Bintulu/Miri road and others.
These women sat for hours under the hot sun each days selling vegetables and sundries just to earn a few dollars. I cannot understand why the government cannot and had not been implementing more decent places, say, with a roof over their heads, or provide some fans for those at the Tamu, to let them do their businesses to make a living.
Life for them is already hard enough, yet they have to face the constant fear of the enforcement officers coming ,chasing and snatching away their goods with no mercy, Or not even giving a bill of goods so taken, how would you feel when the things you try to sell is being taken away like that.
There is a Chinese saying, Women holds up half of the sky. Today in so many parts of the world, evidence has mounted that helping women can be a successful poverty – fighting strategy. Women are indeed a linchpin of development strategy.
Women starting business or working, contribute to the gross national product and when they made the money they help the education of their children, a brother or a sister, or younger relatives and when they have money to spare, they save their money and boost national savings rate. In a nod to the female chromosomes, this is called, ‘The double X solution ‘ in fighting poverty.
In 2001 the World Bank produced an influential study, Engendering Development Through Gender Equality in Right, Resources, and Voice, arguing that promoting gender equality is crucial to combat global poverty. UNICEF issued a major report arguing that gender equality yields, a ‘double dividend’ by elevating not only women but also their children and communities.
Mr. Speaker,
Longhouse folks living at 38 km from the Mukah town, near the Aluminium Smelting plant, in Mukah Division are experiencing health, environment and social problems . Nothing of this sorts of things ever occur to them for all their 20 odd years of stay there.
The longhouse folks there told me that when they go into their farms to find food, it is becoming harder and harder these days, their vegetables are not growing well as compared to the past, and when they try to sell them, people do not want to buy, and so, what can they do, they eat them themselves. Their fruits trees like the coconut, mango, star fruit and others are not fruiting well also like before.
Women staying in these longhouses, complain of dizziness, uneasy breathing, frequent coughing, pain in the bones and just generally not feeling well. The rain water which they are using have a different odour to it, bathing with it makes one’s body itch and drinking it could cause diarrhea to children. At times in the morning, smelly air would come gushing into their rooms not telling what they are breathing in over the night and day as well.
Bathing and washings in the ponds also causes much itching and when scratched, red dots appear over the body. One said that when the plant first started, fish in his fish pond also died. Today, there is hardly any more fish in there.
Longhouse folks there had gone in and out of the hospital about their suffering and medical people had come visiting them also but their problems still persists, nothing happens.
Mr. Speaker,
How can this be ? I mean the people had been staying there happily for so long already, and nothing like the above mentioned, has ever happened, but, when the Aluminium smelting plant is built, all is changed. Farms produce are not growing well, folks are not feeling well, water for use is becoming a bigger problem.
Government have to do something to help these people before things get even worst and whether the problems so faced by the folks there, is actually a direct result of the gas and water emission from the smelting plant. And to what extend is fluoride being leaked into the air.
If the answer is in the positive, like I have talked many times before in this Dewan about the ill effects of the aluminium smelting plant, shouldn’t the plant then be closed down pending further investigation, because we are talking increased production in the near future, from the present 50kt of aluminium ingot per year, to eventually 115kt per year, 2 times of the capacity now. And the greater problems that it will bring to the human lives and lives of the community of people in Mukah, plus also the implications that it is going to have on the people in Nyalau and Bintulu for the proposed few other aluminium smelting plants to be built at the Samalaju Industrial Park, Similajau, Bintulu. I know the eventual capacity of one of the proposed aluminium smelter is 1.5 million tons a year. That is 30 times that of the present Mukah plant capacity. And what about the capacity of the other two ?
Mr. Speaker,
The sweet promise that the the aluminium smelting plant which started about two years ago in the Mukah Division will create good employment for the local and downstream industries there is not true. Most of the works there now are being done by people from other countries. There are no extrusion plants either.
Mr. Speaker,
Folks of Kuala Similajau who had been staying there since time immemorial, precious their way of life, the Similajau river and the sea. They precious their land , their culture and their civilization and they have wanted to stay on. Presently the river is giving them much fish and prawns and the bounty catches of fish and others from the sea. Kuala Similajua is giving them a living and had been giving them life.
They believe that development must benefit the people on the grounds also and we know that developments that harm the environment, land, water and life should not be implemented. There are so many developments projects which one can choose, let’s take the good ones. So the folks asked that the land near the bank of the Similajau river from the mouth of the river going in wards for about one thousand acres be earmarked to be Kampong Kuala Similajau.
Mr. Speaker,
In Sebatu, Suai and along the Bintulu/Miri road, many longhouses are still without pipe water supply. It is urged that, they be quickly connected with it. And I hope that this time there would be enough water trucks on standby to bring water quickly to these longhouse folks when they run low on water during the dry seasons, and this is not just for Bintulu only, but all divisions in Sarawak.
However there are some longhouses along the Bintulu/Miri road which have the pipe water supply, but the water cannot get up to their longhouses, like Rh Robert area, Rh Janting at Mile 15, 16 Bintulu/Miri road and other places also. I therefore urge that the government to look into this matter immediately to resolve the situation.
Grid electricity supply is another thing. Some Kampongs and longhouses in Sebatu and the Bintulu/Miri road areas are still not connected to it.
The Suai road, leading from the junction at coastal highway near Niah going towards the Suai Bridge at the old Bintulu/Miri road needs up grading and tarring. Let us be more caring for our rural folks also and give them a better road tar sealed and all. And let’s repair the holes on the roads, those that come off the main road, leading to the door steps of the long houses.
And what about the bridge over the Kerong stream for the Suai road, when is that going to be done. It is taking so long that even the access road at the side of the bridge is so damaged that smaller car can hardly passed at times.
Mr. Speaker,
During the May 2010 DUN meeting, I had raised concern on the extend to which beach development works at the Tg. Batu beach condominium is affecting the monsoon drain water flowing from the Assykirim area to the sea.
At the end of last year there was quite a heavy rain one time. The situation of the monsoon drain is then tested and it did not carry the water fast enough out to the sea, the water had been supposedly slowed down by the embankment at the condominium beach development. As a result serious flooding occurred at places that had never been flooded before, like the road between Farly and Sing Kong super markets, Kpg Assykirin Ph one and Fortune park housing areas.
And would the Ministry let us know what is the present status of the situation, as we would be approaching the monsoon rain again soon.
Mr. Speaker,
Big earth filling and other trucks, going through residential estates must slow down and make sure that they do not make a mess or damage the road badly. For example, folks at the MLNG Housing living along the inner 4 lane residential road, could actually feel the tremor in their houses, of the trucks passing by, not to mention of the dust and damage done to the road. The tremor had already caused hair line crack in the house at this early stage of the nearby sea filling works which could take many more years !
Similar problem is also true of the road from SMK Baru going down the hill to the Nyigu road.
The U turn after the traffic light near Sibiew Bridge, Bintulu/Tatau road, in the BBC Industrial estate, mile 5 B/M road is also damaged by the earth filling trucks, making it almost inaccessible for smaller cars. This side of the road there is often flooded, damaged and need urgent repair.
Talking about road, folks travelling between Sibu, Bintulu and Miri on the old trunk road had been very unhappy with the road situation for a long time already. Many parts of the road are not only bumpy, of patches of repair and repair, causing much damages to ones cars, especially the smaller cars. The condition of the road is also making driving unsafe on this road.
Being the only road linking the whole state and with so much money being taken by the Federal Government from our oil and gas. The people feel that it is high time that giving us back a proper road or making the road into a 4 lane highway must be given top priority by the Federal Government. They have done some many many good roads in West Malaysia already, why can’t they do one good one here.
Mr. Speaker,
Land Owners of an area of land of over 6000 sq. meter at Kampong Jalan Masjid, Bintulu are very concerned as their kampong land are going to be acquired by the Government for a Kampung Heritage Project.
They are worry because they have seen other private lands in Bintulu said to be acquired for public purposes though compensated, ended up for commercial buildings etc fetching in a lot more of the compensated price for the new owner.
It is therefore urge that whatever compensation to these land owners at Kampung Masjid, it must be reasonably and done with their interests in our heart also.
And with that Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
N. 59吉都隆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2011年6月24日所发表御词之辩论演词
议长先生，
我参与感谢州元首2011年6月21日御词的动议辩论。
议长先生，
今天，我立于此却因为第10届州大选，在吉都隆选区获得各族人民的热烈拥护而益感谦卑。我非常感激他们对我们的信任，我也时刻谨记在这个国家最古老的议会机构为人民服务的身份，不仅仅是为吉都隆人民，而是为全砂劳越的人民服务。
议长先生，
在我们的立法议会过去的144年里，有许多人曾被选中和服务于砂劳越州立法议会。我们能够继续，不仅是前人的高瞻远瞩，也因为砂劳越州的人民仍然相信我们的议会民主、有争取自由、公正、平等及其他追求幸福生活的应有机会。
在我们继续迈入21世纪的第二个十年之始，更显重要的，在这个最古老的议会机构的政府必须做得更好，帮助我们的年青男女寻找一份能赚取足以体面生活的薪酬，让他们不需离乡背井去谋生。帮助我们的生意能生存和成长，帮助我们在能力的范围内获得拥有权，和享有一个有尊严的退休。唯有如此，我们才能重建人民对政府的信任。
我们的经济繁荣不是靠几个大公司或外国投资, 而是在于繁荣的深度，在于我们能给予每一位愿意接受者的能力，而非施舍。因为这是我们最确切的成功之路。如果只优惠几个富人，一个国家不能长久繁荣。
议长先生，
我谈及帮助我们的人民谋生。给予所有愿意接受者机会，但很不幸的，却大大的忽略了尤其是乡区的妇女，她们想在市区过一个得体的生活，她们要自力更生做小生意。
她们的要求只是在民都鲁有人潮的地方卖点蔬菜或食物，如靠近市集的地方，ABF海滨住宅区，在MLNG店屋前靠近Fair Choice，Sg. Plan路傍，吉都隆小学校外，sg plan店屋外的空地，甚至是在巴贡和民美公路路口和其他地点。
这些妇女坐在烈日下数小时，售卖蔬菜和杂货，只为赚取几块钱。我不明白为何政府不能也不曾提供任何适当的地点供她们谋生，比如有片遮阳的屋顶，或者在市集地点装设风扇。
他们的生活已够艰苦，可是还要时刻担忧执法者到来驱赶他们，毫不怜悯地夺去他们的货品，且处之以罚单，即便所售物品不值几个钱。试问当所售之物被如此取去，你的感受会如何。
华语有句话说：女性可撑半边天。今天，在世界各地已证明，协助妇女是有效扑灭贫穷的策略。事实上，女性是发展政策的主轴。
女性做生意或工作，是对国家生产做出贡献。当她们有钱时，能资助子女、弟妹或年轻的亲戚受教育。犹有余钱，她们会储蓄起来。这更提升了国家的储蓄率。在向阴性染色体敬礼之际，这也称为“双X解决方案”。
2001年世界银行做了一个很有贡献的研究。“扶植发展通过性别权利、资源及发言权力平等”，议论说全球与贫穷抗争最重要的是提倡性别平等。
联合国儿童基金会发表一份重要的报告，强调性别平等产生一个“双份红利”，不仅女性获得提升，她们的子女及社群也一样。
议长先生，
在距离沐胶镇38公里处，靠近熔铝厂的长屋居民正面对健康、环境及社会问题。这些事情，在他们定居在该处20年来，从未发生。
该处长屋居民告诉我，当他们到农田里找食物时，近来已越来越困难。他们的蔬菜没有以前长的好，要卖也没人要，没法子只好自己吃。他们的果树，如椰子、芒果，杨桃等的收成也大不如前。
居住在这些长屋的妇女也投诉说，她们感到昏眩、呼吸困难、常咳嗽、骨骼疼痛，总感到不舒服。雨水有异味，用之洗浴後，身体发痒，饮用後，引起孩童腹泻。有时上午时分，带有臭味的空气直冲入屋，更不用说日夜呼吸着的空气。
在水塘洗浴或洗涤衣物会发痒，搔痒後身上现出红斑点。有个说，工厂刚运作时，水塘里的鱼也死了。今天水塘里已难见鱼踪。
长屋居民如今因其遭受，成了医院常客，医务人员也曾到长屋看个究竟，但问题仍是不获解决。
议长先生，
怎能如此？人民在那里长久以来安居乐业，也从未发生上述情形，但建立熔铝厂，一切都变了。农作物收成不好，居民感觉不好，食用水成了大问题。
在情形更恶化之前，政府必须帮助这些人, 无论问题是否与熔铝厂排放的气体或水直接有关。还有到底有多少的氯化物被排放到空气中。
如果答案是肯定的，如我过去多次在议会中提出熔铝厂的害処，是否要先关闭工厂等待调查。因为他们正准备增加产量，从现在每年的5万公吨铝块，到最终每年生产11.5公吨。双倍於现在的产量。它將带给沐胶人民更大的健康问题。这也与住在Nyalau及民都鲁人民有关，因为还有几个熔铝厂将在士米拉爪工业园设立。我知道其中有一间最终的计划是每年生产150万公吨。这是目前沐胶生产量的30倍。如果再增加两个那又会是怎样的呢？
议长先生，
两年多前在沐胶设立熔铝厂，将会给当地人制造好的就业机会及下游工业的甜美诺言是假的。今天大多数的工作都是外国人担任，本地人少之又少。
议长先生，
今天世代居住在士米拉爪河口的居民，因为珍惜他们的生活方式、士米拉爪河、海洋和他们的土地、文化及他们要继续生活下去的文明。当下，这条河流给予他们鱼虾及大海丰富的海产，士米拉爪河口赐给了他们生活和生命。
他们认为，发展必须让在当地生活的居民受益。破害环境、土地、水源和生命的发展不应该推行。有许多可供选择的发展，我们应该选好的。居民要求把从河口向内约一千公顷士米拉爪河岸的土地设立为士米拉爪河口甘榜。
议长先生，
在Sebatu, Suai及沿着民美公路，许多长屋仍然没有自来水供应。我吁请当局尽快接驳给他们。我希望这次有足够的运水车，随时准备运水救济长屋居民的燃眉之急。这不仅是在民都鲁而已，是全砂劳越州。
沿着民美公路，许多长屋有自来水供应，但水压不足不能输送到长屋内去。在15、16里民美公路的Robert地区的长屋， Janting长屋及其他地方。因此，我吁请政府关注此事，即刻解决此问题。
电流供应网是另一问题。有些在Sebatu和民美公路地区的甘榜和长屋还未接驳上电流。
从靠近尼亚海滨公路路口到旧民美公路的Suai桥，需要提升和重新舖过。我们应该更关心他们，给他们造一条舖上沥青的好路。把，並把那些延伸到长屋门口路上的坑坑洞洞填平。
Suai 路Kerong 河的桥何时才能竣工？已经太久了，就连桥边的过道也已破坏不堪，连小车子都难以通过。
在2010年5月底立法议会会议上，我曾提出在Sg. Batu海滩公寓大厦的海滩发展工程，影响Assykirim地区排水道向海里排放雨水的问题.
去年底，有一阵子雨量很大，这对此事是一个考验。结果该大沟不能迅速把雨水排送到海里去，因为海滩发展工程围墙阻缓了它。结果造成严重的泛滥，连从不淹水处，如华利和星光超市之间的道路，甘榜Assykirim第一期和幸福花园的住宅区都变成一片泽国。
有关部长是否能告知目前的情况，因为雨季就快来临？
议长先生，
大型填土车和其他卡车进入住宅区必须减缓速度慢下来，并确保不损坏道路和破坏环境。例如在MLNG住宅区内大路旁居民, 当车辆经过时在屋里能感受到震动，更别谈所引起的沙尘和对道路的破坏。震动已造成屋子出现裂缝，靠海附近的填土工程刚开始，还要许多年才能结束！
同样的问题也发生在从Baru中学到Nyigu路岭下的路。靠近民都鲁/达岛路Sibiew 桥交通灯之后的回转处，在民美公路5里BBC工业区，道路也被大卡车破坏了，小型车辆几乎不能通过。一边的道路已破环更时常淹水，急需速修补。
说及道路，使用诗巫，民都鲁及美里旧路的旅客，对路况多时以来就很不高兴。许多路段都崎岖不平，补丁一块块，对车辆造成破坏，尤其是小型车辆。路况对驾驶也十分危险。
即是唯一联系整个州的道路，而联邦政府又从石油和天然气取去这么多钱。人民认为是时候联邦政府应该优先给回一条真正的路，或者建造一条4道高速公路。在西马，他们已经建造了许许多多的道路，为什么不能在此建条好的路。
议长先生，
在民都鲁的甘榜教堂路拥有6千平方公尺大片土地的地主们非常担心，因为他们的土地将被政府征收做为甘榜传统计划之用。他们担心，因为有鉴于其他民都鲁私人土地，虽然说征收供做公共用途并获得赔偿，最后却成为商业建筑物及其他等，为新地主赚进更多的赔偿金。
在此我吁请无论给这些土地任何赔偿都必须合理，并为他们的利益着想。
即此我结束我的演讲，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 august House on Tuesday, the 21st of June, 2011
Mr. Speaker,
I stand here today, humbled by the greater support which I obtained during the 10th Sarawak General Election from people of all races in Kidurong. I am grateful for the trust that had been bestowed, and I am mindful of my role to serve the people not just in Kidurong but all the peoples of Sarawak, from this oldest parliamentary institution in the country.
Mr. Speaker,
So many had been elected to serve in this Sarawak Legislative Council in the past 144 years of the history of our Legislative Council. We have been able to carry on, not just because of those before us , but because of the people of Sarawak who have remained faithful to the ideals of our parliamentary democracy, in our strife for freedom, justice, equality and that, all deserve a chance to pursue our full measure of happiness.

Let us be reminded that the success of our economy is not just on the success of a few big companies or foreign investments, but on the depth of the reach of our prosperity, on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart- not out of charity, because that is the surest route to prosperity for all. A nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous.
Mr. Speaker,

They are worry because they have seen other private lands in Bintulu said to be acquired for public purposes though compensated, ended up for commercial buildings etc fetching in a lot more of the compensated price for the new owner.
It is therefore urge that whatever compensation to these land owners at Kampung Masjid, it must be reasonably and done with their interests in our heart also.
And with that Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
N. 59吉都隆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2011年6月24日所发表御词之辩论演词
议长先生，
我参与感谢州元首2011年6月21日御词的动议辩论。
议长先生，
今天，我立于此却因为第10届州大选，在吉都隆选区获得各族人民的热烈拥护而益感谦卑。我非常感激他们对我们的信任，我也时刻谨记在这个国家最古老的议会机构为人民服务的身份，不仅仅是为吉都隆人民，而是为全砂劳越的人民服务。
议长先生，
在我们的立法议会过去的144年里，有许多人曾被选中和服务于砂劳越州立法议会。我们能够继续，不仅是前人的高瞻远瞩，也因为砂劳越州的人民仍然相信我们的议会民主、有争取自由、公正、平等及其他追求幸福生活的应有机会。
在我们继续迈入21世纪的第二个十年之始，更显重要的，在这个最古老的议会机构的政府必须做得更好，帮助我们的年青男女寻找一份能赚取足以体面生活的薪酬，让他们不需离乡背井去谋生。帮助我们的生意能生存和成长，帮助我们在能力的范围内获得拥有权，和享有一个有尊严的退休。唯有如此，我们才能重建人民对政府的信任。
我们的经济繁荣不是靠几个大公司或外国投资, 而是在于繁荣的深度，在于我们能给予每一位愿意接受者的能力，而非施舍。因为这是我们最确切的成功之路。如果只优惠几个富人，一个国家不能长久繁荣。
议长先生，
我谈及帮助我们的人民谋生。给予所有愿意接受者机会，但很不幸的，却大大的忽略了尤其是乡区的妇女，她们想在市区过一个得体的生活，她们要自力更生做小生意。
她们的要求只是在民都鲁有人潮的地方卖点蔬菜或食物，如靠近市集的地方，ABF海滨住宅区，在MLNG店屋前靠近Fair Choice，Sg. Plan路傍，吉都隆小学校外，sg plan店屋外的空地，甚至是在巴贡和民美公路路口和其他地点。
这些妇女坐在烈日下数小时，售卖蔬菜和杂货，只为赚取几块钱。我不明白为何政府不能也不曾提供任何适当的地点供她们谋生，比如有片遮阳的屋顶，或者在市集地点装设风扇。
他们的生活已够艰苦，可是还要时刻担忧执法者到来驱赶他们，毫不怜悯地夺去他们的货品，且处之以罚单，即便所售物品不值几个钱。试问当所售之物被如此取去，你的感受会如何。
华语有句话说：女性可撑半边天。今天，在世界各地已证明，协助妇女是有效扑灭贫穷的策略。事实上，女性是发展政策的主轴。
女性做生意或工作，是对国家生产做出贡献。当她们有钱时，能资助子女、弟妹或年轻的亲戚受教育。犹有余钱，她们会储蓄起来。这更提升了国家的储蓄率。在向阴性染色体敬礼之际，这也称为“双X解决方案”。
2001年世界银行做了一个很有贡献的研究。“扶植发展通过性别权利、资源及发言权力平等”，议论说全球与贫穷抗争最重要的是提倡性别平等。
联合国儿童基金会发表一份重要的报告，强调性别平等产生一个“双份红利”，不仅女性获得提升，她们的子女及社群也一样。
议长先生，
在距离沐胶镇38公里处，靠近熔铝厂的长屋居民正面对健康、环境及社会问题。这些事情，在他们定居在该处20年来，从未发生。
该处长屋居民告诉我，当他们到农田里找食物时，近来已越来越困难。他们的蔬菜没有以前长的好，要卖也没人要，没法子只好自己吃。他们的果树，如椰子、芒果，杨桃等的收成也大不如前。
居住在这些长屋的妇女也投诉说，她们感到昏眩、呼吸困难、常咳嗽、骨骼疼痛，总感到不舒服。雨水有异味，用之洗浴後，身体发痒，饮用後，引起孩童腹泻。有时上午时分，带有臭味的空气直冲入屋，更不用说日夜呼吸着的空气。
在水塘洗浴或洗涤衣物会发痒，搔痒後身上现出红斑点。有个说，工厂刚运作时，水塘里的鱼也死了。今天水塘里已难见鱼踪。
长屋居民如今因其遭受，成了医院常客，医务人员也曾到长屋看个究竟，但问题仍是不获解决。
议长先生，
怎能如此？人民在那里长久以来安居乐业，也从未发生上述情形，但建立熔铝厂，一切都变了。农作物收成不好，居民感觉不好，食用水成了大问题。
在情形更恶化之前，政府必须帮助这些人, 无论问题是否与熔铝厂排放的气体或水直接有关。还有到底有多少的氯化物被排放到空气中。
如果答案是肯定的，如我过去多次在议会中提出熔铝厂的害処，是否要先关闭工厂等待调查。因为他们正准备增加产量，从现在每年的5万公吨铝块，到最终每年生产11.5公吨。双倍於现在的产量。它將带给沐胶人民更大的健康问题。这也与住在Nyalau及民都鲁人民有关，因为还有几个熔铝厂将在士米拉爪工业园设立。我知道其中有一间最终的计划是每年生产150万公吨。这是目前沐胶生产量的30倍。如果再增加两个那又会是怎样的呢？
议长先生，
两年多前在沐胶设立熔铝厂，将会给当地人制造好的就业机会及下游工业的甜美诺言是假的。今天大多数的工作都是外国人担任，本地人少之又少。
议长先生，
今天世代居住在士米拉爪河口的居民，因为珍惜他们的生活方式、士米拉爪河、海洋和他们的土地、文化及他们要继续生活下去的文明。当下，这条河流给予他们鱼虾及大海丰富的海产，士米拉爪河口赐给了他们生活和生命。
他们认为，发展必须让在当地生活的居民受益。破害环境、土地、水源和生命的发展不应该推行。有许多可供选择的发展，我们应该选好的。居民要求把从河口向内约一千公顷士米拉爪河岸的土地设立为士米拉爪河口甘榜。
议长先生，
在Sebatu, Suai及沿着民美公路，许多长屋仍然没有自来水供应。我吁请当局尽快接驳给他们。我希望这次有足够的运水车，随时准备运水救济长屋居民的燃眉之急。这不仅是在民都鲁而已，是全砂劳越州。
沿着民美公路，许多长屋有自来水供应，但水压不足不能输送到长屋内去。在15、16里民美公路的Robert地区的长屋， Janting长屋及其他地方。因此，我吁请政府关注此事，即刻解决此问题。
电流供应网是另一问题。有些在Sebatu和民美公路地区的甘榜和长屋还未接驳上电流。
从靠近尼亚海滨公路路口到旧民美公路的Suai桥，需要提升和重新舖过。我们应该更关心他们，给他们造一条舖上沥青的好路。把，並把那些延伸到长屋门口路上的坑坑洞洞填平。
Suai 路Kerong 河的桥何时才能竣工？已经太久了，就连桥边的过道也已破坏不堪，连小车子都难以通过。
在2010年5月底立法议会会议上，我曾提出在Sg. Batu海滩公寓大厦的海滩发展工程，影响Assykirim地区排水道向海里排放雨水的问题.
去年底，有一阵子雨量很大，这对此事是一个考验。结果该大沟不能迅速把雨水排送到海里去，因为海滩发展工程围墙阻缓了它。结果造成严重的泛滥，连从不淹水处，如华利和星光超市之间的道路，甘榜Assykirim第一期和幸福花园的住宅区都变成一片泽国。
有关部长是否能告知目前的情况，因为雨季就快来临？
议长先生，
大型填土车和其他卡车进入住宅区必须减缓速度慢下来，并确保不损坏道路和破坏环境。例如在MLNG住宅区内大路旁居民, 当车辆经过时在屋里能感受到震动，更别谈所引起的沙尘和对道路的破坏。震动已造成屋子出现裂缝，靠海附近的填土工程刚开始，还要许多年才能结束！
同样的问题也发生在从Baru中学到Nyigu路岭下的路。靠近民都鲁/达岛路Sibiew 桥交通灯之后的回转处，在民美公路5里BBC工业区，道路也被大卡车破坏了，小型车辆几乎不能通过。一边的道路已破环更时常淹水，急需速修补。
说及道路，使用诗巫，民都鲁及美里旧路的旅客，对路况多时以来就很不高兴。许多路段都崎岖不平，补丁一块块，对车辆造成破坏，尤其是小型车辆。路况对驾驶也十分危险。
即是唯一联系整个州的道路，而联邦政府又从石油和天然气取去这么多钱。人民认为是时候联邦政府应该优先给回一条真正的路，或者建造一条4道高速公路。在西马，他们已经建造了许许多多的道路，为什么不能在此建条好的路。
议长先生，
在民都鲁的甘榜教堂路拥有6千平方公尺大片土地的地主们非常担心，因为他们的土地将被政府征收做为甘榜传统计划之用。他们担心，因为有鉴于其他民都鲁私人土地，虽然说征收供做公共用途并获得赔偿，最后却成为商业建筑物及其他等，为新地主赚进更多的赔偿金。
在此我吁请无论给这些土地任何赔偿都必须合理，并为他们的利益着想。
即此我结束我的演讲，谢谢议长先生。
