Piasau rep suggests RCI on power outages in the state

Borneo Post November 22, 2013, Friday

OPPOSITION member Alan Ling (DAP-Piasau) mulled over the need for setting up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to probe the massive power outages that occurred in the state.

He opined the commission might be able to look into the issue and identify the real problems so that Sarawakians can enjoy a stable supply of electricity.

In Niah areas, he said, the power supply “is very unstable, causing grievances to consumers”, which Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) must explain.

“As we know, Batu Niah is well known as the place where the tourist destination Niah Caves is located. A stable supply of electricity is essential to maintain a decent standard of living for both residents and visitors,” he said when debating the Supply (2014) Bill, 2013 yesterday.

Citing the massive outage in June this year as an example, Ling said it was a rather unacceptable situation in Sarawak where more and more people had known it for its hydroelectric dams such as the Bakun Dam.

“The famous Bakun Dam covers a large area about the size of our neighbouring country Singapore. The minister in charge should tell us why massive blackouts occur and that sometimes shut down the whole state.

“Is it because of the electricity power grid problems in Bakun as alleged? And why is Bakun’s electricity supply still so unreliable? What about some compensation for consumers who suffered losses from the outage in June?”

Following the fast growing population in Permyjaya and Senadin, Ling called for a new fire and rescue (Bomba) station to be built to better serve the satellite townships.

He said the combined population had doubled to 200,000 compared to eight years ago.

“Besides, Permyjaya has much peat lands prone to fire breakouts in dry season that result in air pollution, causing haze to envelope Miri city every year.

“To fight peat fires, several officers from the city’s Bomba have to be temporarily stationed there to monitor the situation. Hence, it makes sense to build a proper building equipped with rescue facilities.”

He said Batu Niah was also in need of a new Bomba station, given that the current small volunteer unit of rescuers was insufficient to meet the needs.

It was reported the application to build a new Bomba station there had been approved in 2006, he said, wondering why the allocation was delayed for years.

“I was also informed the Batu Niah Bomba station would be built at Sepupok at a cost of RM12.5 million. But when will it be built? Has a tender been called for?”

PBB Vice Presidents 2013

Toyad making a come comeback?

October 15, 2013

Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud received a resounding endorsement to continue as PBB president from its 71 divisions.

KUCHING: Former tourism minister Muhd Leo Michael Toyad appears to be coming out of the political woodwork lending weight to speculations of a bigger role awaiting him.

Toyad will contest against four state assistant ministers and a former state assemblyman for one of the three vice-president posts for Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak in the party’s election tomorrow.

Toyad, a Melanau, has been on the local political observers’ checklist as a possible successor to Chief Minister Taib Mahmud.

His comeback bid appears to lend weight to these rumours. Ageing Taib is under pressure from the federal capital to relinquish his hold on the state which he has helmed since 1982.

But PBB’s spectacular performance in the May general election delivering to federal Barisan Nasional all 14 parliamentary seats it contested has further consolidated his position.

Under the current circumstances, Taib PBB is now the second biggest party in BN replacing MCA which won only seven seats.

Having said this, Taib is aware that time is not on his side. His focus post elections has been to tighten the reign on his party and ease the tensions in his Pesaka and Bumiputera wings.

The race for his seat has seen internal sabotage and private alignments forged with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.

But Taib has thus far out maneuvered attempts to pull the rug from under his feet.

Toyad’s name began circling the wings sometime last year and FMT had reported the speculated rumours. His bid to return to active politics is telling.

Taib uncontested

Toyad has Taib’s backing so his stab at the vice-presidency should bring about positive returns.

In the list announced by the PBB’s 13th Convention Election Committee chairman Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar yesterday, the other candidates in the race with Toyad are assistant ministers Daud Abdul Rahman (Chief Minister’s office), Abdul Wahab Aziz (Housing), Talip Zulpilip (Tourism); Julaihi Narawi (Industrial Development) and, Beting Maro former state assemblyman Bolhassan Di.

Mohamad Asfia said party president Taib was returned unopposed for the post after nominations closed at 5pm yesterday.

Taib received a resounding endorsement from the party’s 71 branches which wanted him to continue holding the position.
His two deputies, Alfred Jabu Numpang and Amar Abang Johari Tun
Openg, were also returned unopposed, alongside two senior vice-presidents in Awang Tengah Ali Hasan and Douglas Uggah Embas.

Two vice-presidents for the Pesaka (non-Muslim) wing – MichaelManyin Jawong and Alexander Nanta Linggi – also retained their postsuncontested.

Meanwhile, 14 candidates will contest for the 11 posts as supreme council members for the Bumiputera (Muslim) wing of the party.
Nine others posts in the supreme council reserved for the Pesaka wing were won uncontested.

Tradition of politics strongly entrenched in Jabu family

Borneo Post October 13, 2013, Sunday

KUCHING: The run-up to the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) party election next week reflects the tradition of politics which is strongly entrenched among immediate family members of its deputy president, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, who is  Deputy Chief Minister.

Equally active in politics is his wife, Dato Sri Empiang, 69, who is once again given the trust and confidence by the party grassroots to continue helming PBB’s women movement after being returned unopposed when nominations for the top posts closed yesterday.

Known for playing an active role in the transformation of the Dayak community in Sarawak into a more modern and progressive one, she is the first Iban woman to become a member of the Dewan Negara, following her appointment as senator for two terms in 2004.

Following in the couple’s footsteps is their eldest child, Gerald Rentap, 43, who also won uncontested the PBB Youth movement’s deputy president post after nominations for its top leadership closed.

Gerald, who holds a Bachelor of Economics degree from the Australian La Trobe University, is currently executive director of the Kuching-based Utahol Management Sdn Bhd.

Previously appointed as Youth secretary-general, his elevation as the new deputy

chief is about the only ‘big’ change in the movement’s hierarchy, which has shown a similar result in the PBB  Women movement.

Empiang will continue to work closely with her deputy, Datuk Fatimah Abdullah, currently state Welfare, Women and Family Development Minister, after the latter also retained her post unopposed, to lead the party’s women movement to greater heights.

Similarly, Gerald, from the Pesaka wing, will also continue PBB’s tradition of unity and solidarity by supporting party Youth chief Datuk Fadillah Yusof, 51, from the Bumiputera wing, in having retained the top post unopposed.

Fadillah is also federal Works Minister.

The status quo for the PBB top leadership is also expected to remain with Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud who is very likely to stay on as party president, Jabu as deputy president (Pesaka wing) and   Housing and Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg as deputy president (Bumiputera wing).

The five-day PBB triennial delegates convention will be held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, beginning Oct 18.— Bernama

Fadillah belum tahu kedudukannya dalam PBB

by Clare Cinderella. Utusan Borneo October 7, 2013, Monday

BERMULA: Fadillah (tengah) di iringi oleh Hamzah Ibrahim, Awang Jinal, wan Hamzah dan Yusuf Buji melakukan sepak mula bagi persembahan bola sepak ‘berkaki ayam’ sempena perlawanan bola sepak Piala Ketua Pemuda Zon Utara Sarawak di Miri semalam.

Serah kedudukan kepada pemimpin tertinggi parti pada konvensyen bulan depan 

MIRI: Ketua Pemuda Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Datuk Fadillah Yusof berkata beliau masih tidak tahu kedudukan dan nasibnya dalam parti itu menjelang Perhimpunan Agung PBB Ke-13 di Kuching pada 18 hingga 22 Oktober ini.

Ketika diminta mengulas mengenai khabar angin menyatakan bahawa beliau mungkin diserapkan dalam Majlis Tertinggi PBB, selepas dinaikkan jawatan menjadi menteri penuh, Fadillah berkata ia adalah keputusan pemimpin tertinggi parti.

“Saya tidak tahu mengenai perkara ini. Ia adalah keputusan pemimpin atasan parti,” katanya di sini semalam.

Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Fadillah yang juga Menteri Kerja Raya berkata, beliau masih tidak tahu sama ada mempertahankan jawatannya sebagai ketua pemuda atau sebaliknya.

“Saya tidak tahu. Mungkin juga saya tiada jawatan dalam parti. Seperti juga Nancy Shukri (Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri) walaupun beliau tiada jawatan dalam parti tetapi dilantik sebagai menteri penuh,” ujarnya.

Khabar angin mengenai akan adanya ketua pemuda baharu untuk PBB kelak, timbul selepas terdapat cadangan dan usul yang meminta agar Fadillah diserapkan dalam jawatankuasa induk atau Majlis Tertinggi parti, ekoran kenaikan jawatannya sebagai menteri penuh dalam kabinet pusat.

Jika usul berkenaan diterima oleh pemimpin tertinggi parti, bermakna ia akan memberi laluan kepada Pemuda PBB untuk melantik ketua pemuda yang baharu.

Terdahulu, Fadillah hadir menyaksikan perlawanan bola sepak Pemuda PBB Zon Utara Sarawak di Padang Majlis Bandaraya Miri di sini.

Sebanyak 13 pasukan mewakili Pemuda PBB daripada Zon Utara termasuk pasukan jemputan menyertai perlawanan bola sepak Piala Ketua Pemuda PBB pada 5 dan 6 Oktober ini.
