Oleh Prof. Dr. X

KUCHING: 'Sindrom yakin' dengan penilaian sendiri yang percaya tahap prestasi SUPP adalah tinggi mungkin akan menyebabkan Bandar Raya Minyak dilanda gelombang DAP pada pilihan raya negeri kelak.

DUN Sitting (Day Eight): Jabu says Community leaders to get raise 100% in allowances

(Nov 10, 2010)

SHOW OF SOLIDARITY: Jabu (second right) leaving the State Legislative Assembly after delivering his winding-up speech with (from left) Sharifah Hasidah (BN-Semariang), Andy Chia (BN-Pujut) and (right) Datuk Francis Harden (BN- Simanggang) yesterday.

THE state government will increase the allowances of penghulus, pemamcas and temenggongs after it has finalised the matter with the federal government.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang said the move was made following an announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak in his recent 2011 Budget speech that ketua kampungs and village security and development committee (JKKK) chairmen would be getting an allowance of RM800 per month effective January 2011.

The amount would be a 100 per cent increase from their current allowance of RM400 per month.

Jabu who is also the Minister of Rural Development said the new allowances would be announced once the administrative issue relating to them has been finalised by the relevant authorities.

DUN Sitting (Day Three): Protect Sarawak companies servicing oil and gas industry

(Nov 03, 2010)

THE state government must step in and demand that Petronas stop the unfair practices that benefit larger Peninsular Malaysia firms at the expense of Sarawak companies.

Andy Chia Chu Fatt (BN-Pujut) said yesterday that there have been complaints that some Petronas policies, licensing requirements and conditions kept changing, placing Sarawak companies at a disadvantage.

“Licensing renewal delays have often caused the local companies to miss important term contract tenders,” he said.

It was reported that the contract work and supply services were eventually subcontracted by these Peninsular Malaysia companies who have no presence in Sarawak to local companies at a lower price, Chia added.

He urged the state government to set up a professionally-run agency that will act as a facilitator and advisory body for the local industry.
