Sibu Malay Conman 2009-2010

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: A full federal minister from Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) was wondering why the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak didnt keep his words.

After Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak told him in mid 2009 that there would not be direct negotiation for any project, he never thought that his boss could easily forget what he had told him.

He got to know that the Sibu Malay conman had been awarded projects totaling RM400 million from the federal government via direct negotiation after the Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong made queried with him about one or two weeks after the Sibu parliament by-election.

'Kambing Hitam' dalam PBB harus undur

by Thun Diwan

SIBU: Selama 23 tahun menjadi Wakil Rakyat sejak kemenangan pertama pada pilihan raya negeri 1987, jangankan mendapat gelaran darjah kebesaran 'Datuk' ataupun 'Dato'',  jawatan menteri muda pun seumpama bak kata pepatah 'jauh panggang dari api'.

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) yang seangkatan, ada yang telah mendapat gelaran kebesaran itu dan dihargai dengan perlantikan sebagai menteri, namum ada yang dinafikan dan disisih jauh.

Antara yang bernasib baik ialah Datuk Wahab Aziz, Datuk Bolhassan Haji Di, Datuk Wan Wahab Wan Sanusi, Datuk Wahab Haji Dolah dan Datuk Hamden Haji Ahmad.

(Nov 05, 2010)

INFRASTRUCTURE Development and Communication Minister Dato Sri Michael Manyin yesterday explained that a number of approved road projects in Tarat constituency could not be implemented due to lack of government funds.

Replying to Roland Sagah Wee Inn (BN-Tarat) at the DUN sitting, Manyin said that the Rayang/Munggu Kopi/Tanah Puteh/Sebemban road in Serian was in fact approved in the Eighth Malaysia Plan (MP) valued at RM20 million then.

“However, no allocation was provided under the 9MP and our ministry, through the State Planning Unit, has submitted the project to be included in the 10MP.

DUN Sitting (Day Three): RM1.4 bln road to make Kapit accessible in 5 years

(Nov 03, 2010)

IN five years’ time, Kapit would be connected to the whole of Sarawak by land with the soon to be built RM1.4 billion Sangan (Tatau)-Sg Anap road.

Stretching 136 kilometres, the Sangan-Sg Anap route would connect with the Nanga Mulukun-Kapit road when completed.

With Tatau already easily reached to Bintulu by land, this project would ensure that the whole state could easily drive to Kapit via Tatau, Bintulu.

Infrastructure Development and Communication Minister Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong told the press at the State Legislative Complex yesterday, that the road would be a R3 Public Works Department-standard road and the proposed project has been approved by the state.

“However, tender for the first phase project will be closed by Nov 18. Hopefully, the winning bid (contractor) can start the job immediately and I also hoped that this approved road would be completed within five years time,” he added.

Manyin, who is also the Tebedu assemblyman, stressed that the project was under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (Score) project and not under the 10th Malaysia Plan.

(Nov 02, 2010) 

YB Abu Seman Jahwie:-
(a) Berapakah jumlah penumpang yang dikendali oleh Lapangan Terbang Mukah sejak pembangunan SCORE dilancarkan?

(b) Adakah perancangan oleh pihak syarikat MASwings untuk menambah bilangan penerbangan antara Kuching/Mukah/Kuching memandangkan tempat duduk penumpang kini selalu penuh dan sukat untuk mendapat tempat duduk?

Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong:-

Saya ingin memaklumkan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Jemoreng bahawa:

(a) Sejak pembangunan SCORE dilancarkan pada Feb 2008 hingga bulan September 2010, jumlah penumpang yang dikendalikan oleh Lapangan Terbang Mukah ialah seramai 88,547. Jumlah penerbangan komersial ialah 6,304 dan jumlah penerbangan General Aviation (bukan komersial) ialah 1,122.

Pada masa ini, pihak MASwings telah melaksanakan 20 penerbangan seminggu untuk laluan Kuching-Mukah-Kuching daripada 21 penerbangan yang diluluskan Kementerian Pengangkutan Malaysia.

(b) Pihak MASwings telah bercadang menggunakan pesawat ATR72-500 yang mempunyai kapasiti 68 tempat duduk bagi laluan Kuching-Mukah-Kuching tetapi belum dapat dilaksanakan. Ini kerana Lapangan Terbang Mukah yang sedia ada tidak dapat menampung saiz pesawat tersebut.

Oleh yang demikian, pesawat yang lebih besar hanya boleh beroperasi apabila Lapangan Terbang Mukah yang baru siap nanti.
