Current housing ordinance to be updated

March 19, 2013

A committee headed by Assistant Housing Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah will work together with the Land and Survey Department, the state Attorney General Chamber and his ministry to study and propose for the restructuring of the housing ordinance.

KUCHING: The government will be looking at amending the current housing ordinance in its efforts to update current regulations to suit current needs.

Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the current changing lifestyle of the people requires several amendments to be made.

Amendments will also aim at ridding loopholes, he added.

“A fine example on the issue is in regards to gated community. There is no specific rule and detail that can be looked at as basis for reference.

“For example, whether the roads within the housing are private or public ones,” said Abang Johari.

He added that his ministry has studied several examples of gated community especially the ones in Brisbane, Australia. He believed these will be a good basis for new regulations on gated community.

“Another rising issue is over commercial building with high-rise apartments. We know of three such examples at the moment, and they affect licensing.

Abdul Karim: I’m not moving away from Asajaya

March 21, 2011, Monday

KUCHING: Chief political secretary to the Chief Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has rubbished any suggestions that he would move away from Asajaya in the coming state election.

He said he was still comfortable at Asajaya and had no intention to stand in another seat unless instructed by Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) and Barisan Nasional (BN) top leadership.

“At the moment, I am still comfortable at Asajaya. If re-nominated in the state election, hopefully I will stay at ‘kawasan lama’ (referring to Asajaya),” he told reporters after the Sarawak Cup Paintball Tournament 2011 yesterday.

Rumours had it that Karim, also a PBB supreme council member, would be nominated to stand in either Demak Laut or Sadong Jaya where incumbents Datuk Dr Abang Rauf Abang Zen and Datuk Wan Wahab Wan Sanusi had publicly announced their decisions not to seek re-election.

Karim first stood in Asajaya in 2001. In the 2006 state election, he defeated Mosidi Sait of PKR by 5,063-vote majority.

It is speculated that PKR would field Arip Ameran, a syariah lawyer, to take on Karim this time.

On a related matter, Karim hoped Sarawakians would use their wise judgment during the election. “Dissolution of DUN (State Legislative Assembly) is tomorrow (Monday). Insya Allah, the election will be in April.”
