Adenan’s first 100 days in office has convinced the people he is the right person to take over the helm of the state

KUCHING: The commitment of Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem to stave off religious and racial extremists, strong stance on Sarawak’s position in the nation, call for oil and gas 20 per cent royalty for the state and reaching out to the opposition in his first 100 days has won him a resounding endorsement from the people.

A survey carried out by thesundaypost showed that the new chief minister has won the approval of the people and leaders in his first 100 days in office.

Minister of Works Datuk Fadillah Yusof says Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem has proven that he is the right man to take over from Tun Pehin Sri Taib Mahmud as chief minister.

Fadillah added that Adenan had lived up to the expectations of the people in his first 100 days.

“I’m very thankful that the people in the state have been giving great response to the chief minister’s first 100 days in office,” he said yesterday after officiating at the Datuk Fadillah Sepak Takraw competition at The Hills shopping complex.

Even though the award was given to me, the honour is meant for the entire party,” he told journalists after receiving his award during an investiture at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Complex in Petra Jaya here yesterday.

Karim express concern over health issue in SCORE

Fellow BN assemblymen Karim Hamzah ... shared the same concern.

SCORE on track to be a success story

BINTULU: Since the launch in 2008, the progress of the mammoth Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (Score) has been phenomenal.

Located in the state’s central region and stretching 320km along the coast from Tanjung Manis in Mukah to Samalaju in Bintulu, and extending into the hinterland, Score is fast emerging as the investment heaven especially through the Samalaju Industrial Park (SIP).

Located 62 km or 40 minutes drive from Bintulu town, the SIP covers a total of 8,000 hectares of land with half the area snapped up by foreign investors mainly from the energy intensive and heavy industries.

Within a span of four year SIP, which is part of Score and expected to be the key player for Score’s growth, recorded a total investment of RM29.10 billion and created 15,000 jobs for Sarawakians.

The bulk of the investment came from five companies and their big investment reflects the growing confidence on Score’s future.

The five companies are Tokuyama Ltd of Japan, which produces polycrystalline silicon, Asia Mineral Ltd of Hong Kong (silicon manganese), OM Holdings Ltd of Singapore (fero manganese) and Press Metal Bhd of Malaysia (aluminum ingots and billets) and Asia Advanced Material of Korea (metallic silicon).

Karim appointed as assistant minister

KUCHING: Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has announced his full Cabinet line-up, keeping all the existing ministers in their respective portfolios in a concerted effort to improve and accelerate service delivery in the state.

All the existing assistant ministers are not affected in the reshuffle as they have also been retained in their respective portfolios.

The reshuffle yesterday, done five months after the state Barisan Nasional was returned to power, saw seven new assistant ministers appointed to fill up posts made vacant after the state election in April.

Announcing the changes, which come into effect tomorrow, in his office at Wisma Bapa Malaysia yesterday, Taib said he had also decided to promote three ministers, namely PRS president Tan Sri Dr James Masing, SPDP president Tan Sri William Mawan and SUPP deputy secretary general Datuk Sri Wong Soon Koh to the rank of Senior Minister.

However, in as far as their respective ministries are concer- ned, Masing is still designated as Land Development Minister; Mawan, because his ministry has been renamed, is Social Develop- ment Minister, while Wong is Second Finance Minister as well as Local Government and Com- munity Development Minister, another ministry which has been renamed.

Taib said the role of the Senior Ministers was to cordinate and supervise the changes set to take place in the various ministries.

He said he had decided to keep all the experienced ministers in their respective portfolios because he wanted them to continue supervising the machinery of the government under their ministries as well as the new assistant ministers.

Assemblymen call for more studies on inland fishes

May 3, 2003

KUCHING - Three State Assemblymen yesterday called for solutions that would enable sustainable breeding of precious but drastically dwindling inland fishes, namely Empurau and Terubok.

Lee Kim Shin (BN - Senadin) suggested that studies and research to be carried out to enable simulated breeding of Empurau fish, which could be only be found in the upper reaches of the Rajang River near Kapit.

The rare but delicious fish, which commands a high market price of RM180 per kilo, has experienced a decline in its population due to overfishing.

"Continued indiscriminate overfishing may eventually lead to extintion (of Empurau fish). Research should be carried out on the possibility of having simulated habitat for Empurau fish hatcheries," he said, when debating the new state Inland Fisheries Bill 2003.

Based on initial studies, Empurau fish can only breed in fast flowing streams, notably the Pelagus rapids.

Meanwhile, during the same debate session, Abdul Karim Hamzah (BN - Asajaya) suggested that the government gazette the lower reaches of Batang Lupar and Batang Lassa as fisheries sanctuary for the breeding of Terubok fish.

"This is due to the suitable water properties and planktons in these two rivers," he said, adding that there was a real need for these two spawning grounds to be protected for the long term survival of Terubok in Sarawak.
