ASAJAYA: Menteri Muda Belia dan Sukan Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata Kerajaan Negeri akan sentiasa memberi penekanan keatas pembangunan insan kerana ianya akan secara langsung atau tidak langsung akan memberi kesan positif keatas aspek-aspek lain yang berkaitan.

Beliau menegaskan apa jua usaha untuk mengubah minda masyarakat kearah kebaikkan tidak akan tercapai sekiranya individu-individu yang terbabit tidak memberi respon yang positif keatas usaha tersebut.

"Perubahan dan perancangan untuk membangunkan insan dan juga komuniti perlu dijalankan berterusan.

"Mungkin tidak titik noktah untuk perancangan bagi pembangunan seperti ini," kata beliau ketika berucap di majlis pelancaran Program Pemerkasaan Keluarga dan Komuniti (FACE) Fasa 2 di Komplek Sukan Asajaya petang tadi.

Abdul Karim kemudiannya menambah: "Sekiranya kita hendak memperkasakan keluarga dan juga komuniti, kita memerlukan permerkasaan insan juga."

Karim: Puzzled with rumours PKR state chief running away coz of unfulfilled promises

March 22, 2013, Friday

“I find that strange but what I heard is that many ‘unfulfilled promises’ since the last state election in Ba Kelalan are among the main reason for running away." -Tuan Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah

SIBU: All areas of extra concern have been identified and remedial actions taken accordingly to further strengthen the party, said PBB secretary-general Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi.

As such, it did not matter where PKR would contest in the state, he told The Borneo Post yesterday when asked to comment on the media report that PKR would contest in two PBB areas, namely Limbang and Batang Lupar.

“We have been preparing our machinery to face them (PKR) since last state election and it does not matter where they stand,” said Dr Rundi, who is state BN secretary-general and Assistant Minister of Public Utilities (Electricity and Telecommunications).

In a press statement, state PKR chairman Baru Bian reportedly said they would contest in Saratok, Baram, Hulu Rajang besides Limbang and Batang Lupar, adding that the official announcement was made by their de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. Baru was further quoted as saying he would lead the charge in Limbang while Abang Zulkifli Abang Engkeh would stand in Batang Lupar.

PBB supreme council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, meanwhile, stated that it was PKR democratic right to contest in any parliamentary seat in Sarawak, including Limbang and Batang Lupar.

He added: “This reflected our Electoral System is working and whatever negative remark about how Election Commission conducts our election as alleged by certain opposition leaders and NGOs were just a fallacy.

“Not being arrogant, BN and PBB welcome PKR to contest in any seats, including Limbang and Batang Lupar. We know our strength and we believe the people also knew which party they could rely on.”

KUCHING: The list of potential candidates to replace Kota Samarahan MP Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Taib has been narrowed down to three from at least five previously.

The three are businessmen Hamzah Ibrahim and Ismawi Mohamad and Asajaya district officer Rubiah Wang.

Except for Rubiah, both Hamzah and Ismawi are PBB members. Hamzah, who is also formerly a PBB Youth exco, is currently Muara Tuang PBB deputy chief while Ismawi is PBB Kpg Baru, Kota Samarahan deputy youth chief.

Sources close to PBB said Hamzah and Ismawi’s names were recommended by two different groups in the party. All three are locals with Rubiah from Kampung Tanjong Parang in Kota Samarahan.

The source said the party was expected to have a tough time to pick who among the three to be the candidate.

According to the source, the party’s top leadership is keen on fielding a woman candidate but the majority of its grassroots members want a male candidate.

Previously, at least five names were mentioned to replace Sulaiman, who has informed the party he was not keen to seek a re-election.

SEBUYAU: The Housing Ministry has identified a 10ha land for a new township here.

Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the township would comprise residential and commercial areas as well as government offices and places of worship.

“The residential area will take up 8ha in which about 240 units of low-cost houses under the Rumah Mesra Rakyat scheme will be built.

“It will be implemented by the Housing Development Corporation and Syarikat Perumahan Nasional Berhad,” he told a press conference after a working visit here yesterday.

Johari said the concept would help resettle residents affected by river erosion in this small coastal town, within a well-planned new township.

He said the low-cost houses would be built first, followed by commercial buildings and government offices.

Johari added that this would be a long-term plan by the government to resettle this town.
