YB See should vie for a parliamentary seat, not state seat - says Karim

January 26, 2015

KUCHING: Assistant Minister of Housing and Asajaya assemblyman Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How should understand that he is an assemblyman – not a Member of Parliament.

“Surely he (See) cannot compare the number of sittings between an assemblyman and a parliamentarian,” he said, adding that it was common for most parliaments to sit many times a year, even in Malaysia.

“If YB See is so hardworking and want to sit that many times a year, he should vie for a parliamentary seat, rather than a state one.”

Karim was commenting on the remark by See that Sarawak assemblymen do not assume as much responsibilities as their UK counterparts.

Meanwhile Deputy State Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Roland Sagah said in order for the august House to sit for longer duration, there had to be ‘business’ to be deliberated.

“There is no point to have a sitting when there is nothing to talk about,” Sagah told The Borneo Post here yesterday.

See, who is state PKR vice chairman, pointed out in his weekly column in thesundaypost that the biggest difference between Sarawak DUN and the UK Parliament was that the former would sit for 16 days a year, while the UK one would convene the whole year round.

DYNAMIC LINE-UP: Abang Johari perceives the Saberkas new line-up for the 2013-2016 term as representative of a young and dynamic team of professionals. Also seen is Saberkas secretary-general Datuk Aidan (right).

KUCHING: Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg retained his post as president of Sarawak National Youth Organisation (Saberkas) which also saw the election of a new deputy-president and three new vice-presidents.

State Legislative Assembly (DUN) deputy speaker Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn who was formerly a vice-president took up the role as deputy-president to replace Dato Sri Douglas Uggah Embas.

The Betong MP decided not to seek re-election due to his commitment in Putrajaya as Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities. Abang Johari mentioned that Uggah will continue to help with the development of Saberkas as the latter has planned to set up a palm oil seedling project which will involve the association.

The three newly elected vice-presidents are Youth Development Assistant Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Assistant Minister of Public Utilities Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi and Samariang assemblywoman Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali who is the first woman elected as a vice-president of Saberkas.

The trio replaced former International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Jacob Dungau Sagan, Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office Datuk Naroden Majais, Jason Tai Hee and Sagah. Assistant Sports Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin was re-elected as vice-president.

Saberkas secretary-general Datuk Aidan Wing and deputy secretary-general Dato Paul Teo Choo Tee also retained their respective posts. The new committee, to serve for the 2013-2016 term, also saw the election of 25 new ordinary exco-members which included Engkilili assemblyman Johnical Rayong Ngipa.

“I hope that Saberkas would be able to continue playing its role to help the government and youths in the state mainstream development up to the year 2030.

Karim saman Chong?

November 17, 2011

KUCHING: Abdul Karim Rah­man Hamzah (BN-Asajaya) tidak teragak-agak untuk mengambil tindakan mahkamah sekiranya Chong Chieng Jen (DAP-Kota Sentosa) terus melemparkan tuduhan tidak berasas kepadan­ya.

Beliau menjelaskan, tanah mi­liknya yang berdekatan dengan ta­pak membangunkan sesuatu projek di kawasan Siol Kandis, Petra Jaya itu terletak di luar kawasan yang termaktub dalam Seksyen 47.

“Tanah itu terkecuali daripada Seksyen 47 kerana posisinya me­mang tidak terletak dalam kawasan yang termaktub, bukannya atas kedudukan saya (dalam kera­jaan).

“Saya tidak tahu bagaimana be­liau (Chong) sampaikan perkara itu kepada orang lain, tetapi sekiranya beliau keterlaluan, saya rasa saya perlu mengambil tindakan undang-undang mengenai perkara ini,” katanya ketika ditemui pemberita selepas Persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri, di sini, semalam.

Abdul Karim memberitahu, beliau juga tidak pernah menge­luarkan sebarang arahan agar tanahnya dikecualikan daripada Seksyen 47.

Katanya, keluarganya juga memiliki beberapa bidang tanah di kawasan tersebut yang sudah di­gunakan kerajaan untuk membina jalan dan diberi pampasan.

Terdahulu, suasana Persidangan DUN sesi petang semalam sedikit kecoh apabila Chong memperso­alkan mengapa sebahagian kecil dari kawasan tanah yang dipercayai untuk dibangunkan bagi membina Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Siol Kandis, Petra Jaya dikecua­likan.

Substantiate allegation of traitors in PBB, PBB Youth wing told

June 27, 2011

“As far as I know, there are no traitors.” Tuan Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah

KUCHING: The Youth wing of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) should come up with evidence to support their claims of the presence of traitors within the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

The call was made on Saturday by PBB vice president Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman, who is also Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Department and Tupong assemblyman.

“We don’t want baseless accusations that can undermine the party,” he said when responding to a call made by an exco member Radin Kadri Radin Budiman on all component parties of the state Barisan Nasional to be wary of the presence of traitors in their midst.

Radin made the call last Friday when commenting on a speech made by Tarat assemblyman Roland Sagah in the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) last Thursday that Sarawak would lose its autonomy if the traitors’ secret agenda were realised.

Radin even urged PBB to carry out its internal investigation to ensure that the party does not have any dubious character as its member.

“Whether these persons who collaborate with foreigners are from the opposition or PBB, the leadership has to investigate because only after they are identified can we know whether they are PBB leaders or corporate personalities, and know the full extent of their conspiracies,” said Radin.

Meanwhile, the chief political secretary to the chief minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, who is also Asajaya assemblyman, denied there were traitors in PBB.
