LACK OF TEACHERS IN CHINESE SJK

LACK OF TEACHERS IN CHINESE SJK

Sabah sabahdaily   8:48 AM

THE issue on the lack of teachers in the Chinese government aided primary schools in Sabah was brought up by the Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament Dr. Hiew King Cheu recently in Parliament. He asked the Minister of Education (KPM) Dato’ Muhyiddin Yassin on the reason why there is not enough teachers in these schools and the problem persisted for such a long time.

The minister in his written reply said this is widely due to the selected trainees for the teacher training course does not accept the terms of the training program and its contract, or stop half way. For example in 2009, there is 797 applicants rejected the offer and only 8,185 person being registered for the training.

This is because some of them have been given higher paid jobs else way and some joined JPA, MARA, Petronas or other private agencies. For those who terminated their training, are in breach of the agreement and contract and do not wish to serve under the KPM.

Under the program “Excellent Student Program”, from the 140 people sent oversea to study in 2003, only 73 persons managed to complete the training in 2009 and serve with KPM. Also the subjects offered for the trainee teachers were often not accepted and supported by the trainees who are selected and qualified to undertake such subjects.

As for the people who are not in the teaching profession and in their 40’s and wish to become a teacher, they are not qualified to be selected to be trained as a teacher. This is because there is an age limit of not more then 40. The ministry is at the moment considering a new ruling to allow them to be trained as a teacher.

KPM is looking seriously on the shortage of teachers in the government aided Chinese primary schools which includes the teacher appointment on various grades, posting and exchange, and creating new positions. In the case of further lack of the teachers, the department will have to agree to allow on the engagement of untrained temporary teachers, “Guru Sandaran Tidak Terlatih (GSTT)” to fill up the shortages and vacancies.

In connection to the complaints towards the Principal in the SK Cina in Luyang, he said the Ministry has conducted investigation, and through the Education Department in Sabah (JPN), the said Principal is carrying out her duty as stipulated by the department accordingly and following the procedures and rules of the department.

She is merely trying to put right the administration system of the school according to the system and power given to her. KPM found that the issue of transferring her is not necessary at the moment. She should be given time and a chance and room to put right what ever is lacking, the slackness, and on all further improvement in the school.

The reply from the ministry shows that they have certain problem to deal with the lack of teachers, and the issue is not being given full attention. This can be seen from the trainees refused to accept the terms and condition of the contract, on why they left training half way to go for higher pay with better condition of work, and why many trainees under scholarship did not complete their training.

The ministry should review and consider new measures to make the teaching profession more attractive and with high rewards. An improved teaching profession guidelines and system should be immediately drawn up to secure the teachers to stay on to educate our future generations.

Sabah sabahdaily   10:33 PM

THE Sabah DAP Tanjong Aru Branch chairman Dr. Felix Chong attended a mobile service set up by the Member of Kota Kinabalu Dr. Hiew King Cheu at the Lido market last Sunday on the 11th April, to provide free medical check up and advisory service to the people there.

The Vice chairman of Sabah DAP Edward Ewol Mujie and other party members were also present to listen to the various complaints brought up by the people in the Lido market.

Dr. Felix Chong was warmly welcomed by the people and they wished that the Sabah DAP team of doctors can take time to regularly visit them more often. Dr. Felix is an experienced doctor who had served in many hospitals like Beluran, Pitas, and Kota Kinabalu, and now is running his own clinic in town.

He feels happy to assist these people who needed help, and it is possible through strong political will together to bring about the change of government and a better Sabah in Malaysia.

Dr. Felix also commented that there is much to do with the tidying up and upgrading of the hospital facilities in Kota Kinabalu. The lacking in the facilities like the equipments, wards and beds, ambulances, medical personnel, specialist doctors, medicines and car parks must be attended to immediately by the Health Ministry.

The sick may not have the time to wait for these to happen and ready. There are already many sad cases of lives lost due to insufficient hospital facilities. Why the vital facilities in Kota Kinabalu have been neglected, he charged? -Sabahkini

STATE OWNED PRIVATE HOSPITAL SCRAPED?

STATE OWNED PRIVATE HOSPITAL SCRAPED?

Sabah sabahdaily   10:28 PM

THE announcement by the Sabah State Government that the Old Khidmat Building in Karamunsing is to be converted to house a state owned private hospital with allocation of RM 100 million which was included in the state budget tabled in the state Assembly last year.

The said project is expected to be completed in six months, and will provide the people in Sabah to have another private hospital for the sick. The Federal Ministry of Health commented that they have no objection to the setting up of the State owned private hospital.

Very unfortunately, after so many months we still don’t see any sign of the private hospital starting work, while there are rumors that the project had been scrapped.

Sabah DAP Medical & Advisory Bureau Chief Dr. Felix Chong said may be the Chief Minister Datuk Musa Hji. Aman can explain to the people whether the rumors are true and also to explain on the reason if the program is truly scrapped.

If it is scrapped, how much money already spent on the preparation of the project or paid to the consultants, architects, and the specialist hospital consultant? The Government should not keep silent on the issue, because this is state matter and the money spent are tax-payers’ money.

If the project is still ongoing, the CM should enlighten the people of Sabah on its progress and whether the final approval on its license to operate a private hospital has been granted by the Federal Ministry of Health.

Dr. Chong asked it the case of scrapping of the project is true, why the government has to plan and approved a scheme that can’t even start off, and this also reflects the incapability of the government to give the people the good health care facilities both in the Federal and State level.

The health care facilities in Kota Kinabalu is bad, why can’t the government give us a permanent solution that can bring about proper and advance health care. Everything is lacking in the government hospital, and we heard announcement one after another, and there is no immediate action.

The hospital services in Kota Kinabalu is spread out into three main hospitals and a polyclinic, this gives much confusion and trouble as far as the patients, doctors and nurses are concern.

The ministry of Health should immediately start to build a centralized hospital complex large enough to house all the facilities, patient wards, laboratory, operating theaters, doctors and nurses housing, and ample of car parks. There are plenty of state lands available and large enough in Kota Kinabalu for building one stop government general hospital. -Sabahkini

KK HOSPITALS CARPARK TO PARLIAMENT

KK HOSPITALS CARPARK TO PARLIAMENT

Sabah sabahdaily   9:51 AM

THE problem of car parking spaces in the three hospitals in Kota Kinabalu was brought up last weeks in the Parliament session by the Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament Dr. Hiew King Cheu.

He asked the Minister of Health Datuk Liow Tiong Lai on why there is no action by the Health Ministry to improve the long outstanding lack of car parking spaces in the Hospital Queen Elizabeth 1 and 2, and the Luyang Polyclinic.

The situation is getting critical and many had suffered and being summoned by the DBKK and the Traffic police. Some doctors and nurses were being issued many summon too.

A specialist doctor told Dr. Hiew that he has 6 police summons because he couldn’t find a car park in time, and the patient is waiting for his immediate care. He had to leave his car at a road corner quickly in order to attend to his patients.

Datuk Liow in his reply said that the matter of insufficient car parks in the three hospitals in Kota Kinabalu is now under planning and the construction should be on the way soon, and they will take urgent measure to tackle these problems.

For the Luyang Polyclinic, he said the Health Department in Sabah had received approval from DBKK for the construction of 33 car parking lots placed in Taman Bestari, and the work will commence this year.

For the HQE1, there will be a total of 792 lots in the hospital, including a three storey car park building for 536 cars, once the Twin Tower Block is completed.

For HQE2 (SMC), there are existing 178 parking lots, and because of the lack of car parks, a shuttle bus service will be used to ferry patient and visitors to reach the hospital from HQE1, Dewan Damai in Luyang and Likas Sport Complex.

The new project in HQE2 which is expected to be completed by the end of this year will provide additional 327 car parks.

Dr. Hiew said the people want the program of the Health Ministry to provide more car parking lot immediately in the three hospitals. The people have to continue to suffer at least another year, and hopefully what are planned by the ministry shall be completed on time.

The proposal as stated by the minister is insufficient to solve the daily car parking problem, Dr. Hiew hopes there will be some temporary road side or open space car park lots can be made ready to allow the visitors, patients and doctors for short hour parking, and avoid being summoned.

At the mean while, Sabah DAP Medical & Health Advisory Bureaus chief Dr. Filex Chong said that it can be easily done with the cooperation of the DBKK, JKR, JPJ, and the police. -Sabahkini

Hulu Selangor favours Zaid over Dr Halili

Hulu Selangor favours Zaid over Dr Halili

Selangor sabahdaily   9:49 AM

PKR will tonight announce their candidate for the Hulu Selangor by-election and The Malaysian Insider’s strawpoll indicate locals prefer Datuk Zaid Ibrahim over local born neurosurgeon Datuk Dr Halili Rahmat.

About 60 per cent of the voters polled yesterday said that they would vote Zaid while 40 per cent said they will back anyone to replace MP Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad — whose death last month triggered the April 25 by-election.

The respondents were polled in the three state constituencies of Batang Kali, Kuala Kubu Bharu and Ulu Bernam within the constituency. Zaid was extremely popular in Ulu Bernam, polling 90 per cent of support while he obtained 60 per cent in Kuala Kubu Bharu.

A few explained their support for Zaid, the Kelantan-born lawyer who built his law firm into Malaysia’s largest partnership before he entered politics and was briefly made a minister.

“I choose him because of his political experience and he also understands the administration system as he was a minister in the prime minister’s department before joining PKR,” Ahmad Helmi Ali Bakri told The Malaysian Insider.

“With his experience and knowledge, I think he will be able to explain to the people about the current affairs so they will be able to understand issues such as the NEM (New Economic Model) and the APCO Worldwide issue,” the 49-year-old Ulu Bernam resident said.

Another voter from Ulu Bernam Siew Wei Lian said Zaid is the best name PKR can offer.

“I don’t really mind who the candidate is, as long as he is able to serve his voters fairly, so I hope whoever is chosen as PKR candidate will be able to serve fairly,” he said.

A Batang Kali restaurant owner Low Boon Chai, 44, said Zaid was the ideal candidate due to his popularity as both PKR and MIC have equal chances of winning the semi urban seat.

“Datuk Zaid is more suitable to represent PKR as he is more popular compared to Dr Halili.

“I know a lot about Zaid from the newspapers, there are a lot of stories about him recently compared to Dr Halili,” he said.

Most voters met know Zaid through media reports as he was formerly a minister in the prime minister’s department before joining PKR. He is also popular as he has been seen helping in PKR’s campaign in the constituency.

The voters also said they wanted a new face in the constituency as they claimed to be tired of MIC deputy president and four-term MP Datuk G. Palanivel for his alleged failure to deliver his election promises.

They are also demanding for economic change in the constituency and not just infrastructure development as many of them are self-employed and odd-job workers. The second national car project, Perodua, is also a major employer as its main plant is in the constituency.

PKR is said to be considering only Malay candidates as a majority of the voters are from that community. The Election Commission (EC) statistics reveal that out of the 64,500 voters, 34,020 are Malays, 16,964 Chinese and Indian, 12453.

In Election 2008, Zainal, the former Selangor deputy mentri besar, defeated Palanivel by a slim majority of 198 votes.

Zainal who joined PKR in 2005 obtained 23,177 votes while Palanivel received 22,979 votes. -MI

Sabah Mulls National Day Celebration

Sabah sabahdaily   7:25 PM

The proposed Malaysia Day celebration will be discussed at the Sabah cabinet meeting, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Yahya Hussin (pic).

He said usually, the state government would heed the federal government in celebrating national events.

"I will raise the matter at the (state) cabinet meeting. Actually, we planned to hold a state-level National Day celebration simultaneously with the Yang Dipertua Negeri's 64th birthday celebration to save cost.

"As Malaysia Day is a public holiday, it would be a waste if we do not celebrate it," he told reporters after chairing the main committee meeting on the National Day and the Yang Dipertua Negeri's birthday celebrations here today.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak declared Sept 16 a public holiday to mark the formation of Malaysia in 1963.

Sabah and Sarawak gazetted the date as state holidays by naming it the Yang DiPertua Negeri's birthday anniversary.

Yahya said that the Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri's 64th birthday celebration would be held on the first Saturday in October with a parade at Padang Merdeka.

Chinese angry over a boast that Palanivel denies

Chinese angry over a boast that Palanivel denies

Selangor sabahdaily   8:51 AM

Some in the Chinese community here are adamant they will not vote for Datuk G. Palanivel if he contests the April 25 by-election, over an alleged boast that he did not need their votes to win the 2004 general election with a 14,000 majority.

Their threat is a cause of concern for the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal government, which will name its candidate on Thursday to win back the seat that the MIC deputy president lost in Election 2008 by a slim 198 votes.

“No sensible person will utter those words especially during an election time,” Palanivel told The Malaysian Insider by text message last night.

The Selangor and Hulu Selangor MIC chief remains the sole party pick for the by-election but speculation is strong that his protege, MIC Youth deputy chief V. Mugilan or party information chief P. Kamalanathan are also being considered.

Of the three, Mugilan is said to have the brightest chance of being made the BN candidate although party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu believes Palanivel can regain Hulu Selangor which he held for four terms from 1990.

“2004 was tough election because I was challenged by Ustaz Ismail Kamus, a PAS stalwart. The Chinese community supported very well, so much so that I even won the peti undi box of Batang Kali Chinese New Village. The first win for Parliament since 1959.

“That year Chinese voters strongly supported me. If that allegation was true they would not have supported me. Every time an election comes these are the allegations that will be hurled,” the 61-year-old politician said.

BN won handsomely in the 2004 general election with a 91 per cent mandate, the first held 22 years with Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at the helm of the coalition instead of long-serving prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

But the coalition lost badly in Election 2008, losing four states and its customary two-thirds parliamentary majority which was blamed on unfulfilled promises to the electorate.

Palanivel pointed out he even heard rumours quoting him as saying he did not want Indian votes, who form a substantial 19.3 per cent of the 64,500 electorate in Hulu Selangor.

“After winning or before winning I am not the type to tell I don’t want votes from any community. They will always be someone to start these rumours. I cannot be the source of these rumours,” he stressed.

“In fact, after winning the vote box of Batang Kali New Village in 2004, I held a function to thank the Chinese votes for the historic win,” Palanivel added.

But several Chinese voters told The Malaysian Insider they had heard stories of Palanivel’s boast but were unable to determine when and where it was made.

All, however, believe that the journalist-turned-politician did say something to that effect sometime in 2004 after the year’s general elections.

“When Palanivel retained the seat by 14,483 votes in 2004, he boasted that he didn’t have to depend on Chinese voters to win,” a pensioner who called himself Koh told The Malaysian Insider.

Batang Kali resident Tan Chee Heng, 40, who owns a motorcycle shop, had also heard the same tale. He said, because of this, “Orang Cina cukup benci dia.” (The Chinese really hate him.)

A former BN component party member who did not want to be identified said he, too, had gotten wind of the same story. “I do not know when but he did mention something like that.”

He said another reason the Chinese community was over an unfulfilled promise. Palanivel had promised in 2007 to allocate funds to Sze Yah Kong Temple but did not keep to his word, and when he was asked about this in 2008 before the general elections, he allegedly said that he would give the temple the money if they voted for him.

An MIC member who also declined to be named said he was present when Palanivel made his boast, although not in the way the Chinese perceive it to have been.

He said Palanivel, speaking at Ampang Pecah in 2004 after successfully defending his seat, had told residents there he only needed Felda votes to win.

Palanivel apparently said this when chastised by the residents there for being unresponsive to their requests outside of election period.

The local community had called him there to survey damage done to their homes by repeated flooding.

The MIC member ventured that this incident perhaps gave rise to the idea among the Chinese community that Palanivel had boasted about not needing their backing, as it was implied in his statement that he did not need to depend on any minority voters.

The Hulu Selangor seat fell vacant following PKR MP Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad’s death last March 25.

There are 64,500 registered voters in Hulu Selangor, with 63,701 regular voters and 799 postal voters. Malays make up the majority of the total with 34,020 voters (52.7 per cent,) followed by Chinese with 16,964 voters (26.3 per cent) and Indians at 12,453 voters (19.3 per cent). -MI

Khalid: Race Not a Factor in Choosing PKR Candidate

Khalid: Race Not a Factor in Choosing PKR Candidate

Selangor sabahdaily   8:48 AM

Selangor Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) liaison chief, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (pic), said PKR did not give importance to race when selecting its candidate for the Hulu Selangor parliamentary by-election on April 25.

He said PKR would merely choose the "best" candidate who would be dedicated, hardworking and strive for the betterment of the people and voters of the constituency.

"No need to politicise the issue (of race) when selecting the best candidate for an election. This is a political matter. The issue (of race) shouldn't be seen as a "sandiwara politik pilihan raya" (an election political drama).

"We in PKR do not look at that aspect (race) but instead look for an eligible candidate who can win the hearts and minds of the voters in Hulu Selangor," Khalid told reporters after launching the Selangor-level People's Tuition Programme, near here, today.

Khalid was responding to a statement made by Umno information chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan in a Malay daily which challenged PKR to field a non-Malay candidate for the Hulu Selangor by-election in an attempt to give fairness to all races in that constituency.

Voters in Hulu Selangor will go to the polls on April 25 to elect a new member of parliament following the death of the incumbent, Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad of PKR on March 25. BN will field a candidate from the MIC in the by-election, nomination for which is on April 17.

Khalid, who is Selangor Menteri Besar, said Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders would meet in the next two days to decide on the "right" candidate, expected to be announced on Tuesday night.

On another note, Khalid said the state government spent RM3.4 million each year for the People's Tuition Programme and about 5,600 pupils in the state benefited from the programme every year.

NAFI: 300 AHLI PKR SERTAI UPKO ?

NAFI: 300 AHLI PKR SERTAI UPKO ?

Sabah sabahdaily   9:29 AM

KETUA Cabang PKR Beluran, Sipin Bin Kadandi @ Ambrose hari ini menafikan dengan sekeras-kerasnya dakwaan dan propaganda yang dicanangkan oleh parti UPKO Beluran bahawa seramai 300 orang ahli PKR telah keluar beramai-ramai dan menyertai Barisan Nasional.

UPKO sengaja berbuat demikian demi untuk melemahkan semangat perjuangan ahli- ahli PKR dan juga memandangkan semakin melebar kepercayaan rakyat kepada perjuangan Pakatan Rakyat.

Menurut Sipin, hanya 20 orang sahaja yang berbuat demikian malah sebaliknya Cabang PKR Beluran telah nenerima masuk 400 orang ahli-ahli UMNO menyertai Pakatan Rakyat baru-baru ini. Beliau menyatakan demikian apabila diminta mengulas oleh BIRO Informasi & Komunikasi PKR Negeri mengenai dakwaan yang dibuat oleh parti UPKO.

Sipin menyatakan dengan tegas bahawa cabang PKR Beluran telah sedaya upaya mengadakan beberapa siri penerangan dan pendekatan kepada penduduk setempat dan menerangkan dengan lebih terperinci hala-tuju dan focus utama perjuangan PKR dan Pakatan Rakyat. Maka kerana itulah kebanyakan ahli-ahli UMNO telah berpatah arang dengan kepimpinan UMNO dan menyertai Pakatan Rakyat.

Beliau juga menambah, rata-rata ahli UMNO yang keluar itu telah menyatakan sokongan padu kepada Pakatan Rakyat kerana telah hilang kepercayaan kepada kepimpinan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional yang hanya mementingkan kepentingan diri dan kroni-kroni masing-masing daripada mendahulukan keperluan dan kepentingan rakyat jelata.

Maka kerana itulah juga mereka bertekad untuk berjuang di bawah panji-panji Pakatan Rakyat dan akan meneruskan ikrar setia demi perjuangan murni Pakatan Rakyat.

Menjawab satu pertanyaan, Sipin yang juga Ketua Cabang PKR Beluran berkata, " Kini PKR telah begitu mendapat sambutan hangat daripada penduduk Beluran terutama sekali generasi muda yang sangat berminat menyertai PKR Cabang Beluran dan AMK kini sedang giat berusaha mendapatkan seberapa banyak generasi muda menyertai PKR."

Bakar Geran Tanah Sebab Marah JKR

Bakar Geran Tanah Sebab Marah JKR

N.Sembilan sabahdaily   9:19 AM

Kecewa dengan projek pembesaran jalan yang didakwa menimbulkan banyak masalah, penduduk sebuah kampung di Port Dickson hari ini membakar geran tanah asli mereka sebagai tanda bantahan.

Dengan bantuan sebuah NGO pemantau prestasi jabatan kerajaan, mereka juga mendirikan sebuah papan tanda besar ala papan projek Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) bertulis "Tapak cadangan tanah perkuburan baru" dan "Homestay mencari maut".

Menurut timbalan pengerusi Gerakan Memantau Perkhidmatan Agensi Kerajaan (GEMPAK) Rahimuddin Md Harun, penduduk dan NGO terbabit hari ini mengambil tindakan tersebut kerana kecewa dengan pemantauan JKR terhadap projek tersebut.

Sejak dimulakan pada 2004, tambahnya, projek pembesaran jalan Pasir Panjang-Port Dickson itu tidak dijalankan dengan baik sehingga menyebabkan rumah-rumah di sekitarnya terdedah kepada risiko dirempuh kereta dan banjir.

Katanya, jalan yang ditambak beberapa kaki itu, dengan saliran yang tidak sempurna menyebabkan air dan selut melimpah masuk ke rumah penduduk setiap kali hujan.

Jalan baru tersebut juga tidak mempunyai penghadang bagi mengelakkan kereta yang terbabas merempuh rumah mereka, tambahnya.

Sebanyak 72 keluarga - kira-kira 300 penduduk - terlibat dalam projek pembesaran jalan sejauh kira 5 kilometer itu.

Rahimuddin berkata, penduduk telah mengadukan perkara tersebut kepada pelbagai pihak, termasuk JKR, wakil rakyat, kerajaan negeri, pihak polis dan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) tetapi tiada sebarang tindakan diambil.

"Kalau hendak kumpul semua aduan, sudah satu rim kertas. Janganlah pandai menabur janji dalam pilihan raya kecil di Hulu Selangor sahaja, tetapi dengarlah juga rintihan penduduk di sini," katanya ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini selepas bantahan tersebut.
Rahimuddin juga berkata, penduduk Pasir Panjang tidak membantah pembangunan "tetapi janganlah kerana pembangunan, keselesaan dan hak penduduk diabaikan".

Menurut Rahimuddin, projek tersebut diusahakan oleh Perbadanan Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan, sebuah anak syarikat milik kerajaan (GLC) negeri.

Kira-kira 70 penduduk setempat hadir menyatakan bantahan itu kira-kira jam 11 pagi tadi.-GB

PATI IC PROJEK KINI MENJADI 'RAJA' DI TANAH ADAT?

PATI IC PROJEK KINI MENJADI 'RAJA' DI TANAH ADAT?

Sabah sabahdaily   10:13 AM

PENDATANG tanpa izin yang mendapat kad pengenalan projek bukan sahaja berani menjadi Ketua Cawangan UMNO, malah merampas tanah adat dan bersubahat dengan Penolong Pemungut Hasil Tanah untuk mendapat geran hak milik ke atas tanah adat yang diceroboh.

Seorang pewaris tanah adat, Ninah Binti Gaya, 34, memaklumkan beliau tidak pernah menyangka tanah adat peninggalan arwah ayahnya, Gayah Bin Mansur di Kampung Silam telah diceroboh dan cuba dirampas Ketua Cawangan UMNO Silam Pacific Hardwood, Haji Wahab Bin Nonong.

LAPOR.... Ninah (kanan) menunjukkan salinan laporan polis yang dibuat sebelum ini namuntidak diambil tindakan oleh polis memaksa Ninah membuat laporan polis terhadap Ketua Polis Daerah Lahad Datu. Manakala suami Ninah memegang surat keputusan penyiasatan tanah yang memberi hak kepada Wahab untuk mendapat sebahagian tanah adat yang diusahakan keluarga Ninah.

“Menurut bapa saudara saya, tanah ini adalah tanah adat kerana kami pohon atas geran NT apabila salah seorang pemohon asal, Allung Laedin tidak lagi berminat atas tanah yang diteroka dan menjual bahagiannya kepada bapa saya,” ujar Ninah yang mendakwa PT79114519 yang dipohon oleh bapanya telah dibatalkan sedangkan Allung telah menyerahkan bahagiannya PT 72111313 kepada arwah bapanya.

Kata Ninah, Wahab yang sebelum ini menumpang di tanah arwah bapanya telah menggunakan surat kuasa palsu untuk memperdaya Penolong Pemungut Hasil Tanah Lahad Datu kerana beliau memohon tanah tersebut melalui PT 89110399 menggunakan pelan tanah yang diduduki keluarga Ninah selama ini; sedangkan pada dasarnya Wahab memohon kawasan lain.

“Saya terkejut kerana Kerajaan mengeluarkan Geran Draf CL 115403640 atas nama Wahab Bin Nonong di atas tanah adat yang kami duduki sejak 1950-an lagi, walaupun beliau hanya menumpang tanah adat milik keluarga kami,” ujar Ninah yang kesal kerana kecuaian Jabatan Tanah dan Ukur mengeluarkan geran draf berkenaan.

Setelah dibantah mengikut Seksyen 15, Ordinan Tanah Sabah, Penolong Pemungut Hasil Tanah Lahad Datu, Awang Fauzi Bin Awang Tahir telah memanggil Ninah dan Wahab ke Pejabatnya pada 5 Mei 2009 untuk menyelesaikan bantahan tersebut dengan memerintah tanah tersebut dibahagi sama rata dengan Ninah.

PPHT juga mengarahkan agar geran draf CL 115403640 yang telah dikeluarkan atas nama Wahab Bin Nonong dibatalkan selaras dengan Seksyen 88, Bab 68, Ordinan Tanah Sabah.

“Bagaimana boleh dibahagi dua sedangkan Wahab tidak berhak ke atas tanah ini kerana adik beradik saya ramai. Keputusan ini tidak adil dan saya percaya berlaku amalan rasuah dan penyalahgunaan kuasa yang begitu ketara sehingga Wahab diberikan geran draf yang hampir melupuskan hak kami jika saya tidak membuat bantahan,” ujar Ninah yang mendapat perintah mentadbir harta pusaka arwah ayahnya daripada Mahkamah Syariah Tawau.

Tegas Ninah, PPHT tidak berhak untuk menentukan pertikaian dan memutuskan tanah adat berkenaan diserahkan kepada pemohon lain yang tidak ada kena mengena dengan keluarganya.

Sehubungan itu, Ninah mendesak agar Pengarah Tanah dan Ukur campurtangan untuk menyelesaikan pertikaian tanah tersebut dan polis mengambil tindakan sewajarnya terhadap Wahab Nonong kerana menceroboh tanah adat keluarganya.

Ninah turut mendesak Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) menyiasat bagaimana Wahab boleh mendaftar permohonan tanah dan diberikan kelulusan di atas tanah adat yang diduduki keluarga sejak zaman colonial sehingga kini.

Bagi menegaskan tindakan beliau, Ninah telah menghubungi peguamnya dan membuat laporan polis, LDD/RPT/1777/10 pada jam 11.20 malam, 17 Mac 2010 dan mendakwa bahawa;

“PADA jam lebih kurang 4.30 petang bertempat di rumah Taman Kafoh, No.10, Jalan Segama Lahad Datu, saya dimaklumkan oleh bapa saudara saya, Hj Aspala Bin Sahiran bahawa tanah yang kami duduki seluas lebih kurang 15 ekar adalah tanah adat yang telah diusahakan oleh bapa saya. Sebagai pewaris yang sah yang mendapat perintah pentadbir harta pusaka Gayah Mansur, saya datang ke balai membuat laporan agar Polis di-Raja Malaysia menyiasat dan mengambil tindakan dibawah undang-undang jenayah terhadap sesiapa sahaja yang terlibat secara langsung atau bersubahat sehingga kerajaan mengeluarkan geran draf CL 11543640 kepada Hj Wahab Bin Nonong No kad pengenalan H0568477 secara tidak sah, culas dan bercanggah dengan Ordinan Tanah Sabah. Laporan ìni juga dbuat terhadap Hj Wahab Bin Nonong kerana telah menceroboh tanah adat milik keluarga saya dengan menebang beberapa pokok dan menanam kelapa sawit di atas tanah yang telah diceroboh. Laporan ini juga dibuat terhadap Ketua Polis Daerah Lahad Datu kerana gagal mengambil tindakan di bawah undang-undang jenayah terhadap Hj Wahab Bin Nonong kerana telah mengugut untuk membakar rumah yang kami duduki sejak 39 tahun lalu jika kami tidak keluar daripada tanah berkenaan; walaupun saya telah membuat laporan di Balai Polis Lahad Datu melalui LDD/PRT/584208 pada 7 Oktober 2008. Laporan ini juga dbuat terhadap Penolong Pemungut Hasil Tanah Lahad Datu, Awang Fauzi Bin Awang Tahir kerana telah memberikan sebahagian tanah adat tersebut kepada Hj Wahab Bin Nonong melalui pembicaraan tanah melalui surat LE 46/2008/(18) bertarikh 5 mei 2009; sedangkan beliau tahu bahawa Hj Wahab tidak berhak ke atas tanah berkenaan.”

Dalam pada itu, Siasatan Sabahkini.net mendapati Wahab adalah pendatang haram Filipina yang mendapat kad pengenalan projek bernombor H0568477 dan kini memegang Mykad 400103-12-5117 merupakan Ketua Cawangan UMNO Silam Pacific Hardwood dan pemilih berdaftar di Kampung Silam, daerah mengundi Sapagaya, Lahad Datu.

Wahab menggunakan pelbagai nama sebelum mendapat kad pengenalan dan pernah bekerja dengan Pacific Hardwood. Menurut rekod surat nikah adik kandungnya, Siti Nohi Bin Upau, nama Wahab dicatatkan sebagai Kowon Bin Upau dan pernah menggunakan beberapa nama seperti Konong, Nonong dan kini menggunakan salah satu daripada nama Tuhan, ‘Wahab’ (sewajarnya ada Abdul sebelum namanya).

ADIK..... Adik Wahab Nonong bernama Siti Nuhi Upau masih memegang IMM13 IP-12071-3076 berlatar belakangkan rumah Wahab.

Sehingga kini adik Wahab, Siti Nuhi Upau masih memegang IMM13 sedangkan Wahab yang datang bersama adiknya telah mendapat kad pengenalan projek dan berlagak sebagai ‘Raja Tanah’ setelah menjadi Ketua Cawangan UMNO Silam Pacific Hardwood.

Pejabat Imigresen Lahad Datu yang berdiam diri selama ini mempunyai rekod Wahab namun belum bertindak kerana Wahab menjadi penyokong kuat Adun Lahad Datu, Datuk Datu Nasrun Datu Mansur; melainkan jika Jabatan Imigresen disapena ke Mahkamah untuk memberi keterangan siapa Wahab sebenarnya dan bagaimana beliau boleh mendapat kad pengenalan projek dan merampas tanah adat milik Anak Negeri Sabah.

Penduduk tempatan di Silam hairan kenapa Polis gagal memberkas Wahab yang melakukan jenayah menceroboh tanah dan mengugut untuk membakar rumah Ninah sedangkan laporan polis dibuat?

Saya mendapat panggilan dari pengurusan Celcom Berhad sebentar tadi dan diajukan persoalan tentang seorang yang bernama xxxxxx dan xxxxxx.

Mendengar nama ini dikaitkan dengan saya, saya terus memotong kata kata pengurusan CELCOM Berhad bahawa saya tiada kaitan langsung dengan nama nama ini.

Dia memberitahu saya, mereka agak terkilan dengan gambar superimpose yang di gunakan di web tersebut.

Nasihat saya secara peribadi kepada CELCOM, web tersebut adalah kurap dan kurap hanya boleh diubati dengan ubat kurap. Jgn garu. Abaikan penulisan itu, teruskan sahaja ke peringkat laporan polis dan Mahkamah adalah jawapan kepada kelompok ini.

Saya menulis kali ini, kerana mereka membuat panggilan kepada saya. :)

Jangan buang masa mencari orang yang anda tidak akan dapat temui, berikan saja tugas itu kepada pihak Polis dan mereka yang sememangnya ditugaskan untuk menguruskan orang orang seperti ini.

Blogger Umno sahkan berlaku perebutan calon di Hulu Selangor - Pemimpin Umno Selangor ancam Boikot!Ternyata bangkai gajah tidak dapat ditutup hanya dengan timbunan daun kering..kebusukannya pasti juga teserlah..Umno dan Najib kini berhadapan dengan keadaan yg cukup genting..hakikat ini tentunya tidak dirasai oleh Umno luar Hulu Selangor, tetap bahang dan kepanasannya dirasai oleh kepimpinan dan ahli/penyokong Umno Hulu Selangor sendiri...


Mereka menuntut supaya calon melayu dari Umno untuk bertanding..mereka sanggup menghantar memorandum kepada Najib demi mempertaruhkan seorang calon berbangsa Melayu sebagai ayam sabung mereka menentang calon Melayu dari parti PR..bahkan lebih dari itu, mereka mengugut akan memboikot PRK kali ini jika tuntutan mereka tidak diendahkan..

Persoalan kini, apakah Najib lebih mengutamakan pandangan dari penduduk Hulu Selangor sendiri, atau hanya mengambilkira pandangan dan suara dari pihak luar Hulu Selangor..sama2 kita saksikan babak seterusnya...

Hulu Selangor : Lebih 9 Calon Bertanding?

Hulu Selangor : Lebih 9 Calon Bertanding?

Selangor sabahdaily   9:58 AM

Rekod 15 calon merebut kerusi DUN Bukit Selambau April 2009 — paling ramai bertanding dalam satu-satu pilihan raya kecil — kemungkinan berulang di Hulu Selangor?

Sama ada suasana itu akan dapat disaksikan pada pilihan raya kecil kerusi Parlimen Hulu Selangor bulan ini masih menjadi teka-teki.

Bagaimanapun setakat semalam sembilan borang penamaan calon telah diambil, demikian disahkan oleh Timbalan Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) Datuk Wira Wan Ahmad Wan Omar.

Beliau tidak menolak kemungkinan lebih banyak borang akan diambil selepas ini.

Borang-borang ini diambil sama ada dari pejabat Pegawai Pengurus Pilihan Raya atau Pejabat Pilihan Raya Selangor di Shah Alam.

“Tidak ada borang diambil dari ibu pejabat SPR,” kata beliau kepada The Malaysian Insider.

Sambil menyifatkan jumlah itu “agak ramai”, Wan Ahmad berkata pihaknya tiada maklumat tentang parti politik pihak yang mengambil borang-borang ini mewakili.

“Biasanya kami tidak akan tanya parti politik yang mereka wakili kecuali minta berikan nama dan nombor kad pengenalan mereka.

“Ada jua yang mengambil borang bagi pihak parti dan ada kemungkinan ada pihak yang mengambil lebih daripada satu borang sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga (jika berlaku kesilapan),” katanya.

Tinggal hanya satu minggu sebelum hari penamaan calon.

Penamaan calon pilihan raya kecil kerusi Parlimen Hulu Selangor akan berlangsung 17 April ini manakala hari pengundian dijadual 25 April.

Setiap borang penamaan calon berharga RM20.

“Maklumat kami menunjukkan sembilan borang dikeluarkan setakat petang ini (semalam).

“Setakat hari ini sahaja sembilan borang sudah dikeluarkan. Masa ada masa lagi (menjelang hari penamaan calon)

“Kemungkinan akan ada lagi yang akan ambil borang penamaan calon,” kata beliau.

Setakat ini dua orang telah menyatakan pendirian akan bertanding sebagai calon Bebas selain pesaing tradisi Barisan Nasional (BN) dan komponen Pakatan Rakyat (PR) akan menurunkan calon masing-masing.

Difahamkan akan ada calon daripada Umno dan Pakatan Rakyat akan turun gelanggang ekoran rasa tidak puas hati dengan pemilihan calon.

Umno dari awal mahu kerusi itu diberikan kepada parti itu.

Bagaimanapun Rabu lalu Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak mengesahkan kerusi itu akan ditandingi oleh MIC bagi pihak BN.

Pilihan raya kecil DUN Bukit Selambau di Kedah pada 7 April 2009 menyaksikan 15 calon termasuk BN dan PR bertanding merebut kerusi itu selepas ia kosong kerana penyandangnya, seorang Exco, meletakkan jawatan. -MI
