Collusion between the Officials and the businessmen harmed the people badly
The owners of the Miri high street commercial shop reflected to The DAP Miri branch chairman PT Fong, at present, the expenses for the reconstruction fees of the high street commercial shophouses reached 180 thousand are unreasonable. In fact, basically those shophouses do not need to be reconstructed, minor changed the lignin floors into the cement floors will do, as for the roofs, made a firewall to separate them from the shophouses next door will do. Pay for an extra of ten over thousand for no reasons.
PT Fong asked that owner further why did he agree to reconstruct initially, the owner expressed that if they did not agree to do so, their land title could not be renewed, therefore, they just allowed themselves to be trampled upon! PT Fong expressed, in the society of the domineering corrupt officials and the collusion between the officials and the businessmen, some people therefore turned very rich, take “Datuk”, the common people are the one who pay deeply for the grieved price.
According to the owners, their shop was just like a bird nest, once you spoilt it and even then after all if made a new bird nest back, the original bird who lived there would not fly back again. The similar situation also occurred on the old customers, due to the reconstruction, when they had traded for new patrons, new stores, it was very difficult to lead them back. It caused the merchants suffered further from great misfortune, the owners often were asked for the reduction of the rental.
At present, the chamber of commerce are catching up with the construction of the stalls on the high street sidewalk, how many old customers can be attracted back is also a queries of many merchants, if those stall keepers are not properly arranged, it could be a possibility that the present merchants are even more difficult to thrive in business.
美里大街某業主向民主行動黨美里支部主席房保德的反映,目前大街正在重建的店屋建築費高達18萬令吉不合理。而且事實上那些店屋基本上是不需要重建的,只要把木質樓板換成洋灰樓板,而屋頂方面再做防火門牆跟隔壁的店屋隔開便行。平白多付了十幾萬令吉。
房保德進一步問那業主為何當初他要答應重建,業主則表示如果不答應重建的話,他們的地契便不能獲得更新,只好任人宰割!房保德則表示,在這個貪官污吏横流和商官勾結的社會裡,有人因此發大財、拿“拿督”,平民百姓則付出慘痛的代價。
某業主跟房保德反映說,他們的店屋就好比一個鳥巢你把它弄壞了再做一個新的回去,即使做了一個新的鳥巢,那原本住在那的鳥也不會再飛回來了。同樣的情形也發生在老顧客的身上,因為重建的關係,當他們換了新的顧主,就很難再使他們到回頭了。使原本己經面對生意下跌的商家更是雪上加霜,業主往往要降低租金來求租。
商會目前在大街人行道上趕建的攤位究竟會吸引多少的老顧客回頭也受到商家們的質疑,如果那些攤販不妥善的安排的話,很有可能讓現在商家生意越來越難做。

因為航班不能銜接的問題而差點讓旅客權益受捐的事件
The event about the flight schedules cannot be linked up and almost let the passengers suffered from great loss.
Due to the weather problem and caused the flight schedules delayed yesterday, the Minister of Tourism YB Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh also faced the same problem. At the same time, there was a group of tourists from West Malaysia who wished to go to Mulu but due to the cancellation of the flight from FAX, caused their returned trip could not link up with the Air Asia flight schedule, and therefore, complained to The Dap Miri Branch chairman PT Fong.
At the same time, when Fong was dealing with the concerned matter, he coincidently met with the Minister of Tourism YB Dato Sri Wong at the airport and intended to reflect the concerned matter to him. Who knows The Minister of Tourism has a very good juggling skill, he replied immediately: "This is the problem of the airline company; the airline company is under the federal issue, we had quarrelled severely on this issue in the cabinet, no solution! You go and ask your big brother Lim Kit Siang, put some efforts on this too! Request you big brother Lim Kit Siang to voice out, ask your bother Lim to voice out, I have no way out!"
Mr. Fong believed that as a Minister of Tourism, it is hard to make people to believe that he cannot solve the problems of the flight schedules between the difference airline companies which had seriously affected the local tourism industry. The foreign tourists saw the attractive propaganda advertisement and came to visit with high enthusiasm, but experienced bitter experience when they were here, once they went back, they will surely “propagandize” all of their bitter experience, and caused for others who have great intension to pay a visit to Sarawak finally reduce the moods and change their mind not to visit here, this situation affects seriously our local tourism industry. As the Minister of Tourism in Sarawak, as regards with the serious problems, he not only shrieked his responsibility, but to push the responsibility to Lim Kit Siang. If it is like this, does Dato Wong agree that there are no Supp’s YB or ministers, even other BN Chinese based political party are unable to solve this problem too, and must be solved by Lim Kit Siang from DAP? If this is the case, then to be a Minister of Tourism supposed to take the blame and resign, and let Lim Kit Siang to take over the post. With such a Minister of Tourism in Sarawak, how could Miri achieve the dream to be the City of
To be the Minister of Tourism but cannot solve the problem, why finally through the hard work form The DAP Miri Branch chairman PT Fong, Fax at last compromised, and undertook all the expenses involved due to the delayed of the flights! But one thing made people extremely pity is that, to be a Minister of Tourism, he cannot do his job well and he is incompetent when comes to his own responsibility! Many thing can be done, but the person just don’t want to do it!
Sarawak government handed the airline authority to Fax and Airasia. These two companies should take up the social responsibility, and should not just aim for money making, only gaining but no compensating type of business. At present, Fax can offer the same air fares price to Mulu as if it was done by the Malaysian Airline before, then What Malaysian Airline could do before, Fax also can do the same too. The Nation image and the social responsibility all need to look after, cannot consider only money making! If the country did not give the airline authorities to these two airline companies, where can the Airline gain money?
昨天下午因天氣關係導致航班延遲,黃順舸旅遊部長也受到同樣的困擾。
當房保德正在處理這件事情的同時,巧遇旅遊部長黃順舸也在機場,他便欲向部長反映旅客可能因此而權益受捐的事件。想不到旅遊部長太極功夫一流,馬上回答:“這是航空公司問題,航空公司是聯邦課題,這個課題我們在內閣已經吵得很厲害了,沒辦法!你叫你的林吉祥林大哥,也出一點力吧!叫你的林大哥去講,叫你的林大哥去講,我没辦法!”
房保德認為身為旅遊部長,不能解決航空公司間不能銜接的問題,而嚴重的影響到本地旅遊業的這個問題是説不過去的。外地旅客見到宣傳廣告因慕名而興致勃勃而來,到這裡却遭遇到不愉快的經驗,回去之後肯定大吐苦水到處“宣傳”,使到其他有意來砂州旅遊的人士遊興大減而不考慮到本地旅遊,嚴重影響本地的旅遊業。身為砂州的旅遊部長對這種嚴重影響砂州旅遊業的事情不但推卻本身的責任,更把責任推給林吉祥。這麼説來,黃順舸是不是也認同人聯黨內也沒有一個YB或部長,甚至其他同為國陣的其他華基政黨也無法解決這個問題,須由行動黨的林吉祥才能做到?如果這樣身為旅遊部長就應該引咎辭職,讓林吉祥來接任。否則有一個這樣的砂州旅遊部長要怎麼才能實現美里這個旅遊城的計劃?對大馬今年為旅遊年無非是一項諷刺!
身為旅遊部長不能解決的問題,為何最後在民主行動黨美里支部主席房保德的爭取之下,Fax最後還是妥協了,承擔了所有因班機延誤而產生的費用!但非常遺憾的是貴為一個旅遊部長却做不到!是不為也,而非不能也!
砂州政府把航權交給Fax和Airasia航空公司,他們就應負起社會責任,不能夠做包嬴、只賺不賠的生意。Fax目前到姆綠的票價和馬航以前的一樣,馬航能夠做到的事情Fax應該也要做到。國家的形象和社會責任都要照顧,不能只顧賺錢!如果國家不把這航權交給這兩家航空公司,他們那來的錢賺?
行動黨希望Fax和Airasia航空公司不要只是把這種事件當個案處理,應該要把它當做一個政策來施行。希望已後再有同樣事件發生時應該持有同樣的標準來實行!

批判高官政策惨遭禁足砂拉越 陈成兴遭扣于美里机场移民厅事件
In accordance with the incident Tan Seng Hin was detained in the Immigration Department at Miri Airport on 12 Jan, The DAP Miri branch chairman Fong Pau Teck led several DAP members to distribute the circular during the meeting of the Hainan Association Miri (海南會館) at the scene this noon. The circular was an issue published by Malaysiakini <當今大馬> on its website on 12 Jan concerning about the news of Tan Seng Hin was being retained at Miri Airport.
Because of the local newspaper did not publish any news on this, PT Fong believed that many of the Miri people did not know the occurrence of this incident, especially the Hainan fellows in Miri has the necessity to know this incident.
According to the news published by Malaysiakini《當今大馬》on its website on 12 Jan, from the entire event point of view, Fong believed that the whole incident was led by the SUPP chairman G.Chan(陳康南) behind the scene. PT Fong called upon the entire Hainan fellows to refuse the totalitarian political party and its totalitarian leaders.
Tan SH made used of the opportunity to come back in hope to share greatly with all the Hainan fellows for the chairman of Hainan Association (海南會館) had been elected to be the board of director of SM Pei Ming (培民中學) during the Hainan Association Annual general meeting, PT Fong did not know why this 67 years old kind and enthusiastic man who also Chinese Educationist when returned to Miri and hope to share pleasantly with the Hainan fellows was being detained at Miri Airport. From this incident, Fong Pau Teck was doubting that SUPP is oppressing the Chinese Education now, because SUPP chairman G.Chan was oppressing the Chinese Education Warrior Ting SH.
According to Malaysiakini, Tan SH believed that the reason he was being deported, was due to when he was the secretary of Miri Hainan Association in 2000, he opposed strongly the deputy minister allowed Curtin University of Technology to build a branch in Miri. At that time, he voiced out the worries of the local people who concerned about the Chinese Education, the establishment of Curtin University of Technology will cause the Chinese Independent Schools in Sarawak to use English as the main language for teaching, deteriorate Chinese Independent school gradually, in order to ensure that the sources for the recruitment of new students come unceasingly.
Criticised on the decision of G.Chan to set up a university brought calamity on himself
It is to believed that the ex-secretary of Miri Hainan Association was because of his criticism on SUPP chairman G.Chan and made the Sarawak government to prohibit him from entering the state, and once again was deported by the Sarawak Immigration. But before this, he had successfully entered and left Sarawak several times.
67 years old Mr.Tan took his flight from Johor Bahru to Miri yesterday, he was intercepted by the Immigration staff when he arrived at the Miri Airport at 12:45pm,and prohibited him to leave the airport.
When he was interviewed by Malaysiakini through the phone, he expressed that the Immigration staff told him verbally, they followed the instruction based on the Sarawak Security Council (砂州安全理事会), prohibited him from entering Miri, but did not disclose any further details.
Many times of “accidentally” entered Sarawak to vote
Was born in Malacca, stayed in Miri for about 23 years with his wife and 2 children, was deported and prohibited to enter Sarawak for about a year by the Sarawak government on 6 Jan 2001, the prohibition rule expired on 6 Dec the same year. Within these period of time, he “accidentally” entered Sarawak in Sep to vote, but was deported after just a few days. After the expiry of the prohibition, he successfully went back to his home during the Chinese New Year in January of 2002, but he was deported again after that. Due to this reason he could not go back to his home, he decided to settle down in Johor Baru, and went to work in China after that.
Tan SH expressed, within the time of the 2004 National election and the state election last year, he successfully entered Sarawak for voting without any obstruction, and after that he still entered Sarawak successfully for a few times. “I told them that there was no problem for my previous enterings, but they said that was the carelessness of the official.”
In April 2001, deputy home affair minister Zainal Abidin Zin answered the question which was brought up by the members of parliament of the frontier party, he expressed, the reason to deport Ting SH was because he involved in those activities which harmed the harmonies of the society, and he did not express gratitude to the Sarawak Government which allowed him to take up his residence for 23 years, to fan up the local people, and used the name of the secretary of Sarawak Hainan Association to critic the Sarawak state government.But, the government until now still cannot show any prove.
“This is unreasonable and illegal, I did not do any offense, and I did not have any bad record. This goes against the country constitution, the constitution allowed the people have the right to go around freely in the country.” Ting SH expressed.
針對陳成興在12日遭扣於美里機場移民廳事件,美里行動黨主席房保德於今天中午乘著海南會館開會時,帶了行動黨多位黨員到現場分發傳單。該傳單是一項由《當今大馬》在12日刊登在該網站上有關陳成興遭扣於美里機場的新聞。
因為當地報章沒有報導,房保德信相大多數的美里人都不知道這件的發生,尤其是美里的海南鄉親更有必要知道這件事。根據《當今大馬》在12日刊登在該網站上的新聞,從整個事件看來房保德相信這整件事情是人聯黨主席陳康南在背後主導。房保德呼籲海南的鄉親們一起來否決極權的政黨與其極權的領導人,。
陳成興乘著海南會館要開大會時回來為海南會館主席當上培中董事長一事而和鄉親們一同分享喜樂,房保德不知道為何一位67歲的熱心華教人士回美里與海南同鄉共享喜樂之時會遭扣於美里機楊。從這事件看來,房保德在置疑人聯黨現在在打壓華教,因為人聯黨主席陳康南正在打壓華教鬥士陳成興。
根據《當今大馬》的報導,陈成兴则相信本身遭驱逐的原因,是因为他在2000年担任美里海南会馆秘书时,反对副首席部长陈康南允许澳洲科廷科技大学(Curtin University of Technology)在美里开设分校。当时,他提出当地华教人士的担忧,既科廷大学的设立将导致砂州的独中采用英语教学,逐渐变质,以确保大学的学生来源不断。
批评陈康南设大学决定惹祸
相信是因批判人联党主席陈康南而遭砂拉越政府禁足的前美里海南会馆秘书陈成兴,再次遭到砂拉越移民厅禁止入境。惟在这之前,他已数次成功进出砂拉越。 现年67岁的陈成兴是在昨日从新山乘搭飞机至美里,在12日下午3时45分抵达美里机场时被移民厅官员拦截,禁止他离开机场。
“这是不合理也不合法的,我不曾犯罪,我没有不良记录。这是违反国家宪法的,宪法赋予国民在国内自由行动的权利。” 陳成興表示。

美里民主行動黨發動捐款培中運動
照片中為房保德移交捐款RM5288給予培民中學新上任董事長王克灿律師時攝,右一為行動黨美里支部副主席江木金,右三為美里支部財政許如發。
培中董事長王克灿律師宣布未來培中校務發展的初步綱要時,提出設立永久教育基金計劃,這“種子基金”的計劃獲得熱愛華教人仕的響應與踴躍捐款的情況令人鼓舞。
王克灿律師表示,將盡最大努力來落實培中創辦人所秉持的創校宗旨,保證面對任何艱辛的情況下,絶不乖離董教總所堅持的華文教育政策,不動搖培中自創校以來的母語教育立場。
王克灿律師的保征以及經營海南會館成功的經驗來永續經營培中,相信是全美里甚至全國華社和熱心華教人仕所樂見與期待的。華社和熱心華教人仕對於美里僅存的一間真正華文獨中的期許和愛戴是毋庸質疑的,這點我們可以從華社熱烈響應的情況看出得出來。
行動黨美里支部主席房保德不但響應培中董事長的號召,同時也要呼籲華社和行動黨的支持者來一起響應培中董事長的號召。唯因其本身的經濟能力有限,本着有一分熱發一分光的精神,行動黨黨員與幾位不願俱名的支持者在經費非常侷促的情況下共同籌了一筆為數不足掛齒的款項-- 伍仟貳佰捌拾捌令吉(RM5288),也來響應培中董事長的這個號召,同時他也要呼籲華社和行動黨的支持群眾踴躍來響應,今後全力支持美里僅存的華文獨中。
目前的國陣政府罔顧憲法賦予國民享有接受母語教育的權利,沒有制度化的撥款獨中,華社在千辛萬苦的情況下,毅然的扛下了這個本來屬於政府的責任。獨中每年都在非常堅苦的情況之下積極進取、自力更生的走過幾十年堅苦歲月。同樣身為馬來西亞國民一份子的獨中子弟不能和其他政府中學子弟享有同等的教育權利令人憤慨,而今天的華社上下一條心矢為辦好一間真正的華文獨中而努力不懈實為讓人動容,培中的這個“種子基金”的計劃使華社在萬般無奈中看到的是無限的希望與契機,期待培中在這個計劃之下永續經營下去。
房保德進一步的表示基於以下幾點原因,他看不出國陣政府有何種理由不制度話的撥款獨中。
第一,多個州政府己經資助獨中,没有理由砂州國陣政府做不到。
第二,獨中為我們的社會造就許多人才,對國家貢獻良多。
第三,獨中子弟的家長同樣為納稅人,為何獨中子弟不能在教育上享有同等的權利。
以下為多個州政府撥款獨中的情況:
在1985至1994年間,沙巴州的團結黨州政府率先的常年撥款給州內的華文獨中,1994年國陣接掌了沙巴州的政權,非但没有撤銷團結黨撥款給獨中的成規,且為了表示比團結黨做得更好,更把團結黨常年獨中撥款由100萬提高到150萬,2001年為180萬,而後又提高到200萬。2005年12月,砂巴州政府更是撥出469萬令吉給予州內所有獨中和華文學校包括華小和幼稚園。
進入21世紀,馬六甲州政府突破數十年傳統,撥出10萬助學金給培風中學,然後加發行政費而至2003年總共20萬令吉。
檳州政府在2002年撥出15萬令吉給州內獨中,2003年增加到20萬。
吉打州政府(2002年)撥出15萬令吉給州內獨中。
雪蘭莪州政府則在2003年杪宣佈撥款20萬給州內獨中。
吉蘭丹州極端的回教黨州攻府也都宣佈撥出1千英畝土地給州內唯一獨中(中華中學),且又給予永久地契。

DAP Miri calls the movement of the donation to SM Pei Ming
Dap Miri branch donated RM5288 for SM Pei Ming,at the same time, a campaign where each person donates RM10 each month being called, to response to the permanent education fund plan which was proposed by the board of director of SM Pei Ming, Lawyer Jimmy Wee.
The picture shows that Fong Pau Teck (middle) handed over RM5288 to the new board of director Lawyer Jimmy Wee of SM Pei Ming, the first on the right is The Dap Miri branch vice-chairman Kong Muk King,the third on the right is The Dap Miri branch treasurer Hii Yu Huat.
When Jimmy Wee lawyer, the board of director of SM Pei Ming, announced the preliminary fundamentals for the future development of the school administration, he proposed to establish a permanent education fund plan. The planning of this “seed fund” obtained great response from the devoted Chinese educationists who also donated money enthusiastically; this situation was spirited up people warmly.
Lawyer Jimmy Wee expressed, will do his best to implement the school objective which is grasped by the school founder into effect, he promised that whatever difficult situation he faces, he will never deviate from the Chinese Education policy which Dong Jiao Zong (董教總) persisted, as well as will not vacillate the mother tongue education which has been cultivated since the establishment of the school.
Lawyer Jimmy Wee promised to use the same successful experience, which has been successfully used to manage the Hainan Association, to manage SM Pei Ming continuously. We believed this is a good cheer and the anticipation fervently for the whole Miri even the whole country Chinese society as well as the Chinese educationists. The hope and the love from the Chinese society and the Chinese education enthusiasts toward the only Chinese Independent School in Miri is undoubtedly, we can see this situation from the warm-hearted response of the Chinese society.
The Dap Miri branch chairman Fong Pau Teck not only responded positively to the SM Pei Ming board of director’s appeal, but also he called upon the Chinese society and the DAP supporters to respond to this call simultaneously . Just because his financial ability is limited, with the spirit of accumulated water becomes rivers, in an extremely cramped situation, DAP members and some supporters who did not want to be named also responded to this call and raised an amount which is not worth mentioning of the amount of RM5288. At the same time he also wants to call upon the Chinese society and the DAP supporters to respond enthusiastically, from now on to support fully the only Chinese Independent School left in Miri.
At Present, the BN government ignors the constitutions which allow the national to have the right to enjoy and to receive the mother tongue education, no institutionalization to allocate fund for the Chinese Independent School, in an untold hardships situation, the Chinese society resolutely shoulder this responsibility which originally belongs to the government. Every year, the Chinese Independent School is under extremely difficult and hard situation to keep forging ahead, relies on its own effort to pass through several decades of hardship. As a Malaysian, the Chinese Independent School students cannot enjoy the same level of education right compared to the government school students which really made people feel indignant. Today, with the cooperation of the whole Chinese society, vowed to manage this Chinese Independent School well and work hard for it unremitting diligently, actually is visibly touched, in an utterly helpless situation, the “seed fund” plan of the SM Pei Ming made the Chinese society see the immeasurable hopes and turning points, looking forward to hope SM Pei Ming can forever be managed well through this plan.
Fong Pau Teck expressed further based on the following several reasons, he cannot see any reasons of the government not to institutionalise and allocate fund to the Chinese Independent School.
First, many states government has subsidised the Chinese Independent School; there is no reason for the Sarawak government to say that it cannot make it.
Second, The Chinese Independent School brought up many talented people, great contributions to the country.
Third, the parents of the Independent School students are all taxpayers, why can’t the Chinese Independent School students enjoy the same level of education right?
Below are the situations of the allocation of funds by the state government to the Independent School:
From 1985 to 1994, Sabah PBS state government took the lead to allocate fund for the state Chinese Independent School annually, in 1994, BN took over the Sabah State government, not only it did not cancel PBS’s rule of the fund allocation to the Independent School annually, in order to express BN will make better than PBS, but also it turned up the PBS annual fund allocation to the Chinese Independent School from 1 million to 1.5 million, 1.8 million in 2001, and then raised to 2 million. In December 2005, moreover, the Sabah State government allocated RM4.96 million to all the State Chinese Independent Schools and Chinese schools included the Chinese Primary school and the Chinese kindergarten.
Entered the 21st century, The Malacca State government broke the several decades of tradition to allocate RM100 thousand of scholarships to SM Pei Fong (培風中學), and then even added on the administration fees up to total RM200 thousand in the year 2003.
The Penang State government allocated RM150 thousand to the state Chinese Independent School, raised up to 200 thousand in 2003.
Kedah State government allocated 150 thousand to the State Chinese Independent School in 2002.
Selangor State government also announced to allocate 200 thousand to the State Chinese Independent School in 2003.
Kelantan, the extreme Islam State government also announced to allocate One thousand acres to the only State Chinese Independent School SM Chung Hua (中華中學), and also gave a permanent land title.
