[Tuan Speaker mempengerusikan Mesyuarat]

DOA

PEMASYHURAN DARIPADA TUAN SPEAKER Tuan Speaker: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, selamat pagi dan salam sejahtera. Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, I have granted leave of absence under Standing Order 81 to Yang Berhormat Puan Hajah Simoi binti Haji Peri Honorable Member for N.28 Lingga and Yang Berhormat Encik Roland Duat anak Jubin N.48 Honourable Member for Meluan for today’s sitting.

PERTANYAAN-PERTANYAAN BAGI JAWAPAN-JAWAPAN LISAN Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Mohamad Chee Bin Kadir, Kabong YB Encik Mohd Chee Bin Kadir: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Sik sempat karang pantun, Tuan Speaker.

Hakisan di Tepi Sungai Seblak di Kawasan Empayang, Kabong (217) YB Encik Mohd Chee Bin Kadir bertanya kepada Menteri Pemodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah: Kawasan di tepi Sungai Seblak di Kawasan Empayang, Kabong mengalami hakisan yang begitu meruncing. Apakah perancangan dan tindakan Kerajaan untuk mengatasi masalah ini yang membimbangkan penduduk-penduduk Empayang? Menteri Muda Pertanian (Dr Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Ismail): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat bagi Kabong. Saya boleh bagi pantun kepada Yang Berhormat.

Pekan Kabong Cantik Sekali, Saya Cuba Jawab Soalan YB.

Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Kabong, kawasan Empayang terletak di

bawah Skim Kawasan Pembangunan Pertanian Bersepadu Kabong-Nyabor atau pun kawasan Integrated Agriculture Development Area (IADA). Skim ini adalah di bawah seliaan Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani Malaysia dan setiap tahun skim ini diperuntukan sebanyak RM2 juta untuk menampung kos operasi semua kawasan IADA bagi Bahagian Betong. Daripada jumlah tersebut, sebanyak RM487,000 telah dibelanjakan pada tahun ini untuk menyelenggara struktur-struktur kawasan hakisan dan mengukuh ban-ban sedia ada di Skim Kabong-Nyabor termasuk di kawasan Empayang. YB Encik Mohd Chee Bin Kadir: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Menteri Muda. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

(a) Adakah Kerajaan mempunyai perancangan untuk membina struktur-struktur kawalan hakisan tebingan sungai yang lebih kukuh di kawasan Empayang?

(b) Berapakah anggaran peruntukan yang diperlukan untuk melaksanakan

projek-projek tersebut?


2

Menteri Muda Pertanian (Dr Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Ismail): Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat bagi Kabong atas soalan tambahan tersebut. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Kabong IADA Bahagian Betong mempunyai rancangan untuk membina infrastruktur yang lebih sesuai dan berkesan bagi mengawal hakisan tebingan sungai di kawasan Empayang. Komponen-komponen projek termasuk membina dan menaiktaraf sistem paritan, ban, lintasan dan pintu kawalan paras air. Perancangan ini insyalah akan dimasukkan dalam senarai projek di bawah RMK-12. Untuk menjawab soalan tambahan yang kedua, anggaran peruntukan yang diperlukan untuk melaksanakan projek-projek tersebut adalah RM10 juta. Terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Abdul Yakub Bin Haji Arbi bagi Balingian. YB Encik Abdul Yakub Bin Haji Arbi: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker.

Menaik taraf Jalan Berisiko Banjir di DUN Balingian (218) YB Encik Abdul Yakub Bin Haji Arbi bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Infrastruktur dan Pengangkutan: Adakah Kerajaan Negeri berhasrat untuk menaik taraf jalan yang berisiko banjir terutama di kawasan ulu iaitu dari Kg Tegak-Kg Penakub-Kg Teh hingga Kg Tabo? Menteri Muda Jalan Pesisir (YB Datuk Haji Julaihi bin Haji Narawi): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Di Mukah banyak ikan. Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Balingian. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Balingian, setakat ini tiada perancangan untuk menaik taraf jalan dari Kampung Tegak/Kampung Penakub/Kampung Teh hingga ke Kampung Tabo.

Walau bagaimanapun, pihak kami melalui Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak (JKR) akan membuat kajian kesesuaian projek ini yang kami akan kemukakan di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12 nanti untuk pertimbangan. Terima kasih. YB Encik Abdul Yakub Bin Haji Arbi: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat Menteri Muda. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

(a) Apakah skop kerja dicadangkan untuk menaiktaraf jalan yang berisiko banjir tersebut?

(b) Berapakah kos menaiktaraf jalan tersebut?

Menteri Muda Jalan Pesisir (YB Datuk Haji Julaihi bin Haji Narawi): Terima kasih, sekali lagi Yang Berhormat Balingian. Untuk menaik taraf jalan yang berisiko banjir yang dimaksudkan oleh Yang Berhormat bagi Balingian, kami mencadangkan supaya meninggikan jalan yang sedia ada yang sering ditenggelami air bah dan seterusnya menaiktaraf lapan kilometer jalan sedia ada dari JKR R2 Standard kepada JKR R3 Standard dan ianya dijangka menelan kos sebanyak RM10 juta. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Wilson Nyabong Anak Ijang, Pelagus. YB Encik Wilson Nyabong Anak Ijang: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker.

Pengukuran Parameter Survei di Kapit (219) Yang Berhormat Encik Wilson Nyabong Anak Ijang bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Bandar dan Sumber Asli. Pengukuran parameter survei di Kapit:

(a) Berapakah keluasan tanah NCR yang sudah di gazet di bawah Seksyen 6?

(b) Apakah pendirian Kerajaan jika terdapat pertindihan pembangunan yang melibatkan kawasan LPF?

(c) Adakah Kerajaan akan menarik balik lesen tersebut atau mengekalkannya?

Menteri Muda Pembangunan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih, Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Pelagus. There’s three questions in one.

(a) Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Pelagus, keluasan tanah NCR yang telah diwartakan sebagai Rizab Komunal Bumiputera (Pertanian) di bawah Seksyen 6 Kanun Tanah Negeri setakat 30 September 2018 di Bahagian Kapit adalah 51,405 hektar (127,022 ekar).

(b) Sekiranya terdapat pertindihan pembangunan di kawasan Lesen Ladang

Hutan (LPF), yang melibatkan tanah NCR yang diwartakan atau tanah berhak milik (Alienated Land & Provisional Lease) dengan kawasan LPF, maka ianya akan dikeluarkan (excluded) daripada kawasan LPF berkenaan.

(c) Penarikan lesen LPF bergantung kepada keluasan kawasan lesen yang

terjejas oleh pembangunan tanah NCR yang diwartakan atau tanah berhakmilik. Sekiranya melibatkan keseluruhan kawasan, maka lesen tersebut akan ditarik balik.

YB Encik Wilson Nyabong Anak Ijang: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Menteri Muda. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan:

(a) Kenapa kerja pengukuran ke atas tanah NCR perlu dilakukan secepat mungkin?

(b) Bagi kawasan-kawasan yang telah di gazet apakah luas tanah yang telah

diluluskan untuk diukur lot individu NCR insentif baru dan berapakah yang telah diukur dikeluarkan dengan surat hak milik individu?

Menteri Muda Pembangunan Bandar, Pentadbiran dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih sekali lagi, Tuan Speaker dan Yang Berhormat dari Pelagus. I will answer question number two first. Setakat 31 Oktober 2018, seluas 26,569 hektar tanah NCR telah diluluskan untuk diukur lot individu, lot NCR inisiatif baru bagi keseluruhan bahagian Kapit. Daripada jumlah itu, seluas 1682 hektar telah siap diukur di mana seluas 120 hektar telah dikeluarkan dengan surat hak milik di bawah Seksyen 18 Kanun Tanah Negeri.

Untuk menjawab soalan kedua, it will take a bit longer time but nevertheless, I have to answer that. Iaitu kenapakah kerja mengukur ke atas tanah NCR perlu dilakukan? Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Pelagus, actually it is stating the obvious, objektif pengukuran tanah adalah mengesahkan bagi mengesahkan sempadan tuntutan dan pemilikan sesuatu bidang tanah. Bagi melaksanakan proses pengukuran tersebut, ianya mestilah melalui proses penyiasatan terperinci bagi mengelakkan pertindihan sempadan

tuntutan tanah. Bukti-bukti tuntutan direkodkan dengan menggunakan borang-borang yang tertentu akan mewujudkan bukti yang didokumentasikan ke atas tanah tersebut bagi tujuan rujukan di masa akan datang. Selain daripada itu, bagi memenuhi keperluan pendaftaran hak milik tanah, selaras dengan toleran sistem, kerja pengukuran tanah adalah keperluan mandatori agar sempadan tanah yang diukur, direkodkan di dalam pelan cadastral. Pendaftaran hakmilik tanah itu, selain memberi indispensability, odd title pada pemilik berdaftar, selaras dengan peruntukan di bawah Seksyen 132 Kanun Tanah Negeri, ianya juga merekodkan encumbrances iaitu kepentingan ke atas setiap bidang tanah. Pengukuran tanah sama pentingnya dengan pengiktirafan kewujudan hak bumiputera yang sahih di atas tanah tersebut. Pengukuran yang hasilnya akan membolehkan surat hak milik dikeluarkan akan menyelesaikan banyak perkara yang melibatkan tanah. Ianya akan menyelesaikan konflik di antara dua pihak atau pun tiga pihak atau pun empat pihak dengan penentuan sempadan tanah yang jelas setelah diukur. Memudahkan pengurusan dan penggunaan ke atas tanah tersebut dan memudahkan bayaran pampasan dibuat jika tanah tersebut diperlukan untuk pembangunan. Sebab itulah kerja ukur ini digiatkan lebih-lebih lagi untuk memastikan semua tanah NCR yang sahih diletakkan di dalam daftar tanah. Saya hairan bagaimana mungkin ada orang yang mengatakan pengukuran tanah tidak perlu sedangkan pengukuran tanah dan pengiktirafan ke atas tanah tersebut sebagai tanah NCR yang sahih adalah dua perkara yang sentiasa berkait rapat. Bagai aur dengan tebing, ibarat lagu dan irama yang tidak dapat dipisahkan, andai dipisahkan jua, maka rosaklah lagunya, musnahlah iramanya. Ertinya, pengesahan hak tanah NCR hendaklah disusuli dengan pengukuran. Selain daripada dari itu, pengukuran tanah atau sempadan juga penting bagi memastikan sempadan wilayah dan kedaulatan sesuatu Negara atau pun Negeri pemerintah tidak dicerobohi. Di dalam pentaksiran Negara atau pun Negeri, kita perlu mengukurkan sempadan Negara atau Negeri masing-masing, ini kerana di sinilah ditentukan kedaulatan sesebuah Negara dan Negeri.

Bahkan sempadan benua yang di bawah permukaan laut pun kita ukur, apatah lagi tanah yang berada di daratan. Sampai ke hari ini kita berpegang teguh kepada order yang telah dikeluarkan oleh The Queen of England dalam tahun 1954 yang menyatakan, “Pursuant to the powers conferred upon Her by the Colonial Boundaries Act, 1895(a) on the 24th June 1954 at the Court at Buckingham Palace, the Sarawak Alteration and Boundary Order in Council 1954” dikeluarkan.

You just imagine, had it not been for this Order, we will have this problem until now. Even we are still having problem until now.

Jadi Yang Berhormat bagi Ba’Kelalan dengan kenyataan hab akhbar beliau yang dipetik oleh The Star bertarikh 27 Julai 2010 menyatakan pengukuran itu penting untuk dilaksanakan. That’s what he said eight years ago. Sedangkan beliau tiga hari yang lepas berubah lagu, berubah nada, berubah suara dan berubah irama. Then, I do understand but I can only guess why he has to say so.

Kalau kita lihat dari segi peruntukan untuk perimeter survei tahun ini sekurang-

kurangnya pada lapan tahun yang lepas Kerajaan Pusat di bawah Barisan Nasional telah menyediakan peruntukan sebanyak lebih daripada RM160 juta. For a period of eight years roughly about RM20 million every year untuk kerja perimeter survei.

Malangnya Kerajaan Pakatan Harapan (PH) pada hari ini dengan Menteri Kewangan

nya tidak menyediakan apa-apa peruntukan. Amat sedih sekali. Inilah Kerajaan yang habuk pun tidak ada. Kati ko Iban, nadai. Kati ko Melayu, tidak ada. Kati ko Melanau, mei bei. Foochow is not NCR. We are talking about the bumiputera. This is for bumiputera okay. Bidayuh, meting duit. Kayan, ken un sen. Penan, yang kun sen. Lunbawang, saya tidak sempat untuk menanya YB dari Ba’Kelalan apakah bahasa dalam bahasa Lunbawang yang bermakna peruntukan yang tidak ada disediakan.

Sekian, terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Yang Berhormat Encik Awla Bin Dris, Simunjan. YB Encik Awla Bin Dris: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Boleh berpantun, Tuan Speaker?

Di pagi hari berjalan kaki, Berjalan kaki di Pekan Song, Baru hari ini mendapat rezeki,

Soalan saya 220.

Elaun Ahli Majlis (220) YB Encik Awla Bin Dris bertanya kepada Menteri Kerajaan Tempatan dan Perumahan. Adakah Kerajaan ingin menaikkan elaun Ahli Majlis di atas sumbangan dan perkhidmatan mereka membantu ke arah pembangunan di Negeri Sarawak? Menteri Muda Kerajaan Tempatan (YB Datu Dr Penguang Manggil): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat daripada Simunjan. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Simunjan dan juga Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat yang lain di dalam Dewan yang mulia ini, soalan yang sama iaitu soalan kenaikan ahli majlis adalah soalan yang paling popular apabila saja kita mengadakan dialog atau pun mesyuarat dengan ahli-ahli majlis di mana jua pun.

Justeru, pihak kementerian telah menjalankan semakan terperinci terhadap kedudukan kewangan kesemua tiga majlis bandaraya, tiga majlis perbandaran dan juga 20 Majlis Daerah di seluruh Negeri Sarawak. Dan kita dapati bahawa majlis-majlis yang saya sebutkan tadi terutama sekali Majlis Daerah tidak mempunyai kemampuan kewangan untuk menampung kenaikan elaun Ahli-ahli Majlis.

Malah hampir kesemua Majlis di seluruh Negeri Sarawak pada masa kini beroperasi

dengan deficit budget. Oleh sebab yang demikian kadar elaun yang sedia ada perlu dikekalkan sehingga kedudukan kewangan majlis mengizinkan.

YB Encik Awla Bin Dris: (Soalan Tambahan) Timbalan Menteri. Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan, iaitu:

(a) Apakah kriteria yang digunakan untuk pemilihan ahli majlis. (b) Apakah ada cadangan untuk Kerajaan memberi elaun bulanan tetap kepada

ahli majlis seperti yang diberikan kepada ketua kaum. Terima kasih. Menteri Muda Kerajaan Tempatan (YB Datu Dr Penguang Manggil): Terima kasih, Ahli Yang Berhormat daripada Simunjan. Saya belum lagi jadi Timbalan masih Menteri Muda. Kita maklum bahawa peranan Ahli-ahli Majlis amatlah begitu penting dalam penggubalan dasar dan menentukan hala tuju majlis tertentu. Oleh yang demikian, Section 13, Local Authorities Ordinance, 1966 (Cap. 20) berkehendakkan seorang Ahli Majlis yang mempunyai pengalaman yang luas di dalam hal Kerajaan Tempatan atau pun kecemerlangan di dalam mana-mana profesion seperti kejuruteraan, pentadbiran, perdagangan, perniagaan atau industri serta berkebolehan untuk mewakili kepentingan masyarakat setempat di kawasan pihak berkuasa tempatan masing-masing.


6

Di dalam jangka masa yang terdekat ini, Kementerian Kerajaan Tempatan dan Perumahan Sarawak belum lagi mempunyai perancangan untuk memberi elaun bulanan tetap kepada Ahli Majlis hingga ke suatu masa nanti apabila keadaan kewangan kita mengizinkan.

Sekian, terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat IR Lo Khere Chiang, Batu Kitang. YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Terima kasih, Honourable Tuan Speaker. Saya pun ada satu pantun. Mimpi semalam. Dedicated to those who stayed until late last night with us.

Dari Haji Baki sampai Bunga Rampai; Jalan gelap gelita lampu jalan dah pun sampai;

Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Tuai Atai Yang Amat Berhormat CM Abang Jo; Sebab satu lagi projek Walkabout telah dicapai;

Soalan saya adalah 221.

Rural Electrification Scheme (RES) in DUN Batu Kitang (221) YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang to ask the Minister for Utilities: There are approximately 100 applications for Rural Electrification Scheme (RES) in DUN Batu Kitang. What is the present status of these applications? Menteri Muda Elektrik Luar Bandar (YB Dr Haji Abdul Rahman Haji Junaidi): Terima

kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih kepada sahabat saya daripada Batu Kitang. Hebat pantunnya. Tidak pandai saya jawab. Untuk menjawab soalan daripada Yang Berhormat bagi Batu Kitang. For information for Ahli Yang Berhormat for Batu Kitang, all these applicants are located in three villages namely Kapung Betong, Kampung Landeh and Kampung Sebuak which are all have been identified as late applicants and there are all to be late applicant to be connected to the existing Grid and there are now categorized under the new programme under our Ministry which is called under the Additional or Late Applicant Fund (ALAF) programme which will be funded by the Sarawak Government. So another words, ketiga-tiga kampung yang disebut oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat Batu Kitang ini akan dimasukkan dalam program ini untuk dilaksanakan. Terima kasih. YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Thank you Honorable Tuan Speaker. Thank you, Menteri Muda N.4 Pantai Damai. I have two supplementary questions.

(a) When their can get the electricity supply and what is the estimated cost to supply the electricity to all these late applicant?

(b) Just now Yang Berhormat mention about Additional Late Applicant Fund

(ALAF) can why be explain in more detail about ALAF. Menteri Muda Elektrik Luar Bandar (YB Dr Haji Abdul Rahman Haji Junaidi): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih, Yang Berhormat bagi Batu Kitang. Untuk menjawab soalan pertama, permohonan lewat yang melibatkan 100 pemohon di kawasan DUN Batu Kitang ini dijangka akan mendapatkan elektrik mereka di program ALAF ini dalam tempoh dua tahun yang akan datang within next year 2019 and 2020 and the estimated total cost for this electricity supply will be about RM2 Million.


7

Untuk menjawab soalan yang kedua daripada Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Batu Kitang, Additional or Late Applicant Fund (ALAF) adalah satu program baru yang diperkenalkan oleh Kementerian Utiliti bermula pada awal tahun ini. Jadi inilah satu pendekatan Kerajaan Negeri untuk menangani isu-isu yang banyak berlaku di seluruh Negeri Sarawak. Untuk makluman rakan-rakan dalam dewan yang mulia ini, the numbers of question post to the Ministry of Utility about 75% are related to this programme. 75% daripada soalan-soalan yang diterima di Kementerian Utiliti pada persidangan pada kali ini bertanya mengenai isu ini. Iaitu bilangan-bilangan permohonan, rumah-rumah, isi-isi rumah di seluruh negeri Sarawak belum mendapat bekalan elektrik di rumah masing-masing. Jadi, izinkan saya Tuan Speaker untuk mendapatkan sedikit maklumat mengenai program baru ini.

ALAF ini dimulakan pada awal tahun 2018 di Kementerian Utiliti Sarawak. Ianya

melibatkan dua kategori iaitu untuk kawasan luar bandar, only applied to the rural areas yang telah pun dikenal pasti terlibat dalam program Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar (Rural Electrification Scheme) dan kedua ialah mereka dikategorikan sebagai mereka yang tertinggal semasa RES ini dilaksanakan di tempat mereka, nama mereka tercicir, satu. Yang kedua, apabila program RES ini dilaksanakan mereka baru membina rumah, mereka diketegorikan sebagai permohonan lewat, Additional and Late Applicant. Jadi permohonan ini banyak didapati di seluruh Negeri Sarawak dan sehingga pada bulan Oktober pada tahun ini dalam senarai yang kita kumpulkan sudah mencecah angka empat ribu (4,000) permohonan di seluruh Negeri Sarawak.

The supply through ALAF is generally for light tension or LT supply line and service

line to the houses. Jadi, the application can be made through the JKK kampung. Permohonan ini mudah sahaja. Pemohon-pemohon yang terlibat yang dikategorikan sebagai yang lewat atau pun yang tertunggak boleh menghantar permohonan mereka terus kepada JKK kampung masing-masing dan Tuai Rumah atau pun Ketua Kampung, Ketua Kaum akan mengumpulkan senarai permohonan-permohonan ini dan terus diajukan kepada Pejabat Daerah di kawasan masing-masing dan Pegawai Daerah di kawasan masing-masing akan menjalankan tanggungjawab untuk menghantarkan semua senarai-senarai ini ke Kementerian Utiliti apabila senarai ini telah pun dikumpulkan.

Dan akhirnya, program ALAF ini akan berlanjutan sehingga Negeri Sarawak ini kita

dapat mencapai sasaran kita untuk memenuhi tahap membekalkan tenaga elektrik 100% menjelang tahun 2025. So, its a continuous programme and all the applicant can send their application to the District Office to be submitted to our Ministry. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhomat Encik Fazzurudin bin Haji Abdul Rahman, Tupong YB Encik Fazzrudin bin Haji Abdul Rahman: Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Soalan saya nombor 222.

Program Pembangunan Pertanian Di Kawasan DUN Tupong (222) YB Encik Fazzrudin bin Haji Abdul Rahman bertanya kepada Menteri Pemodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah. Ada berapakah Program-program pembangunan pertanian di Kawasan N.6 Tupong yang dalam perancangan atau sedang dilaksanakan? Menteri Muda Pertanian (YB Dr Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Ismail): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih, Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Tupong. Sememangnya Kementerian saya berusaha untuk memajukan bidang pertanian ini di seluruh negeri Sarawak termasuk juga dikawasan DUN N.6 Tupong. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Tupong, terdapat


8

enam program pembangunan pertanian yang sedang dilaksanakan pada tahun ini 2018 iaitu satu program untuk pembangunan industri kelapa, empat program untuk mempelbagaikan tanaman, iaitu tanaman herba dan perubatan, tanaman sayuran sistem berbuka, field crop dan pemeliharaan kelulut, dan satu program untuk pembangunan akuakultur. Manakala terdapat lapan program pertanian dalam perancangan untuk dilaksanakan pada tahun hadapan iaitu dua program pembangunan akuakultur, empat program mempelbagaikan tanaman, tanaman herba dan perubatan, sayuran sistem terbuka, sayuran sistem jejaring dan sayuran sistem bertiga segi dan satu program untuk pembangunan industri buah-buahan. Kita amat berterima kasih kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri kerana telah memperuntukkan bajet yang besar iaitu RM371 juta kepada Kementerian Permodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah pada tahun 2019.

Oleh itu, adalah diharapkan kepada rakyat Sarawak agar menggunakan peluang ini untuk melibatkan diri dalam industri pertanian bagi membantu merealisasikan hasrat Yang Amat Berhormat untuk menjadikan Sarawak sebagai pengeksport bersih, ‘net exporter’ bagi hasil pertanian menjelang tahun 2030. YB Encik Fazzrudin bin Haji Abdul Rahman (Soalan Tambahan): Saya ada dua soalan tambahan Tuan Speaker. Memandangkan Tupong adalah kawasan DUN berada dalam bandar;

(a) Adakah Kerajaan telah mengenalpasti tempat yang aktif atau berpotensi untuk dibangunkan pertanian.

(b) Berapakah nilai-nilai bantuan yang telah diberikan untuk pembangunan

pertanian terutama sekali di kawasan N.6 Tupong. Terima kasih. Menteri Muda Pertanian (YB Dr Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Ismail): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker dan terima kasih sekali lagi, kepada Ahli Yang Berhormat N.6 Tupong. Sememangnya kawasan Yang Berhormat merupakan antara kawasan yang aktif dalam bidang pertanian ini dan banyak kawasan yang melibatkan diri dalam bidang pertanian ini termasuk di Sungai Paroh, Sejijak, Sungai Tengah, kawasan Matang, Batu 11 Jalan Matang dan kawasan Kampung Temenggong serta beberapa kawasan yang lain. Banyak lagi kawasan-kawasan yang berpotensi untuk projek pertanian jangka pendek seperti tanaman sayuran, herba, kelulut, tebu, buah-buahan dan kelapa. Jadi, oleh itu saya berharap agar Yang Berhormat membantu untuk mengenalpasti petani-petani terumatanya para belia untuk melibatkan diri dalam bidang pertanian ini terutamanya dalam pembangunan pertanian di dalam industri 4.0 physician farming, smart farming dan menggunakan teknologi IOT. Untuk menjawab soalan yang kedua, pada tahun 2016 hingga 2018, jumlah nilai bantuan yang disalurkan kepada 47 orang peserta dikawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri Tupong adalah berjumlah RM492,740.00 dan untuk tahun hadapan diperuntukkan sejumlah RM598,150.00 yang akan memberi manfaat kepada seramai 34 orang peserta. Terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Allan Siden Gramong, Machan YB Encik Allan Siden Gramong: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. My question is 223

Proposed Road from Manalun to Ulu Poi Phase II (223) YB Encik Allan Siden Gramong bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Infrastruktur dan Pengangkutan. What is the status of the proposed road from Manalun to Ulu Poi phase 1 which was approved two years ago under KKLW? Menteri Muda Pengangkutan (YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil): Thank you Tuan Speaker and thank you Member for Machan. For the information of Ahli Yang Berhormat for Machan, phase 1 of the road from Manalun to Ulu Poi has actually been completed. It was completed on the 30th Mac 2014. It was implemented by the Department of Irrigation Department (DID) under the Ministry of Local Government at the cost of RM44 million and this road is about 10km under JKR R1 tar sealed road. Now, what we are doing now is phase 2 which I think you are interested about and phase 2 is we are now doing detail design and the schedule to tender it by January 2019. YB Encik Allan Siden Gramong: (Supplementary question) Thank you, Honourable Assistant Minister. I have two supplementary questions.

(a) What is the estimated costs of the propose road to Manalong to Ulu Poi Phase 2?

(b) How long is the construction period?

Thank you. Menteri Muda Pengangkutan (YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Thank you, for the supplementary questions Machan. The project costs estimated was about 15 million project ceiling and we are now in the details design stage also under JKR (R1 task 0) including 1 concrete bridge which is about 72 meter spent the concrete bridge and we hope to target the completion in 15 months once we have open the tender in January 2019. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Yussibnosh Balo, Telian. YB Encik Yussibnosh Balo: Terima kasih Tuan Speaker.

Lompatlah katak lompat, Lompatlah tinggi-tinggi,

Sampai tamanku lompat, Inshaallah hari ini juga dapat rezeki.

Soalan saya 224.

Pendapatan Daripada Hasil Bumi (224) YB Encik Yussibnosh Balo bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Bandar dan Sumber Asli. Sebagai sebuah negeri Kerajaan yang kaya dengan hasil bumi, Sarawak perlu mendapat manfaat daripada hasil berkenaan. Apakah langkah-langkah Kerajaan untuk mengawal dan mempertingkatkan pendapatan daripadanya? Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Bin Salleh): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih bagi Yang Berhormat


10

bagi Telian. Untuk makluman bagi Yang Berhormat bagi Telian, Kerajaan Negeri mengawal dan mengutip hasil bumi yang diperolehi daripada pelbagai sumber seperti kuari, tanah pasir, batu kerikil, gas dan minyak, seperti yang telah kita dimaklumi, seperti yang telah diperkenalkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dalam belanjawan tiga hari yang lepas menerusi 5% sales tax, dari air, sumber-sumber hutan serta produk-produk berasaskan sumber bukan kayu seperti yang termaktub di dalam peruntukan Kanun Tanah Negeri, 198, Chapter 51, Ordinan Mineral 204, Chapter 56 dan Forest Ordinan 2015 Chapter 71. Jadi, dengan pindaan Oil Mining Ordinance 1958, Kerajaan Negeri dijangka akan dapat menambah kutipan hasil daripada industri minyak dan gas.

Kerajaan melalui Jabatan Tanah dan Survei mengutip hasil yang diperolehi melalui royalti bahan batuan, fee lesen-lesen dan cukai tanah manakala Jabatan Hutan Sarawak pula mengutip royalti dan sales yang diperolehi daripada hasil-hasil hutan. Panelti atau kompaun akan dikutip sekiranya ada pelanggaran peraturan terhadap syarat-syarat lesen. Langkah-langkah kawalan dan penambahbaikan prosedur kerja yang merangkumi strategi 4M iaitu mencegah, mengawal, menyelia dan menguatkuasa yang dilaksanakan sehingga ke hari ini telah memberi kesan yang positif dalam mempertingkatkan punggutan royalti. Pada masa yang sama ia mengurangkan aktiviti-aktiviti haram berkaitan dengan aktiviti perlombongan dan pembalakan. Terima kasih. YB Encik Yussibnosh Balo: (Soalan tambahan) Tuan Speaker. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan. Mukah mempunyai potensi sebagai sebuah daerah untuk pengeluaran arang batu.

(a) Apakah prosidur dan syarat untuk memohon kawasan-kawasan yang berpotensi untuk perlombongan arang batu ini?

(b) Kita baru difahamkan bahawa satu prosidur baru iaitu tenement baru telah

digubal. Bilakah ianya akan dikuatkuasa dan berapakah jumlah tenement mineral dan lesen kuari yang telah dikeluarkan oleh Kerajaan dan jumlah keseluruhan royalti yang telah dikutip?

Terima kasih. Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Bin Salleh): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih Yang Berhormat bagi Telian. Untuk menjawap soalan pertama, iaitu prosidur atau syarat untuk memohon kawasan-kawasan berpotensi untuk perlombongan di Mukah seperti lazimnya aktiviti termasuk arang batu adalah amat kompleks dan teknikal. Susulan itu sesiapa yang berminat menjalankan aktiviti ini adalah dinasihatkan untuk berhubung terus dengan Jabatan Tanah dan Survei Bahagian Mukah bagi mendapatkan maklumat terperinci. Walau bagaimanapun, antara lain kateria-kateria utama pemohon adalah seperti berikut:

i. Hanya Syarikat atau Badan Berkanun atau Badan Pertubuhan-Pertubuhan yang berdaftar secara sah dengan undang-undang bertulis yang dikuatkuasakan ini;

ii. Modal berbayar minima RM1 juta untuk syarikat bumiputera dan RM5 juta

untuk syarikat bukan bumiputera; dan iii. Pemohon atau rakan kongsi hendaklah mempunyai keupayaan, kepakaran,

pengetahuan-pengetahuan dan pengalaman dalam pengurusan pembangunan dan pengoperasian lombong.


11

Untuk soalan kedua. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat arahan dan prosidur kerja Mineral digubal pada 2 Disember 2014 dan diluluskan oleh Setiausaha Lembaga Pengurusan Mineral Negeri (SMMA) pada 31 Mac 2015. Arahan ini telah berkuatkuasa pada 1 Mei 2015, dan seterusnya setakat September tahun 2018 sebanyak 62 inamen mineral dan 66 lesen kuari yang telah dikeluarkan di seluruh negeri Sarawak manakala jumlah royalti yang telah dikutip oleh Kerajaan Negeri bagi kutipan royalti mineral ialah sebanyak RM93,802,231.34 dan lesen kuari adalah sebanyak RM93,706,584.68. Sekian, terima kasih. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Tasik Biru, YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep. YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker.

Bau banyak aktiviti kuari, Pecah batu yang berkualiti,

Hari ini mau tanya Kerajaan Negeri, Hal-hal mengenai lori.

Restriction for usage of Heavy-Duty-Vehicles on Pan Borneo Road

(225) YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep bertanya kepada Menteri Muda Pengangkutan, YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil. Now we have seen big, large trucks at their maximum loading up to 40-60 metric tonnes to deliver materials for the Pan Borneo Highway Project. What happens when this project has been completed, whether these lorries are still allowed to run on our normal road which were built, not to cater for these huge loading vehicles? Menteri Muda Pengangkutan (YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil): Tuan Speaker, saya tidak ada pantun, orang Bidayuh tak boleh pantun … (Laughter)…, dia punya L sama juga (Laughter).

For the information of Ahli Yang Berhormat for Tasik Biru, currently there are 1,044 out of 1,307 lorries used by the Work Packages Contractors and they are registered with Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) and they have fulfilled the requirements for the Weight Restriction Order, 2003. And for those lorries which are not registered with the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ), they are permitted to use only in the construction site that means they cannot come out of the construction site and bring in materials for any work packages is allowed. However, such lorries are not allowed to deliver materials which is outside the construction site. As long as these lorries comply with the said Weight Restriction Order, they are permitted to be use on public roads during and after the completion of the Pan Borneo Highway. YB Dato Henry Harry Anak Jinep: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Asisstant Minister untuk jawapan, five years ago to drive up to Bau from Batu Kitang it would took about 20 to 25 minutes, now if we were to drive up from Batu Kitang to Bau it may take 30 to 45 minutes, there is always a long queue of big lorries with the heavy loaded of good quality of stones.

(a) Yang Berhormat Assistant Minister would you agree that these roads be upgraded to a duo carriage way?

(b) With the completion of this Pan Borneo Project, will the Government allow

these lorries to run on the State roads because our State road do not cater for this kind of burden, I mean heavy loaded lorries?


12

Thank you. Menteri Muda Pengangkutan (YB Datuk Dr Jerip Anak Susil): Tuan Speaker, thank you for the second question and supplementary questions from Honourable Member for Tasik Biru. The first question is whether there is any plans to upgrade the road from Batu Kitang right up to Bau? We will look into the situation and whe time goes by we will update the Honourable Member from Tasik Biru. On the second question whether you allow for these lorries to be around, big lorry and whether these lorries are allowing in our State? I just want to remind the Honourable Member from Tasik Biru that our State road are actually design to cater for the excel loading on specified Weight Restriction Order for 2003 and after completion all these State roads shall be registered under the what we call, MARRIS that is the Malaysian Road Record Information System and any registered road under MARRIS are actual entitle for normal routine, periodic and emergency maintenance which are carried out by JKR. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Encik Mohammad Razi bin Sitam, Saribas. YB Encik Mohammad Razi bin Sitam: Terima kasih Tuan Speaker, saya nak pantun juga pagi ini:

Tiap-tiap hari bangun awal pagi, Awal pagi pergi bersenam,

Akhirnya soalan saya muncul hari ini, Soalan saya soalan nombor 26.

Terima kasih.

Usahawan Industri Burung Walet di Sarawak (226) YB Encik Mohamad Razi Bin Sitam bertanya kepada Menteri Pembangunan Bandar dan Sumber Asli: Apakah pelan Kerajaan untuk membangunkan usahan industri burung walet di Negeri Sarawak? Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Hj. Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih YB bagi Saribas, saya colop dolok pantun pagi tok terus ke jawapan yang telah dikemukakan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Saribas, untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, Kerajaan melalui Jabatan Hutan Sarawak menggalakkan para pengusaha dan penternak burung walet untuk mendapatkan lesen yang sah bagi menternak, menjual, mengeksport dan mengimport sarang burung walet. Ini selaras dengan peruntukan di bawah Wild Life Protection Ordinance, 1998 dan Wild Life Protection (Edible Bird’s Nests) Rules, 1998 juga dan Garis Panduan Penternakan Burung Walet di Negeri Sarawak bagi memastikan mereka mematuhi piawaian yang telah ditetapkan oleh pasaran. Terima kasih. YB Encik Mohammad Razi bin Sitam: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Saya ada dua soalan tambahan.

(a) Berapakah jumlah lesen untuk mengutip sarang burung yang telah dikeluarkan dan dimanakah pengusaha ini memasarkan sarang burung mereka?


13

(b) Apakah tindakan Kerajaan terhadap para penternak burung walet yang didapati menyalahi peraturan yang disediakan termasuk tidak mempunyai lesen?

Sekian, terima kasih. Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Terima kasih Tuan Speaker, terima kasih Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Saribas. Sehingga 30 September tahun ini sebanyak 535 lesen pengusaha rumah burung walet telah dikeluarkan iaitu:

i. 130 di Kota Samarahan; ii. Sarikei 111; iii. Betong 100; iv. Mukah 88; v. Bintulu 35; vi. Sibu 25; vii. Kuching 19; viii. Miri 12; ix. Sri Aman 4; x. Limbang 2; dan xi. Kapit 2.

Bagi lesen gua pula, sebanyak 106 lesen telah dikeluarkan iaitu:

i. Niah 51; ii. Baram 38; iii. Serian 5; dan iv. Bintulu 12.

Kebanyakan burung walet dieksport ke negara China dan di pasaran domestik dengan harga lebih kurang three to four thousand per kilogramme raw. Untuk soalan kedua, Jabatan Hutan telah menasihati pemilik rumah burung walet tanpa lesen untuk menanggalkan speaker, bukan Speaker Dewan, tweeter di rumah burung walet … (Laughter…). Tuan Speaker: You better make it clear. Make it very clear, Ahli Yang Berhormat. Menteri Muda Perancangan Bandar, Pentadbiran Tanah dan Alam Sekitar (YB Datu Haji Len Talif Salleh): Speaker di burung walet, bukan Speaker di Dewan ini. Untuk menggunakan, memanggil burung-burung walet dan memberi surat amaran untuk memberhentikan operasi haram tersebut. Selain daripada itu, agensi-agensi lain seperti Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan, Jabatan Tanah dan Survei dan PDRM yang mempunyai tanggungan penguatkuasaan terhadap perubahan pelan rumah, status tanah serta pencemaran bunyi dan persekitaran yang mana kesalahan itu tidak dinyatakan dalam Wildlife Protection Ordinance, 1998 turut dilibatkan. Sekian, terima kasih Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Ir Aidel bin Lariwoo, Sadong Jaya. YB Ir Aidel bin Lariwoo: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker.

Penjanaan Pendapatan Melalui PETROS (227) YB Ir Aidel bin Lariwoo bertanya kepada Ketua Menteri. Berapakah jumlah simpanan gas Negeri Sarawak dan bagaimana Kerajaan Negeri melalui PETROS dapat mengeksploitasinya untuk penjanaan pendapatan kepada Negeri Sarawak? Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah bin Haji Saidol): Terima kasih di atas soalan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Sadong Jaya dan juga untuk perhatian Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri ini. Kepada Ahli Yang Berhormat yang ingin mengetahui, sebenarnya banyak soalan-soalan sebelum ini yang tidak naik tetapi PETROS appreciate if you can direct your queries dengan PETROS cause the interest with regards to this apa yang berlaku dalam PETROS telah dibangkitkan beberapa Ahli Yang Berhormat dalam soalan-soalan sebelum ini tetapi tidak dikeluarkan. Tapi tidak apa, boleh ajukan soalan terus kepada PETROS untuk mendapat jawapan.

Untuk perhatian Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Sadong Jaya, Sarawak mempunyai 52.7% rizab Negara yang diketahui atau pun discovered reserved dan merupakan pengeluar gas asli terbesar di Malaysia iaitu pada 52.89 TSCF iaitu Trillions Standards Cubic Feet daripada jumlah keluaran Negara pada 2017 dan maklumat ini adalah daripada sumber: Malaysia Natural Gas Industry: Annual Review, 2017 yang dipublished by Malaysian Gas Association

Negeri ini juga merupakan penyumbang terbesar melalui aliran pendapatan rizab gas tersebut daripada loji tahap, bertahap dunia di Bintulu seperti MLNG dan Shell MDS.

Untuk menambah penyertaan Negeri dan pendapatan daripada rizab gas, PETROS diberi mandat oleh Kerajaan Negeri untuk memainkan peranan sebagai pengawal selia bersama dan pemain aktif Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) gas Negeri ini. PETROS akan memperkukuhkan pengawasan sumber-sumber asli melalui Strategi Jaringan Bersepadu atau pun Integrated Network Strategy bagi mengimbangi bekalan Huluan dengan penggunaan Hiliran dan pendapatan yang disasarkan.

Pada masa ini, PETROS menyasarkan penyertaan di dalam Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) untuk beberapa aliran penjanaan pendapatan di Sarawak. Buat masa ini sasaran utama ialah PSC yang sekarang ini dikawal yang dijalankan sepenuhnya oleh PETRONAS. YB Ir Aidel bin Lariwoo: (Soalan Tambahan) Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Menteri Muda di atas jawapan mengenai PETROS tadi. Tuan Speaker, from the information I gathered, Sarawak used to be the largest gas reserved in the world after Qatar and now I just want to make some comparison, and now Qatar after the discovery of gas at 70 late 80 is the richest country in world now, because of the way they manage their gas of exploration and gas revenue. So my question is what is the estimated moneytary value of the reserved gas in Sarawak and how long the gas reserved will last?

And my second question is on the perusahaan sederhana SME Oil and Gas, how much is the estimated generated revenue from the state participation through PETROS in the oil and gas industry and when will this be realised? Thank you. Menteri Muda Hal Ehwal Korporat (YB Encik Abdullah bin Haji Saidol): Tuan Speaker, saya yakin perkara yang dibangkitkan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Sadong Jaya, his observation of Qatar and its reserved are equally shared by all Ahli Yang Berhormat dalam


15

Dewan dan kita juga berhasrat dan inspirasi kita kearah itu. Untuk menjawab soalan Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Sadong Jaya, the oil and gas industry use the standard of reserved to production ratio atau pun R&P ratio to indicate rate of deflection. The State discovered reserved is estimate to supply for the next 15 to 17 years on an annual production rate of 5000 million standard cubic feet per day. Ini based on discovered reserve. Yang undiscovered, tak tahu lagilah.

Hence, it is imperative therefore that the State melalui PETROS, through PETROS and enforce its rights and stewardship of our oil and gas resource.

Dan soalan seterusnya, PETROS roles and aspired business portfolio is underpinned by the State desire to increase the revenue contributions from oil and gas to the State revenue and economy.

The State present revenue from oil and gas resources of about three to four billion

and the State maintain our incremental inspiration target of 20%. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, question time is up. Ya? YB Encik Chiew Chiu Sing: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. Day before the Honourable Member for Batu Kitang, he had uttered very unparliamentary word in this House was recorded as in the November 7th, Hansard page 41, first paragraph the last line and I quote “equal rights, equal status, integrity and all the bullshit.” Could I ask the Honourable Member if he could kindly retract those unparliamentary words Tuan Speaker? Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Which part is unparliamentary? YB Encik Chiew Chiu Sing: Bullshit. (Laughter) Sorry, the last, the last two words of the last line of the paragraph in page 41. Tuan Speaker: Member for Batu Kitang, did you say it or just wrongly recorded? YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Yes, thank you Honourable Member. Tuan Speaker: Did you utter... YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Thank you … Tuan Speaker: It’s recorded? YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Ya, is recorded. But then no, no, I mean I did not mention bullshit, it was wrongly recorded. Tuan Speaker: Wrongly recorded? YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Ya, well... can we... (interruption…) Tuan Speaker: Let him answer, let him answer. YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Yes, can we change that bullshit which was wrongly recorded to rubbish. (Laughter) Yes.


16

Tuan Speaker: But you said it? YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: Yes. Tuan Speaker: So you withdraw it? YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: No, I didn’t say, I didn’t say bullshit. Tuan Speaker: You withdraw it? Ok. YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: I didn’t say it. I am a gentleman. I didn’t say it. I didn’t say bullshit. The typist must have listened it wrongly. No, no, no, the typist has listened wrongly. I didn’t hear it. We’ll just change it to rubbish. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: You mean to say Honourable Member, a slip of the tongue is not the fall of the mind? (Laughter) YB Ir Lo Khere Chiang: You are right Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker: You withdraw. You withdraw since it is recorded. Ok, ok, you withdraw. Withdraw. Withdraw. Member for Pelawan. You look over zealouslah. (Laughter) YB Encik David Wong Kee Woan: Actually we are all parliamentarian. We have to be gentlemen or not, if I say something wrong, I just withdraw. We don’t try to argue on the point whether it’s a slip of the mind or slip of the tongue, isn’t it Tuan Speaker? That’s what we call gentleman, ok? Parliamentarian, ya. Thank you.

SAMBUNGAN PERBAHASAN ATAS BACAAN KALI YANG KEDUA RANG UNDANG-UNDANG PERBEKALAN (2019), 2018 DAN

USUL UNTUK MERUJUK RESOLUSI ANGGARAN PEMBANGUNAN BAGI PERBELANJAAN TAHUN 2019

Tuan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, under Standing Order 31(8) I hereby impose 15 minutes for any Member who wishes to speak today. I shall call upon the Honourable Member for Bukit Semuja. Proceed. YB Encik John Anak Ilus: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. First of all, I would like to thank Tuan Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak and to join my fellow colleagues in this august House to debate on the Supply Bill (2019), 2018 that was presented by the Honourable Chief Minister on the first day of this sitting. Secondly, I would like to congratulate the Honourable Chief Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg ‘di atas penganugerahan Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Pembangunan Ekonomi’ by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak recently. In this Sitting, here in this august House, we had witnessed four important matters which is very pertinent and meaningful to us, Sarawakians. First, the Budget of RM11.914 billion is the highest ever for the State, is again development biased and rural focussed, where rural development itself, is expected to get the biggest of RM6.049 billion or 67% as compare to the last two years. On the other hand,


17

as we looked at the Federal Budget 2019, Sarawak generally was allocated with a merely RM4.3 billion, where our Federal Ministers admitted that they did not know what the details was. Second, the introduction of 5% Sales Tax on petroleum products with effect from the 1st January 2019, is definitely will increase our State Revenue for our future. Third, the establishment of the State Consultative Committee is very historical and eventful to the State as to ensure our representation is very consistent, holistic and inclusive. By doing so, I foresee that we Sarawakians will be united, well represented and having one voice to the Federal Government to get what is supposed to be ours under the said MA63. Fourth, the introduction of a new policy whereby every new-born Sarawakian child will be given one-off incentive of RM1,000.00 irrespective of their ethnicity, religious beliefs and social status. With this policy, young parents or parents to be will have a peace in mind with regards to the education of their children in future. Tuan Speaker, before I go further with my speech, I would like to thanks the State Government for all the development projects that has been implemented either big or small in my constituency N.23 Bukit Semuja in the past years. All the assistances and every helps be it physical or non-physical, I say big thank you. However, what saddened me is that, quite a number of the Federal funded projects, PIA/PIAS as an example was cancelled right after the new Governmnet took over the Federal Government. Assistance even giving water tanks, was stopped too. Thus, I hope our Sarawak Government will make an effort to re-look and re-evaluate at all these cancelled projects and assistance for the benefit of the people in general.

Tuan Speaker, there are a few things that matters related direct or indirectly to my constituency Bukit Semuja which I would like to highlight in this House. I hope the relevant authority, agency or department concern will look into it.

Roads Maintenance Under MARRIS

Serian District Council as of 31st October 2018 had received a total of 167 applications for the various form of projects, physical or service in nature. Be it for roads, street lighting, bridges, drains, grass cutting and scavenging, rubbish related works and many others. However, road maintenance, repairs and upgrading to individual houses has contributed 88% or 147 of the total number received while 12% or 20 are others that is other than the above.

However, our Local Council had their hand tied by the conditions and the guidelines under the Garis Panduan Penggunaan MARRIS bagi Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan that among others:

Dikhususkan untuk penyelenggaraan jalan utama dalam sesebuah kampung atau penempatan semula serta perumahan di bawah pentadbiran PBT yang berkaitan, tidak termasuk jalan masuk ke rumah-rumah individu atau kawasan milik persendirian; dan

Prinsip utama penggunaan peruntukan MARRIS adalah untuk penyelenggaraan, bermaksud tiada kerja naik taraf atau bina baru dibenarkan dibiayai menggunakan peruntukan ini. Sebagai contoh, hanya jalan-jalan yang berbatu hanya dibenarkan untuk ditabur dan diratakan dengan batu-batu tanpa diturap that is naik taraf.


18

Looking at these figures and the guidelines, I am very concerned that our rural people will not be able to enjoy the basic necessities and comfort as compared to those in the urban. Thus, I urged the agency concerned to look into these problems and to design an effective and efficient program that include the financial needs to all our local council.

NCR Land Perimeter Survey and Individual Lot Survey under Section 6 and Section 18 of the State Land Code.

Now let me touch on the issue of NCR land development initiative. It is saddened to

note that the Federal Governmnet no longer allocate funds for the survey of NCR land under the Program Khas Bumiputera Sarawak. The progress of the perimeter survey and individual survey lot has also been very slow and frustrating.

In the Bidayuh area for example, DBNA has taken the initiative to do NCR land documentation since 2007.

To date, more than 100 villages have completed their NCR land documentation and a list of about 50 villages have been submitted to Land and Survey Department applying for the survey of individual lots under Section 6 of the State Land Code. These villages have already cleared all boundary issues and disputes among themselves. Some of these villages are under my constituency N. 23 Bukit Semuja.

In view that the Federal Government is no longer to provide funds to continue with the NCR land and survey work under Program Khas Bumiputera Sarawak, I sincerely hope that the State Government will come up with the funding to ensure continuity. I would like to know also how many villages in my constituency DUN N.23 Bukit Semuja has been approved for perimeter survey and how long will it take for Land and Survey Department to do the individual lot survey after the perimeter survey has been completed and gazetted.

I hope the Land and Survey Department will give priority to this long outstanding issue that have been raised in many occasions in this DUN by many other Honourable Members.

Schools and Education Related Issue

Tuan Speaker, again, I raise in this august House, on the three schools namely SK Lebor Remun, SK Pangkalan Sorah and SK Riih Daso that has been classified as dilapidated school which require total replacement or rebuilt. So I want to know what is the progress as of now?

Secondly, again I wanted to know the progress of SMK Serian No. 2 after the second site has been identified.

Thirdly, I was told that the Chairman, Board of Management, SK St. Teresa, Serian, has written to the Director of Education, Sarawak, through his letter dated on the 30th June 2018, that by next year, 2019, the intake or admission for Primary One classes will be stopped due to unsafe condition of the school buildings as being reported several times by the relevant authority. So, gradually in the next five years, the school will be closed.

Now, the question is what the short term remedial and where will the education department will put the new students that are supposed to enter Year One in this, SK St. Teresa Serian, school? Second, what is the progress and development of SK Sri Sadong which is supposed to cater the pupils from this school?


19

Medical and Health Facilities

Once again, I would like to highlight in this august House on the much awaited the Grade Three polyclinic, Serian and may I know what is the development as of now?

The present Serian Hospital, the sick, irrespective be young and old, would crammed as early as 6.00 a.m. every day at the service counter just to get the queuing ticket to seek medical treatment. The same thing also happens at the pharmacy counter. So please, speed up the polyclinic project.

Other Development and Issues

Pan Borneo Project

Tuan Speaker, I am happy to note that ongoing Pan Borneo Project in my

constituency is going on very well despite the uneasiness, inconveniences and problems the people are facing, water supply especially when the water pipe is affected. However, with the close cooperation among the public and the players. I believed it will be completed as schedule and of course I will also pray so that the present Federal department will continue the project without any interruption.

Flood Prone Areas Villages from Tebakang, Sorak, Selabi, Serian Hulu, Serian Hilir, Mungu Limo and other areas located along Batang Sadong are restless and having sleepless night fearing any prolonged rain fall especially during landas season that causes frequent flood, landslides and other related natural disasters. By mentioning that, I hope the agencies concerned will look into this problem and for the information of the Ministry concerned, I have written to the Ministry on the matter related on river maintenance like cleaning, deepening and also diversion is where necessary few months ago. As of now, I have not received any respond.

Telecommunication and Internet Issue I am very impressed with what was the explained by the Assistant Minister (Corporate Affair) and the Honourable Member for N.42 Semop during the question and answer sessions few days ago, on the matters related to telecommunication towers and services. Sad to note in some areas in my constituency where there are towers with satellite disc but I noticed one or two were without any, and there are pocket of areas with totally cut off or totally no signal especially at Tangga/Tamba Cina area, along the second one is along the road between Kampung Labak Tungan to Kampung Lanchang area, part of Bedup area, part of Rasau area, areas are Kampung Triboh to Kampung Remun and of course, along the road to Kampung Merakai and its surrounding areas. To embrace the highly anticipated Digital Economy and activity related to it, we need high speed and real time services to be very effective and efficient. Thus, we also need good players as well as service providers. Thus again, I urged the State Government to be self dependent and to form our own service provider for our own.


20

Late Application of BELB I would like to request to this Ministry, to speed up the approval of late applications with regard to BELB (Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar) projects especially all the kampungs, Longhouses, Tamans, and other housing extensions in Bukit Semuja that has been submitted to the Ministry.

Treated Water Supply Again, I would like to mention here again on the problem of water supply in Kampung Merakai, Serian. Being surrounded by oil palm plantations and depended solely on river, well and rain harvesting. I appeal once again, though the project was approved with the cost of not less than RM7 million in 2017 to be implemented this year, but I have not seen any further development as of now.

New Initiated Proposed Project Tuan Speaker, now, I would like to touch on three newly initiated proposed projects for further develop this semi-urban constituency for a greater Bukit Semuja, Serian and the State as well.

Tebakang Old Town Waterfront Project One of the few oldest town in Serian and still standing strong, popular among the local and outsiders with fresh udang galah. A row with two blocks of double storey shop building, made of woods and similar to that of our cowboy town of Siniawan, located at the bank of Batang Sadong River. A Government building and office that housed “Up River Agent” and JKR which is near to collapse was built not far from these shops. At the opposite bank is the Kampung Tebakang Melayu, while the old bazaar mainly owned by the Chinese but now surrounded by a Bidayuh Kampung, the Tebakang Bidayuh or Tebakang Dayak. The waterfront is used as the finishing point for the Batang Sadong Rafting Challenge yearly.

Road Project to Kampung Merakai As I mentioned earlier is surrounded by oil palm plantation and the only road available is through plantation. The only kampung in this constituency that does not enjoy proper roads and treated water supply. As for the electricity, supply through Grid System was only available at the end of 2016 and during landas season, the kampung is totally cut off, usually longer than the other flood prone area due to the low lying area located further down river near to Gedong town. A primary school, SK Merakai is located built to the kampung.

Bridges First, the wooden bridge at Sungai Seroban is one of the three bridges along the main road to two kampungs; Kampung Ampungan and Kampung Sebangkoi in Tarat Constituency that need urgent attention and action from the relevant authority. The condition is very bad that an iron post was erected to support the present structure. Secondly, I would like to propose in this House that a concrete bridge to be built across Sungai Sadong river located near to Kampung Sorak Melayu to shortened the travelling time without going through the ever crowded Serian town, from Selabi-Mantung Road to Serian Tebedu-Mongkos Road and vice versa. It will also open up new area within and around Sorak and Selabi area and to connect to the present Kampung Sorak Melayu Road. It may be also … (Interruption…)


21

Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Bukit Semuja, you have one minute to conclude. YB Encik John Anak Ilus: Ok, thank you. It is also very useful during landas season since these areas are among the few that are flood prone area. Tuan Speaker, before I conclude, the upgrading of Serian from district to a division in October 2015, I believed the District Office and the Resident Office had come up with the proposal on the community leader’s post, together with the proposed new areas and boundaries to meet the current needs and demand. Thus, the request to establish the new post of Temenggong for the Malay community, Pemanca for the Iban and few more Penghulus have yet to be known. I hope the agency concern will look into this very seriously as soon as possible. Once again, I would like thank all the relevant agencies, civil servants both the State and Federal, Local Authorities and many other who are in one way or another are very supportive and helpful in all the engagement made. In this close rapport, espirit de corp and teamwork is highly appreciated and I am looking forward for further engagement in years ahead. Congratulations also to Tuan Speaker and his team for the efficiency and professionalism in handling this Sitting from the very first day. To all the Honourable Members and others who are here in this Dewan, Selamat Menyambut Hari Maulidur Rasul to all our Muslim friends, Merry Christmas to all the Christians friends and Happy New Year 2019 to all. To conclude, I beg to support this Motion. Thank you. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Jemoreng. YB Dato’ Murshid DiRaja Dr Juanda Bin Jaya: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Selamat pagi, salam sejahtera. Tuan Speaker, saya ingin merakamkan ucapan terima kasih atas peluang yang diberikan kepada saya menyertai perbahasan ke atas Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan, (2019), 2018. Suka saya mulakan perbahasan saya dengan menyampaikan ucapan penghargaan untuk Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Ketua Menteri atas Bajet 2019 yang ternyata terus fokus kepada pembangunan dan memberikan keutamaan untuk luar bandar. Sebanyak 76% untuk perbelanjaan pembangunan, manakala hanya 24% untuk perbelanjaan mengurus. Ia bajet bersejarah untuk Sarawak, ia juga adalah bajet yang sihat dan seimbang. Banyak yang telah diperkatakan oleh Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat termasuk daripada pihak pembangkang yang memuji bajet ini. Maka tidak perlu saya ulangi di sini. Ujian yang turut datang daripada semua pihak dalam dewan terhadap bajet ini membawa satu aspirasi baru kepada Sarawak iaitu setelah 9 Mei 2018, semua pihak di Sarawak hendaklah berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk membangunkan Sarawak. Semua sedar bahawa kehendak asasi rakyat perlu dipenuhi. Mereka yang berada pada tampuk amanah sebagai Kerajaan mesti bertanggungjawab kepada rakyat sama ada mereka adalah Kerajaan peringkat negeri, apatah lagi Kerajaan di peringkat pusat. Sekarang semua sudah menyedari bahawa amanah yang dipikulkan oleh rakyat yang memangkah nama mereka di atas kertas undi itu adalah suatu amanah yang amat berat. Ia bukan sekadar untuk menang pilihan raya. Bukan sekadar untuk membentuk Kerajaan, tetapi lebih daripada itu. Ia adalah amanah besar yang menunggu semua yang menang apabila menjadi Kerajaan hendaklah benar-benar menjadi Kerajaan rakyat,


22

Kerajaan yang membela kepentingan dan kemaslahatan rakyat. Kerana itu saya percaya Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Abang Jo setelah mengambil alih tampuk Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak daripada arwah Pehin Sri Adenan menyedari beban yang ditinggalkan oleh Pehin Sri Taib dan Pehin Sri Adenan adalah beban yang amat berat. Menjadi Kerajaan bukan perkara yang mudah, ia amat sukar kerana sedikit sahaja kelemahan ia akan membawa bala dan kutukan. Sebaliknya banyak kebaikan yang dilakukan pun bukanlah untuk mendapat pujian ramai kerana melaksanakan kebaikan itu adalah tugas Kerajaan sebagaimana tugasan seorang bapa yang mesti menjaga kebajikan dan kemaslahatan anak-anaknya. Tuan Speaker, saya tahu Yang Amat Berhormat Abang Jo cukup tahu apa itu Sarawak. Bagaimana Negeri ini dilahirkan. Saya masih ingat beliau bercerita kepada saya bahawa pada hari ayahanda beliau, Tuan Yang Terutama yang pertama Gabenor, Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg memasuki Astana pada 13 September 1963, beliau masih ingat bendera Union Jack masih berkibar di sana hinggalah sampai 16 September 1963 bendera baru Sarawak yang merdeka dikibarkan megah di atas Astana Sarawak. Maksudnya beliau mengikuti dengan dekat tumbesaran Negeri ini dari hari yang pertama hingga hari ini. Tambahan pula Gabenor yang pertama itu Tun Abang Haji Openg adalah salah seorang penurun tandatangan pembentukan Malaysia. Maka, tidak hairanlah apabila Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri bercakap tentang Sarawak dan hak-hak yang terhakis, beliau tahu fakta dan isi perut kandungan perjanjian itu. Beliau tahu dimanakah ubat dan baja yang perlu ditabur agar Malaysia yang wujud ini kekal gagah bersatu padu, sama rata, sama rasa dengan Sarawak. 55 tahun usia Negara ini, pelbagai pancaroba, pelbagai pengalaman. Saya teringat ucapan arwah Tok Nan berkaitan dengan tajuk ‘What If Tunku Abdul Rahman Did Not Formed Malaysia?’ Tok Nan menyebut betapa mundurnya Sarawak kala itu yang ditinggalkan oleh penjajah. Ancaman komunis yang melanda dunia, teori domino yang bergerak dari arah Indo-China, jiran-jiran Sarawak dan Sabah yang mahu membaham Negeri yang mahu merdeka dengan konfrontasi dan pelbagai cabaran lagi. Pembentukan Malaysia jadi pilihan ketika itu. Ini realiti dan sejarah yang tidak boleh diubah. Ia perlu disebut kerana apabila kita ingin melihat kehadapan, kita perlu tahu dari mana kita perlu bergerak. Bagaimana masalah boleh timbul dan sama-sama kita cari jalan penyelesaian. Tuan Speaker, bila membabitkan masa depan Negara bangsa, kita mesti ketepikan retorik politik kita. Kita mesti sama-sama melihat kehadapan, yang terbaik ialah semua hendaklah berusaha menjadi juara dan pemenang bagi membawa Negeri ini maju ke hadapan. Jadikan yang lepas itu sebagai panduan dan sejarah yang mesti dipelajari. Tidak usah ungkit banyak sangat kerana ia bikin sakit hati. Lepas sakit hati apa yang kita dapat? Adalah lebih baik kita lihat kehadapan. Baiki apa yang kita mampu. Orang yang suka ungkit kesilapan masa lalu adalah orang yang lemah. Suka menuding jari kepada orang lain, dia lupa empat jari lagi terkena batang hidungnya sendiri. Kerana itu saya rasa amat bahagia pada hari Selasa lalu, 6 November 2018, apabila Dewan yang mulia ini sebulat suara bersetuju agar Dewan ini menjadi pemutus terhadap apa sahaja keputusan berkaitan semakan terhadap Perjanjian Malaysia 1963. Ini membuktikan semua mahu membela Sarawak. Semua mahu Sarawak yang bermaruah, semua mahu berbakti kepada Ibu Pertiwiku, Sarawak Negeri tumpah darah kita. Demi membela Sarawak, Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri mengambil tindakan yang cukup bijaksana sejak hari pertama mengambil alih beban tugas sebagai Ketua Menteri. Bina Sarawak yang maju, bawa Sarawak ke era digital tanpa melupakan kawasan pedalaman kerana pedalaman itulah Sarawak. Maka kerana itu beliau mengambil langkah melaksanakan segala hak Sarawak selaras dengan kehendak undang-undang dan perlembagaan. Di antaranya ialah berkaitan hak Sarawak terhadap galian dan hasil buminya. Itu hak Sarawak. Bagaimana sekalipun rakyat dan anak Sarawak berhak


23

menikmati hasil buminya. Maka beliau mengkuatkuasakan Oil Mining Ordinance, 1956 (OMO). Nampaknya British ada juga kebaikan yang ditinggalkan iaitu undang-undang yang memihak kepada Negeri ini.

Proses perundangan melalui kuasa rakyat di dalam Dewan yang mulia ini digerakkan. OMO dipinda, dimaklumkan ke seantara dunia, alam Oil and Gas tergamam seketika melihat gerak geri Sarawak. Ya mereka tahu kesannya kerana itu Kerajaan Sarawak isytihar secara terbuka agar semua pihak bersedia. 1 November 2018 diistiharkan ia dikuatkuasakan dan 1 Januari 2019 ia mula dikutip hasilnya dan hasil itu kelak akan dikembalikan kepada rakyat Sarawak berupa belasan jambatan gergasi, lebuhraya, kemudahan asas air, elektrik dan telekomunikasi serta pendidikan dan pelbagai kebajikan untuk rakyat Sarawak sebagaimana yang dibentangkan secara terperinci dalam bajet yang sedang dibahaskan ini.

Oleh itu, pihak Persekutuan bila mendengar perkara ini mereka ambil sikap mahu berbincang lanjut sebagaimana yang dinyatakan oleh Yang Berhormat Menteri Ekonomi semalam. Manakan tidak, sebahagian keuntungan wang yang selama ini mereka nikmati daripada minyak dan gas serta galian Sarawak mungkin terjejas. Mereka takut industri ini tidak menarik dan sebagainya. Kalaulah betul ia tak menarik serah sajalah kepada Sarawak untuk menguruskannya.

Sebenarnya, apa yang dilakukan oleh Sarawak ialah sekadar ambil cukai terhadap hasil bumi yang disedut dan diambil darinya. Sarawak cuma ambil sedikit, cuma 5%. Royalti 20% yang dicanangkan kini sudah ditiup angin. Bajet 30% pula masih kita tunggu dan kita tidak akan lupa. Sedangkan rakyat di luar sana semakin menderita. Ratusan sekolah bertaraf terjun sungai perlu diganti dan tak mampu lagi untuk dibaiki. Jalan raya yang lebih teruk daripada laluan koboi perlu dibina dan dinaik taraf. Feri yang sesak membuang masa perlu diganti dengan jambatan yang bersaiz gergasi. Hospital yang fakir lagi miskin kemudahan perlukan perhatian. Air dan elektrik yang sekian lama telah wujud semua perlukan kos penyelenggaraan yang tinggi. Jangan pula ada yang kata “selama ini buat apa?” Selama ini banyak yang telah dibuat. Kini masa menaik taraf dan memastikan ia setanding dengan tempat lain. Kalau tak buat apa-apa masakan ramai yang jadi terpelajar dan duduk sihat walafiat dalam Dewan yang mulia ini. Hargailah apa yang kita ada walaupun wujud kelemahan dan kekurangan.

Ada yang bimbang cukai minyak di Sarawak akan terjejas akibat cukai 5% ini. Alamak, mereka ni tahu ekonomi atau tidak? Faham atau tidak hukum supply dan demand. Cukai ini tidak akan menjejaskan harga produk dalam pasaran. Ia cuma barangkali akan memaksa pemain minyak dan gas untuk berkongsi keuntungan mereka dengan rakyat Sarawak. Bayangkan royalti tahunan untuk Sarawak daripada Petronas khabarnya tidak sampai RM2 billion, sedangkan pendapatannya ratusan billion. Waktu harga minyak naik kita tidak tahu apakah benar-benar ada kenaikan royalti yang signifiken.

Kini Kerajaan Pusat pula akan dapat RM30 billion duit tambahan daripada Petronas, Sarawak tak dapat pun tambahan. Harga minyak dalam pasaran tak terjejas pun. Ini bila Sarawak mahu sebahagian keuntungan itu dikembalikan kepada rakyat Sarawak menurut lunas undang-undang ada pula yang mempertikaikan hak Sarawak. Sepatutnya, yang berkenaan bagilah jawapan. Bila harga Ron 95 dan 97 akan diturunkan bagi meringankan beban rakyat. Hidup ini berkongsi baru berkat. Hidup ini jangan terlalu tamak nanti jiwa berkarat.

Tuan Speaker, saya pohon kawan-kawan kita yang berada di pihak Kerajaan Pusat bantulah Sarawak. Kesian ribuan sekolah daif di pedalaman. Jangan mudah tuduh orang lain jadi ATM mesin, tidak baik. Bukankah kos anggaran itu dibuat oleh pihak JKR Pusat dan


24

Kementerian Pendidikan Pusat? Cubalah tanya mereka. Betulkan kos itu seperti yang diwar-warkan. Jangan hanya cakap, buatlah kerja.

Begitulah tugas bila kita jadi Kerajaan. Simpanlah perangai pembangkang itu untuk sesi yang akan datang. Semalam pun Menteri Ekonomi kata “serahkan kepada Kerajaan Negeri untuk laksanakan sekolah-sekolah daif kerana Kementerian Pendidikan sendiri gagal melaksanakannya”. Apa maksudnya? Maksudnya ialah kerja Kerajaan Sarawak itu baik dan betul. Itu diakui oleh Menteri Ekonomi sendiri.

Kelmarin beliau melawat sekolah di Asajaya, beliau sedih dan terkejut tengok ianya cukup daif terus beliau luluskan duit peruntukkan. Maksudnya duit itu ada, bagilah lebih banyak untuk Sarawak. Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri pula datang ke Julau, kata lawatan beliau adalah eye-opener. Terkejut tengok kemunduran. Padahal dulu beliau juga adalah isteri kepada bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Menteri Kewangan, Menteri Pendidikan, Menteri Belia dan Sukan dan sebagainya. Takkan beliau pada masa dulu tidak nampak semua perkara ini. Tidak mengapalah, yang penting beliau dah bagi RM100 ribu untuk penduduk Julau, jumlah yang barangkali besar. Apapun kita berterima kasih kerana mata mereka telah terbuka sedikit untuk membantu Sarawak.

Kerana itu saya merayu sahabat-sahabat yang jadi Kerajaan di Pusat. Bantulah Sarawak, bantulah anak-anak kita disini. Bantulah semua rakyat Sarawak kerana bila projek yang telah diluluskan oleh Kerajaan yang lalu itu dibatalkan siapakah yang terjejas? Yang terjejas rakyat dan kita semua. Bila flood mitigation untuk Sibu dan Kuching dibatalkan siapakah yang akan kena flood? Kita semua. Saya pula kena dua kali kerana rumah saya di Kuching manakala untuk ke kawasan saya perlu lalu Sibu. Kalaulah Kuching dan Sibu kedua-duanya terjejas oleh banjir. Maka saya pohon tolong semak projek-projek kecil yang dibatalkan itu. Kawasan saya sendiri banyak yang dibatalkan dan kita tidak mahu mengungkit. Tetapi saya minta pihak yang berkenaan memahami aspirasi rakyat dibawah sana yang kecewa kerana mereka juga adalah rakyat Malaysia.

Tuan Speaker, saya masuk ke isu kawasan saya. Alhamdullilah banyak projek rakyat sedang berjalan dan ada yang sudah siap atas usaha Kerajaan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri. Terima kasih dan bagi merancakkan rasa terima kasih ini saya pohon dipertimbangkan beberapa perkara.

Yang pertama pohon ditubuhkan Lembaga Pembangunan Kawasan Pesisir Sarawak seperti yang disebut oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat Pesisir sebelum ini kerana pembangunan besar-besaran akan berlaku di kawasan ini. Berbagai batang-batang sungai akan mendapat jambatan yang bersaiz gergasi dan kita perlukan satu Lembaga Pembangunan untuk mangatur dan menyusunnya.

Yang kedua, ‘missing link’ jalan pesisir kawasan saya iaitu saya pohon dipertimbangkan pembinaan jalan dari Kampung Kebuau ke Rumah Mering di Teluk Deluh yang jauhnya hanya 7km. Manakala ‘missing link’ kedua ialah jalan sambungan apabila siap kelak Jalan Igan ke Sungai Ilas iaitu di sambung Jalan Sungai Ilas ke Sungai Rasau yang akan menjadikan kawasan pesisir Igan, Matu, Mukah akan ada jalan alternatif baru ke Sibu. Sekiranya jalan ini diluluskan, ia akan membuka lembaran sejarah yang baru di mana kawasan pesisir akan lebih dekat dengan kawasan tengah Sarawak yang pasti merancakkan kegiatan ekonomi. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Jemoreng, one minute to wind up. YB Dato’ Murshid DiRaja Dr Juanda bin Jaya: Baik, Tuan Speaker. Seterusnya saya pohon agar isu elektrik di kawasan yang sepatutnya siap pada third quarter tahun ini segera


25

dilaksanakan sebagaimana yang dijanjikan kerana ini sudah sampai ke penghujung tahun. Kemudian, isu Jambatan Igan. Saya pohon Kerajaan Negeri selesaikan dengan baik dengan Kerajaan Pusat. Kerajaan Pusat sudah janji 15 tahun yang lalu. Janji tinggal janji. Maka pohon Kerajaan Negeri ambil alih sebagai bukti Kerajaan Negeri lebih bertanggungjawab berbanding Kerajaan Pusat tetapi kita juga minta Kerajaan Pusat ambillah tanggungjawab bantu membayar ongkosnya kepada Kerajaan Negeri.

Yang terakhir sekali, Tuan Speaker, ingin saya sebut isu pembaharuan pelantikan Ketua-Ketua Masyarakat sebagaimana yang disebut oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat dari Bukit Semuja tadi. Ramai yang menunggu selama berbulan-bulan untuk mengetahui pelantikan atau pembaharuan pelantikan maka kita pohon pihak Kerajaan untuk segera menyelesaikannya.

Isu perumahan di kawasan saya juga telah mula dilaksanakan tetapi saya berharap agar ia segera dilaksanakan kerana dalam Bajet 2019 ia telah diluluskan. Akhirnya, Tuan Speaker, kita letakkan harapan yang tinggi dan kepercayaan yang penuh kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri untuk memacu pembangunan Sarawak ke arah Sarawak maju 2030. Maka saya merayu semua pihak yang berada dalam Dewan yang mulia ini agar melihat ke hadapan, move forward, bergerak pantas membantu rakyat, kurangkan rhetoric, kuatkan kerja, ambil pelajaran daripada yang lepas, tak perlu ungkit yang sudah-sudah kerana ia menyakitkan semua pihak.

Marilah kita semua yang ada dalam Dewan yang mulia ini, pada hari Jumaat yang mulia lagi barakah ini menanam tekad bergerak bersama membantu rakyat. Pasti ada keberkatan dalam kehidupan orang yang membantu orang lain terutama mereka yang daif dan susah. Kurangkan tuduh menuduh, yang bersalah hanya bersalah bila ada bukti diputuskan oleh mahkamah. Yang dituduh akan kekal bersih selagi tiada keputusan mahkamah. Ingatlah, apa yang kita tanam pada hari ini, pasti kita akan tuai pada esok hari. Atas itu semua, Tuan Speaker, saya pohon menyokong Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018. Terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Murum. YB Encik Chukpai Ugon: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker kerana telah memberi peluang kepada saya untuk turut serta dalam perbahasan atas bacaan kali yang kedua Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 dan Usul untuk merujuk Resolusi Anggaran Pembangunan Bagi Perbelanjaan 2019 yang dibentangkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan di Dewan yang mulia ini pada 5 November 2018 yang lalu.

Dengan kesempatan ini saya ingin merakamkan ucapan setinggi-tinggi tahniah dan syabas kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri atas kejayaan membentang belanjawan bagi tahun 2019 yang merupakan “An Extraordinary Budget” yang mencipta sejarah Negeri Sarawak sebagai bajet yang terbesar pernah dibentang di dewan yang mulia ini.

Bajet 2019 ini adalah “Development Biased and Rural Focused” kerana dari jumlah keseluruhan Bajet 2019 yang bernilai RM11.914 billion diperuntukkan 76% atau RM9.073 billion digunakan untuk perbelanjaan pembangunan dan 24% atau RM2.841 billion adalah untuk perbelanjaan operasi.

Bajet 2019 ini juga merupakan satu anggaran bajet surplus atau lebihan kerana dijangka hasil unjuran pendapatan Negeri Sarawak adalah sebanyak RM10.513 billion


26

manakala jumlah perbelanjaan sebanyak RM10.391 billion. Daripada jumlah itu, sebanyak RM122 juta akan dicatat sebagai lebihan (surplus) pendapatan Negeri Sarawak. Perolehan yang lebih tinggi ini dijangka daripada aliran hasil baharu “New Sources of Revenue Stream”.

Tuan Speaker, ini jelas membuktikan kewibawaan dan kebijaksanaan Kerajaan Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) di bawah kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri mentadbir urus negeri ini dengan cekap. Kerajaan GPS juga komited bagi memastikan agenda pembangunan Sarawak dapat dicapai dan menjadi Negeri termaju menjelang tahun 2030 demi kesejahteraan seluruh lapisan rakyat di Bumi Kenyalang ini.

Ini telah menafikan segala tanggapan dan tuduhan yang dilemparkan oleh pihak pembangkang yang sama sekali tidak berasas kerana Belanjawan 2019 ini tidak menyentuh langsung simpanan Negeri atau “State Reserve”. Pihak pembangkang adalah pakar putar belit semata-mata untuk menyemarakkan sentimen membenci Kerajaan yang hanya akan menimbulkan kemarahan, keresahan, salah faham rakyat terhadap Kerajaan demi kepentingan peribadi atau politik survival mereka sahaja.

Marilah kita bersatu, bekerjasama dan berganding bahu membela nasib serta menuntuk hak rakyat Sarawak yang telah terhakis dalam Perjanjian Pembentukan Malaysia 1963 dan terus berjuang untuk mempertahankan Negeri yang tercinta ini, tidak kira agama, bangsa dan fahaman politik bagi memastikan perpaduan, kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran rakyat Sarawak yang pelbagai ini terjamin.

Meransang Pembangunan Luar Bandar

Tuan Speaker, saya merasa amat gembira sekali dan menyambut baik Bajet 2019 kerana belanjawan ini adalah Rural focused Budget yang akan membawa harapan besar dan masa depan yang cerah terutamanya kepada penduduk luar bandar ang tinggal jauh di pedalaman seperti kawasan saya di N.66 Murum. Daripada jumlah keseluruhan perbelanjaan pembangunan bernilai RM9.073 bilion diperuntukan 67% atau RM6.049 bilion digunakan untuk merangsang dan mempercepatkan pembangunan di kawasan luar bandar dalam usaha Kerajaan merapatkan jurang pembangunan di luar bandar melalui Program Transformasi Luar Bandar dengan fokus utamanya adalah untuk menyediakan kemudahan asas termasuk jalan raya, jambatan, bekalan air terawat, bekalan elektrik, rangkaian sistem telekomunikasi, pembangunan pertanian, pembesaran kampung, baik pulih sekolah daif serta projek-projek lain yang dekat di hati rakyat People Centric Projects. Projek-projek ini tentu sekali akan memberi manfaat kepada rakyat dan impak yang besar kepada pembangunan di luar bandar termasuklah kawasan di N.66 Murum. Tuan Speaker, seiring dengan harapan belanjawan ini, izinkan saya mengutarakan beberapa perkara yang memerlukan perhatian dan pertimbangan segera dewan yang mulia ini bagi kawasan saya di N.66 Murum.

Upper Rejang Development Agency (URDA)

Pendekatan yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Kerajaan Negeri di bawah kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri untuk mempercepatkan pembangunan di luar bandar secara terancang dan tersusun diwujudkan Upper Rejang Development Agency (URDA) yang melibatkan sebahagian kawasan N.66 Murum yang akan memberi manfaat kepada rakyat melalui pelaksanaan projek-projek Transformasi Luar Bandar termasuklah projek-projek kemudahan asas seperti jalan raya, bekalan air terawat, bekalan elektrik dan beberapa infrastruktur asas yang lain.


27

Namun kawasan daerah kecil Tubau yang terletak di Daerah Sebauh dan juga merupakan satu daerah mengundi (PDM) dalam kawasan DUN N.66 Murum tidak termasuk dalam kawasan URDA. Oleh itu, saya cadang dalam dewan yang mulia ini supaya daerah kecil Tubau dimasukkan dalam kawasan URDA agar pembangunan di kawasan N.66 Murum seimbang.

Kemudahan Jalan Raya dan Jambatan Tuan Speaker, masih banyak lagi kampung dan rumah panjang dalam DUN Murum yang belum menikmati jaringan jalan raya yang baik dan sempurna. Antaranya adalah kawasan Tubau, Ulu Jelalong, Ulu Sujan, Urun, Koyan, Murum dan Ulu Sungai Linau yang hanya boleh dihubungi dengan menggunakan jalan bekas balak yang sangat rosak dan sering terputus pada musim hujan. Dengan itu saya usulkan agar perhatian khusus dan pertimbangan segera diberikan bagi menaik taraf jalan-jalan ini sejajar dengan Pelaksanaan Transformasi Luar Bandar yang menjadi fokus dalam pengagihan Belanjawan pada kali ini.

Bekalan Air Bersih Terawat Tuan Speaker, kebanyakan rumah panjang dan kampung-kampung di kawasan DUN Murum hanya bergantung kepada air hujan dan gravity feed dan belum menikmati bekalan air bersih terawat. Kita menyambut baik usaha Kerajaan untuk memperluaskan jangkauan bekalan air bersih terawat di seluruh Sarawak melalui State Water Grid dan berbagai inisiatif telah diambil untuk mengatasi masalah bekalan air bersih termasuklah mengenalpasti Water Stress Area dengan peruntukan sebanyak RM2.8 bilion yang menjadi fokus utama. Saya memohon supaya kawasan DUN Murum terutamanya kawasan Tubau yang menghadapi masalah air yang sangat kritikal diberi perhatian dan dimasukkan dalam Water Stress Area agar penduduk di kawasan ini dapat manfaat dan menikmati bekalan air bersih.

Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar Tuan Speaker, sepertimana yang kita semua maklum di DUN Murum terdapat dua (2) Empangan Hidro Elektrik iaitu Empangan Bakun dan Empangan Murum yang merupakan Power House atau nadi tenaga Negeri ini, tetapi malangnya kebanyakan rumah panjang di kawasan Belaga dan di Murum belum lagi menikmati bekalan tenaga elektrik. Oleh itu saya memohon supaya dibekalkan tenaga elektrik terus dari grid ke semua rumah-rumah panjang ini dibawah Program RES (Rural Electrification Scheme).

Rangkaian Sistem dan Menara Telekomunikasi Tuan Speaker, selaras dengan dasar dan iniatif Kerajaan kearah negeri berasaskan digital ekonomi, pastinya setiap kawasan memerlukan menara dan rangkaian sistem telekomunikasi bagi membolehkan akses kepada internet. Di kawasan DUN Murum, terdapat banyak kawasan yang belum menikmati kemudahan ini kerana kekurangan menara telekomunikasi. Oleh itu, saya memohon agar lebih banyak menara telekomunikasi dibina di kawasan-kawasan pedalaman di Kawasan Murum termasuk Tubau, Jelalong dan Sungai Linau untuk membolehkan masyarakat di sekitar kawasan tersebut dapat menikmati kemudahan ini agar tidak ketinggalan dalam agenda transformasi digital ekonomi.

Naik taraf Sekolah-Sekolah Daif Tuan Speaker, seperti di kawasan pendalaman lain di Sarawak, keadaan sekolah-sekolah di kawasan saya juga sangat daif antaranya SK Lusong Laku, SK Long Urun, SK


28

Kuala Kebulu, SK Bukit Balai, SMK Bakun, SK Batu Keling, SK Long Gang, SK Tegulang dan SK Metalun yang masih dalam keadaan serba kekurangan dari segi kemudahan asas

Menaik taraf Kemudahan Kesihatan Tuan Speaker, di DUN Murum terdapat hanya atau cuma empat buah klinik sahaja dan rata-rata keadaan klinik ini sangat daif dengan kelengkapan yang serba kekurangan dan ini sudah tentu tidak mencukupi untuk menampung keperluan penduduk yang semakin bertambah. Oleh itu saya cadangkan agar klinik Desa BRS Sungai Asap dinaik taraf ke status hospital bagi menampung keperluan dan penambahan jumlah penduduk. Saya juga memohon agar klinik kesihatan yang baru dibina di Skim Penempatan Semula Metalun, Tegulang, Long Urun, Ulu Linau dan Jelalong.

Pusat Komuniti ‘Rural Service Centre’ (RSC) Tuan Speaker, saya ingin mencadangkan supaya Kerajaan mewujudkan Pusat Komuniti atau Rural Service Centre (RSC) di Tubau, Metalun, Tegulang dan Lusong Laku bagi memperkasakan komuniti di luar bandar agar perkhidmatan Kerajaan dapat disampaikan kepada rakyat di luar bandar hingga ke peringkat akar umbi dengan baik.

Memperkasakan Sektor Pertanian Tuan Speaker, sektor pertanian tidak dapat dipisahkan daripada kehidupan rakyat di kawasa luar bandar. Bajet 2019 ini terus memberi tumpuan kepada sektor pertanian dan amatlah dialu-alukan. Oleh itu, saya ingin menyarankan agar pihak Kementerian Pemodenan Pertanian Tanah Adat dan Ekonomi Luar Bandar Dan Wilayah melalui Jabatan Pertanian Sarawak untuk membuat kajian bagi mengenalpasti tanaman yang mempunyai nilai komersial yang tinggi di kawasan DUN Murum dengan menerapkan penggunaan teknologi pertanian moden. Dengan itu, saya cadangkan kepada Kerajaan untuk menjadikan sebuah Taman Pengeluaran Makanan (Food Production Park) di kawasan Murum dan mewujudkan Pusat Pengumpulan Hasil Pertanian dan Produk Desa di Sg. Asap serta mewujudkan Station Pertanian di Tubau, Long Urun dan Lusong Laku bagi mentransformasikan social ekonomi penduduk di kawasan ini secara mampan.

Estet Perindustrian Kecil dan Anjung Usahawan Tuan Speaker, selaras dengan Program Perindustrian Negeri yang sedang rancak melaksanakan pelbagai estet perindustrian kecil, maka saya ingin mencadangkan supaya sebuah estet perindustrian kecil atau anjung usahawan juga dibina di Daerah Kecil Sg. Asap yang mempunyai potensi bukan sahaja kerana lokasinya yang strategik tetapi di atas permintaan yang tinggi daripada usahawan kita.

Survei Tanah Temuda, Native Customary Right (NCR) dan Native Territorial Domain (NTD) Untuk Penduduk Di Balui

Tuan Speaker, saya memohon agar Kerajaan menjalankan kerja-kerja pengukuran bagi tanah temuda, Native Customary Right (NCR) dan Native Territorial Domain (NTD) bagi milik penduduk asal Balui yang tidak ditenggelami air di hidro empangan Bakun dan mengeluarkan geran atau Title in Perpetuity bagi tanah-tanah tersebut. Saya juga mohon peruntukan khas dalam Bajet 2019 bagi melaksanakan kerja-kerja pengukuran tanah-tanah tersebut. Saya percaya Kerajaan Negeri ikhlas dalam menyelesai perihal tanah hak adat peribumi atau native di Sarawak.


29

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Murum, one minute. YB Encik Chukpai Ugon: Yap.

Isu-Isu Di Skim Penempatan Semula Bakun dan Murum

Tuan Speaker, seperti yang saya katakan pada persidangan yang lepas, sekali lagi saya ingin menarik perhatian dewan yang mulia ini berhubung dengan isu-isu yang belum lagi diselesaikan di Skim Penempatan Semula Bakun dan Murum. Antaranya adalah:

i. Pengeluaran Surat Hak Milik Tanah dan Lot Rumah; ii. Pembayaran balik premium tanah dan rumah; iii. Pemberian tanah gantian untuk lot pertanian yang tak sesuai; iv. Peruntukan tanah tambahan yang dijanjikan; v. Permohonan lot kediaman dan lot pertanian bagi keluarga baru (Extended

Family); vi. Baik pulih rumah kediaman di BRS Sg. Asap yang kian uzur; vii. Pelaksanaan tanaman sara hidup (Tanaman Komersial) bagi penduduk di

Skim; dan viii. Penempatan Semula Murum.

Saya harap isu-isu ini diberi perhatian yang serius dan perlu diselesaikan dengan kadar segera.

Kesimpulan

Tuan Speaker, sebagai mengakhiri ucapan perbahasan ini, saya ingin merakamkan syabas dan tahniah kepada Tuan Speaker, kerana telah berjaya mengendalikan persidangan kali ini lagi dengan begitu bijak, professional dan cemerlang sekali. Tidak lupa juga kepada pegawai-pegawai Dewan yang mulia ini dan semua agensi Kerajaan yang telah memberi komitmen yang tinggi dalam menjalankan tugas masing-masing. Dengan kesempatan ini juga saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Hari Natal kepada rakan-rakan yang beragama Kristian dan Selamat Tahun Baru 2019 kepada seluruh rakyat Sarawak. Dengan ini, saya mohon menyokong Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 dan usul untuk merujuk Resolusi Anggaran Pembangunan Bagi Perbelanjaan 2019. Sekian, terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker : Ahli Yang Berhormat Bukit Begunan. YB Datuk Mong Anak Dagang: Formulated based on six thrusts, the budget is expected to spur economic growth and facilitating development in rural areas under the Rural Transformation Program. Congratulations Yang Amat Berhormat (YAB) Chief Minister for coming up with people centric and rural biased Budget in which 76% of the total development fund is set aside to facilitate rural development. Tuan Speaker, as I have mentioned earlier, it is people’s Budget reflecting the State Government firmed commitment to improve the general well-being of the rural community by improving rural connectivity and providing for electric supply and clean water supply. The Budget is indeed good news for the rural community.


30

Tuan Speaker, while the State Government allocated substantial fund for development purposes, the development fund allocated by the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Government to the State at RM4.3 billion is far less than what was expected. The State should be getting more than that, because the State is the main contributor to the Federal coffer from revenue derived from oil and gas. In addition, the PH Government has proposed to increase oil royalty to 20% which is not forthcoming either and so is the promised made by the State Pakatan Harapan (PH) to fight for 30% development fund for Sarawak. As the Iban said “Sulu Di Anti Enda Datai” - So shall we keep on waiting for lover that will never come?” Given the above scenario, the State Government have no choice but to look for alternative source of fund to finance its development programme. Therefore, I applaud the initiative taken by the State Government under leadership YAB Chief Minister to exercise State rights to impose tax on petroleum products effective January 1st next year 2019 and at the rate of 5%. It is expected to generate additional revenue of RM3.89 billion which the State could use to carry out development projects. YAB Chief Minister you have our full support. Tuan Speaker, in as much as the rural communities are happy with the Budget, I believe they are hoping to get a fair share of the development fund instead of just cheering with joy. In the same token, I am hopeful that my Constituency would be getting portion of the huge development funds for the purpose of getting infrastructure facilities such as roads and so on done.

Road Having said that Tuan Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of this august House and the relevant authority to request for the following roads:

1. To construct 4 kilometres of road from Menuang to Langgir, Lingga;

2. To construct 6.5 kilometres of road from Selangan Angkong to Enciap, Pantu.

With respect to Selanjan-Enciap Road, on behalf of the people from the two (2) kampungs and longhouses, I would like to thank YAB the Chief Minister who have agreed and approved the proposed road when I had meeting with him on 6th August 2018. Therefore, I am very hopeful the relevant Ministry would consider to allocate fund towards the construction of this road.

Education Now on Education Tuan Speaker. Education is subject close to the heart of all of us in this Dewan. Providing conducive teaching and learning environment to both teachers and students respectively is the responsibility of the Government of the day. News about the deplorable conditions of rural schools in the State was deliberated in this august House in every Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sitting. Tuan Speaker, education is the responsibility of the Federal Government, but it is disheartening to note that 2019 Federal Budget did not indicated any allocation for dilapidated schools in Sarawak, I mean to repair the dilapidated schools in Sarawak. Federal Government is duty bound to provide necessary funding not only to improve or repair dilapidated schools but to construct new one when need arises. As of now ... (interruption) ... I have only ten minutes ya. Timbalan Speaker: Are you giving way Honourable Member for Bukit Bengunan?


31

YB Datuk Mong Anak Dagang: ... (Continue) No, I have only ten minutes. Timbalan Speaker: Okay. So, please. YB Datuk Mong Anak Dagang: As of now, there is nothing from the Federal Government. It is the caring State Government that have been allocating funds to repair some of the dilapidated schools in the State. In the 2019 Budget, the sum of RM81.7 million were provided for the rebuild and improve dilapidated school in the State.

Still on this matter, Tuan Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of this august House and relevant authority the problem faced by one of the primary schools in my Constituency, that is, SK Bakong, Tanjong Bijat. The school is located near Batang Lupar River. Now student’s safety is being compromised due to erosion of river band caused by strong tidal bore. For the information of this august House, Education Department has acquired a piece of land nearby to relocate the school. So, it is my hope that the relevant authority would take necessary action to solve problems faced by the school.

Electricity Supply to School Tuan Speaker, a few schools in my Constituency are located very near to SESCO power grid but still use generator sets. The schools are:

(a) SK Selanjang Sebemban, Selanjan;

(b) SK Munggu Bringin; and

(c) SK St. Martin, Lachau.

I am requesting for the relevant Authority or Ministry to consider getting power supply form nearby SECSO power grid.

Gunung Lesong National Park, Lingga

Now I would like to move on to Gunung Lesong National Park. Tuan Speaker, Gunung Lesong National Park or Bukit Lingga as it is commonly called was gazetted as National Park if I can recall well about two (2) years ago. On 24th February this year, I was invited to officiate the meeting of Gunung Lesong Community based Eco-Tourism Development Committee comprised Headmen from 21 villages adjacent to and surrounding Gunung Lesong National Park. The meeting was attended by Resident Bahagian Sri Aman, World Wide Fund for Natured Sarawak branch, representative from Ministry of Tourism, Art, Culture and Sport and Sarawak Forestry Department.

The Committee was the initiative by the locals community which amongst others is to

explore and consider the establishment of Community based eco-tourism for Gunung Lesong National Park. Gunung Lesong has its own history and legend besides home to large variety of flora and fauna and the presence of different species of monkeys including Orang Utan apart from beautiful cascading waterfalls.

Thus far there are groups of visitors coming from Indonesia, Korea and Japan to visit the place. I am hopeful that the relevant authority would be kind enough to assist the committee and the people in the area by providing basic training and to construct various facilities for the benefit of the people and visitors to the park. So Gunung Lesong National Park has the potential to become popular tourist destination in Sri Aman if it is properly


32

develop with the assistance from the relevant Ministry. Tuan Speaker, I hope the relevant authority or Ministry would look into the said request.

Majlis Daerah Sri Aman Dumping Site at Entulang (Pelupusan Sampah)

Tuan Speaker, if I may, I would like the relevant Ministry or authority to inform this

august House whether there is any plan to close Majlis Daerah Sri Aman dumping site at Entulang, Sri Aman. If there is, when? And if no, why? The people in Entulang area have been suffering for the past more than 30 years bearing the pungent smell and swarm of flies in their homes. I have brought this matter in this august House several times in the past. Thus it is my hope that the Ministry could treat this matter seriously and get it solve once and for all.

Consultative Committee on MA63

Tuan Speaker, though the Consultative Committee on MA63 has been unanimously

agreed upon by all Honourable Members and approved in this Dewan, once again i wish to reiterate my full support to its establishment. Discussing on MA63 should not be taken lightly as it involves a lot of technical issues wish may and will crop up once negotiation starts. The outcome of the negotiation will have significant and far-reaching effect on the State position and status in the Federation. Negotiation is like a marathon and it may run into a few year, thus it is indeed a noble move by the State Government to set up Consultative Committee to support and advise the State representatives of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 Steering Committee.

Tuan Speaker, the MA63 Steering Committee set up by the YAB Prime Minister Tun

Dr. Mahathir Mohamad I would say is quite lopsided. In fact, Prime Minister should not decide who should represent Sarawak. The authority to choose and appoint the State representatives for MA63 Steering Committee lies in the hands of the Chief Minister and not the Prime Minister.

NCR Land Perimeter Survey

Tuan Speaker, I wish to thank the State Government for allocating fund for the

purpose of continuing with perimeter survey NCR land in the State. Funding for this programme was first started by Barisan Nasional and has been going on for a few years. And we had expected the new Government to continue with this important initiative but unfortunately, they have decided to stop providing fund for perimeter survey of NCR land in the State. This is the second time they failed the rural community. The first was stopping payment of allowances to community leaders in the State. Again, the State Government have to step in and take over the payment of the allowances. It shows the PH Government is either unaware or insensitive to the needs of native community in the State.

So Tuan Speaker, perimeter survey of NCR land is one of the step adopted by the

State Government to solve problem relating to NCR land issues. There are of course certain group of people who will oppose the move and will continue to do so for reason known to themselves. Therefore, Tuan Speaker, I hope the State Government would continue to provide funding in order perimeter survey of NCR in the State could proceed on.

In conclusion, I wish to thank you, Tuan Speaker and all staff from DUN and other

Government Departments who are directly or indirectly involved in the smooth running of the Dewan Undangan Negeri. As Christmas and New Year is approaching, I wish all Christian friends in and outside of this Dewan a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019. With that, I support The Supply (2019) 2018 Bill.


33

Thank you. Timbalan Speaker: Yang Berhormat for Krian. YB Encik Ali Anak Biju: Terima kasih Tuan Speaker, terima kasih kerana diberi peluang dan ruang untuk membahaskan Bajet Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak untuk tahun 2019. Buat pertama kalinya dalam sejarah, Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak telah membentangkan belanjawan yang terbesar iaitu RM11.914 billion. Daripada jumlah tersebut, RM9.073 billion diperuntukkan untuk pembangunan iaitu 76% daripada bajet keseluruhan yang mana RM6.049 billion bersamaan dengan 67% adalah untuk kawasan luar bandar. Saya sebagai Wakil Rakyat daripada kawasan luar bandar amatlah mengalu-alukan belanjawan “Development Biased and Rural Focused Budget” untuk tahun 2019. Walau bagaimanapun, saya ingin memberi pandangan saya pada sebahagian daripada belanjawan tersebut.

RM500 Juta Untuk Projek RTP

Tuan Speaker, RM500 juta telah diperuntukan untuk Projek RTP di dalam Bajet 2019. Ini amatlah bersesuaian dengan keadaan di kawasan di luar Bandar yang masih jauh ketinggalan dari segi pembangunan akan tetapi, malangnya seperti yang semua kita maklum, peruntukan ini hanya untuk wakil rakyat daripada GPS sahaja.

Saya meminta jasa baik YAB Ketua Menteri agar mempertimbangkan peruntukan tersebut diagihkan kepada semua kawasan DUN di Sarawak tanpa mengira fahaman politik dan juga untuk memastikan semua kawasan di Sarawak mendapat kesaksamaan dan keadilan dari segi pembangunan.

Adalah amat tidak wajar untuk memilih kasih dalam menyalurkan peruntukan pembangunan kepada rakyat. Polisi sedemikian menganaktirikan sebahagian daripada warga Sarawak sendiri.

Tuan Speaker, sekiranya Kerajaan Sarawak agak keberatan untuk menyalurkan Projek RTP melalui ADUN daripada PH, saya menyarankan agar Projek tersebut boleh di kawal selia oleh agensi kerajaan yang berkenaan secara direct. Pada hakikatnya rakyat Sarawak berhak menikmati hasil kekayaan bumi Sarawak yang di perjuangkan bersama oleh nenek moyang kita dahulu.

Sekiranya kawasan DUN PH tidak mendapat peruntukan RM 500 juta projek RTP ini, maka belanjawan RTP ini boleh dikatakan GPS “Biased Budget”.

Isu Perlantikan Tuai Rumah

Tuan Speaker, saya ingin menyatakan pandangan saya berhubung dengan isu perlantikan Tuai Rumah. Menurut tradisi masyarakat Iban, Tuai Rumah memang dipilih oleh anak-biak atau warga rumah panjang itu sendiri.

Pemilihan ini berlandaskan adat sempekat sesuatu rumah panjang tanpa campur tangan mana-mana pihak atau individu dari luar yang tidak ada sempekat dengan rumah panjang tersebut.

Kaedah pemilihan ini berlandaskan melalui aturan demokrasi di mana, ianya di jalankan melalui proses “Consultation” atau “Aum”.

Setiap “Consultation” atau pun “Aum” mungkin berbeza daripada sebuah rumah panjang dengan rumah panjang yang lain daripada satu tempat ke satu tempat yang lain.


34

Namun begitu, ingin saya tekankan di sini bahawa semuanya berlandaskan adat sempekat yang telah dipersetujui oleh semua anak biak. Oleh yang demikian, saya berpendapat bahawa Tuai Rumah yang sudah melalui kaedah proses pemilihan tersebut seharusnya diiktiraf dan dilantik secara langsung oleh Majlis Mesyuarat Negeri Sarawak yang diwakili oleh Residen dan Pegawai Daerah.

Tuan Speaker, ada seperkara lagi berkait rapat dengan isu Tuai Rumah yang saya ingin bangkitkan di sini iaitu berkenaan dengan masalah kelewatan Tuai Rumah mendapatkan Sijil Sah Perlantikan. Saya difahamkan ada yang terpaksa menunggu selama setahun dua untuk mendapatkan lantikan tersebut secara sah. Maka mereka tidak mendapat elaun. Saya menyeru agar proses pengesahan untuk mendapatkan elaun Tuai Rumah tersebut di percepatkan dan dipermudahkan.

Isu Elaun Tuai Rumah / Ketua Kaum

Tuan Speaker, berhubung dengan isu pemansuhan sementara elaun untuk Tuai Rumah/Ketua Kaum di Sarawak yang telah diperuntukkan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan sebelum PRU14, ingin saya menjelaskan bahawa sebenarnya, pemansuhan elaun in adalah ekoran daripada pembubaran unit JKKKP di Semenanjung.

YAB Perdana Menteri mengambil keputusan ini kerana cukup jelas, JKKKP sebenarnya adalah alat politik Kerajaan parti dahulu di semenanjung.

Maka, PH memperkenalkan MPKK Majlis Pengurusan Kemajuan Kampung di negeri yang diperintah oleh PH. Untuk Sarawak, KKLB Kementerian Kemajuan Luar Bandar akan menggunapakai sistem pentadbiran JKKK yang sedia ada. Pada masa sekarang Kerajaan PH tidak bercadang untuk mengguna pakai sistem MKPP seperti di Semenanjung.

Tujuan Kerajaan PH masih lagi menggunakan JKKK di Sarawak adalah untuk mengelakkan “Parallel Government” ataupun jawatankuasa yang bertindih di peringkat kampung. Ini perlu demi mengekalkan muafakat dalam kalangan rakyat.

Jawatankuasa yang bertindih hanya mengundang konflik pentadbiran dan perpecahan. Ini terjadi di beberapa negeri di Semenanjung apabila Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat pada masa itu menguasai beberapa buah negeri.

Tuan Speaker, Parallel Government ini mesti dielakkan. Bayangkan kalau rumah panjang itu ada dua jawatankuasa, dua Tuai Rumah dan atau pun dua Ketua Kampung Kerajaan PH melarang parallel Government, lantas itu MKPP di perkenalkan dan JKKKP di Semenanjung dahulu dimansuhkan.

Oleh yang demikian, saya menyeru agar Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak menerima baik dana RM35 juta daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk membayar Elaun TR / Ketua Kaum.

Tuai Rumah merangkap Pengerusi JKKK perlu mentadbir rumah panjang dengan adil dan saksama tanpa mengira fahaman politik. Kerajaan PH tidak ingin melibatkan kepentingan politik dari mana mana parti di dalam pentadbiran di peringkat rumah panjang.

Oleh itu saya amat setuju dengan Seksyen 8 (1) “Ordinan Ketua Masyarakat 2014 dengan jelas menyatakan bahawa “Ketua Kaum Di Larang Sama Sekali Mempunyai Kedudukan Dalam Parti Politik”.

Tuan Speaker, saya ingin menarik perhatian berkenaan Surat Pekeliling yang telah di keluarkan oleh State Secretary bertarikh 11 Oktober 2018 yang mana Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak secara asasnya mengkehendaki Ketua Kaum dan Ketua Masyarakat yang ingin


35

menghadiri program ataupun mesyuarat selain daripada yang dianjurkan Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak, mendapat kebenaran dahulu daripada Tuan Residen.

Ini pada pendapat saya perlu dikaji semula kerana kita harus faham tentang peranan Ketua Kaum Ketua Masyarakat yang menjadi jambatan penghubung di antara rakyat di bawahnya dengan wakil rakyat dan Kerajaan, sama ada Kerajaan Negeri atau Kerajaan Persekutuan.Saya bersetuju sekiranya larangan tersebut disasarkan kepada aktiviti politik tetapi bukan untuk aktiviti kemasyarakatan yang menguntungkan semua rakyat.

Ada sesetengah Tuai Rumah/ Ketua Kaum menyalahtafsirkan Surat Pekeliling tersebut seolah-olah melarang sama sekali berhubung dengan Wakil Rakyat daripada PH walaupun berhubung kait dengan hal ehwal dan kebajikan masyarakat

Saya menyeru supaya Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak memberi pencerahan yang lebih jelas kepada Ketua Kaum, Tuai Rumah tentang Surat Pekeliling tersebut.

Isu Projek Penanaman Padi Di Kampung Kupang, Jelupang, Sessang Dan Nyiar

Tuan Speaker, satu Projek penanaman padi secara besar-besaran telah dimulakan lebih lima tahun yang dulu di kawasan tersebut.

Akan tetapi Projek itu tidak menampakkan sebarang kemajuan sehingga kini. Tidak ada aktiviti penanaman padi dilakukan di kawasan berkenaan walaupun Kerajaan telah membelanjakan sejumlah dana yang besar untuk membina perparitan dan tali air. Setakat ini, projek tersebut boleh dikatakan terbengkalai.

Sehubungan itu, saya menyarankan agar projek ini dihidupkan semula supaya sedikit sebanyak dapat menjana aktiviti ekonomi dan meningkatkan taraf sosio ekonomi masyarakat setempat.

Saya ingin bertanya sama ada Kerajaan Negeri mempunyai rancangan untuk menghidupkan semula projek tersebut, sama ada untuk tanaman padi atau pun jenis tanaman lain yang sesuai kerana di dalam Bajet 2019. Sejumlah RM315 juta telah diperuntukkan untuk Program “Strengthening Economic Development”. Sekiranya projek tersebut ada berhubungkait dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan, Kerajaan Negeri hendaklah bekerjasama untuk menjayakannya.

Isu Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan Raya Dan Jambatan

Tuan Speaker, kawasan N.39 Krian masih memerlukan pembangunan infrastruktur terutama jalan raya, jambatan dan bekalan air bersih. Justeru itu saya mengalu-alukankan inisiatif daripada Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak untuk mengambil alih pelaksanaan projek pembangunan infrastruktur daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan seperti yang telah dibentangkan oleh YAB Ketua Menteri di dalam pembentangan Bajet 2019

Salah satu daripada projek yang diambil alih Kerajaaan Negeri ialah jambatan merentasi Sg Krian yang dianggarkan awal bernilai RM90 juta.

Sehubungan itu juga saya berharap Kerajaan Negeri akan mengambil alih Projek naik taraf Jalan Bajau – Kupang yang berdasarkan anggaran awal bernilai RM90 juta.

Beberapa projek tersebut sebenarnya terpaksa ditangguhkan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan di sebabkan kekangan kewangan negara pada masa sekarang.


36

Di sini saya juga ingin menyarankan agar agensi-agensi untuk membuat permohonan kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk menaiktaraf beberapa jalan raya di kawasan Krian. Langkah ini adalah perlu kerana Kerajaan Persekutuan sebenarnya memerlukan pengesyoran daripada agensi Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak terlebih dahulu.

Jalan raya yang saya cadangkan untuk syorkan kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan ialah;

(a) Penurapan Jalan Ulu Krian bermula dari Sungai Bansu ke Rumah Jawie Awas dan Rumah Langan Ulu Krian yang di anggarkan berjumlah RM15 juta;

(b) Penurapan Jalan Kabo-Sungai Bangkong yang di anggarkan berjumlah RM8

juta; (c) Menaik taraf Jalan Krangan Rusa-Babang dan membina jambatan merentasi

Sg Krian di Krangan Rusa; (d) Menaik taraf Jalan Ulu Awik 13.5 kilometer yang di anggarkan berjumlah

RM67.8 juta; (e) Membina baru jambatan dan menaik taraf jalan kampung yang menghubungi

Jalan Ulu Awik dan Jalan Kabo melalui Rumah Unding, Sungai Jirak.Jalan ini amat penting untuk memudahkan perhubungan di antara penduduk di Jalan Ulu Awik dan Pejabat Daerah Kecil Nanga Budu; dan

(f) Menurap Jalan Mudong ke Rumah James Bali di Tapang Ujan.

Isu Bekalan Air Bersih

Tuan Speaker, merujuk kepada jawapan daripada Menteri Bekalan Elektrik Luar

Bandar pada sidang DUN bulan Mei 2017 lalu kepada soalan saya berkenaan dengan status bekalan air bersih ke Brayang, Mudong Ibus dan Ulu Sebetan.

Menurut jawapan YB Menteri:

“Cadangan ini telah dikemukakan ke KKLW dalam “Rolling Plan 3” dengan anggaran kos sebanyak RM21.5 juta. Skop projek merangkumi pembinaan stesen pam penggalak, tangki air simpanan dan saluran paip”.

Menurut kenyataan YAB Ketua Menteri bertarikh 11 Oktober 2018 di Borneo Post telah mengumumkan peruntukkan sebanyak RM2.8 billion untuk Projek Bekalan Air di kawasan luar bandar untuk dua tahun kehadapan.

Dengan ini saya menyarankan agar Kerajaan Negeri sekali lagi mengambil alih projek pembinaan bekalan air bersih ke kawasan Brayang, Mudung Ibus dan Ulu Sebetan.

Sekiranya Projek tersebut tidak dapat di siapkan pada tahun hadapan iaitu pada tahun 2019, saya menyarankan Kerajaan Negeri mempertimbangkan perlaksanaan nya pada tahun 2020 nanti.

Dengan ini saya ingin mengakhiri ucapan saya mengucapkan Selamat Hari Krismas pada yang beragama Kristian dan Selamat Tahun Baru kepada semua warga Sarawak. Terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Machan.


37

YB Encik Allan Siden Gramong: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker, I wish to give my total support to the Supply (2019) Bill, 2018. First and foremost, let me congratulate Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahmad Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, Ketua Menteri merangkap Menteri Kewangan dan Perancangan Ekonomi Sarawak for presenting the biggest ever budget in the history of Sarawak. And as correctly mentioned in his speech it is indeed extraordinary budget with large allocation for development as well as record revenue for 2019.

Tuan Speaker, I would also like to congratulate the Honourable Minister of Art, Culture, Youth and Sport, and Honourable Member of Asajaya for his Motion to set up a consultative Committee comprising of members from all political parties approved unanimously in this august House on the 6th November 2018. It was in fact a historical day for the people of Sarawak.

Rural Biased and People-Centric Budget Tuan Speaker, the Supply (2019) Bill, 2018 warrant full support from all Honourable Members of this august House, including Members of the Opposition. The budget proposal for 2019 encompasses six key strategies to enable the State to achieve greater economic growth and reducing the development gap between the rural and urban areas. I am indeed delighted to note that a sum of RM6.048 billion or 67% allocation has been proposed for the provision of basic amenities like roads, bridges, electricity and water supplies in the rural areas. I must thank Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri for the generous allocation. The budget is rural biased and people centric. The rural areas and the rural communities which make up about 60% of our State population are lagging behind in all aspects of social and economic progress. They have a lot of catch up to do. To really develop the rural regions of the State and bring the remote villages and longhouses into the main stream of development requires strong political will and commitment. The budget reflects this strong political will and commitment of our Chief Minister and the State of Government. Tuan Speaker, it is only fair that development to be equitably distributed without any region or community being marginalised. Let us all share the progress and prosperity of Sarawak. We ought to be able to appreciate the fact that greater progress and higher level of economic prosperity of the rural areas would inevitably prosper our towns and cities.

Record High Revenue Tuan Speaker, we ought to feel proud of our Right Honourable Chief Minister for being able to come up with a big budget with record high revenue. The revenue for 2019 is projected at RM10.15 billion, an allocation for RM9.073 billion for the development and RM2.845 billion for operating expenditure. There is still a surplus projected at RM122 million. Contrary to what the Opposition and critics said in their several utterances before this, it is to be noted that this is a surplus budget. The healthy reserves that we have are not even touched. In fact, there would be a surplus of RM122 million which would go to the reserve. The budget that is before us dispels all the negative perceptions among some quarters in the running and managing of the State. Sarawak is in the good hands of responsible and capable leaders supported by dedicated high caliber civil service that we have in the State. Tuan Speaker, the decision to impose 5% sales tax on petroleum products with effect from 1st January 2019 is a wise move. No one should question this. It is done within our constitutional rights. The revenue derived from this would be used to undertake various development programme in the State.

Projects Under Upper Rajang Development Agency (URDA) Tuan Speaker, the establishment of various regional agencies under RECODA in Sarawak has been a strategic move to speed up the momentum to develop the State. In case of URDA, Upper Rajang Development Agency, I wish to record my appreciation to Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri Sarawak for approving and allocating a sum of RM1.472 billion for various projects under its umbrella. Thank you again for including Kanowit District to be part of the URDA complex for Machan Constituency. We have submitted one road and one bridge projects as well as water supply booster stations for a total project value of RM120 million for consideration to be implemented under URDA. I fervently hope that the projects would be approved and implemented smoothly and expeditiously.

Roads for Machan State Constituency Tuan Speaker, like in other parts of the State, people in my area also require road connectivity. Road connectivity is very important because it is a life line and a way for the people to improve the social economy in the rural area. In my Constituency, there are two roads which I appeal for the Government to urgently look into. I have raised this subject in previous sittings of this Dewan and now I feel obliged to raise it again. These two roads are:

(a) Jalan Ulu Poi; and

(b) Jalan Ulu Machan.

Both roads were approved Federal projects under Kementerian Luar Bandar dan Wilayah Kuala Lumpur some years ago. Demi kesejahteraan masyarakat luar Bandar saya menyeru kepada Kerajaan PH di peringkat Persekutuan supaya projek sebegini akan diteruskan. However, if the Federal Government cancels the projects then I appeal to the State Government to come up with rescue plan for the sake of the people in my Constituency. I would like propose to the Federal and State Government to construct and connect Ulu Poi road and Ulu Machan road together. With this proposal, the people in my Constituency could enjoy a well deserved good road connectivity.

Water Supplies Tuan Speaker, I wish to touch on the issues of water supplies in my constituency. Clean treated water is also important for the rural people. In Machan, there are still many stress areas that do not have clean treated water. I would like to ask the Minister of Utilities whether any plans to improve and build the State water grid along Majau, Batu Luking, Nanga Mam, Menalun, Ulu Poi, Maong, Nanga Machan and Ulu Machan.

Electricity Supplies Tuan Speaker, in my Constituency there are still certain areas which have not been electrified. Electricity is another important basic amenity that people of Machan need urgently. In the modern world, rural folk use modern electrical appliance to help improve their daily life. I would like to propose to the State Government to provide 24 hours electricity to the people of Ulu Machan, which consists of nine long houses and one school. And Ulu Poi which has 11 long houses, one school and one clinic.

Telecommunication Network and Internet Connectivity

Tuan Speaker, let me now speak on the subject of telecommunication networks and internet connectivity, especially in Kanowit. I have brought up the matter in this Dewan before and since then there has been no notable improvement in telecommunication


39

services as well as internet coverage and connectivity in Kanowit, including in my constituency of Machan. Each time I went to visit the rakyat in different locations I always tried to check on my mobile the availability and efficiency of our telecommunication networks.

Tuan Speaker, I wish to report that quite a number of areas and locations in Kanowit district have no network coverage. People just cannot use their telephone, and internet connectivity, is just non-existent. We all know the importance of having good efficient telecommunicaiton services and fast and high speed internet connection. You would feel helpless and down-hearted when such services are not available. Those residing in the rural areas are in an extremely disadvantaged situation. They are just cut-off from the outside world. In this IT and digital era, it is just not impossible to live without it and without a wifi, broadband, internet. Most of the things that we do daily is being done online - applying for jobs, booking flights, paying for goods and services, just to name a few are all done an efficiently online.

Tuan Speaker, we have been talking and emphasizing so much and correctly so about the digital economy and all things digital in our life and system. However, it is sorry to note that infrastructure has not been put in place. Telecommunication service and internet coverage in my, and many parts of Sarawak is still far fetch and lacking. I wish to urge the Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) to upgrade and improve our telecommunication and internet coverage throughout the length and wide of Sarawak. A lot more telecommunication towers would have to be build throughout the state including in Machan constituency.

Education

Tuan Speaker, eduation is important to us because without education there will be no knowledge and without knowledge there will be no future. In my constituency, there is a case of one school which I wish to highlight. The school is Sekolah Menengah Kerajaan Kanowit. It is in bad shape. Some classrooms are found to be unsafe for use. As a result, school hostel has to be converted into classrooms. On behalf of the teachers, students and their parents I wish to appeal to the Ministry of Education to look into the matter urgently. This situation is real and serious.

Tuan Speaker, I would like to also propose the Sarawak Government that Kanowit should have its own vocational school because its locality and geographical placement. The old SMK Sedaya should be suitable for the establishment of this vocational school. Its building is still in tag and and can be use. The old SMK Sedaya just need an upgrade. I hope the Ministry could consider this proposal because its a strategic place.

Tuan Speaker, with regards to school in Kanowit, I understand that some had proposed to change the name of one school, one of the secondary school. Kindly note that the people in Kanowit do not agree with such suggestion. Among local population there have been a lot of debate in social media as well in coffee shop an express disagreement of the new name suggested. The sentiment is strong against such a move and I appeal to the Ministry of Education to hold the idea.

Low-cost/Affordable Housing

Tuan Speaker, some years ago there was a proposal to build low cost and affordable houses in Kanowit and as extension to the current Kampung Muhibbah. I believe the land identified for the project is still available. I wonder whether the project is still in the pipeline and if so whether it is going to be implemented anytime soon. As a matter of fact, there is a real demand for low cost and affordable houses in Kanowit. A number of people have approached me and asked me to take up the matter with the relevant authority. There have


40

been a few housing projects undertaken by private developers but the price of houses are high and therefore beyond means and ability of the low income group. Houses built by private developers costs around RM300,000 to RM400,000 for intermediate units and up to more than RM500,000 for corner units. Semi-detached houses can cost up to RM800,000 per unit.

Tuan Speaker, with such big prices of houses not many people would have the opportunity to buy and own a house. A great majority of potential buyers would have to wait for Government-sponsored housing projects which are more affordable. I speak for this particular category of people. The Government, I believe, is duty bound to provide reasonable and affordable house for the people. I am confident that the Ministry of Housing and Land Government as well as our State Housing Agency would always be mindful of the housing needs of the low income group including those who live in smaller town like Kanowit.

One-O ff Incentive for New Born Child

Tuan Speaker, the introduction of a new policy to provide a one-off incentive

RM1,000.00 for all new born Sarawak children fromt he year 2019 onwards is a most welcome move. I welcome it also. This is a far sighted policy and a long term investment on human capital. I am sure young parents, newly married couples and also the younger generation who would one day have children of their own would be delighted to know of having this policy designed by the Sarawak Government for them. From the short explanation given by Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri in his budget speech the incentive is for every new born child as long as he or she is a Sarawakian, and it is for everyone irrespective of race, creed or background. The mechanism and detailed methodology such as how to apply or register and so on has not been spelt out. I am sure it would be worked out eventually and be made known to everyone. Timbalan Speaker: Yang Berhormat Machan, you got one minute to conclude. YB Encik Allan Siden Gramong: Okay. I believe the procedure would be made as simple and straight forward as possible to avoid any unnecessary hassle and red tape.

Here I wish to, Tuan Speaker, here I wish to seek certain clarifications. A great number of Sarawakians are working or residing outside the State such as in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Brunei, Singapore and beyond. Their new born children in 2019 and the years after that may be born outside Sarawak. And not only that, they may be children of mixed parentage, such as the father or mother from another state or country. In such case are they alike as well to get the one-off incentive? This has to be made very clear to avoid confusion in future.

Conclusion Tuan Speaker, I wish once again to reiterate that I support the Supply (2019) Bill, 2018 with delight and excitement. I am delighted and excited because with big budget we can implement and accomplish several meaningful and high impact projects to benefit the people. Our people need roads and bridges and we need to build those roads and bridges. Our people are crying for electricity and water supplies. Do not let them cry for much longer. Please provide them with electricity and water supplies. Our people need good schools, clinics and hospitals. We need to ensure that their children receive quality education and everyone having access to health and medical care. Tuan Speaker, everyone wants a better quality of life and higher standard of living. All of us who have been elected as Members of this august House have been asking various


41

questions and raising a number of issues pertaining to our respective areas. Those questions and issues are relevant to the people we represent. We just hope all those questions and issues can be answered with reasonable attempt to solve the pressing problems on the ground. Finally, I would like to wish my Christian colleagues a Merry Christmas and everyone a Happy New Year. With that, I support the Supply Bill (2019), 2018. Thank you. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Opar YB Dato Ranum Anak Mina: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker, kerana memberi peluang kepada saya mengambil bahagian untuk menyokong Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 yang telah dibentangkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Patinggi Dr. Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg pada hari Isnin 5 November yang lalu. Sebelum saya meneruskan perbahasan, saya mengambil kesempatan mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan tahniah kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri atas pembentangan belanjawan yang begitu memberangsangkan untuk membangunkan negeri Sarawak dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kesebelas (RMK-11). Diharapkan keseluruhan rakyat Negeri Sarawak akan menerima baik apa yang dirancang oleh Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak yang dipimpin oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Ketua Menteri yang mana menjurus ke arah membangunkan kawasan luar bandar yang masih jauh ketinggalan terutama untuk menikmati keperluan asas seperti jalan raya, elektrik, air bersih dan lain-lain yang boleh memperbaiki kesihatan dan sosio-ekonomi atau taraf hidup yang lebih baik. Tuan Speaker, bajet bagi tahun 2019 bukan saja luar biasa tetapi juga menyediakan peruntukan yang besar untuk pembangunan yang belum dapat dikecapi sepenuhnya oleh rakyat Negeri Sarawak walaupun telah merdeka selama 55 tahun tetapi masih jauh ketinggalan dalam semua aspek dari negeri-negeri di Malaya. Dengan adanya bajet Negeri Sarawak sebanyak RM9.073 billion yang dibentangkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri untuk pembangunan dan RM2.481 billion bagi tujuan pengurusan disambut baik oleh rakyat Sarawak. Dari keseluruhan peruntukan pembangunan, RM6.049 billion atau 67% adalah bagi pembangunan luar bandar. Dengan adanya bajet yang besar untuk membangunkan kawasan luar bandar, maka dengan ini saya merayu supaya Kerajaan melalui kementerian-kementerian yang berkenaan mempertimbangkan keperluan pembangunan bagi rakyat di kawasan saya iaitu N.1 Opar.

Jalan Raya

Tuan Speaker, bagi kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri N.1 Opar, jalan yang sentiasa saya kemukakan dalam Dewan yang mulia ini adalah untuk menaik taraf jalan dari Jalan Biawak menuju ke Kampung Pasir Hilir, Kampung Kendaie dan Kampung Selampit yang mana panjangnya lebih kurang 29 kilometer. Kali ini dengan peruntukan pembangunan untuk luar bandar yang dibentangkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri semasa pembentangan bajet Negeri Sarawak, saya berharap Kementerian Pembangunan Infrastruktur mempertimbangkan untuk menaik taraf jalan ini kalau tidak sepenuhnya, setidak-tidaknya sebahagian jalan ini dari Jalan Biawak hingga ke Kampung Kendaie yang mana jaraknya dalam 12 kilometer. Jalan ini begitu penting bagi penduduk Kampung Pasir Hilir untuk berulang alik menghantar anak sekolah ke SK Kendaie dan ada yang menghantar


42

anak sekolah ke SK Holy Name Kampung Rukam. Jalan ini telah wujud lebih dari 20 tahun, tidak sepatutnya masyarakat di kedua-dua kampung ini terus ketinggalan dalam aspek keperluan asas.

Jambatan Tuan Speaker, Jambatan Selampit telah diluluskan pada bulan Disember 2016 dengan kos RM10 juta. Sepertimana dimaklumkan oleh pihak Jabatan Kerja Raya setelah membuat tinjauan kos sebenar yang diperlukan adalah RM30 juta yang mana masih menunggu kelulusan Kementerian Pembangunan Luar Bandar untuk tambahan RM20 juta. Memandangkan hingga sekarang ini tidak ada sebarang maklumat dari Kementerian berkenaan, saya mohon pada Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak menambah peruntukan yang ada supaya ianya tidak lagi menjadi isu penduduk di kawasan itu disebabkan ia adalah amat penting untuk anak-anak mereka berulang-alik ke sekolah bagi mereka dari Kampung Bitokan, iaitu seberang sungai. Begitu juga bagi mereka dari Kampung Selampit untuk membawa hasil tani ke bandar. Mereka selama ini hanya menggunakan sampan yang mana boleh mengundang bahaya.

Pengukuran Tanah Tuan Speaker, pengukuran Tanah Adat atau NCR sentiasa menjadi persoalan masyarakat dalam kawasan N.1 Opar. Mereka mempersoalkan kenapa tanah NCR kawasan ini tidak ada sebarang pengukuran dilakukan oleh pihak Jabatan Tanah dan Survei. Dengan ini saya mohon kepada Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak untuk mempertimbangkan membuat pengukuran tanah NCR dan juga pengukuran perimeter kawasan tanah kampung-kampung di kawasan N.1 Opar. Ada juga persoalan dari masyarakat kampung yang mana tanah mereka telah dibuat pengukuran menggunakan cara pengukuran dan dokumentasi Persatuan Kebangsaan Dayak Bidayuh atau lebih dikenali dengan DBNA yang mana dulu diperakui boleh membantu dan memudahkan pihak Jabatan Tanah dan Survei membuat kerja pengukuran bila dokumen dan lakaran kedudukan tanah individu keseluruhannya telah lengkap dimajukan ke pihak Jabatan Tanah dan Survei bagi tujuan memudahkan pihak mereka yang perlu ke lapangan membuat pengesahan yang ia telah dilakukan secara betul dan boleh digunapakai bagi tujuan mengeluarkan hak milik. Persoalan masyarakat yang telah membuat pengukuran secara DBNA yang lengkap, seperti yang dilakukan oleh penduuk Kampung Pueh dan telah dimajukan kepada pihak Jabatan Tanah dan Survei agak sekian lama tetapi belum ada tindak balas. Mohon pihak yang berkenaan menyemak dan mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya supaya kita tidak dilemparkan dengan tuduhan tidak berusaha untuk membantu rakyat.

Pendidikan Tuan Speaker, pendidikan adalah satu keperluan hidup masyarakat dalam dunia era digital. Kalau masa dulu bila menuntut ilmu persekolahan, memadai kita mempunyai buku, pensil dan buku bacaan. Tetapi masa kini pelajar bukan hanya ada buku dan pensil tetapi perlu mempelajari penggunaan alat elektronik. Untuk menggunakan alat elektronik atau komputer dan untuk melayari internet, perlu ada elektrik tetapi sekolah-sekolah di luar bandar yang tidak mempunyai elektrik dan menara telekomunikasi, macam mana nak belajar? Di kawasan DUN Opar terdapat sebuah sekolah iaitu SK Kendaie di mana talian elektrik melintasi bumbung sekolah tetapi sekolah tidak ada elektrik. Dengan ini saya memohon Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak melalui Kementerian yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk membantu supaya bekalan elektrik dapat disalurkan ke SK Kendaie. Guru Besar telah memaklumkan kepada saya minggu lepas yang dia telah mengemukakan masalah elektrik kepada Jabatan Pendidikan, tetapi tidak ada tindakan sampai ke hari ini.


43

Elektrik

Tuan Speaker, bekalan elektrik luar bandar bagi mereka yang membina rumah selepas kemasukan bekalan elektrik ke kampung mereka dan telah memajukan permohonan mereka sejak tahun 2016 untuk dipertimbangkan oleh Kemeterian Pembangunan Luar Bandar, tetapi sampai hari ini tidak ada sebarang balasan atau maklumat sama ada ianya lulus atau tidak, disebabkan itu mereka menunggu seperti menunggu bulan jatuh ke riba yang mana tidak akan jatuh. Maka hari ini saya mohon kepada Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak untuk mempertimbangkan kemasukan elektrik ke rumah-rumah mereka yang telah memohon yang mana jumlah keseluruhannya sebanyak 165 buah rumah dalam kawasan DUN Opar. Saya begitu sedih melihat anak-anak mereka yang mana ada yang terpaksa menggunakan lampu yang menggunakan bateri, yang mana kos perbelanjaan membeli bateri jauh lebih tinggi dari kos menggunakan elektrik.

Tuan Speaker, di sini saya harus mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Yang Berhormat Datuk Amar Hajjah Jamilah Haji Anu kerana berusaha untuk membantu masyarakat kami Bidayuh Salako, termasuk telah mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan Sarawak untuk membina pusat warisan Salako walaupun masyarakat Salako salah satu kumpulan etnik yang kecil, yang mana saya sebenarnya adalah dari Bidayuh etnik Salako.

Saya sendiri telah merancang dan menubuhkan Jawatankuasa Masyarakat untuk membina satu pusat warisan Salako dengan memohon dengan Kerajaan untuk membina Dewan Masyarakat dan juga padang futsal sebagai permulaan di atas tanah seluas lebih kurang satu hektar di kawasan tanah Dayak communal reserve berhampiran dengan tanah perkuburan lama orang Salako, tetapi ada dalam kalangan orang Salako menuduh kami menolak kubur nenek datuk mereka. Disebabkan itu Jawatankuasa Perpaduan Masyarakat Opar memindahkan dewan dan juga gelanggang futsal itu ke kawasan Kampung Serayan Baru, yang mana kampung itu kebetulan baru ditubuhkan.

Yang Berhormat Datuk Amar Hajjah Jamilah sebenarnya sentiasa bekerjasama dengan kami untuk membangunkan rakyat di Daerah Lundu dan secara kebetulan DUN N.3 Tanjung Datu dulu adalah N.1 Opar di mana kawasan pertama saya menjadi wakil rakyat pada tahun 2001 sebelum saya dipindahkan ke DUN Opar, saya bawa No.1 saja dan Tanjung Datu bagi kepada Allahyarham Tok Nan untuk mengambil alih jadi N.3 Tanjung Datu. Itulah kami sentiasa menjaga kepentingan rakyat Lundu bersama. Jadi terima kasih sekali lagi kepada Yang Berhormat Datuk Amar ADUN Tanjung Datu.

Tuan Speaker, sebelum saya mengakhiri perbahasan saya mengucapkan Selamat Hari Krismas kepada mereka yang menyambut Krismas dan Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul bagi yang beragama Islam dan Selamat Tahun Baru kepada semua. Dengan ini kepada semua, saya iringkan doa dalam bahasa Bidayuh Salako ataupun bahasa etnik Salako, “Raya Ramoh Dingin Sajuk Nyaman Terigas”. Kalau nak tahu makna dia, boleh jumpa direct kepada saya, saya akan ceritakan apa sebenarnya. Itu doa yang baik kepada kita semua. Untuk itu, Tuan Speaker, izinkan saya untuk menyokong Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 dengan usul membawa Resolusi Anggaran Perbelanjaan Pembangunan, 2019. Sekian, terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat, the sitting is adjourned and we shall resume at 2.30 pm this afternoon.

(Mesyuarat ditangguhkan pada jam 12.15 tengahari)

(Mesyuarat dimulakan pada jam 2.40 petang)

[Timbalan Speaker mempengerusikan Mesyuarat] Timbalan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, we will continue to debate on the Rang Undang-undang Perbekalan 2019, 2018. Yang Berhormat for Kalaka. YB Datuk Haji Abdul Wahab bin Aziz: Tuan Speaker, terima kasih kerana memberi peluang kepada saya mengambil bahagian dalam Perbahasan Belanjawan Negeri bagi tahun 2019. Tahniah dan syabas kepada Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Abang Zohari Tun Abang Haji Openg dan Kerajaan GPS Sarawak kerana telah membentangkan Belanjawan 2019 yang bersejarah iaitu membabitkan jumlah dana besar sebanyak RM11.914 billion dan 76% dari peruntukan tersebut adalah untuk perbelanjaan pembangunan. Ini dengan jelas menunjukan bahawa Kerajaan Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) memberi keutamaan kepada rakyat terutamanya penduduk di luar bandar dan kawasan persisiran. Sejumlah RM6.049 billion daripada bajet disalurkan untuk mempercepatkan pembangunan luar bandar yang merangkumi peruntukan untuk pelaksanaan Projek Tinjauan Mesra, Projek Transformasi Luar Bandar, Projek Kecil Luar Bandar dan Program Membaik Pulih Rumah Miskin di Sarawak. Projek-projek berkaitan mampu dilaksanakan kerana Sarawak bakal menjana RM3.897 billion pada tahun 2019 hasil kenakan cukai jualan 5% terhadap produk petroleum bermula 1 Januari 2019. Cukai jualan akan dikenakan kepada produk petroleum iaitu minyak mentah, gas asli, gas asli cecair, baja kimia dan gas kepada produk-produk cecair. Telah ditekankan bahawa cukai jualan petroleum tidak akan membebankan rakyat biasa dan cukai jualan yang dikenakan adalah dalam bidang kuasa Perlembagan Persekutuan di mana Kerajaan Negeri dibenarkan mengenakan cukai jualan negeri. Dan syabas kepada Kerajaan GPS Sarawak kerana memperuntukkan RM81.7 juta untuk membaik pulih sekolah-sekolah usang dan daif di luar bandar dan pedalaman Negeri Sarawak. Tanggungjawab ini adalah terletak dengan Kerajaan Pusat tapi malangnya, Tuan Speaker, sekali ternyata dalam Belanjawan 2019 Kerajaan Pusat tidak menunjukkan peruntukan untuk sekolah usang di Sarawak. Beginilah sikap tidak keperihatinan Kerajaan PH Pusat. Rakyat luar bandar dan persisiran Sarawak harus sedar bahawa mereka mempunyai sikap yang tidak prihatin terhadap masyarakat luar bandar di Sarawak. Memang ada komen dari Menteri Kerajaan Pusat mengatakan tindakan mengenakan cukai 5% ke atas produk petroleum yang dikeluarkan di Negeri ini akan memberi impak bukan sahaja kepada Petronas tetapi akan turut menjejaskan pasaran produk berkenaan. Sudah pasti Tuan Speaker, Kerajaan GPS Sarawak sudah mengkaji implikasi tersebut sebelum bajet dibentangkan dalam Persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri ini. Kerajaan GPS Sarawak, Tuan Speaker, memang mempunyai perancangan yang baik dan mereka tentu sekali melaksanakan program-program dan juga dasar-dasar yang memberi impak yang baik kepada penduduk khasnya penduduk di luar bandar dan pesisiran. Ada juga ungkapan dari YB PH Sarawak mengatakan jangan jadikan projek sekolah daif sebagai Mesin ATM. Ini menunjukan begitu negatif sekali pemikiran beliau dalam perkara ini. Sepatutnya dia bersikap positif dengan mendesak agar Kerajaan PH Pusat memberi peruntukan besar bagi projek membaik pulih atau membina semula sekolah daif di negeri ini. Adakah suara beliau tidak mahu didengar oleh Kerajaan PH Pusat?


45

Tuan Speaker, ini menunjukkan juga ada YB, YB berkenaan yang tidak begitu prihatin tentang masa depan anak muda kita atau pun belia kita atau pun anak-anak sekolah kita di bandar untuk maju terus di masa hadapan.

Tuan Speaker, saya ingin mengemukakan beberapa perkara dalam kawasan saya untuk perhatian dan tindakan selanjutnya oleh agensi-agensi berkaitan.

Pertama, kawasan Kampung Hulu Saratok sudah padat dengan rumah-rumah persendirian, jadi perlunya menyediakan lagi sekurangnya 40 ekar kawasan tanah di kawasan Jalan Sawmill Saratok untuk lot-lot baru bagi perumahan orang kampung. Sekurang-kurangnya 300 lot rumah dapat dibahagikan dan diagihkan kepada mereka kelak. Dari itu perancangan harus dibuat bagi mempastikan agar lot-lot perumahan mencukupi bagi permintaan masyarakat kita di Kampung Ulu Saratok.

Kedua, difahamkan di kawasan Pagan, sebelah hilir Kampung Melango Lama Saratok, Kerajaan telah mengambil alih dan membayar pampasan kawasan tanah untuk lot-lot perumahan beberapa tahun yang lalu. Malangnya, Tuan Speaker, hingga kini kawasan tersebut belum disukat/disurvei untuk lebih 400 lot perumahan. Jadi saya harap agensi berkaitan akan mengambil tindakan selanjutnya supaya lot-lot rumah dapat diagihkan segera kepada penduduk yang sangat memerlukan. Jangan biarkan kawasan tersebut jadi belukar atau hutan rimba sekali lagi yang boleh mengundang berbagai masalah di masa hadapan.

Dan juga Kerajaan kita harus prihatin bahawa masalah ini harus ditangani dalam masa terdekat dan jangan biarkan keadaan masyarakat kampung kekurangan lot-lot tanah untuk perumahan.

Keempat, Tuan Speaker, Projek Bekalan Air Bersih untuk kawasan di Kampung Kaba, Repat dan Lubok Nibong perlu dipercepatkan. Dianggarkan projek tersebut memerlukan peruntukan sebanyak RM15 juta. Dan diharap Kerajaan Negeri mengambil alih projek ini supaya penduduk di kawasan tersebut dapat menikmati bekalan air bersih sebelum tahun 2021.

Projek Rumah Mampu Milik (RMM) sangat diperlukan untuk kawasan Pekan Saratok. Dari itu, saya cadangkan agar pihak Housing Development Corporation (HDC) mengkaji keperluan ini dan kiranya ada baki lagi kawasan tanah untuk perumahan di Taman Seroja Indah, Kerupok, Saratok, HDC boleh bangunkan kawasan tersebut untuk projek perumahan bagi golongan yang berpendapatan sederhana.

Tuan Speaker, dengan ini saya menyokong Usul Belanjawan bagi tahun 2019. Terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Muara Tuang. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Now let me go straight to the point because of the shortage of time. Budget Persekutuan 2019 amat menghampakan, berbagai komen dalam sosial media dan juga di merata tempat pelusuk negeri Sarawak, kita telah dengar dan terima, ada yang mengatakan bajet dari Kuala Lumpur untuk Sarawak dalam bahasa Sarawak nya “kus semangat, lokek gilak sidak Kuala Lumpur macam melepas batuk di tanggak.” Ada dikalangan orang Iban kita mengatakan “nadai insor wai”, dan Cina pun ada madah “kong pun bok yong”, ada lagi orang Melayu Muara Tuang mengatakan “jauh pak wilah” kita dapat maju benar-benar kalau bajet dari Kuala Lumpur macam ini.


46

By enlarge, it is described as a sad day for Sarawakians, why they said all this thing? It is because of the fact despite being the largest producing state of the nation in oil and gas and despite Sarawak has been sucked dry day and night of its oil and gas in order to keep this nation offload for the last 40 to 50 years, what we got annually and partly just bitten. With that kind of allotment of RM4.3 billion, how can we meet the State demand to transform its massive rural areas and dynamic town areas?

We have been colloquially, alertly left in a small boat facing big waves and poised to sink because the chunk of the Federal budget for Sarawak is noticeably meant for Pan Borneo Highway Project. If that is the case, we would definitely be under funded. The Federal Government has lost sight of our glaring needs to built all the web of rural roads, of stretching rural electrification, dive needs for standard and good education, good schools, good teachers and many more. Needless to say our social economic challenges on stimulating our economy, addressing our housing deficiency, eradicating property, upcoming an unemployment, enhancing commerce industry including bumiputera and enhance the capacity and participation in contracts. Its equality or rather an inequality is measureable between Sarawak and another State in Malaysia. I believe, yes, we can look at our roads, look at our development especially in rural areas, our schools in particular are mostly in dire need of repair, our healthcare or hospital or clinic, our housing needs, the internet coverage which our young people, especially school going children, college boys and girls have very much to hope for.

How far have we been left behind? Did our Semenanjung brothers who are in power all this while see the need for us transform the State with the more balanced development whether it is in the town or rural areas? What is the equitable development for us, what is better standard of living that we need to have? These are the questions before the Federal Government prepare a budget, they must look at all these and get consulted. We are not asking for KLCC or KLIA or anything like that, mammoth of development to be placed in any part of Sarawak. So it was a sad day on 2nd of November but on the 5th of November, we have the budget Sarawak for 2019. Our Chief Minister, have very much arisen to the occasion with dignity like a true Statesman and a leader responsible enough for Sarawak. He did not just deliver any ordinary budget but the budget which was transformative for Sarawakians as well as other Malaysians, he has built us a ship big enough, to brace the wave and face the tempers into a brighter future.

Walaupun bajet dari Kuala Lumpur tidak menyenangkan, Ketua Menteri kita telah datang membawa berita baik untuk rakyat Sarawak. Bajet Sarawak 2019 berjumlah lebih daripada RM10 billion itu yang dibentang oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Abang Joe adalah yang terbaik dan terbesar dalam sejarah Negeri Sarawak. Paling istimewa tentang bajet Sarawak ini ialah RM10 billion lebih itu bukanlah dijangka untuk mengguna rizab atau wang simpanan Negeri Sarawak. Ianya adalah dari sumber-sumber pendapatan kewangan yang pelbagai serta dari percukaian baru menerusi Sales Tax Ordinance, 1998 ke atas produk-produk petroleum dan gas yang diekspot.

Yes, you can liken us to being left in a small boat facing the sea but Yang Amat Berhomat Ketua Menteri Sarawak has placed Sarawakian in safe hand under the GPS Government. In fact, he has built for us a ship, a fleet of ships actually, big enough for us to brave the wave and tempers so that we can be home and drive in the future. A better place for Sarawakian especially our young. Kudos to the Yang Amat Berhormat. Thank you Sir.

Tiada janji-janji pun Kerajaan GPS sudah buat dan bikin. Apakah lagi kalau dijanji? We know what a good budget is when we see one. Sarawak Budget 2019 is also what I call a flagship budget with flagship policies to transform Sarawak. Some PH Leaders commented in a way showing their true color. showing their true color, instead of being sympathetic to help make Sarawak catch up with other State.


47

Some just shows to be oblivious. Others just make statements that suit their political position rather than the well-being of Sarawakian. You can read their evasive soft history from their public statement in the press as well as on the internet.

One minister of the PH from the Federal Government gave a statement which was unbecoming of a Minister. When he said that because Sarawak political leaders supported a corrupt BN Government at the Federal level, that’s why we find the budget so poor. I am saying this, this statement is a political statement. A statement which is loaded with spite and vendetta. Now let me make it clear here that the GPS had nothing to do with any corruption across the South China Sea. In particular the 1MDB or any of its businesses, GPS has nothing to do with it. We are in the dark as much as many others are in the dark. There is no way you can attribute any criminality or any connection at all its not happening, this is unbecoming. Same thing, there is one Assistant Minister making statement so blatantly saying that well, for example like the NCR and all those payments for the Ketua Masyarakat and so on, so on, actually we are not in the Federal list or something like that. It’s not the Federal obligation but mind you in the past because of the sympathy and the empathy of the previous Federal Government side through urging and insistence by our own representative from the Federal side, we got help in these areas. Now, what do we hope in the budget? Whether it’s Federal or State, what do we hope in the future budget? Now we have the MA63, now we have the Consultative Committee just formed and yet to be launched but what we want is the Federal Government must work with the State Government and consider all our rights, Sarawak rights under MA63. They must consider all our programs for the people. They ought to have known that we have transformation programme. It cannot be oblivious or myopic of what we are heading for. So, what I am saying is that from now on, with the help of the Consultative Committee a central focus for us is to see the Sarawak will obtain the respect by the Federal Government in all fields for which our rights in MA63 is spelled out as well as for the Constitution sake. Now one Yang Berhormat for Kota Sentosa did touch on PDA 74, some says like him that was void ab initio. I believe the Consultative Committee would look into this in detail of which I believe I will be one of them as a member. It is not void ab initio, it is voidable, it is void and it is for this reason Federal Government and Petronas must sit down and respect on us, listen to us. We cannot lie upon documents which are embedded from Malaysia. Now enough exploitation, enough bully if I may use the word, they must respect us. They must respect our rights under our Land Code and all the other laws which the State has reserved as its rights including the Oil Mining Ordinance and now in this budget that our Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri had delivered a Sales Tax Ordinance. Let’s not to worry about it. This are our absolute rights to enforce. We want them to respect the constitution of Malaysia as well as the constitution of Sarawak and the laws of Sarawak. Why? There are so many reasons because for example like the inception of the PDA, the 70s, early 70s situation then were different. The setting, the global setting, the region setting are different, the economies are different, now is different, now is different. That’s why I said voidable, voidable but can be validated... (interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Muara Tuang, one minute to conclude. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang: One minute to conclude? Timbalan Speaker: Yes. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang: Now I urge our PH brothers here and sisters who are part of the Federal Government to behave like a Government. Enough of your mentality for taking Government of the State. Be constructive as much as you can, that’s what we want, and we will reach out to you as much as you can reach out, to us, to help Sarawakian. Somebody has said that GPS people are not matured enough. Well, Tun Mahathir Yang


48

Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri did acknowledge that the PH Ministers, Assistant Ministers so on are very much inexperienced and some are making conflicting statements. What more to say some janji-janji dalam manifesto, tidak dihiraukan lagi. Some promises to reduce the price of oil as soon as they become the Government. Some only say that they only shuttle talk could be reduce. We are not playing badminton between here and Semenanjung. We want real things.

So before I conclude, I would like to say this also that the Federal officers in the civil service must be inducted. They must understand how Sarawak is facing all these challenges, the reality, the terrain that we are facing, the people’s diversity. People were spread all over in the place bigger than most State in fact as much as Semenanjung. Now, some of these people have become Little Napoleon and some have set up bureaucracy even before, what more to say now we won’t know. If PH Government can overcome this, they have my greatest respect. That’s why Borneonization is one of those thing that we have under the IGC. To be, what we call one of the safeguard that Sarawak must have.

Timbalan Speaker: Muara Tuang, you are running out of time. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang: One minute. Can I have just one minute because of this point. Timbalan Speaker: You better conclude. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Bin Haji Buang: Ya. So, we want PH Government, the Federal side to work with the State side in the best possible manner do our way with Little Napoleon, do away with bureaucracy, get Sarawak to the fore front with whatever programme that you want. Please, I’m saying this not because of politic at all, no. I’m saying this from bottom of my heart for the people of Sarawak. Timbalan Speaker: Okay, time is up. YB Dato’ Haji Idris Haji Buang: Thank you. I support the Bill. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Simunjan. YB Encik Awla Bin Dris: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Terlebih dahulu saya ingin menzahirkan terima kasih kerana memberi peluang kepada saya untuk menyokong Ucapan Belanjawan Bagi Tahun 2019 yang telah dibentangkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri, Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg pada 5 November 2018 lalu di Dewan yang mulia ini. Tuan Speaker, setelah diperdengarkan ucapan Belanjawan Sarawak 2019 itu, kita amat bertuah kerana belanjawan ini melakar sejarah kepada Negeri Sarawak iaitu belanjawan yang tertinggi dengan peruntukan berjumlah RM11.91 billion. Saya yakin seluruh rakyat di Negeri ini akan dapat menikmati pembangunan yang mampan dengan perbelanjaan pembangunan sebanyak RM9.07 billion dan RM2.84 billion diperuntukan bagi perbelanjaan operasi. Oleh yang demikian, besarlah harapan saya mewakili masyarakat di kawasan luar bandar terutamanya dari kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan turut menerima tempias pembangunan yang didahagakan selama ini. Saya selaku wakil rakyat dari kawasan luar bandar semestinya mengharapkan perhatian dari Kerajaan Negeri untuk menyahut suara dan rintihan kami yang ingin sekolah daif terbina baharu, bekalan air bersih sentiasa tersalur


49

dan bekalan elektrik menerangi kediaman serta jaringan jalan raya yang setaraf dengan kawasan bandar. Menurut peruntukan sejumlah RM6.05 billion pembangunan bagi kawasan luar bandar yang diumumkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri di dalam ucapan belanjawannya yang lalu, saya yakin Kerajaan Negeri komited untuk melaksanakan projek menaik taraf dan membina semula terutamanya kemudahan asas untuk kami. Tuan Speaker, pada Mesyuarat Pertama Bagi Penggal Ketiga Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak Kelapan Belas yang lalu, saya telah mengusulkan agar projek Bandar Baru Simunjan ataupun Simunjan New Township diwujudkan di daerah Simunjan. Namun sehingga kini, tiada tindakan susulan dari Kerajaan Negeri untuk merealisasikan permohonan ini. Pengwujudan Bandar Baru Simunjan atau Simunjan New Township ini amatlah ditagih ketika ini di DUN 25 Simunjan. Ini kerana keadaan pekan Simunjan yang kian sesak dan fenomena hakisan serta jalan masuk ke pekan Simunjan iaitu Jalan Kampung Nanas masih sempit. Pada kesempatan ini, saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri kerana telah meluluskan peruntukan sebanyak RM6 juta untuk pembesaran jalan di Kampung Nanas dan peruntukan sebanyak RM10 juta untuk projek penahan hakisan tebingan sungai semasa lawatan Program CM Walkabout Project yang lalu. Namun begitu, di Dewan yang mulia ini saya ingin mengusulkan sekali lagi pengwujudan Bandar Baru Simunjan atau Simunjan New Township amat diperlukan kerana hasrat ini merupakan keluhan utama masyarakat setempat di DUN 25 Simunjan yang kini rancak disuarakan di media sosial. Tuan Speaker, seperti yang sedia maklum, Parlimen Batang Sadong terkenal dengan jambatan yang terpanjang merentasi sungai iaitu Jambatan Batang Sadong. Selain daripada itu, daerah Simunjan juga mempunyai beberapa jambatan lain seperti Jambatan Simunjan iaitu di Sageng dan jambatan di Gedong. Namun fasiliti jambatan itu tidak dilengkapi bekalan elektrik seperti lampu jalan untuk menerangi kawasan sekitarnya. Keadaan ini amat berbahaya kepada pengguna yang melalui jambatan tersebut. Kemudahan lampu-lampu jalan di setiap kampung di kawasan DUN 25 Simunjan juga amat diperlukan memandangkan Simunjan menjadi laluan alternatif penduduk menuju ke bahagian berhampiran seperti Bahagian Samarahan, Bahagian Serian dan seterusnya ke Bandar Raya Kuching.

Selain daripada itu, masih terdapat beberapa kampung yang belum menerima bekalan elektrik seperti Kampung Sungai Jong dan Kampung Sedilo.

Untuk makluman Dewan yang mulia ini, masih ramai penduduk kampung menggunakan generator. Keadaan ini memaksa mereka untuk membelanjakan kos yang tinggi membeli bahan api memandangkan pasaran harga petrol dan diesel tidak menentu.

Di sini juga saya ingin mendedahkan mengenai permasalahan gangguan bekalan eletrik selalu berlaku di daerah Simunjan. Gangguan ini kadang-kadang berlaku selama sehari.

Maka dengan peruntukkan yang telah diumumkan, saya berharap agar Kerajaan Negeri melalui Kementerian berwajib memberi perhatian dan mengambil tindakan untuk menyediakan kemudahan asas ini.

Tuan Speaker, melalui peruntukan sejumlah RM81.7 juta untuk membina semula sekolah-sekolah daif yang diumumkan dalam belanjawan, di Dewan yang mulia ini, saya ingin merayu agar sekolah daif di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan turut diberi perhatian.


50

Untuk pengetahuan Dewan yang mulia, sebanyak dua buah sekolah menengah dan 13 buah sekolah rendah yang perlu dinaik taraf bagi keselesaan para pelajar ketika menimba ilmu.

Selain itu, kuarters dan rumah kediaman guru-guru dan kakitangan sekolah terlalu uzur dan daif untuk didiami. Ada di antara mereka terpaksa berulang-alik dari bandaraya Kuching ke Simunjan untuk menunaikan tanggungjawab mendidik anak bangsa di kawasan saya.

Ingin juga saya dedahkan di sini, ada di antara sekolah di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan mengalami masalah kekurangan fasiliti dan kemudahan kerusi dan meja, papan tulis, alat bantu mengajar dan padang permainan yang serius.

Maka besar harapan saya agar Kementerian berwajib meneliti perkara ini dan mengambil tindakan untuk mengatasi masalah ini agar nasib anak bangsa juga terbela.

Tuan Speaker, pada Dewan yang mulia ini, saya sampaikan hasrat dan keinginan para pertani dan nelayan di kawasan saya yang merupakan golongan yang menyumbangkan ekonomi terbesar di N.25 Simunjan.

Memandangkan harga komoditi lada, sawit, getah dan sebagainya mengalami penurunan harga, maka mereka merayu agar Kerajaan Negeri dapat membantu memberi subsidi baja dan mengambil inisiatif untuk mengukuhkan kembali harga pasaran hasil komoditi tersebut.

Saya juga telah mengenal pasti tanah NCR yang boleh dibangunkan untuk penanaman hasil pertanian seperti tanaman pisang, jagung, nanas dan lain-lain yang boleh membantu meningkatkan ekonomi penduduk setempat jika dibangunkan.

Seterusnya, para nelayan di kawasan saya merupakan nelayan sungai dan pendapatan mereka terlalu rendah. Maka mereka memohon bantuan kelengkapan nelayan seperti bot dan keperluan-keperluan yang lain. Bagi membantu masyarakat setempat menjana pendapatan dengan menjual hasil tanaman dan tangkapan nelayan, saya mencadangkan Kerajaan Negeri untuk membina semula atau menaik taraf pasar tamu yang sedia ada.

Oleh kerana prasarana itu kini amat sempit sehingga para penjaja terpaksa menjual hasil tersebut di kaki lima jalan yang menyebabkan kesesakan lalu lintas terutamanya pada waktu pagi.

Di Dewan yang mulia ini, sekali lagi saya ingin menarik perhatian Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat agar penwujudan institusi pendidikan atau pusat teknikal dibina di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan.

Pada mesyuarat kedua bagi Penggal Ketiga Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak Kelapan Belas yang lalu, saya telah mengusulkan perkara ini namun sehingga kini masih belum mendapat maklum balas dari Kerajaan Negeri.

Antara institusi yang perlu diwujudkan adalah seperti Kolej Komuniti, Pusat Giat MARA, CENTEX dan lain-lain institusi kemahiran yang berkaitan. Dengan adanya kemudahan pendidikan yang disediakan oleh Kerajaan Negeri, saya yakin lebih ramai golongan belia berintelektual lahir dari DUN N.25 Simunjan.


51

Selain daripada itu, ianya dapat membuka peluang pekerjaan serta mengurangkan kadar pengangguran golongan belia di kawasan luar bandar yang ramai tercicir dari arus pendidikan.

Dalam masa yang sama, pembinaan institusi pengajian dan pusat kemahiran juga akan membuka peluang pekerjaan kepada masyarakat setempat dan seterusnya dapat mengurangkan kadar pengangguran di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan.

Tuan Speaker, kekhuatiran yang melanda di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan kini adalah gejala penglibatan golongan remaja dalam masalah sosial seperti pengambilan dadah dan perjudian atas talian.

Masalah ini kian menular sehingga melibatkan ramai pelajar sekolah yang terpengaruh kepada aktiviti negatif berkenaan.

Saya berharap pihak berkuasa dan agensi penguatkuasaan berwajib agar mengambil tindakan terhadap premis perniagaan yang melakukan aktiviti penjudian nombor ramalan judi secara haram di kawasan DUN N.25 Simunjan. Saya amat runsing gelaja ini semakin meningkat hingga menjurus kepada kegiatan pecah rumah, mencuri dan meragut.

Tuan Speaker, Simunjan tidak terlepas daripada masalah hakisan tanah, seperti yang berlaku di Kampung Sageng Hilir sehingga mengakibatkan jalan terputus dan belum dibaikpulih sejak tahun 2016.

Sehubungan dengan itu, saya memohon Kerajaan Negeri melalui Kementerian berwajib untuk turun padang bagi melihat sendiri keadaan semasa yang menjadi kerisauan penduduk setempat dimana telah banyak rumah dipindahkan dan perkuburan Islam turut dipindahkan akibat hakisan tanah begitu serius.

Selain daripada itu, banyak kampung-kampung di DUN N.25 Simunjan memerlukan benteng (ban) atau tambatan banjir seperti Kampung Simunjan Jaya, Kampung Tabuan Iban dan beberapa kampung di kawasan zon Rangawan.

Kampung-kampung tersebut sering mengalami masalah banjir ketika musim tengkujuh. Oleh itu, saya berharap agar pembinaan benteng (ban) ini dapat dilakukan secepat mungkin memandangkan musim tengkujuh akan berlaku tidak lama lagi. Dengan terbinanya kemudahan ini, ianya juga dapat meningkatkan hasil pegeluaran tanaman para petani setempat.

Tuan Speaker, tebingan Sungai Batang Sadong juga perlu dibangunkan untuk tujuan riadah dan sukan air. Untuk makluman Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, projek benteng hakisan sepanjang 560 meter di Pekan Simunjan yang menelan kos RM13 juta telah siap awal tahun ini.

Saya berharap Kerajaan Negeri dapat meluluskan peruntukan bagi tujuan pengindahan benteng hakisan tersebut untuk dinaik taraf. Kawasan ini juga merupakan tapak Pesta Simunjan yang diadakan secara dwi tahunan.

Disamping itu juga, masyarakat setempat serta pengunjung luar dapat melihat kehadiran Benak di Sungai Batang Sadong dengan kemudahan Tebingan Sungai itu nanti. Tebingan Sungai itu juga boleh dijadikan lokasi untuk penggemar aktiviti memancing dari daerah Simunjan dan sekitarnya ...(interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Simunjan, you got one minute to conclude.


52

YB Encik Awla Bin Dris: Okay. Sebelum saya mengakhiri ucapan ini, saya yakin Kerajaan Negeri akan mencapai rekod pendapatan negeri yang tinggi iaitu RM10.51 bilion pada tahun hadapan seperti mana yang diumumkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dalam ucapan belanjawannya.

Dengan kewibawaan dan kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri, saya pasti inisiatif Kerajaan Negeri untuk meneroka sumber pendapatan baharu termasuk mengenakan cukai jualan lima peratus ke atas produk petroleum akan terlaksana untuk manfaat seluruh rakyat Sarawak.

Dengan ini saya mohon menyokong ucapan Belanjawan Negeri bagi tahun 2019. Akhir kata saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Natal kepada rakan-rakan yang meraikannya dan Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru 2019. Saya akhiri dengan dua rangkap pantun.

Belanjawan sudah dibaca, Semoga ia menjadi panduan, Kalau sungguh bagai dikata,

Jangan lupak dengan Simunjan.

Dan pantun saya yang ke dua.

Dalam parit ada biawak, Bulan puasa minum selasih,

Mari kita pertahankan Sarawak, Itu sahaja Tuan Speaker terima kasih.

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Tanjong Batu. YB Chiew Chiu Sing: Tuan Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to participate in the debate on the Supply Bill 2019, 2018 which was tabled in this Dewan on the 5th of November, 2018.

Tuan Speaker, in many countries, tourism is the backbone of their financial hubs, earning tones of money every year.

We see this not only in other countries, but also we see it right here in our own country as well, how in many parts of our country, especially in peninsular Malaysia and Sabah, tourism has really grown and contributed so much to the betterment of livelihood of the people there.

Many get jobs and get better income because of it. Businesses old and new grow, while a whole line of ancillary services that are related to it also grow, because it is relatively easier for us to participate in that type of business, regardless of who we are, whether we are Chinese, Malay, Orang Ulu or Dayaks or others. Each of us can use our own ingenuity to create our own businesses. And the end, result could be quite incredibly astonishing, creating a very vibrant economy.

Thus, Tuan Speaker, I strongly believe that we have to start off the tourism industry in Bintulu immediately, to bring in the people to Bintulu to see our way of lives, our culture, our geographical, historical facts and others while they pay to stay in our Inns and Hotels, to eat and shop and benefit as well as various other travel accessories.

While much of the Bintulu success has been relying on the trickling down of the petro chemical and the energy intensive industries, but that only caters for a certain, specific


53

sector of the economy which sometimes could malfunction and cannot bring down the impact it is supposed to bring.

Like for example, right now in Bintulu, so many new shop lots had been constructed and are vacant, not occupied. Businesses these days are slow and sales had fallen too. They have all been depending on the big industries all these while but now at this juncture in time it is not going very well.

There are many things that we can do, but one thing that many of us small timer can do and make some money would be tourism. We need to start somewhere but the thing is we must jump start it right now or else it will not happen.

Continuation of Encik Chiew Chiu Sing

Initially, we can start with what we have, the jungle track, the bird park and the whole Tanjong Batu beach area can become a great attraction when rightly and vigorously promoted. We can also have deep sea fishing at Beting Liku Selatan which is only 38 natutical miles from Bintulu.

A tourism industry player from Kuching told me that some South Koreans had contacted them recently and wanted to go deep sea fishing in Bintulu, but they are having a hard time just to rent a boat to do a package like four days, three nights excursion.

Then we can do right the Similajau National Park and we should really make it into a tourist hot spot. When my friend’s Chinese friends came from China and was brought to see the virgin jungle at the Similajau National Park, they were really really fascinated by the size of the trees and the thick forest which we have.

Then there is also the Niah cave, if visitors have a little more time they can visit this famous cave. Visitors can also visit the designated Longhouses if these longhouses are still, well receiving good attention by the foreigners.

There is so much and so many exciting things that we can do in Bintulu, but we are doing so little, so slowly, Tuan Speaker, we don’t even have a Bintulu tourist map. So let us start something now and do the basic development to these tourist spots first and later on we can further develop our scenic areas in phases.

I therefore urge that the Government to take up the challenge for the sake of the people in Bintulu and collaborate with the private sector to make tourism another success industry in Bintulu.

Tuan Speaker, situated at Tanjong Kidurong, the Bintulu deep sea Port is a very significant port in our country. Of late I am hearing of so many complaints from port users about the cargo delivery services.

Ships which normally take about a few days to unload are now taking about a week or even more to unload. Port is all about how fast you can clear the ship and avoid down time. The faster you clear the ship the more money you make.

Delays are costly and often incur penalties and or costs to all those concerns, from ship owners, all the ways down to the shippers, the importers and the whole logistic chain.

And then there is the opportunity cost also because of the delays. When unloading is delay, ships queue up in the sea to enter the port, some will turn away, some may not want


54

to come back anymore, leaving a black name for the port which could scare investors away also.

Apart from dealing with imported good, the Bintulu port also ship out other products from the Samalaju Industrial Park. Products like the ferro alloy, aluminum ingots, billets, etc etc. Then there is the SMDS oil products also. These are huge huge cargo, and coming in big big quantities from the factories. But, the port is not handling all these fast enough, causing big problems for the manufacturers, shipping companies, and the buyers.

Surely when situations like these arise, one ask, what is the port management doing about it, in terms of the port facilities, personnel, quality of the Quay and RTG crane as to why it is breaking down, I understand that more of them are not working than they are working and if it is true, how could it be? Whether it is because of maintenance? Or the crane quality itself, when bought, is just not good enough and caused so much down time. How about the weighing bridge, is it holding up the work?

How about the work force? Are there enough people to cope with the rising in volume of works? Are they highly motivated? Is it of a mix that can accommodate the needs of all, so that the work can go on even during special occasions? Is the management team functioning on its own to deal with the situation efficiently or just relying heavily on the consultant?

I understand that the problems of the Quay and RTG cranes and facilities are not just problems in the Bintulu Port but also in other ports of Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, as I have mentioned earlier that the Bintulu port is a very significant port, but Tuan Speaker, it is also a very strategic port. The life line of Sarawak and MLNG depends on it. Our LNG, fertilizer, oil products, crude oil palm, ferro alloy, aluminum and almost all exports of Sarawak go through it.

The port needs greater protection. The Chinese warships from China are sailing closer and closer up and down our shore and we cannot even go far enough into the South China Sea to see what is going on. It is high time that we should set up our Naval base at the Tg. Kidurong to provide the first line of defense. And in view of that what is the Sarawak State Government doing about the building of the naval base to protect our sovereign right.

Tuan Speaker, for the past two years or so many shopkeepers in Bintulu are having a hard time doing business. This is because the Bintulu Development Authority (BDA) is so strict in taking action again those shopkeepers who put some merchandise on the five foots way.

There are many reasons that the shopkeepers had left merchandise on the five foots way. On an average morning, shopkeepers are busy. Customers coming, some just looking, some asking the price, some making a deal, some buying while the towkay packs away the merchandise - sometimes on the side of the shop, taking a little space on the five foots way, for a little more working space to maneuver.

Other merchandise are left on the five foot way could be because the customer having bought the merchandise had left the package there for a while as he goes to next door to get something else. Or it could be the shopkeepers displaying their goods at the front of the door for a foot or so to attract passersby.

Tuan Speaker, it is very heart breaking, when you are working so hard to just sell an item earning, may be a few ringgit and before you can finish the sales and take a breath, you are slapped with a compound ticket of a few hundred ringgits. How many kilos of ikan pusu


55

would you have to sell to pay for the compound ticket? The pain and the humiliation is so heart breaking and is immediately felt by the towkay to the heart and I know that feeling.

As the way that the business is done in many part places in Sarawak, it is impossible

to keep the five foots way 100% clear and tidy and BDA is asking for that. None of us can do that 100%. Even BDA cannot provide a 100% municipal services. Flooding, clogged drains, missing drain covers, water puddles on the road, pot holes at road verge, faded road lines and wrong traffic directional lines, street lights not working etc etc they are so common.

When BDA cannot do a hundred percent job we the people just send in our request to ask them to rectify, and when that is not done, we request again and again. Sometimes it is just left undone and we just have to endure with it. What can we do? We cannot compound them, nor can we vote them out or have any say on how we are being treated.

I hope that BDA can be a little bit more flexible in this case, of goods on the five foots way. And I ask the Honourable Minister to help. Let them have a little working space to do their business happily every day. In fact, during the earlier days BDA had allowed for a space of two feets on the five foots way to display goods.

Tuan Speaker, ever since the construction of the new roads at the old airport in Bintulu, and half opened up for use about half year ago, people using the road going to the Bintulu old town are very very unhappy.

The new four lanes Old Airport Road had directed all traffic going to the Bintulu Old Town that palce, via it and the Law Gek Soon road, this measure had caused jam and extremely difficult especially for those at the BDA Shahida Commercial Centre side of the town. The traffic flow design there is most illogical, looping around and turning around to get from point A and point B.

All these had greatly affected the businesses of the BDA Shahida Commercial Centre and the nearby shops, as the front of the shop had become their backs and reaching them has to come looping from the back. As a result, less people are now driving there and businesses there have failed while occupancies of the shops there are becoming a problem.

It seems like the design of the new Old Airport Road gives easy access for some Bintulu new shopping malls but it gravely lacks consideration for the Bintulu Old Town.

So many had voiced their dissatisfaction of the situation there through newspapers, media, written letters and had met BDA since the opening of the new Old Airport Road, but their voices were never taken seriously.

The people therefore is asking that BDA to immediately construct the road going from Tg. Batu to the Bintulu Old Town via Lebuhraya Abang Galau, like it was before and to redesign the traffic flow for the Bintulu Old Town especially around the BDA Shahida Commercial Centre areas.

Tuan Speaker, the 2019 Budget will be the first time that the State is expected to achieve such a record high revenue of more than RM10 billion.

About 40% of which is from tax imposed on the petroleum products and that is RM3.897 billion. I can see much of these petroleum products are at the door of the Tg. Kidurong Petrochemical complexes of MLNG, ABF, SMDS and others in Bintulu.


56

Tuan Speaker, most of the sales of these products are on a contract bases with foreign countries where prices had been fixed. By imposing a sales tax on these products, the companies will have to find the 5% somewhere.

Most probably what they would do is to cut cost in the company, either cutting the

labour cost or cut expenditure and, when and if, that is done, it will have a big repercussion on the already slow businesses in Bintulu.

And if they don't cut cost and absorb it, their product cost may go up and make them less competitive and eventually may loss their contracts to other countries. I therefore urge that the administration to address this issue seriously before any economic damage is done.

Tuan Speaker, I would like to enquire on the status of Lot 16 and 19, Block 4 of the Selezu Land District, as the folks there are saying that those land actually are previously owned by the longhouse folks there before 1958, but had now become company land. This is causing much grievances and anxiety to the people staying there.

Tuan Speaker, the road to the New Nyigu Industrial road in Bintulu passes through two schools, the SK Baru and SMK Baru. These two-land high way is dangerous for the students when school gets off. So many ten-ton lorries, trailers and others pass through these two schools. And we can imagine the situation, big lorries rolling down the road and the students, small children crossing the road. That is why it is crucial that the new Nyigu Road be built without any more delay for the safety of these school children and also for the needs of the Nyigu Industrial Estate. And with that I end my debate. Thank you very much Tuan Speaker. Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Lambir. YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Thank you Tuan Speaker, I rise here to join the debate on Supply (2019) Bill, 2018 tabled by the Right Honourable Chief Minister on the 5th November 2018. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the Right Honourable Chief Minister for tabling the historical Budget ever in allocation of sum RM11.94 billion comprising RM9.073 billion or 76% for development budget and RM2.841 billion, 24% for operating expenditure. Indeed, this is highest ever budget for the State focusing on rural development as the priority with allocation RM6.049 billion or 67% from RM9.073 billion of the development budget. Despite economy atmosphere uncertainty in our country and the world economic giant United States versus China Trade World the total State revenue for 2019 is projected at RM10.513 billion. This is another history and a tremendous achievement as the State is expected to record high revenue of more than RM10 billion. Taking into account of an estimated total revenue of RM10.513 billion and proposed ordinary expenditure of RM10.391 billion. The proposed 2019 budget is expected to generate a surplus of RM122 million.

This is a proven that, the State Government healthy financial management and sustainability. Let’s work together to make Sarawak great by 2030.

Tuan Speaker, an introduction of a new policy whereby every new born Sarawakian child will be given one off incentive of RM1,000.00 and can only be withdrawn upon attaining the age of 18 and meant for their further education or as a capital to pursue their career. This one is well received by all Sarawakians. And I believe there is a positive impact to our younger generation or older generation out there. We hope that this incentive become a morale booster and will encourage more new born child every year. And the State’s population number can be increased drastically by 2030.


57

Tuan Speaker, congratulations also to the Right Honourable Chief Minister for being conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Economic Development by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak recently.

Tuan Speaker, before I proceed, I would like to touch a bit on the statement made by Member for Ba’Kelalan in regard of the NCR perimeter survey. We are not meddling about either the land matter is a State List or Federal List. But what we are concerned is about why the Member for Ba’Kelalan being a well-known NCR activist or lawyer. And then all this while condemning the Government of Sarawak about the NCR and the perimeter survey. But when he becomes a Federal minister and has the authority to negotiate with the Federal Government to get more fund to funding the perimeter survey work in the State but he just keeps silent and say this land matter is a State matter and its nothing related to the Federal Government.

But if we remember back, if we flashback, the previous Government had been allocating RM30 million per year since 2016 to help the Government to fund the perimeter survey work. Why the Pakatan Harapan always promoting their Government is much better than the previous Government but relating to the perimeter survey there is zero allocation in the 2019 budget.

So the question here is I think the Member for Ba’Kelalan no more interested in perimeter survey or NCR in the State. So this is we consider like a double face before he become a lawyer or an activist for NCR, now he keeps silent when there is no allocation being given for the State and the reason is land matter is a State list. So that is Pakatan Harapan.

Tuan Speaker, with this opportunity I wish to mention the needs and development issue in my constituency.

Telecommunication Coverage and Internet Speed. An allocation of RM50 million being approved by the Right Honourable Chief Minister

during his working visit at Sejiwa Senada Programme in Bekenu early this year. The allocation is to build more telecommunication tower and increase the internet speed in Lambir and Bekenu constituency. Therefore, we seek the relevant ministry or department to update us the progress of implementation of this project.

I also urge the Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) to speed up the implementation of this project especially in Bukit Peninjau, Bukit Kisi, Ulu Sibuti, Sungai Kelitang, Sungai Pidek, Kampung Kejapil, Semburo A & B, Kampung Opak, Kampung Danau, Kampung Subak, Kampung Sepurau, Kampung Nusah, Kampung Tiris and Kampung Sungai Butir.

Treated Water Supply and Water Supply Disruption. RM47 million has been approved by the Right Honourable Chief Minister this year.

RM42 million for N.71 Bekenu and RM5 million for N.72 Lambir. Hence, we want to know the latest development for this project especially for Kampung Nusah, Kampung Opak, Rumah Panjang Tuai Rumah Bulin and Tuai Rumah Phillip anak Langgi, Sungai Kara.

Water supply disruption frequently happen in Lambir and Bekenu constituency caused by (i) low water pressure and (ii) main pipe damaged by pan borneo contractor while they conducting earthwork and mobilisation of their machines. This water supply disruption caused difficulties and affecting daily life of longhouses and kampong folks as well as business community in these two constituencies. To ease the problem, even not well equipped, JBALB forced to help by sending mobile trucks with water tanks to the areas


58

affected. But this far than enough or able to solve the problem. Thereby, we urge the respective authority to ask the Pan Borneo developer or contractor to come out and assisting JBALB by providing the transportation and distributing treated water whenever water supply disrupted by them. In regard to low water pressure problems, I urge the Government to find the solution immediately.

Transfer Station and Sibuti Sanitary Landfill

To the Ministry of Local Government, I would like to ask what is the latest status for relocating the Transfer Station which has been pending for so long? This issue has been raised many times and the condition getting worst day by day effecting the residents at this area, especially for the students, the teachers and staff of Tunas Bakti School situated just next to the Transfer Station. Air pollution and unhealthy environment surrounded this school and villages nearby everyday for more than 20 years. Therefore, I urge the Ministry of Local Government to treat this matter seriously and find the solution once and for all.

Sibuti Sanitary Landfill

We received numerous complaint from the residents residing surrounding the landfill area. Millions of tonnes of waste accumulated at the landfill since year 2003, which is produced unhealthy environment to the villages at Kampung Subak, Kampung Kejapil, Kampung Opak, Kampung Keluru Tengah, Kampung Keluru Jaya and Kampung Sepurau. The rivers at Kampung Subak and Kampung Opak are heavily polluted. The situation becomes worst during rainy season and strong wind where the area has attracted flies and emits smell unbearable. After several series of visits by the officials from the State Ministry, Federal Ministry, as well as, Miri City Council Official and uncountable complaint from the public residing at nearby villages, nothing been done. I urge the responsible Ministry to look this matter seriously and relocating this landfill to a suitable location far from the residential area.

Flood Flash Mitigation Project

A sum RM10 million allocation has been approved by the Right Honourable Chief Minister early this year to eradicate the flash flood problem, especially in Taman Tunku Housing area, Sg Rait dan Tukau Residential Zone. Thereby, I would like to know what is the status of this project?

Land Acquisition for 2nd Bridge, Taman Tunku - Perkampungan Lusut

An application had been submitted to the Ministry and a copy to Land and Survey Miri Division to ask the Government to acquire part of the land Lot No. 173 and Lot 231 Lambir Land District for construction of 2nd bridge, Taman Tunku - Perkampungan Lusut. The said bridge is mainly to cater the needs of students and parents commute for daily to the schools, namely, SMK Riam, Taman Tunku and SK Dato Temenggung Muip. I hope the Government will approve this urgently.

Online Gambling by the Reload Card

With the advancement of the technology, the pattern of cyber gambling has changed to online gambling by buying the reload card or top up credit at any agent operating at convenience shop or stall at the roadside. Therefore, I urge the Government and all the telecommunication service provider to look at this problem seriously. Gambling apps can be accessed and download easily online. According to the report, the youngster is the main


59

customer and market target. This definitely not a good sign for our future generation as well as can caused more social problem in the community. Therefore, I urge the relevant authority to look this matter seriously and if possible enforce some law to prevent it damaging our future generation.

Residential Development and Market Price Manipulation

This issue has been discussed academically and widely debated but yet still no solution, no concrete approach to control and to curb the manipulation by so-called Market and Demand or by property players or developer pertaining to the property residential reasonable price. For years, the residential price has been escalated, commonly known as a Market and Demand Force Driven. A little known that the actual fact and reason. Hereby, I humbly, would like to suggest the Government to introduce a ceiling price system for Residential Development Project done by private sector. The Government can conduct the research or calculation the actual cost to build the residential building or houses in the urban, sub-urban and rural areas.

Private residential developer participation and understanding is highly crucial on finding the answer for this issue. Otherwise, the Government of the day will received the blame from the people.

Tuan Speaker, referring to the reply from the Assistant Minister of Housing during Question and Answer in this Dewan, in regard to IBS System, he said can reduce the cost of constructing residential building. Hereby, I would like to suggest to The Housing Ministry to construct the IBS Plant in Sarawak to cater the needs and support the Government effort to build more affordable houses for middle and low income group in the State.

Small Entrepreneur Micro Loan Scheme

I made to know that the existing Small Entrepreneur Loan Scheme which is currently available either at The Ministry or State Government Agency imposing quiet stringent term and conditions for approval. This situation doesn’t tally with small entrepreneur needs and ecosystem. Timbalan Speaker: Yang Berhormat Lambir, one minute to conclude. YB Encik Ripin Bin Lamat: Give me two minutes, Tuan Speaker. The Federal Agency, Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM), in short, is the main Micro Loan Service Provider in the State. AIM providing an Easy Loan Scheme to the women small entrepreneur as well new entrepreneur with 10% service charges. As reported, Sarawak AIM Micro Loan Borrowers are among the best in the country in terms of repayment surpassing the national rate at 99% with an almost perfect repayment.

Hence, I would like to suggest the State Government to establish or introduce an easy Micro Loan Scheme for small entrepreneur such as petty trader, fishmonger, burger stall operator etc. etc.

Total loan amount between RM1,000.00 to RM10,000.00 with minimal interest or service charges. This is definitely will help the small entrepreneur to venture into or expanding their business. Tuan Speaker, before I conclude my speech, saya ingin mengucapkan syabas dan tahniah atas pengendalian persidangan ini yang begitu baik sekali. Dan terima kasih juga kepada semua kakitangan Kerajaan yang membantu di dalam menjalankan persidangan pada bulan November ini.

Lastly, wishing Merry Christmas to all Christians and Happy coming New Year 2019. I hereby beg to support the Supply Bill (2019), 2018. Thank you. Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Saribas. YB Encik Mohammad Razi bin Sitam: Okay, terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Bismilahirahmanirahim. Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahita’ala wabarakatuh. Terima kasih Tuan Speaker kerana memberi peluang kepada saya untuk turut sama dalam perbahasan Bajet Negeri Sarawak 2019. Dan terima kasih terutamanya kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri kerana telah memperuntukkan jumlah yang besar untuk melaksanakan program pembangunan seluruh Negeri Sarawak khususnya di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak. Jumlah peruntukan RM9.073 billion merupakan bajet yang besar pernah dilakukan oleh Kerajaan Sarawak bagi merancakkan dan mempercepatkan pelaksanaan pembangunan di negeri ini. Jumlah RM9 billion itu juga jauh lebih besar daripada apa yang diberi oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan kepada bumi kenyalang ini yang hanya berjumlah RM4 billion sahaja. Seolah-olah Kerajaan Pusat tidak serius untuk membangunkan bumi Sarawak sebagai sebuah wilayah yang telah bersama membentuk Negara Malaysia pada tahun 1963. Pembentukan Malaysia yang kita sedia maklum pada masa itu adalah atas dasar semangat setia kawan dan saling mempercayai. Tuan Speaker, bajet RM4 billion daripada pusat itu hanya dinyatakan terlalu umum tanpa adanya senarai program pembangunan yang berimpak tinggi kepada rakyat Sarawak. Jauh bezanya dengan cara Kerajaan Sarawak yang lebih berterus-terang dan telus tentang projek-projek pembangunan yang bakal dilaksanakan menjelang tahun 2019 nanti. Projek pembinaan jambatan-jambatan, jalan-jalan raya luar bandar, penyelesaian masalah eletrik dan bekalan air, sekolah daif dan pelbagai program pertanian dan ekonomi penduduk adalah program pembangunan yang akan memberi impak yang tinggi kepada kehidupan rakyat Sarawak. Syabas Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri dan team beliau di dalam Kabinet Sarawak termasuk pegawai-pegawai Kerajaan Sarawak yang terlibat secara langsung dalam perancangan ini. Ini maknanya kita di Sarawak lebih telus dan berani membawa transformasi dalam pembentangan belanjawan pembangunan. Saya yakin ini yang rakyat nak telus dan jujur malah penuh dengan komitmen. Kepada rakyat Sarawak, kita lihatlah komitmen yang tinggi kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri Abg Jo kita untuk membawa Sarawak ke era baru cara pelaksanaan pembangunan Sarawak. Jangan kita mudah terpedaya dengan hasutan dan putar alam mereka-mereka yang sengaja untuk nak memperkecilkan usaha Kerajaan Sarawak ini. Malah, ada yang mengatakan bajet untuk Sarawak daripada Kerajaan Pusat yang terlalu umum itu dilihat seperti menganaktirikan anak Sarawak daripada arus pembangunan oleh Kerajaan Pusat. Seolah-olah mereka sengaja lupa yang penyumbang utama pendapatan negara datangnya dari bumi Sarawak ini iaitu hasil petroleum terutamanya. Benarlah kata-kata Allahyarham Tok Nan “mun minyak ngan gas ya di Semenanjung nun sik ku ambik pedulil, tapi mun di Sarawak aku ngambik peduli”. Jadi tidak salah bagi kita menuntut royalti yang lebih besar untuk anak Sarawak. Biarlah hasilnya kita nikmati sebagai empunya sumber tersebut. Kita baru tuntut 20% royalti tetapi mereka masih bermain dengan pelbagai muslihat. Mana janji-janji pilihanraya dulu mengatakan akan memberi Sarawak 20% kalau menjadi Kerajaan Pusat. Nah, dah jadi Kerajaan pun tapi masih berdolak-dalih


61

dengan pelbagai alasan. Bukan kita minta 100% pun. Sebab semangat setia kawan dan kepercayaan tu masih kuat lagi. Kita sedia bekerjasama demi kepentingan rakyat Sarawak. Baru-baru ini, Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri telah mengumumkan Kerajaan Sarawak akan mengenakan cukai 5% ke atas produk-produk petroleum yang masih di dalam autonomi dan hak kita sebagai Kerajaan Sarawak demi untuk meningkatkan pendapatan Sarawak. Itu pun dah ada suara-suara sumbang yang memutarbelitkan barang akan naik harga kalau ianya dilaksanakan. Kita bukan nak naikkan harga barang. Kita nak hak kita ke atas sumber yang datang dari bumi kita untuk rakyat kita. Kita nak PETRONAS sebagai syarikat monopoli mengurus sumber hasil Sarawak berkongsi keuntungan mereka dengan kita hasil tersebut akan digunakan untuk membangunkan ekonomi dan infrastruktur Sarawak yang luasnya hampir sama dengan Semenanjung.

Pembinaan Jalan Suri-Kampung Tuie dan Saribas Agropark

Tuan Speaker, saya mewakili penduduk Saribas ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri kerana telah menyenaraikan kelulusan pembinaan jalan baru dari Suri ke Kampung Tui yang bakal memberi impak yang tinggi kepada pembangunan bidang agro pertanian di Saribas. Dengan pembinaan jalan ini nanti, ia akan memberi manfaat kepada kampung dan rumah panjang di sekitar daerah Debak dan Spaoh. Justeru itu, saya mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan Sarawak untuk membangunkan sebuah Saribas Agro Park di sepanjang jalan tersebut dan sekitarnya dengan membuka pelbagai produk pertanian yang mempunyai potensi yang tinggi di pasaran.

Pendidikan dan Sekolah Daif

Tuan Speaker, bajet Sarawak ke atas pembangunan sekolah daif adalah wajar. Walaupun pendidikan adalah tanggungjawab Kerajaan pusat tetapi Sarawak tidak pernah mengenepikan komitmen terhadap sekolah-sekolah daif. Namun kita jangan lupa, usaha kita untuk mencapai 90/10 ataupun 90% guru-guru di Sarawak adalah anak-anak Sarawak, ianya adalah tuntutan yang berpatutan dan patut diteruskan. Ini adalah kerana ramai lagi anak-anak Sarawak yang menunggu peluang untuk berkhidmat sebagai pendidik di Bumi Kenyalang. Apatah lagi dalam keadaan ramalan ekonomi dijangka menurun boleh memberi kesan kepada peningkatan pengangguran dalam kalangan belia. Maka saya menyeru Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia peka dan ambiil berat akan tuntutan ini.

Begitu juga kesempatan ini saya mengulangi permohonan saya agar projek bina semula SK Sebemban Spaoh diberi keutamaan oleh Kerajaan Pusat melalui Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia. Sekolah ini pernah disuarakan sejak tahun 2013 ketika itu ia berhadapan dengan masalah hakisan sungai sehingga beberapa bangunan telah roboh. Tapak baharu yang telah diluluskan oleh Kerajaan Sarawak pada awal tahun ini telah dilawati beberapa kali oleh pegawai Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia dan kita mengharapkan ianya dapat dipercepatkan atau dengan kata lain jangan dibatalkan.

Tuan Speaker, izinkan saya terus menyentuh beberapa perkara lain berkaitan pembangunan di kawasan saya.

Cadangan Satu Daerah Satu Stadium Sukan

Sarawak banyak melahirkan atlet-atlet sukan yang mampu menjejakkan kaki ke kejohanan antarabangsa. Untuk menguatkan lagi penguasaan kita dalam pelbagai acara sukan, saya mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan Sarawak untuk membina satu daerah satu stadium sukan. Ini termasuk daerah-daerah besar dan daerah-daerah kecil seluruh Sarawak. Termasuk DUN Saribas yang masih lagi tidak mempunyai stadium sukan sebagai kemudahan penduduk kawasan saya.


62

Menaik taraf Jalan dari Kg. Buda, Jalan Kg Medang dan Jalan Dit Belassau

Tuan Speaker, saya memohon kepada Kerajaan untuk menaik taraf jalan-jalan berikut iaitu Jalan Tg. Assam/Kg Buda, Jalan Supa/Medang dan Jalan Dit/Belassau. Jalan-jalan ini perlu diturap untuk manfaat penduduk setempat. Saya memerlukan peruntukan khas di luar RTP ADUN untuk menaik taraf jalan-jalan yang dinyatakan ini. Ini adalah kerana RTP ADUN, RM5 juta tidak mampu untuk menaik taraf jalan tersebut yang memerlukan kos yang lebih besar. Itupun masih ada lagi suara-suara sumbang mengatakan duit itu dimakan oleh YB ADUN.

Subsidi Penyambungan Letrik ke Rumah Tuan Speaker, saya menyuarakan kehendak rakyat di DUN Saribas agar Kerajaan dengan menggunakan bajet Sarawak agar dapat mempercepatkan subsidi penyambungan eletrik ke rumah-rumah di kampung-kampung dan rumah panjang di kawasan saya. Walaupun Kerajaan Pusat tidak meneruskan bantuan subsidi ini namun saya mengharapkan Kerajaan Sarawak meneruskan bantuan subsidi ini khususnya untuk rumah-rumah baharu masih menunggu subsidi Kerajaan untuk menikmati bekalan elektrik.

Pemasangan Paip Air ke Rumah Buda Ulu dan Rumah Buda Ili

Saya juga ingin memaklumkan agar pemasangan paip air ke Rumah Buda Ulu dan Buda Ili dapat dipercepatkan tahun ini agar penduduk Rumah Panjang berkenaan dapat menikmati bekalan air bersih. Dengan peruntukan yang besar daripada belanjawan Sarawak dapat menyelesaikan perkara ini dan saya juga telah dimaklumkan oleh pihak JBALB bahawa projek ini telah berada dalam senarai mereka.

Skim Pembesaran Kampung

Izinkan saya sekali lagi dalam Dewan yang mulia ini memohon agar Kerajaan memberi kelulusan terhadap permohonan Skim Pembesaran Kampung di kawasan saya yang masih lagi menunggu kelulusan Kerajaan iaitu Kampung Serembang, Kampung Mangut, Kampung Balingan dan Kampung Melayu Debak. Saya juga mohon Skim Pembesaran Kampung yang baru untuk Kampung Tuie, Kampung Serabang, Kampung Supa dan Kampung Medang memandangkan pertambahan penduduk yang pesat di kawasan ini.

Pembinaan Anjung Usahawan

Saya juga memohon kepada Kerajaan dapat membina sebuah Anjung Usahawan di Saribas untuk memenuhi keperluan penjaja di kawasan saya.

Menaik taraf Tapak Pesta Ikan Buntal Saya memohon kepada Kerajaan untuk menilai semula pembangunan tapak Pesta Ikan Buntal di Kampung Mangut dengan cadangan menaik taraf tapak tersebut. Tapak tersebut perlu dinaik taraf kerana ia lubuk sumber ikan buntal Sungai Saribas berada di kawasan ini sehingga pesta ikan buntal menjadi acara tahunan di daerah Spaoh Bahagian Betong. Ia menjadi tarikan pelancong dari luar negara yang mahu mengkaji keistimewaan ikan buntal atau dengan gelaran Yellow Puffer Fish yang boleh dimakan dan datang bermusim itu. Malah ianya juga memberi pulangan ekonomi kepada penduduk sekitarnya. Jadi saya mohon Kerajaan meluluskan sejumlah peruntukan untuk menaik taraf pesta ikan buntal tersebut atas dasar sektor pembangunan pelancongan.


63

Penambahan Kuota Jawatan Ketua Kaum

Tuan Speaker, untuk mewujudkan keberkesanan pentadbiran dan kepimpinan di kampung-kampung di dalam konstituensi saya maka saya mohon Kerajaan membuat semakan dan penstrukturan semula keperluan kuota Ketua Kampung di DUN 35 Saribas. Saya memohon tambahan kuota Ketua Kaum khususnya di kampung-kampung berikut iaitu Kampung Tuie, Kampung Supa, Kampung Mangut dan Kampung Serabang mengikut pertambahan rumah-rumah baru di kampung berkenaan. Pejabat Daerah juga perlu mengemaskini data jumlah rumah dan isi rumah di setiap kampung di DUN 35 Saribas agar selari dengan data di peringkat perangkaan.

Pejabat Daerah Kecil Debak Tuan Speaker, Pejabat Daerah Kecil Debak kini agak sempit kerana ianya bangunan lama yang tidak pernah dibesarkan. Ruang pejabat dan bilik mesyuarat yang sempit perlu diberi perhatian. Saya dengan ini mencadangkan agar Kerajaan menaik taraf bangunan pejabat tersebut dengan membesarkannya agar memberi keselesaan kepada pentadbiran daerah ataupun agar Kerajaan dapat membina sebuah bangunan pejabat baru yang lebih besar dan selesa untuk pentadbiran daerah Debak yang menampakkan pertumbuhan penduduk yang pesat sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini.

Keperluan TV Sarawak

Tuan Speaker, saya juga ingin mencadangkan agar Sarawak mempunyai Saluran TV sendiri agar dapat menambah baik sistem penyampaian Kerajaan untuk rakyat Sarawak. Saya menyokong penuh usaha Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri untuk mewujudkan sistem TV kita sendiri agar mengurangkan kebergantungan kita kepada sistem yg ada yang berpusat di Kuala Lumpur. Ini adalah kerana masih banyak perkembangan yang berlaku di Bumi Kenyalang ini tidak sampai kepada sasaran khususnya anak Sarawak sendiri apatah lagi informasi yang berkaitan dengan pembangunan dan pelaburan ekonomi Sarwak di luar negara. Maka sudah sampai masanya kita berdiri di atas kaki sendiri dalam mengurus saluran TV Sarawak sendiri. Kita mempunyai ramai pakar dan tenaga kerja yang mahir di dalam bidang telekomunikasi dan penyiaran kini.

Jadi Tuan Speaker, dengan itu, saya menyokong Rang Undang-undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 dan usul untuk merujuk Resolusi Anggaran Pembangunan tahun 2019. Sekian, terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Any Honorable Members who wish to speak?

(Microphone problem at 4:20pm)

(Mesyuarat dimulakan pada jam 4.35 petang)

[Timbalan Speaker mempengerusikan Mesyuarat]

Timbalan Speaker: Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, I wish to apologise for the interruption to our proceedings due to the sound technical problem with our PA system. Now I would like to call upon Ahli Yang Berhormat for Padungan. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. Thank you, the technical problem is timely because in my speech I will touch on DUN reform. And one of the DUN reform that I am going to propose to the Speaker’s Office is the reform on the mic system. In conjunction of its 150 years anniversary celebration, instead of putting effort in organising all source of


64

competitions or events, the Speaker should look into the reform of DUN to make this august House an institution reflecting a true democracy.

The mic system that we have now, the so called high technology mic system is very different from the mic system in old DUN building. Whereby, in the old DUN building the Members in this august House will all have a chance to switch on the mic freely and to speak whenever that we would like to speak. But in the new DUN system, the mic system that we have now, we need to ask permission from the Chair to speak before the mic will be switched on for us, at least it is something against …(Interruption…) Timbalan Speaker: Yang Berhormat bagi Padungan, can you concentrate on the Budget. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Budget, we can cover anything under the sun. We can speak on anything under the sun and DUN reform is something very important and it is timely for when we celebrate 150 years anniversary. And I mean, for us to ask the permission from the Chair before we can speak is something against the democracy system because while we are Honorable, we are, because we are carrying the voices of the people to this august House and we should look at the Parliament. In Parliament, any of the Members can speak freely by switching on the mic.

And number two, another proposal that I would like to propose to the Speaker’s office is that the question of the Members should be answered promptly and not until the next sitting or on the eve of the sitting. And this is, we need the answer to update ourselves and also to have a better knowledge on the issues that we raised.

In Parliament we can get the answer, the Members of Parliament can get the answer on the sitting itself and they are not made to wait until the next sitting. And that is the house of 222 Members when we are talking about the Parliament, and we are only have 82 Members here, why can’t we do that.

And number three, the proceeding, the sitting of this Dewan should be made live and broadcasted to fellow Sarawakians or even throughout the whole world by using internet. For the benefit of those who are unable to come to the public gallery to watch the proceedings. And this are the few proposals that I would like to make and including the PAC meetings, should be available to public through live telecast following the recent reform in the Parliament.

And another one, I never come across any motion of the opposition Members in this House which has been allowed for debate. The Speaker has always, is always creative enough to strike out the Motion with all sorts of excuses with only one aim, to protect the Executive from answering the issues raised and this is a norm that the Speaker does not speak and in answering, in striking out the Motion, the Speaker always speak on behalf of the Ministers not only one Ministry but many Ministries. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Padungan, I think the Speaker has give his reasons for dismissing the motion. YB Encik Wong King Wei: I leave it for the Speaker’s office to answer my issue today. I move on another issue, on budget. The estimated revenue increase from RM6.9 billion in 2018 to RM10.5 billion in 2019. The major source of additional income is sales tax on petroleum products, a sum of about RM3.9 billion. We as Sarawakian take pride, not just because we have more revenue, but we take pride because, of how the Government or whether the Government is managing the revenue


65

that we have in transparent and accountable manner. When we look at the new sets of tax i.e. sales tax of 5% on the Petroleum products it affects the livelihood of the Sarawakian. Members from GPS including Members from SUPP has boast in their speech in this august House saying that “finally we are excising our rights toward imposing sales tax” but this is not something that we should take pride of as the 5% of the sales tax, we are going to expect a series of price hike in Sarawak. Whilst the Pakatan Harapan, Federal Government is working very hard to lower the price of the goods, GPS Government is nevertheless doing the contrary. RM3.9 billion extra revenues will be from the pocket of all the Sarawakian and in average each Sarawakian is estimate to bear each person RM1,400.00 per person per year in average, including infant, toddler, children or whoever or even senior citizen, retirees and anyone who has no income at all. A household of average five members will have to be burdened with RM7,000.00 per household per year. By getting rid of GST, the Pakatan Harapan Federal Government has lightened the burden of each Malaysian about RM750.00 per year and a household of RM3,750.00 per year in average. Now GPS Government impose additional new tax of RM7,000.00 per household which is going to double the burden of the Sarawakians. Timbalan Speaker: Honorable Member for Padungan, are you taking a clarification from Batu Kitang? YB Encik Wong King Wei: I have limited time. I am not taking his question particularly because he is making nonsense all this while. I have been observing the question he raises, I think he is wasting the time of this House, I believe a lot of Members here not speaking. Until unless you admit what you have done wrong, you do not even have the courage to do, to admit what you have said then you put the blame on the stenographer. It is unfair…(Interruption)… Timbalan Speaker: Okay, proceed Padungan. YB Encik Wong King Wei: They have been working day and night, until midnight. Then you say that they have simply recorded the word wrongly. Let see how GPS Government is managing this additional tax. Instead of making Sarawak an additional surplus of RM3.9 billion, 2019 budget projected only RM122 million surplus. It means GPS Government is spending all we are getting in the additional next year. The big chunk went into RM1.535 billion for new type of allocation i.e. for walkabout projects. For Walkabout Projects, just you walk around and you need so much of money, RM1.5 billion per year. Obviously this is an election budget for GPS for candidates of GPS to distribute it during walkabout, if it is for the benefit for Sarawakian, why not a single cents given to us as Pakatan Harapan (PH) ADUNs.

We are equally Sarawakian and we are representing Sarawakian in our Constituency as well. Further at this, know how extra ordinary huge of the Budget. It is how the fiscal is going to be manage. Transparency accountability is the call to the fiscal management, not the amount, not the figure, not the how extra ordinary huge of the figure. Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister disclosed that 282 Walkabout Project has been approved even before this Budget was tabled. RM6.3 billion has been budgeted or has been estimated for this 282 projects in average RM22 million per project and this is for work about. How can we give ADUN or Minister to do so on the spot to approve such a huge project on the whim and fancy? Yet, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Government is saying that you are managing the fiscal in proper manner. It is not.


66

The third issue that I would like to touch on is the office of State Secretary. We have over powerful State Secretary (SS). The current State Secretary is over powerful. It is something not healthy in democratic system. Chief Minister, Minister, ADUNS are elected by people. They are answerable to the people and fires through the election. They are subject to political scrutiny but Government Officers are not SS is needed. The current SS is over powerful and more powerful than ordinary Ministers. Minister have to subject to be question in this august House and to be question by the people but not SS. If his office is more powerful than Executive Members, who is going to question him or overwrite him? Secondly, for one person to wear so many hairs, he will not be able to discharge his duty efficiently. My colleague has raise in this Dewan numerous time… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Padungan, Honourable Member for Padungan, are you taking a question? YB Encik Wong King Wei: On the application for or citizenship have been sitting in SS office for months and years. I was made to know that SS is having 20 to 30 Governmental posts in various Statutory Bodies in GLC and CLC. I am listing out. Just out of few… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Padungan, are you taking? YB Encik Wong King Wei: Let me list out. Listen first. Listen to my justification before you jump up and down. Number one, I will list out 10 out of many.

1. Member for Management Board for Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC);

2. Board Member of PETRONAS; 3. Board Member of Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC); 4. Director to Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad; 5. Chairman to the Sarawak Development Institute; 6. Director to Sarawak Energy Berhad; 7. Director to Assar Asset Management Sdn Bhd; 8. Director to Syarikat Sesco Berhad; 9. Director to Regional Corridor Development Authority; and 10. Chairman of DBoS (Development Bank of Sarawak).

And I have this record of the attendance to the meeting in the Annual Report of SEDC 2017, which has been put on our table in this Sitting. Page 20, the record of attendance to the members of a Board of Director for Yang Berbahagia Tan Sri Datuk Amar Haji Mohamad Morshidi Bin Haji Abdul Ghani, the attendance of the meeting in 2017, one out of four. We believe he is unable to discharge his duty efficiently when he is wearing so many hats. I urge the State Government to scroll all his Governmental Position and total remuneration that he is getting. We have plenty of capable and experience Government officer who are capable to be appointed of some of the position that he is holding. It is not wise for the Government to lump many positions in one person and making over powerful. From more powerful than ordinary, the full Minister. From the where I see it, the current SS is acting like a Ketua Menteri bayangan. In which he is extending his power all over the Ministry… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Honourable Member for Padungan, you got one minute to wind up. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Something that has to be done and to correct it.


67

On the dilapidated schools, I want to touch on two points. Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister in his Budget Speech has made two misleading statement.

That he said, “Federal Government has never allocate any sum into 2019 Budget to for dilapidated school in Sarawak.” That is not true. The Budget has clearly stated that RM100 million will be allocated. For the repairement of the dilapidated school in Sarawak and on top of that, 652 million has been also allocated for the maintenance. I only have one minute, sorry. Unless… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Are you taking, ya, I can give you injury time if you taking question. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Ya, I just finish my sentence… (Interruption). Ok, just finish my sentence. Amounting to RM652 million has been allocated for the maintenance of the school nationwide and this can be for those dilapidated school which is not critically dilapidated and second point, second misleading statement saying that 1,020 dilapidated schools in Sarawak that is not true. The figure that I have gotten from the Kementerian Pendidikan, Federal…(Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Are you taking the question? YB Encik Wong King Wei: Ya, ya. I just finish this sentence. Only 206 dilapidated schools in Sarawak. I not sure why there is a huge discrepancy of the figure. And this figure is provided by Jabatan Pendidikan Sarawak. Ya, I give way to Assistant Minister. Timbalan Speaker: Okay. Ahli Yang Berhormat for Nangka. YB Dr. Haji Annuar Bin Rapaee: Thank you very much Ahli Yang Berhormat for Padungan as well as Tuan Speaker.

I want to clarify the National Budget stated RM100 million is correct. But it is not only for Sarawak, it is for the whole nation, RM100 million. I do agree there a certain portion main for maintenance as he made just now. So this RM100 million is main for whole nation not Sarawak only, okay? That’s number one.

The number of dilapidated schools 1,020 was initial one and initial one but you must remember 1,020 is divided into three category DS 1, DS 2, DS 3. DS 3 is the most severely dilapidated which is 415 in numbers. So, this year we have managed to clear 160 previous years about 50. So, that’s why the number become 200 plus which was stated by the Jabatan. But, if you were to use purely dilapidated it is not 415 only. It has to be DS 2 as well as DS 1. Okay. Having said that, let us be very clear on this dilapidated schools. It has been lot have been said about this and I would prefer both of us work together we go and see the Minister after this Dr. Maszlee and resolve this. This is for the people of Sarawak, nothing to quarrel with, you know, nothing to against each other. I am sure Yang Berhormat for Batu Lintang agree with me on this issue, okay. I am sure he agrees with me. Let us see the Minister okay, let us see the Minister of JKR, our own people, let us see the Minister of Education, Dr. Maszlee. We work together. This is so important. Let us have enough of this, okay. Let there be enough of this for today and let us work together. I am sure Padungan agree with me as well to work together. Are you okay? Thank you very much. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Thank you, Assistant Minister. That is why I want to point out there is a discrepancy of misleading statement in the Budget Speech but whatever it is, I agree with you, we do not need to politicize the education issues and we are ready to work together with the State Government in the Federal level and in the State level and together


68

we solve this issue. And the numbers of discrepancy I think is another issue but whether there is a political way for us both us both side sit down together to solve this issue that is the most important. If we can do that, I think the numbers we can sort out whether why there is a discrepancy, how much is the actual allocation that we need. Thank you. And if I may move on to another… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ya. You are in injury time now okay. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Okay, alright. My last issue is on hydrogen bus. We have kept in touch on this project. We have heard a lot about hydrogen bus projects or plan. But no details have been disclosed to the rakyat of Sarawak. I seek the Minister to disclose the full details of how much is the total estimation for the implemention of hydrogen bus system in Kuching by providing breakdown like for example the expenses on the purchase of the buses, plans, building of deport and annual operation cost etc. We want for the bus system to be improvised for the benefit of the people of Sarawak. We just encountered this one issue this morning just a breakdown of traffic light in Sg Maong. And we have terrible traffic jamm and it is still not fixed and we can see that all the residence of Kuching is too dependent on cars. Its not that we like cars, its not that we like to maintain the cars, like to purchase the cars but it is because we forced to… (Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat Padungan your time is up. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Yes, I will finish my final sentence. A good Government is not letting people to buy car but letting people enabling people to have a complete public transport system in Kuching and we also can work together to make Kuching a more livable city in Federal level through the Ministry of Transport and also in State level through Ministry of Transport in the State level and hydrogen bus we should not use. Hydrogen bus project for another ATM machine for the cronies and I have…(Interruption) Timbalan Speaker: Your time is up. Sorry Ahli Yang Berhormat for Padungan. YB Encik Wong King Wei: Thank you, Tuan Speaker for the time. And we urge the State Government to be more transparent in managing the fiscal and implementing the project. Thank you. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Sadong Jaya. YB Ir Aidel bin Lariwoo: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Pertama sekali saya ingin nak mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi tahniah kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri kita yang telah berjaya membentangkan Bajet Tahun 2019 yang merupakan suatu bajet yang sungguh luar biasa dan berani. Bajet 2019 kali ini teramat istimewa di atas empat sebab utama.

1. Bajet yang paling besar sekali seumpamannya dengan jumlah keseluruhan RM11.914 billion yang mengutamakan aspek pembangunan Negeri dengan peruntukan sejumlah RM9.073 billion diperuntukkan bagi tujuan pembangunan dan baki RM 2.841 billion untuk perbelanjaan mengurus;

2. Rekod hasil negeri yang tertinggi julung kalinya dengan anggaran kutipan

sejumlah RM10.513 billion yang disumbangkan terutamanya dengan pengenaan Cukai Jualan Negeri ke atas produk petroleum berkuatkuasa 1 Januari 2019. Peningkatan hasil yang amat besar hampir dua kali ganda anggaran hasil tahunan semasa amat besar ertinya kepada Negeri Sarawak kerana dengan hasil yang sebegini signifikan, lebih banyak lagi pembangunan dapat dilaksanakan bagi merancakkan lagi pembangunan terutamanya di luar bandar dan seterusnya dapat melonjakkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negeri;


69

3. Model kewangan baru melalui pembiayaan alternatif yang membolehkan sumber kewangan negeri diurus dengan lebih cekap demi memastikan kelestarian pembangunan dan dalam masa yang sama memastikan sumber kewangan yang terus kukuh dan kekal mampan bagi kegunaan Negeri Sarawak pada masa hadapan; dan

4. Pengurusan belanjawan yang cekap digambarkan melalui penyediaan

peruntukan yang besar terutamanya bagi tujuan pembangunan tetapi masih berupaya menghasilkan lebihan perbelanjaan atau pun surplus sejumlah RM122 juta.

Ini merupakan polisi fiskal yang mampu merangsang merancakkan pertumbuhan

ekonomi dan dalam masa yang sama menjana pendapatan lebihan untuk Negeri.

Bagi tahun 2019 sekali lagi kita menyaksikan belanjawan Negeri yang meneruskan strategi “Development-Biased and Rural Focused” dan ini membuktikan kesungguhan dan komitmen Kerajaan di bawah pimpinan YAB Ketua Menteri kita untuk meneruskan kesinambungan pembangunan Negeri terutama pembangunan luar bandar demi memastikan rakyat Sarawak terutama rakyat luar bandar turut merasai nikmat pembangunan sebenar sepertimana yang dinikmati oleh rakan-rakan kita di Semenanjung Malaysia.

Sales Tax on Petroleum Products

Tuan Speaker, the imposition of Sales sales tax is the State’s constitutional rights as enshrined in the Federal Constitution. As announced, with effect from 1st January 2019, the State sales tax will be levied on petroleum products at the rate of 5%. This is a new source of revenue that would generate a good income to the State whereby it is anticipated that sum of RM3.897 billion is to be collected next year. With this additional revenue, the State can step up its effort to implement more projects particularly in the rural areas that would bring more prosperity to the rural populace.

Since independence, we have been neglected of infrastructure development

particularly water, electricity and roads; and have not been able to enjoy the same quality of life as our counterpart in Semenanjung Malaysia.

Therefore, I fully support the State in exercising its constitutional right to impose sales

tax on petroleum products.

Transforming Rural Area

As a State Assemblyman from rural areas, I wish to record my sincere thanks and appreciations to YAB Ketua Menteri for allocating a substantial allocation of RM6,049 billion in the 2019 State Budget for rural development. The large allocation provided will intensify and hasten the economic activities and development in the rural areas. The implementation of more people centric projects in the rural areas such as roads and bridges, water and electricity supplies, agriculture development projects, upgrading of dilapidated schools will greatly improve the well-being of rural people as well as enabling them to enjoy similar economic as those in the urban areas. The provision of these vital infrastructure and services will benefit the rakyat particularly in the rural areas; generate economic opportunity for them to uplift their standard of living and thus contributing to the State’s efforts to becoming a high-income State by year 2030.

Coastal Roads Connectivity Program

Tuan Speaker, I am happy to note that the State Government has decided to fund the implementation of the coastal roads connectivity program as announced in the 2019 State Budget. The implementation of the coastal road connectivity program as well as the on-going Pan Borneo Highway project, will enable the villages in the rural areas be connected with the main cities throughout the State. The implementation of Muara Lassa Bridge in Mukah, Batang Rambungan Bridge in Lundu, Bintulu-Jepak Bridge crossing Kuala Kemena in Bintulu, Batang Lupar Bridge in Samarahan/Betong Division and Batang Saribas Bridge, Batang Krian Bridge, Batang Igan Bridge surely will open up Sarawak, change the fortunes of many, open up of idle land and allow efficient mobility of the people and goods. This eventually would spur the economic growth in the coastal areas.

Under the coastal road connectivity, so far, only Batang Sadong Bridge had been implemented and completed; and had been opened for use by the public in 2016. The completion of the Batang Sadong Bridge linking Sebuyau to Sadong Jaya has created more business opportunities, bigger trade and more development to this area which has benefitted thousands of the rural residents.

If in the hinterland, we have a Pan Borneo Highway, people in the coastal belt would also have the right to enjoy the same kind of facility with the implementation of coastal roads connectivity project.

For the further development project of coastal areas I fully agreed that the Coastal Development Authority (CDA) to be formed as mentioned by other Honourable Member from this Dewan.

Dilapidated Schools

The State Government views this issue of dilapidated schools seriously and has taken up steps to facilitate the development of schools despite the fact that education is under the purview and responsibility of Federal Government. In 2019 Budget, the State continue to provide allocation of which a sum of RM81.7 million is set aside for this purpose. This amount is hardly enough to upgrade and rebuild the dilapidated schools. YAB Ketua Menteri has also offered RM1 billion loan to the Federal Government to speedily tackle this issue but unfortunately the Federal Government keeps silence with this offer. Schools in rural areas deserved to have better schools facilities just like one in the urban areas. If schools in the city constructed at RM20 million or RM30 million, why can’t the schools in luar bandar be treated the same.

I would urge the Federal Government to be more aggressive in funding the dilapidated schools in the State as our children has long been suffering from the poor conditions and inadequate facilities at these schools that has impact them adversely, depriving them of a conducive learning environment and quality education.

In this connection, for my constituency, I would request the Government to upgrade and rebuild the dilapidated school at SK Jemukan, SK Jaie and SK Pendam to provide better learning facilities and conducive learning environment to our student in these rural schools so as to create a conducive learning environment for them to excel in their education.

Rural Water Supply

On behalf of the people of the rural areas especially the people of Samarahan, I would like to record my sincere thanks to YAB Ketua Menteri for the announcement on the implementation of Water Supply from Kuching to Kota Samarahan to Sebuyau, Samarahan


71

to the whole Asajaya, Sadong Jaya peninsular. This project is crucial to amalgamate small water supply systems into larger scheme and in providing a reliable source of water supplies, adequate treated water and good water pressure to meet the growing needs of the population in Samarahan Division. My humble request is for the project to be implemented expeditiously so that the people of the rural areas can reap the benefit of this project immediately and thus, will improve their well-being tremendously.

Federal Funding

Tuan Speaker, the 2019 National Budget could have allocated more funding for

Sarawak as we are among the States with the largest contributions to Malaysia’s growth. Unfortunately, Sarawak will only be allocated a sum RM4.346 billion or 7.4 % out of RM54.7 billion in the 2019 National Budget for the development of the State. With this level of budget allocated to the State, we will never catch up with development in Semenanjung Malaysia and will remain as least the developed State throughout Malaysia. Despite the fact that we contribute so much to the national wealth through massive exploitation of our oil and gas, we are not getting fair share of the fruits of development. With only RM4.346 billion for next year, can the Federal Government achieve the objectives to intensify economic growth and development planning, improving infrastructure for better connectivity, expanding access to basic infrastructure, amenities and services as well as increasing employment opportunities in the State as promised under the Federal 11th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review?

Therefore, I would call upon the Federal Government to assess this situation

objectively and realistically and provide more equitable development allocation to the State. We are not begging from the Federal Government but we are asking for what the Federal owes us.

Just now we heard Ahli Yang Berhormat for Muara Tuang saying this and I agreed

with Ahli Yang Berhormat for YB Muara Tuang in his point, when he said that that Sarawak oil and gas is sucked day and night to keep the nation afloat for the last more than 40 years. We contributed nearly two third of the national reserve yet we only received just a small amount from the recent Federal budget. So it is quite disappointing for us to be treated like this by the Federal Government because after giving so much to the Sarawakian national reserve, without Sarawak being the biggest contributor to Federal revenue, West Malaysia or Malaya wouldn't be as what they are now.

Tuan Speaker, on Bintulu Port. Ahli Yang Berhormat for Pelagus yesterday had said

about the prospect of Bintulu Port to be taken over by the State Government. Tuan Speaker, Bintulu Port is the richest port in Malaysia but being a Federal port

State Government has no control or power against this port. So, I would urge the State Government to take over Bintulu Port to become State Port as a catalyst for oil and gas industries in Sarawak.

So with that note Tuan Speaker, saya dengan ini mohon menyokong pembentangan

Bajet Tahun (2019), 2018. Sekian, terima kasih. Timbalan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat for Telang Usan. YB Encik Dennis Ngau: Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker, let me start by stating my greatest and utmost support to the proposed Supply Bill (2019), 2018 as presented by the Right Honorable Chief Minister, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Sarawak YAB Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg.


72

We have heard various reaction from members of this august house and public alike and some of it I quote “Steady Abang Jo, Go Go Abang Jo, Super budget, Blockbuster budget, Historical budget, Can’t believe it, beyond my thinking, besarnya, terkejut kamek koh, tok barua CM dan Kerajaan etc etc” In short and indeed it was a State Budget every living Sarawakians especially we from the rural and very rural areas has been praying for because we know, despite the State Government’s focus on rural development but without the means and money, the pace of implementing the big one such as road connectivity is slow. It is every single person’s dream of having the best facilities possible around us and who else could make their dreams come true if none other than the State Government they voted in.

But how did this come about? I am sure it doesn't appear in the middle of nowhere or

drop from the sky just like that but I believe it was as result of brilliant, smart thinking, hard works, never die attitude of a special person among us who make it a reality and that person is none other than the Right Honorable Chief Minister, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Sarawak, YAB Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg.

While the rest of us especially those supporting the Opposition goes through their

daily life including enjoy the best of what the State has offered, this one man work tirelessly day-in-day out either seen or behind the scene for our State and her people.

Tuan Speaker, to me and my people of Telang Usan, our State of Sarawak is blessed immensely with strings of God-fearing and great leaders and placed them in leading roles with purposes especially since we took over the Government of Sarawak. These great and courages leaders created political stability enabling the Government we voted in to have a peace of mind that enables them to all along plan, execute and monitor all development agendas making our State grew from strength to strength. Despite continuous efforts by the Opposition to run down and paint bad pictures on the previous Barisan Nasional Government, in reality it was that BN Government who work hard, laid down all the ground works and become the foundation of a stronger and developed Sarawak we have today.

Of course lots more hard work needs to be done to make a better Sarawak but let us touch our heart and close our eyes for a moment and be thankful to God for He has provided us. Therefore, lets choose to work together to make a perfect Sarawak we all dream of. Today, the Right Honourable Chief Minister and Member for Satok continues with the leading roles, a man richly blessed with wisdom by God which enable him to have the strength, ability to smell opportunities, see what other did not see, a talent an effective leaders posses that enable him to come out with the best for our beloved State of Sarawak. Therefore, all Sarawakians ought to give our The Right Honourable Chief Minister our strongest possible support to enable him to continue with the efforts to develop our State of Sarawak. And he is also a very inclusive leader too.

I say this as I am equally amazed by The Right Honourable Chief Minister ability to come up with such a huge never-been-done before State Budget especially the State 2019 Budget. It has to be a special person to have that talent and courage’s to do something out of the ordinary.

Of course, all the previous State leaders have been blessed with special ability and that enable them to lead the State and plan and roll our development agendas that the people enjoy and experience today. To believers in God there is no such thing as, nasib because all things happened as it happens, bad or good by the Grace of God. Let us all Sarawakians count our blessings and


73

be thankful to God for what we have received and pray for God’s hands in all what we plan for our beloved State of Sarawak in coming years and beyond.

Sarawak State Budget 2019 Tuan Speaker, it is heartening to note that, 2019 State budget will continue to be a development biased and rural focused budget with an amount of RM9.073 billion allocated for development where as RM6,049 billion is specifically allocated for rural. The State’s rural development focus momentum build since many years ago is now further hastened with bigger fund at the State disposal and ready to undertake various rakyat centric projects. We have been talking and putting priority on rural development, I believe since we gain independence via Malaysia but all efforts will not materialise without sufficient funds available to carry on with our mission as fast as we want it to be. On behalf of my constituency of Telang Usan, Mulu and Marudi under the Parliament P.220 Baram we are delighted with the State’s 2019 budget which continues to give emphasis on rural and very rural of the State needs. At this juncture I would like to thanks and welcome our National budget 2019 as announced by the Finance Minister recently of where a sum was allocated to the State of Sarawak. A very rural constituency like ours Telang Usan where we need more and extra fund to do ‘catch-up’ effort to meet the need for basic facilities as fast as possible. I welcome the Federal Budget allocation and I propose that Baram to be given priority by Federal Ministries so as to compliments efforts undertaken by the State Government to developed the three State constituencies their in.

Matters Affecting N.77 Telang Usan Highland Development Agency

Tuan Speaker, we in the Highland Development Agency (HDA) are one of the direct beneficiaries of the State huge development allocation for 2019. The setting up of HDA, a brain child of non other than our Right Honourable Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg was the ‘game changer’ especially for the constituency of Telang Usan and N.78 Mulu. Under the sterling leadership of the Honourable Datuk Amar Douglas Uggas Embas, Deputy Chief Minister who is also Member for Bukit Saban, the two constituencies which we consider as the the last frontier of Sarawak will be experiencing exciting time especially in the coming 2019 – 2020. In fact HDA set up in July 2017 is not just another committee but through its initiatives, the rakyat in Telang Usan especially have started to participate in two programs namely Kelulut raring and durian fruits trees rehabilitation programme consider as ‘low hanging fruits’ meaning fast and immediate. With the initial allocation of sum RM729,000,000.00 for N.77 Telang Usan the infrastructures and amenities projects Telang Usan will be receiving its 25 Road Projects to R1 JKR Standard and eight Water Treatment Plant Projects. Therefore, I urged all from the two constituencies under HDA namely N.77 Telang Usan and N.78 Mulu to be ready and work to facilitate the implementation of various infrastructures and amenities projects scheduled to take off starting from 2019. While the majority urged State Government to implement development project for the rakyats, we have had situation before where projects was halted for reasons known only to the protesters. Therefore, I hope everyone connected with the two constituencies especially to ensure these basic needs projects will be implemented timely.


74

Unit for Other Religion (UNIFOR) Upholding religion as key need in life contributing to the harmonious living in a State or Country. We applaud and warmly welcome the move and effort taken by our State Government to form UNIFOR, which we know the only State in Malaysia to do so. In a State or country like ours where multi ethnic lives and freedom of religions is practice, all religions must be nurture and guarded as these worship houses play key roles in the development of our State of Sarawak and the nation. Since in operations this special Government arm set up specially to look after the needs of other religions in our State have played its role to expectations and brought much needed relief to these worship houses in the State.

The fund channelled to churches, temple, other places of worships in the state have been of great help in many ways.

Therefore, anticipating the needs and demands from these various worship houses to come, and for UNIFOR as an important State Government agency to where these other Non Islamic religions will bring their needs and seek Government assistance, I am proposing that the State Government to alleviate the status of UNIFOR to a full fledge State Government Department and Set up branch offices at strategic City and towns all over the state. If it could have done by the State Government, it will prove our seriousness in promoting freedom of religion in our state. Let show Malaysia we are always special and walk-the-talk, unlike the other around us. Tuan Speaker.

RM1,000.00 For Every Newborn Sarawakians

This is brilliant move by our Right Honourable Chief Minister as he clearly see the need of Sarawakians in the foreseeable future especially in education which will be a great burden to parents. In fact even today, the need for money when ones would enter the next phase of his or her study is already heavy. We Wakil Rakyat from the State ruling party especially from the very Rural Constituencies felt that every time College or University intake started. We try to assist with whatever we have to encourage our rakyat to continue with their education. We anticipate that as cost of living increase even though PH promise otherwise. The demands for financial assistance will also grow or increases.

I fully support this initiative. Having said that may I suggest the State Government to consider an opening as option to those who might dearly need assistance, whatever amount deem suitable for the student needs who is to enter his or her Secondary school at 13 years old.

To some, going to Secondary is not a burden but to our very rural folks especially those with more than one schooling kids it is a seriously heavy burden. I know that from experience as a rural constituency Wakil Rakyat. Please consider.

On the same subject, as this program is for all Sarawkians regardless their economic standings, please also consider to encourage parents who could afford it to deposited a matching amount into their children account as way for their children to have more disposable fund when they reach the age of 18 years. As this Government guaranteed investment, I am sure many parents want to take part for the sole benefits of their children. I for one will do it for my children.

A member forms the opposite bench in his debate, asked will this initiative or programme also become a Hot Air in 18 years? Seriously, I don’t know which project is Hot


75

Air by our State Government. All Sarawakians know is, it was Opposition that have many Hot Air promises.

Well to the opposition and our people outside there, as long as the current Government loosely called GPS runs the State, we assure and guarantee you this programme will be 100% intact. So please continue to give our fullest support toward Yang Amat Berhormat Chief Minister and the parties that runs the state now, to ensure continuity in our Government.

I am worry, if there is change in the State Government it will definitely jeopardise this much needed future endeavours. We have seen this happening after PH took over the Government at Federal level.

San Sub-District

I brought up this request in the august House sittings several time before and I am putting it in again. I see the need to have a Sub-District set up here at Long San, Ulu Baram and to be manned by Sarawak Administrative Officer (SAO). For the information of this august House, Kampung Long San is the home of the late Temenggung Datuk Lawai Jau, The Orang Ulu Paramount Chief who was part and played a crucial role in MA63 negotiation and Long San used to be an active trading centre for the community is the areas. The Chinese community set up shops for trading here and until today still own some lands.

The village is already equipped with a STOL airport, a full fledge Secondary and Primary School, Agriculture station, Roman Catholic and BEM Church, A historical Kubu, to name a few. Having a Government administrative office here will be greatly of help and assist our under priviledged rakyat from many rural longhouses and settlement round this area. There is about 30 longhouses or settlements that will benefits from the Government set up here.

On the same note, I would like to know what is the State Government’s plan and efforts to develop Long Bedian Sub District Office and its components. The people from the Apoh and Layun region was delighted when this sub district was created more than three years ago but unfortunately nothing much was taken placed except a handful of personnel station at the sub district office currently renting a Kampung building. The rakyat has high regards and hope to placement of State Government office in their areas. Therefore, I urged the relevant authority to act fast.

For the information of all, I have set up a Sub District Committee comprises of all the 19 Kayans, Kenyahs and Penans Villages chiefs and Penghulus, headed by the SAO to be ready to assist in all matters pertaining to things related to the sub district affairs… (interruption…) Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat, your time is up. YB Encik Dennis Ngau: Can I just finish one. Not many people to go. Sorry, I want to touch this one it is so important.

Ketua Kampung atau Ketua Masyarakat Di Kalangan Orang Ulu

I am a little surprise Ba‘ Kelalan brought this suggestion whom I believe live his life through as Orang Ulu kampung boy and understand the Orang Ulu adet Ba’ Kelalan is from the Lun Bawang community and part of Orang Ulu group. The practice all along since time immemorial is to discuss among the village folks when the need for a chief arises. But of


76

course it is not plain sailing at most times. This is because there will differences and preferences and this make discussion difficult at times.

Despite of that, the villagers will normally agree to the majority choice especially with the advice from the village elders. But of late, I am sad to say that not only due to difference in preference, the emergence of politic have create a challenges and situation in the village when their is the need arises for village folks to discuss on the subject. At times now, the advice from the Village elders and the majority voices is just ignored by the opposite political party.

Ba’ Kelalan suggest that the appointment of Ketua Kaum should not be politicise and

that I fully support 100 percent. But I recalled some weeks ago I read in the newspaper how PH people representative clearly this is in Semenanjung mentioned how they put in their own calon as Ketua Kampung whereas in Sarawak we do not do that. YB Encik Dennis Ngau: I am sure that Ketua Masyarakat who is the custodian of our adat would not be happy with the proposal. To hold a pemilihan for a Ketua Kampung will open up many possibilities is both good and bad, but I said is worse than good. Furthermore, the Orang Ulu community leaders especially hold dearly to the adat practice. To propose names of Ketua Kampung for a Village Chief for the State Government to consider it is best on discussions and consensus and not by open election suggested. The “Buku Adat” published by the Majlis Adat Istiadat Sarawak for each of the various ethnics within the Orang Ulu community it is a reference in the process Perlantikan Ketua Kaum dan Ketua Masyarakat. Just two last paragraph Tuan Speaker. We know that among the village folk who will not agree with certain decision due to reason only known to them but let us respect our elders in the community. Our local Pejabat Residen and Pejabat Daerah Office and the Majlis Ketua Masyarakat had enough problem and hassle handling and going through the process. Therefore, I urge all the political leaders among us Orang Ulu specially to advise our people to stick to the adat and especially respect our Ketua Masyarakat, Orang Tua, Council of Elders at the village level. This has been the practice and enable our people in the village to live in harmony ever since. Dengan itu saya sekali lagi menyokong. Terima kasih Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker: Any other Honorable Member who wish to speak? Honorable Member for Batu Lintang. YB Encik See Chee How: Thank you, Tuan Speaker. Tuan Speaker, while I wecome the 2019 Budget proposal of which the Right Honorable Chief Minister dubbed as an extra ordinary budget with a record revenue, I am more pleased and ecstatic with the disclosure of the State’s actual achievement in revenue collection that we are able to attend and surpassed. Surpassed the original estimate of RM5.525 billion by October and the estimated revenue for this year to revised RM6.966 billion which is RM1.441 or 26.1% higher than the original estimate.

As was pointed out by the Right Honourable Chief Minister, the expected higher revenue is mainly attributed to the increase in dividend of RM1.339 billion or 177% hike from RM755 million to RM2.094 billion. In my debate on the Budget 2018 last November, I have observed and commended that the brightest spark in terms of performance in revenue generating for 2017 was the State’s earnings from investments and in particular, dividends, which saw an increase actual revenue earning of RM1.5 billion, which doubled the estimated dividend earning of RM755 million projected in our Budget 2017.


77

The achievement this year is even more awesome, the actual dividend earning almost triple the amount projected. However, the returns on investments also include the revenue and interest from bank balances and the money markets, totalling RM981.5 million. These, and earning from interests from loans, added up to a hand some RM3.1 billion revenues from the good management of our State’s reserve, the sum constituted 44.5% of the total State revenue for the year 2018.

I must therefore, again, congratulate the Right Honourable Chief Minister, the Honourable Second Finance Minister, the Honourable State Financial Secretary and their officers and staffs for their hard work which have bear this remarkable fruit. I pray that the State will continue with our prudent and sound financial management of our State’s reserve and financial resources. This is the crucial hallmark and leverage for Sarawak and it certainly augurs well in our quest for our demand for greater autonomy and devolution of powers that Sarawak is more than capable of managing and administration the fiscal powers that will be devolved to Sarawak.

This impressive returns from the interests and dividends of our investments is pivoted on the equally notable sum of State’s reserve that we have saved over the years, which I must caution the State Government to zealously guard and protect it, to continue and advance the present prudent and sound financial management to ensure that it will continue to earn the interests and dividends which is much needed for the continuous development of Sarawak.

We must not fall into the fallacy or misconception that the State could have earned more by cannibalizing our State’s reserve through financing our State projects. I must therefore, advocate against cannibalizing our State reserves by depositing substantial and considerable sums into DBoS and using the same to finance such social development projects which will not yield revenue and monetary interests. In theory, yes, DBoS can pay the State’s interest with comparable rates, and similarly for the loans for State’s project. They are still State’s reserve on papers, too.

However, unlike our savings in the commercial banks, DBoS will not be able to immediately return us our deposits with them as and when we need to recall them if their credit facilities comprise largely of social development projects. Taking example from what we have as at present: the deposits in DBoS comprises of RM3.4 billion from the State’s reserve, only RM48.3 million from the GLCs, local authorities and statutory bodies, that is 98.6% deposits from the State reserves and 0.14% from other sources. When credit facilities are granted for social development projects such as road building and provision of utilities which yields little or no revenues, it is needless to say that DBoS will not be able to oblige the State when the State needs to recall the deposits.

DBoS can continue to pay us may be the 4% interests for deposits, every year, the principal sum in State’s reserve are good on papers, but are in actual fact, as good as gone. The State is at risk of being accused of operating a Ponzi scheme, against the interests of the State and all her people. With the RM4 billion of estimated annual revenue from the imposition of direct Sales Tax on petroleum products to be added to our State revenue, we have enough to finance our development projects that are needed, especially those in the rural parts of Sarawak. I am certainly not convinced that we should resort to cannibalizing our State reserves to finance our State project.

I am certainly worried about the State reserves being depleted, as we are heavily dependent on the earnings through the prudent financial management of our State’s reserves as at present, the 44.5% of our total State revenue for the year 2018. Needless to say, more of our State reserves will go to DBoS, particularly if there is no quick solution and agreement for the State to realize the State Sales Tax on petroleum products. Budget 2019


78

has already enumerated all the development projects that we intend to implement for the year, making assumption that we will receive the State Sales Tax on petroleum products which will enhance our revenue earnings with an additional sum of RM3.897 billion.

As much as I pray that we are not counting the chickens before they hatch, I am equally concerned that we may have to resort to depleting our State reserve to finance those development projects planned. I certainly hope that the Right Honourable Chief Minister will enlighten us further on the mechanics of the imposition of the new State; Sales Tax on petroleum products. I must declare that myself, and all my colleagues on this side of the bench, are fully supportive of a development budget that is rural development biased, that we must all put our concerted efforts to ensure that all of our brothers and sisters and their families in the rural parts of Sarawak are enjoying the infrastructural facilities and basic amenities that we are enjoying in the cities and towns.

However, I do have one earnest request that I must make in this august House, for the benefits of the city and town dwellers. My request is for the State Government to look into the construction of shallow under-passes in the main and large cities and towns in Sarawak to solve the traffic congestion problems. Shallow underpasses require shorter time to complete and the costs are much lower, projected to be 30% to 40% of the costs of constructing a flyover. In Kuching, if we can construct 20 underpasses at the busy traffic junctions and interchanges, the increasing unbearable traffic congestion would be resolved. All these underpasses, from a proposal that I have sighted, will cost less than RM400 million. That, is of course, just a very small fraction of the RM9 billion development expenditure budgeted for next year, and the construction of these 20 underpasses can be spread over the next five years. Thank you.

With the RM4 billion of estimated Annual Review from the composition of direct sales

tax from petronas product to our state’s revenue, we have enough to finance our development project that are needed especially those in the rural parts of Sarawak. I am certainly not convinced that we should resolve to canabalising our state reserve to finance our state projects. I am certainly worrying about the states reserve being diputed as we are heavily dependent on the earning to the prudents financial management of state reserve as at present. With the 44.5% of our total State’s revenue for the year 2018. Needless to say more of our State’s reserve have go to the??? Particulary if there is no quick solution or agreement for the state to realise the State Sales Tax from petroleum products.

Budget 2019 had already enumerated all the development projects have been tend to implement for the year. Making assumption that will receive the states sales tax of prudent products which will enhance our regular earnings with an additional sum of RM3.897 billion. Much as I pray that we are not helping the chicken to got a hatch, we equally concerned that we may have to resove to finance our state reserve to finance those development project plan. I certainly hope that The Right Honouorable Chief Minister to enable to enlighten us whether on the mechanics on the imposition of new states sales tax product from petroleum products.

I must declare that myself and all my colleagues on this side of the bench that are fully supportive of the government budget that is the rural development buyers we must all put our concerns on certain efforts to ensure that our brothers and sisters and their families in the rural part of Sarawak are enjoying their infrastructure facilities and basic ammenities is that we are enjoying for the city and powers. However I do have one honest request that I must in this August house for the benefit of the city. My request if for the State Government to look into the consturction of shelow underpast in the main in the large cities and towns in Sarawak to solve the traffic congestion problem. Shallow underpass shall take quite sometimes to complete at the cost of much lower projected to do 30% to 40% the cost of the. In Kuching, if we can construct 20 underpases at the busy under junctions that we could


79

change it the increasingly unbearable traffic congestion would be resolve. All these underpasses from the poster that I have sighted will cost less that RM400 million. That’s the cost. Just a very small portion of RM5 billion Government expenditure this year.

At the construction of these 20 underpasses can be spread over the next five years. Thank you, Tuan speaker. Tuan Speaker: Member for Demak Laut YB Dr Hazland bin Abang Hipni, Demak Laut: Asssalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera. Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kerana diberi kesempatan ini untuk turut diberi peluang untuk membahas Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan (2019), 2018 dan Usul Untuk Merujuk Resolusi Anggaran Perbelanjaan Pembangunan, 2018 yang telah dibentang oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Ketua Menteri merangkap Menteri Kewangan Sarawak di Dewan yang mulai ini pada 5hb November 2016 yang lalu.

Terlebih dahulu saya bagi pihak rakyat di DUN N5 Demak Laut ingin mengucapkan syabas dan tahniah kepada YAB Datuk Patinggi ketua Menteri Sarawak merangkap Menteri Kewangan Sarawak kerana telah beerjaya untuk membentangkan satu bajet terbaik, yang seimbang, progresif dan komprehensif walaupun dalam suasana cabaran hebat ekonomi dunia yagn tidak menentu, penurunan nilai ringgit, penurunan harga komoditi, peningkatan kos sara hidup dan peningkatan kos perniagaan.

Ini menunjukkan pengurusan kewangan yang cekap dan cemerlang oleh pihak Kerjaan Sarawak dengan memfokuskan penstrukturan dan transformasi ekonomi Negeri untuk menuju status Membangun pada 2030 dan seterusnya mengurangkan jurang perbezaan pembangunan kawasan luar bandar dan bandar.

Tuan Speaker, Bajet 2019 ini sekali lagi menunjukkan keikhlasan Kerajaan Sarawak dalam perancangannya untuk memajukan rakyat Sarawak bukan sahaja dalam jangkamasa pendek tetapi juga dalam perancangan jangka masa panjang yang berterusan untuk memastikan mutu kehidupan rakyat yang lebih baik untuk generasi masa depan.

Ini adalah Bajet terbaik yang menghargai kesetiaan, kerajinan, keikhlasan, kematangan dan pengorbanan rakyat Sarawak selama ini.

Bajet terbaik ini adalah bajet “Demi Rakyat Sarawak”. Ia adalah bajet yang dirancang untuk memastikan halatuju Sarawak ke arah Negeri berpendapatan tinggi dan ke arah pembangunan ekonomi yang lebih seimbang, yang akan dicapai melalui enam strategi iaitu bajet yang fokus kepada pembangunan dan luar bandar, agenda pembangunan Negeri, ekonomi digital, meningkatkan pelaburan, memperkasa sektor swasta dan keberkesanan sistem pelaksanaan.

Membangunkan ekonomi yang kukuh adalah amat penting untuk memastikan kita dapat membangunkan Pan Borneo Highway dan Jalan Pesisir, Rumah Mampu Milik, Zon Perindustrian, Hospital, Sekolah dan lain-lain.

The Sarawak Economy is fundamentally stronger than it was one year ago.

We are growing faster, our businesses have created thousands of jobs, living standards are rising strongly, our long term economy plan is working.

We now have a Budget that fits the economic forecasts, instead of economic forecasts that were fixed to fit the Budget.


80

As Sarawak enters a challenging phase of its development and economic

restructuring and transformation in shaping to become a high-income economy, it is important to have a budget that is biased towards development with a healthy allocation of about 76% for development purposes.

Tuan Speaker, the allocation of funds is equitably distributed all over the State, be it urban, sub-urban or rural. As a developing State, which is gearing towards a high income State by 2020 and a developed State by 2030, it is important that we have a budget which is biased towards development.

The Government will ensure that the rakyat enjoys excellent services and derive

maximum benefits from the implementation of development projects and programmes through the Government Transformation Programme and Economic Transformation Programme as the guiding force.

Tuan Speaker, sektor perkhidmatan di Demak Laut merupakan penyumbang utama

kepada ekonomi rakyat tempatan melalui industri pertanian, perikanan, industri makanan, pemborongan dan runcitan, pengangkutan, kemudahan, komunikasi, pelancongan dan pengilangan.

Semua ini adalah hasil daripada segala program dan inisiatif oleh kedua-dua pihak

Kerajaan dan sektor swasta.

Cadangan peruntukan sebanyak RM9.073 billion untuk Perbelanjaan Pembangunan 2019 adalah sangat-sangat dialukan.

Connectivity

Pertama sekali adalah berkenaan dengan Connectivity. Adalah menjadi harapan rakyat di Demak Laut untuk meningkatkan connectivity di kawasan kami kerana masih memerlukan banyak lagi jalan raya contohnya di Kampung Bako, Kampung Beradik Semiliang, Tiang Api dan di Kampung Pinggan Jaya Muhibbah Pending.

Begitu juga dengan projek jambatan di Tanjung Bako, Beradek Semilang dan Tiang

Api yang sudah begitu lama ditunggu-tunggu oleh para penduduk, sekurang-kurangnya sistem feri dibina dahulu dengan kadar yang secepat mungkin untuk meningkatkan kualiti kehidupan rakyat.

Bagi pihak rakyat di kawasan Tanjung Embang yang meliputi Kampung Tiang Api,

Beradik, Semilang, Sungai Pinang, kami memohon agar YAB Ketua Menteri dengan segera meluluskan projek feri ini kerana ini akan meningkatkan potensi kawasan sebesar 10 ribu ekar ini.

Pemerkasaan Pembangunan Sektor Pertanian

Adalah diharapkan peningkatan peruntukan sebanyak RM315 juga untuk

pemerkasaan pembangunan sektor pertanian akan juga dapat dirasai oleh beribu-ribu para petani Demak Laut yang mengusahakan beribu-ribu hektar kebun terutama sekali di kawasan Beradek, Semilang Tiang Api, Bako, Tanjung Bako dan Sungai Nepong.

Pembangunan Luar Bandar

Adalah diharapkan peruntukan sebanyak RM6.049 bilion untuk Pembangunan Luar

Bandar akan juga dapat dirasai oleh penduduk Demak Laut terutama sekali di Beradek,


81

Semilang, Tiang Api, Bako, Tanjung Bako, Pinggan Jaya dan Muhibbah Pending yang masih memerlukan banyak pembangunan infrastruktur asas.

Pembangunan Kawasan Industri

Terima kasih diucapkan atas cadangan peruntukan RM85.3 juta untuk Pembangunan

Kawasan Industri. Terima kasih, YAB Ketua Menteri kerana Demak Laut sebagai kawasan Transformasi Perindustrian telahpun disenaraikan sebagai salah sebuah kawasan industri yang akan mendapat sebahagian daripada peruntukan ini.

Perumahan Mampu Milik

Adalah diharapkan peruntukan tambahan RM144 juta daripada Kerajaan Negeri

untuk membina Rumah Mampu Milik akan dapat dirasai oleh keluarga-keluarga Demak Laut berpendapatan rendah yang masih belum memiliki rumah melalui cadangan unit Rumah Mampu Milik dan Rumah Mesra Permata. Terima kasih YAB Ketua Menteri kerana telah meluluskan projek ini di Kampung Tabuan Melayu, Tabuan Foochow dan juga di Kampung Sejingkat.

Terima kasih juga diucapkan kepada YAB Ketua Menteri atas peruntukkan sebanyak

RM270 billion untuk Pembangunan Semula Kampung Tradisi yang juga melibatkan Kampung Tabuan Melayu, Tabuan Foochow dan Kampung Sejingkat.

Pembangunan Modah Insan

Adalah diharapkan peruntukan sebanyak RM112 juta untuk Pembangunan Modal

Insan akan juga dapat dirasai oleh rakyat di Demak Laut. Sesungguhnya pembangunan Centres of Technical Excellence (CENTEX) adalah begitu sesuai sekali dibina di kawasan Perindustrian Demak Laut memandangkan ianya sudah dilengkapi dengan begitu banyak sekali kilang-kilang perindustrian yang boleh menjadi tempat latihan semula jadi.

Pembangunan Pendidikan dan Modal Insan

Demak Laut memohon pihak Kerajaan memberi fokus terhadap pembangunan pendidikan melalui program-program intervensi untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan guru, menambah guru-guru pakar untuk mata pelajaran English, Sains dan Matematik.

Minat para pelajar terhadap Science, Technical, Engineering dan Mathematics

(STEM) dan juga Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) harus ditingkatkan untuk pasaran pekerjaan yang lebih kompetitif. Dalam memastikan Modal Insan berkualiti dapat direalisasikan, makmal STEM perlu diperluaskan ke setiap sekolah rendah dengan dibiayai sepenuhnya oleh Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak, secara berperingkat atau bekerjasama dengan pihak Universiti dan Swasta. Ini bukan sahaja dapat memberikan suasana pembelajaran yang dinamik dan berkualiti, tetapi juga memupuk minat lebih ramai pelajar mempelajari dan seterusnya berkecimpung dalam bidang Sains dan Teknologi sejajar dengan pendekatan Ekonomi Digital.

Pembangunan Sukan

Demak Laut juga terkenal dengan penghasilan pemain-pemain bola sepak peringkat

negeri dan negara dari Kampung Bako, Muara Tebas, Gobeilt, Senari dan Tabuan Melayu. Oleh itu diharapkan Kementerian berkenaan dapat memberi focus untuk meningkatkan lagi


82

kemudahan-kemudahan sukan seperti padang bola, padang futsal, mini stadium, kolam renang, sekolah sukan, Akademi Sukan dan kursus-kursus jurulatih bertaraf antarabangsa.

Gejala Sosial Dengan adanya pembangunan dan pemodenan cara kehidupan, gejala social juga meningkat. Demak Laut juga tidak terlepas daripada gejala ini terutama sekali dalam gejala penyalahgunaan dadah. Peningkatan dalam gejala ini begitu ketara sekali dalam tahun ini dan diharapkan pihak-pihak yang berkenaan akan meningkatkan usaha untuk membanteras gejala penyalahgunaan dadah selain daripada usaha oleh ibubapa, para guru, pemimpin masyarakat, serta usaha sama penduduk kampung untuk membanteras gejala penyalahgunaan dadah secara habis habisan.

Kebajikan Demak Laut masih lagi mempunyai seramai 200 lebih orang miskin tegar, 3,000 lebih golongan B40, 10,000 lebih warga emas, 1,000 lebih ibu tunggal, 500 anak yatim, 300 OKU yang masih memerlukan bantuan kebajikan untuk kehidupan seharian. Adalah diharapkan penambahan peruntukan disalurkan kepada golongan-golongan ini memandangkan kos kehidupan yang semakin tinggi. Dalam memastikan masyarakat yang kurang berkemampuan dapat menjalani kehidupan seperti masyarakat lain, suatu pendekatan baharu dalam membantu kebajikan wajar difikirkan. Mereka yang kurang berkemampuan dan mempunyai tenaga dan keringat untuk bekerja dan mengambil upah wajar disediakan pekerjaan yang bersesuaian agar mereka ini tidak hanya bergantung kepada bantuan kebajikan semata-mata. Penyediaan pekerjaan ini bergantung kepada penyediaan oleh syarikat swasta atau pun jabatan kerajaan yang memerlukan tenaga kurang mahir bagi membantu merancakkan ekonomi. Dengan ini, mereka bukan sahaja boleh berdikari, tetapi juga mempu menyumbang tenaga dan kemahiran mereka dalam ekonomi negeri dan mempunyai pendapatan untuk menyara kehidupan harian mereka.

Menubuhkan Syarikat Pembekalan Telekomunikasi Tempatan Untuk menuju ke arah ekonomi digital, Sarawak memerlukan pembekal telekomunikasi tempatan sendiri dalam memberikan dan menyediakan perkhidmatan yang lebih baik dan murah. Ketika ini, walaupun wujudnya persaingan di kalangan pembekal telekomunikasi ini, tetapi ianya tidak menyeluruh khasnya di kawasan luar bandar dan pedalaman. Misalnya, walaupun ada dibina menara telekomunikasi di kawasan luar bandar dan pedalaman, tetapi tiada satu pun pembekal di atas yang mahu menyediakan kemudahan telekomunikasi ini. Untuk itu, sudah tiba masanya syarikat tempatan seperti Danawa dan juga SACOFA menyediakan kemudahan telekomunikasi di kawasan luar bandar dan pedalaman bagi kemudahan rakyat Sarawak.

Saraan Hidup Nelayan

Demak Laut mempunyai lebih kurang tiga ribu nelayan yang berdaftar. Keputusan Kerajaan Persekutuan yang difahamkan menghentikan Skim Saraan Nelayan dalam Belanjawan 2019 disifatkan sebagai ‘keterlaluan’ dan tidak munasabah.


83

Para nelayan bertungkus lumus dalam menyediakan sumber makanan kepada rakyat tempatan dalam memastikan sumber makanan itu tidak putus. Menjelang musim tengkujuh dan keadaan laut yang tidak mengizinkan mereka ke laut untuk mencari nafkah, menyebabkan sumber pendapatan mereka terhad dan merosot. Justeru, dicadangkan Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak membantu para nelayan dengan membiayai skim saraan nelayan dengan mekanisma yang baharu sekaligus membantu nelayan agar sumber pendapatan mereka tidak putus.

Skim Bantuan Kesihatan/ e-Sihat Adalah dicadangkan supaya diwujudkan pemeriksaan kesihatan umum pada kali pertama untuk rakyat secara percuma dan juga rawatan pesakit luar dan di hospital. Skim bantuan ini diberikan mengikut umur memandangkan tahap kesihatan rakyat ketika ini dalam kadar yang membimbangkan sejak dari awal tumbesaran lagi. Skim bantuan ini dicadangkan diperluaskan kepada kanak-kanak yang mempunyai penyakit berisiko tinggi sejak mula dilahirkan yang memerlukan rawatan lebih intensif. Skim bantuan kesihatan ini juga boleh diperluaskan kepada golongan B40.

Coastal Development Agency Cadangan untuk menubuhkan Coastal Development Agency sejajar dengan perancangan untuk mempercepatkan lagi pembangunan infrastruktur secara terancang dan tersusun, sama seperti Upper Rejang Development Agency, Highland Development Agency dan Northern Region Development Agency. Demak Laut yang juga merupakan sebahagian daripada kawasan pesisir menyokong penuh cadangan ini.

Peruntukkan Kerajaan Pusat Daripada semua isu-isu di atas, jelas sekali kita memerlukan lebih banyak peruntukan daripada Kerajaan Pusat untuk mencapai segala pembangunan yang kita impikan. Bajet Nasional untuk Sarawak adalah tidak mencukupi. Oleh yang demikian, kita merayu agar pihak Kerajaan Persekutuan akan memberi pertimbangan khusus agar kita dapat mengurangkan jurang pembangunan Sarawak dengan Semenanjung.

Tuan Speaker, the Sarawak Government is in an action oriented Government that makes a lot of future planning. The Sarawak Government politics of development is for a better life for the people and it fights for multi-racialism.

In 2019, budget features very practical strategies and programmes to ensure the State will be developed systematically in line with the Nation’s Economic Transformation Programme so as to achieve a high-income economy status by 2020 with a GDP of USD15,000.

This will involve the restructuring of our State’s economic base from a ‘production-oriented economy’ to a more diversified and value-added economy with increasing emphasis on quality, skills, knowledge and energy.


84

The Sarawak Government has carried out its policies as planned and have duly governed in accordance with the aspirations of the majority of the people in the State.

Tuan Speaker, we have entered an era of globalised world economy. There are a lot of adjustments to be undertaken to ensure this globalised world works justly for the small as well as big nations of the world.

For Sarawak, coming up the ladder means to be engaged with the world investors, world players and not just small industries. It is a different ball game from what it used to have. A lot of industries that have been nursed based on the simple formula of giving incentive like cheap labour are no longer viable.

We must think deeply about the world’s financial structure. Recently a big financial crisis has brought down the economy of some European countries. This is the first time the world has to be redeemed by the prosperity of Asia rather than the other way round.

We must build our human resources and expand our potentials. We must see how we can coordinate our infrastructure and manpower planning and take the next step of the politics of development.

We have succeeded to transform our economy by modernising our agriculture. We have tried to get our agriculture to give us agriculture-based industries. But that is not enough for the future because we are going to support the bigger population. Because of that, the State has designed a new plan to build its economy based on natural wealth. The State has half a billion tonnes of coal and hydro potentials exceeding 20,000 megawatts.

The cost of energy is going to rise from now on that requires us to find ways of making green energy as cheap as conventional one. We must find ways to encourage energy intensive industries to invest in Sarawak. Initially, we have to invite world players.

In pursuing Sarawak economic agenda, the State must have some leeway and autonomy in deciding certain matters. This is necessary given Sarawak unique local conditions, primarily because of the fact that population settlements were scattered throughout the State, thereby making it difficult to develop the State uniformly.

Sarawak is not the same like Peninsular Malaysia in terms of the rate of development and attracting investors. Because of that we need to design our strategy differently and SCORE is also different from other regional corridors. Therefore, a sufficient economic leeway shall enable us to meet the requirements of foreign investors to ensure that industry players can come to Sarawak as quickly as possible.

Tuan Speaker, the Sarawak Government, in its continuous efforts to institute positive changes to the State and country, will continue to find ways how to accumulate more wealth for the State. The Sarawak Government has been planning and implementing many development projects for decades.

Being a wakil rakyat from a sub-urban and rural area, I must state my appreciation and thanks to the State Government for placing and prioritizing special emphasis on rural development programmes such as reflected in both the National Budget and State Budget for 2018, which also includes my constituency.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the various Government agencies involved in the implementation of projects such as the State Development Office, the Kuching Resident’s Office, the Kuching District’s Office, the Public Works Department, the


85

Land and Survey Department, the Housing Development Commission, the State Religious Department, DBKU, MBKS, MPP, SEDC, PELITA and many other agencies.

Hence the focus now is on Human Resource Transformation, which is a testament to the visionary and purposeful leadership of Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Patinggi Ketua Menteri and as such there is a Technical Secondary School in my constituency to train students of all races in the technical subjects to prepare them for the industrial job market.

And most importantly the people of Demak Laut would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Sarawak Government for the recently completed Bako Bridge, a project which has been long awaited by the people. With this new bridge which will be completed, which is already completed, the socio economic status of the villagers of Kampung Bako would definitely be very much improved. Thank you, Yang Amat Berhormat Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Ketua Menteri. Tuan Speaker, we in Sarawak are fortunate to be rich in natural resources which form our natural wealth blessed with a Visionary Economic Structure and Planning by Yang Amat Berhormat Ketua Menteri. Therefore, to enhance this further, we must find ways to work together and to help each other amongst all the races in the State, to diversify, to create new opportunities, to form new growth centres, to train more skilled workforce, to generate more jobs, to search for new ideas, to adapt ourselves to be more productive, to keep abreast with changes, to nurture capable talents, to explore new territories and new business activities, to bring benefits directly and indirectly, to bring investors and potential investors, to capitalise on the multiplying effects and spinoffs, to have win-win solutions, to have smart and strategic partnerships, to be the frontier of the global supply chain and finally to enjoy a better life in Sarawak. Tuan Speaker, demi rakyat Sarawak, kita akan mempertahankan semua hak-hak kita yang termaktub dalam OMO58 dan MA63. Demi rakyat Sarawak, kita akan memperjuangkan hal ini di bawah naungan parti-parti Sarawak, yang benar-benar akan berjuang habis-habisan dibandingkan dengan parti-parti daripada Malaya yang hanya berminat untuk mengambil hak-hak kita untuk sumber pendapatan mereka sendiri. Demi rakyat Sarawak, kita akan berjuang habis-habisan untuk mengembalikan hak-hak kita termasuk royalti minyak 20%. Demi rakyat Sarawak, kita akan bergerak dan berjuang berpaksikan parti-parti tempatan Sarawak dan kita akan menolak semua parti-parti daripada Malaya. Hanya rakyat Sarawak sendiri yang memahami kehendak dan keperluan negeri Sarawak. Demi rakyat Sarawak, kita tidak akan berkompromi untuk mendapatkan segala hak-hak, tidak kurang dan tidak lebih daripada apa yang termaktub dalam OMO58 dan MA63. Tuan Speaker, before I end, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Christian Members of this House a Merry Christmas and to all a blessed and Happy New Year 2019 and Happy Chinese New Year. On this note, Tuan Speaker, I render my strong support for the Suppy (2019) Bill, 2018 and the motion to refer the Resolution on the estimate of Development Expenditure 2018. Thank you, sir. Tuan Speaker: Any other Honourable Member who wish to speak? Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat, the sitting is now adjourned and the House shall resume its sitting at 9.00 am on Monday, 12th November 2018.

(Mesyuarat ditangguhkan pada jam 6.05 petang)
