沈桂贤圣诞节献词
砂副总理兼公共卫生、房屋及地方政府部长拿督阿玛沈桂贤表示，团结精神、家庭情谊与共同责任，始终是推动砂拉越迈向未来的重要核心。他说，圣诞节是一个珍贵时刻，各族群人民不分背景，回到家人、朋友及至亲身边，共享喜悦、共进佳肴，进一步拉近彼此关系，体现砂拉越社会多元而团结的独特力量，彰显大家同为砂拉越子民的共同身份。 他指出，2025年的砂拉越，已与10年前大不相同，如今不仅在国内获得更高关注，也成为全国参考与借镜的对象。 因此，他呼吁每一名砂拉越人民，各自在岗位与生活中尽一份力，按能力作出贡献，共同推动砂拉越持续进步。 他说，人民应抽空反思自身能为砂拉越做些什么，以及大家如何携手为砂拉越付出，并把佳节视为“充电”的时刻，以便在迈入2026年时，以全新精神投入砂拉越的建设工作。 他是在周三发表2025年圣诞节献词时，作出上述呼吁。 他也在献词中提到，砂拉越将继续朝2030年发展愿景迈进，致力打造一个更先进、更具竞争力及更繁荣的砂拉越，惠及未来世代。 他同时祝愿全体砂拉越人民身体健康，继续为砂拉越的发展与建设贡献力量。

Adam Yii Says Sarawak Must Stay Firm on Its Own Development Path
Sarawak United Peoples Party central publicity secretary Adam Yii said the recent federal Cabinet reshuffle and the appointment of two Members of Parliament from Sarawak Pakatan Harapan as deputy ministers should be viewed with caution rather than celebration. In a statement, Yii said that on the surface the appointments appeared to signal greater federal attention to Sarawak’s voice. However, when examined within a broader political context, he described the move as a calculated political manoeuvre rather than a genuine contribution to Sarawak’s long term development. He said following Pakatan Harapan’sRead More

俞小珊：砂继续坚定走好属于自己的发展路径
人联党中央宣教秘书俞小珊发文告指出随着联邦政府宣布最新的内阁改组，两位来自砂拉越希盟的国会议员被委任为副部长。表面上，这似乎象征着联邦更加重视砂拉越的声音。然而，若将事件放在更大的政治背景下检视，就会发现这项任命更像是一场精心计算的政治算计，而不是对砂拉越发展的实质贡献。 他说，在沙巴经历补选惨败之后，希盟目前迫切需要稳定东马的政治版图，以免相同的局面在下一届砂选举重演。任命来自砂希盟的副部长，显然是为了向砂拉越释放“被重视”的讯号，以安抚支持者，也为砂希盟输血，确保其能撑过未来的政治竞争。 “然而，砂拉越人民必须清醒地认识到副部长的任命是迫于无奈的政治操作，而不是权力的下放是象征性的补偿，而非真正的发展承诺。” 他进一步表示，砂拉越长期争取的，是实质性的权力、资源与政策自主，包括 MA63 所赋予的权利、能源与教育的独立决策空间、以及更公平的财政分配。 他称，联邦的政治与砂拉越的现实需求本质上不同。砂拉越正处于发展关键期，从氢能经济、绿色产业、再生能源，到教育自主、数字化转型与乡区基础设施提升，每一步都在朝 PCDS2030 的方向稳健推进。这是一套属于砂拉越的蓝图，由砂拉越制定、砂拉越执行，也必须由砂拉越自己守护。 “因此，我们必须把焦点从’联邦委任了谁’拉回到’砂拉越真正需要什么’。” 他指出，砂盟政府在过去数年所展现的，是稳定、执行力与长远规划；联邦的政治安排，却往往随着形式与选举而改变，难以与砂拉越的发展节奏同步。砂拉越已经证明，只有摆脱马来亚政治的牵动，才能保持政策连贯性，吸引国际投资，实现经济转型。 “砂民必须看见，我们的未来不建立在联邦给予多少职位，而是我们自己有多大决心持续走好砂拉越优先的道路。无论政局如何变化，砂拉越的发展不能被马来亚政治的风向牵着走。我们不能让象征性的任命稀释了砂拉越追求真正自治与长远发展的努力，更不能让外来的政治操作干扰砂拉越前进的步伐。” “砂拉越已经站在腾飞的路上。现在最需要的，是继续坚定走好属于自己的发展路径。” 俞小珊强调，砂民值得拥有的，不是为了政党利益选票迫于无奈的安抚，而是真正属于砂拉越的权力、资源与未来。

叶耀星呼吁联邦政府尽快推动专门的反诈骗立法
哥打圣淘沙议员叶耀星指出，几乎每周都能在报章上看到国人坠入诈骗陷阱、痛失毕生积蓄的报道，包括退休人士被骗走养老钱、家庭因此负债，甚至小商家一夕之间血本无归，这已不再是零星个案，而是正在加剧的全国性问题。 他说，身为砂议员，他对媒体频繁报道诈骗案件的规模与频率深感忧虑。尽管当局不断发出警告、展开执法行动并加强公众宣导，但相关损失仍持续攀升，反映我国现有法律框架，已难以应对现代诈骗集团的手段与速度。 他指出，目前我国多以刑事法典第417条文及第420条文，即“欺骗”及“不诚实诱骗”条款，来对付诈骗行为，但这些条文原本是针对传统诈骗设计，在面对跨平台、跨国界、以科技为主导的诈骗活动时，已显得力有未逮。 他说，当局也援引1998年通讯及多媒体法令第233条文，对付通过WhatsApp、短讯及社交媒体传播的诈骗信息，但该法令主要针对不当通讯行为，刑罚轻重与受害者所承受的严重财务损失并不相称。 他指出，2001年反洗黑钱、反恐融资及非法活动收益法令，主要用于追查及充公诈骗所得，尤其涉及钱骡户头的案件。然而，该法令多属事后追责，许多案件往往在款项已被转走、提领或汇往海外后才展开行动，追回资金的机会十分渺茫。 他说，这也是为何不少受害者即使第一时间报案，仍被告知资金难以追回，反映现行法律仍停留在“事后补救”的阶段。 他指出，新加坡已采取不同方向，通过推出《防诈骗保护法令》，将重点转向预防，并对钱骡户头采取强硬立场。任何明知或疏忽让银行户头被用于诈骗的人士，都会面对严厉刑罚、迅速资产充公及赔偿令，有效打击诈骗网络。 他认为，从我国媒体不断揭露的案例可见，钱骡户头仍是我国防诈体系中的弱点，相关刑罚不一、阻吓力不足，导致诈骗集团持续利用这一漏洞。 他说，诈骗并非轻微罪行，它摧毁生计、打击数字经济信心，并侵蚀公众对制度的信任。每日见诸报端的新闻，应成为全国警醒的警钟。 他呼吁联邦政府尽快推动专门的反诈骗立法，赋予执法单位在资金转移前采取预防行动的权力，加重对钱骡户头持有人的刑罚，并强化银行、电讯公司与执法机构之间的即时合作机制。 他强调，保护国人免受诈骗侵害并非选择题，而是政府的责任，行动刻不容缓。
Scams need to be tackled
Kota Sentosa State Legislative Assemblyman Wilfred Yap has called on the Federal Government to urgently reform Malaysia’s laws to address the alarming rise in scam cases that continue to dominate daily news headlines. He said frequent reports of retirees losing their life savings, families falling into debt and small business owners being financially ruined show that scams are no longer isolated incidents but a serious and escalating national crisis. “As a state assemblyman, I am deeply concerned by the sheer frequency and scale of scam cases reported in the media.Read More
俞小珊巡视排水系统提升工程
埔奕区议员俞小珊今日巡视正在埔奕3号路进行的排水系统提升工程，以确保进度顺利、施工品质达标，并进一步了解工程对周边社区的改善效果。 此次提升工程不仅包括重建与扩宽现有排水槽、加强地下结构及改善水流路线，也会在工程完成后全面封闭沟渠表面。此举旨在大幅提升行人及道路使用者的安全，避免过往开放式沟渠导致的意外风险，同时也让道路环境更整洁、安全、美观。 承包商目前正在进行结构加固、钢筋安装及沟槽灌浆等关键工序，整体工程持续按计划稳步推进 “排水系统的完善程度直接影响居民安全及雨季期间的交通状况，这里长期面对积水问题，必须彻底解决。除了提升排水能力，这次工程特意将沟渠封闭，以保障日后居民的安全。工程完成后，相信这里的生活品质会明显改善。”他说。 他亦表示，将继续密切监督工程，以确保承包商严格遵照施工规格，并尽可能减少对交通与居民的影响。 “我感谢居民在施工期间的耐心与配合。希望大家继续遵守交通指示，确保施工与通行安全。”

SUPP calls for open and pragmatic review of UEC recognition
Sarawak United Peoples Party Secretary General Datuk Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew expressed disappointment over Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s response to the Unified Examination Certificate issue, saying it did not meaningfully address the long standing aspirations and educational needs of students and parents. Ting said while Bahasa Melayu is rightly recognised as the national language under the Federal Constitution, this should not be used as a reason to dismiss the recognition of the UEC, which is already accepted by many countries and internationally renowned universities. He said if theRead More
陈超耀：联邦政府无理由不承认统考文凭
砂拉越人民联合党中央秘书长兼卑尔骚议员拿督陈超耀律师针对首相拿督斯里安华就独中统考课题的回应发表文告，对首相在回应中强调联邦宪法中马来语作为国家官方语言地位，并在该框架下探讨统考承认问题的做法，表示关注与遗憾。 他表示，首相理应是一名全民首相，应以公平与包容的态度处理攸关教育与下一代前途的重要课题。然而，在统考课题上，首相未能正面回应华社多年来持续且合理的诉求，也未能切合现实教育需求，令社会感到失望。 陈超耀指出，独中统考文凭早已获得世界多国及众多国际知名大学承认，这是不争的事实。在全球高等教育体系普遍接受统考文凭的情况下，联邦政府并无合理理由继续拒绝承认这一教育成果。 他认为，若联邦政府坚持统考承认涉及联邦宪法问题，负责任且符合民主精神的做法，应是通过国会程序提出修宪建议，让相关课题在国会进行公开、透明的辩论与表决，届时人民可清楚了解各方立场。 他强调，承认独中统考文凭并非政治操作，而是攸关下一代前途的重大教育课题。这不仅关系到当前学生，也关系到未来10至20年后我国下一代的发展空间与国际竞争力。 陈超耀指出，教育对孩子与学生至关重要，政府有责任为学生提供优质的教育机会与良好的学习环境，其中包括语言教育。教育政策应具前瞻性，为孩子未来的发展与国际竞争力作准备，而不应停留在过时的思维框架中。 他指出，过去数百年，英语一直被视为国际社会最重要的语言，广泛应用于知识传播、国际交流及商业领域。然而，随着全球经济与国际关系的变化，中文正逐步成为另一项重要的国际语言。 他表示，越来越多国家已将中文纳入学校课程体系，正视其在国际贸易、科技合作与区域交流中的重要性。若教育政策无法顺应这一趋势，限制学生掌握多语言能力，包括中文在内，将使学生在未来全球竞争中处于不利位置。 陈超耀指出，这一趋势并不局限于东亚地区。近年来，多国中东及穆斯林国家已将中文正式纳入国家教育体系，包括沙地阿拉伯在部分学校推行中文课程，伊朗、埃及、阿联酋、突尼斯及巴基斯坦也在学校层面开设中文课程。 他说，沙地教育部门亦推出多项措施鼓励学习中文，包括提供赴中国研学与交流的机会。在“沙地2030愿景”中，“中文语言技能”更被列为旅游及娱乐等领域的重要能力之一。 他表示，这些国际发展清楚显示，中文已不再是小众语言，而是逐步成为重要的国际语言。若教育体系无法顺应这一现实，学生将在日益激烈的全球竞争环境中面对更大挑战。 陈超耀强调，教育政策应以学生利益为优先，而不应被政治立场左右。忽视语言能力与多元教育的重要性，将削弱国家未来的整体竞争力。 他指出，统考文凭的承认不应只局限于砂拉越和沙巴。若西马州属持续拒绝承认，将导致独中教育发展不一致与不公平，也不利于全国教育体系的整体协调。 他呼吁各方停止将统考课题政治化或种族化，而应回归教育本质，正视这是一个关乎孩子未来、前途与国家竞争力的重要课题。 陈超耀指出，在砂拉越，已故砂首席部长丕显斯里阿德南早前已作出承认独中统考文凭的决定，现任砂总理拿督巴丁宜阿邦佐哈里亦延续有关政策，并每年拨款1000万令吉资助砂拉越14所独中，展现砂政府尊重多元教育与务实施政的精神。 他说，目前在独中就读的学生当中，也包括土著学生，让学生掌握多一门语言、多一种能力，有助提升他们未来的发展机会。 他表示，砂拉越人民联合党将继续捍卫多元教育与公平的教育机会，并促请联邦政府以更开放、务实与前瞻的态度，重新检视独中统考课题，为国家与下一代的未来负责。
