罗克强：准备好应对水患问题
砂人联党巴都吉当区州议员罗克强表示，其选区已经做好准备应对随时可能发生的水患。 无论如何，他表示农历新年至今并没有连绵豪雨，因此发生水患的机率不高，而一些地区的水患是属于闪电水灾和积水问题。 也是巴达旺市议会主席的罗克强说，该市议会也是在做好应对水患的准备。 他说，据他所知，地方政府部门将设有特别拨款，作为水利灌溉局解决闪电水灾问题的经费。 对于巴都吉当的发展计划方面，他指出，该选区获得500万令吉的乡区转型计划拨款，和200万令吉的小型计划拨款。 罗克强是于住家新春开放门户上受访时，这么表示。 来自各族的民众于大年初二踊跃出席罗克强的开放门户，向他贺年。
首长向沈桂贤贺年
首席部长拿督阿玛阿邦佐哈里与夫人拿汀阿玛祖玛安妮于大年初二向砂人联党主席兼地方政府部长拿督沈桂贤贺年。 在场包括沈桂贤母亲拿汀阿玛沈林素卿、沈桂贤夫人拿汀王淑燕及助理部长莎丽花哈希达等等。 另外，沈桂贤表示，砂人联党已经做好准备应对第14届全国大选。 他说，砂人联党向来都已经准备好应战，无论大选日期是几时，都没问题。 对于今年的新春开放门户，他指出，为了尊敬刚逝世的前首长拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿迪南沙登，他与人联党总部都尽量保持低调，简单庆祝春节。 他说，尽管农历新年是一个欢乐节日，但人们都还在怀念阿迪南生前的风采，后者的功绩与理念，而每个人都有必要延续他的精神。 他指出，其住家的新春开放门户是延续其已故父亲拿督阿玛沈庆鸿在世时的作风，邀请各族一起庆祝新年。他认为，维持开放门户的传统非常重要，因为这是促进人们情谊的其中一个管道，倘若少了开放门户，只会令更多人选择出国避年，“年味”越来越淡。
