These banners were put up without permits and were found to be obstructing public view and affecting the cleanliness of the area. Tan reminded individuals and businesses that all banners, buntings, andRead More
Lo: Federal Two-Teacher Classroom Plan Premature and Risky
Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Ir. Lo Khere Chiang has questioned the practicality of the Education Ministry’s proposal to place two teachers in one classroom to teach English, Science, and Music simultaneously, calling it a rushed and poorly thought-out move. He said the plan should first be tested in selected schools before being expanded nationwide, as failure to do so could waste public funds and cause confusion among teachers and students. “This proposal is being presented as an innovative solution, but in reality, it is a hasty response to complex issuesRead More
罗克强:教育部两教师教课举措欠缺规划
峇都吉当议员拿督罗克强指出,联邦教育部长近期提出在同一课室安排两名教师同时教授英文、科学与音乐三科的建议,虽被形容为“创新举措”,实则是一项欠缺规划、试点与评估的仓促政策。 他表示,若政策未经试行便全面推行,全国教育体系恐将因此陷入混乱,导致教师与学生不必要的负担与困扰,并造成公共资源浪费。 罗克强指出,砂拉越在教育政策上一直秉持稳健、因地制宜的原则。例如在废除小六检定考试(UPSR)后,砂拉越并未盲从,而是推出小六双语评估测试(Primary Six Dual Language Programme Assessment Test),以符合本地教育实际需求,广获社会欢迎。 他说,砂拉越政府在砂总理拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿邦佐哈里领导下,始终坚持以马来文与英文并行作为工作语言,并继续以英文教授科学与数学科目,明确表明英文并非文化威胁,而是通向科学、科技、工业、投资与创新的全球语言工具。 他反观希盟在2018年执政期间,一名来自行动党的砂拉越领袖在出任副部长后,却反对强化英文教学媒介,这与其在反对党时期的立场完全相悖,显示其选择服从联邦政策而非维护砂拉越利益。 罗克强说,砂拉越政府在教育发展上采取务实且前瞻的政策,包括推行免费高等教育与奖助学金计划,确保经济因素不会成为年轻人升学的阻碍。 “共同教学(co-teaching)若执行得当,确有助益,但教育部所提的‘两教师三科并教’模式,并未真正针对问题核心。”他说,该部声称此举可提升课堂创意并协助较弱学生,甚至建议合并两班教学,但这将造成课室更拥挤、课堂噪音增加、教师协调困难、教学负担倍增。 他指出,教学成效需要清晰领导与课堂连贯性,不同教师风格与教学节奏若未协调,极易出现一方主导、一方退居次席的情形,反而不利学生学习。 “试问今日任何一名教师,是否愿意同时教授三门科目、合并班级、倍增备课时间、并在嘈杂的课室内兼顾不同程度学生的需求?若教育部真愿投入资源,不如用于减小班级规模,更具成效。” 他指出,国际上成功的共同教学通常仅限于“一科一课一班”,多用于特殊教育支援,而非日常三科并教;跨学科教学虽有成效,但多以专题形式出现,而非固定课堂模式。 罗克强强调,校园霸凌与学生行为问题并非教学方式所致,而是心理与社交层面的问题,正确做法应是增加辅导员、心理教育与纪律教师人手,而非推行复杂的课堂架构。 他也肯定砂教育部长拿督斯里罗伦沙嘉、副部长拿督安努亚拉派与副部长法兰斯哈丁在强化砂教育体系方面的努力,并呼吁政策应建立在“务实、可行、可持续”的基础上。 “砂拉越不应因为政策来自布城(Putrajaya)就被迫照搬。我们有责任为自己的学生、教师与未来,选择最适合砂拉越的道路。” 他说,砂拉越必须继续坚持:“做对砂拉越最正确的事。”
Wilfred Yap rebukes DAP
Kota Sentosa State assemblyman Wilfred Yap rebuked DAP Sarawak’s response to his earlier statement on healthcare, saying it revealed the party’s lack of understanding about governance and federal responsibility. “DAP’s latest statement by Michael Kong once again exposes how out of touch DAP Sarawak has become with the fundamental realities of governance and federal responsibility,” Yap said. He described DAP’s reply as defensive and filled with political rhetoric instead of substance. “Instead of addressing the core issue who bears the constitutional and fiscal responsibility for healthcare Michael Kong resorted toRead More

沈桂贤:砂计划在第13大马计划下兴建2万单位可负担房屋
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,砂拉越计划在明年启动的《第13大马计划》(RMK-13)下兴建多达2万单位可负担房屋,以加快提升人民居住水平并推动社会经济发展。 他指出,自2021年至今年为止,《第12大马计划》(RMK-12)下仅规划3,500单位可负担房屋,因此在新阶段计划中,砂拉越政府将显著扩大建设规模,确保更多中低收入家庭受惠。 “在第13大马计划中,我们已计划兴建约2万单位可负担房屋。” 他昨日在砂拉越房屋发展机构(HDC)2025年至2027年度董事委任与表扬信颁发仪式上致词时,这么表示。 沈桂贤说,这项计划不仅是推动砂拉越发展与提升人民福祉的重要举措,也有助于实现《2030年砂后冠病发展策略》(PCDS 2030)的目标,为更多砂拉越人民提供稳定与可负担的居所。 在仪式上,万年烟区议员阿都雅谷阿比受委为砂拉越房屋发展机构主席;公共卫生、房屋及地方政府部常务秘书拿督罗伊丽莎白受委为副主席。 HDC董事会成员包括美拉央区议员拿督罗兰杜亚朱宾、武吉比哥南区议员拿督蒙达冈、马拉端区议员拿督陈冠勋及灵宜区议员拿督诺拉莎阿旺索合。 其他成员还包括砂财政司拿督斯里旺里佐兹曼、天然资源及城市发展部常务秘书拿督阿都拉朱莱希,以及砂土地与测量局局长拿督阿旺占哈里阿旺马末。
叶耀星否认砂政府未尽力强化医疗体系
哥打圣淘沙区议员叶耀星严正否认砂行动党主席张健仁指控砂拉越政府未尽力强化医疗体系的说法,批评有关言论“不负责任且具误导性”。 叶耀星表示,砂政党联盟政府在砂拉越总理拿督巴丁宜阿邦佐哈里的领导下,已采取严肃且具前瞻性的措施,于今年4月9日正式推行《砂拉越公共卫生总蓝图2050》。 他说,阿邦佐哈里已明确指出,这份总蓝图体现砂拉越致力建立自主与强韧的医疗体系,减少对联邦机制的依赖,并确保在2050年前让所有砂拉越人民都能公平获得优质的医疗服务。 他补充,这项蓝图由砂拉越政府全额资助,涵盖多个层面的规划,包括确定需兴建新医院与诊所的地区、提升现有医疗设施、强化农村医疗服务、人力资源发展及远程医疗覆盖。 “这是一项全面性的路线图,旨在缩小各地区医疗服务差距,确保全砂各省与县区都能享有公平的医疗资源。” 叶耀星指出,《2050公共卫生总蓝图》的落实,充分证明砂拉越正在自主规划并掌握自身医疗发展的方向。 他也提醒,虽然医疗事务属联邦政府管辖,但包括老越医院及柏特拉再也医院在内的多项主要医院计划,皆是在砂拉越政府持续施压与积极跟进下,才得以加快建设进度。 他强调,砂行动党的指责毫无根据,反映出他们身居联邦职位却只会在旁批评的虚伪态度。

Wilfred Yap Refutes Chong’s Claims, Says Sarawak Government Committed to Strengthening Healthcare
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap has refuted recent criticisms by Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen, describing them as inaccurate. He said the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Government under Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has already taken firm steps to strengthen Sarawak’s healthcare system through the Sarawak Public Health Master Plan 2050. “The Master Plan, launched by the Premier on April 9, 2025, demonstrates Sarawak’s determination to build a stronger and more self-reliant healthcare system, while ensuring fair access to quality healthcare forRead More
许徳婉:火箭失职转嫁给砂政府
人联党中央妇女组主席兼砂总理政治秘书许德婉抨击砂行动党主席张健仁及其社青团,要求砂政府兴建所谓“非营利私人医院”的言论,是试图把他们身为执政党及国会议员的失职转嫁给砂政府,更是一场误导性的政治表演。 许德婉指出,根据《联邦宪法》,医疗是联邦政府的责任。砂拉越长期透过石油与天然气、个人所得税及销售税,为国家贡献庞大财政收入。她质问,既然砂拉越已持续为国家付出,为什么砂民还要为了联邦政府该承担的义务再次埋单。 她强调,砂行动党不仅没有为砂拉越争取应得的联邦拨款,反而要砂民付“三次钱”,包括石油天然气收入贡献、砂民缴付的税收与销售税,以及再动用砂拉越国库。 她说,砂行动党社青团声称这是“以民为先的领导”,但事实恰恰相反,这是砂行动党无法在布城捍卫砂权益、无力落实《大马协议1963》,却企图转移责任的政治操作。 她指出,砂行动党的提案看似“为民请命”,实则是典型的“空炮政治”,一贯以煽动性口号博取掌声,却回避现实挑战。 “他们不谈如何解决医护人员短缺,不谈如何争取联邦卫生权下放,不谈如何确保财政可持续,反而抛出一个听起来好听但难以执行的建议。” 她表示,这种做法很典型,提出听起来照顾人民的口号,避开实际操作与财务问题;若政府没做,就批评“你们不关心人民”;若政府做了,就声称“这是我们的建议起作用”。这不是负责任的政治,而是表演政治。 许德婉也讽刺指出,如果建所谓“非营利私人医院”,却要以公立医院收费,那还叫私立医院吗?这根本是概念混乱。私立医院是以市场机制运作、病患自费或保险支付的机构;若以公立收费标准运营,那其实就是公立医院,只是换个名字。 她进一步指出,医疗体系的关键不只是“建医院”,而是后续的人力、设备维护、药品采购及行政运营。即使砂政府愿意出资兴建,联邦卫生部是否准备好接收与配合仍是问题,全国医护人手不足的情况早已不是新鲜事。 “张健仁是否有具体方案解决?难道放空炮就能解决医护短缺?” 针对社青团所谓“机场与医院选一个”的言论,许德婉认为这是企图分化砂民。 “这与张健仁早前要求砂政府放弃兴建新机场、只升级现有古晋国际机场的言论如出一辙。为什么砂行动党总是叫砂拉越‘不要想太多’、‘够用就好’?难道砂民就不配拥有更好的设施与未来?” 她重申,砂拉越应当享有先进的交通系统与完善的医疗设施,而且应由联邦政府公平拨款承担,因为砂拉越已通过天然资源和税收长期为国家贡献。 “交通是经济发展的动脉,医疗是人民福祉的基础。新机场、自动捷运系统(ART)与医疗设施,都是推动砂拉越现代化的重要战略工程,绝非奢侈品。” 她最后指出,砂拉越不应因砂行动党在布城无力争取发展资金与医疗拨款而被牵连。砂民要发展、要公平、要前进,但绝不应接受砂行动党把自身在联邦的不作为推给砂政府。
罗克强:火箭应为砂争取更多拨款
峇都吉当区议员拿督罗克强呼吁民主行动党应把精力放在争取更高的联邦拨款予砂拉越,而不是批评砂拉越政府的各项发展开支。 他指出,行动党领袖不应质疑砂拉越政府在必要发展项目上的财政投入,而应利用他们在布城中央政府的职位,为砂拉越争取合理比例的联邦行政与发展资金。 “如果实旦宾国会议员及其同僚是真心的,他们就应当利用自己在布城的地位争取联邦行政与发展拨款,而不是要求砂拉越人民从州储备金中‘再付一次钱’。” 罗克强是针对实旦宾国会议员张健仁日前呼吁砂拉越政府协助设立非营利私人医院的言论作出回应。 他指出,医疗服务属于联邦政府的责任,但如今是砂拉越政府挺身而出,自行出资建设砂拉越癌症中心,让病患无需再离乡背井飞往吉隆坡接受治疗。 “公共交通也是一样。槟城的轻快铁(LRT)完全由联邦政府出资,但当砂拉越利用自身资源建设自动捷运系统(ART)时,他们却说这是不必要的。”
Lo Defends Sarawak’s Spending to Meet Urgent Needs
Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Ir. Lo Khere Chiang has defended the Sarawak Government’s spending decisions, saying they are necessary to address urgent needs that the Federal Government has failed to fund. He said it was ironic that the Member for Padungan criticises the Sarawak Government whether it spends or not, yet fails to secure Federal allocations when his party is in the Federal Government. “Healthcare is a Federal responsibility, yet it is the Sarawak Government that is financing the Sarawak Cancer Centre first to ensure our people do not needRead More
Kho Teck Wan Urges DAP to Seek Fair Federal Healthcare Funding Instead of Burdening Sarawak
Political secretary to the Premier of Sarawak, Kho Teck Wan called on MP Stampin, Chong Chieng Jen and DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) to focus on securing fair federal healthcare funding rather than shifting financial responsibilities to the Sarawak Government. Responding to DAP’s proposal for the state to establish “non-profit private hospitals,” Kho described it as an attempt to divert attention from the Federal Government’s duty under the Constitution to provide healthcare services. “Healthcare is a federal responsibility in accordance with the Federal Constitution. Sarawak already contributes significantly through oil andRead More
Wilfred Yap Calls To Government Authorities To Be Stronger In Fighting Scammers
Kota Sentosa State Assemblyman, Wilfred Yap has raised concern over the increasing number of Sarawak youths falling prey to deceptive job and study offers, describing such schemes as a modern form of human trafficking and exploitation. He said the recent case revealed by the Malaysian Tribunal for Consumer Protection Movement (MTPN) Sarawak, where a young victim was deceived, coerced, and threatened into making payments under duress, exposed weaknesses in preventive enforcement and highlighted the urgent need for stronger and more proactive action by the authorities. “What began as a so-calledRead More
《我的孩子不是我的:一场教育与社会的真心对话》8日举行
“我是在保护孩子,还是在以爱之名束缚他?”当这句看似温柔的提问,成为无数父母的日常挣扎时,我们或许该停下来,重新思考:教育的责任,究竟属于谁? 由 砂人联党古晋支部妇女组主办,洪清和路城市安全委员会与古晋青星幼儿园协办的专题对话《我的孩子不是我的:一场教育与社会的真心对话》,将于本月8 日(星期六)下午 3 时 假 古晋河滨阁 GrandRiverine Diamond 5 举行。 活动以“教育责任的边界”为核心议题,邀请社会大众一同反思:当家长以“我是在为你好”的名义,为孩子规划一切时,是否也在不知不觉中削弱了孩子独立面对世界的能力? 近年来,马来西亚接连发生青少年犯罪与校园暴力事件,从打架斗殴、偷窃到网络霸凌,到最近的杀人案件,反映出家庭与社会在教养过程中的失衡。主办方表示,这场论坛希望以开放对话的形式,让不同角度的专业声音交汇,共同探索教育的本质与责任。 论坛将由四位重量级嘉宾同台对谈,包括以多年幼教实务经验的砂拉越幼儿园公会主席江晋年 ,剖析家校沟通的挑战与支持机制;执业律师兼市议员黄笃荣律师,从法律与社会视角解析家庭、学校与社会三者在教育中的责任界线;砂总理政治秘书许德婉 ,以“女强人+母亲”的双重身份,分享职场女性如何在家庭教养与社会责任之间取得平衡。 这次,主办当局也邀请了幼教工作者谢永坤硕士到古晋来分享。他26年在幼教领域深耕,也是马来西亚国营广播电台《Ai FM· 爱生活》 亲子教养单元常驻嘉宾。从2005年至今,20年连续不断与听众分享超过100个亲子教养课题,分享内容涵盖婴幼儿发展、儿童行为管理、学前教育课程纲要、及亲子教养,强调教养是“教育”和“养育”的结合,同时认为父母的《教养过程是一辈子的事情》。 身为主办方负责人,砂人民联合党古晋支部妇女组主任蔡姄燕表示,“关于教育,家长往往是最投入、也最焦虑的一群。我们希望通过这场论坛,让父母重新认识教育的本质——不是控制,而是陪伴;不是替孩子做决定,而是教他们学会选择。” 联办单位古晋青星幼儿园校长甲必丹房予琪也说,“身为教育工作者,我们看到太多家长没有时间陪孩子成长,而孩子在家长的高期待下也失去了探索的勇气。教育需要理解与信任,这场对话能让社会重新看见孩子成长真正需要的空间。” 另一个联办单位,古晋洪清和路甲必丹符致宝认为,这项活动十分有意义。“社会不只要关注成绩,更要关注孩子的心理健康与社会适应力。这样的跨界对话,是打造安全、健康社区的重要一步。” 蔡姄燕强调,这不仅是一场专家论坛,更是一场家长与社会的双向对话。现场将开放家长提问环节,让参与者有机会就现实教养困惑,与四位嘉宾面对面交流。 “教育不是独角戏,它需要家庭的陪伴、学校的引导与社会的托举。” 蔡姄燕表示,希望 透过这场真心对话,让更多家长重新理解“教养”二字的真正意义——那是“教育”与“养育”的结合,是一场持续一生的学习。 本次活动免费入场,但须提前报名。报名截止日期为 2025 年 11 月 4 日。有兴趣者可联络016-8661830或登入 http://forms.gle/duqAf1L4G6HAxtLb9 报名参与。
Dr Sim says Health Ministry’s ‘One State, One Heart Centre’ Policy Unsuitable for Sarawak
Sarawak Deputy Premier and Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government, Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, has stated that the Health Ministry’s “One State, One Heart Centre” policy is not suitable for Sarawak due to the state’s vast size and scattered population. He said the policy might work for smaller states in Peninsular Malaysia, but it is clearly unrealistic for Sarawak, which is geographically equivalent to ten Peninsular states combined. “This model does not fit Sarawak. We are asking for the same standard as in Peninsular Malaysia asRead More
