Federal laws need to be strengthen to prevent scam epidemic, says Wilfred Yap
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap said the relentless rise of financial scams across Malaysia has become a national crisis that demands urgent action. Almost every day, he said, we hear of innocent Malaysians, including many Sarawakians being cheated out of their life savings by highly organised and increasingly sophisticated criminal syndicates. “These crimes are not merely statistics. Behind every scam is a retiree who has lost a lifetime of savings, a family struggling to recover financially, or a small business owner whose dreams have been shattered. Scammers are exploiting technologyRead More

PH’s Justification of Project Delays Does Not Hold Up
Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Ir Lo Khere Chiang has rejected Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen’s defence of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration, arguing that its explanation for reviewing development projects does not withstand scrutiny.

He said these included allocations for the Kampung Haji Baki community hall (RM1.5 million), Haji Baki hawker centre (RM750,000) and land-filling works at the Haji Baki cemetery (RM200,000).Read More

石角设新休闲公园
石角区议员拿督阿玛沈桂贤持续在选区推动能增强身心发展的休闲与体育设施，确保民众有适合的运动场所。 除了早前宣布落实的10个住宅区公园，现在也基于坐落在兵营路普通行动组（PGA）人口众多，因此该处将会增设一个新的休闲公园。 目前巴达旺市议会正积极处理相关文件和程序，预料将在近期进行公开招标。 石角选区人口越来越多，房屋发展也日益增加，在这种趋势下，民众需要更多休闲与运动设施，方便民众日常进行运动，达到身心健康目的。 沈桂贤发现到，石角河滨公园落实后，深受当地居民欢迎，也让他看到社区公园对民众的重要性与需求。 他说，虽然河滨公园有供不同年龄民众进行的各种运动设施，但却不方便居住离河滨公园比较远的住宅区民众前往。 “因此在规划石角区未来发展时，我们决定在多个住宅区推动社区公园建设，让居民在住家附近也能拥有运动及休闲空间。届时，民众将不再只有河滨公园一个公共公园选择。” 目前石角选区内最大型的体育综合中心是洪清河体育中心，它除了供民众主办庆典和聚会，也备有篮球和匹克球场，宽大的场所更方便民众进行集体活动，如健身操。 已经获得批准的10个住宅区公园总耗资382万1229令吉，属于选区内人民发展计划（RTP）项目，工程已于今年4月展开，预计于明年2月完成，并由巴达旺市议会负责执行。 10个公园中，除了一些属于兴建，有些是进行提升和维修工程，工程已陆续进行。 此次涉及提升、维修及兴建工程的10个住宅区分别为：原创花园（Taman Genesis）、味源花园（TamanMoyan）、高原花园（Taman Highfield）、德莎威拉花园（Taman Desa Wira）、Jalan CarinaEstate、石角路第三巷（Jalan Batu Kawa Lorong 3）、石角凤凰花园（Taman Phoenix BatuKawa）、石角RPR（Jalan RPR Batu Kawa）、三晋园（Taman San Chin）、温馨园（Taman VisionLand）。 与此同时，石角洪清河矿场周边地区的发展项目已准备就绪，砂政府拨款800万，来推行该计划，整个发展计划占地70英亩，其中包括蓝色公园。 蓝色公园占地超过20英亩，届时备有各种水上运动，同时该地区也将打造绿色公园，在这个占地超过40英亩的区域，将建设城市景观森林机配套设施。 沈桂贤重申，砂拉越政府将继续斥资推行社区基础设施建设，以提升居民生活质量，倡导健康生活方式，并支持石角的可持续发展，使其成为一个充满活力、宜居的选区。
