Posted by: 2win Posted date: 9:27:00 AM / comment : 0 ,

MIRI: Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing described the killing of PKR Miri secretary Bill Kayong in broad daylight as a heinous crime and called on the police to arrest and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice without delay.

He said Bill’s death was most unfortunate and should not have happened in this state and country.

“It is my wish and my hope that the authorities concerned find out who the perpetrators are – and do it as soon as possible,” he said when met during his working visit to Miri Port in Kuala Baram yesterday.

Bill, who was also secretary of Pedas (Sarawak Dayak Association) and personal assistant to Miri MP Dr Micheal Teo Yu Kheng, was shot dead in broad daylight at a traffic intersection near E-Mart Shopping Mall in Permyjaya on Tuesday morning.

Masing, who is also Minister of Infrastructure Development and Transportation and president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), said the heinous crime should be solved speedily so that Miri city would be safe again.

“Whatever differences you have, do not take the law into your own hands,” he stressed.

Later, he paid his last respects to the late Bill at his house in Senadin Housing Estate, together with SUPP secretary-general and Piasau assemblyman Datuk Sebastian Ting Chew Yew and others.

Meanwhile, PBB Youth leader and Minister of Works Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof expressed shock and sadness over the murder.

Like others, he called on the police to immediately launch an investigation into the case and haul those responsible to justice.

“Irrespective of political inclination, I unreservedly condemn such criminal act,” he said in a statement.

Fadillah also appealed to any member of the public who witnessed the incident to cooperate with the police and urged the people against making any speculation as a mark of respect to the victim’s family.

He prayed that the family would be strong in facing the trying times.

A PBB veteran, Datuk Peter Minos, said the broad daylight murder was most reprehensible and condemnable.

“Whatever was his political leaning and whatever cause he fought for, nobody has any right to murder him. If he was not safe, many of us who also at times speak up on Dayak and other issues are also not safe,” he said.

“Let there be justice. It is a really sad day for a fallen Dayak member and may Bill Kayong rest in peace,” he added.

Murder is an offence under Section 302 of the Penal Code which carries the death penalty by hanging.

Posted by: 2win Posted date: 11:41:00 AM / comment : 0 ,

MIRI: Setiausaha PKR Cawangan Miri, Bill Kayong maut setelah ditembak dari jarak dekat oleh individu tidak dikenali dalam kejadian yang berlaku di lampu isyarat berdekatan Pusat Komersil Emart, Tudan di sini pagi semalam.

Bill, 43, mati di tempat kejadian setelah satu das tembakan yang dilepaskan penjenayah terbabit menembusi cermin keretanya dan mengena bahagian leher sebelah kanan (bawah telinga kanan).

Dalam kejadian sekitar jam 8.30 pagi itu, mangsa yang memandu seorang diri kenderaan pacuan empat roda jenis Toyota Hilux sedang dalam perjalanan dari rumahnya di Desa Senadin menuju ke pejabat yang terletak di pusat bandar.

Semasa berhenti di lorong tengah lampu isyarat itu yang menghala arah ke Permyjaya, mangsa dipercayai ditembak menggunakan selaras senapang patah dari jarak dekat.

Selain itu, terdapat satu kesan tembakan di cermin sebelah pemandu dan terdapat kesan peluru tembus ke cermin sebelah kiri bahagian penumpang belakang.

Difahamkan, beberapa orang awam yang melalui tempat kejadian pada awalnya menyangka kereta mangsa mengalami kerosakan kerana tidak bergerak beberapa ketika sehinggalah mereka meninjau dengan lebih dekat dan mendapati mangsa sudah terkulai tidak bernyawa di tempat duduk pemandu dengan kesan cedera di leher.

Sementara itu, Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Sarawak SAC Dev Kumar mengesahkan kejadian itu dan mengklasifikasikan kes sebagai bunuh di bawah Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan.

“Maka, kita merayu kepada orang ramai yang ada melihat kejadian itu supaya tampil membantu siasatan polis.

“Memandangkan kejadian berlaku di kawasan lampu isyarat yang kebiasaannya sesak terutama pada waktu pagi, kita percaya ramai pengguna jalan raya kemungkinan ada melihat kejadian tembak tersebut,” katanya.

Dev turut mengingatkan orang ramai supaya tidak membuat sebarang spekulasi berhubung motif kejadian tersebut sehinggalah siasatan selesai.

Kejadian itu menggemparkan penduduk sekitar Permyjaya dan ahli keluarga mangsa yang dimaklumkan tentang kejadian termasuk isterinya, Hasyikin Hatta, 41, serta dua anaknya, seorang lelaki (18 tahun) dan seorang perempuan (14 tahun) turut bergegas ke tempat kejadian.

Trip to Awat-Awat

Posted by: 2win Posted date: 6:33:00 PM / comment : 0


Along the way to Lawas, we stopped by Trusan. It is a small town, and the durian lovers in us had a sampling of the famous Trusan durians, courtesy of community leaders.

As we were ahead of schedule, we decided to detour to Sundar and Kampung Awat-Awat. At Sundar, we were introduced to the famous smoked ‘ikan tahai’.

‘Ikan tahai’, a unique product of Lawas waters, is popular among the people of Lawas, Limbang and Brunei. It is a must-have for visitors to Sundar and Kampung Awat-Awat to bring home.

Drug abuse is said to be rampant in Lawas, but when you hear ‘makan dadah’ in Lawas, it could mean savouring the delicious local delicacy of smoked ‘ikan tahai’.

Locals swore ‘dadah soup’ is nutritious and can cure cold and fever. It is also addictive, they claimed, because many who had tasted it yearned to return for more.

‘Ikan Tahai’ is synonymous with Kampung Awat-Awat. There, the selected fish is smoked for two days using coal fire in a special smokehouse. Once smoked, the fish can last for about a month. Preserved with sea salt, it can be eaten on its own or cooked with other dishes.

At Kampung Awat-Awat, we drove to SK Awat-Awat and had a chat with headmistress Masnah Othman.

We were told the school has 220 pupils, 19 teachers, and four staff. Although it was built in 1956, well before Malaysia came into being, its structure looked decent and well maintained.

Masnah beamed with joy when she disclosed that the government had approved a new site at Kampung Awat-Awat for a new school building.

“On behalf of the school, I wish to thank the government for the proposed new school building. It will help the students, teachers and staff to develop in their respective areas.”

‘State govt to pursue, safeguard state’s rights’ – Adenan

Posted by: 2win Posted date: 3:05:00 PM / comment : 0 ,

THE state government has now received a strong electoral mandate from the people of Sarawak to take all necessary measures to safeguard the state’s rights and interests as one of the founding partners of the Federation of Malaysia.

The state joined the Federation after it had attained self-government and upon being granted independence by Britain under the terms of the Malaysia Agreement. Thus, Sarawak can never be equated to any state in Peninsular Malaysia (formerly Malaya), said Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem in his winding-up speech yesterday.

“The discussions with the federal government is not to seek for powers which constitutionally belong to the federal government but to reclaim those state powers and rights wrongly encroached upon by the federal authorities based upon the principle of ‘render to Caesar what is Caesar’s’,” said Adenan.

He further said the foundation for the Federation of Malaysia is the special constitutional safeguards for the interests and territorial boundaries of the states of Sabah and Sarawak, and it is a matter of historical record, that without these safeguards, Sabah and Sarawak would not have joined in the formation of Malaysia and Britain would not have agreed to the creation of the Federation.

This foundation should never be undermined; and in fact, should be strengthened to sustain national solidarity and to propel Malaysia to greater prosperity and progress towards a high income economy, he pointed out.

Adenan spoke at length on the state’s autonomy and devolution of power, touching on various laws to support the issue.

He reminded the august house of the Proclamation of Sarawak’s Independence by the first Chief Minister of Sarawak, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan, at the Central Padang on Sept 16, 1963.

The Proclamation declared Sarawak’s independence from Colonial rule, to fulfil one of the cardinal principles of the Brooke rule, that is, that the people of Sarawak will govern themselves and be in complete control of their own destiny.

Sarawak obtained self-government on July 22, 1963 which is now Sarawak Day, upon the appointment of a Sarawakian as Chief Minister, and a Supreme Council comprising members of the State Legislative Council.

The formation of Malaysia was achieved when the British government, Malayan government and the then governments of Sarawak, North Borneo (Sabah) and Singapore signed the Malaysia Agreement on July 9, 1963.

The states of Malaya were not parties to the Agreement.

The Proclamation clearly stated that Sarawak, North Borneo and Singapore were federated with the Federation of Malaya.

Sarawak became part of the Federation and not a state like any other states in the former Federation of Malaya.

Therefore, Sarawak, like Sabah, must have greater degree of executive, legislative and financial autonomy in comparison with the other states in Peninsular Malaysia.

“I must re-iterate, therefore, on Malaysia Day, Sarawak emerged from British colonial rule, did not simply become a colony of Malaya.

Sarawak was a self-governing country who agreed to be a partner in the formation of a new federation, called Malaysia,” stressed Adenan.

On the Malaysia Agreement, he said it contains the terms for Sarawak and Sabah to join the Federation of Malaya so as to form Malaysia, and stipulated the safeguards for the special interests of Sarawak and Sabah so that these states do not become like one of the states in the old Federation of Malaya.

The Malaysia Act was passed to amend various Articles of the Federal Constitution and the Immigration Act was passed to entrench the rights of the Borneo states to control entry into and residence into these states.

Therefore, the terms and safeguards for Sarawak to join Malaysia are clearly spelt out in the Malaysia Agreement, the Federal Constitution which contains and entrenched the rights and safeguards for Sarawak, passed by Parliament before Malaysia Day, The Malaysia Act 1963, and the recommendations in the Inter-Governmental Committee Report (IGC Report) which was annexed to the Malaysia Agreement and the government of the Federation and Sarawak and Sabah agreed to take whatever legislative, administrative and executive actions to fully implement those recommendations to safeguard the special interests of Sarawak and Sabah which have not already been incorporated into the Federal Constitution after Malaysia Day.
