| Posted: 09 Jan 2017 10:14 PM PST （本报古晋9日讯）行动党古晋区国会议员兼该党砂州委员会主席张健仁认为，砂拉越的本土政党无法阻止巫统的文化渗透砂拉越！ 张健仁今日在砂行动党总部召开的新闻发布会上，针对快餐店禁止民众携带非清真蛋糕入他们快餐店一事表示，虽然巫统无法实体的在砂拉越设立支部，但是这些事件都是典型的巫统政策。巫统的文化和政策已渗透入砂拉越。 他认为，宗教局回教化的政策已慢慢渗透入商业领域，而这些都与巫统的政策扯不开关系。 他认为，砂首长拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿迪南沙登可以重新检讨砂拉越政府的政策，以防巫统的文化和因素深入砂拉越。 转载自诗华日报 | ||
| Posted: 09 Jan 2017 10:12 PM PST （本报古晋9日讯）东西马小学练习本价格差距8%至9%，为砂家长们带来达3千万令吉的额外开销。
行动党古晋区国会议员张健仁呼吁尤其是砂政府，注重于捍卫砂普通百姓的权益，而不是在争取砂教育主权课题上，仅提及选建校的承包商及建学校等的课题，而是也关注普通百姓的权益。 张健仁于今日在砂行动党总部召开的新闻发布会上披露，在东马所售卖的小学练习本与西马所售卖的价格有5.7%至11.6%，或30仙至0.6仙的差距。 强制学生购买 他进一步披露，政府强制要求小学生都必须拥有这些小学的练习课本，而父母须自掏腰包自己购买。 "既然是强制要求学生必须拥有，那就应该统一价格，不要在让父母买贵书，加重父母的负担。" 他说，根据统计的数目，他预计砂州的小学生人数达30万人。如果父母每年都需要付额外的100令吉为孩子购买强制要求的课业本，那总数将达3亿令吉，而其10%便是3千万令吉，也为砂学生的父母带来达3千万令吉的额外开销。 加重父母负担 他认为，这对东马的父母有欠公平，因为这些练习本是强制要求学生必须购买，而比起西马的父母，东马的父母还需要付多余的钱。 他也认为，邮寄费不应成为课本价格差距的原因，如果是，那将对尤其是内陆地区的学生，如加帛的课本更贵了。 "如果真的是邮寄费而导致东西马的练习课本价格有所差距，那政府更应该介入解决。" 另外，他指出，砂首长拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿迪南沙登一直以来谈及的砂教育自主权或权力下放也只谈及让砂政府委任建校的承包商及决定学校的地点，根本没谈及学校的课程，也忽略了砂普通百姓的权益。 转载自诗华日报 | ||
| DAP: East Malaysians should not pay more for textbooks Posted: 08 Jan 2017 10:10 PM PST Sarawak DAP chief says if shipping cost is the reason for the higher price of books, then the difference should be subsidised by the government.  KUCHING: Sarawak DAP today urged Putrajaya to standardise the price of school textbooks for pupils in East and Peninsular Malaysia as East Malaysians are paying more for the same books that are made compulsory by the government. Sarawak DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen pointed out that currently, the price difference ranged from 5.7% to 11% for textbooks required by the school syllabus of primary pupils, adding that this was an additional burden for those studying in East Malaysia. "I think there should be a uniform price and we should not be made to pay more than those in Peninsular Malaysia," Chong said. One example he cited was the English language revision book for Standard Six pupils, which is sold at RM4.30 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM4.80 or 11.6% higher in East Malaysia. The Bahasa Malaysia exercise book for Standard Five pupils is sold at RM5.70 in Peninsular Malaysia and priced at RM6.30 in East Malaysia. Based on 2011 government data, Chong said there were 289,000 primary school pupils in Sarawak. "At about RM100 (for each parent) to buy books, you're talking about RM30 million in additional costs. That's money sucked out of Sarawak, on average, every year," Chong said. Chong also said that if shipping cost was the reason behind the higher prices of textbooks, the cost difference should then be subsidised by the government. "If the shipping cost is a concern, then the government has to step in, otherwise the books would be more expensive in rural areas," he said. "The shipping cost should not be made a reason because these are books made compulsory by the government. The people have no choice but to purchase it." freemalaysiatoday january 9,2017 | ||
| DAP wants public transportation improved Posted: 05 Jan 2017 10:08 PM PST KUCHING: Poor public transportation remains a serious issue not only in this city but across Sarawak that leaves many poor and low income working-class residents crippled with limited mobility and placed additional strain on them financially.  Thus, there is a crucial need to invest in and revive the public transport services, particularly in Kuching, to improve people's accessibility to just about everything – work, schools and services, Democratic Action Party (DAP) pointed out.To illustrate their point, Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong said many public bus services throughout Kuching City had been axed in the past several years. "Many residents in Bintawa have complained after the buses operating to some routes here have been cut for three months now, while the bus services to some areas in Sungai Apong have stopped a year ago," she told a press conference at the Bintawa Hawker Centre yesterday. "Now, only bus no. K1 to Muara Tabuan light industrial zone and Tabuan Jaya and bus K11 to King Centre are still operating in the Bintawa area," she elaborated. Because of that, she added, many residents in Bintawa area, especially from the low-income group and the elderly, had to seek other means of transportation like private vans to commute to their destinations. "Public transport like buses are a necessity, an extremely important mode of transport for the poor citizens who can't afford cars particularly," she stressed. DAP Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen, who is also Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa assemblyman, highlighted that proper public transportation system is a key factor in every good town planning. "A truly developed country is where even the rich or well-to-do are willing or regularly take public transport like buses, instead of every household owning two to three cars," he said. To show their displeasure with the government for totally neglecting the public bus services in Kuching, DAP held a protest at the bus stop opposite the Bintawa Hawker Centre. "The public bus service in Kuching is disappearing and there are only 100 over buses operated by four private companies currently which are grossly insufficient considering the size of the population," Chong said. He added that DAP had on many occasions reminded the government of the need to improve public bus services in Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri. "The Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem, had during the state election campaign said he might consider providing free public bus service but after the election, the state government is totally silent about it," he said. He suggested that government use the suggestions tabled in the past State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sittings on how it can approach this issue. "First, acquire shares of all the four existing bus companies. Second, purchase 200 more buses. Third, provide free public bus service in Kuching for the first five years," he suggested. "Taking into account the financial reports of the existing bus companies and market rate of new buses, it will take only about RM150 million on the part of the government to fully acquire the four companies, purchase 200 new buses and cover the operation cost for the first year," he said. "Operation cost for subsequent years will be about RM50 million a year," he added. On why there is a need to provide free bus services in the first five years, Chong said it is to allow people to try, change commuting pattern and adapt to public transportation.

| DAP: Fuel price hike shows BN confident of election win Posted: 02 Jan 2017 09:55 PM PST Sarawak DAP leader says BN's 2016 Sarawak election victory has given PM the confidence that he can do anything he wants and yet keep his supporters.  "For BN to increase petrol and diesel prices now and in an election year, is an indication that the BN is confident of winning the coming (general) election," said Sarawak DAP leader Chong Chieng Jen in a statement. "To a large extent, BN's showing in the 2016 Sarawak election has given (Prime Minister) Najib (Razak) that confidence. In other words, he can do anything he wants and yet the people will continue to support the coalition and return BN as the government," he said. BN won 72 of the 82 state seats in the Sarawak election held in May. Najib, who heads the BN coalition, must call for a general election no later than June 2018. Chong, who is Bandar Kuching MP, criticised the government for raising the price of fuel. He said putting the blame on rising international oil prices did not make sense as the government's overall oil revenue should also have increased. He said there was nothing wrong in using part of the proceeds from the production and export of oil as petrol and diesel subsidies to benefit the people, especially now when the ringgit was depreciating. The country, he said, was in an economic slowdown and people were finding it extremely hard to make ends meet. "Besides, at the start of the school year, many parents incur extra expenses for their children. This is surely not the right time to increase petrol and diesel prices," he added. The price of RON 95 and diesel were raised by 20 sen per litre to RM2.10/l and 2.05/l respectively. The price of RON 97 was increased by 15 sen to RM2.40/l. The finance ministry has defended the move, saying high-income earners were benefiting from the subsidies due to their use of large vehicles. freemalaysiatoday january 3,2017 | ||
| ‘Cheap’ purchase of Sacofa shares by CMS: Govt urged to clarify ‘loss of RM300 mln’ Posted: 29 Dec 2016 09:51 PM PST  KUCHING: Democratic Action Party (DAP) questions the state government's stance over the 'cheap sale' of 50 per cent of Sacofa's shares to CMS Berhad. State DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen in a statement issued to the press yesterday said the acquisition of 50 per cent share in Sacofa by CMS "is definitely a superb deal for CMS. Sad to say, the gains by CMS is at the loss and expense to Sarawakians in general". "That is why until today, the state government did not dare to answer directly why did the state government privatise a regulatory body for telco infrastructure and turn it into a regulatory cum business entity," said Chong. Chong asked how under such a position of conflicting interest the government would be able to ensure that the regulatory role of Sacofa will not be compromised for its business interest. "Was the political background and connection of CMS a factor in the privatisation exercise? There is no shortage of qualified economists in the Sarawak Ministry of Finance, why then is the Sarawak government cheap-selling Sacofa's 50 per cent share at such low price," he added. Chong pointed out that based on his personal estimate on the whole privatisation exercise, the Sarawak government had been short-changed by at least RM300 million.
