Taman Pekatra - Abadoned Housing Project for 13 years obtained OC

As reported in the Star
Saturday July 4, 2009

THERE are 21 abandoned housing projects in Penang with 14 “totally problematic”, said state Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai.
He said five projects were being revived while two others had been completed and were awaiting their occupancy certificate (OC).

“We are trying our best to solve the problems but the licensing and control powers lie with the Local Government and Housing Ministry.

“At the state level, we can only use indirect means such as local autho-rity controls,” he said before presenting resident association chairman Nik Ahmad Saide Nik Him with the OCs of a former abandoned project in Komtar on Monday.

Nik Ahmad Saide received 54 OCs on behalf of the purchasers of Taman Pekatra Indah in Sungai Bakap.

He thanked the various authorities for their assistance and appealed to the state to convert the land title from leasehold to freehold.

“The project was abandoned for 13 years and our lease is for 99 years. We only have 86 years left on the lease unless it is converted to freehold.

“The purchasers are also hoping that they can be exempted from pa-ying the assessment and quit rent charges as they have yet to move in,” he said.

The mixed development project, valued at RM50mil and com- prising 442 double-storey and bungalow units, is currently being deve-loped by Simcity — ETE Venture Sdn Bhd.

The company’s director Kor Yeak Tong said the project was divided into five phases.

“The 54 completed units are under phase one. We expect to get the OC for phase two by December.

“The rest of the phases are in va-rious stages of completion and we are aiming to get the OCs for all the units by 2012,” he said, adding that the main problem faced by the developer now was getting in touch with the purchasers.

“It’s been such a long time and many other developers have come and gone. So, we really need to get in touch with the purchasers to ensure that the project is completed on time.

“About 40% of the purchasers have yet to contact us,” he said.

“The bank will not release the funds and we will have difficulties completing the project as scheduled unless they do so,” he said, before urging the state to help speed up the OC process.

The other four projects which are been revived are Taman Suria (south Seberang Prai), Taman Teluk Air Tawar (north Seberang Prai), Taman Fettes Villa and Taman Cemerlang, both on Penang island.

Taman Pekatra Indah purchasers can contact the developer at 04-5010777 or email sct_ete@yahoo.com

Tiga beradik warga emas perlu dibantu

AIR ITAM – Pertalian darah antara tiga beradik warga emas di Kampung Masjid Jalan Zoo ternyata kukuh walaupun masing-masing semakin menginjak ke usia emas.

Kakak sulung, Hasnah Abu Bakar, 70, berkata, selaku kakak paling tua beliau tetap bersama dua adiknya yang mengalami masalah kesihatan dengan dijaga seorang lagi adik yang masih sihat.

Menurutnya, mereka telah bersama sejak usia muda, namun setelah ketiga-ketiganya tidak sihat hanya seorang adik perempuan menjaga mereka.

“Salah seorang adik perempuan saya, Rokiah Abu Bakar yang berusia 64 tahun mengalami masalah tekanan mental dan tidak boleh dibiarkan kerana dia boleh sakit secara tiba-tiba.

“Manakala seorang lagi adik lelaki, Abdul Rahman Abu Bakar, 66, pula mengalami masalah lumpuh dan sakit belakang,” katanya ketika ditemui Sinar Harian di rumahnya.

Hasnah juga adalah seorang aktivis sosial yang aktif sejak muda hingga berusia 69 tahun.

Bagaimanapun, disebabkan masalah kesihatan beliau terpaksa menghentikan segala aktivitinya bersama masyarakat.

Hasnah tidak mempunyai pencen dan hanya bergantung kepada wang daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) sahaja.

Hasnah berkata, sehingga kini, adik lelakinya, Abdul Rahman masih tidak menerima sebarang bantuan daripada mana-mana badan kebajikan untuk menyara kehidupannya.

Abdul Rahman yang tidak berkahwin hanya mengharapkan bantuan daripadanya dan juga salah seorang adik yang masih sihat, Khatijah Abu Bakar.

“Saya berharap ada pihak kebajikan sudi membantu adik lelaki saya ini kerana dia tidak mempunyai sesiapa.

“Khatijah juga banyak membantu kami dalam menguruskan pakaian dan makanan kami seharian,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Air Itam, Wong Hon Wai yang prihatin dengan nasib tiga warga emas tersebut, mengunjungi mereka untuk menghulurkan bantuan wang tunai.

“Bantuan yang diberikan ini adalah di bawah peruntukan DUN dan kami prihatin dengan nasib warga emas yang memerlukan di kawasan Air Itam,” katanya.

Bagi orang ramai yang ingin menghulurkan bantuan bolehlah menghubungi Hasnah di talian 04-8286469

15 penduduk tepi Sungai Air Itam dibantu

AIR ITAM – Masalah banjir kilat yang membelenggu kira-kira 15 penduduk berhampiran Sungai Air Itam akan diselesaikan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Air Itam dan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS).

ADUN Air Itam, Wong Hon Wai berkata, beliau dan JPS sedang mencari beberapa langkah mengatasi masalah banjir yang dihadapi penduduk selama beberapa tahun.

Menurutnya, beliau menerima aduan daripada penduduk mengenai kejadian banjir kilat sedalam 0.61 meter pada 8 Julai bermula jam 8.30 malam hingga 11.30 malam.

“Terdapat dua faktor terjadinya kejadian banjir pada malam tadi iaitu bacaan air hujan yang melebihi iaitu sebanyak 97.5 mililiter dan berlakunya air laut pasang yang bermula pada jam 10 malam.

“Namun, saya difahamkan banjir pada kali ini kurang teruk berbanding pada tahun lalu berikutan beberapa langkah pencegahan telah diambil JPS,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas mengadakan tinjauan kawasan banjir di Jalan Zoo bersama Penolong Jurutera Daerah Timur Laut, Mohd Fadzli Nor, ahli Jawatankuasa Keselamatan dan Kebajikan Kampung (JKKK) Air Itam, dan penduduk Jalan Zoo Air Itam.

Terdapat 30 rumah penduduk di Jalan Zoo dan hanya 15 rumah yang sering kali terjejas akibat banjir kilat setiap tahun kerana dibina berhampiran Sungai Air Itam.

Menurut maklumat daripada penduduk, kerugian mencecah RM5,000 bagi setiap sebuah rumah apabila berlakunya banjir kilat dan pada tahun ini hanya RM1,000 sahaja kerugian dilaporkan berikutan banjir kilat yang kurang teruk.

Pada 8 Julai 2009, hujan lebat yang bermula sejak jam 6 petang menjejaskan beberapa kawasan dalam Air Itam termasuk, Kampung Masjid Jalan Zoo, Taman Thean Theik dan Masjid Negeri.

Sementara itu, Mohd Fadzli berkata, terdapat dua projek yang dijalankan JPS bermula pada 2008 untuk mencegah masalah banjir di kawasan Air Itam.

Katanya, antara projek berkenaan ialah projek meluruskan tebing sungai untuk membenarkan air sungai berjalan lebih laju dan kedua ialah projek membina tembok parit Lumba Kuda.

“Setakat ini projek tersebut masih belum siap namun ia sedikit sebanyak mengurangkan masalah banjir berkenaan,” katanya.

Hon Wai juga memaklumkan beliau dan JPS akan berbincang pelbagai langkah lain untuk mengelakkan kejadian banjir lebih kerap berlaku.

Antaranya ialah mendalamkan kawasan sungai serta melebarkan tebing-tebing supaya dapat menampung lebihan air apabila berlakunya hujan lebat.

Hon Wai selaku ADUN kawasan juga menasihatkan agar penduduk Air Itam memberi kerjasama di antara satu sama lain bagi menyelamatkan harta jiran sekiranya didapati jiran mereka tiada di rumah apabila banjir kilat.

1 of 3（檳城）檳州政府將透過“學校藝術教育”及“社區藝術教育”組成全方位藝術教育，培養人民的藝術內涵，並透過接觸體驗不同的藝術文化，學習開闊胸襟看待事物，達到“藝術城市”的理想。

檳州城市及鄉村規劃、房屋及藝術委員會主席黃漢偉透露說，州政府除了要在硬體設備上把檳州打造成國際大都市外，也希望實現“藝術檳城”的理想，讓藝術與人民的生活緊密結合。

他前晚“12名華樂演奏家音樂會”主持開幕時說，在喬治市入遺後，他希望藝術能融入檳州的自然景觀、歷史記憶、建築和公共藝術中，營造出有藝術氣息的市容，落實生活即藝術，讓人民可在忙碌的生活中紓解壓力，並體會藝術。

從幼稚園開始接觸藝術

他說，各級學校應該積極推動藝術教育，並引入藝術團體，讓孩子從幼稚園開始接觸傳統、西方音樂及美術展。他也希望所有18歲以下的孩子都能會一門樂器，並成為音樂會及美術館的常客，以免被升學主義阻斷藝術教育。

此外，黃漢偉也鼓勵藝術文化團體走入社區，建立藝術教育體制，讓人民有更多管道學習藝術，推動民間自發推廣草根藝術文化活動。

張正仁：助辦活動
政府須推動民間藝術

檳州英才文化康樂中心主席張正仁吁請州政府從各個方面協助民間推動藝術活動。他也呼吁家長鼓勵孩子參與學習華樂，讓孩子在各方面學習獲得平衡之餘，也協助華樂的發展。

他說，這項具有國際演奏水準的音樂會共邀請了12名來自中國、香港、台灣、新加坡及大馬的專樂華樂演奏家演出，並由30名來自州內6所中學的學生樂手組成演出陣容。

這場音樂會是由州政府主催，檳城中藝華樂中心主辦，並獲得檳州英才文化康樂中心協辦。

演奏陣容包括新加坡華樂團樂團首席李寶順、二胡副首席朱霖、瞿峰、陳英傑、周經豪、王怡人、姚碧清等，所帶來的演奏曲目包括笙獨奏晉調、三弦獨奏長門怨、18板、笛子獨奏羅馬尼亞樂曲雲雀、陽關三疊（賴亞來演奏）、二胡獨奏、塤獨奏及意大利名曲合奏等。大會也邀請了中國國家級一級指揮家瞿春泉也會應邀到來指揮樂手。

（檳城）制度化教育撥款為鍾靈中學校友議員製造回饋母校機會，黃漢偉、郭庭愷和沈志勤3名州議員週二（6月9日）聯袂訪問母校。

鍾靈所在地阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉是1990年高中畢業同學，他這次回返母校是為了審核母校的州政府教育撥款申請書。

郭庭愷為1991年高中畢業鍾靈生，沈志勤於1994年畢業，他倆並非當地人民代議士，只是陪同學兄黃漢偉一起回返母校，以便集思廣益為母校作出貢獻。

鍾靈的廁所年久失修漏水，他們在校長蔡耀祖帶領下，視察廁所來到禮堂右翼三樓一間課室。大家談起，才知道黃漢偉和沈耀勤，都曾在高中一時在這間課室上課。

現場採訪新聞的3男1女記者，全部男記者都是鍾靈校友。大家一起話舊，倒像是校友回校聚會。

上下課時間嚴重塞車
黃漢偉：將要求警方維持秩序

黃漢偉說，民聯人民代議士到學校審核教育撥款，也順便協助各校解決財務需要之外的其他問題。

鍾靈面對嚴重的交通問題，目前上午班的問題基本上有所改善，不過下午班學生的家長並未很好的配合學校，把車子駛入校園載送孩子，以致造成嚴重的交通阻塞。

黃漢偉說，他們會聯絡甘榜峇魯警察局，要求警方於上下課時間前來維持交通秩序。

另外，他們也會協助鍾靈解決學生流連在學校附近網吧的問題。

以最快行動解決問題

黃漢偉說，民聯政府議員到學校審核教育撥款，也以最快速的行動解決學校面對的問題。

他於5月28日到此校審核教育撥款時，得知校門前溝渠阻塞，在他的協助下，當局在1週之內迅速展開修建溝渠工程。

僑南學校後
弄浪河岸築防崩牆

天德園僑南學校亦在黃漢偉的協助下，學校後面的弄浪河岸築起了防崩牆。

黃漢偉是於5月29日來到僑南審核教育撥款，校方告知此校面對弄浪河岸崩塌，校園受土蝕威脅的問題。

SJK (T) Rajaji, Air Itam - exciting start to semester

As reported in The Star.

Exciting start to semester
By ANN TAN


THE 110 pupils of SJK (T) Rajaji are enjoying a nicer study atmosphere at the Rifle Range community hall. They recently moved there to make way for their school’s renovation.

Pupils, parents and headmaster N. K. Chandrasegaran were spotted removing their wooden tables, chairs and learning materials from the dilapidated school in Air Itam with the help of the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) workers under the supervision of the state Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai.


Making way for renovation: Pupils removing learning materials and chairs from the school.

Chandrasegaran said the pupils would be studying in the community hall for three months while the Public Works Department (JKR) begin the renovation work.

“The ceiling is on the verge of collapsing. The ceiling fans and fluorescent lights could crash down at any moment,” he said on the school’s condition.

Wooden partitions separate the six classrooms and Chandrasegaran said the ceiling would also leak whenever it rains.


New classroom: An MPPP employee helping to arrange the tables and chairs at the Rifle Range community hall.

Parent M. Murugiah said he felt relief that his 12-year-old son M. Areevinkuamar would no longer study in a dangerous classroom.

“Once, the ceiling of one of the classrooms crashed down when they turned on the ceiling fan.

“Every day, I pray my son comes home safe from school,” the 41-year-old personal driver said.


Jeevanath: We're glad our school will be given a new lease of life.

Pupils G. Jeevanath and S. Gejentraj, both 11, were equally excited to start their new semester in the community hall.

“It will be a totally different experience and we’re glad that our 65-year-old school will finally be given a new lease of life when the renovations are completed,’’ Jeevanath said.

Wong said the state government had earlier come under fire from the Opposition when the latter questioned the motive of the state in allocating funds for only government-aided schools.

“The sad state of SJK (T) Rajaji, for instance, says it all.

“Even most of the tables and chairs used are second-hand. They were handed down from the better equipped, national (type) schools,” he said.

“The (state) Education Depart-ment earlier suggested that the teachers and students move into SJK (T) Ramakrishna in Scotland Road.

“However, the parents felt that it would be inconvenient as most of the pupils are living in Air Itam and it would be quite a distance for those who either walk or cycle to school,” he said.

Wong said the parents sought his help to use the community hall and to waive its rental, to which he agreed.

“As a long-term plan, I will be working with Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy who is in charge of the education portfolio to find a permanent site in Air Itam for the school,’’ he said.

SJK (T) Rajaji, Air Itam

While participate in the debate at the Penang State Assembly in year 2008, I crossed sword with ADUN Sungai Dua on the financial allocation for Chinese and Tamil schools. I have invited YB Jasmin to visit SJK(T) Rajaji and SJK(T) Azad to understand how pathetic the conditions of these schools as compare to the national schools.

The State Government has allocated RM30K to SJK(T) Rajaji in March 2009. I am delighted to note that the Federal JKR will allocate RM150K in June 2009 to make a facelift to the roof and also the main structure.

The school authority came to see me and I have arranged the students to be relocated to Rifle Range Community Hall for two months while the renovation takes part.

As ADUN Air Itam, this is my little contribution to the development of mother tongue education in the community.

黃漢偉：淡小宗教學校已獲撥款‧檳華委會將視察33華小
2009-05-25 11:12

（檳城）檳州政府華教事務協調委員會委員黃漢偉說，在檳州政府制度化撥款給華文學校、淡小、教會及宗教學校政策下，該委員會下週開始，前往東北縣33H斤提出申請撥款的華小視察。

他說，檳州政府已陸續撥款給淡小及宗教等學校，目前就只剩下華小。

他說，他將與東北縣的州議員、華教事務協調委員會委員，花3週拜訪這些學校。

瞭解學校申請撥款原因

“實地視察目的是瞭解有關學校申請撥款的原因，比例缺乏些甚麼設施等，以便給予他們幫助。”

他說，在實地視察這些學校後，就會把這些學校面對的問題寫成報告。

他週日（5月24日）出席在玫瑰園舉行的慈愛贈醫施藥隊義診推介禮時，這麼說。

拉查基淡小獲撥3萬

他指出，在其選區內位於Jalan Satu附近的拉查基淡小（Rajaji），木板校舍簡陋、破損，早前在州政府制度化撥款政策下，獲得州政府撥款3萬令吉，以提昇他們的設施。

“州政府制度化撥款政策起了拋磚引玉效用，有關淡小將於6月杪，獲得中央政府撥款大約15萬令吉，以維修破損的校舍。”

他希望州政府制度化撥款政策能起拋磚引玉的效用，帶動中央政府繼續撥款協助更多華小、淡小等學校。

今天黄汉伟除了前往上述学校进行审核工作之外, 最重要的是他前往RAJAJI淡小了解情况. Rajaji淡小在去年经由黄汉伟在槟州州议员辩论州政府2009年财政预算案中宣称极需要帮助的一所淡小之后, 它就得到的州政府的关注, 并在今年3月得到州政府拨款三万. 在今年5月初学校收到工程部来信说将会拨款15万令吉给予该校进行维修工程, 而该校维修工程也将在6月开始进行.

Rajaji淡小一共拥有110名学生就读, 从6月12日期, Rajaji淡小在黄汉伟的安排下将暂时迁往打枪埔组屋民众礼堂长达3个月, 以便进行维修工作. 而槟岛市政局将协助该校搬迁工作.
