Team up to plant more trees, reps urged
By K. KASTURI DEWI
PENANG assemblymen should work with the local business community to plant more trees in their constituencies, state Landscape Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said.
He said they could get local businessmen to finance the purchase of tree saplings.
“This is one way of encouraging the local community to plant more trees in their neighbourhood,” Wong said after planting 15 Tecoma tree saplings at an open space behind the Sunshine Farlim Hypermarket in Kampung Pisang, Air Itam yesterday.
Wong, who is also state Housing and Town and Country Planning Committee chairman and Air Itam assemblyman, said the activity was a joint effort between his service centre and the Penang Municipal Council in conjunction with World Earth Day on April 22.
He also said the state Forestry Department planted some 25,000 tree saplings of various species in the first three months of the year.
Last year, the department planted 54,126 trees all over Penang, he added.
黄汉伟：槟去年植树逾5万棵 今年目标7万5千棵
二零零九年四月十七日 晚上十一时五十六分
（槟城17日讯）槟州美化委员会主席兼亚依淡区州议员黄汉伟指出，去年槟州已经成功种植了逾5万棵树，到了今年3月为止，在第一季的报告中显示种植了2万5千棵，不过该会在今年内会继续朝向目标中的7万5千棵前进。
他说，部份植树计划在森林局的努力下，已经成功在红树林植树，不过相信只要在槟威市政局和各政府机关的配合下，未来将有更多的植树计划在州内落实。
今天共有15棵属于（Tabebuia Rosea）的大马樱花种植在甘榜比桑的草场上，必须等待5年后才会开花，这只是首个阶段而已，将来不排除在这邻近一带种植更多大马樱花，将此处发展成为一个休闲地区。
黄汉伟及槟州美化委员会委员郑雨周出席，配合“地球日”在甘榜比桑种植“大马樱花”暨介绍乡村暨治安发展委员会主席的活动上，如是指出。
亚依淡区乡委会集合三大民族
黄汉伟向媒体引荐亚依淡区三个乡委会主席时阐明，亚依淡区是属于非常特殊的地区，无论是从基层如乡委会到国州议员都是集合三大民族并且充满着多元色彩。
他说，甘榜马来油（Kampung Melayu）乡委会主席是由巫裔同胞哈芝曼沙也是回教婚姻副注册官出任，甘榜比桑是谢宝成也是该区警卫队官员，而天德园则由政府公务员拉马林甘出任。
“这种情况是比较罕见和特殊的。”
