（檳城）檳州藝術委員會主席黃漢偉建議把中路57號檳州博物館與畫廊的未來裝修工程，納入第十大馬計劃。

他說，由於涉及龐大的裝修費用，他將致函中央政府，要求列入下一個大馬計劃。

黃漢偉週二（6月23日）為“國際藝術展：藝術、和平及國際村──反對暴力”主持開幕禮後，這麼說。

此外，黃漢偉表示將邀請馬來西亞繪測師協會檳州分會，為建築設計和空間運用提供意見，以便把原本是婦產科中心的中路57號建築物，打造為一間出色的文物及藝術中心。

黃漢偉上週正式上任檳州博物館管理委員會主席。

藝術家通過作品紀錄社會變化

這項展出展示了一系列巴勒斯坦、汶萊、印尼和大馬畫家的傑作。

黃漢偉說，這場藝術展的作品，帶出追求自由、公正及和平的訊息。

主辦單位RA美術藝廊負責人拉惹阿末說，世界上每一個角落發生的事情，都與其他地方有所關聯，而藝術家、畫家和作家就通過他們的作品，紀錄及解釋周邊社會發生的變化。

A yearning for peace
By JEREMY TAN


AN international art exhibition featuring paintings depicting the plight of Palestinians and their hope for peace and non-violence is currently being held at the Penang State Art Gallery until Tuesday.

Themed ‘Art, Peace and the Global Village - Against Violence’, the exhibition is a collaborative effort between the gallery and R A Fine Arts - The Gallery.

It encompasses the works of around 30 local and foreign artists from Palestine, Bosnia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore.


Tongue in cheek: 'Portrait of a Prime Minister as a Decorated Terrorist' by local artist Rahmat Haron.

Gallery curator Haryany Mohamad said the exhibition conveyed the artists’ longing for peace and sensitivity among humankind and he hoped the paintings would open the minds of viewers towards the plight of the Palestinian people.

State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai, who launched the exhibition, commended everyone involved for highlighting the plight of the Palestinians.

“The message of this exhibition is the need for freedom, justice and peace in this world. We live in a global village. It is in our common interest to have a basic standard of human rights,” Wong said.

The gallery is open daily from 9am to 5pm.

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.
