重鋪甘榜比桑出入口 黃漢偉否認大選到才鋪路

■豆腐與魚丸類的小販，高興有了固定檔口及乾淨新環境。

（檳城17日訊）非為大選才來鋪路，阿依淡州議員黃漢偉表示，只要居民反映道路有破洞，將會協助修補。
他指出，很多人都認為只有大選來臨時，政府才會鋪路，不過他常年都在處理這工作。
他舉例，從阿依淡警察局、巴剎至大伯公三角環路，在他通知工程局後，已經在去年獲得修補。
黃漢偉週五巡視剛鋪好通往甘榜比桑的道路，他說，他動用了1萬5000令吉鋪好這條長達150公尺的出入口要道。
他近期將批准撥款1萬2000令吉，以修補殘舊不堪的安樂村道路。

阿依淡巴剎次期工程完工

另一方面，黃漢偉也視察阿依淡巴剎提升工程的進度，他表示，涉及18個豆腐與魚丸類檔口的第二期工程已經完工。
他指出，這些檔口有各自的水龍頭、牆磚及統一的固定檔口。
他感謝小販在施工期間與承包商合作，能夠與其他販商共享空間，把影響降至最低。他說，巴剎內被拆除的廁所，將以檳島市政局的流動廁所暫代，新建的廁所也近完工。
耗費87萬令吉的提升工程分4階段進行，預計全部工程需至年杪才完成。黃漢偉也趁機向魚販瞭解，獲知貿消局官員曾來突擊，不過發現阿依淡巴剎的魚蝦價格沒有上漲。
他認為，貿消部在根源上處理不好罷海事件，卻以反暴利及價格控制法令來騷擾巴剎魚販，本末倒置的舉措很不應該

2道路擴建 亞依淡有望擺脫塞車

　（檳城1日訊）亞依淡區長期以來面對交通擁擠問題，有望在進行兩項道路擴建工程后，獲得舒緩。

　為舒緩交通，天德園大道雙車道將擴建至3車道；峇都蘭章巷也會加寬5至8尺。

　亞依淡區州議員黃漢偉說，天德園大道約800公尺長路段將擴建成3車道。

　他今早巡視天德園大道及峇都蘭章巷擴建工程時，這麼說。

　他指出，這項擴建工程是由四季豪園公寓及四季新天地商場的發展商佳景集團負責，該公寓及商場就坐落于天德園大道旁。

　佳景集團工程總經理林明豪說，公寓有800個單位，公寓及商場將在年尾落成，屆時該處車流量會增加，因此必須擴建道路應付車流。

修改圖測避開墳墓

　“擴建工程是州政府當時允許發展商，興建公寓及商場的條件。”

　另一方面，黃漢偉說，原本擴建圖測波及路旁的墳墓，不過在修改圖測后已避開墳墓。

　他說，峇都蘭章巷在繁忙時段交通流量高，附近4所學校上下學時都會導致交通阻塞。

　他說，該道路擴建后，從州回教堂路路徑峇都蘭章巷，左轉駛入天德園大道的車輛不必停車，有足夠空間可以直接左轉。

　檳島市政局工程師拉詹德蘭說，該擴建工程由市局負責，耗資30萬令吉，預計在8月完成，擴建路段共150公尺。

　他也說，工程會保留路旁的人行道，方便行人使用。

RM300,000 council project to widen Lorong Batu Lanchang and Lebuhraya Thean Teik

TWO major trunk roads will now be upgraded at a cost of RM300,000 by the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) to make it easier for residents in Air Itam to commute in and out of the locality.

The roads are Lorong Batu Lanchang and Lebuhraya Thean Teik, two major roads which link one of the island’s most densely populated centres to the rest of Penang.

According to the MPPP senior traffic engineer A. Rajendran, a routine five-minute journey from the Batu Gantong crematorium to Air Itam would take up to 45 minutes during rush hours because the two roads are simply too congested.

The main problem for Air Itam is that the roads leading to the township are narrow and bogged down by an increasing load of vehicles, he said.

It is made worse by the presence of several acclaimed schools on the same roads.

Both Lorong Batu Lanchang and Lebuhraya Thean Teik are two-lane roads with 2.9m in width for each lane, 0.35m less than its standard size.

Lorong Batu Lanchang will be widened and a triangle island will be built at the T-junction in front of SM Teknik Batu Lanchang while walkways will also be built to ensure the safety of pedestrians who are mostly students.

Rajendran said the upgrading was based on a MPPP study of the roads two years ago.

State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai, who has been caught in the congestion many a time when he commuted to work, said the state government would try to ease the bottleneck there, assuring that the solution was aimed at helping the residents.

The upgrading and widening of the roads will cost RM300,000 and estimated to finish by August, Rejendran said.

Belleview Group general manager Lim Beng Hoe, who was also present, said his company, now developing the Old Season housing project at the Lebuhraya Thean Teik, would also widen the road.

Public flats repossessed
By CHRISTINA CHIN

THE Penang Government has repossessed 154 flat units in eight public housing projects since last year after their tenants breached the tenancy’s terms and conditions.

They included six units at the Taman Manggis project on Lorong Selamat which were repossessed yesterday because their tenants owed rental arrears of between RM1,240 and RM3,968.
Breaking in: A contract worker breaking the lock of a unit at the Taman Manggis flats in George Town.

State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai warned that the state would continue to repossess units occupied by errant tenants.

He said the state housing department was monitoring the pro- jects vigilantly to check if tenants breached the tenancy agreement.

“Efforts are ongoing but we haven’t been highlighting them in the media. Now we want the tenants to know that we are se- rious and will repossess the units if they leave them unoccupied, sublet them or use them as storerooms.

“These flats are for the underprivileged earning RM1,500 and below monthly. We want to make sure that only those eligible get to rent them,” Wong said.

He said these public housing projects were also meant to house squatters affected by the state government’s relocation programme.

He said officers from the state housing department and welfare department were in the process of interviewing tenants for the repossessed lots.

“We have to evaluate the condition of the repossessed units and do the necessary repairs before renting them out again,” Wong told reporters during the operation to repossess the units at Taman Manggis.

The monthly rental for the Taman Manggis flats is RM124.

黃漢偉：未繳租金或空置單位‧組屋租戶違例破門取締

（檳城）檳州房屋、城市及鄉村規劃委員會主席黃漢偉說，州政府將採取強硬的破門行動，對付未按期繳交租金及空置已久的政府組屋租戶，以示對其他租戶的公平。

被拖欠1700萬租金

他說，檳州政府在州內共建8個出租的組屋區，每單位出租100至124令吉，至今被租戶拖欠累積數額高1千700萬令吉，甚至一些拖欠多年租金的租戶已搬出，使有關單位空置已久，而須重新整頓，讓其他符合資格的居民居住。

黃漢偉昨日（5月31日）率領執行官員，赴平安巷政府組屋對6戶多年未交租金及空置的租戶採取破門的強硬行動後，在新聞發佈會發表上述談話。

違例租戶漠視通知書

他說，據統計，去年至今年5月間，政府當局發現124間的政府組屋單位，未交租金及空置已久，去年為92間，而且，政府當局也發出有關的通知書，但是卻未獲租戶的反應，而迫使政府當局採取強硬的行動。

他指出，其中平安巷政府組屋有320間的單位，共有6間類似的單位，多年未交租金，拖欠租金從1千240令吉至3千968令吉且空置著。

他說，執政官員採取強硬的破門行動，發現其中5單位的租戶已經搬遷，只有1單位尚有居民。他表示，州政府將收回上述未交租金及空置的組屋，以便重新裝修後出租給符合資格的租戶。
