黄汉伟：与升旗山脚居民商量对策 解决游客涌入交通问题
二零一二年一月一日 下午五时四十六分
（槟城1日讯）槟州城乡策划、房屋及艺术行政议员黄汉伟披露，他刚刚联同升旗山机构一行人与升旗山脚居民开会，聆听他们针对大批游客近期涌入造成当地交通阻塞的投诉。
黄汉伟也是亚依淡区州议员兼升旗山机构董事。他称，虽然欢迎游客到来，但不希望就此影响当地居民的生活。为此，该机构安排与当地居民会面，聆听他们的心声和看法，以寻求解决方案。
他周六受邀为“阳光年货购物嘉年华－龙腾瑞气”主持开幕礼上致词时表示，在圣诞节当天就吸引了6000名游客上升旗山游玩；而11月及12月的周末则约有4000名游客。
系列节目展现文化
他说，2011年在槟州政府的领导下，吸引了大批游客的到来，尤其近两个月来，更有大量外坡及外国游客争相涌入槟城，为槟城带来无限商机，对州内的餐饮、酒店、零售业等带来一定的效应，但也要正视大量车子涌入而造成市区及旅游景点一带交通阻塞的问题。
阳光百货超级市场总经理余锦明说，阳光百货超市集团今年推出“年货购物嘉年华”，带有“龙”年寓意的年货产品，吸引消费者的注意和购买欲。至于装饰方面，以龙为主题“龙腾瑞气”增强点缀购物环境。
他称，配合“年货购物嘉年华”，也备有一系列节目及竞赛来展现中华文化与艺术，包括：阳光东方美后2012、舞龙及舞狮表演、儿童中华传统服装比赛、团圆佳肴烹饪比赛、壬辰龙年挥春比赛、迎接壬辰龙年宿将华语歌唱比赛等。
“此外，为酬谢顾客的支持与惠顾，阳光特别主办‘发财龙红包大派送竞赛’，备有价值共3万3000令吉红包送给顾客。巨奖一份值8888令吉红包。此竞赛活动至2012年2月12日止。”
对联赠嘉宾
仪式上，余锦明赠送对联予开幕人黄汉伟，由阳光发林购物广场高级经理黄世强，以及阳光百货超级市场广告及促销经理吕淑萍陪同。较后，黄汉伟颁奖予挥春比赛得奖者，评判老师拿督骆三民及庄育文陪同。

Celebrating an ancient art
TRUE to the adage ‘practice makes perfect’, student Lok Jun Ting has been practising Chinese calligraphy under his father’s guidance every day without fail for the past nine years.
His effort and hard work paid off when he won the second prize in the Chinese calligraphy competition (secondary school category) organised by Sunshine Wholesale Mart Sdn Bhd in Penang.
The 17-year-old student of SMJK Heng Ee said his father made sure that he practised his calligraphy every day.
“My brother and I have to write on three sheets of paper a day to train our writing and our efforts have now paid off,” he said.
His brother Jun Wei, 12, from SRJK (C) Sum Sun won the first prize in the competition’s primary school category.
Jun Ting said Jun Wei had been receiving guidance from their father Peng San, 48, since he was six.
“Our father, who works as a factory production operator, always reminds us not to forget our culture, especially Chinese calligraphy,” he said, adding that his father also taught calligraphy on Sunday.
Chung Ling High School student Ng Siang Yew, 17, who won first prize in the secondary school category, said that to be good in calligraphy, one must have keen interest.
“Besides that, constant practice also makes perfect,” he said after the prize-giving ceremony at the Sunshine Farlim Shopping Mall recently.
The mall also launched its Chinese New Year theme and concept — ‘Prosperous Lunar New Year’ — at the event.
Jit Sin Independent High School student Chang Di, 16, came in third in the secondary school category.
SRJK (C) Kwang Hwa pupil Tan Peng Yin, 10, who won the second prize in the primary school category, said this was her second time participating in the competition.
Her school mate Chung Qi Qian, 12, won the third prize in the category.
Sunshine Wholesale Mart Sdn Bhd general manager Yee Kam Ming said the younger generation Chinese were showing more interest in Chinese calligraphy.
“During our previous competition last February, we had participants from different races and religion taking part in the event.
“It brings unity and closeness among our participants besides keeping the tradition alive,” he said.
For the secondary school category, the first prize winner walked away with a RM200 shopping voucher, while the second prize winner won a RM150 shopping voucher and the third prize winner received a RM100 shopping voucher.
They also went home with a hamper and trophy each.
The primary school category saw the first prize winner walking away with a RM150 vou-cher, second prize winner a RM100 voucher and the third prize winner a RM80 voucher, besides a hamper and trophy each.
Twenty consolation prize winners in both categories received a RM30 shopping voucher and a trophy each.
Also present was Penang Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai.
