The celebration was started in year 1994 and YB Wong Hon Wai has been appointed as advisor by the Penang State Government to oversee this celebration from 2009 to 2012. YB Wong said there are still room for improvement for this celebration although it has received overwhelming support from the general public. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in Oriental Press.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;檳街頭文化廟會暫不申遺&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城30日訊）檳城街頭文化廟會「還年輕」，暫未準備向國家文化遺產提出申請。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在馬紮根已久的檳城舞大旗鼓及新山古廟神遊活動，在上週六被宣佈列為國家文化遺產，而在檳城古蹟區越辦越成功的文化廟會也建立口碑，每年吸引數以萬計的國內外遊客到訪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對此，檳州文化委員會主席黃漢偉今出席活動被詢及文化廟會是否也打算提出申請時說，當局暫無此打算。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009年至今，黃漢偉也是檳城街頭文化廟會一連4屆的大會主席。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，廟會從1994年開始舉辦，迄今10多屆，雖然來自民間稱讚有加，並把廟會視為文化品牌，但他認為，廟會將來還有進步空間。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，廟會未來可塑性還很大，假以時日是有望成為文化遺產的，不過現階段還言之過早。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2012-01-20 18:53&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ■極樂寺腳下的停車場已鋪好柏油，新春期間暫時開放，可容納150輛車子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 of 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城20日訊）前陣子鬧得沸騰的阿依淡極樂寺停車場風波，總算排除困難，能夠在這個農曆春節期間暫時開放，為避免塞車掃興，另外4個新舊停車場也一併讓民眾停放車子，以應付農曆十二月廿八日至年初五高峰期的數以千計的旅客潮。&lt;br /&gt;極樂寺方丈拿督斯里日恆法師透露，包含前醉林居、前西湖園及寺內原有的停車場等，一共可容納700輛轎車及12輛大型巴士。&lt;br /&gt;阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉指出，檳島市政局於2年前批准極樂寺購地申請，在其山腳下一片地段充作停車場用途，兩週前已鋪上柏油，加上周邊停車場，明顯比去年的500個停車位還要多。&lt;br /&gt;他是於週五偕同助理一行人拜訪阿依淡街坊時如是表示，較後還派發1000個紅包封和賀卡、25箱柑及150件“綠意檳城”紅色圍裙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉派紅包封圍裙&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他披露，一週前已召集極樂寺、升旗山機構、警方與檳島市政局代表召開會議作出匯報，要求各方給予配合，以便商討更妥善的交通方案，舒緩當地車流量。此外，亦安排自願警衛在從巴剎通往極樂寺的路程指引交通秩序。&lt;br /&gt;他指出，本身也是升旗山機構董事，去年12月杪跟居民對話，了解所面對的佳節困擾，所以要求該機構委派專員維持交通，同時民眾也可把車子停放在天公壇停車場，共有86個車位。&lt;br /&gt;“前往阿依淡的道路也加寬了，如州回教堂路擴充多一條車道都將近竣工；已完成80%工程的天德園大道也會鋪柏油，新年期間重新開放給道路使用者，相信今年不會遇到交通阻塞。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;阿依淡擁4景點 遊客必遊處&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉指出，阿依淡是國內外遊客及檳城人必到之處，因為擁有重要的4個景點，無論春節前後，菜市場都是個“不夜城”，由於明晚和後天（21日及22日）大家都要做最後衝刺的準備，相信人潮更洶湧，會塞到寸步難行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“隨著極樂寺亮燈後，從初一到正月廿八(2月19日)，遊客特別喜歡前來觀光拍照。”&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉說，自升旗山第3代纜車上路，今年是迎接首個春節，根據統計顯示，在去年聖誕節時期，每天超過6000人遊覽升旗山。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，升旗山腳下的檳榔嶼抗日殉難同胞紀念碑經過翻新後，增加不少旅遊元素，這主要4個因素都是造成阿依淡成為各地遊客的吸引賣點。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2012-01-07 16:11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城）檳州政府於去年首設的檳州非回教宗教事務委員會，繼會見全國五大宗教理事會之後，昨日（6日）也首次跟該理事會檳州分會成員舉行對話，雙方達致4項協議。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這4項協議分別是州政府將撥出常年撥款5萬令吉給五大宗教理事會檳州分會、制度化撥款給學校的計劃擴大至本遮普（Punjabi）學校、州政府將首辦衛塞節門戶開放，以及跟興都信託基金會連同興都教徒安排一個適合的濱海地點，作為最後葬禮儀式用途，即讓興都教徒可把鮮花及白米撒入海中。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上述會議由檳州首席部長林冠英主持，出席者包括了檳州第二副首長拉瑪沙米、檳州行政議員彭文寶、黃漢偉、五大宗教理事會檳州分會主席安東尼主教、各宗教組織代表如佛總林展鵬、錫克教組織蘇興達巴爾星、興都教組織巴亞班、道教總會檳州分會主席黃國創以及其他成員等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英：不一定每年一次&lt;br /&gt;有需要就召開會議&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英說，州政府首設檳州非回教宗教事務委員會，主要是考慮到檳州多數為非回教徒，因此應有此部門來關注這些事務，同時促進各宗教和諧以及建立文明對話。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，昨日舉行的是一項常年會議，但不一定是每年一次，只要有需要，便會召開會議。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;安東尼則說，今次的會面建立了良好的對話環境，他認為這種對話方式應繼續下去。（星洲日報／大北馬）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2012-01-04 18:12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城4日訊）檳行政議員財產料下週公佈。據悉，各行政議員的財產申報都非常詳盡，但公開予公眾的資料不會是申報的全內容。針對308前的資產，行政議員可在保護其他人隱私下作適度公開，預料最後的公開內容與雪蘭莪州大同小異。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首長林冠英去年12月12日宣佈，將於一個月內公佈檳州行政議員財產後，州政府也火速處理申報工作。據悉，各行政議員已完成申報，並上呈首長。是次申報表格，是往年各行政議員申報的“升級版”，資料要求更詳盡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;申報資料較往年詳盡&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;過往，州政府使用的填報表格是以中央政府的公職人員財產申報表格為藍本，內容簡單粗糙。州政府為提高透明度，便依據有關藍本進行提升與修整。有行政議員透露，新版內容中要求申報的資料，比原來版本詳盡、繁雜，但他們不愿告知詳情。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論如何，檳房屋委員會主席黃漢偉認為，是次申報確比以往深入，甚至連所擁有土地的“洛號碼”（Lot number）都需填上，非常仔細。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他週三接受《光明日報》訪問時指出，申報資料雖詳盡，但開放予公眾的資料，應是議員收入、車貸、產業融資貸款（房屋、土地及其他等）、供期和股票等。財產資料以308前後界分，以厘清議員當官前後的“身家”，表明不存在利益苟且，一切依法行事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我覺得公佈議員財產，不是滿足公眾對政治人物的財務狀況的好奇。相反，是要展示清清白白做官、不將人民錢財放進自己口袋的作法，我們是用行動證明一切。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，會將資產做308前後對比，是因部份議員在308前便有家庭或個人事業。有關資產可能是家族聯名、合資，屬共同擁有業務，不分開可能會引起公眾混淆，誤認為當議員“真有好康頭”，是不公平的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;資料公佈與雪州雷同&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，所以公佈的資料不會是填報的全部，如無意外將與雪州大同小異。預料，308後的議員收入、購入產業和擁有的資產，會是公開的重點，但一切仍需首長決定。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出，308前都屬議員擔任公職前的收入和資產，各議員可在保護屬家族事業、前合伙人或聯名&lt;br /&gt;者的隱私與人身安全下，申報後選擇以不影響與破壞其他人隱私方式，做適度的公開。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，州政府跨出重重障礙，選擇公佈財產已將從政者應具備的清廉與道德，推到另一個高度。人民應更注重議員308後的收入與財產情況，了解民聯議員將“清清白白當官”，落實在擔任公職上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;彭文寶：公佈財產 糾正無官不貪偏見&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“無官不貪”是人民的偏見與迷思，以為一登龍門便能升官發財。檳衛生、福利及愛心社會委員會主席彭文寶矢言州政府公佈議員財產，就是要糾正偏見，至於公佈多少申報資料，交首長定奪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我們都依足表格要求，將個人財產、名下擁有的車子產業甚至股票，都詳細報上，一切已在首長手中。只是，有多少內容被公開，就由首長決定。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，個人了解，首長將所有資料進行核對，以確保所呈資產資料都屬正確與真實。人民應在財產資料公佈後，仔細分辨308前後的財產擁有，是有區別的，如果一名議員沒在“有權”後以權謀私，才是好官。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“首長已準備公佈了，那國陣呢?人民應該看一看，不是人人做官都要‘吃錢’，國陣部長級們也應一起公佈。”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

&lt;br /&gt;Almost finished: Work on the repainting of Kampung Melayu flats' Block B in Air Itam is 70% completed. &lt;br /&gt;THE repainting of Kampung Melayu flats’ Block B in Air Itam, Penang, is expected to be completed in a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said the repainting was already 70% completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Much of the exterior has already been repainted, and work on the interior is expected to begin soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The 15-storey flats’ block al-ready looks much better than before,” he told reporters after visiting the flats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flats now spot white, beige, red, dark green and light grey colours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The repainting work had started on Oct 24.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kampung Melayu Community Development and Security Committee (JKKK) deputy chairman Arifin Abidin said he had received positive comments from the residents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They liked the bright colours which enliven the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Some even joked that the flats look like an army barrack due to the combination of colours,” said the retired civil servant, who had lived in the block for more than 30 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state government is footing 80% of the RM270,000 repainting cost while the rest comes from public donations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kampung Melayu flats consist of Block A and Block B that were built in the early and late 1970s respectively. Both blocks have about 960 units.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blocks had undergone RM1.13mil rewiring works along the corridors which were completed in June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, Wong, who is also Air Itam assemblyman, distributed schooling aid to 51 needy children from various primary schools in Air Itam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of them received a bag, a set of school uniform, stationery items and a shopping voucher worth about RM200 in total, sponsored by the Penang Zakat Ma-nage­­­­ment Centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The distribution was held at the Kampung Melayu JKKK community service centre on Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Single mother Shamsiah Othman, 43, said the contribution would greatly lessen her financial burden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said the timing was just right as the new school term would reopen tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The restaurant helper accompanied her daughter Nur Athirah Abdul Halim, 11, to receive the contribution.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Counter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/details.php?page=50849&amp;print_page=http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com" title="http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com Stats" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Data&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.which-credit-card.com.au" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.counterdata.com/count.php?page=50849&amp;style=invisible&amp;nbdigits=&amp;reloads=1" alt="credit cards" border="0" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.which-credit-card.com.au" title="credit cards" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;credit cards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration : none;"&gt; Counter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com --&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7496704-1688763609397763487?l=honwai_wong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com/feeds/1688763609397763487/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7496704&amp;postID=1688763609397763487' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7496704/posts/default/1688763609397763487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7496704/posts/default/1688763609397763487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-look-for-new-year-repainting-at.html' title='New look for the New Year - Repainting at Kampung Melayu'/><author><name>hwwong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00407826857621447416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5YzTwGSmTWE/TF_0m6ksipI/AAAAAAAAByk/XhiRnwuLMVs/S220/hwwong.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HColXye9mV0/TwmnKQc1nmI/AAAAAAAADCo/X9jfoFx6Bw4/s72-c/kpgmelayu3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496704.post-9135708672371844719</id><published>2012-01-01T20:11:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T20:18:04.761+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Press Interview on declining number of students in Chinese primary school in Balik Pulau</title><content type='html'>Special Press Interview as reported in Kwong Wah Yit Pao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penang State EXCO YB Wong Hon Wai said there are currently about 3000 unit of houses been built since 2008 in Balik Pulau and are now in different stages of construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will give a boost to the Chinese primary school in Balik Pulau and the effect can be seen in the next 5 to 10 years. He cited the example of a housing project next to Tao Tung Primary School at Balik Betong. Although the OC has been approved, but it will still take a while for the purchasers to move in and made the necessary arrangement for their kids to transfer to the school. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YB Wong cited the declining birth rate among the Chinese community is the main reason for the small numbers of intake in Chinese school in Balik Pulau.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;浮罗山背新生逐年少&lt;br /&gt;二零一二年一月一日 下午五时五十一分&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;报道：陈燕妮&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（槟岛西南区1日讯）缺乏就业机会，年轻人口外流以及华裔生育率降低，浮罗山背微型华小新生人数逐年下降，3所学校的明年度一年级新生不超过10人，另外3所的人数也只是保持在10余人！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据了解，人数少于10人的新生为浮罗勿洞华小、双溪槟榔港口育才小学及班台亚齐振华小学，至于新路头育华、文丁大同及双溪槟榔新民，也只有10余个新生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;浮罗山背共有8所华小，另两所崇德及圣心是属于A型华小。由于学生来源锐减，微型华小全校学生人数大致上未超过90人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;虽然说浮罗山背近年来屋业发展蓬勃，然而，年轻人口外流及华裔生育率降低已是不争的事实，使到新生人数逐年下滑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当然，位于偏远乡村的振华及浮罗勿洞华小，因为缺乏屋业发展及就业机会，无法留住年轻人，逐渐形成老人村。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据悉，大同华小的新生原本也只有7人，后经过董事部努力作家访，招新生以及教育局的严正看待，分区制度化调派新生，该校最终有12名新生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蔡天送：屋业无助人口回流&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;育才学校董事长蔡天送说，虽然已有许多屋业计划在浮罗山背展开，但仍无法促使人口回流，让微型华小摆脱新生短缺问题，因为许多购屋者纯粹是置业投资，有者则是准备在退休后才到浮罗养老。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由于浮罗山背近年来的屋价已被炒高，据他大略估计，大部分的购屋者都是外来投资者，大约只有30％的浮罗人在当地置产。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;该校明年大约只有7、8个新生，全校人数逾70人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;骆万泉：缺工作年轻人离乡&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;振华学校董事长骆万泉表示，当地缺乏工作机会，而且，也未有屋业计划，许多年轻人离乡背井到外发展，小学新生来源逐渐减少，纵使董事部再努力，也是徒然的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，该校明年只有8个一年级新生，另加3名转校生，全校学生人数53人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;叶松林：救救新民救救孩子&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新民学校董事长叶松林说，由于年轻人到外发展，只有小部分留守祖业，从事种植业，“老人村”已逐渐成形，因此他希望新搬来的学生家长踊跃将孩子送到该校求学，以确保微型华小的未来受到保障。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他希望家长能“救救新民，也能救救孩子”，确保新民的学生来源不受影响之余，也能因为家园靠近学校，方便家长照料孩子及管制他们的一举一动。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黄汉伟：发展成效至少需5年&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;槟州房屋城市及乡村规划及房屋事务委员会主席黄汉伟行政议员说，虽然一系列屋业计划如火如荼进行，不过，他相信要5至10年，才能看到发展计划所带来的成效。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“例如浮罗文丁大同学校旁的屋业计划，尚在等待购屋者陆续搬入。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据统计，浮罗山背已完工、兴建中或已批准的房屋单位共有2988个，店屋、办公室及3层楼商场单位为48个。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出，微型华小新生来源逐渐下降是一个趋势，毕竟华裔生育率降低以及家长选择学校的心态作祟。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“学生来源减少的趋势不只发生在浮罗山背，槟岛其他地区包括我的亚依淡选区也同样面对这个问题。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;浮罗山背6所微型华小的新生人数概况：&lt;br /&gt;浮罗勿洞华小：6人&lt;br /&gt;文丁大同：12人&lt;br /&gt;新路头育华：逾10人&lt;br /&gt;双溪槟榔新民：11人&lt;br /&gt;双溪槟榔港口育才：7、8人&lt;br /&gt;班台亚齐振华：8人&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Ini sekali juga menyangkal propaganda Barisan Nasional yang memutarbelitkan fakta dalam isu perumahan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;九路猴枣芭居民享优购权 中央花园中廉屋快入伙&lt;br /&gt;二零一一年十二月三十一日 晚上七时五十五分&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（槟城31日讯）峇都兰樟中央花园中廉价组屋入伙准证已呈交槟岛市政局审核，引颈长盼的购屋者料可在近期内获得入伙，受发展计划影响的大路后九路居民获购屋优先权，也实现居者有其屋的梦想！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;槟州城乡策划，房屋及艺术行政议员黄汉伟表示，中央花园组屋已经完成分配手续，之前要求发展商修改图测也已经在这个月获得市政局批准。目前发展商已经将入伙准证呈交予槟岛市政局审核，如果一切符合规格，居民预料可在近期内获得入伙准证。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黄汉伟：逾千人申请&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;无论如何，当被询及居民是否有望在春节之前入伙时，他说，必须以市政局审核手续是否能如期完成为准。他说，中央花园组屋只有195个单位，但申请者却有1200名，是认购量最高的中廉价组屋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;虽然中央花园优先给予大路后九路居民，不过一些大家庭只获得献议一个单位，所以他们还要争取第二个单位，导致中央花园组屋出现供不应求现象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出，槟岛还有许多中廉价屋及廉价屋单位等待申请，如五条路Sri Saujana还有超过100个单位、白云山花地园更有超过500个单位、浮罗山背有80多个廉价屋单位等待申请。另外，在峇六拜及新港一带将建500多个廉价屋单位，丹绒道光填土区也会增建中廉价屋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他呼吁人民申请这些地点的中廉价屋或廉价屋，以获得更高机会的房屋献议。他是于周六与峇都兰樟区州议员罗兴强巡视中央花园组屋后，对记者这么表示。出席者包括霹雳路社委会主席李建伦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;举横幅感谢民联争取&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大路后九路居民高举横幅，感激峇都兰樟区州议员罗兴强及民联政府为他们争取权益，才让他们有房屋居住。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;罗兴强：实现有屋梦&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;罗兴强指出，中央花园195单位中，其中40余单位是优先给猴枣芭居民居住，然后在挪出45单位给被逼迁的大路后九路木屋居民，其余约100单位才公开予日落洞一带居民购买。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;发展列车开到大路后九路时，发展商无意建造中廉价屋，只赔偿4万令吉予居民，导致居民非常失望。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;居民向他及首长林冠英投诉，并在民联政府积极争取下，发展商才答应赔偿7万令吉，但是他们认为不够购买房屋，所以再次为他们争取中央花园房屋单位购屋优先权让给他们。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50单位共逾百家庭&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当初大路后九路有50单位，共有100多个家庭。目前在民联州政府协助下，终于实现居者有其屋梦想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in The Star&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retiree: Being offered LMC unit akin to striking lottery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A retiree  feels like he has struck the lottery after being offered to buy a new low medium-cost (LMC) unit at the Central Garden project in Batu Lanchang, Penang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teh Soay Hun, 62, said it was good news for him and his family as there were only limited units at the project and he was one of the lucky few to be offered to buy a unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Batu Lanchang assemblyman Danny Law said there were 195 LMC units of about 750sq ft each at the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said some 45 squatters from Kampung Pulau in Perak Road came to thank the state for offering them the units.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said they gave priority to the squatters as they needed the units more than anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We are unable to offer every applicant as there are limited units, We received over 1,200 applications for units at the project.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He urged those seeking LMC or low-cost flat units to visit the state housing department website (http://erumah.penang.gov.my).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-12-31 18:00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ■黃漢偉為小孩背上書包，待新學年開課時，小孩可以開開心心上學去！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城31日訊）阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉週六頒發第3批上學用品，70名受惠的清寒家庭孩子來自甘榜馬來由，2011年一共發出200套校服及上學用品。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;粉刷組屋即將完工&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，這是繼發林和天德園玫瑰園後，再次造福阿依淡選區的各族居民，州政府也了解為人父母必須承擔的重任，冀通過此計劃減輕父母的負擔。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，東北縣擁有70個鄉委會組織，甘榜馬來由鄉委會成功擊敗其他對手，奪得最佳鄉委會榮銜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;較後，黃漢偉也巡視甘榜馬來由B座組屋重新粉刷進展，目前油漆工程已完成70%，尚需一個月時間進行，預計月杪即可完工。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他形容，油漆就像是一門藝術，必須慢慢下筆，即使要花時間也無所謂，最重要得出的效果令人滿意。唯一的小挑戰就是要在牆上稍作些圖案。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，粉刷費用高達27萬5000令吉，早前州政府已經在A座更新電線及住家內的電箱，B座油漆完畢後，就會輪到A座，到時B座將進行更換電線工程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，甘榜馬來由組屋區共分為A和B座，A座組屋擁有492單位，B座則有470單位。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in Sinchew Jit Poh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;火箭積極拉攏巫裔選票&lt;br /&gt;由星洲日報大北馬于 2011年12月31日22:21 发布&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;行動黨議員極積向巫裔選民拉票，送書包校服或餐桌、公佈新計劃為民選打下強心劑之餘，也向選民痛斥一些國陣掌控的媒體誣賴州政府和首長林冠英。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;亞依淡區州議員黃漢偉昨日早上9時到甘榜馬來由頒發新校服禮券、書包和文具給70名小學生，也巡視目前正在B座組屋進行的粉刷工程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉告訴巫裔選民，《馬來西亞前鋒報》常誣賴州政府和林冠英，較早前林冠英起訴該報並獲判勝利，證明以林冠英為首的州政府並沒邊緣化州內巫裔。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“林冠英親自到訪甘榜馬來由數次了，但之前的許子根（前首長），多年都不曾到訪這里。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉說，A座組屋已獲更換電纜，B座組屋的粉刷工程已完成70％，明年（2012年）就會輪到A座組屋進行粉刷，B座組屋更換電纜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他希望巫裔選民別閱讀《馬來西亞前鋒報》，換讀州政府推出的《珍珠快訊》，以了解州政府的惠民政策。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;★斯里德里瑪區州議員雷爾於早上11時30分到敦沙頓住宅區小販中心，正式移交新餐桌及椅子給該區小販公會，武吉牛汝莪區國會議員卡巴星也受邀，但沒有出席。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這些餐桌和椅子總值4萬零400令吉，由市議員柏蘭安南和陳翰威聯合撥出。柏蘭安南說，小販們申請了28年，民聯執政後終獲撥款。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雷爾說，一些人時常造謠指州政府邊緣化巫裔，但敦沙頓居民不會相信，只擔心其他地區的巫裔會誤信謠言。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我們之前贈送了書包校服給340名小學生，當中250名來自敦沙頓！”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他揄揶馬來文報章受邀卻不出席新聞發佈會，不然就可以報導州政府對於馬來社群的貢獻。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;★雷爾說，他計劃把當地一批小販合法化，但他們的攤格擺在中央政府的地段上（停車場），中央政府不批准轉移用途申請，於是至今未能成功。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他將於明年（2012年）在兩層樓的敦沙頓巴剎內安裝電梯，方便幼老上下及小販搬動貨物。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雷爾受詢時說，他的新年願望是民聯可在來屆大選守住檳州，攻下布城，行動黨可贏取更多議席。他不回應“軍閥與教父”風波的任何提問。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Kedua-dua lift di Blok 1 Flat tersebut rosak pada bulan Ogos dan menyebabkan 1500 penduduk memanjat tangga selama 2 minggu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YB Wong Hon Wai telah membantu memperbaiki lif tersebut dengan dana Kerajaan Negeri dan sebahagian dana ditanggung oleh penduduk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penduduk di Taman Jelutong Jaya mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada kedua-dua wakil rakyat yang prihatin ini. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in Nanyang Siang Pau. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;地點：霹靂冷天安園組屋&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　（檳城24日訊）儘管檳州房屋局“出錢”為霹靂冷天安園組屋修好升降機，組屋居民只需承擔25%的升降機維修費，但至今，組屋共管機構只接獲約半數居民付錢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　天安園B座組屋于今年8月29日，發生兩架升降機無法操作事件，當時居民被逼走樓梯10多天，直至9月10日其中一架才緊急修好，恢復操作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　在州政府房屋局緊急維修撥款下，B座組屋的兩架升降機已修好，A座組屋其中一架升降機也同樣修好，兩座組屋1500名居民終可完全擺脫走樓梯的夢魘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;每戶須付132令吉&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　共管機構秘書李祥興說，在升降機維修費方面，每戶居民需付132令吉，至今只有一半居民付錢，如今升降機維修好了，該機構將再度向居民收取維修費。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　李祥興今早陪同掌管檳州房屋委員會黃漢偉巡視該兩座組屋的4架升降機完全啟用的活動上，這么說。出席者包括雙溪檳榔區州議員郭庭源、該組屋共管機構主席高榮輝。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　黃漢偉指出，B座組屋其中一架升降機原本就無法操作；8月29日，另一架升降機也無法操作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　他說，因此房屋局緊急撥款，B座升降機需要4萬9000令吉維修費，包括更換電纜、引輪等，居民給25%，即1萬2250令吉；房屋局付75%，即4萬9000令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　至于A座組屋一架升降機的修理費用是4萬4000令吉，居民付8800令吉，州政府付3萬5200令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉：州政府緊急撥款&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉指出，天安園組屋的升降機已10年沒有維修，儘管發展商已清盤，卻仍向居民收取管理費，但沒進行維修工作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　因此他說，在不得已下，為解決居民必須走樓梯問題，因此州政府緊急撥款維修。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　他說，這是州政府第二次動用上述撥款，首次是在今年為遇到風災的武吉敏惹廉價屋，10多個單位的屋頂被風吹走，房屋局撥款維修。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　較早前，天安園組屋A與B座各有兩架升降機，A座（9層，117單位）只有一架升降機可操作；B座（17層，212單位）升降機也只有一架操作，但在8月29日另一架也無法操作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　李祥興說，該組屋已有11年，並在去年7月成立共管機構，收取40令吉管理費，但今年1月起收60令吉，約70%居民有繳管理費。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-12-23 19:09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城23日訊）檳州房屋局及電腦中心將改善系統，清理2008年之前的資料，即日起開放至明年3月31日，讓此前的廉價屋及中廉價屋申請者登記更新資料，以確保有資格者獲得獻議房屋。&lt;br /&gt;檳州城鄉、房屋委員會主席黃漢偉週五在記者會上表示，只有2008年前的申請者才需要更新資料。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2008年前申請須更新&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，截至2011年11月16日，多達8萬4445的廉屋申請者，在2007年12月31日前提呈申請。&lt;br /&gt;他指出，由於時日已久，有些人的電話，可能還是過去的6個號碼，而一些人的地址換過、申請者去世、或不再感興趣，資料未更新，這導致發展商獻議的信函被退回。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉說，房屋局及電腦中心將改善系統，關注現有的房屋局申請資料及租金系統，2010年1月15日推介網上房屋登記系統（eRumah），讓民眾可上網檢查最新狀況，增加透明度。&lt;br /&gt;他指出，12月22日房屋局將會向所有議員及縣屬辦公室簡報，讓他們更有效將消息發佈給人民。&lt;br /&gt;他說，更新資料的PN2表格可到人民代議士辦公室、縣屬辦公室、政府組屋房屋局辦公室、光大3樓和20樓房屋局領取。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他強調，要更新的資料包括地址、聯絡號碼、收入、家庭負擔及其他資料。&lt;br /&gt;“如果申請者沒有在這3個月內更新資料，他們會被列為不活耀申請者，只有在更新資料後才會被復活。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉表示，更新資料可改善登記系統，成功獲得獻議購買的申請者名單，將發佈在網上及光大三樓，讓民眾在14天內檢查及反對。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，過了更新資料登記的期限，將會通知申請者的狀況，預計4月15日後民眾可查詢清楚。&lt;br /&gt;出席記者會包括巴當拉浪州議員陳宗興、爪夷州議員陳明發、丹絨武雅州議員鄭雨週及檳房屋局主任莎達。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-12-23 16:55&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城訊）檳州城市與鄉村規劃、房屋委員會主席黃漢偉說，喬治市古蹟特別區域藍圖的聽證會已經完成，有關方面正在草擬報告書，以便在2013年2月初提呈給聯合國教文科組織。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，喬治市古蹟特別區域藍圖於今年2、3月間宣佈公開讓民眾對藍圖提出諮詢後，獲得不少的民眾及非政府組織對藍圖作出反應，並接獲60個意見，提出224的不同課題。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉是於昨日（22日）在宣佈舉辦明年度檳城國際房產業展的新聞發佈會上發表上述談話，在場者有籌委員會主席王萬祥、永利行國際產業估價機構董事倪傳鵬及瑋力集團執行董事羅振銓。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，檳州政府成立一個5人小組並已召開聽證會，今年12月1日完成聽證會的程序，由城鄉規劃局根據5人小組準備的報告書，以提呈給檳島市政局及州策劃委員會通過，預料有關程序將於明年杪完成，並會如期呈上教文科組織。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外，他說，檳州立法議會於今年5月間三讀通過古蹟法令後，由城鄉規劃局繼續工作，策劃及草擬古蹟的法令，以便有效的執行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出，該局亦建議委任古蹟專員，希望能在未來3個月內完成古蹟法令的準備工作及付諸予執行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;成交量料不遜去年&lt;br /&gt;檳州國際房產業展明年316登場&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第十屆檳城國際房產業展將於明年3月16至18日在檳城國際體育競技場舉行，展出檳州最新的房產業，預料成交量不遜於去年的成績。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;王萬祥：願參展者115前快報名&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;籌委員會主席王萬祥說，去年為期3天的展出，房產業成交量高達2億令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而且，展出後不少的購屋者仍根據房產業展的訊息，向有關發展商購買房屋，其成交量高出了產業展的總數。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他希望有意參展者於明年1月15日之前報名，可獲得攤格租金的優待。聯絡電話012-4280202（王萬祥）及012-4826281（邱武揚）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外，黃漢偉說，檳州國際房產業展不僅展出各類高檔的房屋，也推出中低廉價屋的單位，讓中等收入者有機會選購房屋。（星洲日報／大北馬）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   封面故事&lt;br /&gt;    产业周刊&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-12-25 13:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    垄尾区近20年来发展迅速，如今已成为槟城人口最稠密的地区。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 of 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;避免购屋者付台底钱&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;州政府努力为这些滞销的单位促销和速配，黄汉伟认为，这项全马首例的速配机制也可减低发生购屋者付台底费，或中介人从中牟取暴利的情况出现。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他更坦言这措施只能实行在特定的房屋计划，一些抢手的房屋计划则难行得通。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;二手市场找到可负担房屋&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;山姆根南丹说，除了新建竣房屋之外，购屋者其实仍可以在槟威两地的二手房屋市场找到可负担房屋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据他非正式统计，截至2011年上半年，槟岛至少有200至250间单位待售，如果加上威省有超过400间。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，这些房屋的售价介于6万至10万令吉，威省的可负担房屋价格在6万 以下，槟岛则介于9万至10万令吉，中等收入者的可负担房屋是介于18万至20万令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;资讯不足&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他不否认资讯不足是另一个弊病。他建议槟州房屋局应联合银行、产业拍卖行及房屋经纪公司整理出一个齐全的新房屋发展计划及二手房屋资料库，定时更新资料，并通过广告、传单及上网让公众浏览及查询，提高产业交易量。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一方面，他说，当局有必要通过讲座会或研讨会，教育及加强购屋者对选购拍卖或二手房屋的知识，包括如何鉴定屋子的状况、融资问题及是否有隐藏的费用等，让购屋者对二手房屋更具信心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;哈拉曼英达：28%廉价屋滞销&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据他提供的数据显示，目前在威南面对销售缓慢的哈拉曼英达（Halaman Indah），至10月19日为止，211间的4万2000令吉廉价屋仍有 60单位未被订购，价值8万令吉的中廉价屋则有123间单位待售。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;该计划已完成65%工程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中央花园：195单位被抢空&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据悉，之前闹得风风雨雨的槟岛峇都兰樟中央花园中廉价屋单位分配风波，195间售价7万2500令吉的单位不但被抢购一空，一些购屋者甚至拿出现款购屋，惊人情况令人咋舌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;垄尾旭阳之苑：速配90公寓&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今年6月，黄汉伟也为OHM集团的垄尾旭阳之苑90间廉价公寓单位举行速配，三房二浴室700平方尺的廉价单位，售价只需6万 7500令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;双溪杜里柏迈：多种房屋完工75%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一项双溪杜里柏迈计划，待售的单位包括9间售价9万令吉的半独立中廉价屋、93间售价8万令吉的中廉价排屋及205间售价3万8000令吉的“豆干屋”； 以上计划分别已完成60至75%工程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 Puncak Erskine：2008年至今滞销9%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由OHM集团在槟岛白云山88 Puncak Erskine中廉价组屋兴建的1038单 位，自2008年取得住用证迄今，每单位售价6万5000令吉（如加停车位则8万 令吉），仍有99间还未售出。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陈福星:威省屋成交慢 购屋者贷款受阻&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;槟州房地产发展商会主席拿督陈福星证实，威中及威南的中廉价屋成交进展确实有点缓慢，主要是购屋者面对贷款受阻问题。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，有关中廉价屋的建筑地点靠近油棕园或马来区，较难以吸引投资者购兴，至于有意购买的当地购屋者，则面对贷款能力的问题。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，若当局要满足购屋者的需求在乔治市内兴建更多可负担房屋，必须批准在乔治市进行更多填土计划。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;此外，以目前土地及建筑村料成本剧增的情况来算，一间单位的建筑成本至少要15万令吉以上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，除非政府严厉管制中廉价屋的分配，确保将单位优先分配予首次购屋者或真正的购屋者，否则可负担房屋短缺的问题将永远存在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;曹观友：解决过剩问题 拟固打费取代建廉价屋&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;针对槟州中廉价屋或出现滞销或过剩的问题，掌管槟州地方政府委员会的行政议曹观友不讳言，州政府未来或不再强制发展商兴建中廉价屋，改以缴付固打费取替。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，州政府也发现到州内中廉价屋可能出现过剩的问题，同时也考虑到目前土地价格高涨，发展商面对建筑成本增加及土地严缺的问题。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“因此，考虑让发展商以缴付固打费用来代替兴建中廉价屋。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，目前槟威两地地方政府实行发展商在槟岛东北区发展超过150单位房屋须兴建30%的中廉价屋，在槟岛西南区及威省发展100间房屋，需兴建30%中廉价屋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他说，根据发展商的计算，在目前建筑成本高涨的时代，兴建一间廉价屋的成本介于6至7万令吉，中价屋则介于8万至12万令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有效规划基本设施&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因此，当局规定发展商向其他增建中廉价屋的发展商购买固打，一间廉价屋缴付4万令吉，而中廉价屋就须3万令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这不但可解决中廉价屋过剩的问题，州政府也可通过收取的固打费充作未来发展可负担房屋的基金，同时有效发展及规划基本设施及公共交通。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他透露，由黄汉伟为首的州房屋局将制定一个新的方程式来处理发展商之间的廉价屋固打问题，并将在适当时机作出宣布。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;槟人口平均增长2.11%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;拥有152万人口的槟城是大马第二小州属，槟城人口自1980年开始稳定增加，2000年至2010年的平均成长2.11%，1991年至2000年则为1.62%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;高度城市化和工业化令槟城成为最发达城市之一，也是国家经济支柱之一，更是吸引广大游客的旅游胜地。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;诗布朗再也零售市场因周边广场和新商场计划的启动而发展稳定，商场如永旺的租金介于每月每平方尺3.8令吉至17.8令吉。&lt;br /&gt;截至2011年首季的零售空间，按年增10%至1490万平方尺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;根据国家产业资料中心（NAPIC）数据显示，未来，北海、大山脚、峇都丁宜、丹绒道光、爪夷和峇央峇鲁市中心将增加150万平方尺的零售空间。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这些零售单位的租用率从上年同期的71%下滑至66%，不过，该区3大广场仍保持80%至95%的单位使用率。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;根据计算，零售空间对比槟城人口为人均9.85平方尺，比国家平均的4.13平方尺高出许多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以该居民平均可得零售空间，加上每家庭4.407令吉平均收入计算，槟城现有足够的零售空间供应。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因为家庭平均收入加上槟城零售发展未成熟，压抑着单位租金上涨的潜能。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

The line-up of Exco members there to support CM Lim Guan Eng are YBs Chow Kon Yeow, Wong Hon Wai, Abdul Malik Kassim, Lydia Ong, Phee Boon Poh, Lim Hock Seng and Lau Choo Kiang. The judgement was delivered by Justice George Varughese. CM Lim was awarded RM200,000 in aggravated damages and the defendant, Utusan Malaysia was ordered to pay RM25,000 costs. CM Lim has pledged that he will donate the money to charitable organisations when the case is settled. At the moment, according to CM Lim's lawyer Jagdeep Singh, the defendant may still appeal. CM Lim thanked his lawyer Jagdeep Singh who has handled the defamation case against Utusan. In closing,CM Lim said, "We thank God that truth is uphold."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

He cited the example of the multi-languages road signs in the George Town Heritage Area and the newly-installed signboard for Air Itam market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉：民聯執政檳城大力推行多元文化政策&lt;br /&gt;二零一一年十二月十八日晚上六時三十七分&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城18日訊）檳州行政議員黃漢偉指出，自民聯於2008年執政以來，已大力推行多元文化政策，這包括在檳城喬治市古蹟區內置放多語路牌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，此外，亞依淡菜市場也已置放四種語文的招牌，即國文、英文、華文及淡米爾文四種語文。 他強調，檳州民聯政府已體現推廣多元文化的政策，以抗衡單元文化。 他是於週六晚上在檳榔嶼鄭氏滎陽堂120週年慶典聯歡宴會上，致詞中如此指出。 儀式上，受邀致詞者尚包括工委會主席準拿督鄭榮興，檳榔嶼鄭氏滎陽堂主席鄭友奇，馬來西亞鄭氏滎陽堂總會長拿督鄭金城及檳州華人大會堂主席拿督藍武昌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;藍武昌致詞中指出，華堂有關心及監督政府政策的使命，因為由於民意的求變，我國公共服務領域已受到社會進步洪流的衝擊，而政府制定“退出”政策，公務員如果表現不好，將不能像以往一樣保住鐵飯碗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他認為，政府制定的“退出”政策，將可消除公務員傲慢態度及改掉他們一手遮天的弊病，例如臨教簽署合約，在未經教育部指示下，官員已自作主張，所以，這種行為應該徹底糾正。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;鄭榮興致詞中指出，有海水的地方就有華人，有華人的地方會有鄭氏宗親，這可說是滎陽鄭氏遍天下，而在全球化世界裡，鄭氏宗親必要加強聯繫，凝聚力量。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;鄭友奇致詞中指出，該堂是從當初一間平房發展到今日擁有巍峨大廈，而且更再接再厲推展教育慈善基金，這首先必須感謝4位德高望重功臣，即顯乙、富欽、達源及已故顯榮宗長的大力支持及無私的奉獻，其次是全體宗親慷慨解囊和眾志成城的精神。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;鄭金城致詞中指出，在各州鄭氏宗親會的支持及配合下，總會的會務才得以順利推展，而他希望在往後，這種精神能夠延續，把總會會務推向另一個高峰。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

While opening the musical camp for NGC group, YB Wong Hon Wai encourages the youth to be creative and dare to be different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉鼓勵青年一定要超越上一代&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由星洲日報大北馬于 2011年12月22日22:00 发布&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第十九屆北工站新浪潮歌曲創作營開幕人黃漢偉行政議員說，雖然目前的社會體制壓抑創意，但他鼓勵青年一定要超越上一代，讓社會繼續前進。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“年輕人需要在體制外內提出自己的看法，需要超越父母那一代，社會才能前進。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉前晚為第十九屆北工站新浪潮歌曲創作營致開幕詞時，發表上述談話。出席嘉賓包括北工站創立人黃喜光、顧問梁傑權、林維安、主席徐酈玲、籌委會主席葉怡均、營長林家成、星洲日報檳吉玻業務開發主任賀世敏。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉說，很多大學生都很有主見，我國有創作的天地，只是被目前的制度管制，這對創作不好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“之前，穿黃衣也被視為犯法，國家文學家朗誦詩歌也被警員逮捕。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，當年在國大求學時，國大內也有歌曲創作坊，但卻像地下組職，需在校外才能辦活動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉也摘取香港作詞人林夕的看法，指創作需取材自普通生活，才能交織出引起眾人共鳴的作品。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今屆創作營主題為“星光傳奇”，於本月21日至24日在韓江學院舉行，由北工站主辦，韓江播音人及星洲日報協辦。共有47名來自北馬，一名來自馬六甲的中學營員。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;★賀世敏說，現今青年擁有了更大的虛擬世界舞台，但在創作中卻缺乏原始的純真。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;他說，本地歌曲創作曾在八、九十年代發光發熱，但漸漸走下坡，現代的歌曲，變得更注重包裝。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“創作者需要舞台，相比前輩，現代的青年在網上都擁有了自己的空間。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;北工站新浪潮歌曲創作營一度吸引不到青年參加，這令賀世敏感到擔心。他喜見今屆人潮回流，希望主辦單位加油，讓本地創作之火重燃。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Counter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/details.php?page=50849&amp;print_page=http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com" title="http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com Stats" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Data&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.which-credit-card.com.au" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.counterdata.com/count.php?page=50849&amp;style=invisible&amp;nbdigits=&amp;reloads=1" alt="credit cards" border="0" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.which-credit-card.com.au" title="credit cards" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;"&gt;credit cards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; text-decoration : none;"&gt; Counter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com --&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7496704-4706477244653822264?l=honwai_wong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com/feeds/4706477244653822264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7496704&amp;postID=4706477244653822264' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7496704/posts/default/4706477244653822264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7496704/posts/default/4706477244653822264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://honwai_wong.blogspot.com/2011/12/as-reported-in-sinchew.html' title='黃漢偉鼓勵青年一定要超越上一代'/><author><name>hwwong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00407826857621447416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5YzTwGSmTWE/TF_0m6ksipI/AAAAAAAAByk/XhiRnwuLMVs/S220/hwwong.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2m4ZYxCIo4Y/TvyYG0_F82I/AAAAAAAAC-M/YxY-fSnuVps/s72-c/ngc2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496704.post-3706563945514729946</id><published>2011-12-17T23:08:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T12:00:48.857+08:00</updated><title type='text'>IWK must resolve the common septic tank issue</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlWowpGAMG8/Tuy3AXQ1beI/AAAAAAAAC3U/qhYFBVUyOIc/s1600/iwk1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlWowpGAMG8/Tuy3AXQ1beI/AAAAAAAAC3U/qhYFBVUyOIc/s400/iwk1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687121646334602722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IWK must act creatively and resolving the issue of common septic tank issue.

   ■居民帶著黃漢偉巡視化糞池，並申訴數月來的苦處。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城17日訊）阿依淡安樂村化糞池數月前開始滿溢，導致臭味熏鼻，讓居民直呼受不了，不管吃飯、睡覺，都傳來一陣“飄臭”。 即使已經多次向英達麗水作出投訴，仍然沒有獲得當局的正視，居民只好求助阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在黃漢偉牽引下，當地居民與英達麗水代表於週六進行對話，藉此向英達麗水提出他們目前面對的困境，以及要求英達麗水提供短期方案，義務協助或要收費也好，居民自會平分承擔，希望盡快前來處理，以解燃眉之急。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;安樂村村長黃振部指出，國會於2008年通過“2006年國家水務委員會”法案，根據第26（1）及（2）條文，共用化糞池必須由居民自負，英達麗水不再提供相關服務。立法前，英達麗水每月跟人民收取8令吉，而安樂村仍付費到2010年。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9月開始滿溢&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，該村化糞池於今年9月開始滿溢，嚴重影響居民的生活舒適感，當他們向英達麗水徵求服務時，對方只拋下一句：“沒有服務了”。若真要服務，必須支付費用，每趟650令吉，依安樂村化糞池的份量，共需要4趟的服務。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“前來抽取只不過是暫時的解決方法，以後問題還是會再發生，不僅僅安樂村，而是全檳的情況，中央政府要了解這點，想出一勞永逸的辦法。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他請求國會通過任何水務法案，務必通知居民或英達麗水的顧客，因為由始至終沒人知道為什麼英達麗水不再提供服務，也沒發出通告。同時國會通過此法案後，有何對策？若居民要求英達麗水服務時，費用應由誰來支付？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;已有37年歷史的安樂村共有40多戶人家，居民共用2個化糞池，包括新建的住宅也把排泄物鏈接到該化糞池。（）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

2011-12-16 13:40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    亚依淡极乐寺山脚市议会停车位非法看车员乱收费情况变本加厉，近半年来接二连三发生游客被打事件，吓跑游人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（槟城15日讯）槟城著名旅游胜地亚依淡极乐寺山脚市议会停车场非法看车员乱收费情况变本加厉，近期接二连三发生游客被打事件，吓跑游人！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据当地及附近商家透露，这批疑有私会党背景的看车员，除狮子开大口乱收费，近期囂张的态度变本加厉，一言不合即持械伤人，出动巴冷刀、铁棍及铁链等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;水喉管攻击4母子&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;目前是年终学校假期旅游旺季，当地昨日再上演一宗看车员打伤游客事件，一家来自吉隆坡的华裔游客疑不满车后灯破裂找看车员理论，结果遭两名凶悍的看车员持甘蔗及水喉铁管攻击，三名儿子挂彩，70多岁母亲更被推倒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;所幸，其中一名伤者的妻子及时抢走恶徒手中的水喉铁管，才避免丈夫被继续攻击，全家人惊慌逃离现场。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这起看车员伤人事件，是发生在昨日下午5时许。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据了解，事主一家十多人是于昨日上午共乘一辆休旅车到槟城度假游玩，并上百年古刹极乐寺观光。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不料，事主一家下午准备取车离开时，发现车后灯被弄破，即找之前收了3令吉停车费的看车员理论，对方一言不合动手打人，将事主三兄弟打伤，70多岁母亲也被推倒擦伤。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新春跫音近 红包党或向商家讨钱&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新春跫音逼近，私会党徒蠢蠢欲动向商家收保护费。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据亚依淡极乐寺山脚一带的商家近期意识到，盘踞当地停车场乱收费的恶徒企图趁农历新年即将来临，变身红包党向商家们讨红包或保护费。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据悉，当地商家们近期已频频接获风声，不过，由于红包党仍未有具体行动，商家也静观其变，但是促请警方及有关当局关注，以免商家们遭殃，同时也会影响当地旅游业。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4执法员驻守停车场 拟与警联手揪不法徒&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;亚依淡区州议员黄汉伟受询时，证实槟岛市议会在昨日事发后，已于今日派四名执法人员到极乐寺山脚停车场执法及看守，并将会在年终学校假期结束前，在上午8 时至晚上8时派二名执法员看守。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;无论如何，他说，由于执法人员无法24小时在当地驻守，因此，必须与警方合作执法，才能够将这批不法之徒一网打尽，起阻吓作用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据他透露，之前已接获当地居民及商家投诉这个有组织的非法看车员乱收费及态度囂张问题，而他也多次将问题向亚依淡警局及槟岛市议会反映，要求执法但问题存在多时仍未获有效解决。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;或要求槟总警局支援&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他认为，如果亚依淡警方无法解决问题，他可能要求槟州总警局支援，同时，也将会采纳当地商家的建议，利用当地的闭路电视监督。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;执行员被打留阴影 不敢再游极乐寺&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;举家到槟城度假被打，执行员一家见过鬼怕黑，不敢再上极乐寺游玩。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;华裔执行员举家从吉隆坡到槟城度假，不料却于昨日下午在亚依淡极乐寺山脚市议会停车场被打伤，一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳，除非当地非法看车员问题解决，否则往后不敢再上极乐寺观光。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;车灯破裂讨说法&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据悉，在一家周刊任职的事主（38岁），是于昨日带着一家十多人从吉隆坡到槟城展开三天两夜之游，并于昨日上午到极乐寺观光，于上午9时许付了3令吉予看车员后即到百年古刹观光。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不料，到事主一家于下午5时许准备取车离开时，竟然发现车后灯弄破，即刻找看车员理论，但对方推卸责任要事主找当局查看当地闭路电视的拍摄纪录，当事主大哥进一步要求收费的看车员给予合理交代时，其中一名看车员即刻出手打人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;七旬母亲被推倒&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据悉，两名看车员过后还取来两条甘蔗及水喉铁管攻击事主及两名兄长，导致事主手指及颈部受伤、大哥手部擦伤，二哥伤势取严重，头部及脚部瘀肿，所幸事主大嫂及时抢走凶徒手中水喉铁管，否早后果不堪设想，而事主的70多岁母亲也被推倒，所幸伤势无大碍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事主一家过后准备到浮罗池滑警局报案，不过，由于警方要求事主带家人到医院验伤后，再向查案官录口供，事主一家不愿破坏旅程，到附近诊疗所接受治疗后即离开。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;恶徒盘踞20市会停车格 外坡车旺季收5元&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据了解，这批恶名昭彰的看车员是于去年农历新年前夕开始盘踞在这个极乐寺山脚的15至20个槟岛市议会停车格向车主收费，外坡车介于3令吉至5令吉之间，视旅游旺季及车辆的豪华度而定，至于本地人则一律收费2令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不过，在执法单位未严加取缔下，让这批看车员态度日益囂张，一遇上车主不满收费上前理论，即刻动手或持械伤人，过去半年来已接二连三发生伤人事件，之前一名游客不满轿车被砸毁，向亚依淡警局报案。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;商民投诉没下文&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当地居民及商家看不过眼，担心吓跑游客生意受影响，向当地州议员及亚依淡警局反映，不过，还是不了了之。而之前当地市议会停车格乱收费新闻见报后，虽然市会执法官员前往巡视及了解情况，看车员相信接获风声消失踪影，执法组无功而返。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-11-30 17:04&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城30日訊）阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉指出，在提升天德園大道計劃上，首階段擴建工程將從本週六晚間11時至下週一的早上7時展開，屆時，當局將會把來回方向的其中1條車道關閉，公眾受促小心駕駛。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他週二出席壟尾寶石花園哪啅公聖誕千秋聯歡宴時表示，由於往來的車輛很多，雙方向只有一個車道的情況下肯定會很塞車，在考慮到這點下，發展商選擇在無工作日進行道路施工工程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無工作日施工&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出，雖然是在無工作日施工，但為駕駛者的安全起見，走在該路時必須要小心及加以忍讓，以免造成不必要的意外事件。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉說，目前已是學校假期，因此他相信，此工程不會為交通帶來很大影響，涉及路段是從該大道BL Garden至殯儀館前的100米路。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，此提升工程完成後，發展商將另尋合適時間，為另外兩條車道施工。此路段的提升工作預計在3個月內完成，提升工作包括將急轉彎的路段鋪直，以及加高道路以減少斜度，讓駕駛者行駛更順暢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，由於12月與1月是旅遊旺季，具有幾個著名旅遊景點的阿依淡區必將湧入更多車輛；他將召集幾個相關單位商討紓解交通的方案，避免交通過於擁擠，為居民帶來困擾。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   再納阿比丁路人民組屋住戶，拖欠政府12萬1900令吉租金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　 （檳城21日訊）截至今年9月30日，檳州6座人民組屋共拖欠州政府295萬6954令吉62仙租金，其中大山腳宏願組屋拖欠數額最多，達93萬1000令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　拖欠租金者可要留意了，因為州政府將進行重新面試住戶活動，拖欠租金者將被告知，若還要繼續在人民組屋居住，他們須繳清之前欠下的租金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　根據檳州房屋委員會主席黃漢偉日前在州議會提供的數據，許多人民組屋都出現住戶拖欠租金不還的現象，即威省方面有峇眼再也人民組屋拖欠56萬2200令吉、安邦惹惹人民組屋欠63萬2300令吉，及安邦岸人民組屋欠6萬4700令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　檳島方面，被視為貧窮人士的安樂窩，即利華路人民組屋住戶，拖欠租金費高達64萬4854令吉62仙，再納阿比丁路人民組屋住戶也拖欠12萬1900令吉租金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;提升設施&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　黃漢偉說，州政府通過數項努力向人民組屋居民追討回有關租金，包括每逢工作日在相關組屋樓下設立櫃檯、允許居民分期付款繳付租金、通過沿戶拜訪方式進行口頭規勸及派發通知單提醒居民，或尋求居民協會合作向租戶追討租金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　他說，一旦租戶堅持不繳付拖欠的租金，當局將發出搬空通知書，及採取法律行動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　黃漢偉說，除了追討租金，州政府也將提升人民組屋的設施，如提升走廊、樓梯、泊車場、升降機等的衛生情況、維修破損的基本設施，以及維修所有升降機。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;利華路居民欠租64萬&lt;br /&gt;議員下週開會討論&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;檳島市議員將在下周與雙溪檳榔區州議員郭庭源開會，討論如何解決利華路人民組屋住戶拖欠的租金問題。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　檳島市議員王耶宗指出，市局已計算出被拖欠的租金多達64萬令吉，欠租金最高者多達1萬多令吉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　“由于住在人民組屋的多數都是窮人，因此我們不能隨意趕他們出去，我們有想到一個方式，即要租戶先攤還所拖欠租金的其中30%，另外70%再由每個月以1+1方式繳交，如每個月租金是100令吉，租戶就需繳200令吉，其中100令吉是用來付還所拖欠的70%租金。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　對于完全不攤還租金者，王耶宗說，該局將與州議員合作調查有關租戶背景，若查實是很窮的租戶，則會想辦法幫助對方。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;檳州人民組屋拖欠租金總額（截至9月30日）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1．檳州秘書署房屋部管轄的人民組屋．拖欠租金總額（令吉）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a.再納阿比丁路人民組屋．12萬1900令吉&lt;br /&gt;b.峇眼再也人民組屋．56萬2200令吉&lt;br /&gt;c.安邦惹惹人民組屋．63萬2300令吉&lt;br /&gt;d.宏願人民組屋．93萬1000令吉,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;總額．224萬7400令吉&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2．檳島市政局管轄的人民組屋．拖欠租金總額（令吉）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;．利華路人民組屋．64萬4854令吉62仙&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3．威省市政局管轄的人民組屋．拖欠租金總額（令吉）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;．安邦岸人民組屋．6萬4700令吉&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;總額．295萬6954令吉62仙&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

This memorial landmark, managed by Kong Min School board of trustees is now undergoing a major upgrading which includes adding three new features to enhance its historical value and tourist appeal. The whitewashed obelisk commemorates the almost 800 people who were buried nearby. Martyrs who died for their resistance to the Japanese Imperial Army as well as the Nanyang Transport Volunteers known as NANQIAO JI GONG who gave their lives while volunteering as truck drivers and mechanics in the building of the famous and historical Burmah Road to sustain China’s war materials supply chain during the Sino Japanese War.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;铁蹄下的悲情槟岛　不想回忆未曾忘记（遙望回家路）&lt;br /&gt;二零一一年十一月十二日 晚上十时五十七分&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;报道：康灯海&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1941年，日军偷袭珍珠港后派军南侵，占领了马来亚。同年12月11日，槟岛被日军轰炸，乔治市很多房屋被炸毁，死伤者无数，槟城也因此熬过了3年8个月的苦日子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那段槟岛悲情岁月，日军经常肃清，捉拿老百姓进行奴化教育，强制人民学日语。人们一看到日军，就得卑躬致敬。直到现在，一提起二战，幸存者及罹难者家属都不堪回首这段往事。然而，日本当局真的从中吸取教训了吗？让我们听听槟城二战幸存者的回忆和心声，以及新生代黄汉伟议员参观了日本广岛原爆纪念馆后的隐忧。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;伍炳铨：每天活在死亡阴影下&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1941年日军轰炸槟岛时，我20多岁，在中路一所家具店里当木匠。一颗颗炸弹从槟岛天空轰炸下来时，整个市区都瘫痪了。市民四处逃亡，死伤无数，我躲在一条大水沟里，逃过了一劫。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当时死伤最严重的地区，在社尾万山及沓田仔一带。经过那里，一路可看到支离破碎的断腿，悬挂在电线杆上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;后来才知道，社尾万山被炸得最惨重，是因为日军在空中看到一辆辆人力车的左右两根手握朝天木柱，以为那是大炮，于是拼命往社尾万山处投下炸弹。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;日据时代，我被迫替日本人工作，每天一早跟着日军到处走，建造炮台，收拾尸体。我们这群替日本人打工的壮丁，从来不敢向日军讨薪水。每月日军只给我们一两袋只够一家人煮粥喝的米粮。其中一名壮丁，在劳作时因为停下来歇息，而被日军打得半死。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3年8个月的苦日子，经常都有肃清，人们每天活在死亡阴影下。没有经过战争的人，不会知道战争的可怕。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我到现在还没到过亚依淡纪念碑致祭。那些被日军打死而埋在纪念碑地底下的人，我可能碰过。如今我老了，行动不便，希望在有生之年能到纪念碑前凭吊，了结我最后的心愿。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;管槟玉：不知道父亲尸骨散在何处&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1941年，我父亲管亮工被日军捉去，死于四坎店监狱。当时我才2岁，父亲去世后，遗下我和3岁的哥哥及母亲相依为命。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;父亲生前和爷爷管震民是钟灵中学的导师。中国抗战时期，钟灵师生通过卖花及话剧义演活动，为中国抗战募款。我从母亲沈亮采生前口中得知，日军占领槟岛后，曾经带着蒙面人到钟灵中学，捉拿抗日的钟灵师生。那一次，父亲虽然逃过一劫，却在另一场亚依淡大肃清里，被日军捉走。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;后来，听说身为钟灵体育导师的父亲，曾经体罚一名不守纪律的学生在操场上跑几圈，后来被记恨的对方告为抗日份子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;父亲在狱中被严重拷打和灌水。后来，听出来的人说，父亲和几个囚犯被关在一个卫生设备糟透的狱房。牢里只有一缸水，喝水及大小便都只能用这一缸水。父亲因而得了痢疾，出血不停。父亲自知活不久，就在狱中绝食而死，死时才24岁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;和平后，家人才知道父亲死在监狱里，也不知道父亲的尸骨散在何处。只能用父亲遗下的其中一件衣服，当成他的遗体，葬在双溪里蒙的三江墓地里。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;亚依淡纪念碑建成后，每年11月11日，我和家人都有到纪念碑前献花致祭。爷爷及母亲相继过世后，我依旧年年风雨无阻到纪念碑前致祭，感觉到父亲的英魂就守在那里。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;张金珠：历史可以宽恕但不能遗忘&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;日据时代，我父亲张仕龙被日军捉去拷打致死时才30岁，当时我才2岁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;父亲生前是浮罗山背一个小园主。1941年日军占领槟岛时，听说有40多名驻在本地的英国军人逃到浮罗山背，好心的父亲当时就助他们匿藏，救济他们粮食。后来，日军到来围捕，父亲及英国军人都被他们捉走。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;之后听说，父亲在狱中被严重拷打，十根手指被两块烧得火红的铁板夹着，双手都残废了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;父亲死后，遗下我们6个年幼的兄弟姐妹。那段艰苦岁月，靠着母亲梁六妹卖鸡蛋来养活我们。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据我堂兄张境安生前回忆，他小时候曾经陪着我母亲，挑着担子从浮罗山背走到亚依淡菜市场，蹲在路边卖鸡蛋。曾经有几次，在路上遇到了带着枪械的日本兵，他们公然把两篮鸡蛋都拿走。无助的大人和小孩只能两手空空，落寞地走回浮罗山背。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;堂兄张境安年幼时，亲眼看到几名凶神恶煞的日军，冲进我们的老家房间，用系着尖刀的长枪，刺进每一张床底下，不留一个匿藏的抗日活口。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;过去多年，每年11月11日，堂兄和我都会带着子孙到纪念碑前献花致祭，让后辈铭记历史可以宽恕，但千万不能遗忘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黄汉伟：这一代人应该惜福感恩&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一年前，我参观了日本广岛原爆纪念馆，目睹在二战时期原子弹轰炸下，数以万计广岛生灵被毁灭的图文档案，当时心情很沉重。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;令我感到遗憾的是，整个广岛原爆纪念馆里，日本当局只呈现战争的残酷面貌，对当年原子弹投下广岛的原因却绝口不提。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当年，如果日本军人政府没有偷袭珍珠港、没有引发太平洋战争，美国就不会在广岛投下原子弹。日本对于二战历史的官方诠释还是缺乏诚意，只一味以原子弹受害者的姿态出现，没有反映二战始末的全面史料。日本当局必须正视二战历史的根源，才能避免重蹈覆辙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我们这一代没经过战争浩劫的现代人，应当惜福。我希望美化后的亚依淡纪念碑，能引发更多人重新认识二战历史，维护和平。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-11-12 17:30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ■柯繼雄（右）向黃漢偉講解，《歸途》畫的是年老的母親回中國尋親的故事。同時也代表自己在澳洲居住了31年後，最終踏上歸途，定居檳城。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城12日訊）本地畫家柯繼雄展出68個畫作回顧心路歷程，命名為“柯繼雄回顧展”，展出他從22歲開始在霹靂、吉打、沙巴、澳洲及紐約等地方的作品。畫展以近期畫作《稻田》和《船》系列為主軸。&lt;br /&gt;檳州畫廊主席拿督鄧康賢表示，畫展的籌備時間長達2年。畫展時間為11月1至30日，在檳城州立畫廊展出。&lt;br /&gt;檳州議員黃漢偉在開幕儀式上表示，檳城州立畫廊每年會特別邀請一位成就非凡的畫家前來展出，做為年度重頭戲，勢必以越來越精采的展覽，讓檳州畫廊日後成為檳州的旅遊勝地。&lt;br /&gt;柯繼雄說，“自己的人生，一定要獲得開心，我們並不需要不斷與他人競爭。天堂並不存在於地球上，所以人生，最重要學會享受每個旅程。”再以現場清唱歌手李家昌名曲《我找到自己》結束致詞。&lt;br /&gt;柯繼雄指出，近期作品《稻田》系列的靈感來自小時候居住的地方，稻田讓他想起童年。為了重現記憶中的畫面，他前後到泰國、柬埔寨、吉打等地方，觀摩當地稻田風景，回來後成功畫出“回憶”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以《船》自喻&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他更以《船》系列比喻自己，形容自己的人生就好像隨浪漂泊。船，始終要靠岸；而他，選擇檳城作為他停泊的港口，以“落葉歸根”形容自己的決定。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   北馬&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-11-11 10:42&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城）檳州行政議員黃漢偉說，不久前他處理亞依淡巴剎兩百多單位小商販的問題之後，才領悟人性化處理街邊小販問題的重要性。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他於前晚（9日）出席檳城小販商業公會慶祝成立59週年紀念暨頒發第卅三屆會員子女獎勵金宴會說，其實人性化處理小商販問題是民聯州政府一貫的方式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，以他處理亞依淡巴剎問題為例，他開了不少過10次會議，視察巴剎至少10次，經過8個月才妥善的提升這座巴剎的基本設施。&lt;br /&gt;他說，亞依淡巴剎因此而擁有不銹鋼豬肉檔，並且歷史性的有了華、巫、英和淡米爾文招牌，和其他便利設施。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，民聯政府上台之後便策劃提升州內的巴剎，目前已提升了5座巴剎，除了亞依淡巴剎商販受惠，其他受惠者包括峇都茅、日落洞、浮羅池滑和七條路的巴剎商販。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;梁景輝：協助推動經濟&lt;br /&gt;小販 應獲州政府照顧&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;宴會工委會主席梁景輝說，小販在推動社會經濟，和促進檳州旅遊業方面扮演重要角色，作出巨大貢獻。&lt;br /&gt;他希望政府能夠體恤小販生活艱苦，能夠在各方面照顧小販的福利。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林東英：希望小販標價大眾化&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;會長林東英說，該會於先賢創會至今經過了59年漫長的歲月，在歷屆會長領導，及理事同心協力之下，不知經過多少風風雨雨，捍衛會員權益，而大家團結合作，使該會更加壯大。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他也希望小販遵循價格大眾化理念，對顧客有禮貌，注重環境清潔，和食物的衛生，全力協助檳州旅遊業發展。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“最近檳島市政局不公平處理本區小販問題，發生不愉快事情，幸好有州議員黃偉益伸張正義，站在小販的立場合理爭取小販權益。”（星洲日報／大北馬）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ■黃漢偉（左五）聯同林秋雅（右六）、陳呈（左三）、馬來西亞佛教總會總務林展鵬（左一）、南僑機工領袖陳嘉庚的長孫陳立人（右五）、中國華僑機工歷史研討會常務會長林曉昌（右四）等共同主持開幕儀式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城12日訊）檳州房屋、城鄉發展及藝術委員會主席黃漢偉鼓勵華團組織不時舉辦與華人歷史有關的研討會，以彌補大馬正規教育現有的歷史課程中的不足。&lt;br /&gt;他說，國內現在的歷史課本，並沒有對當年華人史跡作出詳細闡述，如果華團能夠策劃及主辦更多的歷史交流會，將可讓新生代更了解南僑機工的奮鬥史事。&lt;br /&gt;他認為，只有了解歷史，和深刻思考歷史的人，才不會重蹈覆轍歷史的錯誤，因為歷史在演變過程中，都擁有深遠的意義。&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉週五為“孫中山辛亥革命百年路-回顧歷史，展望未來”活動主持開幕儀式時，這麼說。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;延續辛亥革命精神&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;檳城孫中山協會會長林秋雅說，通過此次的辛亥革命百年紀念系列活動，該協會邀請了華僑機工抗戰歷史研究會、廈門集美學校委員會、廈門陳嘉庚紀念館來到大馬，並組成“珍惜歷史，關愛老兵”慰問團。&lt;br /&gt;她說，此慰問團除了對健在的南僑機工老人，也頒發抗戰勝利紀念章予已殉職的機工，以延續辛亥革命的精神。&lt;br /&gt;中國廈門陳嘉庚紀念館館長陳呈說，辛亥革命事跡在當年除了震動了全中國，同時也影響了整個華人世界，該館對於大馬華人在百年後，完美保留陳嘉庚史跡而感到感動。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Ini kerana kita menunaikan permintaan peniaga-peniaga di sini. Bajet tambahan telah diluluskan Majlis Lembaga Perolehan dan Jabatan Bangunan sudah menerima banyak permintaan dan arahan untuk melakukan kerja tambahan berdasarkan keperluan projek dan permintaan dari peniaga melalui pejabat Adun Air Itam, Wong Hon Wai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oleh itu, peruntukan tambahan diperlukan dalam perlaksanaan kerja-kerja tambahan itu bagi menjayakan projek ini. Antara skop kerja tambahan yang dikemukakan adalah pindaan tandas awam baru, membekalkan kaunter kepada peniaga khinzir, menukarkan bumbung ‘metal deck’ dan membekalkan kaunter jenis konkrit kepada peniaga tauhu,” katanya kepada media selepas merasmikan projek menaik taraf Pasar Awam Ayer Itam semalam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, skop kerja yang asal hanyalah melibatkan beberapa bahagian antaranya membina gerai ‘lock up’ baru, mencuci dan mengecat kemasan bumbung, membina kaunter dan kerja perparitan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kita buat semua berdasarkan permintaan peniaga agar mereka selesa selaras dengan dasar yang kita amalkan iaitu Cekap, Akauntabiliti dan Telus (CAT) yang mengutamakan kehendak rakyat serta mendengar suara rakyat. Kita mahukan rakyat hidup dalam keadaan selesa dan ini (projek menaik taraf) adalah bukti Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat (PR) sentiasa mengutamakan rakyat,” katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebelum itu, Guan Eng meluangkan masanya untuk beramah mesra dengan peniaga di pasar berkenaan selain menikmati sarapan pagi di salah sebuah gerai makan di situ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in The Star&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RM964,000 facelift Improved condition at popular Air Itam Market&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some 90 traders and hawkers at the Air Itam Market are all smiles now —thanks to the completion of the RM964,000 facelift project there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From afar, the new modern-looking signboard bearing the words ‘Pasar Awam Air Itam’ (Air Itam Market) which is written in three other languages and located facing the main road could be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The complex also saw the re-building of stalls complete with electricity and water supply, new drainage and wiring systems, roller shutters for lots, concrete flooring, fresh paint and upgrading of ceilings and toilets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project, which took eight months to be completed, was undertaken by the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who visited the market on Saturday, said the facelift project was completed on Nov 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said when he first visited the market before the 2008 general election, it was so hot inside that he was thoroughly soaked in sweat from head to toe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But today, only my shirt is soaked in sweat. The ventilation is better now after the facelift. The toilets too are of international standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have injected a fresh look to the market, which was built in 1932,” he told reporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lim added that the state government would continue to upgrade infrastructure and basic amenities at markets periodically for the benefit of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Air Itam Market was among five markets which were earmarked for upgrading works under the council’s 2010 Budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other markets are those in Batu Maung (completed in March), Cecil Street, Jelutong and Pulau Tikus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in Guang Min&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;冠英巡阿依淡菜市場‧師奶高喊偶像來了&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2011-11-05 19:14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    林冠英巡視阿依淡菜市場時與民一一握手問好。（圖：光明日報）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 of 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城5日訊）耗資約95萬令吉翻修後的“阿依淡巴剎”易名為“阿依淡菜市場”；檳州首席部長林冠英週六巡視阿依淡菜市場引起大批民眾圍堵，一些師奶還高喊“我們的偶像來了”，其中一名菜販還在黃姜粉的包裝上寫著“我們大家跟隨檳首長林冠英改朝換代”字眼，支持林冠英邁向布城。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英週六早出現在該菜市場時，一眾師奶遠遠看到他就開始對他“評頭論足”，稱林冠英胖了更好看，還稱林冠英是她們的偶像。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;稱冠英胖了更好看&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英巡視菜市場時，67歲菜販鄭亞准在黃姜粉的包裝上寫“我們大家跟隨檳首長林冠英改朝換代”字眼。他表示，選擇黃姜粉主要是聯想到黃色代表林冠英。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英巡視菜市場時直稱菜市場相當通風，讓他巡視后不再全身濕透，親身感受到該菜市場的轉變。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英在該菜市場未修復前曾2次到訪，由於當時菜市場屋頂不高，設施也不夠完善，導致每每他巡視后，衣服和褲子都被汗水弄濕。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他事後也讚菜市場修復後情況大大改善，已調高的屋頂和設施的提昇讓內部通風，他此次巡視只濕了上半身，褲子還是干干的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我真正摸到、看到和感受到阿依淡菜市場的轉變，因為相比之前2次巡視后，我的衣服和褲子都被汗水弄濕，此次則只濕上半身，就算當天我穿長袖的衣服。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英也說，該菜市場興建於1932年，屬一座古蹟菜市場，州政府決定把菜市場活化和美化，擦亮這座菜市場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他表示，除該菜市場外，州政府也會確保全檳的菜市場都能獲得提昇和美化。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英也提到，州政府會打破過去修復工程進行時要給“咖啡錢”的問題，讓人民知道勇敢轉變選出乾淨的政府，可創造神話。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“人民換了好的政府就不要再換，等下再換到壞的就不好了。”當天陪同林冠英巡視的人士包括檳州城市及鄉村規劃、房屋和藝術委員會主席黃漢偉、檳島市政局秘書洪永泰、市議員王耶宗、林清和及林秀琴等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴剎改稱菜市場檳州首個&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“阿依淡巴剎”改稱“阿依淡菜市場”後，相信是全檳首個使用“菜市場”的巴剎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;修復後的阿依淡菜市場共以4種語文命名，包括馬來文、淡米爾文、英文和華文，據知，原本馬來文準備用“Ayer Itam”命名，但考量到“Ayer”是獨立前使用的字眼，決定取用“Air Itam”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;至於華文名字，基於“菜市場”在華文和福建話的稱呼都是相同的，因此決定把巴剎改為“菜市場”。另外，淡米爾文也是求證淡米爾文學校校長後才使用的，有關方面在取名方面也沒有馬虎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;居民要求建停車場&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;支持極樂寺興建停車場的阿依淡居民林長來得知林冠英巡視菜市場，特別在林冠英召開記者會時向林冠英傳達民意，要求協助讓阿依淡儘快有個停車場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林長來是較早前召集55名民眾，支持極樂寺在山腳擴建停車場的發起人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英聽取林長來的言論後，表示會要求檳市局先查看極樂寺是否已提呈圖測給該局，畢竟該停車場是在沒有提呈圖測給該局的情況下私自興建。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;洪永泰說，由於極樂寺沒有提呈圖測給該局，該局已下令停工，惟，他會瞭解該寺是否已提呈圖測。（光明日報）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in China Press&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首长开幕拜票意味浓 亚依淡巴刹到处兴旺发&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　（槟城5日讯）槟州首长林冠英今早为翻新后的亚依淡巴刹开幕，同时走访巴刹小贩、附近商店业者及公众逾1小时，大选虽未到，但拜票意味非常浓厚。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　尽管如此，当地人民仍非常欢迎林冠英到来，把巴刹、道路挤得水泄不通，其中一名卖菜小贩郑亚准更特地在4包黄姜粉的透明包装袋上，写上“我们大家跟随首席部长林冠英改朝换代”字眼，恭候林冠英到来。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　郑亚准说，选择在黄姜粉包装上写上该字眼，是因为黄姜粉是黄色，代表林冠英。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;民众赞首长又帅又年轻&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　林冠英所到之处都被公众团团围住，许多公众争相握手及拍照，大赞林冠英又帅又年轻，甚至有老妇献抱，感谢州政府翻新巴刹，“兴啊！旺啊！发啊！”的口号也在巴刹里此起彼落。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　此外，有小贩在巴刹外邀请林冠英与随行的亚依淡州议员黄汉伟喝茶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　林冠英为翻新巴刹开幕时指出，槟州换政府后人民看到改变，新政府不吃钱，能为人民做很多事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　“人民换了政府可别再换，让我们继续看到、摸到、感觉到更多改变。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　较后，他在记者会上说，巴刹翻新后，空气比较流通，不像以往般闷热。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　“以前我来这里，汗流浃背，全身从衣服湿到裤子，这次衣服只湿了一半”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　该巴刹由槟岛市政局拨款100万令吉翻新，工程包括重建厕所、更换屋顶、提升档口等等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;极乐寺泊车场课题居民向首长反映不满&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;早前不满非政府组织反对兴建极乐寺泊车场的亚依淡居民代表林常来，在林冠英召开记者会时，向林冠英反映不满。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　他说，居民希望极乐寺兴建泊车场，希望非政府组织不要阻止。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　“极乐寺是个旅游胜地，没有泊车位会很塞车。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　对此，林冠英回应说，由于极乐寺未呈交图测就开工，因此市局已发出停工令。他说，会向市局了解极乐寺是否已呈上图测。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;　林常来早前与55名居民与亚依淡水坝登山客，召开记者会声讨把极乐寺泊车场事件搞得沸沸腾腾的非政府组织代表林倬生、陈耀威及梁超明等人，敬告他们勿来极乐寺“搞事”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in Kwong Wah Jit Pao&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（槟城5日讯）槟州首长林冠英为“阿依淡菜市场”主持提升工程完工礼，一位中年男子忽然冒出，“叮嘱”首长无论如何，必须帮助极乐寺完成兴建停车场计划。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英偕同亚依淡区州议员黄汉伟及多位市政局官员，于周六主持巴刹提升工程完工礼后，在咖啡店召开记者会时，一位中年男子忽然走向林冠英，表达当地建造停车场的迫切需求，希望州政府协助极乐寺完成兴建停车场计划。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不愿透露姓名的他自称毫无政党背景，纯粹想表达自己的意愿。他指极乐寺贵为知名景点，涌进全球各地旅客，但可笑的是无法提供停车位予游客，致使当地糟透的交通问题无法解决。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英向该名男子表示，政府会尽力协助，但一切得在极乐寺呈交图测及报告后，才能做决定，当然州政府也有意愿，帮助极乐寺完成兴建停车场计划。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;提升后带来改变&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;林冠英指出，“阿依淡菜市场”提升工程后带来很大改变，巡视该巴刹一圈不再全身湿透透，今次巡视，只有上半身流汗，因为该巴刹提升工程后，更加通风。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他补充，国阵执政十多年都不曾为巴刹展开提升计划，但民联上台3年就为民众带来“摸得到、看得到、感觉到”的改变，呼吁人民再改变，帮助民联入主布城。但对于已执政槟州的他，以福建话调侃道，“一旦州政府改好了，就不要再改变，不然改来改去，会short掉（意指疯掉）”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;公众围观交通阻塞&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;周六的“阿依淡菜市场”比平时更多人，加上首长吸引公众围观的魅力，造成当地交通更加阻塞，就算行动党服务队队员帮助维持次序，也于事无补。首长在举行完工礼后，沿户拜访“阿依淡菜市场”每位贩商及周围的商店，获得大家欢迎，纷纷趋前握手，不懂内情的人，可能会误会首长在拜票呢！当中也有不少人乘机向首长申诉民情，其助理则帮忙一一记录。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;忠实粉丝黄姜粉写大字&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首长忠实粉丝郑亚准在“阿依淡菜市场”工作40年，得知首长今日前来，特地在黄姜粉写了17个大字“我们大家跟随首席部长林冠英改朝换代”以示支持。询及是否知道黄色的意义，他表示不清楚，只知黄色代表首长。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首长到来不止逗得安哥安娣的欢喜，连女外劳也被首长魅力吸引，拿起手机拍照留念，首长也配合该外籍劳工，“站直直”拍照。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;提升工程花费96万&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“阿依淡菜市场”以公开招标的方式选择发展商，初期预计花费87万6937令吉50仙，但基于当地贩商有其他要求，修改了一些提升计划，最终的总花费是96万4455令吉52仙。提升工程耗时8个月，新建26个铁闸式档口及67个普通桌子式档口。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;提升工程中也包括增加男女各一间及一间残障人士厕所；最具标志性的是增添四语招牌，当中更使用规范语文命名。巴刹提升工程后，带给当地贩商更大便利，他们都给予一致的赞赏。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   &lt;br /&gt; 2011-10-22 10:24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    星洲日報大北馬讀者及《大北馬面子書》粉絲年捐出的3千32本圖書如今全面上架，全州唯一諳中文的圖書管理員柯金蘭應記一功。（圖：星洲日報）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 of 6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城‧北海）星洲日報〈大北馬〉讀者及《大北馬面子書》粉絲去年捐贈的逾3千本中文書已全面上架，公眾即日起可到詩不朗再也檳州圖書館及喬治市圖書館借閱！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;必須一提的是，這3千32本經過審查才上架的書本，佔了全檳政府圖書館中文藏書的約10%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於檳州圖書館擁有一套完整的電腦目錄庫，公眾如果未能到以上兩間較具規範的圖書館借書，也可以透過檳州圖書館網頁（http://www.penanglib.gov.my）內的目錄庫查詢書本的“行蹤”，並要求將書本送到最靠近住家的圖書館。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;唯公眾必須以漢語拼音搜尋華文書籍，其中可用書名、作者及出版商名字搜尋所要的書籍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蘇克莉雅：好的開始還要延續&lt;br /&gt;希望星洲再發動捐書運動&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;檳州圖書館主任蘇克莉雅受詢時說，全檳州目前已有2萬9千435本的中文書，由星洲日報〈大北馬〉讀者及《大北馬面子書》粉絲合捐的圖書佔了10%，這是一個非常好的開始。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她非常感激星洲日報發動的讀者捐書運動，使得州內的圖書館增加了逾3千本的各類華文書籍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我希望星洲日報來年再次發動讀者和面子書粉絲捐書給檳州圖書館，以惠及州內人民。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人手不足耽誤書本上架&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蘇克莉雅說，由於檳州只有柯金蘭一名諳中文的圖書管理員，在人手不足的情況下，才稍微耽誤了書本上架的時間。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她解釋：“處理圖書上架要經過層層程序，整個過程可能最多要21天。如今總算將讀者和粉絲的捐出的3千本圖書都上架了。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由讀者和粉絲捐獻的書籍，在喬治市圖書館有2千52本，至於詩不朗再也檳州圖書館則有980本。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她說，檳州圖書館的中文圖書借閱率非常高，早前由於沒有把從這次捐書運動中獲得的圖書分開擺放，造成今年6月間即使已把整千本捐書上架後，大家似乎都看不到星洲日報〈大北馬〉和面子書粉絲捐贈的書本。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3書架擺放讀者捐書&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她說，如今檳州圖書館特別設置3個書架擺放這些捐書，讓公眾和捐書人一眼就看到這些書本擺在何處。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她表示，檳州共有81間公共圖書館及12輛的流動圖書館，也是全國唯一擁有華文書籍的州際圖書館。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從檢查......程序多&lt;br /&gt;耗21天，書才上架！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蘇克莉雅說，每本書在上架之前皆需要經久多個程序，從開始檢查到上架將耗時21天。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中文書上架程序列下：&lt;br /&gt;1.檢查書本（包括查清楚書本是否完整、內容是否適合公眾閱讀、有否破損或遺失頁數）。&lt;br /&gt;2.為中文書名標上漢語拼音。&lt;br /&gt;3.為書本標上編號。&lt;br /&gt;4.把作者、書名等資料輸入目錄庫。&lt;br /&gt;5.將書本份類，如故事書、科學、激勵等。&lt;br /&gt;6.貼上編號貼紙、蓋章、借書及還書卡等。&lt;br /&gt;7.書本上架。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉：讓少年囚犯多閱讀‧建議送書到監獄及感化院&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;全力協助這次捐書運動的檳州行政議員黃漢偉欣慰首次連同星洲日報號召讀者與粉絲捐書，就取得良好的效果，捐了佔全檳州圖書館內逾10%的華文書籍；他希望來年能夠繼續與本報共同推動捐書運動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，第一次推動的捐書運動就豐富了檳州圖書館的中文藏書量，已成為一個重要的起點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他說，隨著捐書運動的華文書籍全上架後，詩不朗再也檳州圖書館內的華文書架也增加了一倍，即從原有的3個，增加至目前的6個。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;明年撥款給圖書館購書&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉也強調，圖書館內的書籍應該多元化，以應付各讀者的需求；並表示明年將會撥款給圖書館購買更多的書籍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他也表示會繼續贊助檳州的作家出版書籍，及徵求作家捐書給圖書館讓人民閱讀。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他還向蘇克莉雅建議，應該將華文書籍送到各監獄及少年感化院，讓少年囚犯能夠多讀點書。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;蘇克莉雅回應一旦監獄及少年感化院有此要求，圖書館肯定會配合，而目前大多數都只是要求馬來文書籍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉也感謝星洲日報讀者和大北馬面子書粉絲，慷慨的捐出好書。（星洲日報／大北馬）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

   ■天德園大道擴建工程最遲在明年初竣工。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（檳城29日訊）天德園大道首階段擴建工程已接近完工，目前已鋪上瀝青，預料今年尾或明年初就能完成。&lt;br /&gt;檳州行政議員兼阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉說，天德園大道擴建工程分成兩大階段，首階段工程進度相當順利，如無意外將在明年初竣工與通車。首階段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。&lt;br /&gt;第二階段工程是靠近天德園大道左轉入峇都蘭章巷一帶，需要兩年時間完成。這工程由發展商OHM集團承建，該公司正在當地發展公寓與排屋計劃。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從4條車道擴至6條車道&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他披露，加寬後的天德園大道將從原本的4條車道擴展至6條車道，而且，以後從峇都蘭章巷要左轉進入天德園大道不再有交通燈，車輛可直接左轉。&lt;br /&gt;他指出，基於天德園大道擴建之後，車流量和車速將會增加，為了防止不幸事件，當局也將在大道中間安裝分界堤。&lt;br /&gt;對於大道旁居民不滿加寬後的馬路太靠近住宅的問題，黃漢偉說，大道旁的單層排屋早在60年代已興建，翻開市政局圖測紀錄，當地房屋曾經進行擴建。&lt;br /&gt;“天德園大道是在90年代，因應發林新市鎮的發展而興建，如果當初這些房屋沒有擴建，就不會出現住宅過於靠近大道的情況。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論如何，他說當局將在路旁安裝防撞欄杆，避免發生意外。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雨量多沒水災 天德園治水計劃奏效&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;黃漢偉指出，天德園早在90年代曾經發生大水災，但最近這兩個月，降雨量雖然驚人，但當地並沒有發生水災，這功歸於州政府的治水計劃奏效。&lt;br /&gt;他說，州政府經常指示水利灌溉局挖深弄浪河，同時，發展商也配合州政府整頓當地的溝渠及興建一個地下蓄水池。&lt;br /&gt;“我相信是上述一系列的防範工程，使天德園的淹水情況獲得改善。”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- CounterData.com Code START --&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.counterdata.com/" title="Free Counters" target="_blank" style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
