KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said it was monitoring three of the four wireless 4G Broadband Internet service (WiMAX) providers who have failed to achieve the 25 percent targetted market penetration.

Deputy Minister of Information Communication and Culture Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said from March 2008 to March 2009, the three companies had failed to achieve the target and can be fined.

“However, the fine will depend on their implementation process and consideration of MCMC. Right now, MCMC is considering their appeal,” he told the Dewan Rakyat here Thursday when answering a question by Jeff Ooi Chuan Aun (DAP-Jelutong) who wanted to know the WiMAX penetration level and failure by companies to achieve the target.

He added that the government was ready to withdraw the licences of companies that failed to deliver the target, including Asiaspace Sdn Bhd.

“Although the target has not been met, all four companies have shown an improved performance since March 2009. Asiaspace had achieved 18 percent penetration level by Sept 30, last year,” he said.

Meanwhile, to an additional question by Salleh Kalbi (BN-Silam) who wanted to know the government’s broadband initiative for Sabah and Sarawak, Joseph said the ministry through MCMC had issued licences to two companies but the target has not been met.

“As of Sept 30, there was only 14 coverage in Sabah and 24.83 percent in Sarawak. The ministry has also issued a licence to P1 which had shown an impressive performance in the peninsular. They (P1) will role out a plan for the two states soon,” he said.

Berita ni merupakan tamparan hebat buat UMNO-BN

Sebenarnya masa saya kat Sarawak baru-baru ni pun sempat bersembang dengan beberapa orang sana yang turut mengakui Sarawak masih belum dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh kerajaan Malaysia.

Maksudnya mereka masih lagi ada pertalian dengan British dan memang sekali sekala pihak British akan datang ke Sarawak untuk membuat pemantauan dan mengambil tahu hal2 mereka… mungkin orang Sarawak sendiri boleh menjelaskan perkara ini….

Push for Sabah, S’wak’s independence: Next stop UN Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:54

By Athi Shankar

GEORGE TOWN: A group of prominent politicians and social activists from East Malaysia are seriously contemplating pulling out Sabah and Sarawak from the Federation of Malaysia.

They are planning to take up their case to the United Nations to hold a referendum on the status of the Borneo states as independent nations.

They no longer want their states to be under the clutches of the Umno-led Putrajaya administration.

The group has already sought legal advice from the international community to explore all orderly and democratic means to legally declare Sabah and Sarawak as separate sovereign states.

Sources said the group was keen to avoid any civil unrest, bloodshed and armed conflict with the central government, features usually associated with separatist movements.

“They want to resolve the pressing issue by peaceful and civilised means,” said the source.

It’s learnt that about seven representatives from the group met London-based Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairman P Waytha Moorthy in Indonesia early this week to discuss the matter.

Sources close to the group said the activists sought Waytha Moorthy’s help to facilitate their imminent representation in the UN.

It’s learnt that Waytha Moorthy had agreed to assist them, with the help of several influential international organisations.

Waytha Moorthy recently facilitated a group of activists to air their grouses and grievances against the federal government at the UK Parliament.

‘Systematic looting and plundering’

The group of activists are deeply perturbed by the federal government’s alleged violations of the states’ rights, interests and benefits for more than four decades since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.

“The group is angry over the systematic looting and plundering of the states’ wealth by Umno and its cronies,” said a source.

Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore formerly joined Malaysia in 1963. However, Singapore left the Federation in 1965.

The Sabah and Sarawak activists believe that just like Singapore, their states too can pull out from Malaysia.

Sabah and Sarawak are two natural resources rich provinces in Malaysia, with massive wealth potentials in oil reserves and forestry.

However, Sabahans and Sarawakians are convinced that they have remained poor due to the federal government’s “manipulation and usurpation” of their power to self-determine their own affairs.

Unhappy over petro dollars

They are crying foul over the mere five percent royalty cut received for their own oil, while the Putrajaya administration “steals” 95 percent of petro dollars.

“People from both Sabah and Sarawak realise that they are being short-changed. They know there has been daylight robbery of their god-given richness,” said a source.

Another contentious issue is the existence of an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrants as rightful citizens in Sabah.

Sabahans termed the illegal immigrants, mostly Filipino and Indonesian Muslims, as former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s legacy.

“The government since under Mahathir has systematically brought in these aliens and granted them citizenships. These aliens are now legal MyKad holders in Sabah. It’s absolutely outrageous and ludicrous,” said the source.

The illegal immigrant issue in Sarawak is not as disturbing as in Sabah although it is equally damaging.

‘Raping of forest wealth’

The major issue in Sarawak is the “raping of state forest wealth” by the Umno-backed Taib Mahmud’s government at the expense of the indigenous population.

The natives are also disgruntled by the usurpation of their customary land rights by the authorities despite a recent apex court ruling against it.

Sabahans and Sarawakians are also said to be peeved with the “Malay-nisation and Islamisation” process of their states’ bureaucracy and political systems.

Activists claimed that the federal government had appointed native Muslims to helm various ministerial portfolios and government departments to hasten and fasten this process.

“These Muslim leaders and bureaucratic heads are puppets dancing to the tune played by their masters in Putrajaya,” said the source.

Masuk hari ke-2 kami di Kuching, Sarawak…

Sebenarnya sekarang ni tengah musim hujan… dan dengar berita… kat Sabah dah banjir dan bah… teruk jugak lah kat Sabah sana… nasib baik lah kat Kuching ni masih ok tak sampai banjir macam tu…

Ya Allah… permudahkanlah perjalanan kami selama kami di Kuching, Sarawak ni…

Alhamdulillah… pagi ni tak hujan… cuaca nampaknya sangat baik…. mungkin Allah kabulkan jugak doa kami agaknya… dapat jugak lah kami berjalan… tengok2 tempat orang….

Kami bercadang nak pegi melawat Kampung Budaya pagi ni… org cakap kalau tak pegi Kg Budaya bila dah sampai Kuching, Sarawak ni macam tak sah… serupa macam tak pegi Kuching, Sarawak…

So pagi tu selepas sarapan pagi di hotel kami pun bertolak lah ke Kampung Budaya…

Perjalanan mengambil masa dalam 45 minit dari hotel kami… kiri kanan banyak kawasan paya bakau dan boleh nampak Gunung Santubong sebab Kampung Budaya ni letaknya di kaki Gunung Santubong…

Kampung Budaya ni ada 7 rumah kesemuanya yang mewakili 7 kaum terbesar di Sarawak yang kaya dengan adat dan budaya mereka… disebabkan Sarawak ni kaya dengan pelbagai adat dan budaya kaum2 di dalamnya… so diujudkan lah Kampung Budaya ni… tujuannya untuk memudahkan pelancong2 mengenali kaum2 di Sarawak ni dgn lebih mudah dan menjimatkan masa… so kalau ada kesempatan lagi boleh lah lawat kampung diorang yg betul2… yg real… so sementara ni kita ‘browse thru’ aje lah dulu…

Kampung Budaya ni ada 7 rumah kesemuanya…

1. Rumah Bidayuh
2. Rumah Iban
3. Rumah Penan
4. Rumah Orang-Ulu
5. Rumah Melayu
6. Rumah Cina
7. Rumah Melanau

ada sesetengah rumah ni berpenghuni tetap… yang ada sampai 20 tahun tinggal kat area sini pun ada…. tak tau pulak masa tu Kg Budaya ni dah ada ke belum… mungkin sebab mereka dah ada di sini lebih awal lagi… so pihak pengurusan pun membenarkan mereka tinggal… agaknya lah kot…

maka bermulalah eksplorasi kami di Kampung Budaya…

Mula2 kami ke Rumah Melayu… masa kami sampai… mereka pun tengah bersemangat buat tarian joget… yang perempuan ketuk gendang… yang lelaki berjoget…

di dalam rumah ini juga dipamerkan balai untuk pasangan yang baru berkahwin…

di dapur pula… org pompuan tgh sibuk buat kuih…

Kemudian kami ke Rumah Melanau… agak tinggi jugak rumah ni… dan agak gelap suasana kat dalam dia… serta banyak bilik…

Lepas Rumah Melanau kami ke Rumah Orang-Ulu pulak… Rumah Orang-Ulu lebih tinggi dari Rumah Melanau… tengok lah tangganya pun sampai 3 tingkat…

dan macam biasa… mummy terpaksa kena tinggal kat bawah lagi… kali ni nasib baik mummy ada kawan yang senasib dgn dia… sama2 pakai kerusi roda…

yang si ayam ni pulak macam faham2 je kami nak masuk rumah dia… bukan main lagi dia berkokok… macam nak sambut kitorang masuk rumah je…

dan yang pemain sapek ni pulak… driver kami bagitau…. dia dah terkenal sampai ke peringkat antarabangsa sebagai pemain sapek… kalau tak silap siap dah pernah sampai ke Hollywood… mungkin sebab takde org lain yang boleh main sapek sepandai dia agaknya…

dan kami teruskan lagi perjalanan sampai kat Rumah Penan… rasanya cerita2 pasal kaum Penan ni pun dah banyak keluar TV… so mungkin lah boleh bayangkan macam mana diorang ni kot? Kaum Penan dan Rumah Penan ni boleh lah dikatakan sebagai kaum yang paling simple kehidupan dia… rumah pun simple gile… kecik je tepi jeram…

kat Rumah Penan ni juga sempat lah saya mencuba sumpit… maklum lah murah je… 3 kali cuba RM1… bila lagi nak mencuba kan? dah cuba baru tau… bukan mudah rupa2nya nak menyumpit ni…

pukul 11:30 pagi akan ada performance dari wakil2 suku kaum masing2 di theatre atau auditorium tertutup yang disediakan… tapi jam baru pukul 11… masih sempat lagi kalau nak lawat 1 lagi rumah… dan kami pun sampai lah ke Rumah Iban… tapi disebabkan masa yang suntuk… kami tak masuk… cuma tengok dari luar je…

dalam perjalanan kami terserempak dengan satu kumpulan pelancong/pelawat yang ada tourist guide sama2 dgn mereka… so kami pun ambil kesempatan dengar cerita2 dari tourist guide tersebut…

antara yang menarik ialah penerangan tentang patung ni…

apa yang menarik tentang patung ni ialah ia dipercayai oleh kaum Iban sebagai ‘penjaga’ rumah mereka dari anasir2 yang tidak baik… dulu sebelum mereka ada agama… mereka mempercayai jika ada sesiapa yang berniat tidak baik untuk masuk ke rumah ini maka mereka akan pengsan betul2 di hadapan patung ini dan kaum Iban akan terus pancung / sembelih sesiapa sahaja yang mereka jumpa jatuh di tempat berdekatan patung ini… cukup mengerikan…

Okay… jam dah pukul 11 lebih… kami pun teruskan perjalanan ke auditorium… nak tengok live performance cultural show…. rumah lain2 boleh tengok lepas cultural show…

(bersambung…)

Pada 15hb, Jumaat lepas, saya bersama isteri serta papa dan mummy… tak lupa si kecil Solehin telah berpeluang bercuti ke Kuching, Sarawak…

Pegi sana sebab dapat voucher percutian dari Cintai Holliday Malaysia…  dan combine dgn tiket government wife… so kitorang merge dua tiket ni dapat tukar jadi apartment…

Kami bertolak 15hb ari tu jam 11 pagi flight ke Kuching dari KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) naik Malaysia Airline (MAS)…

terima kasih kat Abg Radhi dan Kak Ti sebab tolong hantar kami ke airport

Kami sampai airport Kuching, Sarawak dalam lebih kurang jam 1 macam tu…

Alhamdulillah… sampai jugak kami ke Merdeka Palace… hotel yang akan kami tinggal selama 4 hari 3 malam selama kami di Kuching, Sarawak ni… hotel ni berkonsepkan ekslusif sesuai dengan namanya Merdeka Palace… taraf 4 bintang… Alhamdulillah… merasa jugak lah duduk hotel mahal macam ni sebab guna voucher… kalau nak belanja sendiri… 4 hari 3 malam pulak tu… ntah bila lah agaknya berpeluang macam ni… syukur Alhamdulillah…

Malam tu… saya sempat call Pian Razak (GlobalTent ialah ID dia dalam forum CariGold) dia ni jugak salah seorang admin/mod dalam forum CariGold… sempat jugak lah mengeteh dgn dia kat salah sebuah hotel di Kuching, Sarawak ni… dan sempat lah jugak dia bawak jalan2… tengok kedai butik mak dia (Anggun)… kedai kek lapis kawan dia (katanya kawan dia ni mmg betul2 buat kek lapis ni secara komersial sampai berjaya mendapatkan sijil halal… dan kek lapisnya juga menggunakan bahan2 yang bersih lagi halal… bukan sembarangan… boleh dikatakan serba serbi terjaga… so harganya pun… faham2 je lah…)… GlobalTent juga sempat tunjuk Satok… Satok ni ialah pasar awam dan tempat famous utk sesape yang minat dgn ikan terubok… aku tak berapa minat sangat… so just lalu dan tengok tempat je lah… lagi pun dah lewat malam dan takde org niaga pun… dan sebelum balik… on the way nak beli makanan ringan semasa kat hotel nanti… GlobalTent sempat jugak tunjukkan TopSpot… TopSpot ni terkenal dgn sea food dia… Insya Allah ada kesempatan mmg nak kami bercadang nak pegi…
