Drain Cleanup Exercises in Bandar Tun Razak

Drain Cleanup Exercises in Bandar Tun Razak Constituency by Alam Flora and Kuala Lumpur City Hall


MCA Bandat Run Razak Chief Datuk Chew Yin Keen announced that the Alam Flora and Kuala Lumpur City Hall have begun the drain cleanup work in Bandar Tun Razak earlier this month to ensure the drainage system in the constituency works properly.

He pointed out that the authorities are using water jet in the cleaning works, and a clean drainage system will prevent clogging and the infestation of mosquitoes and rats.

In this statement he said the cleaning works take a few stages to complete. The current completed zones are Taman Dahlia and Bukit Anggerik and then be followed by Taman Ikan Emas, Sri Johor, Taman Len Sen, Bukit Cheras, Taman Tenaga, Taman Orkid Desa, Taman Connaught etc.

"The local authorities will clean up the drains around the shops and markets. If residents found any drains that need repair, please contact us and the repair will be done in about two months."

He pointed out that MCA BTR service centre had consulted with Alam Flora and Kuala Lumpur City Hall in carrying out the cleanup exercise after receiving numerous complaints from the local residents about the disrepairs.

"As Bandar Tun Razak constituency is home to 250,000 population, the cleanup plan will be a taunting task."

2014年國慶日獻詞

國慶日獻詞


全世界最近面對陸續而至的天災人禍，奪走不計其數的性命，在大馬踏入第57週年之際，我希望國人可以團結一致共赴時艱，克服目前與未來的種種挑戰與艱難。

國家無論任何時候，都面對著各種挑戰，包括全球化的糧食危機，油價暴漲導致百物起價以及通貨膨脹等連鎖反應；國內所面對的極端分子挑釁種族和諧、宗教和睦，都不是容易解決的困擾。

但是，我們相信，在國人團結一致的情況下，當政府的后盾，將會盡其所能，採取必要措施，問題必會迎刃而解。

我相信，長遠來看，大馬已在朝先進國發展的正確軌道上，上半年大馬取得6.4%的經濟成長率；不過奮鬥的路還很漫長，我們仍有許多地方需要努力。

外在的因素往往不在我們控制的範圍，內在因素，如包容體諒，去異求存，合作努力，我們卻可以控制並實行。

我們要追上先進國的腳步，便要有更完善教育制度，實踐廉政、媒體透明度、加強國家機構如國會、司法等，以便我們的競爭能力提升。

另一項全民的意願，當然包括希望馬來西亞能夠繼續壯大、繁榮和公平對待各族人民，維護憲法至上的精神及捍衛司法獨立。

在國慶日到來前，我們再一次省思，我們要發揮愛國精神，落實這個國家獨立的真正意義。

馬來西亞都殷切期盼在未來的50年內，可以看到一個民主、平等、自由、各族不分彼此分享國家資源、全民攜手共同建設的馬來西亞。

最后，祝願大馬人國慶日快樂。

National Day Message 2014

National Day Message

As we celebrating our 57th Merdeka anniversary, we must stay together and unite as one to face any hardships and challenges, both internally and externally such as externally, the global food crisis, oil price hike which put pressure on price of goods and inflation, air disasters, wars and internally extremists trying to stir racial and religious tension.

Despite all that, we, Malaysian, stay united and the people's support the Government effort to solve the problems faced by the country especially the tragic of MH 370 and MH 17.

The Government has managed well our economy that it was grown 6.4% for the 2nd quarter of this year, despite of the challenging global economic environment. We are doing better than our neighbors. Keep it up and we will able to achieve high income nation by 2020.

In addition. I believe Malaysia is on the right track to achieve developed nation status by 2020. But we still have to improve in many areas. For example a better education system, good governance, transparency and accountability in public spending, strengthen Government delivery system, improved infrastructure and strengthen the transportation system are very important area as it will assist in increasing our global competitiveness.

Beside these, the NGOs, political parties and politicians should be stopped from provoking racial sentiments for self-interest. Peace and harmony should be returned in this beautiful country.

We want a democratic, equal and free Malaysia in which we coexist and share wealth as well as appreciate and respect each other’s culture and religion.

Together we united as one and can make our country a better place to live for all.

Lastly, may God bless Malaysians and Happy Merdeka Day.

兒童肥胖問題

大馬肥胖者不斷增加，據衛生部調查研究報告顯示，大馬兒童在2011

年面對癡肥症的問題，在東南亞高居榜首，顯示癡肥症問題在大馬相當

嚴重。

  父母應該了解到，肥胖孩子問題多，雖然中國人有“胖就是福”的傳統

觀念，但事實是“胖就是禍”。

  國內兒童肥胖的情形愈來愈多，雖肥胖的原因雖然眾多，但吃多動少

是最容易造成肥胖癥的因素。

  肥胖兒童在健康上的問題重重，最主要的問題包括呼吸不順、心臟功

能不佳、血管循環不好、肺活量不足、新陳代謝失調、運動傷害等。

  肥胖不再只是成人擔憂的問題，因著速食文化以及生活型態的改變，

現代兒童肥胖比率也日益升高，最新的調查發現，國小學童有許多都面

對過重、肥胖的問題；兒童肥胖就像慢性病一樣，是需要長期抗戰的，

家長和孩子一起努力對抗肥胖，才會有事半功倍的效果。

  據估計，全世界5歲到17歲的學齡兒童則至少有1成是過重或肥胖，而

這數據也於近年逐漸升高。以美國為例，6到18歲的兒童與青少年過重

或肥胖的比例從1970年代的15%已上升至1990年的25%。

  最重要是，肥胖的兒童時常會面對心理挫折感，他們在同輩中常常是

被取笑的角色，因為本身體型笨重不靈活，自幼心理即會蒙上自卑感，

對其日後心理的健康發展不利。 

  最近，教育部推行“一學生一運動”計劃，以減低癡肥症問題，而運動

應持之以恆，同學放學後可幫忙做家務，以達到運動效果。

  除了在學校，家長要多讓孩子參與運動，特別是培養他們從小做起，

讓他們了解到運動及學業一樣重要，都是為了奪標，要定下目標，才有

前進動力。

  運動除了鍛煉身體，也可培養團體精神，如湯姆斯杯羽球賽，人民不

分種族支持選手，體現了國人團結理念。

  鼓勵孩子多參與運動，以加強孩子堅持的態度，堅持到底的體現體育

精神。

Children Obesity

Children Obesity

Obesity is a growing problem in Malaysia. According to a study in 2011 by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia has the highest child obesity in South East Asia. Child obesity is a serious problem in Malaysia.

There may be many causes of obesity, but improper diet and lack of exercise are the main causes. The symptoms of obesity include shortness of breath, poor cardiac function, poor blood circulation, poor vital capacity, metabolism disorder, sport injury etc.

Obesity is no longer an adult problem and child obesity is growing day by day thanks to fast food culture and changing lifestyle. A recent study has revealed a worrying obesity trend among primary school children. Child obesity is a chronic problem which requires a long term solution, the co-operation of parents and children are important to achieve result.

It is estimated that at least one tenth of the children age from 5 to 17 are obese and the numbers are increasing. For example, in the US obesity in children of age 6 to 18 has increased to 25% in 1990 from 15% in 1970.

The 1Student 1Sport Policy implemented by the Ministry of Education is aimed to reduce child obesity problem. Sport requires discipline and perseverance. The parents must impose on their child to help out in house chores as a mean of exercise.

Parents should encourage their children to participate in sports outside the school. We must implement to our children the importance of sports to our health and mental development. It is equally important as academic achievement.

Besides increased physical fitness, sports can also instil team spirit as displayed in sport events such as Thomas Cup where everyone cheers and stands behind the sportsmen irrespective of race.

Let’s encourage our children to participate in sports to instil in them the importance of sport to our health and mental development as well as a form of reducing stress.

Equally, a healthy adult and/or child also must take up sport or exercise to maintain their good state of health and physical exercise will keep the doctor away.

馬航MH 17

在短短132天內，馬航發生兩宗空難慘劇，先是MH370，接著是MH17，我在此向在空難中罹難的死者家人致哀。

 MH17在烏克蘭和俄羅斯衝突地區不幸被擊落，此事件需要國際各方的努力和共識來順利解決，更需要獨立和深入的調查以揭曉MH17悲慘遭遇的真相，把這場令人髮指的屠殺事件中的肇事者繩之以法。

 這兩宗案件的發生，對馬來西亞來說是黑暗的，同時也是遇難者家屬最艱難的時刻。

 我認為，政府必須要有一個由高層次人員所組成的調查組，包括我國和其他相關機構，並納入外國的專家，以全方位各角度展開調查。

 目前，它已被確認是被擊落，政府如今要確保殺人兇徒，最終會被制裁，才是最好的賠償。

 無論是誰，有任何的目的，或是意外地擊落民航客機，都是個不可以被原諒的錯誤，身為馬來西亞人的我們，要的只是真相；罹難者的家屬需要的是真正的正義。

 全馬人民在這時，不分政黨不分你我，作為政府的后盾，確保烏克蘭與俄羅斯不會干涉調查工作。

 我們現在是最需要發揮“一個馬來西亞”精神的時候了，我們必需團結。

 身為公眾，我們也要負責，不要通過互聯網來傳達未被證實的消息與謠言，更重要是照片也不應該被宣染，因為這樣只會對家人造成二度傷害，對調查工作更是于事無補。

 我們能做的，只是關心及為他們祈禱。

MH 17

MH17

Dalam 132 hari sahaja, MAS telah berlaku dua tragedi nahas kapaL terbang, MH 370 pertama, diikuti dengan MH 17. Di sini, saya ingin menyatakan rasa simpati dan mengucapkan takziah terhadap ahli keluarga mangsa.

 

  MH17 telah ditembak jatuh di kawasan konflik di Ukraine. Insiden ini memerlukan kerjasama pihak antarabangsa untuk menyelesaikan tragedi ini. Pasukan penyiasat bebas perlu ditubuh untuk menyiasat dan mendedah sebab MH 17 ditembak jatuh dan membawa pembunuh beramai-ramai ini ke muka pengadilan,

 

Kedua-dua tragedi yang berlaku merupakan malapetaka besar  kepada Malaysia dan keluarga mangsa kini juga menghadapi saat yang paling sukar.

 

Saya berpendapat, kerajaan perlu menubuhkan jawatankuasa siasatan khas peringkat kabinet dan berkerjasama dengan pakar-pakar dari luar untuk menjalankan siasatan yang lebih terperinci.

 

Setakat ini, MH 17 dikenal pasti telah ditembak jatuh, maka kerajaan harus memastikan pembunuh dibawa ke muka pengadilan dan dijatuh hukuman yang setimpal.

 

 Tidak kira apa sebab,  siapa atau dengan tidak sengaja menembak pesawat awam atau kesilapan itu adalah tidak dapat diterima atau dimaafkan. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, kami kehendakkan kebenaran dan harus menuntut keadilan kepada mangsa.

 

Semua rakyat Malaysia tidak kira bangsa atau parti perlu memberi sokongan kepada  kerajaan Malaysia agar Ukraine dan Rusia tidak mengganggu siasatan tragedi ini.  

 

 Inilah masa kita bersatu padu dan  mempamerkan semangat “Satu Malaysia”untuk menghadapi tragedy ini.

Sebagai rakyat, kita juga harus bertanggungjawab agar tidak menyebar maklumat yang belum disahkan di laman web. Selain itu, pengguna siber juga tidak harus menyebarkan gambar-gambar mangsa kerana ia akan mengaibkan keluarga arwah serta menjejaskan kerja-kerja siasatan. Apa yang harus kita lakukan ialah berdoa dan menjaga perasan keluarga mereka.
