Immigration explains incident involving <b>Sarawak</b> minister <b>...</b>

Posted: 01 Apr 2014 05:52 PM PDT

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Immigration Department has denied claims that Sarawak Land Development Minister Tan Sri Dr James Masing was detained at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA).

Its director, Noor Alam Khan Abdul Wahid Khan, pointed out that the officer on duty at the KKIA immigration counter had only conducted a regular identification screening procedure when he asked Masing to present his identification card to verify his use of the Special Identification document on March 30 at about 6pm.

"It was simply a misunderstanding as the immigration officer on duty was just conducting a documentation screening as he would other passengers' identification cards and passports.

"Although the minister did present his 'Pengenalan Istimewa' (Special Identification) document, it was not immediately explanatory and not all of our officers are used to seeing such documents.

"Hence, our officer had asked him (Masing) to present his identification card," said Noor Alam when contacted here yesterday.

Noor Alam disclosed that the officer on duty during the incident had been contacted and had clarified the situation at that point of time, whereby Masing had presented his Special Identification document to the immigration officer.

Masing was then asked to present his identification card to verify his identity, which is part of the normal procedure, he added.

He said Masing was not detained as he was not brought into a special room at the airport. The incident took place at the immigration counter when Masing was exiting the state and not on entry, as previously reported in the media.

Masing on March 31 was reported as saying that he was detained by Sabah Immigration Officers on March 30 for being mistaken as an imposter.

He had shown his Special Identification document, a special pass used by political representatives and ministers at the counter but was reportedly not allowed in, in the mistaken belief that he was using a fake pass.

The confusion apparently was due to his attire, as Masing was in jeans and tee-shirt.

Masing was quoted as saying that he had a tough time convincing the officers that he was genuine despite his clothing.

"I was detained probably because I was wearing jeans. I did not realise that YBs and ministers must use smart attire in Sabah.

"It was embarrassing. I have to prove that I am James Masing as shown in the identity card," said Masing.

Wilmar supports <b>Sarawak&#39;s</b> growth and development – BorneoPost <b>...</b>

KUCHING: Wilmar International Ltd (Wilmar) remains committed to supporting the growth and development of Sarawak as its 'No deforestation, No peat, and No exploitation' policy will not affect its purchase of palm oil from suppliers who had previously developed tracts of peatland or from smallholders and indigenous communities.

In a statement to The Borneo Post, Wilmar clarified that the new policy only applies to new areas developed after policy announcement on Dec 5, 2013.

"We'd like to reiterate that we remain committed to supporting the growth and development of Sarawak and in all other areas we operate," they told The Borneo Post.

"With respect to smallholders and indigenous communities, we also recognise that they are a critical part of the industry, and that they face unique situations.

"We will be developing a programme in conjunction with various stakeholders to help local smallholders and farmers develop their native customary land responsibly, irrespective of whether it is peatland or not, as we understand that indigenous communities depend on this land for their livelihoods."

The Singaporean-based agribusiness company is currently engaging with suppliers and advising them not to conduct any new peatland clearance.

"We will be ready to offer assistance in the form of technical and financial support to help these farmers towards sustainable development," the group added.

"We recognise that issues (from environmental to social issues) do arise from time to time and that practices fluctuate in reality.

"What is important to us is the long-term commitment of suppliers to proactively address the issues. Our goal is to support our suppliers to tackle the challenges and support the development and strengthening of a responsible and sustainable industry."

Wilmar also said it will continue to build constructive dialogues with stakeholders and industry experts to support suppliers in shifting their operations away from deforestation, peatland development and any exploitation of people and local communities.

The policy, which was declared on Dec 5 after the signing of a memorandum of understanding with global consumer goods leader Unilever, had first sparked criticisms across the state particularly from Sarawak Oil Palm Plantation Owners Association (Soppoa) which called it 'discriminatory and detrimental' to the state's palm oil industry.

Wilmar, which operates Bintulu Edible Oil Plant in Sarawak, purchases about 1.7 million tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) annually from Sarawak.

Golden Bridge puts &#39;perahu tambang&#39; at peril - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:12 PM PDT

KUCHING: The authorities involved in the construction of the Golden Bridge project should take appropriate steps to ensure the heritage of 'perahu tambang' is not 'killed off'.

A random survey yesterday found that parts of the local community had raised their concern for the 'perahu tambang' operators along Kuching Waterfront when the RM35-million pedestrian bridge over Sungai Sarawak is completed.

A quick check at a site in Kuching Waterfront opposite the Old Court House complex revealed that construction of the 400-metre long bridge has started.

According to Kampung Astana Lama resident Hasnan Osman, 40, while the Golden Bridge could improve the state's image, especially Kuching city, ironically it could lead to erosion of a state heritage, the 'perahu tambang' or boats that transport people across the river.

"We have been informed that the 'perahu tambang' is one of the main heritage and tourist attractions of the state, and what I am worried is that the Golden Bridge will slowly kill off this heritage.

"This bridge may beautify the view at Kuching Waterfront, however indirectly it may attract tourists or commuters to use the bridge and this may eat into the main source of income for 'perahu tambang' operators," he said Thursday.

He added that the loss of the 'perahu tambang' heritage would be a setback reminiscent of the loss of the majestic Gantung Bridge for the Kuching folk.

Meanwhile, Kampung Gersik resident and 'ikan terubuk masin' manufacturer Ismadi Pauzi, 35, said the bridge's construction proved that Sarawak was capable of standing alongside other developed countries in the world.

"I don't disagree that upon completion, the bridge would make Sarawak a state with iconic landmarks. However, what is worrying is the fate of boat operators who rely on the ferrying operation as their main source of income for everyday spending.

"Even though the fare is as low as 50 sen, it has been their rice bowl from long before and as far as I know, tourists like to use these 'perahu tambang' to enjoy the view along Sarawak River and the Golden Bridge might spoil the current landmarks of Kuching," he said.

Meanwhile, for Juseiree Jamaludin, 39, and Azniza Azyanny Zakaria, 31, a couple from Kedah, their first step into the city has given them the impression that Sarawak is not a state that is tiresome to visit.

"This is our first visit to Kuching and it is a wonderful experience that we will not forget, and we definitely wish to return here in the future.

"We don't have much background on the Golden Bridge construction that will connect Kuching Waterfront with the Malay villages across the river, but it is definitely a good effort in beautifying the city," they said, adding that tourists who wish to cross the river could choose between walking across the bridge or use the 'perahu tambang'.

Juseiree also hoped that the completion of the bridge would elevate Sarawak in the eyes of the world and expressed his belief that the bridge would attract more visitors to the city.
