莫澤浩 : 柔新長堤下擬建排水道可讓長堤兩旁水質變得更乾淨

28/05/2010 新山市長莫哈末加化透露，在新山市區轉型計劃下，柔州政府擬在柔新長堤底下興建排水道，使此區水域自然流通，以提昇地不佬海峽的水質。市長也說，柔州政府也計劃在柔新長堤的大馬入境處設立一個具標誌性的牌坊（Pintu Ikonik）。新山市政局週四（5月27日）早上舉行第5次常月會議，市長在會上透露這兩項仍處於“建議”階段的計劃。

市長表示，首相拿督斯里納吉5月22日走訪新山市區時，新山市政局為首相進行了一項“新山市區轉型計劃藍圖”匯報。他說，當時，首相對這些由柔州政府所擬議的發展監圖表示同意，這當中就包括：在柔新長堤底下建造排水道，以及在大馬入境處建立牌坊。他繼說，與上述計劃有關的是，首相當天也宣佈從中央政府撥出2億令吉，以淨化遭嚴重污染的紗玉河，讓這條河變身為新山的“威尼斯水都”，成為遊客必到之處。他表示，新山市區的多項發展計劃，包括紗玉河淨化工程，皆由馬來西亞依斯干達發展局負責執行，待淨化工程結束後，當局將為紗玉河掀蓋。媒體會後欲詢問市長有關在長堤底下建排水道，以及設置牌坊的計劃詳情，市長通過公關表示首相已同意這些計劃，惟市長現階段不方便公佈詳情，因此婉拒媒體訪問。

士都蘭區州議員莫澤浩受詢時說，其實，州政府一直以來有在討論和建議興建排水道，惟尚未有最後的定案和詳情。莫澤浩透露，在初步討論結果，排水道將建在柔新長堤靠近舊關卡的下方。由於興建之處屬於大馬境內，因此，不用取得新加坡政府同意。他說，在長堤底下建造排水道，可讓長堤兩旁的士都蘭海、麗都海的海水流通，讓水質變得更乾淨。此外，關於在長堤大馬入境處設立牌坊一事，他說，設立一個具地標性的牌坊，為的是提昇大馬形象，讓遊客對大馬留下好印象。不過，他說，有關牌坊的設計圖還沒出來。

Mok Chek Hou shares health tip with rakyat 世界爱笑日400人“笑”出健康

06/05/2010 They were beside themselves, cracking each other up as they shared side-splitting humour in the name of World Laughter Day. Calling themselves the JB Laughers, they held a laughing clinic on Sunday which lasted about 30 minutes. At least 400 people took part in the event that left them in stitches. To get participants laughing, a “lion exercise” was conducted where participants made funny faces. Mouth exercises were held to teach them how to laugh loudly. There were also clowns. JB Laughers member Fung Lee Jean said the clinic was to celebrate World Laughter Day. “This is an annual event for us and it has been well received by members of the public. Last year, it was held in Setia Tropika. “We are hoping to work with the local authorities and state Tourism Department to promote this event and make it bigger,” she said. Fung said performing the laughing exercise would also help burn calories faster. Stulang assemblyman Mok Chek Hou, who launched the event, called on people to join such an exercise. “I will also meet with state Tourism and Domestic Trade Committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang and hopefully we can get this event into the state tourism calendar. “This is a very good and healthy event where it attracts people in large numbers to just have a laugh,” he said.
