Ting said the event will be officiated by Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, with all of the programmes arranged by MCC. He urged members of the public to participate in the programme by switching off non-essential lights. “This is voluntary to show our care for the Earth and our commitment in addressing climate change issue. There is no forcing, but if you can, turn off the lights. “I would also like to call upon parents to teach their children the symbolic act because climate change is real,” he said. Ting added that SMC was the first in Sarawak to start the Earth Hour campaign in 2010, which came to a halt in 2020 and 2021 due to the Movement Control Order (MCO). In 2022, the campaign was carried out virtually. Also present at the press conference was SMC deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley.

Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian will be the guest of honour,” he told a press conference at Wisma Sanyan here, yesterday (Mar 20). He urged the public to support the SMC initiative by switching off lights for one hour from 8.30 to 9.30 pm, especially decorative lights and neon signs for advertising, both at home and in office buildings. “This campaign is for anyone committed to making our planet a better place for current and future generations. I urge parents to involve their children in this initiative to raise awareness,” he added. Ting also said they would request electricity usage data from Sarawak Energy to monitor the programme’s impact. “We will tell the public how much energy we managed to reduce during the one-hour period,” he said.

Roofing works in progress at Bukit Lima swimming pool. – Photo by Peter Boon SIBU (Jan 12): The keenly-awaited proposed retrofitting and covered outdoor learning area (COLA) of Bukit Lima swimming pool here, costing about RM2.92 million, is expected to be completed by mid-May. According to Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley, the six-month project is funded and implemented by Sarawak Sports Corporation (SSC). The project commenced on Nov 15 and is expected to be completed by May 15. “The venue had been used to hold swimming competitions. “Training sessions for athletes would no longer be disrupted in the event of poor weather after the project was completed,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday when asked about the roofing project for this swimming pool. Izkandar recalled that the request for a roof had been brought up by local swimmers over the years. “Currently, the pool is off-limits to the public until completion. “The pool will continue to be maintained by the council throughout the construction,” he said. He added that the Delta swimming pool, one of the two pools here, was used more for recreational pool and swim training than swimming competitions. “Competitive swimming has not yet taken place at Delta swimming pool since it is mostly used for public swimming and swim training,” Izkandar said. Meanwhile, Sibu Amateur Swimming Association (Sasa) president Tony Hii welcomed the latest development at Bukit Lima swimming pool. “Once completed, it will definitely benefit Sasa swimmers, as we can have more sessions for training and more flexibility in our training schedule,” Hii said. “Once it is completed, Sasa swimmers will definitely benefit from having additional training sessions and scheduling flexibility,” Hii said.

Council deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley said during an inspection today, many dogs were seen roaming freely in residential areas. “I hope all dog owners are responsible in taking care of their pets. “If dog owners are unable to control their pets responsibly, best to keep them inside the property and either neutering or spaying pets to control the number of dogs in their possession. “If unable to do all the above, better not adopt one at all,” he said in a Facebook post. Citing the Local Authorities Ordinance 1996 – Local Authorities (Dog Licensing and Control By-Laws), 2018, Izkandar said all owners must get licences for their dogs and produce evidence of rabies vaccination when requested. He added pets with licences must use a dog collar. According to him, the maximum number of dogs permitted in a landed property is three, while those in flats, apartments, or buildings with more than two floors can only have one small breed dog. He cautioned that those found contravening the by-laws can be fined up to RM2,000.

Renovation works in progress for the Dayak Food Court Centre. – Photo by Peter Boon SIBU (Dec 3): The RM700,000 Dayak Food Court Centre renovation works here is expected to be fully completed by May this year, said Councillor Augustine Merikan. The Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) Market and Petty Traders Standing Committee deputy chairman said that renovation works to convert the existing Permai Lake Garden Food Court into Dayak Food Court Centre started in mid-December last year. “The renovation process was supposed to kick start this month (January). However, in anticipation of the coming Gawai Dayak celebration, SMC chairman Cr Clarence Ting had urged the contractor to start the renovation earlier. “The renovation work has started since Dec 15 last year, and is progressing smoothly,” he said. “We are expecting it to be completed before our Gawai Dayak celebration this year. “It’s a gift to the Dayak community and a landmark market for SMC,” he added. Augustine revealed that the current proposal is for the food court to be able to accommodate 11 stalls comprising food and drink stalls. “Yes, it will be the first Dayak food Court in Sibu. “We hope this food court will be one of the tourist attractions in the central region,” he said. He said the council also hoped that this food court would draw crowds, in particular food lovers, craving for Dayak delicacies.

He said this is because those plants which are not maintained regularly by the council pose dangers to road users. “Cutting of coconut trees is just the initial tree clearing exercise as the (falling) coconuts pose danger to road users and cause clogging of drains in culverts. “Eventually, all non-council trees, unmaintained landscapes or any other type of plantings on council road verge to be removed by phases as it causes obstruction of traffic views, causing water ponding on road surfaces, obstructing street lightings and trees overgrown into utility overhead cables,” he said in a Facebook post today after an inspection around the council’s jurisdiction. Meanwhile, when contacted, Izkandar said other trees beside coconut trees that obstruct traffic views, especially at junctions, will also be removed immediately for road users’ safety. “Those trees even though they are not coconut trees, if obstructing traffic view – that one will be removed as well, immediately. “This is because they obstruct traffic views especially at junctions,” he said.

Another project to be carried out this year is the renovation of Rejang Park commercial centre. “We want to ensure that the new Sungai Merah market will be open on Feb 25,” said Ting. He said the public library, currently being renovated, would reopen in the first half of 2024. Last year, SMC won 10 awards, he said. He also congratulated the Sibu council staff for working late into the night following a freak storm in April to clear roads of 25 fallen trees. Sarawak Public Health, Housing and Local Government Deputy Minister Datuk Michael Tiang urged SMC to step up its services in line with Sarawak’s aim to become a developed state by 2030. “For Sibu not to be left behind, we need the local council to come together with Sarawak leaders to march forward in unison.” He said SMC, which was one of the best performing councils in the state, needed to rise up to the challenge.
