SARAWAK LIVE: CM Adenan

Amanah protests Sarawak’s ban on Mat Sabu

Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) today accused the Sarawak Government of violating Article 9 of the Federal Constitution with its decision to bar the party’s president, Mohamad Sabu, from entering the state.

“It is a tragedy when a Malaysian who is also a party president has his movement restricted because of a state’s right and autonomy despite Article 9 guaranteeing an individual’s freedom of movement,” Amanah Vice-President Mujahid Yusof Rawa said in a press conference outside the Dewan Rakyat.

“I am urging Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem to stop his embarrassing act of denying a person’s democratic right to move about,” he added.

Mohamad was turned away by immigration officers when he landed at Sibu airport this morning. He said the only explanation given to him was that the order came from the Chief Minister’s office.

The Amanah President joins several opposition leaders on the Sarawak blacklist. Others who have been barred from the state include Nurul Izzah Anwar, Tian Chua, Zuraida Kamarudin, Teresa Kok and Tony Pua.

At another press conference, Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed said Sarawak had the right to bar individuals from the state and the state government was not obliged to inform his ministry.

“The Immigration Act allows Sarawak to make whatever decision it wants to on this matter,” he said. “The Home Ministry has jurisdiction only in the peninsula.”

PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang also spoke to reporters on the issue. He said members of his party had so far not been barred from Sarawak.

“There have been no restrictions applied to PAS leaders,” he said.-FMT

Winning direct-BN candidate will surely opt for main party

Liu Pow Kam: The direct-BN candidate tingie is not something new. It was previously put to the test under the Taib administration and was proven a success.

James Dawos Mamit contested as a direct-BN candidate in the 1990 general elections in Mambong and won; so did Billy Abit Joo in Hulu Rajang, which he won.

The former joined PBB and the latter, PRS.

Yes, contesting as a direct-BN candidate may be good for people without any affiliation to political parties to join BN.

But there is an issue here. Which party would the winning candidate join?

There is no prize for guessing it right! Of course the candidate would join a dominant BN party which in this case is PBB, thus increasing the party’s seats. And what of the components?

They would certainly feel slighted.

The best solution in the event CM Adenan Satem wishes to go ahead with his BN-direct plan, which he’s most likely to do so, is to discuss with the candidates the party they would join after the election.

If all the parties involved agreed with the candidates’ party choice by all means go ahead and field them. Otherwise, making a decision after polling day will only lead to resentment by the slighted parties.

Roy Gregory: Betul. It's like you are meddling in their business. A leader must be firm and enhance the existing BN spirit and cooperation. Either you are in or you are out. No other candidates except from BN only, please.

Kong Tong Kiong: Yes, be firm as the coalition is for BN components only.

Rahman Yii: For the past 50 odd years under BN, how has Sarawak benefited?

Aaron Ting: Makes no difference to me, they are all there for the money.

Chhoo Lak Thiang: It’s obvious. It’s an attempt to weaken the component parties and strengthen a dominant party. It’s PBB in Sarawak and Umno in Malaya.

Raymond Ang: Just sack Teras and UPP. They are just troublemakers.

Soon Yew Liow: Let’s vote in corruption-free leaders.

Joe Tawie: I am reminded of a slogan on TV; power attracts the worst, corrupt attracts the best!

Activists want cancellation of Baram dam project in black and white

Anti-Baram hydroelectric dam activists are urging Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem to end the uncertainty surrounding the status of the proposed mega dam project by announcing that it will never be built.

"The fact is that the chief minister has never made an official announcement that the Baram dam is being cancelled.

"There is no assurance from the state government that it is cancelled," Peter Kallang, chairman of the environmental group spearheading the campaign to stop the construction of the dam, Save Rivers, said today.

"A moratorium on the dam is not a complete cancellation of the project," he said.

On July 30 last year, Adenan, at the small Baram riverine town of Long Lama, about 100km from Miri, announced the moratorium when addressing protesters at a ceremony to drive the first pile of the bridge that would cross the Baram River.

"What actually happened is that in Long Lama, the chief minister announced that he was willing to listen to those who opposed the dam (just) as he is willing to listen to those who are supporting it," Kallang said.

He said it was important to note that the chief minister had also added that he "had not made his decision on the construction of the Baram dam yet".

He said despite the moratorium, some dam-related activities such as salvage logging, were still ongoing. "It's going on as if in anticipation of the dam's construction," the electrical-engineer-turned-activist said.

Kallang said recent statements made by the Barisan Nasional assemblyman for Telang Usan, Dennis Ngau, on the dam had also added to the confusion.

He advised "politicians who are fighting for their political survival" not to confuse the people by calling the moratorium on the Baram dam a complete cancellation of the project.

"The cancellation is only real when it is in black and white and the gazette for the dam site and the reservoir is revoked." The dam, if built, could submerge an area of around 400 sq km and displace about 20,000 ethnic tribes people, resulting in the extinction of tree and arthropod species.

A study by the University of California on the direct impact on biodiversity from the clearing and flooding of forest lands, to prepare the state's three mega hydroelectric dams in Bakun, Murum and Baram, said it could leave four tree and 35 arthropod species extinct.

The study entitled "Integrated Long-term Energy Planning for Rapidly Developing Economies: A Case Study of Megaprojects in Borneo" also said "at least" 331 bird species and 164 mammal species would be affected by the land clearing and flooding.

Sarawak plans to build up to 12 dams to generate the electricity needed by industries in its Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) industrial belt which stretches from Mukah in central Sarawak to Bintulu in the northern part of the state. –Malaysian Insider

Kerajaan Sarawak utamakan kebajikan semua rakyat

MIRI: Cadangan menurunkan kadar cukai taksiran hartanah oleh kerajaan negeri menunjukkan kerajaan negeri mengutamakan kebajikan rakyat.

Datuk Bandar Majlis Bandaraya Miri (MBM) Lawrence Lai berharap lebih banyak berita baik akan diumumkan Ketua Menteri Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem dalam meringankan beban rakyat.

“Ini menunjukkan kerajaan negeri sememangnya mendahulukan rakyat.

“Ini bukan sahaja berita baik untuk penduduk Miri tetapi semua rakyat Sarawak,” katanya ketika ditemui di sini, semalam.

Bagaimanapun, Ketua Menteri berkata perkara itu masih dalam kajian di mana pelaksanaannya adalah bergantung kepada peruntukan diperolehi kerajaan negeri daripada kerajaan pusat.

Untuk itu, kerajaan negeri akan berunding dengan kerajaan pusat untuk menambah peruntukan negeri bagi menurunkan cukai taksiran hartanah.

“Sekiranya kerajaan negeri berjaya mendapat peruntukan tambahan, ia akan membantu melaksanakan penurunan cukai ini,” jelas Lawrence.

MBM menyasarkan pertambahan pungutan cukai pintu sebanyak RM3.8 juta daripada RM44,094,397 pada 2015 kepada RM47,961,665 pada 2016.

Lawrence memberitahu, sepanjang tahun lalu 98 peratus pemilik hartanah terma-suk kediaman, komersil dan industri di sini menjelaskan cukai pintu berjumlah RM43, 270, 080.64 kepada MBM.

Cukai dikutip daripada 60,745 pemilik hartanah terdiri daripada 52,455 kediaman, 5,880 komersil dan 2,410 industri.

Beliau menambah, langkah kerajaan negeri menyerap bayaran Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan (GST) untuk perkhidmatan kerajaan juga membantu meringankan beban rakyat.

MBM telah melaksana-kan arahan kerajaan negeri menyerap GST terhadap perkhidmatan dan bekalan bermula 1 Julai 2015.

Untuk Miri, kerajaan ne-geri menanggung sejumlah RM500,000 bayaran GST setahun untuk perkhidmatan MBM.-Borneo Post

CM: Sarawak’s rural devt all go with RM1 billion in hand

SIBU: Rural transformation that includes development projects such as the construction of more roads and bridges is all geared up for implementation now that the state government has RM1 billion set aside for that very purpose.

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem disclosed this during an interview with Sarawak FM yesterday, conducted after the official opening of the ‘Sejiwa Senada’ programme at the town square here.

“We all know that there is less development in the rural areas than that in the urban areas, in terms of facilities.

“(It’s) not that there is no development, but it is still not enough. We want to transform the rural areas so that the gap between them and the urban areas could be narrowed further,” said the chief minister, who was accompanied by his wife Datin Patinggi Datuk Jamilah Anu.

Adding on, Adenan said it was for this very reason that he requested RM500 million for the rural areas, on top of the existing RM500 million, during the State Legislative Assembly sitting last December.

On the programme, which kicked off on Friday and ends today, Adenan was encouraged to hear that the turnout at the official opening yesterday reached more than 30,000 people – exceeding the initial target of 20,000.

He then said he hoped more people would come to the ‘Sejiwa Senada’ event, of which objective was to inform the people on the achievements and services of the government.

“Sejiwa Senada serves to tell the people what the government did, what is being done and what will be done.

“Many rural folk may not know about the development in their areas; so when we have exhibitions like this, they can see and hear about it for themselves.”

The ‘Sejiwa Senada’ here is the second leg of the programme after Miri, which has been deemed as ‘a very successful event’.

Other dignitaries who witnessed the opening yesterday were State Secretary Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohd Morshidi Abdul Ghani and his deputy Datu Misnu Taha, State Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Amar Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar, Second Finance Minister Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg, Second Resource Planning and Environment Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan, Minister in Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Joseph Entulu Belaun, Infrastructure Development and Communication Minister Dato Sri Michael Manyin and Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusuf.-Borneo Post

Sarawak CM will meet Najib to discuss devolution of power

SIBU: Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem will meet Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib next Wednesday to settle matters on the devolution of power to the Sarawak state government.

Announcing this when opening the Sibu Division Sejiwa Senada 2016 Programme here today, he said Sarawak wanted the administrative powers taken from it by the federal government, to be returned.

“We want the power to return to Sarawak,” he said, adding, “it was important to development for the people of Sarawak specifically rural residents”.

Adenan will also raise the issue of higher oil royalty payment to the state from the present five per cent.

He expected discussions to be tedious but expressed confidence that the federal government would be agreeable to the state’s requests.

As such, he wanted the people to give him and Barisan Nasional five more years to lead Sarawak “in the interest of all”.

To date, he said, the federal government had agreed not to issue deep sea fishing licences in the waters off Sarawak without referring to the state government.

The federal government had also agreed that 90 per cent of teachers in the state would comprise Sarawakians within the next three years, aside from awarding yearly Petronas contracts worth RM2.1 billion to companies in Sarawak.

Adenan said he had implemented 50 items in the two years he had been Chief Minister including doing away with toll, reducing power tariff and building the Pan Borneo Highway.

He said Sarawak had been left behind in many things in the last 50 years and he wanted to overcome that.

His focus is to develop the rural area and close the income disparity between the urban and rural areas.

“Give me five more years. If you give me a big mandate (at the 11th state election), I can stand up to Kuala Lumpur and tell them what we want,” he said.

Adenan said the people of Sarawak could then judge him in the next five years.

“If I am no good you can kick me out. I don’t intend to stay too long as I’ll be too old for the job,” he said, adding he was confident that the people of Sarawak knew what they had to do at the state election.

More than 30,000 visitors thronged the opening of the three-day programme which started yesterday.

The aim of the programme is to boost the confidence of the people in the government, improve people/government cooperation and deliver services directly to the people. — Bernama

It’s now toll-free across Sarawak

KUCHING: The toll plaza of Tun Salahuddin Bridge and its vicinity erupted with joy and cheer as Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem officially abolished toll for the bridge while thousands of revellers gathered to ring in the new year.

It marked the very first time Adenan and his wife Datin Patinggi Dato Jamilah Anu as well as other state leaders and local dignitaries join a major New Year’s Eve do, which was held to not only usher in the year 2016 but more importantly to show the world that Adenan delivers his promises made to Sarawakians.

From today, people in the city no longer need to pay toll charges of RM0.50 to RM3.30 to cross the Sarawak River via the Tun Salahuddin Bridge.

The Tun Salahuddin Bridge was one of the three bridges in the state collecting toll before the new year.

The others were Lanang Bridge in Sibu and Asean Bridge in Miri. Toll at Lanang Bridge was abolished in May while Asean Bridge was made toll-free in June last year, thanks to Adenan’s commitment to make Sarawak a better home for all.

By 11pm, Adenan and Jamilah arrived outside the main stage and made their way to the VIP area amidst thunderous applause.

As soon as Adenan and other invited guests were seated, two artistes jointly presented an oldie titled ‘The Young Ones’.

A multimedia presentation featuring recorded messages from state leaders and appreciation from members of the public for the toll abolishment was played before Adenan delivered his speech.

Addressing the high-spirited crowd, Adenan said he had fulfilled his promises to scrap toll charges for the three bridges in the state. In return, he hoped Sarawakians would also make and keep their promises to give him another five years.

“I promise for as long as I am the chief minister of Sarawak, there will be no toll charges. The Pan Borneo Highway spanning over 1,000 km that has a lot of bridges will also be toll free.”

He added that the prime minister had also given his assurance that the Pan Borneo Highway would be toll free once completed.

In addition, Adenan said he also had reduced electricity tariffs for various sectors apart from enforcing the RM1 ferry fee across the state.

As such, he called on Sarawakians to fulfil their promises come the next state election, adding: “I want you to promise that in three months’ time, you will give me five more years.”

Adenan thanked Zecon Toll Concessionaire Sdn Bhd for cooperating with the state government to abolish the toll charges.

“They also place the interest and welfare of the people instead of making profits only.”

He said his administration had allocated some RM500 million last year and another RM500 million this year to speed up rural development in the state.

“I want to close the gap between rural and urban areas. It will take some time but let it begin and begin now.”

Adenan ended his speech by asking the crowd if they wanted to hear him sing to which they said “Yesss”, prompting Adenan to say: “Okay, I will sing for my wife.”

After he presented ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’, he immediately announced that PBB would retain the incumbents for Pantai Damai (Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi), Satok (Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Abang Openg_ and Semariang (Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali).

Meanwhile, local renowned artistes Datuk Jamal Abdillah, Dayang Nurfaizah and Amir Ukays were among those staging performances for revellers during the countdown event to commemorate the momentous and historic occasion.

The celebration culminated in a 10-minute fireworks display.-Borneo Post

Terjemah sokongan melalui undi kepada Adenan

Sokongan 74% rakyat kepadanya tiada makna jika BN tidak menang PRN akan datang

SIBU: Memandangkan Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) semakin hampir Ketua Menteri Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem mahu rakyat menterjemahkan sokongan mereka dalam bentuk undi selepas meraih 74 peratus sokongan rakyat negeri ini.

“Saya tidak kira populariti diraih itu tetapi biar sokongan (74 peratus) atau kepopularitian saya di kalangan rakyat perlu ada bukti daripada hati rakyat sendiri pada PRN nanti.

“Jangan cakap sahaja seperti ‘menang sorak kampung tergadai’,” katanya pada Majlis Ramah-Tamah Hari Raya Aidilfitri Bahagian Sibu di sini malam kelmarin.

Hadir sama isterinya, Datin Patinggi Datuk Jamilah Anu, Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar, Menteri Perumahan dan Menteri Pelancongan Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Abang Openg, Menteri Muda Pelancongan Datuk Talib Zulpilip, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Nangka Dr Annuar Rapa’ee dan Temenggung Datuk Wan Hamid Edruce Tuanku Mohammad.

Berdasarkan tinjauan pendapat awam Pusat Merdeka Penyelidikan Pendapat daripada 606 responden mendedahkan bahawa 74 peratus daripada penduduk Sarawak menyokong kepimpinan Adenan.

Pengarah Program Pusat Merdeka Ibrahim Suffian pada sidang akhbar Isnin lalu berkata penarafan populariti Adenan di kalangan pelbagai masyarakat adalah 82 peratus untuk komuniti Bumiputera (Muslim), 74 peratus (Dayak) dan 67 peratus (Cina).

Menurut Ibrahim, atas tiga sebab bagi penarafan tinggi Adenan termasuk pentadbiran yang baik, menjaga kebajikan rakyat dan kualiti kepimpinan yang positif.

Adenan berkata walaupun beliau menghargai penarafan itu namun beliau berharap rakyat tidak hanya bercakap sahaja dengan mengatakan mereka menyokong beliau.

Katanya sokongan itu perlu dibuktikan dalam bentuk undi supaya Barisan Nasional (BN) dapat menikmati kemenangan besar pada PRN akan datang.

“Saya minta semua memberi saya lima tahun lagi meneruskan apa yang saya lakukan kepada negeri ini.

“Banyak yang kita boleh buat dalam masa lima tahun dan lihatlah sejak saya menjadi Ketua Menteri dalam masa setahun setengah ini berapa banyak kejayaan kita capai,” ujarnya.

Beliau menggesa rakyat memberi peluang kepadanya meneruskan pentadbiran negeri ini lima tahun lagi.

Beliau berkata, dengan memperolehi mandat baik (majoriti besar) daripada rakyat pada PRN kelak, ini memudahkan beliau bersuara mewakili rakyat negeri ini kepada kerajaan persekutuan dalam usaha memohon menaikkan royalti minyak daripada lima peratus kepada 20 peratus.

“Jika anda mahu lebih banyak pendapatan bagi negeri ini, anda tidak mempunyai pilihan lain selain memberi BN dan saya menang besar pada PRN kelak,” jelasnya.

Adenan menambah, beliau akan meneruskan rundingan untuk menaikkan royalti minyak sampai dapat.

Justeru, keutamaannya sekarang adalah merapatkan jurang antara luar bandar dan kawasan bandar dengan peruntukan tambahan RM500 juta untuk pembangunan luar bandar.

Adenan berkata sebelum meminta mandat daripada rakyat adalah penting bagi mereka mengetahui apa yang dilakukannya kepada negeri ini di bawah pentadbirannya.

Perkara-perkara yang sudah dilaksana Adenan ialah membanteras pembalakan haram diikuti memberhentikan pengeluaran kayu balak dan lesen perladangan kelapa sawit komersil dan berskala besar, pemansuhan tol jambatan, menurunkan tarif elektrik kepada industri tempatan dan pengguna serta menurunkan caj feri daripada RM10 dan RM15 kepada RM1.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Adenan turut mengumumkan bahawa Dr Annuar dikekalkan sebagai calon BN bagi kerusi DUN Nangka pada PRN akan datang.-Utusan Borneo

Sarawak tak layan referendum keluar Malaysia - Adenan Satem

PETRA JAYA: Kerajaan negeri menolak sama sekali dan tidak akan melayan sebarang desakan yang mahu mengeluarkan negeri ini daripada Persekutuan Malaysia.

Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Adenan Satem, berkata bagaimanapun kerajaan negeri bersimpati serta memahami sentimen rakyat negeri ini yang mahu melihat perubahan terutama dalam pemberian lebih kuasa autonomi.

"Kerajaan negeri tidak pernah dan tidak akan bersetuju untuk membawa Sarawak keluar dari Persekutuan Malaysia. Sebarang referendum mengeluarkan negeri ini keluar tidak akan diluluskan," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada Hari Memperingati Kemerdekaan Sarawak 22 Julai, di perkarangan Kompleks Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sarawak, di sini, pagi ini.- BHarian

Perutusan Hari Raya CM Adenan Satem

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Rakyat Sarawak yang saya kasihi,

Saudara Saudari Muslimin dan Muslimat,

Adik Kakak yang dirahmati Allah,

Bulan Ramadan yang mulia telah berlalu. Alhamdulillah! Kita memanjatkan kesyukuran ke hadrat Allah Subhanahu Wataala kerana dengan limpah rahmat dan hidayat-Nya, kita dapat bersama-sama melalui bulan Ramadan dengan berpuasa dalam keadaan aman sentosa.

Kini dengan rahmat Allah Subhanahu wa Taala jua, kita berpeluang pula menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri pada tahun ini dalam suasana aman dan damai, seperti selama ini, penuh dengan semangat persaudaraan dan kasih sayang, yang merentasi perbezaan bangsa dan agama, kerana kita semua adalah anak Sarawak.

Bersempena dengan hari yang mulia ini, saya dan isteri serta seisi keluarga merafakkan ucapan “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin” kepada seluruh kaum Muslimin dan Muslimat anak Sarawak di mana sahaja saudara dan saudari berada.

Rakyat Sarawak yang saya kasihi;

Hari Raya mengajar kita erti kejayaan. Kejayaan adalah hasil dari kesabaran dan sikap tolong menolong serta pentingnya kerjasama semua pihak sepanjang bulan Ramadan yang lalu. Untuk berjaya kita semua perlu bersedia untuk “susah bersama dan gembira bersama”.

Inilah jalan kehidupan yang saya fikir wajar dihayati dengan lebih mendalam oleh rakyat Sarawak yang saya kasihi. Saya tahu hal ini telah lama kita praktikkan di Bumi Kenyalang yang permai ini. Maka menjadi tugas kita semua sebagai Rakyat Ibu Pertiwi ini mempertahankannya dengan menjadikan intipati bersedia untuk “susah bersama bagi mengecap gembira bersama” dapat dijelmakan di bumi realiti.

Tiada untungnya kita berpecah belah dan mementingkan diri atau puak sendiri. Tiada gunanya kita membawa elemen luaran dari Sarawak yang boleh memecah-belahkan kita. Kita lebih tahu dan faham apa yang kita mahukan untuk negeri Sarawak yang sedang kita bangunkan ini. Sejarah Sarawak telah diwarnai dengan pelbagai kejayaan sejak semangat kesatuan menjadi pegangan semua pihak merentasi agama dan bangsa.

Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar.

Terbukti Ramadan dan Syawal boleh kita kongsikan bersama dengan pelbagai agama dan bangsa. Kita mampu untuk sungkey atau berbuka puasa bersama-sama di masjid tanpa rasa kekok walaupun masjid adalah tempat suci bagi orang Islam. Semua dialu-alukan atas nama kesatuan rakyat Sarawak yang mengatasi segalanya. Bila tiba Hari Raya, maka sewajarnya ia kita raikan bersama tanpa perlu bersikap eksklusif. Sikap inklusif dalam merayakan hari perayaan adalah rahsia kestabilan Sarawak selama ini. Inilah benteng yang mesti kita pertahankan bersama!

Dalam tempoh setahun lebih saya diberi amanah menjadi Ketua Menteri banyak langkah yang telah diambil untuk kepentingan dan keselesaan rakyat kita. Saya yakin banyak lagi langkah yang boleh dilakukan untuk membantu meringkankan beban rakyat jika diberi peluang lagi untuk memimpin Negeri ini pada masa hadapan.

Saudara dan saudari yang dikasihi,

Saya dan isteri akan mengadakan rumah terbuka di Pusat Konvensyen Borneo atau BCCK di Kuching pada hari pertama dan hari kedua Aidiliftri, bermula dari jam 10.30 pagi hingga 4.30 petang. Bagi saudara dan saudari yang berkesempatan datanglah beramai-ramai ke BCCK pada hari-hari berkenaan.

Datanglah ngabas saya, Iboh malu-malu, Iboh protokol gilak, Asal baju kacak jak

Akhir kata, saya dan isteri serta seisi keluarga dengan seikhlas hati mengucapkan “SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI. MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN” kepada seluruh kaum Muslimin dan Muslimat Negeri Sarawak.

Sekian. Wabillahitaufiq Walhidayah Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Adenan Satem, Jamilah & Keluarga.
