as Soon joked about making his way overthere when it opens to have a plate of Ikeameatballs.

“Before this (referring to before the plansto develop Batu Kawan into the next newtownship), my area, Jawi was relativelytame. Its on the mainland, and was nowherenear any urban development sites. Now,especially with this (Ikea) coming, I foreseemuch more development plans around Batu Kawan.This directly affects the surrounding areas as bigcompanies like these attract big investments anddevelopment plans, resulting in more jobs and busi-ness opportunities for people in Jawi, Batu Kawan

and all the surrounding areas,” Soon said.Maktar agreed with Soon as he pointed out the

escalation of events that led to IKEA coming over.“KDU has already agreed to open up a campus inBatu Kawan, then Hull jumped on board, and now

FANS of squash queen Datuk Nicol David willget a chance to see her in action as Penang, forthe first time, will play host to the delayed 2013Women‘s World Squash Championship in Marchfollowing an agreement with the Women’sSquash Association (WSA) on Jan 11.

What was meant to be the 30th instalment ofthe championship was put off last year as bothEgypt and Hong Kong rejected proposals to hostthe tournament.

The cancellation also meant that world numberone Nicol would keep her world crown for anextended period.

“We, the Penang state government, felt that itwas a real shame that Penang’s very own worldsquash queen will not be able to add to her al-ready impressive collection of seven world titles.Malaysians, especially Penangites, are eagerlyawaiting her to defend her title for a record eighth

time,” said Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng at arecent press conference to announce the event.

“For this reason, the state government de-cided to step in to allow the 2013 championshipto continue as well as give our Penangites aunique opportunity to see our very own squashqueen in action, and hopefully live up to expec-tations by winning the world title again,” he

added.Set to be held at the Penang InternationalSports Arena (PISA) from March 14-17, thechampionship will see top players from 20 coun-tries vying for the coveted title of women‘s worldsquash champion and the grand prize ofUS$120,000 that comes with it.

“WSA‘s agreement to permit Penang to hostthis event is recognition that Penang has thefacilities, amenities and infrastructure of a fittinglocation for a world event as well as the experi-ence and expertise to organise a world champion-ship,” Lim added proudly.

However, organising a world class champion-ship does not come cheap as it may cost an esti-mated RM1 million.

Lim noted that this figure will not be an issueand is hopeful that there will be many corporatesponsors that will be a part of this grand inter-national event.

WSA chairman Ingrid Lofdahl-Bentzer,

quoted from worldsquash.org, expressed herdelight and optimism that Penang will be suc-cessful in organising the 2013 championship.

“We are very grateful to Penang and everyoneinvolved for their dedication and continued sup-port. I have no doubt that the players share myexcitement and will be looking forward to afantastic world championship” she said.

Penang has made its mark in the world ofsquash by producing not only the women‘s worldchampion but also nurturing the sport‘s finesttalents such a s world number six Low Wee Wernand men‘s star, Ong Beng Hee.

THAIPUSAM is every bit a religious event for thoseholding on to the Hindu faith, as much as a majortourist attraction for Penang.

Boasting of colours, sights, sounds and smellsamidst grand processions, it is not uncommon to see

droves of tourists flocking to around the processionchariots, seeking to get a first-hand experience to anancient and beautiful part of the Hindu faith.

Also a common sight would be seeing how Ma-laysians from various cultures and backgroundsgather together to celebrate with our Hindu brethrenon this auspicious occasion.

Thaipusam this year was celebrated on Jan 17,with preparations for Lord Muruga’s arrival beingset as early as a week from the day itself.

This year, Penang saw a total of 180 000 peoplealong the streets leading up to the Ganeshar Temple,about 80 000 more than the previous year.

This culturally rich and aesthetically pleasingcelebration is a day to commemorate Lord Muruga,one of the deities in the Hindu religion who is also

the son of Lord Shiva and the Goddess Parvati.This day marks the defeat of the evil Soorapadmanby Lord Muruga with a lance given to him by hismother, thus restoring peace and harmony.

Present at this year’s celebrations on Jan 17 andfor a pre Thaipusam walkabout was Chief MinisterLim Guan Eng who personally visited every stallalong Jalan Macalister leading up to the temple, onthe day before Thaipusam.

“Every year, we get more and more people attend-ing Thaipusam here in Penang. Penang is a safe placefor all religious celebrations, as we at the state gov-ernment respect every Malaysian’s right to freedo mof religion while maintaining and observing Islamas the official religion of the country,” Lim said dur-ing his speech on Thaipusam day itself at the Gane-shar Temple, Waterfall.

Shouts of “Ponggolo Ponggal! Ponggolo Ponggal!”rang out loud when the milk boiled over the pots hang-ing on sugar canes.

Pretty Indian girls dressed in traditional costumeshelped the elderly women in adding rice, nuts, brown

sugar and a variety of spices to the milk. Children toowere excited at cooking the porridge. Their participa-tion will ensure that the traditional harvest festival ofthe Indian community celebrated by Hindus and Chris-tians alike will be handed down the generations.

MUCH publicity has been given to theMazu temple in Pulau Jerejak by themedia.

In order to clarify matters, the PenangNorth-East district of cer Azizi Zakariagave a report to the media on the actualsituation at a press conference in theChief Minister’s of ce on Jan 8.

“On Dec 24, 2013, the enforcementunit from the North-East district of cehad removed the structures without

permit from an old building on PulauJerejak. We informed the person whoused the place as a temple for the deityMazu and he came to our office inKomtar the day before the demolition.He was given a notice to shift the statuesand was given ample time to do so,”Azizi said.

Azizi showed members of the mediaphotos of the demolition and also theoriginal building which remains on theisland.

However, he said his officers re-moved part of the ceiling as they werefound to have a sbestos insulation.

“The 20 x 10 ft building is dated 1930and we have left it untouched,” headded, proving that no heritage buildingwas damaged as what the oppositionaccused.

Pursuant to this Mazu temple issue,Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Enghad issued a press statement on Jan 9that the Penang state government hasdecided to take a pro-active approach tohandle Chinese temples.

He said: “The Penang state exco hasendorsed the setting up of a PenangChinese Temple Endowment exco com-mittee headed by me and comprisingexco members Chow Kon Yeow, ChongEng, Danny Law Heng Kiang, Lim HockSeng and Phee Boon Poh.”

The committee will have three pre-liminary purposes:- a. Uphold Article 11 of the Federal

Constitutional that grants the right offreedom to profess and practice his orher religion at Chinese temples;

b. Promote sustainable developmentand growth of Chinese temples in Penang;

c. Organise the Chinese temples intoa structure with certain religious author-ity to impart advice to the relevant au-thorities without taking over or affectingthe existing management and operationsof Chinese temples.

“The Penang state government isdeeply concerned that Umno leaders areplaying the res of religious and racialhatred in asking for immediate demoli-tion of illegal religious structures of theMazu deity in Pulau Jerejak. In contrastto Umno’s intolerant stand of seekingimmediate demolition, the state govern-ment’s policy is to take enforcementaction at the suitable time. Such cautionis necessary as a full investigation must

be conducted, taking into account not just religious sensitivities but also ap-propriate historical record and relevanceto residents living there,” Lim added.

“More worrying, is that several Chi-nese media have also taken a similarposition and echoed Umno’s extremistposition of immediate demolition ofMazu religious structures. When en-forcement action was taken on Dec 24,2013, many living outside Penang

thought that the state government waintolerant of religious freedom becausthey did not know that Pulau Jerejak wauninhabited. There were no reports ithe Chinese papers defending the statgovernment’s enforcement action. ThPenang state government is concernethat Umno’s extremist stand of askinfor immediate demolition of illegal religious structures in Pulau Jerejak maybe used as a precedent to demand similar action against other Chinese templeor places of worship in Penang that hav

not been approved.” To ensure that these members of thpublic do not fall into the extremist trapof Umno that will affect the constitutional rights of freedom of religion oChinese temples, the Penang state government has decided to take this proactive approach to handle Chinestemples.

Chinese temples in Penang play signi cant role in the state’s rich traditions and history and is one of the manycharacteristics that make up a multcultural Penang and assisted in GeorgTown being inscribed as a UNESCOWorld Heritage City.

A Penang Chinese Temple Endowment Committee may be the forerunneto protect, preserve and promote its legitimate and healthy development.

RESIDENTS of the Ri eRange ats, built in 1969,have been putting upwith a leaking problemdue to defects in the sew-erage and water pipes.

Coffee shop ownerLee Teik Cheng, 54, en-dures the dripping waterand spent about RM300to put up some guttersand pipes to divert thewater.

Lee has been operat-ing the coffeeshop forover 44 years, after tak-ing over from his father.

However, the woes ofthe at dwellers have notgone unnoticed.

On Jan 13, exco mem-ber for Town and Coun-try Planning and HousingJagdeep Singh Deo madea site visit with excomember for Works, Util-ities (Energy, Water &Telecommunication) andTransport (Air, Sea &Train) Lim Hock Seng,assemblymember for

Kebun Bunga Cheah KahPeng and Bukit BenderaMP Zairil Khir Johari tocheck on the repair work.

“Work has been car-

ried out to repair theleaking units. Repairworks were split into twopackages. However itcame to light that therewere leakages and de-fects even after the repairworks. We received 420complaints from package1 and 430 complaintsfrom package 2,” Jag-deep said.

The cost of package 1is RM3,639,817.47 to

repair 2,112 units andp a c k a g e 2 i sRM3,220,412.62 to re -pair 1,632 units.

“We instructed the

“I have instructed JKRto expedite remedialworks so that the flat

dwellers here do not haveto endure leaking homesduring Chinese NewYear,” Jagdeep said.

HAWKERS in Penang are rushing to register for afood-handling course for fear of being ned or jailed

after the Jan 23 deadline to obtain a certi cate.Daily they would wait patiently for the counterlocated at Level 3 of Komtar to open and some queuedup as early as 7 am and waited for hours.

Concerned with their plight, Dr A f Bahardin, excomember for Agriculture & Agro-Based Industry, RuralDevelopment and Health, wrote to the federal govern-ment opposing the privatisation of hygienic standardsof hawkers in Malaysia by the Health Ministry.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng also issued a pressstatement on Jan 17.

“The Penang state government is extremely con -cerned about the this privatisation move that will onlyimpose additional costs to low-income hawkers al-ready reeling badly from rising prices,” Lim said inthe statement.

Hawkers are liable to a maximum ne of RM10,000or a maximum jail term of two years, or both if theyfail to obtain the certi cate on time under the 2009Food Hygiene Regulations.

The Health Ministry allows six companies in Pen -ang to impose a charge of RM50 for a simple food-handling course, which both the Penang Island Mu -nicipal Council (MPPP) and Seberang Perai MunicipalCouncil (MPSP) conduct free of charge.

“Why can’t the ministry conduct these courses freeof charge or accept a nominal payment instead of al-lowing private companies to make money from low-income groups like hawkers?”Lim asked.

Reportedly, hawkers upset at the RM50 charges areasking whether this is privatisation or “piratisation”.

The Health Ministry has endorsed six trainingschools to conduct the courses - Pearl Garden Enter-

prise; Pusat Latihan dan Perundingan Wasin; SihatUtama Enterprise; CSL Training and Consultancy;SQC Management (Pg) Sdn Bhd and Institusi Pengen -dali Makanan Ilham.

“The state government supports any effort to im-prove food safety and hygienic standards. There shouldbe no compromise on health enforcement with morethan 10,000 cases of food poisoning cases reportedlast year.

“However, reducing food poisoning incidentsshould not be exploited as a pretext to allow someprivate companies to earn money,” Lim said in thestatement.
