Penan man from remote long Sait, Ulu Baram, obtains his motorcycle licence

 
LONG LAMA,Sept 20 2026:  Distance and communication access are among the challenges faced by Elias Ayan, 52, from Long Sait, Ulu Baram in obtaining a motorcycle license before his wish is realised through the Class B2 Driving License Assistance Programme.

For the Penan resident, obtaining a license was not an easy task as the journey to Long Lama required hours through rivers and logging roads.

"The journey here takes about 13 hours, which is five hours by boat from Long Sait to Long Siut, Selungo. The journey takes a long time during the dry season.

"From Long Siut, the journey to Lapok takes another seven hours before reaching Long Lama," he said.

He was speaking to reporters after the B2 Driving License Assistance Programme handing over ceremony which was officiated by Deputy Minister of Transport Hasbi Habibollah at the SJKC Kee Tee Hall, Long Lama yesterday.

Elias is among 471 participants from Telang Usan who received benefits through the programme organised by the Telang Usan State Legislative Assembly (SLA) People's Service Centre in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) Sarawak.

As a participant from the most remote location, Elias also received a helmet from JPJ Sarawak in appreciation for his commitment to participating in the programme.

"I am proud to finally have a motorcycle licence and thank the government for bringing the facility closer to the rural community," he said.

He hopes that the programme can be expanded to more remote areas such as Long Banga, to enable more residents in the area to have a licence.

Lee said the allocation is to fund the purchase of the church's equipment.

He said the provision of aid through UNIFOR reflects the Sarawak government's commitment to respecting religious freedom and enabling communities from diverse religious backgrounds to coexist in peace and harmony.

“The people of Sarawak have a tradition of celebrating various religious festivals together, reflecting the spirit of unity and mutual respect that serves as the state's strength,” he said during the presentation of the allocation.

He also touched upon several infrastructure developments in Miri, including free bus services, the new road project to Mulu, the development of Miri Port, and upgrading works at Miri Airport involving an allocation of RM445 million.

He noted that these developments reflect the Sarawak government's ongoing efforts to strengthen basic amenities and connectivity in Miri, thereby supporting economic development in the northern region of Sarawak. 

Malaya to be a colony of Sabah and Sarawak in 20 years,? Yes, says Zaid Ibrahim

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 2026: Former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim, the ever prophet of doom that he is, has pictured a grim future for Malaya, blaming it squarely on the current Malayan Malay leaders.

"With this group of Malay leaders, Malaya will be a colony of Sabah and Sarawak in 20 years," he sarcastically wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

He noted Sabah wants 40 per cent of its revenue, insisting that a RM1 billion grant is not enough. 

"Then Sarawak wants 10 per cent of total revenue as a special grant. 

"Both are demanding 35 per cent of the total Parliamentary seats. Then 15 other demands are too difficult to comprehend," he said.

"What do the Malay leaders do? They are quarrelling in public about whether they can trust one another. They even ask Terengganu to call the state election first to show they can be an honest partner in seat negotiations. 

"How pathetic they can be?" he questioned.

Ahmad Zahid should be the one to resign from the federal cabinet, not Loke, for questiong government policies, says DAP senator

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 2026: Senator Sheik Umar Bagharib Ali, a central executive committee (CEC) member of the national DAP, said that it should be Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, not Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook, resign from the federal Cabinet.

He said Ahmad Zahid had embarrassed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at the Umnno general, even though he himself is the deputy prime minister.

"He questioned government policies, such as Budi95, despite being part of the same cabinet. He was a party to those decisions," Sheikh Umar Bagharib said in a statement posted on DAP facebook  when commenting on Loke's resignation as the transport minister and from the federal Cabinet.

"At a time when many nations around the world respect Anwar's leadership, Zahid belittled and mocked him," he stressed.

He fumed that in his opinion, Zahid should be the one to resign, not Loke.

"Alternatively, Anwar could dismiss Zahid and replace him with another UMNO leader, perhaps Khaled Nordin or Johari Abdul Ghani.

"They are more committed to upholding the good name of the government and the country," he said, adding that the appointment and sacking of a federal minister is Anwar's prerogative.

He said Anwar has the power to do so.

After a DAP CEC meeting yesterday, Loke announced his resignation from the federal Cabinet to express his party's view on the conditional pardon of former Prime Minister Najib Razak and be placed under house arrest.

Najib was jailed to 12 years in 2020 and fined RM210 million upon conviction  in the SRC International corruption case. 

After failing hi final appeal in the Federal Court, he began his prison sentence at Kajang Prison in August 2022.

Following a review by the Federal Territories Pardons Board in early 2024, hie prison term was subsequently halved to six years and his original RM210 million fine reduced to RM50 million.
