Sarawak Premier Supports Building Information Modelling For Sustainable Development

KUCHING: Sarawak Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Openg has expressed full his support for the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in the construction sector. According to him, BIM is a 3D-based technology that enables detailed simulations of building construction with highly precise data. “It is very meticulous, covering measurements, types of building materials, load factors, and much more. “All of this is stored on a single data platform, making buildings more sustainable with quality materials,” he said during his speech at the Public Works Department (JKR) Sarawak 2024 Dinner Ceremony held here on Monday. Datuk Patinggi Abang Zohari also suggested incorporating innovative materials in construction, including walls that function as solar panels. “Last week, there was a proposal to construct a government building. I suggested simulating materials, including walls that use lightweight solar panels resembling ordinary walls. “This can save energy and enable self-sufficient energy generation,” he added. The Sarawak Premier further highlighted BIM’s advantages in designing energy-efficient homes through strategic material placement and meticulous designs. At the same event, he also witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between JKR Sarawak and the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) to strengthen collaboration in digital development in the region. Also present were Sarawak Deputy Premier, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Sarawak Minister for Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development (M-FICORD), Dato Sri Dr. Stephen Rundi Utom, Sarawak Deputy Minister for Infrastructure and Port Development (MIPD), Datuk Ir. Aidel Lariwoo, MIPD Permanent Secretary, Datu Chiew Chee Yau, JKR Sarawak Director, Ir. Dr. Cassidy Morris, and other distinguished guests. -UKASnews

SK Beradek Identified As Permanent Evacuation Centre In Sarawak

KUCHING: Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Beradek has been identified by the Sarawak Government to be used as a Permanent Evacuation Centre (PPK) in the region. Sarawak Deputy Premier and Chairman of the Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC), Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said the Federal Government has approved funding to establish a PPK in Sarawak as part of preparations for the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) season. “They (the Federal Government) have allocated funds to build a PPK in SK Beradek. However, for now, we are not experiencing any issues with the Temporary Evacuation Centres (PPS). “Nevertheless, I feel it is good for us to have a permanent evacuation centre, because most of what we are using as PPK now are schools, and this could pose a problem during the school term,” he said. He said this in a press conference after chairing a SDMC meeting at Wisma Bapa Malaysia on Tuesday. Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah added that the idea of establishing a PPK can overcome the problem of overcrowding in PPS, particularly in flood-prone areas with large populations. “We are also assessing the need for such facilities in areas with larger populations. For instance, in Batu Kawah which often faces flooding, the PPS tends to become overcrowded. “Then we can recommend building a PPK with existing facilities and can accommodate approximately 500 flood victims at a time,” he explained. Meanwhile, he said the committee in collaboaration with the Sarawak Social Welfare Department (JKM) under the Sarawak Ministry of Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development (KPWK) has taken the initiative to provide 2,000 retort meals to flood victims relocated to PPS, while waiting for other food assistance. To date, 661 Temporary Evacuation Centres (PPS) have been launched throughout Sarawak, capable of accommodating up to 160,819 flood victims. Also present were KPWK Minister, Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah, Sarawak Minister for Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development, Dato Sri Dr. Stephen Rundi Utom, and Deputy Sarawak Secretary (Administration), Datu Buckland Bangik. -UKASnews

砂总理文告被错误诠释，澄清大学入学需BM学分

古晋：砂拉越总理拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿邦佐哈里博士从未表示，进入砂拉越大学不需要大马教育文凭（SPM）马来文（BM）学分。 砂拉越教育、创新及人才发展部长拿督斯里罗伦沙周二发文告嘉解释说，有关文告被错误诠释。 他表示，独中统考（UEC）资格也可获考虑，以作为进入砂拉越大学的资格。 “马来语的重要性是不可否认的。因此，对于砂拉越基金会（YSIS）的学生而言，他们仍然需要参加SPM级别的马来文科目考试以获取学分。” 有关文告是针对语言专家、名誉教授拿督尼克萨菲亚阿都卡林博士的言论发表的，他此前批评砂拉越允许学生从2026年起免费进入砂拉越的大学升学，而无需获得SPM马来文学分的提议。 对此，砂拉越政府强调，该提案并非要忽视马来文的重要性，而是旨在通过承认统考资格为学生提供另一条道路。 拿督斯里罗伦也强调，这项政策符合砂政府在不损害民族价值观的情况下，确保更具包容性的教育之努力举措，右起是掌握马来语作为官方语言。-UKAS刊

BERADEK国小确定为砂拉越永久疏散中心

古晋：伯拉德国小已被砂拉越政府确定成为该地区的永久疏散中心（PPK）。 砂拉越副总理兼砂灾难管理委员会主席拿督阿玛道格拉斯表示，联邦政府已批准一笔资金，以在砂拉越建立一个永久疏散中心，作为应对东北季候风的准备。 “他们（联邦政府）已分配大量资金在伯拉德国小建设永久疏散中心，但到目前为止，我们的临时疏散中心尚未遇到任何问题。不过，我觉得拥有一个永久的疏散中心对我们来说是一件好事，因为我们现在临时疏散中心大部分都是学校，所以开学将会成为一个问题。” 他周二在国父大厦主持砂拉越灾难管理委员会会议后，在新闻发布会上，这么说。 拿督阿玛道格拉斯补充道，建立永久疏散中心的想法可以解决临时疏散中心的拥堵问题，特别是在人口众多且经常发生水灾的地区。 “如果某些地方很拥挤，我们也会根据需求进行考虑，例如石角经常遇到水灾问题，也让临时疏散中心变得非常拥挤。那么我们可以建议利用现有设施建造一个可同时容纳少于500名水灾灾黎的永久疏散中心。” 他说，相关委员会已和砂拉越妇女、儿童和社区和谐发展部属下的砂社会福利局合作，以为迁至临时疏散中心并在获得其他粮食援助前的灾黎们提供2000种“蒸煮”食品（ MAKANAN ‘RETORT’）。 到目前为止，砂拉越各地已启动了661个临时疏散中心，并可容纳多达16万0819名水灾灾黎。 出席者还有砂拉越妇女、儿童及社区和谐发展部长拿督斯里花蒂玛阿都拉、砂食品工业、原产业及区域发展部长拿督斯里史蒂芬伦迪医生和砂拉越副政府秘书（行政）拿督巴克兰万吉。 -UKAS刊
