JPN Service

JPN Bintulu has moved to it's new premises recently.   It's one of the modern building specially design for government offices.   Very neat and tidy.

But, one thing never change, their services.   Still slow as usual.

Since it deals with hundreds, if not thousands of people daily, it should consider increasing it's office size, it's counters and at the same time increasing their manpower.   I'm sure the government have plenty of resources for that.   Furthermore, Sarawak has plenty of qualified school leavers and college graduates who are unemployed.   To support their 1Malaysia concept, they should seriously consider improving their services to the people.

Crowds during normal working days as below:

Latest Update - Mukah Selangau Road

Despite all the media attention on this road since middle of 2010, looks like there's no chances for this road to be completed by December 2010 as announced by Minister of Infrastructure Development & Communications Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong.   As can be observed only about 40% of the whole stretch of the road has been tar sealed.   A great percentages are still filled with large holes especially areas around Ladang 3, jalan Alam Suria and in the vicinity of coal mines.

This is another let down by the ministry concerned.  They should look into this matter seriously from now on if they failed again to meet the target completion date.

BBQ pits need maintenance

The facilities at Tg Batu (Pantai Temasya), Bintulu needs maintenance.   The BBQ pit, tables, chairs and other facilities needs attention from BDA.   They all need to be repaired.   This is the most popular place amongst the Bintulu people to relax during weekends after a whole week of hard work.   They deserved to have a better facilities.

Notis Panggilan Temusiasat from JPJ, Bintulu

On 18-10-2010 Monday, I received a "Notis Panggilan Temusiasat" from JPJ, Bintulu.   It was regarding my heavily tinted Wira.   Somebody spotted it along Jalan Abang Galau around 10:47 on 12-10-2010, which was a Sunday and made a report/official complaint to JPJ about it.   I admit I was driving it, no doubt.   Not to worry, before the expiry of the notice period, I will take the tinted off, not a big deal.

However, I have only 2 concerns about the whole affairs:

1.   I admire the efforts of the complainant complaining about my tinted Wira and he/she has the time to spend doing the complaints.   Wouldn't it be more worthwhile if he/she spend his/her valuable time with his/her family or doing more beneficial things than complaining about my tinted Wira.   What benefits did he/she get by his/her act.   He/she must be enjoying doing this.   Not to worry, God is fair as he/she will have his/her day.

Why BN is not keen in registering new/young voters

The present list of voters in Sarawak is not up to date. From the random list of voters for Bintulu constituency, I found out that some of the voters are as old as 105 years of age. I doubt these voters are still alive today. (It is obvious that the EC is not doing their job in updating the voters list).

As a neutral individual not aligned to any political parties, I am very concerned about this matter. A lot of unexpected things can happen which will hinder the proper execution of a clean democratic practice. If the opposition is not careful, this list of voters which contents "ghost voters" can be of advantage to those in control of the election process. The EC are supposed to be an independent body, but think again, who take care of their payroll? The answer is in your head.
