謝銘聖牙呼籲沙巴州人民在第13屆 大選中膽敢地用手中一票支民聯執 政

民聯公正黨下南南區州議席候選人謝銘聖牙科醫生，呼籲沙巴州人民在第13屆大選中，膽敢地用手中一票支民聯執政5年及帶來改變。 他對自21日展開拜票活動以來，所到之處到均得民眾的熱情支持，而感到鼓舞。 他表示選手將支持投給民聯，因為他們對國陣已感到失望，及選手稱國陣已沒有時間解決他們自己製造的問題，已經受夠了，是時候換新政府！ 謝銘聖指出，正如民聯已在如檳城、雪蘭莪和其他一些州，已證明了執政成績。 也是公正黨中委及沙巴州聯委會秘書的謝氏，今日在發布文告中這麼指出。 他指民聯已較國陣提前了一個月（3月24日）公佈競選宣言，在民聯為沙巴所提出的40個競選宣言和預算案，相比之下，沙巴國陣競選宣言顯然較虛偽和缺乏遠見。事實上，國陣抄襲民聯在聯邦及州的競選宣言。 在非法移民和安全問題，謝銘聖指國陣現在承諾遵守皇家調查委員會的建議，以解決非法移民的問題，這是具諷刺性。 他說，國陣本身是這些問題的起源，無論它是專案或遺漏，均均能適當施行移民和公民登記的政策。 他也說，實事上，國陣有很多機會可通過國家專案委員會，聯邦特別部隊和其他的各個委員會來解決問題。然而，問題仍然存在，沙巴人民繼續受苦。 謝氏指國陣在受到民聯及沙巴人民的壓力下，成立皇家調查委員會調查非法移民問題，但在國陣政府的執政下，非法移民、安全和主權的問題，顯示是失敗了。 他表示國陣成立皇調查委員會的態度令人懷疑，人民不會對國陣開出空頭支票而上當。 謝銘聖說，民聯已在國家議程上將清理沙巴公民登記名單，以遏制提供偽造身份證或國籍的狹益及腐敗政治動機。

Deplorable state of the Inanam Market – A Potential Haven for Water Borne Diseases Affecting Traders.

Dr Roland Chia 
PKR Candidate for N13 Inanam

PKR Candidate for N13 Inanam – Dr Roland Chia Ming Shen who is also PKR National Supreme Council member cum PKR Sabah Secretary has received many complaints against the authorities for their failure in properly managing one of the markets in the city i.e. the Inanam Market. How could this happened since the rating area comes under the capital city of Kota Kinabalu? A group of traders lamented to Dr Roland Chia.

Look at the deplorable state of the market– uneven, water clogged and filthy  pavement of the market. Such deplorable state can lead to water borne diseases and it will be an occupational hazard to all traders who have to face these deplorable situation everyday. Traders & Patrons had to bear with this since its inception way back in 2009 or even earlier. This should not happened after 50 years of BN rule. As a result, the Traders are hoping for Change for a better business environment.

PKR /PR will pledge for a clean , well maintained and business friendly environment for the Inanam Market once elected into power. We will ensure Inanam Market will be turned into a tourist destination whereby tourists locally and abroad can come and enjoy the diversity of products that are being sold in the market. This directly will capitulate  Inanam town into one of the tourists attraction in the west coast of Sabah.

Walkabout in Weekly Inanam Tamu

PKR Candidate for N13 Inanam – Dr Roland Chia Ming Shen who is also PKR National Supreme Council member cum PKR Sabah Secretary did a walkabout in the weekly Inanam Tamu this morning. Inanam Tamu falls on every Wednesdays of the week.

Many traders voiced concern over sluggish sales with lesser patrons patronizing the weekly tamu. High costs of living and also higher costs of doing business. Everything has gone up in prices yet traders have to try to maintain their prices of products. Many traders are actually villagers from afar as far as the Kokol Mountains who spent much in travelling down to Inanam to sell their products

One trader even lamented , this should not happened after 50 years of BN rule.

After 50 years of independence - Malaysians fighting losing battle with household debts despite increase of household income & red

PKR National Supreme Council Member cum PKR Sabah Secretary – Dr Roland Chia is saddened by the brutal fact that Malaysians are losing the battle with household debts. It is a fact that Malaysians have a high household debt of 76% of Gross domestic product (GDP) .If this dangerous trends were to continue , should there be an economic slowdown or recession, many Malaysian households would be hit and the impact on financial institution would be devastating also. Despite the Household Income Survey 2012 shows that there is reduction of poverty rate and increase of household income for the average Malaysians, Malaysians are still finding hard to cope with spiraling cost of living ,  increase in debt and lack of disposable income to spend on.

According to Bank Negara, household loans for residential properties in January 2013 jumped 42.4% compared to decline of 0.3% in December 2012. Credit card debt, which had been declining from October to December 2012 rose by 28.6% in January 2013. The escalating property prices throughout the country Malaysia have also resulted in Malaysians have to take out higher loans. Another alarming fact is  that personal loans which went up by 73.4% in January 2013 against a decline of 2.9%. Malaysians have also borrowed heavily to buy securities as loans – it was recorded a rise by 85.1% compared to 10.7% in December.

On a consumer point of view, many Malaysians spend more that they earn .The sad truth is also that now Malaysians are trapped in increasing debt as reflected in higher personal loan and credit card debt. Many have already turned to illegal money lenders or pawnshops. Rising of car and property prices must be contained as for a typical household, loan repayment for a car and home can swallow 50% of a borrower’s monthly wage. Prices of homes and cars are rising faster than income levels. A long term solution must be found before the household debt burden on the economy becomes untenable. These should not have happened to Malaysians given the fact that our country is rich with vast resources of oil, gas, timber, palm oil and vast parcel of land with just 28 million of Malaysians. Finally, the rakyat must resolve to do much soul searching- after 50 years of independence in this forthcoming 13^th General Election in Sabah & Malaysia through the ballot box.

Fire outbreak at Taman Chemei Commercial Shophouses, Lido Penampang

PKR Sabah – In depth Investigation Urgently  Needed by Local  Authorities on  fire outbreaks in Kapayan .

PKR Sabah Secretary  - Dr Roland Chia urged the local authorities to conduct an in depth study and investigation on the root cause of the recent fire outbreaks, the most recent ones was this morning in Lido, Taman Chemei Commercial Shophouses along Jalan Penampang. 

PKR Sabah has highlighted and urged the authorities to investigate since October last year 2012. So far there was no new guidelines and advisory notice released by the authorities. Dr Roland Chia was making this plea while visiting the site of the fire outbreak. Dr Roland Chia was also relieved that nobody was seriously hurt and the damaged was confined to a ground floor shoplot without affecting the adjacent business of the neighbouring shoplots.

Nevetheless – Dr Roland Chia commended the swift action by BOMBA in arriving at the destination upon receiving alert calls although victims waited for more than half hour, mainly due to traffic jam from the morning rush hour. An earlier arrival may have reduce the damaged caused by the fire. It was disclosed by bystanders that the fire started by sparks from the existing electrical wiring connected to the shop. Therefore - Dr Roland Chia advised shop owners to conduct regular maintenance especially older commercial and housing lots, where by old electrical wirings could well be the root cause of recent fire outbreaks.
