As a result of this amendment, there were monies to be returned. “We listen to the rakyat, we return the money to the rakyat. This is based on principles,” Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said during a press conference in Komtar on Sept 9 when representatives of the 12 houses of worship turned up to get their refunds. They were from Kek Lok Si temple, Persatuan Pen- ganut Dewi Sree Maha Mariaman, Synod Diocese Ma- laysia Barat, Persatuan Penganut Dewi Sri Arulmigu Naga Kaliswary Amman, Pertubuhan Swamimalai Sri Muniswarar, Jawatankuasa Kariah Masjid At-Taqwa, Pemegang Amanah Kuil Sakti Vinayagar, Pengerusi Chip Hock Tong Sam, Penganut Tokong Sun Hai Yim Yeong, Wonderwomen do not only race against the clock but they also find time to take selfies along Persatuan Penganut Dewa Hean Thean Seoang Tay ‘Khay the scenic routes while Batmen and Supermen caught up with them.

THE Service Civil International (SCI) Penang Peace Run 2015 held at the City Park on Sept 6 saw the participation of up to 1,000 people, including those with special needs. The SCI Peace Run, organised for the 26th consecu- tive year since 1989 by its Penang Chapter, aimed to create awareness on the plight of disadvantaged groups in society particularly those with special needs. The SCI, furthermore, also strives to motivate people with special needs by its various programmes to help them overcome their physical limitations, build up their confidence and to help them achieve their individual potential in life. Penang exco member for Youth & Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Chong Eng flagged off the run together with Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari and Penang Island City Council (MBPP) director for social services Rashidah Jala- ludin. Chong Eng, in her speech upon the completion of the run, remarked on the significance of such programmes which involved all segments of the community especially those with special needs. “Providing people with special needs the opportunity to be involved in programmes like sports as in our case today, gives them the motivation to succeed on Zairil (holding Malaysia flag), Chong Eng (on Zairil’s left) and others flagging off the run. their own despite their physical limitations.

2015年9月16日 - 30日为抑疯狗症疫情捕野狗槟人民健康安全摆第一！

下放指示让执法单位捕杀野狗以抑制疯狗症疫情蔓延是一项艰难的决定，但槟州政府为了全槟人民的安全及健康着想，在听取医疗专家的劝告后唯有做出这抉择。槟州首长林冠英指出，州政府是依据槟州卫生局及槟州兽医局专家的劝告而做出有关决定，主要是为了人民的健康和安全着想。林冠英表示，尽管有关决定或会招来某些人士的批评，但希望各界都能明白，身为首长他有义务保障公众利益及槟州人民的健康与安全。林冠英于9月22日召开记者会时重申，若没有采取行动来应付，疯狗症将会对公众健康构成威胁。出席记者会尚包括槟州卫生委员会主席阿菲夫行政议员、马来西亚兽医局执法组主任拿督莫哈末拉祖安、槟州兽医局主任西蒂莎米雅医生以及槟州卫生局主任拿督再兰医生。随着槟州威北及浮罗山背发生两宗人类感染疯狗症事件后，槟州政府于9月17日宣布槟州进入疯狗症传染病紧急状态；为了避免疯狗症疫情扩散，槟州政府也宪报颁布，授权兽医局官员捕杀野狗。下放指示让执法单位捕杀野狗以抑制疯狗症疫情蔓延是一项艰难的决定，但槟州政府为了全槟人民的安全及健康着想，在听取医疗专家的劝告后唯有做出这抉择。（摄影：岑健伟）玻璃市于7月28日出现疯狗症病例，之后疫情一路扩 “尽管这是一个艰难的决定，却也是一个必要的大见面，其他非政府组织如4PAWS、PHOS、SOS 散到吉打，如今已来到槟州。决定。” 及Feeder的代表以及各部门的医疗专家也在场。林冠英补充，疯狗症疫情在短短的1个月内就从他解释，当局的行动只是针对野狗，并不涉及家 “我对卢克甘贝所发表的谎言感到非常失望。如玻璃市州蔓延至槟岛，而至今他还了解那些狗只是犬，若当局不采取迅速行动，家犬也可能被感染。果他们要我们听他们的话，那么他们就必须是可以如何渡海至槟岛。另外，针对国际疯狗症组织Mission Rabies 创办让人信服的。槟州政府一直都打开大门，愿意与非他重申，州政府必须保障人民的健康及安全，绝人卢克甘贝指责槟州政府冷待他们要协助注射疫苗政府组织对话及接受任何有效且实际的建议，让官对不能够等到有人因染上疯狗症而逝世后才采取行的报导，林冠英反驳及表示遗憾，因为他本身已于方专家与非政府组织专家对话，共同寻求更好的解动。决方案。” 9月20日与槟州拯救猫狗联盟（SOS）发起人在光 • 文转第3页 2 时事2015年9月16日 - 30日槟宗教场所临时租赁准证额外款项槟政府全退还

槟州首长林冠英宣布，州政府将会退还额外征收的临时租赁准证费用给全槟的宗教场所，而这退款也符合 2013年获批准、2014年3月生效的槟城土地条例修正案的要求，该修正案开始于2015年5日执法。林冠英表示，州政府进行这项修正，是因为根据2013 年槟城土地条例修正案，临时租赁准证的费用太高。 “城区的计算法为每100平方公尺500令吉，郊区为每100平方公尺150令吉。这项收费比2005年槟城土地条例高出3倍，当时的收费为城区每100平方公尺150令吉，郊区为每100平方公尺50令吉。” “做为关注民生的政府，州政府决定修改临时租赁准证的费用，是基于相关组织属于非盈利组织，而是宗教场所、为公众进行宗教仪式的地方。同时，我们在2015 年5月推行新的收费。新的城区临时租赁准证费用为首 100平方公尺为110令吉，接下来每100平方公尺20令吉。至于郊区，首100平方公尺为45令吉，接下来每 100平方公尺达10令吉。” 林冠英于9月9日召开记者会会见多个宗教团体代表时表示，根据重新修正的费用计算法，州政府同意退还向东北区12个宗教场所多征收的1万955令吉。获得退款的12个宗教场所为： 1) 极乐寺住持 2) 斯里马力亚曼兴都庙 3) 西马教区教会(Synod Diocese Malaysia Barat) 4) 斯里阿鲁米古兴都庙 5) 斯里穆尼斯瓦拉兴都庙 6) Masjid At-Taqwa清真寺 7) 萨迪维纳亚加兴都庙 8) Chip Hock Tong Sam神庙主席 9) 姓林桥阴阳殿 10) 槟城玄天上帝 ‘Khay Thean Keong’ 11) Lim Kah Soo 槟州政府将会退还额外征收的临时租赁准证费用给全槟的宗教场所，而这退款也符合2013年获批准、2014年3月生效的槟 12) Yeoh Ah Tai 城土地条例修正案的要求，该修正案开始于2015年5日执法。（档案照）
