JAWAPAN-JAWAPAN LISAN BAGI PERTANYAAN-PERTANYAAN 1. Tuan Che Mohamad Zulkifly bin Jusoh [Setiu] minta Menteri Pendidikan menyatakan bilangan sekolah yang telah mencapai Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi (SBT) sehingga kini dan nyatakan langkah kementerian bagi meningkat pencapaian Sekolah Menengah Tahfiz seperti Sekolah Menengah Imtiaz di Terengganu sebagai SBT memandangkan terdapatnya pengetua yang bukan daripada kategori guru (DG). Menteri Pendidikan II [Dato' Seri Haji Idris Jusoh]: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, bilangan Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi keseluruhannya ialah 115 dan daripada itu ada dua buah sahaja Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan yang mencapai taraf Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi iaitu Sekolah Menengah Imtiaz Besut dan juga Sekolah Menengah Imtiaz Kuala Terengganu. Untuk memastikan pencapaian yang berterusan, program-program dilaksanakan oleh kementerian di antaranya ialah program kelestarian, program coaching dan mentoring dan juga program-program kepada pengetua dan kepimpinan oleh Institut Aminuddin Baki dan kepada guru-guru ialah program- program yang dianjurkan oleh Bahagian Pendidikan Guru di kementerian. DR 6.11.2013 2 Tuan Che Mohamad Zulkifly bin Jusoh [Setiu]: Soalan tambahan saya Tuan Yang di- Pertua, apakah usaha-usaha yang telah dibuat oleh kerajaan untuk memartabatkan sekolah tahfiz terutama sekolah tahfiz sains bagi melahirkan modal insan yang Quranic dan sejauh manakah hasil pengajian sekolah tahfiz ini telah melahirkan modal insan yang bukan sahaja berjaya sebagai huffaz tetapi juga dalam bidang sains dan teknologi dan berkaitan dengan perkara ini, soalan lanjutannya apakah langkah kerajaan bagi memperkembangkan Program Pendidikan Ulul Albab di sekolah rendah dan juga menengah di seluruh negara bagi melahirkan generasi yang seimbang dalam aspek duniawi dan ukhrawi. Terima kasih. Dato' Seri Haji Idris Jusoh: Keseluruhannya Tuan Yang di-Pertua untuk keseluruhan Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi kita lihat sejak ia dilaksanakan kita dapat melihat kehebatan sekolah- sekolah tersebut. Sekolah-sekolah agama yang berprestasi tinggi baru sahaja masuk tetapi untuk berprestasi tinggi kita lihat sejak kebelakangan ini peningkatan pencapaian mereka, pelajar-pelajar kita ini didedahkan dengan Program World Robot Olympian dan Young Investor luar negara yakni di Thailand, Invention and New Product Exposition di United State of America, English Speaking , ini pun ada di London supaya ada yang boleh bercakap dengan baik, Mathematical Olympian di Netherlands , Physics Olympian dan juga International Competitions and Assessment for School atau ICAS. Ini semua di seluruh dunia. Kita lihat peningkatan pencapaian mereka pada tahun 2010 pencapaian 29% dan apabila kita katakan 29% iaitu mereka mendapat kejayaan setiap pertandingan yang mereka masuk mereka mendapat sama ada nombor satu, nombor dua dan nombor tiga. Pada tahun 2011, pencapaian telah meningkat kepada 47%. Pada tahun 2012 tahun lalu ia meningkat kepada 75% dan pada tahun ini sasaran kita ialah 85% dan mereka telah mencapai 83.7%. Ini peningkatan- peningkatan Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi. Akan tetapi keseluruhannya, kita lihat juga kerana budaya ini juga diterapkan ke sekolah- sekolah agama ataupun sekolah-sekolah yang kita pastikan mereka bukan hanya menghafaz al- Quran, budaya ini dapat diterapkan di sekolah-sekolah tersebut dengan secara menyeluruhnya dan kita lihat bidang sains dan teknologi mula dapat diserapkan ke sekolah-sekolah tersebut agar mereka mempunyai apa yang dikatakan pengetahuan yang lebih menyeluruh di samping nilai-nilai Quranic yang ada pada mereka. ■1010 Inilah nilai-nilai yang dikatakan nilai-nilai encyclopedic dan juga menyeluruh. Pemikiran mereka lebih menyeluruh, bidang-bidang pengajian mereka lebih menyeluruh ataupun dengan menggunakan perkataan kepelbagaian ataupun multi-disciplinary dan juga nilai-nilai ‘ishtihadik’ iaitu nilai-nilai kreativiti dan inovasi yang harus ada pada mereka. Insya-Allah saya jangka mereka akan menjadi lebih menyeluruh dan lebih hebat pada masa-masa akan datang untuk melahirkan apa yang dikatakan generasi Ulul Albab. Buat masa ini tidak ada lagi rancangan untuk memulakannya di sekolah rendah kerana kita hendak memantapkan lagi program-program agama di sekolah-sekolah menengah tersebut. DR 6.11.2013 3 Dato’ Dr. Nik Mazian Nik Mohamad [Pasir Puteh]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi taala wabarakatuh. Soalan tambahan untuk Yang Berhormat Menteri. Pertama sekali tahniah kerana telah mewujudkan Sekolah Imtiaz dan saya perhatikan bahawa sekolah ini memang berjaya. Soalan saya ialah memandangkan menghafal al-Quran ini adalah sesuatu yang berat bagi pelajar, kalau saya sendiri pun satu juzuk setahun pun memang susah hendak hafal. Jadi apakah pencapaian mereka? Adakah betul-betul mereka ini boleh menghafal? Maksud saya pelajar-pelajar di sekolah tahfiz seperti Imtiaz ini, mereka dapat menghafal al-Quran sepenuhnya dalam tempoh lima tahun berada di sana atau berapakah bilangan pelajar-pelajar yang tidak mencapai tahap itu atau tidak dapat menghafal semua al-Quran dalam tempoh pembelajaran mereka di sekolah tahfiz. Kedua, saya ingin tahu di antara sekolah-sekolah berprestasi tinggi ini, berapakah bilangan sekolah-sekolah yang memang ada program tahfiz di dalamnya? Ketiga, adakah kerajaan... Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Datuk Ronald Kiandee]: Banyak soalan, Yang Berhormat. Dato’ Dr. Nik Mazian Nik Mohamad [Pasir Puteh]: ...Sambungan daripada yang kedua. Adakah kerajaan merancang untuk mewujudkan lagi sekolah-sekolah tahfiz ini di tempat lain? Terima kasih. Dato’ Seri Haji Idris Jusoh: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat. Memang penghafazan al- Quran ini bukan satu perkara yang senang. Pengalaman saya, apabila saya mewujudkan sekolah tersebut pada tahun 1999 di Besut, memang ada mengatakan yang ianya tidak boleh dicapai. Akan tetapi melalui pengalaman, di peringkat permulaannya, kita sasarkan mereka dapat menghafaz al-Quran sebanyak 30 juzuk apabila mereka tamat SPM. Akan tetapi melalui pengalaman dengan pelajar-pelajar tersebut dan juga melihat apa yang berlaku di seluruh dunia bukan hanya di Malaysia, kita lihat bahawa pelajar-pelajar kita mampu untuk menghafaz al-Quran sebanyak 10 juzuk setahun. Itu pelajar-pelajar yang mampu. Bukan semua mampu. Ini bermakna mereka perlu menghafaz satu muka surat satu hari. Ini melalui pengalaman. Bukan hanya pengalaman saya tetapi anak-anak saya memang belajar di sana. Melalui pengalaman mereka bahawa diberitahu saya bahawa mereka mampu menghafaz satu muka surat satu hari. Biasanya di pusat-pusat hafazan, mereka dapat menghafaz lima muka surat satu hari dan mengikut sifir tersebut, mereka boleh menghafaz sepuluh juzuk ataupun satu juzuk selama sebulan, sepuluh juzuk selama setahun, 30 juzuk selama ‘70’ tahun. Beberapa Ahli: [Menyampuk] Dato’ Seri Haji Idris Jusoh: Maaf, 30 juzuk selama tiga tahun. Kadang-kadang pasal pagi-pagi hari ini, makan breakfast tidak lagi. Kejayaannya ialah 40%, Yang Berhormat. Memang ada yang tidak dapat menghabiskan hafazan di Tingkatan Tiga. Mereka biasanya tamat di Tingkatan Lima. Kita kena faham bahawa pelajar-pelajar ini ialah pelajar-pelajar yang dipilih. Memang apabila untuk masuk ke sekolah tersebut, mereka sudah diberi ujian hafazan peringkat permulaan. Mungkin ‘juz amma’ dan sebagainya. Yang ada memang adalah 2% hingga 3% yang tidak dapat menghafaz sepenuhnya. Ini juga satu persoalan kerana hafazan ini bukan satu sahaja DR 6.11.2013 4 perkara yang kita hafaz pada hari ini dan kita akan terus dapat mengingati buat selama-lamanya. Ini kerana jika mereka dapat mengulangi hafazan mereka sebulan sekali, insya-Allah mereka akan terus dapat menghafaz al-Quran dengan baik. Untuk sekolah agama memang baru. Saya katakan tadi di peringkat permulaan tadi ada dua sehingga kini yang berjaya. Sekolah agama bantuan kerajaan yang berjaya, SABK yang berjaya masuk dalam kategori sekolah berprestasi tinggi. Sememangnya pada tahun hadapan, mengikut kemampuan sekolah-sekolah seluruh negara, kerajaan akan memilih sebuah sekolah, satu negeri untuk dijadikan sekolah yang dikatakan sekolah yang mempunyai program Ulul Albab di sekolah-sekolah mereka. 2.

  • On 30 April 2014 Field Trip to Fort Alice Eye-Opener for Unimas Students
    on 30 April 2014 Field trip to Fort Alice eye-opener for Unimas students Enriching experience: Members of the Unimas group taking a group photo with Fort Alice in the background. SRI AMAN: The first group of 40 students from the first archaeology course offered by University of Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) took a three-hour bus trip here to see the historical reconstruction of Fort Alice. The undergraduates were able to witness heritage conservation in person and up close. Architect Mike Boon led the field trip for the students and their visiting professor Dr Nancy White, and lecturer Nicholas Gani. The visitors were amazed by how the fort is being preserved, with its original beams and other construction materials from the mid-19th century still intact. The 145-year-old fort is a listed historical monument. Mid-last year, the structure was taken apart piece by piece. The 9,900sq ft, two-storey wooden building consisted of 88 columns, of which 74 were carried through to the second floor. In weight, the belian (local ironwood) — which was used extensively, from columns, wall panels, floor boards to roof beams — weighed an estimated 100 tonnes. From its strategic hilltop, it served to defend against “piracy” and invasion from the Lupar River, but mostly it became a government administrative centre for Charles Brooke, the second Rajah of Sarawak. It was here where the White Rajahs staked their claims aground. The British battled against local tribal warriors like Rentap along the Batang Lupar and expanded the state’s territory northwards and eastwards from the Sarawak River; thus charting the modern day boundaries.

  • Fort Alice – Syncretic Architecture in Sarawak Under the Brooke Regime
    CONTESTED TERRAINS SAHANZ PERTH 2006 JOHN TING FORT ALICE – SYNCRETIC ARCHITECTURE IN SARAWAK UNDER THE BROOKE REGIME John Ting RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT Colonial architecture in Malaya typically followed the classical traditions of 19th century British architecture or the later Indo-Saracenic styles of the Victorian period. Colonial buildings were designed as clear symbols of British imperialism. In neighbouring Sarawak, the architecture of the Brooke regime of the same period is quite different. Sarawak was not a British colony but annexed and ruled outright by the white rajah James Brooke (1803-1867) and his successors. They set up an eccentric “freelance imperial” system where their primary objective was altruistic. Unlike most imperialists, the Brookes had a syncretic approach, attempting to unify and reconcile many differing schools of thought, not only between the indigenous peoples but also between eastern and western ideals. The architecture of James Brookes’ Fort Alice can be seen to be a result of this approach. It is an architectural reflection of their unusual approach to governance, resulting in a blend of architectural ideas that the Brookes brought with them and the architecture of the indigenous Iban of Sarawak. It is a building that was designed according to a set of parameters and desires not limited by colonial British ideas and architecture of the time and the space given to the local is highly unusual in terms of late 19th century colonial architecture. This paper attempts to tease out the syncretic ideas of the Brooke regime and test them against the architecture of Fort Alice, to bring out the unique origins, strategies and methods employed in their design and construction.

  • Vernacular Prefabrication in the Colonial Context: the 1862 Bintulu Type Fort in Sarawak
    Vernacular Prefabrication in the Colonial Context: The 1862 Bintulu Type Fort in Sarawak John Ting University of Canberra The design, procurement and implementation of the Sarawak government’s 1862 fort in Bintulu (on the northwest coast of Borneo) represented modern approaches. It was a standard design that appeared to contrast with vernacular and indigenous typologies. Its primary structure was prefabricated in the capital, Kuching, before being shipped out for erection. While defensive, it also introduced modern institutions to newly acquired areas. The Bintulu Type fort was also implemented at Sibu (1862), Mukah (1863), and Baleh (1875, moved to Kapit in 1880). Unlike most colonial jurisdictions, Sarawak’s government explicitly relied on the dynamic maintenance of political relationships with locals, and negotiations and collaborations with indigenous, regional migrant and colonial groups to maintain authority. Its governance was a hybrid of vernacular and modern systems, and its European leaders indigenised their rule. This hybridity and indigenisation extended to fort architecture. Second-generation British colonial buildings in Southeast Asia emulated metropolitan designs while masking local involvement. However, the vernacular materials and construction of the Bintulu Type fort clearly show the involvement of regional migrant and indigenous actors. While prefabrication and remote manufacture can be considered modern, the vernacular carpentry traditions adopted for the forts were demountable and therefore appropriate for remote reconstruction. Using historical ethnography methods and fieldwork at the last , edited by Victoria Jackson Jackson Victoria by , edited extant Bintulu Type fort at Kapit, this paper explores how vernacular and modern approaches were brought together in the procurement and implementation of the Bintulu Type forts.

  • Courts in Kuching: the Development of Settlement Patterns and Institutional Architecture in Colonial Sarawak, 1847 - 1927
    1119 Courts in Kuching: The development of settlement patterns and institutional architecture in colonial Sarawak, 1847 - 1927 John Ting The University of Melbourne Abstract James Brooke’s Sarawak Government originally obtained jurisdiction over the Lundu, Sarawak and Samarahan River basins that made up ‘Sarawak’ in 1841, when he was conferred the title of Rajah by the Brunei Sultanate. During his and his successors, Charles Brooke’s and Vyner Brooke’s, century- long rule of Northwest Borneo as the ‘white Rajahs,’ Sarawak’s territory expanded several times to become what is now the Malaysian state of the same name. While he employed Europeans in his government, Brooke also relied on indigenous officers and groups (and their spatial practices) as part of his adoption of indigenous forms of rule. He also appropriated indigenous and vernacular architecture and settlement patterns for his capital, Kuching, as well as new territories, during his tenure as Rajah. The location of his original court in Kuching followed Malay tradition by being located in his Malay nobleman’s house, built for him by Sarawak’s Bruneian governor in 1841. He began to develop the court as an institution when he moved his court out of his residence and across the river to the commercial side of Kuching in 1847. This location has had three different courthouses constructed on it. The third courthouse was then extended four times before World War Two, during the reigns of Charles and Vyner Brooke. This paper explores how the Government adopted and began to change indigenous spatial practices as part of their diverse approaches to governing.

For those unfamiliar with the term, benak means tidal bore and is a natural phenomenon where a continuous wave builds up from a river mouth and flows upstream during high tide. It is most spectacular around the 3rd and 18th day of each lunar calendar month and coincides with the King tide. Lupar river in Sri Aman is one in approximately 400 estuaries in the world where this natural phenomenon occurs and it remains one of the small town‟s main attractions and major crowd puller.

  • Conservation in Sarawak: the Case of the Old Kuching Courthouse
    124 Conservation in Sarawak: The case of the Old Kuching Courthouse Mike Boon Arkitek JFN John Ting The University of Melbourne Abstract The Old Kuching Courthouse (1874) was the second of ten buildings to be gazetted as a Historical Monument by the state government of Sarawak, (in Malaysia) since the legislation was introduced in 1971. Originally the Public Offices of the colonial Brooke government, it was taken over by Kuching’s courts by the 1970s. In 2000, the courts were moved, and the government decided to conserve and adaptively reuse the Courthouse as a tourism-based facility. This project was completed in 2003, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia. On the face of it, this was a model heritage project – not only was it completed on time, to the client’s requirements, and following the best practice of the time as laid out by the Burra Charter, it also went on to win national and regional architecture and heritage awards. However, its successes mask the relative newness of contemporary heritage practice in the state, as well as a number of gaps and inadequacies in Sarawak’s heritage legislation and administration. This relative unfamiliarity and legislative uncertainty, coupled with the political desires of the client body, created a tension that affected the process of conserving and adaptively reusing the courthouse.
