Tan Sri Samsudin Osman Presiden Perbadanan Putrajaya Tan Sri-Tan Sri/Datuk-Datuk/Tuan-Tuan dan Puan-Puan yang dihormati sekalian. Selamat pagi, salam sejahtera dan salam 1Malaysia. Terlebih dahulu marilah kita bersyukur kerana kita dapat sama-sama hadir di Majlis Pelancaran Kempen Menanam 26 Juta Pokok pada pagi ini. Saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk merakamkan penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada YB Senator Dato’ Raja Nong Chik bin Raja Zainal Abidin, Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan dan Kesejahteraan Bandar serta Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, Presiden Perbadanan Putrajaya di atas kesudian membenarkan Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar (NRE) menggunakan tapak yang sangat strategik di Presint 5 ini bagi melaksanakan pelancaran Kempen Menanam 26 Juta Pokok dengan tema“Hijaukan Bumi: Satu Warga, Satu Pokok”. 2. Saya juga amat berbesar hati dan berterima kasih dengan sokongan yang diberikan oleh semua Yang Amat Berhormat Menteri Besar dan Ketua Menteri yang turut melancarkan kempen ini secara serentak di seluruh negara pada pagi ini. Sokongan seumpama ini boleh saya terjemahkan sebagai menggambarkan semangat 1Malaysia rakyat di negara ini yang cintakan kehijauan bumi dan kesejahteraan alam sekitar. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan hadirin yang saya hormati sekalian, 3. Ingin saya maklumkan di sini bahawa pelancaran Kempen Menanam 26 Juta Pokok di Putrajaya ini adalah selari dengan “Program Penghijauan Putrajaya” yang dilaksanakan oleh Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan dan Kesejahteraan Bandar. Program sebegini merupakan sebahagian daripada hasrat Kerajaan untuk mewujudkan suasana persekitaran semula jadi yang segar; memberi kesedaran bahawa menghijaukan dan memelihara alam sekitar adalah tanggungjawab semua pihak; serta memupuk minat menanam pokok dan mencintai alam sekitar bagi rakyat Malaysia. 2 4. Dalam hubungan ini, NRE telah merancang program jangka pendek dan jangka panjang untuk meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat mengenai pentingnya pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan alam sekitar melalui program penanaman pokok bagi tempoh 5 tahun akan datang. Usaha penanaman pokok ini adalah selaras dengan komitmen Malaysia untuk memastikan bahawa sekurang-kurangnya 50% daripada keluasan tanah negara dilitupi kawasan berhutan seperti yang dinyatakan semasa Persidangan Rio pada tahun 1992. Pada masa ini, jumlah keluasan kawasan berhutan adalah 56.4% dan jika termasuk kawasan- kawasan tanaman pertanian negara, ianya meliputi 75% daripada keluasan tanah negara. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan hadirin yang saya hormati sekalian, 5. Pada majlis pelancaran kempen pada hari ini, sejumlah 16,200 pokok akan ditanam di seluruh negara di mana 500 pokok akan ditanam di tapak pelancaran ini. Manakala selebihnya akan ditanam di tapakpelancaran di Alor Star, Kedah; Kangar, Perlis; UiTM Seri Iskandar, Perak; Bachok, Kelantan; Kemaman, Terengganu; Pulau Melaka, Melaka; Seremban, Negeri Sembilan; Kulai, Johor; Temerloh, Pahang; Padang Kota Lama, Pulau Pinang; Hulu Selangor; Kota Kinabalu, Sabah dan Petra Jaya, Kuching, Sarawak. Hari pelancaran ini merupakan langkah pertama NRE di dalam melaksanakan Kempen Menanam 26 Juta Pokok.Jenis-jenis pokok yang akan ditanam di seluruh negara pada pagi ini meliputi pelbagai jenis dan kategori flora seperti cengal, cempaka, keruing, balau, kalumpang dan lain- lain ke arah mempelbagaikan biodiversiti di Putrajaya ini. 6. Kempen menanam pokok akan diteruskan dalam tempoh 5 tahun iaitu dari 2010 hingga 2014 bagi mencapai sasaran 26 juta pokok. Bagi tujuan ini, penanaman pokok seterusnya akan dilaksanakan secara berperingkat dan dipantau pelaksanaannya secara berterusan oleh jabatan/agensi yang bertanggungjawab di bawah NRE sehingga mencapai 26 juta pokok menjelang tahun 2014. Dianggarkan seluas 38,470 hektar kawasan hutan terosot, kawasan hutan yang telah dibalak dan kawasan pesisiran pantai negara akan ditanam di bawah kempen ini menjelang 2014. Di samping kempen ini, Kerajaan juga akan berusaha 3 untuk memperluaskan kawasan berhutan di seluruh negara kepada 60%. Adalah diharapkan dengan usaha-usaha yang dilaksanakan ini, matlamat Kerajaan untuk memperluaskan kawasan berhutan daripada 56.4% pada masa ini kepada 60% daripada keluasan tanah negara akan dapat direalisasikan. Ini bermakna, kita perlu melipatgandakan usaha untuk menambah seluas 1.0 juta hektar kawasan berhutan bagi mencapai sasaran 60% kawasan berhutan negara tersebut. 7. Kempen yang akan dilancarkan pada hari ini adalah untuk melengkapkan pelbagai program penanaman pokok yang telah dilaksanakan sebelum ini. Suka saya maklumkan bahawa Jabatan Lanskap Negara telah melaksanakan “Kempen 20 Juta Pokok” bagi tempoh 1997 hingga 2020. Perasmian kempen tersebut disempurnakan oleh Y.Bhg. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad pada tahun 1997. Sehingga tahun 2009, sebanyak 17 juta pokok telah ditanam di seluruh negara di bawah kempen tersebut. Selain itu, program-program di bawah kempen tersebut merangkumi “One Birth, One Tree” dengan Kementerian Kesihatan, “Pokok Untuk Kehidupan” dengan syarikat-syarikat perumahan; dan “Program Penghijauan Negara” dengan sekolah-sekolah. 8. Tidak dinafikan bahawa kesejahteraan rakyat melalui persekitaran yang selamat dan bersih merupakan salah satu inisiatif yang telah diperkenalkan oleh Kerajaan melalui slogan ”Satu Malaysia - Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan.” Justeru itu, kempen yang akan dilancarkan pada hari ini merupakan komitmen Kerajaan dalam usaha menangani isu perubahan iklim. 9. Perubahan iklim yang berlaku di serata dunia di mana bahangnya juga dirasai oleh rakyat Malaysia sejak akhir-akhir ini telah membawa kepada kejadian kemarau dan banjir yang lebih kerap, perubahan cuaca, kenaikan paras air laut, kekerapan serangan penyakit berunsurkan vektor serta telah menjejaskan pengeluaran sektor pertanian.Pada penghujung kempen ini, iaitu pada tahun 2014, adalah diunjurkan sejumlah 200,000 tan karbon dioksida telah diserap. Angka ini akan dapat ditingkatkan sekiranya aktiviti menanam pokok diteruskan di seluruh negara. Justeru itu, tindakan yang lebih efektif pada hemat saya, ialah memupuk 4 kesedaran untuk menghijaukan kembali dan memulihara bumi tercinta ini di segenap lapisan masyarakat. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan hadirin yang saya hormati sekalian, 10. Hari ini, iaitu 22 April 2010 juga merupakan Hari Bumi Sedunia yang disambut di seluruh dunia. Malaysia tidak mahu ketinggalan untuk menyertai masyarakat dunia dalam menjalankan program-program yang memberikan fokus dan penyelesaian kepada isu perubahan iklim. Ingin saya mengingatkan bahawa sudah tiba masanya kita meletakkan kepentingan alam sekitar sebagai agenda utama dalam kehidupan dan aktiviti seharian kita seperti penjimatan tenaga elektrik dan air serta sama-sama berusaha untuk menyelamatkan bumi daripada terus terancam. Setiap lapisan masyarakat perlu berganding bahu dan bersatu tenaga dengan penuh jiwa dan raga untuk memulihara dan melindungi alam sekitar. Aktiviti- aktiviti meningkatkan kesedaran mengenai kepentingan alam sekitar dan menyayangi bumi perlu dipertingkatkan di peringkat sekolah, institut pengajian tinggi dan juga di kalangan masyarakat awam.Dalam hubungan ini, Kerajaan menyeru komitmen yang tinggi melalui sokongan yang padu dan kerjasama erat yang berterusan daripada sektor swasta dan badan bukan kerajaan (NGOs) untuk bersama Kerajaan mempergiatkan usaha-usaha murni ini. Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan hadirin yang saya hormati sekalian, 11. Pada hari ini juga, kita turut melancarkan sambutan di peringkat Kebangsaan tahun 2010 yang telah diisytiharkan sebagai Tahun Biodiversiti Antarabangsa (International Year of Biodiversity). Tahun 2010 telah dipilih sebagai Tahun Biodiversiti Sedunia di mana pemimpin- pemimpin dunia telah bersetuju untuk mengurangkan kehilangan biodiversiti menjelang 2010 semasa Sidang Kemuncak Bumi (Earth Summit) berkaitan Alam Sekitar pada tahun 2002. Sambutan Tahun Biodiversiti Antarabangsa di peringkat kebangsaan ini adalah penting untuk meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat tentang kepentingan biodiversiti dan tanggungjawab untuk mengurus serta memulihara biodiversiti dengan sebaik-baiknya. Justeru itu, saya mengajak setiap lapisan masyarakat, NGOs dan pihak swasta untuk berganding bahu bersama-sama Kerajaan di dalam melibatgandakan usaha kita untuk mengurangkan kehilangan biodiversiti di Malaysia. 5 12. Sebagai salah satu daripada 12 buah negara mega biodiversiti di dunia, saya merasakan adalah amat wajar untuk negara kita mengadakan aktiviti-aktiviti berkaitan pemuliharaan dan pemeliharaan biodiversiti bagi menyokong sambutan Tahun Biodiversiti Antarabangsa 2010 ini.Bertepatan dengan tema “Biodiversiti ialah kehidupan, biodiversiti ialah kehidupan kita”,Kerajaan sedang melaksanakan usaha-usaha memulihara kepelbagaian biologi dan pada masa yang sama juga meningkatkan penggunaan sumber-sumber asli negara secara berkekalan. Sejajar dengan usaha untuk melengkapi Dasar Kepelbagaian

    Labuan Will Be Developed In Tandem With Nation's Development - Muhyiddin Bernama October 30, 2012 LABUAN, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has assured that the government is determined and committed to stepping up development and prosperity in the Federal Territory of Labuan to be in tandem with the nation's overall development. Muhyiddin said the prevailing peace and prosperity in the country which received recognition as among the safest countries in the world should also be the pride of Malaysians including those in Labuan. "As a government leader, I want to see that Labuan continues to develop and prosper as the country is experiencing rapid development. In the past, there had been a major process of development but within a recent short time, we have moved forward even faster and notched many successes we had not thought of before." He said this at a gathering with about 10,000 people from all walks of life at Dewan Arena, Bukit Kuda Public Servants Housing Scheme, here, in conjunction with his one-day working visit to Labuan. Also present were Muhyiddin's wife Puan Seri Norainee Abdul Rahman, Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin and Labuan Member of Labuan Datuk Yusuf Mahal. Muhyiddin believes that with the peace enjoyed by all in the country, Malaysia can soon be among the top 10 most competitive economies after the World Bank Report on Doing Business 2013 has ranked Malaysia 12th among 185 countries. "Recently, it was also reported that Malaysia had made unexpected great strides in the manufacturing industry, tourism and oil and gas.

  • Speech by Y.B. Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai Minister of Health
    SPEECH BY Y.B. DATO’ SRI LIOW TIONG LAI MINISTER OF HEALTH, MALAYSIA AT THE “1MALAYSIA BRINGS DIABETES TO LIGHT” CAMPAIGN KLCC COMPOUND, 14 NOVEMBER 2009 @ 7.30 PM Y.B. Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin, Federal Territory Minister. Y.Bhg Dato’ Ahmad Fuad Ismail, Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur. Y.Bhg Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican, President & Chief Executive Officer, Petroliam Nasional Berhad. Y.Bhg Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Abu Bakar Suleiman, Chairman, National Diabetes Institute (NADI). Y.Bhg Emeritus Professor Dato’ Mustaffa Embong, Executive Director, NADI. Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Selamat malam and Salam 1Malaysia . 1. Firstly, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to NADI for inviting me to officiate at this historic event - “1Malaysia Brings Diabetes to Light”, right under the shadow of one of Malaysia’s icon, the Petronas Twin Tower. Congratulations to NADI for organizing this campaign in conjunction with World Diabetes Day, which is celebrated worldwide today. Ladies and gentlemen, 2. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to rise in Malaysia. Results of the two latest National Health and Morbidity Surveys showed a dramatic increase in the prevalence from 8.3% in 1996 to 14.9% in 2006 for Malaysian adults aged 30 years and above – an increase of 80% over a period of just 10 years. More worryingly, about a third (or 36%) of the diabetic population are undiagnosed! 1 3. This increase is surely very much linked to the vast increase in the prevalence of obesity in Malaysia. The same surveys showed that the prevalence of obesity had increased from 4.4% in 1996 to 14.0% in 2006 for adult Malaysians aged 18 years and above – an increase of over 200% in just 10 years.

  • PPR in Federal Capital to Use 'Lease and Buy' System Without Deposit - Ahmad Zahid Bernama Aug 14, 2016
    PPR in Federal Capital to Use 'Lease and Buy' System without Deposit - Ahmad Zahid Bernama Aug 14, 2016 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today announced the People's Housing Project (PPR) in the federal capital would be implemented based on the 'lease and buy' system without deposit payments to help ease the people's burden. Ahmad Zahid said he had directed Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor through the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to implement the matter accordingly. "For the children of PPR residents, I have instructed that they be offered school bus services for free (to help families from the urban poor)," he said when officiating the Lembah Pantai UMNO Division Delegates meeting here today. It was also attended by Tengku Adnan, who is also UMNO secretary general and Lembah Pantai UMNO Division chief Datuk Seri Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Home Minister, said he approved the application for the PPR because he understood the people's problem, and also because it was in line with the government's policy to reduce the rate of urban poor. "Urban poor is a reality. The government is committed to resolve problems of the urban poor, regardless of religion and race," he added. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO vice-president, told UMNO members that they did not have to hold government post to help the people. "For example, Raja Nong Chik, he is among the most hardworking UMNO division leaders, although he has no post (in the government), but has helped to solve many problems, among them on housing," he added.

  • UMNO Members Will Not Be Influenced by Dr Mahathir's Open Letter Bernama March 20, 2016
    UMNO Members Will Not Be Influenced By Dr Mahathir's Open Letter Bernama March 20, 2016 KOTA BAHARU, March 20 (Bernama) -- The open letter issued by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to UMNO branch members last Friday, will not affect the support and loyalty of Kelantan UMNO members towards Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as party president and prime minister. State UMNO Liaison chief, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said so far, the action of the former premier was no threat and would not influence the members of 2,000 Kelantan UMNO branches. "We have not detected any branch leader who is not supporting Datuk Seri Najib's leadership," he told reporters at a gathering with the Wisma Persekutuan community, here, today. In an open letter via his blog on Friday, Dr Mahathir had, among others, called for a motion of no confidence to be tabled at the UMNO branch meetings against Najib as party president and prime minister. Meanwhile, UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, when asked to comment on Dr Mahathir's action, said it was wrong as he was no longer an UMNO member. Mahdzir, who is also Education Minister, believed that UMNO branch members would not be influenced by Dr Mahathir's action to topple Najib. Speaking after an event with Kelantan school heads and principals, he said he could not accept Dr Mahathir collaborating with DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang, who all this while had been labelled by Dr Mahathir himself as anti-Malay. In KLANG, another UMNO Supreme Council member, Datuk Irmohizam Ibrahim, said the party leaders and members would not be influenced by any effort to divide UMNO and would stand solidly behind Najib as party president and prime minister.

  • Pakatan Mps Rise to Raja Nong Chik's Challenge Malaysiakini.Com February 7,2012
    Pakatan MPs rise to Raja Nong Chik's challenge MalaysiaKini.com February 7,2012 Three Pakatan Rakyat MPs, one each from DAP, PKR and PAS, have answered the call for a debate with Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin over the use of money from the Employees Provident Fund for a low-cost housing loan scheme. NONEThe trio, PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar (right in photo), DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua (left in photo) and PAS central committee member Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad (below), rose to the minister’s challenge through a joint statement. y4c nep forum 180107 dzulkefly ahmadThe English language daily Malay Mail yesterday quoted Raja Nong Chik issuing the call for a “one-to-one public debate”. He was quoted to have asked the three opposition MPs whether “these impoverished people cannot get housing without help. Are they saying that these people do not deserve housing?” And he added, that the opposition MPs should debate him “one-to-one in front of all the residents”. The three opposition MPs in a joint statement said that Pakatan Rakyat fully supports the noble objective of ensuring affordable housing for low income urban dwellers. “However, the fulfilment of this aim - home ownership for the urban poor - is the responsibility of the government of the day, and not the responsibility of Malaysian workers. “Hence, we are more than happy to debate with the minister in the interest of the public to ensure that all relevant issues are thrashed out in an open and transparent fashion.
