SIBU (June 18): The relevant authorities should give the public clear updates on the current status of the Rantau Panjang Jaya restoration project.
Democratic Action Party (DAP) committee member Stanley Chiew said the landslide at Rantau Panjang Jaya, which occurred five months ago, had taken a heavy toll on the residents staying at the affected stretch.
“Residents are still looking for answers but to date, there is still not development taking place, no updates, and everything just came to a standstill. Right now, they are all completely in the dark.
“The 38 residents affected by the landslide are still waiting in vain, hoping every day for reconstruction to begin so they can eventually repair their homes and return to their lives,” he told reporters during a site visit yesterday.
Chiew said the residents wanted to know when the restoration project would begin, what stage it was in, how long it would take and when it would be completed.
“Before the Hari Raya celebrations, the relevant authorities visited the site and publicly pledged emergency funding had been approved. They promised restoration work would begin immediately after the festive season.
“However, even the Gawai Dayak festival has come and gone; the site remains completely silent with no signs of construction and no official updates whatsoever.”
He said they also wanted to know when the lighting at Jalan Teku would be fixed.
“The landslide caused the closure of Seventh Lane’s main exit, which significantly disrupted the daily commute for local residents. However, they have no choice but to rely solely on Jalan Teku for access.
“However, this road lacks proper lighting, leaving it pitch black at night. On top of that, potholes frequently appear, posing a serious safety risk — if an accident or closure occurs along Jalan Teku, residents here will have no other way to get out. If an emergency happens, help will be delayed and the situation could become very serious,” he said.
Chiew said what was even more disappointing was that the affected area falls under the Nangka constituency, which is represented by Datuk Dr Annuar Rapaee, and as a high-ranking official in the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) administration, he should actively work with the State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) to get things moving.
He said Deputy Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government Datuk Michael Tiang also had an obligation to step in and coordinate efforts.
“Unfortunately, I have seen no proactive measures taken by any GPS state ADUNs/YBs in response to this issue, even though they are all part of the Sarawak government.
“Let me stress this clearly — the SDMC and its implementing agencies operate under the Sarawak government and the five GPS ADUNs in Sibu — Nangka, Pelawan, Bukit Assek, Dudong and Bawang Assan — have a responsibility to care for the people living here.
“Although this area falls under Nangka, the residents living here come from many different voting areas including Nangka, Pelawan, Bukit Assek, Dudong and Bawang Assan. They bought houses and moved here, but their voting address remains in their original constituencies,” he said.
As such, he said elected representatives should not use constituency boundaries as an excuse to avoid responsibility.
KUALA LUMPUR: Pengaruh Monsun Barat Daya sejak 10 Mei lalu mengakibatkan fenomena cuaca kering dan panas dengan bilangan hari tanpa hujan lebih tinggi dijangka berterusan sehingga September ini.
Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (METMalaysia), Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip, berkata kejadian ribut petir dan hujan lebat masih berlaku dari semasa ke semasa, terutamanya di kawasan Barat Semenanjung, Utara Sarawak dan Barat Sabah pada waktu pagi manakala di kawasan pedalaman Semenanjung, Sarawak dan Sabah pada waktu petang serta malam.
“Fenomena garis badai yang membawa hujan lebat dan angin kencang di Pantai Barat Semenanjung, Utara Sarawak dan Barat Sabah juga boleh berlaku terutamanya pada awal pagi semasa keadaan atmosfera adalah sesuai.
“Untuk tempoh tujuh hari lalu iaitu antara 10 hingga 16 Jun lalu, kebanyakan stesen mencatatkan suhu di bawah 35 darjah celsius kecuali stesen di Batu Gajah, Perak mencatatkan 36.7 darjah celsius pada 15 Jun manakala 36.5 darjah celsius di Limbang pada 13 Jun,” katanya lapor BH.
Beliau berkata, bacaan suhu menunjukkan penurunan yang lebih rendah di semua stesen, susulan hujan yang berlaku beberapa hari lalu.
“Buat masa ini, METMalaysia tidak mengeluarkan sebarang amaran cuaca panas, susulan hujan beberapa hari lalu.
“Mengenai keadaan laut di perairan negara pula, kami ada mengeluarkan amaran angin kencang dan laut bergelora kategori pertama dengan ombak mencapai ketinggian 3.5 meter (m) dan angin mencapai 50 kilometer per jam (km/j) di perairan Selat Melaka Utara dan Perairan Phuket berkuatkuasa sehingga Khamis ini (19 Jun),” ujarnya lagi.

HANOI – Angka kematian di Vietnam akibat hujan lebat dan banjir yang dibawa Taufan Wutip meningkat kepada tujuh orang, kata pihak berkuasa hari ini.
Wutip tiba di daratan di selatan China hujung minggu lalu bersama angin kencang selaju 128 kilometer sejam sebelum lemah dan bertukar kepada ribut tropika.
Tujuh orang terkorban, 100 rumah rosak dan hampir 60,000 hektar tanaman ditenggelami air di tengah Vietnam, demikian menurut kemas kini pihak berkuasa pengurusan bencana hari ini.
Vietnam dilanda kira-kira 12 ribut tropika setiap tahun, tetapi pada bulan Jun, ribut biasanya menjejaskan utara Vietnam dan beransur-ansur bergerak ke selatan negara itu menjelang hujung tahun.
Lewat minggu lalu, tengah Vietnam termasuk bandar warisan dunia Hoi An, mengalami banjir serius yang menyebabkan kematian, mengganggu lalu lintas dan merosakkan tanaman.
Tahun lalu pula, bencana alam meragut 514 nyawa di Vietnam, tiga kali ganda lebih banyak berbanding 2023.
Pada September 2024, utara Vietnam musnah akibat Taufan Yagi, yang membunuh 345 orang dan menyebabkan anggaran kerugian ekonomi sebanyak AS$3.3 bilion (RM14.13 bilion). – AFP
MUMBAI: India's monsoon has revived after stalling for more than a fortnight, and rains are set to cover central parts of the country this week, bringing relief from the heatwave in the grain-growing northern plains, two senior weather officials said on Monday.
The monsoon, the lifeblood of the country's nearly $4 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70% of the rain that India needs to water farms and replenish aquifers and reservoirs.
Nearly half of India's farmland, which has no irrigation, depends on the annual June-September rains for crop growth.
The monsoon has revived after a fortnight as a favourable weather system has developed in the Bay of Bengal, which would help the monsoon to cover entire central India this week, an official of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) told Reuters.
Monsoon rains on Monday covered almost entire western state of Maharashtra and entered into neighbouring Gujarat and central state of Madhya Pradesh, the official said.
The Monsoon's onset over Kerala occurred on May 24 and quickly covered southern, northeastern and some parts of western India ahead of its usual schedule, but its progress has stalled since May 29, according to an IMD chart that tracked the monsoon's progress.
The monsoon has gained the required momentum, and heavy rainfall is likely over west coast, central and some parts of north India in next ten days, which will significantly bring down temperatures, another weather official said.
India has received 31% lower rainfall than average in the first half of June, but in the second half the country is set to receive above average rainfall, the official said.
Monsoon rains are set to progress quickly in the next few days and could cover most parts of the country before the end of June, the official said.
Summer rains usually fall in Kerala around June 1 before spreading nationwide by mid-July, allowing farmers to plant crops such as rice, corn, cotton, soybeans and sugarcane.
