Pembaharuan Regata Sarawak 2008
Oleh Lucia John
Tiga kategori baru diperkenal untuk tarik ramai pelancong berkunjung ke negeri ini
KUCHING: Regata Sarawak 2008 akan memperkenalkan tiga kategori baru sebagai usaha menarik lebih ramai pelancong berkunjung ke negeri ini Ogos tahun.
Menteri Muda Pelancongan Hamden Ahmad berkata tiga kategori berkenaan ialah kategori 20 pengkayuh kerajaan dan agensi korporat (lelaki), 20 pengkayuh antara negeri dan 20 pengkayuh antara varsiti.
‘Kita berharap dengan adanya tiga kategori tersebut, Regata Sarawak mampu menarik lebih ramai penyertaan dari negara luar seperti Brunei, Kalimantan Barat dan Singapura.
“Ini penting untuk membolehkan kita mempromosikan beberapa acara tahunan di Sarawak,” katanya kepada pemberita di sini semalam.
Menurut Hamden, kategori lain yang akan dipertandingkan pada kejohanan itu termasuk tujuh pengkayuh (lelaki), 10 pengkayuh (wanita), 15 pengkayuh campuran, 30 pengkayuh lelaki (Trofi TYT Yang di-Pertua Negeri) dan 15 pengkayuh pelancong.
“Selain itu, kita membuka peluang peserta terbabit dalam kategori 15 pengkayuh lelaki, 20 pengkayuh hotel dan agensi pelancongan, 20 pengkayuh Inter Divison (lelaki) dan sebagainya,” jelas beliau.
Hamden berkata, tahun lepas pertandingan itu mencatatkan seramai 388 penyertaan daripada pasukan-pasukan handal seluruh negeri dan juga negara luar, membuktikan ia sentiasa mendapat sambutan daripada masyarakat.
“Kita akan terus mengelolakan pertandingan ini dengan lebih baik sejajar dengan kehendak kita untuk menjadikan Regata Sarawak acara unggul di negeri ini,” jelasnya.
Bagi memastikan penganjuran Regata Sarawak berjalan lancar kali ini, Kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia juga telah memberi geran sebanyak RM300,000 manakala Kementerian Pembangunan Bandar dan Pelancongan Sarawak (RM70,000), kata Hamden.
Sumbangan turut diterima daripada Shell Berhad (RM100,000), Petronas Malaysia Berhad (RM50,000), Ta Ann Holdings Berhad (RM30,000), dan Global Upline Sdn Bhd (RM30,000), tambah beliau.
Sementara itu, Hamden berkata pihaknya mungkin akan mengadakan pelancaran promosi Regata Sarawak di Pontianak pada 18 dan 19 Jun ini untuk memperkenalkan acara itu kepada para peminatnya di kawasan berkenaan.
‘Kita akan memastikan Regata Sarawak 2008 berlangsung dengan penuh meriah dan dapat memberi peluang kepada pelancong untuk mengenali negeri ini secara dekat,” jelasnya.

Border Town
2008/06/13
JOHN TEO: Is Malaysia ready for 'new' Indonesia?
PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi took time this week from what must be an extremely punishing work schedule these days to call at Bandar Mutiara, a new township that is just a stone's throw from Tebedu, the only major land border crossing between Malaysia and the entire Indonesian archipelago.
Bandar Mutiara should thus be Malaysia's main gateway into our giant neighbour and vice-versa. Yet it is merely a few rows of under-utilised shophouses that is far from fulfilling the government's ambitious game plan for a show-piece of cross-border industrialisation that takes full advantage of our infrastructural superiority and Indonesia's abundance of labour.The state government must be hoping that a dose of prime-ministerial attention will do wonders for the border-town-to-be, especially given the prime minister's close working relations with his Indonesian counterpart, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who incidentally also made the even more arduous trek to Entikong on the Indonesian side of the border recently.The state government cannot be more wrong -- but it is not alone here. The whole of Malaysia has not quite come to grips with the decade-old "new" Indonesia. It is an Indonesia where the diktats of distant Jakarta are increasingly of little material significance in the far-flung reaches of the archipelago.This new Indonesia calls for engagement on an entirely new, multi-sectoral plane. But if the regular meetings between Putrajaya and Jakarta and Kuching and Pontianak, the West Kalimantan provincial capital, are any indication, we have been slow to wise up to the new ways of doing things across the border.
A whole new layer of government at the greatly empowered regency level now holds sway, but it is largely ignored by our government officials. In towns across Kalimantan and Indonesia, sprawling new complexes housing new regency governments and parliaments have sprung up and bear testimony to their growing influence in the lives of ordinary Indonesians.A trip across the border now presents any visitor with a bewildering sense of a land under a perpetual cycle of electioneering, all made the more confusing by the apparent fact that the elections -- at regency, city or provincial levels and in different regencies, cities and provinces -- are not synchronised or coordinated in any way.Democracy can be and is often messy and unwieldy, but one cannot help wondering if it has to be so much more seemingly chaotic as in Indonesia. But I am digressing. The inescapable fact is that Indonesia has changed within the last decade, and we need to seek ways to deal with it beyond the traditional mode of cosying up to key leaders at national or provincial levels.Those Malaysians with business dealings in Indonesia are probably quicker in adapting to the need to cultivate and engage with all the new power brokers in all the local areas in which they operate.At the government-to-government level, is anything being done by Wisma Putra to address the need for our diplomats to reach out to such local decision-makers whose decisions may critically impact upon our business people operating in the country? As things stand, one gets the impression our nation's interests in Indonesia are hardly adequately served by a single full-fledged consulate in Pontianak and honorary ones in Makassar and Bali to cover the entire expanse of eastern Indonesia.Back to Bandar Mutiara. Planners at our side have this idea that Indonesian factory workers can come over to work during the day and return home across the border by night. But sparsely populated areas on the Indonesian side are not exactly teeming with potential workers. They still need to be bussed in from the towns and cities further from the border and may still require in-factory housing.I recently took the bus from Kuching to Pontianak. The winding road on the Indonesian side is a far cry from the four-lane expressway from Kuching to Serian from where the road to the border branches out. The bone-jarring Indonesian stretch of the journey took more than half a day. It will be in both countries' interests if at their next summit meeting, Abdullah and Susilo undertake to make upgrading the road a priority, possibly a joint project.

Gawai this Year
This year my family did not celebrate Gawai as we have moved to Kajang, Spend our holidays in Cameron Highlands...
So this Gawai there were no Palauing....
No Drinks
No fish
No Panggang Pork (Pictures from Nadai Nama Nama)
Exterp from Charles[CHARLES Fri 24 May 2002 (C) Britong Noodle News (BNN)]
Yes, those were the days. Thereafter, sometimes I miss Gawai, sometimes Christmas. Most of the time I miss both. Oh..., absence really makes the heart grow fonder. Last year I went back to the kampung for Gawai 'en famille'. The eating, drinking, house visiting and other merry-making were really enjoyable. But I was 'frust' when the cultural showcase that I promised the kids did not materialise - I told them that there would be non-stop gong-beating, berejanging grandmas who would give us grundungs like Santa Claus and many hanging skulls on the altar adorned with the old Sarawak flags and Baginda Kwin's portrait. Where have all the rituals gone? Maybe I was expecting too much, or trying to recreate the dogone days from a child's perspective of a bigger world.
WHAT FOOD OR DRINKS SHOUD WE SERVE DURING GAWAI TIME?
Well, since there is no such thing as a dry Gawai (or a buih-less JNP), then what is Gawai without chap langkau, chap apek, Tiger, Orang Jepun and Vat 69? But, if dry is what you want, then so be it. Let's get the mathematics straight - a bottle of Johnnie Walker (not the smuggled or duty not paid one) will get you many cartons of 7UP or Coca-Cola, enough to serve all the guests. And a kilogram of white pig's meat is equivalent to biscuits and cakes for half of your guests, minus the Milo. Calculate the savings yourself.
Also, chicken, pork and pekasams of any species were the compulsory menu for Gawai. Just one small problem though - some may not be that halal so will cause a bit of a problem for some of the guests. But, even if you go all the way to ensure their halality there is no guarantee that the food will be touched.
Conclusion - most of the gawai expenditure goes to food and drink. Thus it would be nice if we just use the cheaper ones. Furthermore, the ones we traditionally serve are not good for our health and safety - intoxicating, cause vomitting, affecting driving concentration, high-cholesterol, cancer-causing, etc. Replace with prahok or udang gagau. That's the advice you get if you ask a medical doctor or a religious adviser. But for us, we just want to know one thing - will we get the kicks and have a good time??
