KMC Flat Lawas House Gutter Collapsed
由於昨晚的一場大雨，導致市政局剛裝修完工的古晉市議會平民房兩層樓（老越）屋頂天花板以及水槽塌下，所幸當時並未造成人命傷亡。民主行動黨炮轟南市市政局的豆腐渣工程，草菅人命！
古晉區國會議員張健仁特別助理鄭世興在隨同浮羅岸區州議員黃慶偉前往巡視時表示，很慶幸並未造成人命的傷亡。同時，只是因為一場雨就導致坍塌讓人無法原諒。
鄭世興也通過設立在該處的政府工程通知告示牌了解到，工程完工日期是在4個月前。對此他指出，工程才剛完工4個月就發生了天花板坍塌事件讓人覺得質疑是否涉及偷工減料，也讓人質疑該承包商是否有依照工程指標去完成。
所以要求市政府要為此事附上全責，給人民一個交代，儘快通知承包商在最短的時間進行修復以及徹查天花板塌下的原因是否有涉及到偷工減料的因素，並嚴密監督所有工程的進行，因為市政府倘若花費了龐大的費用來進行這項工程卻得不到應有的效果，這根本是在浪費納稅人的錢。

Himpunan Hijau 2.0 Kuching 古晉綠色盛會2.0
Press Statement by Dr. Tang Sie HingSMSL urges the authorities to exercise restraint to allow citizens their democratic rights and to give them the space to peacefully express themselves in the forthcoming Sunday’s Himpunan Hijau 2.0 rally in Kuantan. Chairperson of SMSL, Mr Tan Bun Teet explained, “The people have fought hard to stop Lynas and a number of other environmental problems. It is our duty as responsible and caring citizens to keep our country and our family safe.” Earlier this month, a temporary operating licence was issued to Lynas Malaysia, a wholly owned operation of Australia’s Lynas Corporation for its controversial rare earth refinery plant in Gebeng, an industrial estate about 20 km from Kuantan. “We have tried every possible avenue and yet the Government has gone ahead with its bad decision which threatens our future. It is understandable that this will spark outrage and anger amongst people.” said Haji Ismail Abu Bakar, Vice-Chairperson of SMSL. He added, “Many families living in kampungs along the coast in Pahang will be directly affected once Lynas starts to dump its waste water into the South China Sea. These families depend on the seafood and tourism industry. They run small businesses to sustain their livelihoods. Who will want to buy contaminated seafood? Who will want to holiday next to a toxic plant?” SMSL is disappointed that the Government has not taken on board grave concerns of the public which leave the people no choice but to take to the street to protest. The injustice is felt everywhere, not just in Kuantan but the whole of Malaysia. The good reputation of Malaysia is at stake over the handling of this issue. The Lynas issue is a problem for ALL Malaysians. The pollution will spread over a wide area even into our ASEAN neighbours through the South China Sea. Contaminated seafood and agricultural produce can create serious food safety issue not just for the people of Kuantan but to all the consumers of agriculture and seafood and seafood products. Air pollution from the Lynas plant can be carried far and wide by the north eastern monsoon wind. Where will Lynas find a permanent location for its waste? Which state in Malaysia or which town in Pahang will be the next target? Having a polluting industry will deter investment from clean technology and ethical companies which is the way of the future. Rare earth oxides are crucial raw materials but locating it in an ecologically sensitive area so close to so many families is a bad and regressive move. “SMSL has engaged a strong team of experts to prepare for our legal action with the help of the Pahang Bar. We have strong grounds and we want to leave no stone unturned to present the strongest possible case. Letting Lynas operate is NOT an option.” This Sunday, SMSL and our members and supporters will be gathering next to the site of the previous tennis court near Padang MPK4 at Jalan Kemunting to meet and greet our interstate supporters. We want to thank them in person for their tremendous effort and support to create a better future for Malaysia.
Kuching DAP Response
1. Join in solidarity with our friends all over Malaysia today in supporting the people of Kuantan in rejecting Lynas Corporation’s rare earths processing plant in Gebeng or anywhere in Malaysia.
2. Urge the government in Malaysia to withdraw the temporary operating licence (TOL) for the RM 700 million Lynas Advanced Material Plant in Gebeng, Kuantan and put the interest and safety of people of Kuantan and Malaysia first and not cronies first.
3. We are here to make a stand as Sarawakians that we resist any attempt or plan to set up any rare earth processing plants in Sarawak or make Sarawak a dumping ground for the radioactive waste.
4. Call upon our friends who reside in Australia to rally their local members of parliament to pressure Lynas to withdraw the plan to set up the plant in Kuantan.
5. Last, we want to tell the people of Malaysia that if Barisan Nasional government continues to ignore the requests of her law abiding citizens, A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IS THE ONLY SAFE SOLUTION FOR MALAYSIA!

Press Statement on 13 January 2012
Press Statement by Dr Tang Sie Hing
Issue: Inaccurate Press Statement Made by Dr Hu Chang Hock
Source: Below is the clip of a press statement which appeared in Sin Chew Daily which was published on 12 January 2012, the daily edition was read by readers in central part of Sarawak.
My response:
1. I noted Dr Hu spoke as advisor to MMA Sibu Sub Branch and regrettably he gave the wrong or outdated facts to the reporters. He erred on saying there are only 2 brain specialists (腦專科醫生) in Sarawak.
2. Currently in Sarawak, there are 7 brain specialist doctors (NOT 2 AS STATED) serving as follows (facts confirmed with the individual specialists):
a. 3 neurosurgeons （腦外科專科醫生） in Sarawak General Hospital
b. 1 adult neurologist （成人腦內科專科醫生）in Sarawak General Hospital
c. 1 paediatric neurologist （小孩腦內科專科醫生）in Sarawak General Hospital
d. 1 neurosurgeon（腦外科專科醫生）in Normah Medical Specialist Centre (private hospital)
e. 1 adult neurologist（成人腦內科專科醫生）affiliated with Timberland Medical Centre (private hospital)
3. With Dr Hu’s press release which is not consistent with the current brain specialists working in Sarawak, it might have caused the following untoward consequences:
a. Dr Hu speaking on behalf of MMA Sibu Sub Branch gave the wrong information and I wonder where his source was and whether any verification was sought with the President of MMA Sarawak Branch in Kuching. This is public embarrassment as many doctors and patients have called up doubting his press statements and he spoke in the capacity as “advisor” and look like he gave the wrong advice.
b. Dr Hu might have inadvertently caused unnecessary distress to the medical colleagues who have worked as brain specialists in Kuching for the last many years and not being recognised locally.
c. Dr Hu’s mistake in giving wrong information during press release might have embarrassed the Malaysian Medical Association which is a National Association for Medical Doctors.
4. Hence
a. I urge the public not to accept Dr Hu’s statement as it is not factual.
b. I urge Dr Hu to apologize for his mistake.
c. I have informed Dr Mary Suma Cardosa who is the current president of Malaysian Medical Association via email of the above incident and seek to clarify the following matters:
i. In making press statement on behalf of MMA, is there a need to seek authorisation from national President as in Dr Hu’s case, he spoke as “advisor to MMA Sibu Sub Branch”?
ii. What are the possible ramifications to the public and medical fraternity in the case like Dr Hu who gave wrong factual information?
iii. If Dr Hu is found to have made press statement which contains wrong facts and may have affected the best interest and reputation of MMA, will MMA take disciplinary actions on Dr Hu?
