| {latestItemTitle} <b>Homestay di kuching</b> - Come Sarawak - Blogger Posted: 02 Feb 2014 09:10 AM PST  This post is also available in: Iban, Malay  1/2 million ringgit price tags on CMS built homes in Bandar Samariang The Taib family company CMS proudly boasts of its "vast land bank" in its annual reports and has started selling off chunks for tens of millions in Kuching. Commercial centres and grand housing estates are also being developed in two key areas, Bandar Samariang, where CMS has 5,200 acres, valued around half a billion ringgit, and of course on the Kuching Isthmus, where land is even more expensive. But, how did CMS acquire all this property and who has benefitted? Sarawak Report has acquired shocking information about the way Taib and his family members have profited from this land, which was forcibly taken (official term is 'alienated') from local people and state ownership. We did it to help the poor The story that the Chief Minister told from the start was that this was land that difficult and expensive to develop, but that his family company was kindly determined to provide housing for poor people. Back in 2001, he even made out that CMS was doing this supposed favour in Bandar Samariang entirely "for the people's benefit" for "not much profit", because other developers didn't want to get involved in such a loss-making venture!
Such a kind old fellow!  Chief Executive and key shareholder at the time, Taib brother Onn Mahmud Interestingly no mention has ever been made again of these poor soil conditions by CMS. This is probably, not least, because in every other country in the world, developing tropical peat soil has been banned, because of the severe environmental consequences. To gain a sense of the value of this land handed to CMS in the guise of helping the poor, consider the recent news that the company has decided to sell on a parcel of 500 acres for over RM45million to Sentoria Group to build a theme park. Suddenly, another developer has been found willing not only to take on the job of developing the land, but to pay big money for the plot. However, this time of course the money has gone to CMS, not the government or the people from whom the area was 'alienated'. At the time CMS got this land for free it was largely owned and run by Taib's brother Onn Mahmud, who shortly after passed on his shares to Taib's wife, with the remainder being largely in the hands of the Chief Minister's four children. No nepotism at all then! Sucking money out of pensions too  Robert Geneid, the Head of CMS Property Development and husband of Taib's sister Raziah Mahmud. But, of course, the Taibs didn't really want to invest their own money in this mission to assist the poor with 'quality low cost housing'. Far better to use their influence to encourage the government controlled Employee Provident Fund (EPF) to put in the money instead. After all, this fat milk cow has been used to pour vast sums of money into endless pet projects to benefit BN politicians, meaning public employees can look forward to far lower pensions, despite being forced to pay a quarter of their salaries into the obligatory savings fund controlled by the government. EPF therefore was dragged into a joint venture with CMS and the investment in the "low cost housing" in Bandar Samariang began. But, in fact, low cost housing was only ever planned to form a small part of the project from the very start. The original terms of agreement, as explained in CMS's own annual reports, made clear just 1/3 of the area was to be housing for the less well-off.  Housing for the poor? The rest of the huge site was to be developed as an ambitious commercial enterprise. CMS's 1997 Annual Report was certainly not bashful about the profit-driven nature of CMS's latest housing project or the ambitions of its new Property Development Division, headed by the new husband of Taib's sister Raziah, the Lebanese Australian, Robert Geneid. It also reveals that, thanks to Taib's ability to pull the strings, that the State Housing & Development Commission had already been tasked with buying whatever 'quality low cost housing' CMS Property produced on the site, ensuring a guaranteed profit.
So, in fact, a mere 4,000 units of the token low cost housing have been included in the first phase of the project, all promoted in the beginning in a blaze of positive publicity, before CMS moved speedily to the much more lucrative "medium cost" housing, where units are currently being sold for the very fancy prices of anything up to half a million ringgit!  Phase 1 – including 4,000 low cost housing units guaranteed to be purchased by the Housing Committee Of course, the fact that the state has ploughed in major infrastructure, in terms of roads and amenities into the area, has made the development potential of this project ever more lucrative. Yet, the Chief Minister is still justifying his handing of it all to his family in the name of charity for Kuching's poor!  Presiding over his family's vast profitable land venture. However, this mother of all land grabs from the Sarawak people is just the start of the story of how the Taib family set about enriching themselves from this project. In 'Phase 2′ of our investigation we will be looking at how individual members of the Taib inner family circle, set about using the massive housing project to develop profitable businesses for themselves, with disastrous consequences for the very poor people in whose name the Bandar Samariang land grab was executed.

| {latestItemTitle} <b>Homestay di kuching</b> - Come Sarawak - Come <b>...</b> Posted: 26 Apr 2014 10:05 AM PDT wah wah.. jangan lari. Cerita cuti ni seminggu pun belum habis. Banyak sangat nak dicerita dan banyak sangat perkara menarik yang berlaku. Selepas pulangkan kunci homestay kepada penjaga, kami bergerak ke Kampung Benuk Homestay kira-kira 34 Kilometer dari Bandaraya Kuching. Dari Kuching ambil jalan arah untuk ke Lapanganterbang dan ikut arah ke Kota Samarahan atau Serian. Bagi pelawat luar, menandu dan mencari arah perlu berhari-hati. Kalau dalam bandar, panan tanda belum menunjukkan arah ke bandar terdekat sebaliknya hanya menunjukkan nama jalan. Terus terang, Google Maps sangat membantu. Samsung S3 saya banyak 'makan bateri' kerana Google Maps! Mari ikut saya dan keluarga melawat tempat menarik di Kuching, Sarawak. Sebelum tu, boleh baca dulu entri terdahulu yang merangkumi hari pertama dan kedua di sini : 1. Pengalaman Pertama Menginap Di Backpacker Hotel Berambih Lodge Kuching2. Homestay Santubong Legenda Pantai Puteri
Ambil Jalan Penrissen, kemudian Jalan Kuching – Serian , Jalan Kota Padawan dan berjumpa bulatan comel ada arca burung. Ambil jalan Puncak Borneo. Selepas lebih kurang 3KM, akan jumpa Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Memandu lebih kurang 15 minit sehingga berjumpa Kampung Benuk Bidayuh Longhouse. Disitulah Homestay Kampung Benuk. Kami sampai ke Kampung Benuk Tourists Information Cente hampir jam 11. Untuk masuk dan melawat rumah panjang di Kampung Benuk, pelawat perlu membayar RM5 seorang. Saya dah buat temujanji dengan Encik Ewing Senon iaitu pengurus di rumah panjang ini. 5 minit selepas membuat panggilan, Encik Ewing pun sampai.
Inilah Rumah Panjang Kampung Benuk. Bentuk rumah panjang dibina tinggi untuk mengelak serangan musuh, binatang buas atau banjir. Pada masa dahulu, tangga akan dinaikkan apabila malam untuk mengelak rumah panjang dicerobohi musuh. Atap rumah panjang menggunakan rumbia atau sagu dan dinding juga pelantar atau lantai rumah menggunakan buluh. Tiang menggunakan Kayu Belian.
Ewing Senon sedang menerangkan sejarah dan pembinaan rumah panjang kaum Bidayuh di Kampung Benuk. Kayu Belian yang amat terkenal tahan dan lasak digunakan sebagai tiang dan kerangka utama pembinaan rumah panjang. Tangga ini adalah binaan asal yang berusia lebih 100 tahun.
Inilah bentuk tangga asal di rumah panjang – dua beradik ni tak henti naik turun main tangga. Agak licin kalau melaluinya dengan kasut tetapi orang zaman dulu berkaki ayam, tak ada masalah.
Ruang rumah panjang menggunakan lantai diperbuat daripada buluh. Ruang yang terdedah ini menggunakan buluh yang lebih tahan lasak kerana kesan hujan dan panas. Perlu diganti setiap tahun. Rumah panjang asalnya sebuah, apabila seorang anak telah berkahwin, akan dibina sebuah lagi berhampir dan bersambung dengan ruang seperti ini. Begitulah turutannya sehingga membentuk satu perkampungan yang mempunyai pertalian anak beranak saudara mara.
Anak-anak etnik Bidayuh yang baru balik dari tadika. Ruang rumah panjang yang terdedah ini bukan saja digunakan sebagai laluan penduduk tetapi mereka menjemur getah, padi, lada atau jagung di tempat ini.
Kemudian kami terus berjalan sepanjang laluan rumah panjang hingga ke Baruh atau Panggah atau rumah kepala iaitu rumah ketua bagi etnik Bidayuh di Sarawak. Baruk ini biasanya berada di tengah-tengah rumah panjang tempat ketua dan pahlawan kampung berkumpul dan bermesyuarat. Binaanya sesuai untuk tugas pemantau kampung dari serangan musuh atau binatang liar.
Ini namanya Ranji yang dibuat daripada rotan. Biasanya orang Bidayuh bawa ke kebun ( umai ) untuk mengisi hasil yang dituai.
Ewing akan terangkan segalanya mengenai rutin kehidupan yang dilalui oleh penduduk dan memori zaman membesarnya.
Hampir 98 peratus pengeluaran lada di Malaysia datangnya dari Sarawak, jadi dimana-mana saja kita boleh lihat penduduk menanam pokok lada. Ada yang berkebun segara besar-besaran dan ada yang sekadar menanam disekitar halaman rumah.
Untuk menyeberang sungai ke kebun, inilah jalannya. Sebuah jambatan buluh yang dibina hampir 30 kaki tingginya. Menurut Ewing, mereka bina jambatan disetiap sungai yang perlu dilitas apabila ke kebun.
Setiap pelawat yang datang ke Sarawak, mesti melalui pengalaman menarik melalui jambatan buluh di Kampung Benuk. Barulah dapat rasa kembali ke asal usul dan menyelami kehidupan budaya mereka. Seronok dapat merasai sendiri pengalaman berharga ini. Seronok juga kerana dapat mendedahkan anak-anak dengan pengetahuan yang mereka sukar temui. Kalau korang datang melawat Kuching , sila masukkan rumah panjang Kampung Benuk di dalam senarai tempat menarik yang perlu dilawati di Kuching. Ada beberapa pakej penginapan yang disediakan di homestay mengikut keperluan pelawat. Selepas melawat kebun, kami balik ke homestay Kampung Benuk. Makan masakan tempatan pucuk timun dan beras tempatan yang berlainan dari kebiasaan.
Tunggu entri akan datang untuk cerita selanjutnya.. ada banyak sebenarnya yang ingin dikongsi untuk menceritakan gambaran pengalaman tersebut tetapi rasa dah berjela-jela saya menaip. Terima kasih Encik Ewing yang ramah mesra memberi penerangan sepanjang lawatan ini. Sesiapa yang ingin menghayati dan mengalami sendiri pengalaman seperti ini, bolehlah hubungi | ||||||||
