| Kecantikan alam semula jadi tarikan utama S'wak – BorneoPost <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Feb 2014 08:53 AM PST by Siti Aisyah Ramli. Posted on February 3, 2014, Monday KUCHING: Kecantikan alam semula jadi Sarawak serta kestabilan politik dan keharmonian kaum menjadi tarikan utama pelancong berkunjung ke negeri ini. Malah, suasana yang selamat menjamin kebebasan pelancong untuk bersiar di tempat-tempat menarik yang ditawarkan di negeri ini tanpa berasa diancam. Tinjauan Utusan Borneo di sekitar bandar raya Kuching semalam mendapati kebanyakan pelancong dari dalam dan luar negara bebas untuk berkunjung ke tempat menarik yang diinginkan. Menurut Tom Knight, 31, dari London dia berkunjung ke sini bersama isterinya Karolina Borkowska, 27, dari Poland selepas mendengar ulasan rakan-rakan yang pernah bercuti di sini. "Saya mengetahui sedikit sebanyak mengenai Sarawak melalui rakan-rakan yang pernah berkunjung ke sini. "Sebelum saya dan isteri membuat keputusan untuk datang bercuti ke Sarawak, kami juga telah membuat kajian mengenai Sarawak dan keindahan alam semula jadi yang ada di sini menjadi faktor utama membuatkan kami ke mari," katanya ketika ditemui di Tebingan Kuching, semalam. Selain bandar raya Kuching, Knight juga akan menghabiskan percutiannya dengan melawat Taman Negara Bako untuk melihat spesies-spesies hutan yang ada di sana. Manakala bagi Paul Allard, 66, dari Jerman pula, dia dan isterinya mula terpegun dengan kecantikan panorama Sarawak ketika mengunjunginya pada 2008 dan berhasrat untuk kembali lagi ke sini pada tahun ini. "Kami pernah melancong ke Sarawak pada 2008 yang lalu dan setelah kembali ke negara asal, kami menyimpan hasrat untuk kembali lagi ke sini pada tahun ini dan akhirnya hasrat kami telah tercapai. "Sarawak mempunyai tarikan alam yang boleh membuatkan peneroka alam seperti kami menjadi gila kerana keindahannya begitu luas untuk dilupakan," katanya. Pada masa sama, Paul berkata dia turut mengagumi kebersihan bandar raya ini yang disifatkan sentiasa terpelihara oleh pihak berkuasa tempatan. Lain pula pendapat Mark Jezzel Olive, 33 dari Alaska, dia menyifatkan keramahan masyarakat berbilang kaum di sini mencantikkan lagi peribadi bandar raya Kuching sebagai destinasi tumpuan pelancong. "Saya menyukai keramahan orang Sarawak yang tidak segan menyapa saya mahupun mengajak saya berbual. "Ia menjadi faktor utama kedatangan saya ke sini iaitu ingin mengenali masyarakat Sarawak dengan lebih dekat," katanya.

| {latestItemTitle} Homestay <b>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.
