The Deputy Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government commended Persatuan Pengangkutan Lori Wawasan Sibu for their hard work and dedication which culminated in the official opening of the new lorry parking facility yesterday. “This facility will greatly benefit local and outstation lorry operators by addressing the issue of inadequate parking spaces and helping to prevent illegal parking fines issued by the traffic police, JPJ (Road Transport Department), and CVLB (Sarawak Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board). “This parking facility is strategically positioned near the town centre. This makes it highly convenient for lorry drivers, and its fair and reasonable pricing structure – whether on a daily or monthly basis – adds to its appeal. “I encourage more lorry operators to consider utilising this facility for their parking needs,” said the Pelawan assemblyman. It is informed later that there are 22 parking spaces for lorries at the new facility. Tiang’s text-of-speech was read by Kapitan Lau Sei Kwong, who represented him at the event. Adding on, Tiang said as responsible operators, the driver must park their lorries at safe and designated locations, rather than at the residential areas or by the road. “Such practices not only pose safety risks, especially during night-time or rainy weather, but also reflect poorly on us for not adhering to regulations. We must take responsibility for any potential accidents caused by such negligence.” Meanwhile, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing noted that for years, many lorries have been parking at residential areas or commercial centres due to the lack of parking facilities dedicated to them. “This has not only caused inconvenience and danger but, in some cases, damage to public infrastructure due to the weight of these vehicles. “Reports on such issues are common, reflecting the pressing need in this area. The thoughtfully planned and constructed new parking facility by your association addresses this demand effectively. “Its strategic location and multi-functional design provide a valuable solution for the industry’s challenges,” said Tiong, whose speech was read by a political secretary to Premier, Joshua Ting at the event. Tiong, who is Bintulu MP and Dudong assemblyman, believed that this parking lot for lorries at Jalan Tapang would offer a safe and convenient space for lorry drivers and transport operators to rest and park. “Whether for daily or short-term rental, the facility caters to diverse needs, especially benefiting operators requiring flexible, non-long-term parking solutions.” Adding on, Tiong said the Sarawak government remained committed to improving transportation infrastructure and supporting the logistics industry. “I believe that with joint efforts from the government and the public, more similar projects will be implemented to provide better support and security for the industry.” Persatuan Pengangkutan Lori Wawasan Sibu secretary Kho Kwong Tai in his speech said the facility has 22 parking lots, and is able to accommodate compact and large lorries. He said lorry operators will be charged a fee of RM30 for large vehicles and RM20 for compact vehicles, per day. “For those who opt for a monthly charge, we encourage them to join as members, during which they will be charged according to the size of their vehicle,” he said. Sibu Municipal Council deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley represented chairman Clarence Ting at the event, which was also attended by Councillor Rory Wong.Legal Compliance, Transparency Crucial For Election Legitimacy - IEC Chairman
WASHINGTON >> Donald Trump has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a federal TikTok law that would ban the popular social media app or force its sale, with the President-elect arguing that he should have time after taking office to pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. TikTok and its owner ByteDance are fighting to keep the popular app online in the United States after Congress voted in April to ban it unless the app’s Chinese parent company sells it by Jan. 19. They have sought to have the law struck down, and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. But if the court does not rule in ByteDance’s favor and no divestment occurs, the app could be effectively banned in the United States on Jan. 19, one day before Trump takes office. “This case presents an unprecedented, novel, and difficult tension between free-speech rights on one side, and foreign policy and national security concerns on the other,” Trump said in a filing today. “Such a stay would vitally grant President Trump the opportunity to pursue a political resolution that could obviate the Court’s need to decide these constitutionally significant questions,” the filing added. Free speech advocates separately told the Supreme Court today that the U.S. law against Chinese-owned TikTok evokes the censorship regimes put in place by the United States’ authoritarian enemies. Trump indicated earlier this week that he favored allowing TikTok to keep operating in the United States for at least a little while, saying he had received billions of views on the social media platform during his presidential campaign. The U.S. Justice Department has argued that Chinese control of TikTok poses a continuing threat to national security, a position supported by most U.S. lawmakers. TikTok says the Justice Department has misstated the social media app’s ties to China, arguing that its content recommendation engine and user data are stored in the United States on cloud servers operated by Oracle Corp while content moderation decisions that affect U.S. users are made in the United States as well.SYM Stock News: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP Urges Symbotic Inc.
