蔡細歷：收集資料討論 關注國陣修改章程

（吉隆坡8日訊）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷指出，馬華高度關注國陣修改章程事宜，同時委任以副總會長顏炳壽為首的委員會，負責收集相關資料，以供討論。

他說，他們在今天的馬華會長理事會會議中，提及修改國陣章程事宜，唯因為討論過程中，大家有不同意見，因此有必要再次開會，針對所收集的資料，作深入探討。

帶來很大影響

他今日主持約一句鐘半的馬華會長理事會會議后，這么指出。早前他也主持了馬華中委會，歷時也是一小時半。

他說，顏氏將向會長理事會提呈所收集的資料，一旦達成共識，馬華將把結論提呈國陣最高理事會。

“我們高度關注修改章程事宜，因為它會給國陣成員黨帶來很大影響。我們要強調的是公平對待所有成員黨。”

首相兼國陣主席拿督斯里納吉于今年初主持國陣最高理事會議后，宣布國陣將舉行大會討論修改黨章事宜，以便承認支持國陣的政黨、非政府組織及獨立人士的地位。

2補選顯示
華裔選票回流

蔡細歷指出，馬華事后詳細分析沙巴峇都沙比國會議席和吉蘭丹加臘士州議席補選投票站，發現華裔選區有華裔選民回流跡象，證明更多華裔選民支持國陣。

他指出，馬華很榮幸國陣的華裔選票提高，馬華將會持續保持團結精神，繼續確保華社支持國陣和馬華。

蔡細歷也感謝副首相丹斯里慕尤丁領導這兩次補選，並感謝人民支持國陣候選人，國陣才贏得這兩場補選。

針對什么因素令華裔選票回流，他說，這可能是多方面因素，包括首相較早前推行的經濟轉型計划，首相向人民解釋轉型計划后，華社大多接受和支持。

“政府全力支持經濟蛋糕擴大，私人界都接受，隨著支持率上升，相信這影響選票。”

蔡細歷說，同時，馬華積极進行很多團結活動和計划，馬華也不再用以前形式與人民接觸，包括不再舉辦大型講座或隆重晚宴。

“我們舉行與人民更接近的小型講座，也沒有如以往般宣佈撥款來拉攏人民，這都可能都是勝利因素。”

一個馬華醫藥基金
已籌獲800萬

蔡細歷指出，一個馬華醫藥基金籌款活動已成功籌獲800萬令吉，距離籌款目標至少1000萬令吉，還欠200萬令吉。

他說，他們已決定在12月13日晚上8時，舉行“一個馬華醫藥基金晚宴”。首相拿督斯里納吉將受邀出席赴會，受邀者還包括各位善長仁翁。

蔡細歷說，馬華會長理事會也核准需要協助病人所需的申請條件，以衛生部長兼馬華署理總會長拿督斯里廖中萊為首的委員會，將鑑定相關指南和條件，確保病人申請援助程序可加速處理。

他透露，委員會成員包括政府和私人醫院專家。

蔡氏強調，基金會提供的援助是給大馬公民，不分種族，最重要是協助真正需要幫助的國人，並幽默地說，“當然整容不包括在內，我們是不會理會的！”

Our tactics worked, says Chua

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional won both Galas and Batu Sapi by-elections because the 1Malaysia concept has been better explained to the rakyat, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

He also attributed the coalition’s victory to the introduction of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) which had received stronger support especially from the Chinese community.

“The ETP would have an expanding economic cake because it is private sector-driven. It will benefit all races because of the good economic growth of 6%,” Dr Chua said after chairing the MCA central committee and presidential council meetings at the Wisma MCA here yesterday.

He said the people also responded more positively to Barisan because of the unity in the party.

“If we do not achieve unity, it is difficult to get support outside the party.

“We have also changed our campaign strategy. Notice that there was no big ceramah or dinner? The campaigning was very low-key and emphasis was on human contact,” he said.

He added that no granting of allocations were announced as such moves were often twisted by the Opposition as an act by Barisan to get votes.

“I must say that the move (not to announce allocations) has gone down well. Whatever that has been promised, we will fulfil,” he said.

Dr Chua said there was an increase in the number of people who voted for Barisan including from the Chinese community.

“It has been agreed that MCA will continue to work hard at increasing the support for the Barisan coalition, including Chinese voters,” he added.

On Nov 4, Barisan candidate Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) won the Batu Sapi parliamentary seat with a 6,359-vote majority.

She polled 9,773 votes, defeating PKR’s Ansari Abdullah who polled 3,414 votes and SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee who had 2,031 votes.

Barisan wrested Galas from PAS with a 1,190-vote majority with Abdul Aziz Yusoff garnering 5,324 votes against Dr Zulkefli Mohamed from PAS who obtained 4,134 votes.

（柔佛‧新山7日訊）傳一把聖火，象徵延續我們傳承自身文化的使命。

昨晚在南方學院舉行的全國華人文化節大匯演壓軸儀式，即點燃聖火是在開幕嘉賓首相之代表柔州務大臣拿督阿都干尼伉儷蒞臨後進行。

火把由華社高層領導人一手接著一手傳遞，最後由開幕嘉賓們一起點燃。

負責代表傳遞文化火把的是（按排序）柔州華總青年團團長兼火炬禮主任張俊宜、第廿七屆全國華人文化節柔佛州工委會主席陳聯順，最後由新山工委會主席林奕欽、華總會長丹斯里方天興、馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷，聯合開幕嘉賓柔州務大臣拿督阿都干尼等四人，一起在南方之鼎點燃聖火。

儀式一開始，數十名身穿白衣藍褲的南方學院生每人手持一支火把，兩旁排開形成一條火炬之路。這時，身穿鮮紅色大會制服的火炬手張俊宜，在約40名來自新山五幫會館青年團、新山中華公會青年團和柔州華總青年團成員組成的隊伍護航，及在一聲雄壯呼喝聲中，從嘉賓席一路沿著火炬之路跑向中央舞台。

4月起傳遞全柔各縣

陳聯順和林奕欽接著一手傳一手傳遞火把，最後由開幕嘉賓阿都干尼聯合為大會點燃“南方之鼎”，隨之龍獅聞鼓聲起舞，象徵著第廿七屆文化節的27盞孔明燈相繼被點燃，大匯演活動正式開幕。

這項聖火自今年4月份，由文化節工委會成員從馬六甲三寶山帶到全柔各縣，經過昔加末、峇株巴轄、巴力拉惹、亞依淡、永平、新加蘭、笨珍、居鑾等地，於昨晚傳到大匯演現場。

納吉面對黨內外阻力‧蔡細歷：開放政策需華裔支持

（柔佛‧峇株巴轄5日訊）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷表示，首相納吉在推出各項開放政策及措施時，無論在黨內或黨外都面對了阻力，對首相提出這些有利於華社的政策，華裔應當給予首相鼎力支持。

蔡細歷昨晚為馬華米那務固支會舉行的“全峇蘇添福杯華閩語卡拉OK比賽”籌募活動基金晚宴主持開幕，在會上致詞時如此表示。他也在會上宣佈撥款1萬令吉予米那務固支會。

他表示，若首相推出一系列改革開放及國家經濟轉型的政策無法獲得華社支持，相對的，他也面對來自自己族群的阻力，這將可能令他感到氣餒。

他也強調，華裔應全力支持首相，才有助於落實國家經濟轉型及一個馬來西亞理念。他說，馬華支持首相並非是為了“擦鞋”。

蔡細歷指出，首相於去年宣佈廢除27個服務領域的土著股權固打制的政策已見成效，今年首10個月大馬便有23間公司掛牌上市，去年全年只有40間公司宣佈上市，此外近兩年內掛牌上市的還包括5間來自中國的公司。

多項改革落實一個大馬

他說：“如果說國陣自308大選後並沒有作出改變是不正確的，因為國陣在經濟、獨中及華小教育等華社課題上已經宣佈多項改革政策，正以實際行動逐步落實一個馬來西亞概念。”

由於昨晚適逢加臘士和巴都沙比補選成績出爐，蔡細歷也第一時間在會上宣佈國陣在兩場補選中大獲全勝的消息，引來全場熱烈掌聲及鼓勵。

蔡細歷在會上也不斷感謝選民給予國陣候選人的支持，尤其是華裔選民投給國陣的神聖一票。

Clear swing in Chinese votes, says Chua

PETALING JAYA: There is a significant swing in Chinese support for the Barisan Nasional in the Batu Sapi and Galas by-elections, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

He said the thumping win by Barisan for the by-elections in Kelantan and Sabah showed that the Chinese community was rooting for the coalition.

There are 2,317 Chinese voters in Galas or 20.06% of the 11,553 voters.

“There is an increase of between 40% and 60% of Chinese support this time around,” Dr Chua said while thanking the Chinese community for their support.

Barisan wrested the Galas state seat from PAS with a 1,190-vote majority on Thursday.

Dr Chua said the Chinese community realised the importance of supporting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and the 1Malaysia policy under his leadership.

The Chinese had also taken note of a more united and stable MCA which was serving the people as a team, he added.

Dr Chua, who had been in Galas for four days during the campaign period, said he had taken note of the problems in the area and would resolve them as agreed in principle.

“The people are very friendly, willing to talk about their problems and aspirations,” he said.

The two by-elections were the first since the last general election where there was an increase in support from the Chinese community.

MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the victories showed that the people are supporting the 1Malaysia concept.

He said the people also welcomed the ETP and the National Key Economic Areas promoted by the Government.

“These are the two main reasons the Chinese voters have returned to the Barisan. They are happy with the current MCA leadership, hence the rise in votes from the community,” he told reporters at the MIC Deepavali open house yesterday.

Meanwhile, MCA vice-president Datuk Chor Chee Heung said the people’s support for the Barisan in Galas and Batu Sapi showed that they were confident that the coalition would be able to bring about development.

蔡细历：华人票回流 国阵是时候履行承诺

（峇株巴辖5日讯）马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生指出，国阵在两场补选中漂亮胜出，接下来将履行补选前许下的承诺！

他认为，国阵辉煌的成绩，显示出华裔选票已明显的回流国阵。

“我们在补选时，与正副首相讨论不要再像以往一样宣布拨款，因为一宣布拨款作为当地的发展用途时，一些政党就指责国阵大派糖果，侮辱华社。”

改变竞选策略

他说，国阵改变方式，应该做的事国阵都会去做，例如将当地一所华小的重建计划纳入“第十大马计划”中，而非拨款予该校进行重建的方式。

蔡细历也是马华峇株巴辖区会主席，他昨晚为马华米那务固支会举办的“全峇苏添福杯华语及闽南语卡拉OK歌唱赛”主持开幕后，这样说。

国阵言出必行

“我认为国阵的做法正确，我们当时收集很多人民要求及资料，包括华社及华团的要求，我们答应了（华社所提出的要求）就一定会去做及落实，除非一些属于州、县市议会管辖范围内的问题，就会比较辛苦。”

他表示：“在3·08大选时，我们在加腊士的4个以华人居多的投票站输了400多票，这一次国阵反胜200多票，支持率也从40多巴仙增加至60多巴仙，这对于选票回流国阵，我们感到非常高兴。”

他也说，国阵在补选中没进行大集会，只是办小型座谈会。

询及补选胜利，是否意味着国阵在来届大选时更具信心，蔡细历说：“我没有这个感觉。

MCA thanks voters for supporting Barisan Nasional in Galas and Batu Sapi

PETALING JAYA: The MCA thanked Chinese voters for their solid support for Barisan Nasional in the by-election in Galas and Batu Sapi.

Party president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said the results had been very obvious, especially in Galas, where there was a noticeable swing of Chinese support to the Barisan.

The are 2,317 Chinese voters in the Galas state seat, or 20.06% of the 11,553 voters. Dr Chua said Barisan had won by some 200 vote- majority in the four voting streams (saluran undi) with Chinese voters in Galas, compared to losing 400 votes in the last general election in 2008.

“There is an increase of between 40% and 60% of Chinese support this round,” Dr Chua said.

Barisan won Galas with a 1,190 majority on Thursday. PAS won the seat in the last general election.

The MCA president said the solid Chinese support showed the community had realised the importance of supporting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and programes like the Economic Transformation Programme and 1Malaysia policy under his leadership.

The Chinese had also taken note of a more united and stable MCA; a party working and serving the people as a team, and one that was worthy of their trust and support, he added.

Dr Chua, who had been in Galas for four days during the campaign period, said he had taken note of all the problems in the area, and would resolve them as agreed in principle.

“The people are very friendly, willing to talk about their problems and aspirations, and also listened attentively,” said Dr Chua when asked whether there was any indication of the Chinese swing to the Barisan during the campaign period.

He said the entire team in MCA also made sure the voters made informed decisions; from distributing adequate publicity materials to meeting as many voters as possible to provide them with more indepth explanations on matters affecting them. “We do this in small gatherings in Galas, as well as Batu Sapi,” he said.

Dr Chua said the two by-elections, were the first two since the last general election, where there was an obvious increase in support from the Chinese.

He also noted that there was increasing awareness among the people that the Opposition was good in making promises but not delivery.

Meanwhile, MCA vice-president Datuk Chor Chee Heung said the people’s support for the Barisan in Galas and Batu Sapi showed that they were confident that the coalition would be able to bring development to them, and also solved their problems.

Chor, also Alor Star MP and Housing and Local Government Minister, said the more serious floods which affected more areas in Kedah currently had also shown that the Pakatan state government had not been able to handle the problems affecting the people in an effective manner.

蔡细历：建设团结多元社会，大马要成为中庸模范国

Deepavali message by MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MCA wishes all Malaysians of the Hindu faith a Happy Deepavali. It is a celebration not for Hindus alone but for all Malaysians to rejoice this meaningful day as one.

It is the time of the year again when we are greeted by beautiful lights sparkling from the homes of Malaysians of the Hindu faith.

The kaleidoscope of colours illuminating from each home represents the diversity of Malaysia and the religious tolerance which we enjoyed.

As we celebrate this auspicious festival, we must also appreciate the peace and racial harmony prevailing in the country which allows us to enjoy the celebrations without any hindrance.

Without religious tolerance, Malaysia would not have reached thus far as a nation that has achieved so much.

In line with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s call for a Global Movement of Moderates (GMM), Malaysians should showcase to the world that we can be an exemplary and model nation against extremism.

We should pursue the path of moderation for sustainable growth, impartiality, equality and reject conflicts and discard the culture of hate and jealousy.

We need to amplify the voices of logic, reasoning and moderation. Malaysia should not allow a few with narrow thoughts to dictate or challenge the ideals of other right thinking Malaysians.

Malaysia is blessed with the diversity of race, cultures, traditions and festivities which makes it a colourful country blessed with the sights, sounds and voices of pluralism.

No voice, whether they are from the Malays, Chinese or Hindus, is less significant than the other. We all have equal voices and no one should be less important than the other.

We have always witnessed the coming together of all Malaysians at the venues of the various festivities. This is a manifestation of our strength that has evolved into an excellent recipe of tolerance, acceptance and co-existence.

The 1Malaysia concept should be given support as it personifies a culture of unity and cohesiveness.

As Malaysians, we should also be reminded that we must stay intact together to strive for the betterment of the country and jointly help grow the economic pie, instead of squabbling over the size of the slice.

HAPPY DEEPAVALI

马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生屠妖节献词（4/10/2010）

蔡细历：建设团结多元社会，大马要成为中庸模范国

马华祝贺全马的兴都教徒屠妖节快乐。对马来西亚来说，屠妖节不仅仅属于兴都教徒，而是全体大马子民共同欢庆的日子。

在这一天，在每户兴都教人家里点燃的灿烂灯光，再次伴随我们迎接佳节。这些光彩，象征了我们一直所享有的，马来西亚多元文化与宗教之间的相互谅解。

在庆祝这个吉祥节日的当下，我们亦必须了解到，唯有在推崇和平与宗教宽容的国家，才能让我们得以在不受任何干扰的情况下，享受佳节的欢乐。在没有宗教宽容的精神下，马来西亚将不可能取得现有的非凡成就。

为响应首相拿督斯里纳吉号召的“全球中庸运动”（Global Movement of Moderates），马来西亚人民必须向全世界展示，我们是一个有能力抗衡极端主义的模范国家。

我们应该在中庸途径下追求可持续性发展、公平与公正，以及拒绝任何冲突和仇恨文化。我们需要强化逻辑、理性和中庸的声音，马来西亚绝不能允许少数思想狭隘的狂热分子，主宰其他拥有正面思想的人民的权利。

马来西亚得天独厚之处，在于我们多元族群、文化与节庆的特征，我们是一个拥有多元景象与声音，丰富多彩的国家。所有族群的心声，无论是马来人，华人或印度人，都是同等重要的。各族群都拥有平等的发言空间，没有任何一个族群比另一个族群重要。

一直以来，大马子民共同欢庆各族的庆典活动，这是我国体现宽容、互相接纳与社会和谐的象征。因此，我们必须支持一个马来西亚理念，因为它提倡的是团结与凝聚。

身为大马人，我们必须时刻警惕与保持团结，为建设更美好的国家而共同努力，携手推动经济的发展，而不是为了各自所分得的份额而相互争吵。如果国家陷入经济危机或不稳定的状态，没有人会得到任何好处。

最后，我呼吁那些回乡的游子们小心驾驶。请将欢乐的笑容带回家，因为你的家人在等待着。

谨祝：屠妖节快乐！

Chua: Liberalise more policies to bring in FDIs

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia needs to liberalise more policies and open up further to foreign investors to draw in the millions.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who made the call, said that with the country’s foreign direct investments dipping by 81% last year, the logical thing to do was to liberalise more sectors to remain competitive globally.

“Besides enabling the country to attract more foreign businesses and encouraging them to make Malaysia their regional hub, liberalising the market will also create more jobs for our people,” he said in his keynote address at the 2nd World Chinese Economic Forum dinner at a hotel here.

He said the liberalisation of the services sub-sectors and removal of the 30% bumiputra equity requirement for newly-listed companies had made investment conditions less restrictive.

Dr Chua said the increase in the number of listings in Bursa Malaysia indicated that the moves were well received.

Based on Bursa Malaysia’s records, a total of 38 new listings of companies were recorded between June last year (when the equity requirement for newly-listed companies was removed) and Oct 15 this year, he said.

He said that last year, there were a total of 14 new listings but for the 10-month period for this year alone, there were already 23 new listings.

Urging the Government to maintain consistent policies, he added: “We cannot have an ambiguous or flip-flop policy where the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. If we need to simplify the way of doing business in Malaysia, by all means we have to make it happen.”

Dr Chua said that with the oil and gas sectors reaching a stage where Malaysia was already an established player on the global stage, the Government should consider liberalising the two sectors.

This was to allow more non-bumiputra investors to be joint-venture partners, contractors and sub-contractors in areas such as exploration, platform construction, logistics, deep-sea operations and others, he said.

Likewise, he said, the telecommunications sector should also be liberalised as increased competition would ensure that consumers got the best deals and services they deserved.

The MCA chief said Malaysia should be ambitious and bold enough to initiate a China-Malaysia Economic Caucus to enhance economic relations and explore possible areas of collaboration and cooperation in trade, technology and science.

“The growing outflow of capital from China seeking investment opportunities in the region has begun, and in future years and decades, it could multiply into a flood,’’ he said.

Chua wants more details on campaign incident

KUALA LUMPUR: MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek wants to hear both sides of the story of the incident involving Malaysians for Beng Hock Movement.

As of now, he said, the need to apologise does not arise.

He said he would listen to the views from Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Min ister Heng Seai Kie and the Gua Musang division secretary and not depend on what people said or what he had read.

“I need to get more details from Heng and the division secretary to get a clearer picture,” he told reporters at the 2nd World Chinese Econ omic Forum here yesterday.

He said the Teoh Beng Hock issue had been used by a certain political party as a tool to attack the Govern ment.

“The fact that a political party has stooped so low to use this unfortunate incident as political capital, I would say is unfortunate.

“In politics, there must be some ethics, but this issue has been used to distract voters,” he added.

He said the issue had been politicised because if the movement wanted to lobby for support from the MCA, they need not wait until a by-election to do so.

Last Saturday, members of the movement were said to be involved in an incident during a campaign event attended by Heng. Four people were arrested, although they were soon released on police bail.

In Gua Musang, MCA vice-president Datuk Chor Chee Heung said the party was confident of gaining 50% of Chinese voters’ support for Barisan Nasional.

Feedback from Chinese voters in this by-election was more encouraging than the support shown during the 2008 general election, he said.

“The response from the voters has been very positive and they told me they would give Barisan a chance this time,” he said after a visit to Kampung Baru Gua Musang yesterday.

MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai also agreed on Chinese support for Barisan.

“The villagers have long been dissatisfied with the PAS government’s handling of the land lease extension issues,” he said.

Chua: We’ll keep tabs on History

IPOH: The MCA has set up a committee to monitor the contents of the History (Sejarah) syllabus taught in schools following the Government’s plan to make it a compulsory subject in 2013.

Party president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said the purpose of the committee was to ensure that the contents of History books were reflective of actual events.

“We will look at the contents and see where it has not been accurately interpreted or recorded.

“We want to see how History books are presented and later give our feedback to the Education Ministry,” he told reporters here after opening the 83rd anniversary celebrations of the Perak Chinese Assembly Hall here on Saturday night.

Dr Chua said that MCA central committee member Loh Seng Kok, who is also publicity bureau deputy chairman, had been appointed to lead the committee.

“History should be a record of all factual things.

“It should not be politicised or slanted for any political or racial reason.

“It should be an actual record of events that unfolded in the country,” Dr Chua said.

History, he added, should not be only about remembering dates.

“It should be more challenging in the sense that it should teach children the significance of an event.

“For example, what is the significance of Merdeka to all the races?

“Why should we have Malay-sia, rather than remembering when it was formed?” he explai-ned.

Asked if he felt present History books reflected all this, Dr Chua said: “I won’t say it doesn’t reflect this.

“We have gone through the present History book and we have even debated on it.

“It seems to give a lot of predominance to one particular race and neglected in passing on the role played by other races.”

蔡細歷：真正反映各族角色‧設小組監督歷史科內容

-------->張征雄（右5）贈送水果禮籃給蔡細歷（左4）。左起瞿述慈、張業榮、蔡偉強；右起洪茂元、陳辛堯、羅文躬及鄭奇能。（圖：星洲日報）

（霹靂‧怡保31日訊）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷說，馬華曾查看過歷史科目的內容，並進行相關辯論，發現該科目似乎由特定一個種族主導，以及忽略其他種族對國家歷史所扮演的角色。

他說，為了進一步回應教育部將於2013年把歷史科列為大馬教育文憑考試必須及格科目，馬華已成立一個特別小組，監督歷史科的內容。

他說，歷史科將成為必須及格科目，內容或訊息應要真正反映各族扮演的角色，而不是偏袒任何一個種族。

“歷史是記載事實，不應把它政治化或種族化，我們非常關心這個問題。”

他說，馬華委任中委兼宣傳局副主任盧誠國領導這個特別小組，向教育部反映意見，以便確保該科目沒有錯誤詮釋及記載史實。

（霹靂‧務邊30日訊）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷勸告觀賞魚飼養者進行土地測量，以確定他們養魚的範圍和土地面積，然後才與州政府討論，以一勞永逸地解決土地問題。

蔡細歷今日下午在馬華務邊區會與務邊觀賞魚業者公會同人進行對話時，勸告觀賞魚業者進行土地測量，然後繼續和馬華聯絡，馬華將呈上州政府，以進行討論。

他過後向記者說，觀賞魚業者必須要有組織地解決他們面對的問題，而自從他上任為馬華總會長後，這公會即不斷地向他提出他們的問題。

資料須詳細充足

他表示，觀賞魚業者應該要有更詳細和充足的資料，因為土地問題牽涉技術和法令的問題。

他指出，目前州農業發展機構已在處理務邊拉灣古打和拉灣古打重組村的觀賞魚業者的問題，預料將有九十到一百名業者受惠。

至於位於端洛百利新村、雙溪依迪和務邊附近園坵的觀賞魚業者，他說，必須先做土地測量工作。

黃煜添及張歷新：
土地問題十多年未解決

務邊觀賞魚業者公會十多人在主席黃煜添和秘書張歷新帶領下，出席這項對話會。

黃煜添和張歷新向蔡細歷指出，他們於八十年代錫市崩潰後，即開始在務邊一帶廢礦湖飼養觀賞魚，多達90%是在非法地經營，而他們的土地問題，在過去十多年都沒有獲得解決。

他們表示，他們曾經提出土地申請，可是一般上沒有獲得當局反應。

務邊一帶擁有216名觀賞魚飼養者，都是自己經營，他們飼養的觀賞魚，有許多出口到外國。

出席對話會的霹靂農業發展機構官員阿茲米表示，如果這些業者飼養觀賞魚的土地是屬於這機構，問題將很容易獲得解決，可是如果土地屬於州政府，該機構則無權干涉。

蔡細歷今日在務邊的行程包括訪問新咖啡山一間印度廟，而撥款2萬令吉給這印度廟，霹靂州行政議員拿督馬漢順則撥款1萬令吉。

出席上述對話會的人士包括馬華霹靂州秘書拿督陳進明、馬華務邊區會主席曾振銓、署理主席曾鎮池、副主席曾廣海、馬青團長郭伯護、婦女組主席游繡琴。
