ITS IMPORTANT TO CARE FOR ENVIRONMENT AND CATCHMENT: YB Jenifer Lasimbang

by Oswald Sugat


PENAMPANG.   The 5th International World Water Day held here is to give wide knowledge to the young generation on the importance of caring for the environment and catchment as our source of water.  Assemblywoman for Moyog Jenifer Lasimbang said this when opening the event held at Kampung Terawi River Jetty and Open Stage Saturday 23rd March 2019.

Holistic community program includes fun runs, zhumba exercises, fishing competition and colouring ompetition for young school children helps to achieve these goals, she said.

The Vetiver grass planted near the river bank has very deep roots up to 6 meters not only protect the banks from erosion but can also clean up the water, she said. At the same time the fibre from the grass can be woven into bags and hats so we are planting these for the future, she added

During the drought season, the Water Department has been sending clean water supply to remote villages which were previously relying on gravity. We are also looking into alternative source of supply such as ground water, therefore it is very important not to pollute the environment, she concluded.

Earlier, MPKK chairman David Kimkee thank the District Office for trusting the village to hold the event for the fifth time for community awareness of the importance of water as our source of life and as well as sponsors including Sabah Drone, Tritonics, telco and motor care companies. The theme for the celebration was " Leaving no one behind"

Meanwhile, deputy director of DID Miklin Ationg said the draft Rules and Regulation for the Water Catchment Protection Ordinance is currently being studied by the State Attorney while the Main Ordinance 1998 also needs to be amended to suit the additional Rules.

PENAMPANG.  The Palliative Care Association (PCA) of Kota Kinabalu President Rokiah Yaacob and Deputy Liza Yong said male volunteers are most needed to provide palliative/hospice care to patients with incurable cancer in and around Kota Kinabalu.

They said this during a Charity Campaign visit by kindness NGO, PAKA led by Jefrey Leiking, thursday and to deliver gifts to all patient visiting the day care centre at Taman Rose, Jalan Penampang.

 

At present the President and committee members are mostly women with medical background who have retired, however there are a few lay volunteers. More males would be much welcome as their strength would be needed sometimes to help patients, however she stress that caring is not just on health but on the well being of the patients. She said their volunteers are from all walks of life such as lawyers, cooks, pilots, barbers amongst others because the activities at the day care centre include handicraft, gardening, haircare, karaoke but the most popular is massage and bingo. Sometimes we even arrange a visit such as chocolate factory and to the beach for them and some patients even tell that they have not seen the beach for years, she added.

 

At present the day care center only accepts the patients who are mobile, once a week on Thursday where they could be served home made breakfast. Whoever they are, we care for their quality of life until the last moments, she said in reference to the aims of the association.

Regarding the brief background of the association, Rokiah said it was founded by Datuk Dr Ranjit and registered in 1998. Fundraising are carried out every year and some grants are given by the government as well as Corporate sectors. All donors are welcomed which are tax exempted. The service of PCA are free of charge around 10 km while visits to homes are extended to 30 km and they have extended the service to Tuaran area. The cases are now not limited to cancer but also on other terminal diseases while their is no age limit, she said. Welcoming the visit by PAKA, Rokiah hope they can also be the ambassador of the PCA and tell the public what palliative care is all about.  In response Jefrey said the gifts delivered are from private individual donor such as C.C.Vun apart from the MP office.
