Sabah drafting environs policy

KOTA KINABALU: A STATE-LEVEL environmental policy is being drafted,  focusing on not only  enforcement  but also  creating an educated public. State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said while many countries might have the laws, they don't guarantee no offences are committed. "You can have all the laws in the world, but if they are not followed, what good are they? The attitude must be that the people are obliged to be part of the enforcement. "What we want is an educated public who is not only (environmentally) aware but takes action to ensure enforcement is carried out," he said at the launch of a stakeholders' consultation workshop on the new policy here recently. Masidi also said the policy should be kept simple to enable the ordinary man to understand as well as make it easier to be implemented. He said an environmental policy was crucial to serve as a framework and guideline for decision-making in modernisation and industrialisation-related matters. He added that the new policy would be the state government's standard operating procedures. He was confident that it would be able to prevent, reduce and mitigate harmful effects on the environment and minimise any impact on humans. Masidi said the new policy would be based on five elements -- air, water, land, biodiversity and humans. The draft of the policy was expected to be completed by October. Source : New Straits Times

10 festivals funded by ministry for RM700,000

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry, through the Sabah Tourism Board, funded 10 annual festivals at the cost of RM700,000 at district level in the first half of this year. Assistant Minister Datuk Ellron Angin said as of last month, the ministry had contributed RM80,000 to assist in organising four festivals as requested by the districts. "In addition, the ministry also aided eight festivals at district level with a total allocation of RM210,250 last year," he said in reply to a question by Datuk Ramlee Marahaban (BN-Bugaya) yesterday. Ellron said the assistance was based on the impact of the festival through a set of criteria, including the ability of the festival to attract local and foreign tourists. "Apart from that, the generation of tourism revenue as well as the preservation of local culture and traditions were also considered." Meanwhile, Sabah Community Development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun, when replying to a question by Ahmad Bujang (BN-Sindumin) on the setting up of the 1Malaysia People's Store in Sipitang, said several locations in the district had been identified after a visit by the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry and Mydin.
