MALACCA: More than 5,000 locals and tourists here were treated to a cultural extravaganza recently to mark the historical city’s 1st year anniversary as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Held in front of the Independence Memorial next to the ruins of the 16th century Portuguese Santiago Gateway in Bandar Hilir, the night-long celebration was a colourful display of the city’s unique culture and heritage.

Besides the captivating dances by cultural troupes from the Malay, Chinese and Indian communities, spectators and special guests were also treated to cultural performances by Malacca’s unique communities such as the Baba-Nyonyas, Portuguese, Chittys and orang asli.

The brightest highlight of the night was a dazzling firework display at the end of the three-hour performances that was capped off by street dancing among performers and members of the public.


Let’s joget: The audience joining in the merriment during the celebration of the city’s first anniversary inscription as a World Heritage Site.

Tourist Tom Berube, 59, from Canada who was visiting Malacca with friends, described the colourful celebration as very entertaining and insightful.

“It is great to see the show tonight and I must say I learned a lot about the different cultures here by watching the performances,” he said, adding that Malaysia was a popular country known for its multiracial society.

Malaysian Izzati Ramli, 28, from Padang Temu echoed the sentiment but noted that the celebration this year was not as grand as last year’s.

“Last year, there were lion dances and poco-poco line-dancing.

“This time, there were only the traditional Kampung Morten Malay wedding and Chinese opera besides the performances by the Peranakans, Portuguese and Chitty communities,” she said.

She suggested that organisers include more performances to attract more visitors to the celebrations next year.


Mesmerising: Tourists snapping photos of the performances.

Earlier, Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the state would do its part to conserve and preserve the heritage buildings and living cultures found exclusively in the historical city.

He noted that the city had benefitted from its World Heritage Site status as it had helped promote the state and Malaysia to a wider global tourist market.

“It has been a wonderful year and the celebration tonight marks the beginning for Malacca to attain greater success,” he said in his speech.

Malacca Governor Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob, accompanied by his consort Toh Puan Zurina Kassim, later officiated the festivities by striking a 100-year-old traditional Malay gendang borrowed from Kampung Morten.

Malacca and Penang’s George Town were listed as heritage cities under Unesco’s World Heritage Sites on July 7 last year, after eight years of hardwork following their first application in 2000.

Golden Corporate Heritage’s RM1.2bil project in Malacca on track
By EDY SARIF


KUALA LUMPUR: Golden Corporate Heritage Sdn Bhd’s RM1.2bil development to turn parts of Malacca into an Arab City by 2012 is progressing well, said managing director Hesham Fathi.

“The pillar structures are already completed on Pulau Melaka as we are planning for the grand opening by March,” he told StarBiz recently.

The company, a collaboration between Arab and local businessmen, is transforming parts of Malacca city, namely Pulau Melaka, Klebang and Kg Jawa, into an Arab City after the first proposal to build the project in Klang Valley fell through.

The state government has a 10% stake in the project through Chief Minister Inc (CMI).

“We feel that the proposed Arab City in Bukit Bintang was inappropriate because of the surroundings. When the Chief Minister of Malacca invited us to do the Arab City in that state, the approval was done in just five hours,” Hesham said.

When completed, the RM250mil Arab City project on Pulau Melaka, which is reclaimed land located off the Bandar Hilir coast, will have 240 lots offering products from the Arab world, including 10 restaurants specialising in authentic Middle Eastern cuisines and a museum with genuine Egyptian artefacts.

“We are not going to sell or lease these lots as we are going to operate them by ourselves. The completion of Arab City will create about 850 jobs for the locals,” Hesham said.

Meanwhile, piling works in Klebang will start in three months for the construction of an Arab healthcare city, according to Hesham. It was reported that the Klebang site, which covers about 4ha and investment of RM700mil, will also involve the construction of a five-star hotel, a water theme park, an aquarium and a floating restaurant.

For the Kg Jawa development, Hesham said the site would see an establishment of 12 Arabic restaurants and coffee shops from different Arabic cultures.

As the site is facing the Malacca river, it would be “tastefully” constructed with Andalusian-styled domes, he said.

“I would like to stress here that the perception of eliminating business people (currently operating) in Kg Jawa and their heritage buildings is not true. What we are going to do is to develop the area and build much better business bazaars for them. By this, we are helping them upgrade their living and income as we are bringing tourists from the Middle East to shop here,” he said.

It was reported that on April 2, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam visited Kg Jawa and agreed that the historical section of the village would be excluded from the Arab acquisition.

The state had initially intended to acquire the entire village comprising 84 lots and covering 6.34ha but agreed to scale down the project following protests by the MCA.

Pemberian Kawasan Tambak Laut Di Klebang Besar
Parlimen Tangga Batu Hargai Jasa Kerajaan Negeri

BANDARAYA MELAKA, 26 Julai- Kepimpinan Parlimen Tangga Batu menghargai jasa baik kerajaan negeri kerana menganugerahkan 2.02 hektar tanah di kawasan tambak laut Klebang Besar bagi kemudahan pihak terbabit.

Ahli Parlimen Tangga Batu, Datuk Idris Haron berkata, beliau serta seluruh pucuk kepimpinan Japerun Klebang dan JKKK Klebang Besar berterima-kasih kepada Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam khususnya, terhadap penganugerahan tanah berkenaan di kawasan tambak laut di situ.

Katanya, daripada keseluruhan keluasan tanah yang dianugerah itu, seluas 1.2 hektar akan digunakan bagi membina sebuah masjid yang dinamakan Masjid Parlimen Tangga Batu manakala baki 0.8 hektar pula akan diusahakan untuk pembangunan bagi Yayasan Tangga Batu.

Menurut beliau, perancangan membina masjid berkenaan dijangka dilaksanakan kira-kira tiga tahun lagi dan ia diilhamkan beliau sendiri serta pucuk kepimpinan Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) Klebang Besar.

"Perancangan membina masjid berkenaan adalah selaras dengan pembangunan yang bakal dilaksanakan di sekeliling atau berhampiran kawasan tambak laut itu.

"Pembinaan masjid itu pada hakikatnya bertujuan supaya ciri-ciri kerohanian tidak ketinggalan atau tersisih daripada pembangunan yang dirancang di kawasan berkenaan," katanya ketika ditemui Melaka Hari Ini (MHI) di sini.

Selain itu, Idris berkata, pembangunan Yayasan Tangga Batu yang juga akan diwujudkan di kawasan itu pula adalah bersesuaian dengan peranan yayasan terbabit dalam aspek pendidikan, kebajikan dan ekonomi bagi masyarakat di dalam kawasan Parlimen Tangga Batu.

"Usaha mewujudkan tapak bagi kegunaan Yayasan Tangga Batu serta Masjid Parlimen Tangga Batu di kawasan berkenaan iaitu di tanah yang dianugerah kerajaan itu sememangnya sejajar dengan pembangunan lain yang akan di wujudkan di sekitar kawasan tambak laut di situ.

"Antara pembangunan yang akan dilaksanakan di kawasan ini termasuk pembangunan Arab City, Hub Perubatan malah juga terdapat Taman Tema dan Rekreasi Klebang Besar yang turut akan dibangunkan di kawasan berdekatan," katanya.

Justeru, menurutnya, meskipun pelbagai pembangunan di kawasan tambak laut Klebang Besar akan dibangunkan kelak namun masyarakat di dalam Parlimen Tangga Batu turut berpeluang mendapat manfaatnya apabila dianugerah tanah seumpamanya oleh kerajaan negeri.

"Sehubungan itu, saya amat berterima kasih pada pihak kerajaan negeri khususnya Ketua Menteri yang begitu prihatin dan menyedari keperluan masyarakat di kawasan Parlimen ini dengan menganugerahkan tanah seumpamanya yang boleh dimanfaatkan bersama," katanya.

Jamin Bekalan Mencukupi Untuk 270,353 Pengguna
TNB LABUR RM12.4 JUTA BIAYAI LIMA PROJEK BARU

BUKIT KATIL, 26 Julai - Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) telah membelanjakan RM12.4 juta bagi melaksanakan lima projek baru bagi memastikan kira-kira 270,353 pengguna di negeri ini menikmati bekalan elektrik yang mencukupi dan berkualiti tinggi.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif TNB, Dato' Seri Che Khalib Mohd Noh berkata, kesemua lima projek yang sedang giat dilaksanakan itu membabitkan kerja-kerja memperteguhkan sistem voltan tinggi.

"TNB sentiasa memberikan tumpuan kepada penyediaan bekalan elektrik yang berdaya harap dan berkualiti tinggi di samping memberikan perkhidmatan yang terbaik kepada rakyat Melaka," ujarnya berucap di Program Bersama Komuniti (CLOP) Peringkat Negeri Melaka di Dewan Datuk Demang Husin, kelmarin.

Teks ucapan beliau dibacakan oleh Ketua Jurutera (Operasi-Wilayah 2) Bahagian Pembangunan TNB, Ir Mustafa Din.

Katanya, antara projek-projek yang sedang giat dilaksanakan termasuk perentangan kabel bawah tanah 33kV dari Pencawang Masuk Utama (PMU) Ujung Pasir 132/33kV ke cadangan penubuhan PPU Taman Cempaka 33/11kV Bandar Melaka yang hampir 80 peratus siap.

"TNB juga sedang melaksanakan projek perentangan kabel bawah tanah 33kV dari PMU Tangga Batu 132/33kV ke cadangan penubuhan PPU Sungai Udang 33/11kV Sungai Udang, Melaka yang sudah mencapai 20 peratus siap," ujar Che Khalib.

Selain itu jelasnya, TNB sedang melakukan kerja-kerja penukaran geganti di PMU Bandar Melaka (90 peratus siap) serta memperteguhkan sistem 11kV di SSU IKS Duyong, Melaka yang dalam perlaksanaan 90 peratus siap.

"Manakala projek merentang kabel VT dari PPU Krubong ke SSU Yong Chaur Shing, Kawasan Industri Krubong telah siap pada Disember 2008," kata Che Khalib.

Hadir sama Pegawai Daerah Melaka Tengah, Roslan Ibrahim; Ketua Kawasan TNB Negeri Sembilan dan Melaka, Rasdi Abdullah; Pengurus Besar (Bahagian Pembahagian) TNB Melaka, Abdul Basir Abd. Ghani; Pengurus Besar (Pengurusan Tanah dan Izin lalu) Bahagian Penghantaran TNB, Samat Ayob serta para pegawai kanan TNB Melaka dan pengerusi-pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) daerah Melaka Tengah.

Beliau menjelaskan, program yang bertemakan 'Rakyat Didekati, Khidmat Diperbaiki' ini bertujuan mewujudkan hubungan dua hala yang erat antara TNB dengan pemimpin-pemimpin komuniti dan para pelanggannya.

Che Khalib memberitahu, CLOP merupakan salah satu inisiatif sosial dan tanggungjawab korporat TNB yang telah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2005 dan mulai tahun ini, sedikit perubahan telah dilakukan di mana tumpuan diberikan kepada kawasan di bawah seliaan pegawai-pegawai daerah di beberapa negeri.

"Sebelum ini CLOP hanya tertumpu kepada kawasan-kawasan terpilih yang diterajui oleh Ahli-alhi Parlimen dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN), menerusi CLOP ini, TNB berusaha mengambil tindakan sewajarnya supaya semua isu yang dihadapi para pengguna dapat diselesaikan dengan segera," katanya.

Sebelum ini Che Khalib pernah menyifatkan pembangunan di Melaka amat luar biasa berikutan permintaan bekalan elektrik yang mendadak berbanding dengan negeri lain.

"Disebabkan permintaan yang tinggi ini, TNB akan menambahkan lagi keupayaan sistem bekalan bukan sahaja untuk menampung industri bahkan permintaan sektor perkhidmatan yang semakin bertambah di Melaka," ujarnya.
