PENGKALAN BUJANG- Sebuah keluarga daif yang tinggal di Kampung Pengkalan Bujang di ini memohon sumbangan dan perhatian pihak bertanggungjawab serta masyarakat yang prihatin untuk membaik pulih dapur rumah mereka yang daif dan hampir roboh akibat reput.
Pemilik rumah, Siti Aishah Hashim, 48, berkata, mereka sekeluarga tidak mampu untuk membaik pulih dapur berkenaan memandangkan suaminya, Abdul Latif Muhayadin, 53, hanya bekerja menangkul ketam dan mencari siput di sungai berhampiran rumah.
Menurutnya, pendapatan keluarga mereka hanya bergantung kepada hasil tangkapan ketam dan siput yang diusahakan Abdul Latif dan pendapatan anak ketiga mereka, Siti Hajar, 24, yang bekerja di salah sebuah kilang di Bakar Arang.
“Anak sulung dan anak kedua sudah berkahwin dan mempunyai keluarga sendiri. Mereka tidak mampu untuk membantu kami membaik pulih dapur ini dan perbelanjaan kami sekeluarga hanya bergantung kepada Siti Hajar dengan pendapatan bulanannya sekitar RM300 hingga RM400 sebulan.
“Rumah yang kami duduki ini adalah hasil daripada permohonan Program Pembangunan Rakyat Termiskin (PPRT) yang telah kami duduki dari tahun 2006 lagi yang mempunyai satu bilik sahaja dan ruang tamu. Namun kami menjadikan rumah asal kami sebagai dapur dan kini ia semakin usang,” katanya ketika ditemui Sinar Harian.
Siti Aishah berkata, mereka sekeluarga yang hidup dalam serba kekurangan itu juga tidak mempunyai bilik air dan tandas khas dan hanya bergantung kepada bilik air yang berdindingkan dengan atap zink dan pokok ubi sahaja di luar rumah mereka.
Menurutnya, dia berharap agar ada pihak yang sudi membantu mereka menghulurkan sumbangan untuk membaik pulih dapur mereka itu dalam usaha memberikan keselesaan kepada mereka.
Siti Hajar berkata, dia sendiri pernah terjatuh ke bawah rumah akibat daripada terpijak lantai dapur yang semakin reput.
“Jika hujan, kami sekeluarga tidak berani untuk ke dapur bimbang keadaan buruk berlaku memandangkan angin yang kuat ketika hujan kadang kala membuatkan bumbung dapur terbang.
“Gaji yang saya perolehi hanya cukup untuk menampung keperluan belanja harian untuk saya, empat adik, ayah dan ibu sahaja malah kadang kala tidak mencukupi memandangkan saya turut menanggung pembiayaan sekolah tiga adik yang lain,” katanya.
Difahamkan, permohonan Abdul Latif untuk mendapatkan bantuan bulanan daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) sudah dibuat namun sehingga kini masih tiada sebarang jawapan diterima pihak mereka.
Kepada masyarakat yang prihatin dan ingin menyumbangkan bantuan kewangan bagi membantu keluarga ini membaik pulih dapur mereka boleh menghulurkan sumbangan anda melalui nombor akaun Eon Bank atas nama Siti Hajar bernombor 065-20-15170-7 atau hubungi Siti Hajar di talian 017-4522364.

Mokhzani make it happen
Jaseri upbeat on sales of Porsche cars
By EUGENE MAHALINGAM - The Star 7/10/2009
KUALA LUMPUR: Jaseri Automotive Group Sdn Bhd, the official importer of Porsche cars in Malaysia, hopes to sell 30 to 40 units of its newly launched four-door, four-seat luxury sedan Porsche Panamera cars a year, says chairman Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir.
“Reception has been very good. We have existing (Porsche) owners and potential buyers all curious to see what a four-door Porsche sedan looks like,” he told StarBiz after launching the Porsche Panamera S, 4S and Turbo models on Saturday.
“So far, six units have been pre-sold and 16 units booked by potential customers who want to see the cars first. Hopefully, this will translate into sales also,” he added.
He said other countries in the region had started unveiling the Panamera since its introduction at the Shanghai Auto Show in April.
On whether it was a good time to launch, in view of the current economic downturn, Mokhzani said: “There is never a perfect time but people are getting more confident about the economy. The stock market is moving so hopefully, it will get better.”
According to Mokhzani, Jaseri expects to sell over 100 Porsche cars this year. It sold over 120 units last year, with the Porsche Cayenne and Cayman models being its best sellers.
“This year, we are expecting a slowdown in view of the economy. But hopefully the launch of the Panamera will help boost sales for us,” he said.
In an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and boost fuel economy, the Panamera models come with a fuel-saving stop/start measure, whereby the engine is automatically switched off when the car comes to a standstill, such as at traffic lights and in traffic jams.
All the driver needs to do is to keep his foot on the brake. The engine automatically restarts when the driver takes his foot off the pedal.
The basic price starts from RM998,000, RM1.1mil and RM1.4mil for the Panamera S, 4S and Turbo variants respectively. All cars are built at Porsche’s plant in Leipzig, Germany.
Mokhzani hinted that Jaseri may bring in the Panamera Hybrid and GT3 RS models after their launch by the German principal next year.
