MIRI: Guna gadis muda, tetapi pura-pura bisu. Helah inilah yang digunakan peniaga untuk melariskan produk buatan China di sekitar bandar raya Miri, utara Sarawak, untuk menarik simpati orang ramai.
Gadis muda itu diarah mencari pelanggan di setiap premis makanan di sekitar bandar raya dengan membawa tanda harga barang antara RM10 dan RM12 setiap unit.
Barang dijual antaranya anak patung, pen, laser dan pelbagai hasil kraf tangan buatan luar negara yang sebenarnya boleh didapati dengan harga lebih murah di premis perniagaan sedia ada di bandar raya Miri.
Bayangkan jika anda perlu membelanjakan antara RM300 dan RM400 untuk petrol sahaja pada setiap kali mahu pergi ke bandar terdekat dengan bot hanya untuk membuat satu panggilan telefon yang penting.
Itulah keadaan yang dihadapi penghuni rumah panjang dan guru sekolah yang terletak jauh di pedalaman daerah Song.
Menteri Muda Pembangunan Luar Bandar dan Kemudahan Awam Datuk Ambrose Blikau membangkitkan masalah itu untuk perhatian Timbalan Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Joseph Salang di pekan Song dekat Kapit hari ini.
Two children were killed and three others hospitalised after they were attacked by a swarm of hornets at Sungai Moyan in Batu Kawa near here.
The dead were identified as Chen Sze Ying, six, and her three-year-old brother, Chun Jie.
They died several hours after they were rushed to the Sarawak General Hospital here at about 5:40pm.
Their mother Tan Wan Chew,29, elder sister Sze Ting, eight, and their uncle Tan Lan Chia, 11, survived the killer bees’ attack.
Their conditions are said to be stable.
Wan Chew, her three children and her younger brother were going for a late afternoon stroll on a hill near to their home when they were suddenly stung by a swarm of hornets.
She quickly grabbed crying Sze Ying and ran for safety with her other children and brother, according to a relative.
After reaching home, they sought help from neighbours who rushed them to the hospital.
It was not known if the hornets, whose nest was found behind the rocks on the hill, had been disturbed.
The incident shocked the peaceful neighbourhood.
Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen, who visited Chen’s family and the incident scene on Sunday, has informed the Fire and Rescue Department of the locality of the hornets’ nest.-nst
