海上惊魂终结老渔民迎来“生日礼” 南槟6渔民喜获新船重返大海

年届半百的资深渔民哈希米在一次暴风雨中失去了心爱的渔船,因购置新船成本高昂,原本已打消重返海上的念头。然而,在 7 月 3 日 50 岁生日来临前,他意外收到一份“早到”的礼物——一艘崭新的渔船。 “我真的很开心,这是非常棒的一份礼物。” 在日前于大山脚举行的移交仪式上,哈希米难掩激动之情地说道。他是南槟 6名符合资格的渔民之一,最近在社会影响管理计划(SIMP)下获颁新船及引擎。其他受惠者包括哈姆丹巴卡(59 岁)、莫哈末菲特里谢罗斯(46 岁)、穆罕默德希达雅谢罗斯(36 岁)、施木水(65 岁)及赖宝良(64 岁)。哈希米原有的渔船长达 23 尺,配有 60 马力的引擎,自 2002 年起陪伴他南征北讨。他坦言:“虽然船不大,但我还是能出海,速度慢一点也无所谓。只是它没有 GPS,也没有声纳系统。” 约半年前,一场突如其来的风暴毁了他赖以为生的渔船。“当时船停泊着,但风浪太强,把整艘船打坏了,彻底报废,无法再使用。” 自那以后,哈希米只能靠搭伙跟其他渔民出海谋生。“我不能再单 Read Article

王丽丽拨款8000令吉支持大山脚区童军会所提升

武拉必州议员王丽丽宣布拨款8000令吉，支持大山脚区童军会所的提升工作，以期持续促进童军发展，吸引更多人加入童军行列。 “据了解，这里是全马首个童军会所，希望随着提升工程的开展，将能更好地推动童军活动，而我也会尽力配合，给予所需的协助。” 她是于周日出席大山脚区童军总监筹委会及理事会委任状颁发仪式时，捎来如是喜讯。她指出，根据青体部长杨巧双的数据显示，各类制服团体及体育组织的会员人数已从90年代的600万人锐减至如今的100万人。她说，其原因之一是时下年轻人更倾向于“指尖活动”，也就是手机或网络世界，而非参与实际的社团活动，这无疑是一个重大挑战。她鼓励大山脚区童军，透过创意十足和富吸引力的活动，加上与学校和社区的紧密合作，将童军转变为年轻一代的首选。 “通过童军所推动的各种活动，我们将能培养纪律、竞争力和服务社会的精神，全面锻炼人格与领导能力，助力他们茁壮成长。” /////槟主办2026年第15届童军大露营槟州童军总监拿督祖基菲则说，适逢大马童军大露营60周年，槟州将主办202Bukit Mertajam · Bukit Mertajam Read Article
