陳樹平：解決迫切基設需求 沙須今年獲15億特別撥款
亞庇3日訊｜自由民主黨（LDP）主席拿督陳樹平歡迎首相拿督斯裡安華宣佈向沙巴發放15億令吉特別撥款，並形容這是朝著落實沙巴憲法權益及解決長期發展需求邁出的積極而重要一步。
陳樹平表示，這項宣佈反映聯邦政府持續致力於尊重《1963年馬來西亞協議》（MA63）的精神，並以務實及建設性的方式推進與沙巴憲法權益相關事項的解決工作。
他也歡迎沙巴首席部長拿督斯裡哈芝芝諾對有關宣佈表示支持，並呼籲有關款項盡快發放，以造福沙巴人民。
陳樹平指出，關於沙巴40%憲法特別撥款權益的討論，如今應減少政治爭論，而應更加專注於如何落實和執行。
「討論的重點不應再是沙巴是否有權獲得憲法所賦予的權益，而應是如何以最符合沙巴及國家整體利益的方式，兌現這項憲法承諾。」
「15億令吉特別撥款是一個積極和建設性的進展。它不僅體現了對沙巴權益的認可，也讓許多直接影響人民日常生活的問題得以開始獲得解決。」他說。
不過，陳樹平強調，15億令吉特別撥款的重要性不僅在於金額本身，更在於撥款發放的時機。
他說，這筆撥款必須在今年內發放並落實，以便各項迫切的基礎設施工程能夠盡快展開，而不應繼續拖延。
「單純承認權益是不夠的。被承認的權益必須落實到實際行動上，人民必須能夠透過具體改善，看見並感受到這些權益所帶來的成果。」
「因此，這15億令吉必須在今年內發放。沙巴的基礎設施問題已經到了不能再拖延的階段，任何進一步的延誤都只會增加未來成本，並繼續加重人民的不便。」他說。
陳樹平指出，沙巴目前正面對多重壓力，包括基礎設施老化、人口增長、城市擴張以及長期累積的維修欠賬。
其中最迫切的問題之一，就是沙巴老舊的供水系統。
近年來，多個地區頻頻發生水管爆裂及漏水事故，不僅影響家庭用水，也干擾商業活動、學校運作及公共設施服務，凸顯全面更換和升級供水系統的迫切性。
「許多沙巴人民已經習慣聽到爆水管、緊急維修及制水通知。然而，沙巴不能永遠依賴修修補補的方式來解決問題。我們必須開始有系統地更換已經達到使用壽命的老舊水管。」
「每拖延一年進行重大升級，維修成本就會繼續增加，而根本問題始終無法獲得解決。繼續依賴臨時修補和緊急維修，並非長遠之計。沙巴人民需要的是一個穩定、可靠及具前瞻性的供水系統，而不是一再重複發生的斷水與維修循環。」
陳樹平表示，除了供水系統升級之外，道路維修、排水系統改善、鄉區基礎設施建設及電力供應提升等項目，同樣需要大量資金支持。
「因此，這15億令吉特別撥款應優先用於解決影響人民生活和經濟發展的關鍵基礎設施問題，讓人民能夠切實感受到發展成果。」

‘Disburse Sabah’s RM1.5 bln interim grant this year’
KOTA KINABALU: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) president Datuk Chin Su Phin has urged the Federal Government to ensure that Sabah’s RM1.5 billion interim special grant is disbursed within this year, saying the funds are urgently needed to address the state’s long-standing infrastructure challenges.
In welcoming Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement of the interim payment, Chin described it as a positive step towards recognising Sabah’s constitutional rights while providing much-needed resources to improve basic infrastructure and public services.
He said the announcement reflects the Federal Government’s continued commitment to honouring the spirit of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and advancing efforts to resolve Sabah’s constitutional entitlement issues in a practical manner.
Chin also welcomed Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor’s support for the announcement and his call for the allocation to be released as soon as possible for the benefit of Sabahans.
“The debate should no longer be whether Sabah is entitled to what the Constitution provides. The more important question is how best to honour that obligation in a manner that benefits both Sabah and the nation as a whole,” he said in a statement on Monday.
“The RM1.5 billion interim payment represents a constructive step forward. It recognises Sabah’s rights while allowing immediate progress to be made on issues that directly affect the daily lives of the people.”
However, Chin stressed that the significance of the allocation lies not only in its announcement but also in its timely implementation.
“Recognition alone is not enough. Rights recognised must also be implemented. The people must be able to see and experience the benefits through tangible improvements on the ground,” he said.
“The RM1.5 billion must therefore be disbursed within this year. Sabah’s infrastructure challenges have already reached a stage where further delays will only increase future costs and prolong public inconvenience.”
According to Chin, Sabah continues to face mounting pressures arising from ageing infrastructure, growing population demands, urban expansion and decades of accumulated maintenance backlogs.
Among the most pressing concerns is the condition of the state’s ageing water infrastructure, with recurring incidents of burst pipes, leakages and water disruptions affecting households, businesses, schools and public facilities across
Sabah.
“Many Sabahans have become accustomed to hearing about burst pipes, emergency repairs and water interruptions. While repair works are necessary, the time has come to move beyond repeated patching exercises and begin systematically replacing ageing pipelines that have reached the end of their service life,” he said.
He added that road maintenance remains a major concern in both urban and rural areas, while drainage systems and flood mitigation infrastructure in several districts require urgent upgrading to cope with increasing development and changing weather patterns.
Chin warned that delaying infrastructure investments would only lead to higher costs in the future as facilities continue to deteriorate.
“What can be repaired today at one cost may require substantially greater expenditure several years later if deterioration continues unchecked. Delaying infrastructure investment rarely makes problems cheaper. More often, it makes them more expensive and more difficult to solve,” he stressed.
He noted that rising construction, labour and project implementation costs further strengthen the case for immediate action.
“The longer we wait, the more expensive these projects become. This is why timely implementation is important. The RM1.5 billion is not simply about funding infrastructure. It is about preventing today’s challenges from becoming tomorrow’s crises,” he pointed out.
Chin suggested that priority be given to replacing ageing water pipelines, upgrading water treatment and distribution systems, rehabilitating roads, improving drainage networks, implementing flood mitigation measures and other critical public infrastructure projects.
He said infrastructure investment should be viewed as a long-term investment in Sabah’s economic competitiveness, quality of life and future growth.
“Reliable water supply, better roads and stronger public infrastructure will support businesses, attract investment, improve public services and strengthen confidence in Sabah’s future development,” he said.
“The rakyat do not judge success by announcements alone. They judge success by whether roads are repaired, whether water supply becomes more reliable, whether flood risks are reduced and whether public services improve,” he said.
Chin reiterated that the allocation must be translated into real projects that deliver measurable benefits to the people.
“The Constitution must be honoured. Sabah must receive what is due. Most importantly, the people must be able to see the results.
“The sooner implementation begins, the sooner Sabah can address many of the longstanding infrastructure challenges that continue to affect our communities. Delaying the allocation would only increase future costs and postpone solutions that are already urgently needed today,” he said.
