Chief Ministers intervention paves way for end to row over retaining wall; house owners thankful
KUCHING: The developer of a commercial project at Laman Bong Chin has demolished a retaining wall to enable two house owners affected by the project to have bigger road access.
Land and Survey Department director Datu Sajeli Kipli, when contacted explained that the developer had taken the initiative to demolish the retaining wall to give more space for the affected house owners to manoeuvre their vehicles comfortably to and from their houses.
We would like to thank all the concerned parties the land owners and the developer for their understanding in solving the issue amicably, Sajeli told The Borneo Post here yesterday.
Sajeli revealed that Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem had informed him to find a solution to the matter.
So, our superintendent of land and survey of Kuching Division Ramzi Abdillah went to the site on his own initiative to broker an amicable solution, he explained.
Sajeli stressed that the developer had been kind enough to consider the recommendation made by his department, which was eventually accepted by the state planning unit (SPU) for the retaining wall to be demolished.
The developer was just implementing the plan that had been approved by SPU way by in 1996. For them to demolish the retaining wall for the benefit of the affected house owners was indeed a commendable effort.
On our part, it was also a good learning experience. The issue was small, but it was rather complicated. And in this regards, we are thankful to The Borneo Post for its fair reporting on the matter until we reached this point when we all have been able to get the matter settled. It has been a very enriching experience for both for me as well as for my department, added Sajeli.
Batu Lintang Assemblyman See Chee How thanked the chief minister for taking the matter personally and for being instrumental in solving the problem.

Mary Burke's plagiarism scandal isn't a scandal; it's a sign of desperation. (PHOTO: shutterstock.com ) Published Sept. 30, 2014 at 3:06 p.m.
Here's a quiz. Which of these things is not like the others?
A. A few years ago, we added a concrete parking slab and a retaining wall next to our garage. We got a few quotes first, and every concrete guy who came to the house brought a book of photos and testimonials. We got to flip though the book, and when we saw a retaining wall style we liked, we said, "We like that one. Do that for us, please."
B. This year, I'm teaching 10th grade English. I haven't taught that class in the better part of a decade and not at all at the school where I teach now. But Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" is on the calendar now just as it was the last time I taught it. When the other teachers and I were planning this semester's final exam last week, I dug up the questions I wrote about that play for a final exam I gave years ago at my previous school. We're going to put some of those questions on the final this year.
C. In the 1990s, the economy of Japan was awful. They call it Japan's "lost decade." The country's response was a policy of austerity, pulling back on government spending in the hopes that the private sector would step into the breach and get the Japanese economy back on a solid footing. When the economy of Europe collapsed in the 2000s, places like Greece and Italy following Japan's lead also pursued austerity, attempting a specific and common policy solution to a common problem (FYI, austerity didn't work. Japan's economy is booming right now because of a strong stimulus, while Greece is simply hoping that maybe, just maybe, they'll finish the year with barely positive growth for the first time in years).
D. When we got married, my wife and I hired a band we really loved to play the reception. They put on a hell of a show, playing a lot of our favorite songs of theirs, in fact. And we were very glad that they played all the right notes and sang all the right words in the right order. That's why we hired them!
E. Did I mention I'm a teacher? My class syllabus clearly says, "If you can Google it, I can Google it." Yet every year I have multiple uncomfortable conversations with students who insist that the site I show them online must have copied from them, not the other way around.
So what was your answer? Did you pick E? You should have. Answer choice E is the only one that describes an actual instance of plagiarism, something that, as a teacher and an English teacher at that! I have very strong feelings about.
The other answer choices are not plagiarism, or even close to it.
By now, you have probably figured out what party I am coming to, even though I am very late to it (real life got in the way of my writing a column last week when this might have been more relevant). And that party is the Mary Burke plagiarism "scandal."
