（八打靈再也31日訊）馬華婦女組主席兼平融NKF腎臟血透中心創辦人拿汀巴杜卡周美芬說，儘管面對經濟衰退壓力，她允諾會努力籌款，讓洗腎中心繼續運作。

她說，該中心每年開銷高達20萬令吉，雖面對巨大壓力，但她和一班董事成員將盡力維持中心運作，讓貧困的腎臟病患者受惠。她笑言，只要像牛一樣勤奮，相信可克服經濟問題和挑戰。周美芬今日聯同母親鄭愛霓和大馬腎臟基金會董事，拜訪雙溪威平融NKF腎臟血透中心兼派紅包給病患時，發表談話。

計劃辦家庭日
出席者有大馬腎臟基金會總執行長胡榮俊、專案高級經理藍來春、執行員陳美芝，平融NKF腎臟血透中心董事陳佩瓊、秘書陳順群和雙溪威老人院理事黃永珠。 她說，病患每星期需洗腎3次，一般上私人洗腎中心每次收費200令吉，但作為非盈利機構，該中心每次洗腎收費僅象徵性收費150令吉。

“其中50令吉是由病患本身支付，政府補貼50令吉，另50令吉由大馬腎臟基金會支付。”

她也感謝雙溪威老人院提供地點，廉宜租金，還有寬敞和舒適的空間給病患者。她說，他們計劃舉辦家庭日活動，為該中心籌款。

Centre to continue dialysis treatment for the poor

PETALING JAYA: The Ping Rong-NKF Haemodialysis Centre will continue to provide treatment for the underprivileged even with the current economic downturn, said Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun.

“The centre will go on trying its best to source for funds to provide quality haemodialysis care for poor patients,” she said after presenting ang pows at the centre.

It costs the centre RM200,000 a year to provide treatment for the poor and underprivileged.
Chew and her mother, Cheng Ah Looi, were at the centre, handing out ang pows to 36 patients and staff. Also present was National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) CEO Wayne Woo.
The centre, which started operations in January 2004, has room for more patients, said Chew.

“There are currently 36 patients seeking treatment at the centre. We can accommodate another 24 patients.

“There is a special committee on NKF to ensure only deserving patients receive treatment from the centre,” she said.

Patients only need to pay RM50 per treatment at the centre. The balance of RM100 is paid by the Health Ministry and NKF.

Chew said the centre not only provide haemodialysis treatment but also trained nurses from private nursing colleges.

“Graduate nurses would train at NKF centres for six months to gain experience before being employed by the centres,” she said, adding that 70 nurses have been trained in 23 centres nationwide since the programme started in July last year.

Mayang Jaya folk get futsal court

AFTER a three-year wait, SS26 Taman Mayang Jaya folk finally have a futsal court.

“Many who come to the park here are older folk. We hope the futsal court can help bridge the gap between them and the younger generation,” said Futsal Sports Club committee chairman James Teo.

Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who officiated at the court’s launch, was glad she could fulfil the last promise she made to residents before the general election.

“Funds for the court were provided by the Housing and Local Government Ministry.

“The project was approved by the Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MBPJ). Since the local councillors had not been elected at that time, the tender could not be carried out. Hence the delay,” she said.

In addressing the issue of the Taman Megah Mas tunnel and flash floods in Petaling Jaya, Chew said: “When approving high-rise buildings, we take into account the drainage system, traffic congestion and other problems that may arise.

“If the tunnel is closed, some residents will be happy while others won’t. Thus, to solve one problem, make sure you do not create another problem.”

Meanwhile, Teo urged residents to become members of the Futsal Sports Club to enjoy the court.

“It costs RM60 a year to be a member. Non-members have to pay RM120 a year to use the court. The funds will be used to maintain the court,” he said.

SS26 resident’s association chairman Liew Wei Beng said the association would approach MBPJ to install lights for the court.

潘俭伟，别推卸责任！

(新闻稿)

（八打灵再也15日讯）周美芬服务队队长庄赐昭呼吁身为八打灵再也北区国会议员的潘俭伟负起担任人民代议士的责任，关心选区居民的生活福祉，而非在发生问题后把责任推给已不在位的周美芬为他承担责任。

他针对潘俭伟发表文告要求周美芬出示证据证明每季度完成深化河流的证据感觉啼笑皆非。他说，潘俭伟身为该区国会议员本应检讨疏忽，承担责任，从此关注有关课题，以免水灾再次发生，但现在他反而企图混淆是非要周美芬为他承担责任，让人极度失望。

他说，从潘俭伟的文告中提到“河流深化”的说法显示他对有关河流的情况至今不甚了了，正确的行动应该是定期清除从上流流下郁积于千百家村一带河道的泥沙以避免大雨时流水不及而导致河水倒灌。

除此，水利灌溉局在每州每县都有分局，而国会议员也每月受邀出席县署会议，加上他身为国会议员每季出席国会，因此他有许多机会与管道向水利灌溉局甚至是天然资源与环境部发映，但他却没有，反而要周美芬代劳，不如把他的每月津贴交给周美芬，他就做他的文告议员就好了。

庄赐昭说，周美芬在任内成功向中央政府申请一千两百万令吉完成从白沙罗至千百家村一带河道的提升工程，重建及加高千百家村桥面的事实与功绩无可置疑，同时她每月出席县署会议跟进卡由阿拉河道发展的事实也有记录，问题出在新的代议士上任后对有关课题疏忽，责任无可推卸。

他呼吁潘俭伟从今开始除了发文告应多访问选区，应跟进在周美芬时代已要求八打灵再也市政厅展开的卡由阿拉河一带排水系统和金美阳花园一带交通系统的全面检讨与提升。讲多没用，做才是最实际的！
