BERJA YA
S iapa sangka cuba pertamo kal i boleh menang. Dirinya pun tidak menduga
demikian. Itulah ceritaAdanan Haji Hassan atau lebih dikenali dengan nama
timangan NAN.
IINan saja-saja mosuk nak try . .•. tap; AlhamudulillElh menang walaupun dapot
tempat ketiga, II katanya •
Nan telah menyertai pertandingan gambar foto warne mengenai kesihaton alam
sekitar anjuran bersama PersatuanWartowan Bahagian Pertamo Sarowak dan
Kelab Lion Kuching don muncul sebagai pemenang ketigo.
Sebagai hadiah Nan menerimo cek tunai $100 serto sijil dari Timbalan Ketua
Menteri Sarawak Datuk Amar Sim Kheng Hong d upacaro perosmian pomeran
gambar foto-foto terse but peda Mac 21 •.
Gombar fotonya yang menang bertojuk IIUgly side of Sarowak River ll }lOng
memaparkan kekotoran di tebing sungoi itu.
Seminggu sebelum tarikh tutup Non mencari ilham - ke ulu ke hilir membowa
kameranya. Nampak saja kekotoran Non akan petik kamero. $60 lesap untuk
beli filem don mencetaknya.
IINan tidak kesal keluarkan wang asalkan Nan puashati dapot perluaskan
pengo loman dan kemahiran ll , tambahnya dengan senyum lebar.
Semoga kejoyoonnyo, kal i ini okan mendorong Nan bergict lebih gigih lagi.
Nan sekarang lebih confident apatah lagi bolch bergerak bebes kerono sudah
mileki sebuah motosikal Suzuki FR 80 untuk bertugos. Untuk membowa Mak
We pun senang .
Topi Nan tidak minot itu semua. Dia lebih minot untuk bermesra dengon kamera
dan lensa-Iensanya serto membaca majalah-majalah fotografi untuk menombahkan
pengalaman dan pengetohuannya. Kalau Nan ada orang di Kuala Lumpur atau
di kampungnya di Bota Kanan, tak perlu bimbang. Non boik arongny.:.

FAST FISH, 'SLOW FISH, SUBDUED FISH, ACTIVE FISH INAN AQUARIUM
IIWe're on display again, II a sub whispered as a batch of visitors sauntered
into the BERNAWA office. An admin chap, roped in as tour-guide, was
sheepishly bringing up the rear.
The visitors eyed the staff with the vacant looks they would give to furnitures.
But no matter, one staffer felt compelled to rise to his full height and return
the savour.
Another staffer, called upon to explain the complicated workings of the
rrochines under his care, sprung with the alacrity of a windmill come to life
at a gust of wind •
The fact thc:it the visitors kepi' stealing glances away from the machines h;
the staffers sittirig on t~eir.outts did not daunt the old windmill.

A subdued one, his nose stuck in his typewriter keys, sighed: III feel like

HOBI TERKENAL BERNAtv\A
Memancing ikon merupakan hobi yang paling digemari dan
beberapa member di BERNAtv\A .
te*~!'\Ctlcifkalangan
..
Hobi ini berputik apobila Bong Ekram berhijrah ke Kuala L~mpursebagai wakil
ANTARA di sini. Sebelum ini pun telah ada segelintir rakan~akan yang
berminat ke atah itu, tetapi tidaklah sehebat sekarang.
,
.
..;
i.
..:.
Dahulu peminat-peminat memancing di sungai-sungai,lorri~g,~~~cimpangan
tetopi sekarang telah menjelajahi datar lauton pu~a~~h ju~'ahp,fhlnattelah
bertambah dad beberapo orang kepoda hampir satu dozen,•.'
.
Memancing dilaut tidak menjadi kesulitan dengan adanya perhubungcn dengan
nelcyan tempatan di Sungal Buloh/Kuala Selangor untuk mendapatkon bor dengan
mudah. Yang menjadi masalah ialah 'untuk menentukan keadaan yang sesuai.
Yang dikehendaki ialah air yang tenang dan tidak bergelora. Ini tidak saja
menentukan ikan ban,yak tetapi akan menjamin tiada yang akan muntoh di
lout. Keadaan lout seperti ini terdapot pada 7 hingga 12 haribulan dan 18
hingga 24 haribulan mengikut kiraan bulan Islam.
Kalau doh jadi hantu memancing, bekalan dibawa lupo nak maken. Tapi
bukan semua yang pargi dapot tangkap jumlah ikon yang salT',o. Yang bernasib
baik dapot tak putus-putus, yang lain dapatlah tiga empat ekor sepanjong
malam. (lni entah nasib atau skill.)
Sekiranya ada yang hendak menjadi ahli tak berdafter, hubungiloh Bong Ekram
otau Baba Kuah. Mereka boleh terangkan ~pa ikan yang hendak dipancing,
berapa basar dan apakah syoknyo. -- F. Rod.

TALKING POINT - By Govind
I spy with my Iittle eye, and what do I see. A new car here, a new car there,
new cars everywhere. Many of our staff are buying cars or trading in their
existing cars for new ones. It is no surprise because the staff enjoy the benefit
of cor loans, as provided for under the ceR,
Price of fuel oil? Who cares about the price of fuel oil' It is definitely not
going to come down, You cannot, and positively will not, wait for it to come
down. Or even think of it ever coming down.
So, here goes.

A SOUVENIR FROM LAWAS
Lawas, a riverine town at the eastern tip of Sarawak was 2! hours away
by speedboat from Limbang, the administrative centre of the fifth division.
A large crowd grinned gleefully as the boot pulled over at the jetty.
They were waiting for the boat to make a return trip to Limbang.
IIln Lawas (0 town of seven rows of shophouses) you cannot afford not to
know each other, II according Information Officer who happened to share
the same name with me.
He was exchanging greetings wah almost everybody as he WQlked me to a
hotel (on top of a coffee shop) where I checked in.
After freshening myself, f shuffled my feet down the streets, looking for 0
place to eat. When I finally found one it enliven me to notice three familiar
faces.
Like me, Information Officer Paulus Nimbang and RTM crew members was
Abdillah and Ganifah Sidup from Limbang Station were hogging a State
Minister who was on a two-doy visit there.
Fate hod its way. A Stote Minister visit in Sorawak is always ended up
with a soccer friendly among those who were involved (in one way or another)
with the visit.
I was playing alongside several of the top notch State Officers, some of
whom were kaki bongku. The Minister wa~ with the opponent team.
Hardly the game a few minutes old, I hod to be helped from the outside.
I had a gash on my right foot during a scramble for a boll. Blood was ozzing
out.
Johny Agong, a senior clerk in Lawas, the name is still fresh in my mind.
It was his boots which landed heavily on my right foot.
12
I was rushed to the nearby hospital in a JKR land rover where I was given
out-patient treatment. After this I had to watch the game from the bench.
The injury, was reason enough for me not to forget the sleepy Lawas for
years to come.
What a way to make a comeback after a year layoff from the game.

My right foot was swollen and I had to walk /
to lessen the pain.
I could not put on the shoes - thanks to the slippers - compliments from the

I headed for BSB the next day by speedboat. So tired I was that I dozed
off soon after checking in.
~
I woke up only to realise that the Perak Malaysia Cup team who were
staying at the same hostel with me, had left for the stadium. I missed
a free ride .
~
I hurriedly took a taxi. But the traffic snarl forced me to abandon the
taxi and made my way f~r the other quarter of a mile on foot (in pain).
I arrived at the stadjum on the dot. But I missed five minutes before I
