Walaupun pekerjaan ini sangat besar mereka masih bole
memberikan pelayanan terbaik kepada pihak dalaman
dan luaran. Taniah atas kerja bagus team Finance.
WORKS UPDATE: The Works Team is now back to
standard hours and have started the week with a full
workload. On Thursday the crew commenced a dredging
program around the Home Island Freight and Ferry Ter-
minal. The Shire has been engaged by CKI Ports to un-
dertake this project. Over the next four weeks there will be
machinery movements around that area, so please exer-
cise to take care and exercise caution.
PERKERJAAN UPDATE: Pasukan kerja kini telah kem-
bali kepada jam pekerja yang biasa dan telah memulakan
minggu dengan kerja yang penuh. Pada hari Khamis
perkerja telah mulai program mengorek pasir di Home
Island Freight dan terminal Feri. Shire telah berhubungan
dengan CKI Ports untuk laksanakan projek ini. Dalam
empat minggu ini akan ada banyak pegerakan mesin jadi
berhati-hati la di kawasan ini.
FIRE PITS: The Gabions that will form the structures for
the fire pits on West Island are currently being pre-
pared. One fire pit will be constructed on the beach at
Scout Park and the second one will be constructed at
North Point. These will allow anyone wishing to have a
bonfire on the beach to do so in a safe and contained
manner that does not leave unsightly debris and hazards
for other users of the area. We hope the community en-
joys these new additions to improving the amenity on the
beaches.
TEMPAT PIT API: Gabions yang akan membentuk
struktur lubang api di Pulu Panjang sedang di persiapkan.
Satu lubang api akan di sediakan di pantai Ujung Puji,
yang kedua akan di bangunkan di Tanjung. Ini akan mem-
perolehkan sesiapa yang ingin membuat bonfire, untuk
melakukannya dengan cara yang selamat dan cara yang
layan dan tidak meningalkan bahan bahaya di kuasaan ini.
Kami harap masyarakat menikmati tambahan baru ini un-
tuk memperbaiki fasilitas di pantai.
These are a few items that I think may be of particular
interest but we are always willing to meet with members of
the community who are interested in knowing more about
Shire activities.
Ini adalah berberapa perkara yang saya ingat mungkin
jadi keminatan tetapi kami selalu sanggup untuk bertemu
dengan penduduk masyarakat yang berminat untuk
mengetahui lebih tentang aktiviti-aktiviti Shire.

Thought for the Day
A nice old lady on a bus offers the driver some peanuts. He’s happy to take some. He asks her after a while why she isn’t having any herself. “Oh, young man,” she says, “they’re too hard on my poor teeth, I could-n’t.” “Why did you buy them at all then?” wonders the driver. “You see, I just love the chocolate they’re covered in!” “What do you call a guy with a rubber toe? Roberto.’’ “Did you hear about the italian chef that died? He pasta way.’’ ‘’What do you call a Mexican who has lost his car? Carlos’’ “My boss told me to have a good day. So I went home.’’ ‘’Today at the bank, an old lady asked me to help check her bal-ance. So I pushed her over.’’ ‘’Why couldn't the bicycle stand up? Because it was two tired!’’ Where do you find a cow with no legs? Right where you left it’. Why did the fish get bad grades? Because it was below sea level.
