Sesiapa yang mempunyai pertanyaan dari segi apa saja
dengan projek ini atau mahu maklumat yang lebih lanjut ten-
tang proses yang telah kami ikut dipersilakan untuk berhub-
Saya menikmati cabaran pada masa ini, yang saya berharap
dapat digunakan dalam kerjaan saya sekarang. Saya girang
hati untuk apa yang akan datang dalam pekerjaan ini.
Fatin Rachel Hutchinson, Sport and Recreation/Youth
Officer: My name is Fatin AKA Mak Amelia and I am married to
Fareez Bluedy. We have 2 children together Amelia and Aiman,
and I also have 2 boys who live on mainland. I grew up in Bun-
bury and about one year ago Fareez and I decided to call Co-
cos our new home. Previously I worked in the banking industry
where I worked various role with BankWest and PN Bank.
This is my first week in my new role as the Youth and Recrea-tion Officer which I am sharing with Pak Azie. I am enjoying it so far organising Cocos Islands Australia Day celebration and participating in the School Holiday program on West Island. I look forward to getting out into the community and getting to know everyone.
Fatin, Opisa Olahraga dan Rekreasi/Muda Mudi
Nama saya Fatin atau Mak Amelia dan saya menikah dengan
Fareez Bluedy. Kami mempunyai 2 orang anak Amelia dan
Aiman dan saya jugak mempunyai 2 anak lelaki yang tinggal di
nageri besar. Saya di besarkan di Bunbury dan setahun lepas
Fareez dan saya buat keputusan untuk tinggal di Cocos. Sebe-
lom ini saya bekerja di BankWest dan PN Bank.
Ini adalah minggu pertama saya bekerja sebagai Opisa
Olahraga dan Rekreasi/Muda Mudi yang saya kongsi dengan
Pak Azie. Setakat ini saya menikmati menguruskan perayaan
Hari Australia dan program Cuti Sekolah di Pulu Panjang. Saya
tidak sabar untuk berkenalan dengan masyarakat.
SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM: Speaking of Adim and our
fabulous Community Development Team, they organised a
busy and exciting school holiday program over January but
found that participation rates were very low. We are concerned
that the program (activities, times, days or venues) may not be
what best suits our community so will be actively seeking
AUSTRALIA DAY: Australia Day, one of the best community
celebration events, is around the corner. Please join us on
Monday 27 January for a day of fun at Direction Island. A spe-
cial ferry service has been secured - our sincere thanks to the
Commonwealth Government. The ferry departs Home Island at
8am and West Island at 8.30 to arrive at DI at 9am and leaves
DI for the return trip at 2.30pm.
AUSTRALIA DAY: Australia Day, salah satu acara sambutan
masyarakat terbaik sudah dekat. Mari ikut kami di Pulu Tikus
pada hari Senin 27 Januari untuk hari yang menyeronokan.
Feri khas telah dijamin - terima kasih dengan ikhlas kepada
Kerajaan Commonwealth. Feri berlepas dari Kampong jam 8
pagi dan dari Pulu Panjang jam 8.30 sampeh di Pulu Tikus pa-
da jam 9 pagi dan lepas Pulu Tikus untuk perjalanan balek jam
2.30 petang.
MAJU PULU KITA MASTERPLAN PROJECTS: The next ship
has a few goodies to progress our Maju Pulu Kita Masterplan
projects. The play equipment for Trannies Beach; Shade Sails
for the Home Island Playground; a new gas BBQ for the Spot;
public toilets for Sandy Point and the Yacht Club; and shade
structures over Pondok Abang and the Home Island Cyclone
Shelter. These will be installed in the coming weeks so please
keep an eye out and let us know what you think.
We have noticed that the pumptrack needs some ‘finishing’ to
make it more appealing. We are considering softfall around it;
some seating with shade and painting the sides of the track with
a mural. Any other ideas are welcome.
BERITA MAJU PULU KITA MASTERPLAN: Kapal yang akan
datang mempunyai beberapa barang untuk memajukan projek
Maju Pulu Kita Masterplan. Bekakas kemainan untuk
belakang Batu Karang; Perlindungan untuk Playground Home
Island; BBQ baru untuk The Spot; jamban untuk Sandy Point
dan Yacht Club; dan perlindungan di Pondok Abang dan Ru-
mah Seklon. Ini akan dipasang pada minggu yang akan da-
tang jadi sila perhatikan dan beritahu kami apa pendapat an-
da.
Kami tengok yang pumptrack perlukan beberapa ‘finishing’
untuk menjadikannya lebih menarik. Kami sedang memper-
timbangkan untuk mengelilinginya dengan softfall; beberapa
tempat duduk dengan perlindungan dan melukis lambong trek
dengan mural. Pandangan lain jugak di terima.
WORKS UPDATE: I am sure members of the community will
have noticed the effort that has gone into the public grounds/
gardens at Lot 14. With this extra care, they are once again
looking fantastic. We warmly encourage members of the com-
munity to come and enjoy this landscaped area. To aid in
community enjoyment of the space, we are considering in-
stalling a few picnic tables and chairs.
Please note that Tuesday every week is our day for working on the grounds (e.g. mowing, whipper snipping and mulching) so from about 7am to 3.00pm on Tuesdays it could be a bit noisy. Thank you for your support. The toilets at Trannies, the Yacht club, and Scout Park have now been fitted with solar lighting. The switches are located to
the left hand side of the door and are illuminated.
The cardboard drop off points at each transfer station are working well. Some boxes are still being deposited in the open burn area so we would encourage all members of the
community to assist us with this recycling effort.
The drop off points for the Cardboard are positioned at the entrance to both Home Island and West Islands Transfer Sta-
tion, these are clearly signed.
We have been busy re-sheeting and replacing the wall on sections of the Home Island Recycle centre to fix the deterio-

The shed is now weather proof for the arrival of the new Glass Crusher and Aluminium and Tin Baler which will be installed to-
wards the end of March.
BERITA KERJAAN: Saya yakin masyarakat dapat perhatikan usaha di Kawasan publik/kebon di Lot 14. Dengan penjagaan
tambahan ini, tempat ini sekali lagi kelihatan cantik. Kami sangat menggalakkan masyarakat untuk datang dan menikmati Kawa-
san ini. Untuk membantu masyarakat menikmati tempat ini, kami sedang mempertimbangkan untuk memasang beberapa meja
piknik dan kursi.
Sila ambil perhatian bahawa hari Selasa setiap minggu adalah hari untuk kami bekerja di tempat ini (contohnya memotong
rumput, mulching) jadi dari jam 7 pagi hingga 3.00 petang saban hari Selasa mungkin agak bising. Terima kasih atas sokongan
anda.
Jamban di Belakang Batu Karang, Yacht Club, dan Scout Park sudah dipasang lampu solar. Switnya terletak di sebelah kiri pin-
tu.
Pengantaran kadbod di transfer stesen bekerja dengan baik. Separoh bok masih dibuang di tempat sampah biasa jadi kami
menggalakkan masyarakat untuk membantu kami dengan usaha recycle kami.
Tempat untuk antar bok terletak di pintu depan Stesen Pulu Panjang dan kampong, yang ditandakan dengan jelas.
Kami sedang sibuk menggantikan dinding di bahagian tempat recycle di Kampong untuk memperbaiki kemerosotan angin yang
berlaku.
Sekarang tempat recycle dapat bertahan dari cuaca untuk kedatangan Penghancur Kaca dan Aluminium dan Tin Baler baru
yang akan dipasang ujung bulan March.

Joke of the Week
● Four men are in the hospital waiting room because their wives are having babies. A nurse ap-proaches the first guy and says, “Congratulations! You're the father of twins.” “That's odd,” answers the man. “I work for the Minnesota Twins!” A nurse then yells the second man, “Congratulations! You're the father of triplets!” “That's weird,” answers the sec-ond man. “I work for the 3M com-pany!” A nurse goes up to the third man saying, “Congratulations! You're the father of quadruplets." “That's strange,” he answers. “I work for the Four Seasons hotel!” The last man begins groaning and banging his head against the wall. “What's wrong?” the others ask. “I work for 7 Up!” ●What is the color of the wind? Blew. ● An Amish husband, wife and son travel to the city on vacation. They visit a shopping mall and while the mother is shopping, the father and son are standing in awe in front of an elevator (having no idea what it is). As they watch, an elderly lady walks into the strange silver doors and the doors close. The father and son watch as the numbers go up, and then back down. When the doors open, a beautiful young woman walks out. The father leans over and whispers to the son, "Son, go get your mother!"

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya) Did You Know???
Laws that cover the renting of homes in Western Australia are being fully reviewed for the first time in more than a decade and Consumer Protection (CP) wants to hear from all tenants and landlords in the IOT. Commissioner for Consumer Protection, David Hillyard, said a lot has changed since the last full review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987. He is encouraging the IOT community to get involved and have a say to make lasting improvements. For example: Should tenants be allowed to hang a family portrait on the wall, keep a pet, or plant a veggie patch? Should landlords tell tenants if they intend to sell within the next 12 months, or if asbestos or meth residue is present? What do you think? The Commissioner said an attitude shift may be needed when it comes to how we view investment properties and the maintenance of those homes for paying tenants. We hear of tenants who are afraid to report problems for fear of eviction, while on the flipside there are horror stories where properties are trashed. Should CP have powers to step in and prosecute tenants for an offence of wilful damage?
The review will consider whether landlords should be registered, if CP should act as a
mediator between owners and tenants, and if the Commissioner should rule on tenancy disputes to make the dispute resolution process quicker and easier for all parties - freeing up the Courts’ time to deal with other more serious matters. The discussion paper closes 1 May 2020 and covers key issues, such as:
• security of tenure (guaranteeing tenants can stay and make a house their home); • reasons for ending a tenancy / doing away with “no grounds” terminations; • disclosure of important information before a tenancy begins; • minimum standards for rental properties; • liability for damage – fair wear and tear versus negligence; • maximum bond amounts, payment of rent and other fees or charges; • the right to keep pets and make minor modifications; and • regulation of boarding, lodging and room-by-room rental arrangements.
As well as the online submission process there are various options available to share your thoughts, such as social media polls and information sessions during CP’s next visit to the IOT. For more information visit www.commerce.wa.gov.au/tenancyreview or, if you can’t access the internet, ring 1300 30 40 54 to ask for a copy.

Rumah Anda, Rumah Saya - memikirkan semula untuk menyewah di WA
Undang undang untuk menyewah rumah di Western Australia sedang di perlihatkan dengan sepenuhnya untuk yang pertama kali di dalam satu dekad dan Consumer Pro-tection (CP) ingin mendengar semua pandangan dari penyewa dan pemilik di IOT. Commissioner dari Consumer Protection David Hillyard berkata bahwa banyak yang telah berubah sejak review yang terakhir untuk undang undang Residential Tenancies Act 1987. Dia menggalakan masyarakat IOT untuk terlibat dan bersuara untuk membuat pembagusan yang berkekalan. Contohnya: Haruskah penyewa di izinkan untuk menggantong gambar keluarga mereka di dinding, piara binatang, atau menanam pokok sayoran? Haruskah pemilik tanah mem-beri tahu penyewa jika mereka ada niat untuk menjual dalam tempo 12 bulan akan da-tang, atau jika ada asbestos atau residu meth? Apa pendapat anda? Commissioner mengkatakan bahwa perubahan sikap mungkin diperlukan apabila kita melihat bagaimana invesmen harta benda dan mentenan rumah untuk membayar penye-wa. Kami telah mendengar ada penyewa yang takut untuk melaporkan masalah karena takut di keluarkan, sementara ada jugak cerita dimana rumah di hancurkan. Haruskah CP mempunyai kuasa untuk betindak dan menuntut penyewa kerana melakukan kesalahan yang sengaja merosakan?
Kajian akan mempertimbangkan sama ada pemilik tanah harus di regista, jika CP harus betindak sebagai orang tengah antara pemilik dan penyewa, dan jika Commissioner harus memutuskan perselisihan sewa untuk membuat proses penyelesaian perselisihan lebih cepat dan muda bagi semua pihak - membebaskan masa kourt untuk perkara-perkara lain yang lebih serius.
Perbincangan ditutup 1 May 2020 dan melengkap masalah-masalah utama, seperti:
• keselamatan penyewa (menjamin penyewa dapat tinggal dan membuat rumah sebagai rumah mereka); • alasan untuk menamatkan penyewaan/penghapusan dengan penghentian “tanpa alasan”; • nformasi penting sebelum penyewaan bermula; • standard sekurang kurangnya untuk tempat sewa; • tanggungjawab untuk kerusakan - bekas pakek lawan keceroboan; • jumlah bon maksimum, pembayaran sewa dan bayaran lainnya; • hak untuk piara binatang dan membuat petukaran kecil; dan • Ondang ondang tempat tinggal, penginapan dan penyewaan kamar ke kamar.
Selain proses pengiriman online ada juga berapa cara lain yang anda boleh gunakan untuk berkongsi pemikiran/pendapat anda, seperti pemilihan social media dan sesi informasi semasa lawatan CP seterusnya ke IOT. Untuk informasi lebih lanjut, kunjungi www.commerce.wa.gov.au/tenancyreview atau, jika anda tidak ada akses internet, anda boleh telepon 1300 30 40 54 untuk meminta salinan.

Slick Investment Scammers Targeting the IOT
Have you received a phone call out of the blue with an offer to buy shares in a company for a really good price? If you have you’re not alone. Investment scams are on the rise and are one of the most professional and slick scams around – in fact, they are so sophisticated that it can be very hard to tell them apart from genuine investment oppor-tunities. Scammers will pretend to be stock brokers or portfolio managers and promise quick and high returns. Some will en-courage you to invest in overseas companies and, in a recent twist, some even pretend to represent or promote Aus-tralian based companies. These crooks are incredibly persistent and may keep calling you back until you agree to transfer funds. Afterwards, when they think they have developed a business relationship, the scammers may try to take advantage of you again through a follow up scam. Recent reports to WA Scamnet indicate that a sophisticated gold trading and investment scam is currently targeting the IOT using email, social media, fake websites, fake ‘endorsements’ and cold calling. These scammers are slick and the investment returns will seem too good to be true. You’ll find this to be the case when you try to withdraw your money and ‘investment profits’. In fact, some on Christmas Island have already discovered this, losing many thousands of dollars in the process. To protect yourself against investment scams, always be suspicious of investment opportunities that promise a high return with little or no risk. Never give out your personal details to unsolicited callers or reply to emails offering financial advice or investment opportunities - just hang up or delete the email. If you think you have been scammed, contact your bank or financial institution immediately. Fraud attempts should be reported to the WA Police Financial Crimes Squad on 131 444 and the AFP on the island. For help and advice visit www.scamnet.wa.gov.au, call us on 1300 304 054 or send an email to [email protected]

Penipuan Invesmen Yang Pintar Mensasari IOT
Sudahkah anda menerima panggilan telipon tiba tiba dengan tawaran untuk membeli saham di perusahaan dengan harga yang sangat baik? Jika sudah anda tidak sendirian. Penipuan invesmen sedang meningkat dan merupakan salah satu penipuan paling profesional dan pintar - pada kenyataan nya, mereka sangat canggih sehingga sangat susah untuk membezakan mereka dari peluang invesmen yang asli. Penipu akan berpura-pura menjadi broker saham atau manager portfolio dan menjanjikan untung yang banyak. Separoh akan menggalakkan anda untuk inves di syarikat luar negara dan, baru baru ini, ada yang berpura-pura mewakili atau mempromosikan syarikat di Australia. Penjahat ini sangat teguh dan mungkin memanggil anda berkali kali sehingga anda bersetuju untuk memindahkan simpanan anda. Selepas itu, bila mereka pikir mereka sudah membangunkan hubungan perniagaan, penipu boleh cuba memanfaatkan anda dengan melaksanakan penipuan sekali lagi.
