The relocation of SJK (C) Ming Chih would begin next month and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Tan said the first phase of the project would be a canteen and a four-storey building which would have 16 classrooms, a library, computer room and science laboratories.

He said the school would be able to accommodate 1,200 pupils.

He said the sole student of the school was in Year Six this year and they hoped to take a fresh batch of students by 2010.

“The registration for Year One to Year Three students for the school will be held next week at SJK (C) Pei Hwa and SJK (C) Kuo Kuang 2,” he told reporters after the presentation of plans for the school in Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club here yesterday.

Tan added that the 2ha land and the construction cost for the school would be borne by Gamuda Land and UEM Land, which jointly developed Horizon Hills.

Tebrau MCA deputy chairman Senator Khoo Soo Seang said he would apply for tax exemptions for the building so the money could be channelled to improving the school later.

Gelang Patah MP Tan Ah Eng, who was also present, said the new school would support the needs of pupils as the population in Nusajaya was growing rapidly.

Horizon Hills senior marketing manager Jim Woon said they hoped to continue working with the MCA and school authorities to organise charity drives to raise funds for construction of following phases.

Khalidah said the task force would be led by the state Economy Planning Unit and members would include senior officers from the Inter national Trade and Industry Ministry, Malaysian Industrial Development Authority, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation and Johor State Investment Centre.

She said the task force would update business owners on current developments, government policies, schemes and strategies. She said the task force would also brief Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman weekly on the economic situation in state.

At the event, state International Trade and Industry, Energy, Water, Communications and Environment Committee chairman Tan Kok Hong also talked about his visit to China.

Tan was part of MCA’s high-level delegation that met with top Chinese leaders and officials last month.

He said China was responding positively to the many investment opportunities in Johor.

Among them were the RM1bil project at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas by a petroleum and chemical company, the setting-up of a branch campus by a top Chinese university and a flying school and high-tech park at Senai Airport.

也許你不知道，在柔佛州西南部振林山的馬新第二大橋向笨珍方向遠眺，若在海水低潮期，可看到一個有三個足球場大小面積的草原浮出水面，這是海草場。

在漲潮時，海水升高3公尺高，細長的海草隨水飄逸，成了海草森林了。這時，只有深入海底才可見到海草林。

這個海草場，據初步鑑定，是馬來半島第一大面積的海草場。

海草場是“生態系統環境建設者”

如果說大地是我們的母親，海草場對海洋生物來說，是“生態系統環境建設者”。因它為各類數以百計的物種組合提供居住和躲藏的地方，比如年幼和成熟的魚、附著並自由營生的海藻與微細植物、軟體動物、剛毛蟲以及線蟲等。

乘快艇45分鐘可抵達

為了進一步了解海草林，掌管柔佛州環境的陳國煌州行政議員率相關部門和媒体記者，乘船來到這個近孟拉彭島不遠的海草林。孟拉彭島距馬新大橋不遠，如果從丹絨柏勒巴斯港口乘快艇，約需45分鐘的時間。

我們一行十多人分乘快艇來到孟拉彭島，過後換上小型摩哆船，約10分鐘的時間，便來到海草場。

時值雨后黃昏，夕陽西照，照在約有半尺高的海面上，海波如魚鱗，也增添浪漫的氣氛。但這是個沒人煙之處，除了幾個幹活的漁民。

我們涉水來到海洋中的海草場，大家的心情自是十分愉快。柔佛自然生態協會主席孟達卡則忙著介紹海草場內各種微生物。

上百物種攝取海草為食

全世界有上百個物種皆以攝取海草為食，包括儒艮、海牛、魚、鵝、天鵝、海膽以及螃蟹。由此可知海草的重要。

約半小時的逗留，我們只找到幾條可食用的海參、墨魚和幾只螃蟹。不見海馬兄，是我們的遺憾。

根據資料顯示，海草的長葉能使水流減速而增進沉澱作用，它的根與地下莖可安定海床。透過它們在水體中三度空間的結構為各物種提供躲藏處。海草場供給沿岸一帶如“生態系統貨物”與“生態系統服務”，同時，產生氧氣以及保護海岸來抵抗侵蝕作用。

海草場是高生產力區

海草常在沿海潮下帶形成廣大的海草場，海草場是高生產力區。這裡的腐殖質特別多，是幼蝦、稚魚良好的生長場所，同時也有利於海鳥的棲息。它能為魚、蝦、蟹等海洋生物提供良好的棲息地和隱蔽保護場所，海草床中生活著豐富的浮游生物，個別種類海草還是瀕危保護動物儒艮的食物。

海草根系發達，有利於抵禦風浪對近岸底質的侵蝕，對海洋底棲生物具有保護作用。同時，通過光合作用，它能吸收二氧化碳，釋放氧氣溶於水體，對溶解氧起到補充作用，改善漁業環境。

海草數量因人為因素而下降

據統計，全球的海草數量卻正在下降，這20年來消逝了3萬平方公里。
這些人為的干擾，最明顯的是優氧化、棲息地遭受機械毀壞以及過量捕魚活動。過度輸入的營養物（氮與磷）對海草而言是直接的毒性。

漁民在海草場置漁網

我們看到有漁民在海草場置漁網，漁人坐在船頭，用木棍打水，原來他們是在趕魚入網。我們的小船在行駛時也得留意這些漁網。如果把這些個地方列入海洋公園保護區，那時漁人得止步了。

我們也看到一些海藻，這些海藻對海草的生長不利，它有如陸地上的雜草。

柔州海草保育工作在起步階段

陳國煌表示，州政府將會和私人界合作，以委任專家進行一項有關埔來河生態的研究工作，才能快定下一步應怎麼走。該海草場也靠近埔來河。

他說，待研究完成後，政府將探討將海草場列為海洋公園區的可能性。同時，丹絨柏勒巴斯港口的副首席執行員依斯邁已表示該港口將贊助有關研究的費用。

一般認為要保護與回復海草場，應減低營養層級與污染活動。同時，通過立法列為海洋保護區，以推廣保育，或移植海草來恢復美麗的海草場。

陈国煌获马华柔州三机构委托上京，竞选副总会长职；他手握经济王牌，势力不逊部长级竞争对手。

陈国煌担任过四届柔州彼咯区州议员、两届柔佛州行政议员（掌管国际贸易、工业、能源、水 务、通讯与环境委员会）；他深知公平的竞争环境下要赢得中央高职不是靠张嘴巴说说而己，应对的反应与行政经验等都可能左右候选人的形象与票源。陈国煌充分 了解自己的优势，就是手握经济王牌。
不同阶段保护不同的人

他一句“经济为我国华人的命脉”，即道破国内华人生存的基本规则。尤其对柔州马来西亚依斯干达特区了如指掌的他，更是信心满满的说：“如果当选，将配合中央领袖广招全国华裔参与特区发展，分享商机。”

陈国煌未加入马华前，当过警察与律师，在不同阶段保护不同的人。不过，他却不迷思“保护”，尤其是在经济领域设下的“保护文化”，他坦言“不能接受”。 ]]>
