(Reproduced from Edited Hansard dated 26th November, 1996)

Encik Wong Ho Leng asked the Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Agriculture and Community Development: The Iban communities have complained that for far too long they have not the opportunity to read newspapers printed and/or published in the Than language. How many newspapers in Sarawak carry reportage or news items in Bahasa Iban. If the answer is in the negative, whether the government would consider to assist publication of newspapers in the Than language.

Timbalan Ketua Menteri dan Menteri Pertanian dan Pembangunan Masyarakat (Tan Sri Datuk Amar Alfred Jabu anak Numpang): Tuan Speaker, berkenaan dengan soalan yang dibangkitkan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat bagi Bukit Assek berhubung dengan penerbitan akhbar berbahasa lban, saya ingin menjelaskan bahawa kerajaan memang sentiasa prihatin terhadap penyebaran maklumat kepada semua rakyat di seluruh Negeri Sarawak. Oleh kerana itu, kerajaan telah menerbitkan akhbar berbahasa Iban bertajuk Pemberita keluaran Jabatan Penerangan. Kerajaan telah dan akan terus mempertingkatkan mutu dan jumlah penerbitan akhbar berkenaan. Sejak 1992, sebanyak 20,000 naskah telah diterbit dan diedarkan setiap bulan. Di samping itu juga, Jabatan Pertanian ada menerbit sebuah buletin berbahasa Iban iaitu Berita Peladang. Sebanyak 8,500 naskah diterbit dan diedarkan setiap bulan dan akhbar-akhbar seperti ini adalah diterima dengan begitu baik bagi membimbing petani-petani yang mencebur diri dalam rancangan pertanian.
