KEKALKAN BANGUNAN BERSEJARAH RADIO SABAH





KOTA KINABALU : Pembantu Menteri Pembangunan Sumber dan Kemajuan Teknologi Maklumat Negeri Datuk Jainab Ahmad mencadangkan agar Kementerian Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan (KPKK) mengekalkan bangunan Radio Sabah (RTM) yang lama sebagai bangunan bersejarah.

Ketika membuat gesaan itu, beliau berkata bangunan Radio Sabah merupakan mercu tanda negeri Sabah sebagai radio pertama yang beroperasi pada tahun 1952 dengan memperkenalkan pelbagai rancangan radio yang lebih tersusun dan secara tidak rasmi perkhidmatan ini dikenali sebagai Radio Sabah.

Katanya, perkhidmatan Radio Sabah terus berkembang apabila bangunan tetap Wisma Radio siap dibina  pada tahun 1962 yang terletak di Bukit Nenas, Jalan Tuaran, iaitu bangunan yang ada sekarang.

“Selepas Sabah merdeka melalui pembentukan Malaysia pada 1963, Radio Sabah bertukar nama menjadi Radio Malaysia Sabah. Siaran Radio bermula  di bangunan baru ini pada 23 Jun 1963.

“Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia kemudian berpisah dengan Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia pada 1964  di bawah naungan Kementerian Penerangan Persekutuan.

“Jadi, saya minta agar pihak kementerian Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim (Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan) mempertimbangkan gesaan ini,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini hari ini sebagai susulan lawatan beliau ke bangunan Radio Sabah bagi menyaksikan pertandingan Bintang P. Ramlee peringkat zon Sabah di Pantaran Mesra RTM Kota Kinabalu, Jalan Tuaran dekat sini Ahad lepas.

Acara itu turut dihadiri Pengarah Penyiaran kawasan Sabah Abdul Jelani Mahmud.

Jainab berkata bangunan itu merupakan satu-satunya bangunan sejarah yang amat dibanggakan rakyat Sabah yang menurutnya bakal menjadi tarikan pelancong yang datang dari dalam dan luar negara.

“Saya akan memanjangkan perkara ini kepada kerajaan negeri untuk dipertimbangakn bangunan tersebut jangan diroboh tetapi dikekalkan sebagai bangunan bersejarah.” katanya.

Menurut Jainab yang juga Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri Karambunai, satu daripada kepentingan bangunan bersejarah ialah bangunan bersejarah atau monumen dapat dijadikan sebagai bukti yang kukuh kepada sesuatu era atau peristiwa sejarah yang telah berlaku.

Katanya bangunan Radio Sabah perlu dijadikan sebagai bangunan bersejarah kerana ia amat penting untuk generasi kini dan juga generasi akan datang untuk melihat bangunan Radio Sabah pada 20 hingga 30 tahun akan datang.

“Pendapat sesetengah pihak yang mengatakan bahawa bangunan bersejarah perlu diruntuhkan adalah tidak berasas kerana bangunan bersejarah dan monumen lama dapat memberikan teladan dan iktibar kepada masyarakat terutama remaja kini yang mempunyai semangat patriotisme yang semakin menipis,” katannya.

Pejabat RTM kini berpindah ke Kompleks Bersepadu KPKK di Jalan Lintas, Kepayaan.

Selain RTM, bangunan itu yang mula dibina pada 2009 dan siap akhir tahun lepas itu turut menempatkan tiga agensi lain di bawah kementerian iaitu Jabatan Penerangan (beberapa bahagian), Jabatan Hal Ehwal Khas (Jasa) dan Pertubuhan Berita Nasional Malaysia (Bernama) Sabah. (Bernama)
