YES, I went to Hatyai recently on 11-13 Mar (huh.. 2 months ago). We joined the tour with only RM170 per pax for 3 days 1 night journey. The whole journey takes about 7 hours from KL and I didn't slept the whole night (just can't sleep!!).

First stop: Wat Tham Rou Chang
This temple is located nearby the Padang Besar immigration checkpoint and takes about 20 minutes

It is believed that one traveler discovers this temple that is inside a 'cave'.

The 7 'head' dragon.

Kuan Yin statue and drawings inside the cave.

We then proceeded for lunch at nearby shop at roadside. My fellow blogger, Kelly was furious when we are going for 'chicken rice' and noodles. Maybe it is just too simple and what is difference with our country's version?

I can say it is average and costs us 40 Baht.

Second stop: 

Next stop: Wat Pah Koh Suwanaram temple

Luang Phor Thong (Archan Thong). A holy monk that can foresee people's future, cure black magic, business prediction and many unforeseen power. Even though he's passed away but they said his hair is still growing. His body was over there since 2000 and until now it is still in good condition with no foul smell. Amazing!!

This video show casts the holy monk.

If you read news recently, the hot news most of us are discussing is the corrosive liquid splashing attacks that happen in Klang Valley and Seremban.

Details of the attack is here: http://mmail.com.my/content/67775-my-head-was-fire/

And the main point is the culprit is still free on road as police having difficulties to nab the mad-man. However, police just released the photofit of the corrosive liquid splasher.


The photofit was produced based on information from a witness of a possible attempt by the splasher in Jalan Desa Pandan yesterday and other victims.

The suspect wore a full-faced black helmet and was clad in a blue jacket and wore gloves.

He is believed to be in his 30s and was on the motorcycle that had a false registration number.

Those acid splashers have been known to work alone and in pairs, have so far maintained the same method of operation by riding a motorcycle and surprising the victims from behind and splashing corrosive liquid into their faces and so far 22 cases have been reported.

Those with information on the splasher can call the police at the Rakan Cop hotline (03-2115 9999) or SMS POLISKL at 32728.

Public should help to keep lookout on the suspects with smallest details: type of helmet, motorcycle or even the type of clothing they are wearing. And especially women, are to look out for motorcyclists behaving suspiciously.

How the assaults were carried out


Motorcycle
Police have identified the way the serial acid splashers go on their sadistic spree.

Description Of Splashers
● Dark-skinned or tanned complexion, usually clad in dark clothing, full-face helmets and on motorcycle.

Time Of Attack
● Monday to Friday — the attacks take place during the day.

● Saturday and Sunday — the attackers prey on their victims in the late afternoon, evening and at night.

Areas Of Attack
● Places with heavy traffic and constant movement of people.

● This makes it easier for the splashers to target their victims.

Mode Of Transport
● Motorcycles — the attackers are said to have used a Honda EX-5 or a Yamaha of a similar size

Knowledge Of Roads
● The culprits have good knowledge of the areas where they pounce on their victims. The locations have different roads leading in and out of the areas.

● The splashers have targetted mostly women and children.

● Twenty-two people have fallen victim to their attacks to date.

I went to the newly refurbished Puduraya twice to catch bus back to Seremban. What I can say overall is good but can improved futher.

Puduraya area almost free of ticket scalping (Malay Mail)

COMFORTABLE: Passengers are mostly satisfied with the improved look and conditions

KUALA LUMPUR: It has been more than two weeks since the newly-renovated 35-year-old Puduraya bus terminal in Jalan Tun Perak was reopened to the public. And so far, the age-old problem of touting activities appears to be a thing of the past.

This is believed to be due to tight security measures by the management company, UDA Holdings, which has stationed guards at the terminal's main doors as well as conducting patrols within the complex.

A check by The Malay Mail yesterday showed at least five guards at each floor, leaving touts with little chance of plying their trade.

LESS AWARENESS: Mohd Shahrul says public not fully informed of the station's re-opening

FEE LING GOOD: Suganthi is safe at the station

Passengers also showed their contact with touts were only outside the terminal.

S. Suganthi, 24, a bank officer in Cyberjaya, said “it was comfortable and safe waiting in the station”, adding she was no longer harassed by touts.

The same sentiment was echoed by Siva Sundar, 19, from Chennai, India, who expressed satisfaction with the services.

“No one is charging more than the actual price,” he told The Paper That Cares.

However, Mohd Firdaus Zainal Abidin, 23, a security guard at the station, said touts were still around.

“But not within the compound. It looks like the touts wait for passengers at shops outside the station. We have guards at the main doors so touts could not come in.”

Shop operators at the terminal were less enthusiastic as they claimed sales were affected due to the location of the shoplots.

“Our location is hidden from passengers. Due to that, our sales are slow,” said Lily Lau, 57, owner of a mobile phone shop.

“I have been operating here for the past 22 years and I hope the situation will improve soon.”

Mohd Shahrul Nizam Kamaruddin, 23, who manages his family snack food business, said there was a lack of public awareness over the reopened terminal.

“Business should pick up once more people start coming back to Puduraya,” he said.

Puduraya station was closed in April last year to facilitate a RM52.7 million facelift. Originally slated for completion last September, the station finally reopened on April 16.

Senawang And Sungai Gadut Komuter Stations Operate In May

Kuala Lumpur, April 23 (Bernama) - The new commuter stations in Senawang and Sungai Gadut, which are part of the Electric Double-Tracking Project (PLBE), will begin operations in mid-May.

Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) president Dr Aminuddin Adnan said the completion of these stations, located 10 kilometres apart, raised the total number of commuter stations to 53.

"This is the first stage of the PLBE completed and the overall project is expected to be ready by 2014," he told a news conference after the launch of the KTM Komuter Run 2011 by Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin at the KTMB Headquarters here.

The PLBE is a RM3.45 billion project involving 98.116 kilometres along the Seremban-Gemas route spanning Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor.

At the event, KTMB also introduced the 1RM (1 Rakyat Malaysia) ticket system for senior citizens, the disabled and uniformed school students.

Commenting on the 1RM ticket, Dr Aminuddin said the ticket priced at RM1 will be sold to the first 100 customers on the first day of each month at 51 commuter stations.

"Its purpose (introduction of 1RM ticket) is to meet the government's call through the 1Malaysia concept of People First, Performance Now. The one-way ticket will be sold from 6am to 6pm," he said.

The 1RM ticket system is among KTMB's rebranding process, aside from attracting new users to take advantage of facilities provided by the company.

In addition to that, Dr Aminuddin said KTMB will introduce an integrated ticket concept with the installation of Automated Fare Collection (AFC) systems such as that implemented by Rapid KL.

"With the new system, users can move from one transport system to another with ease," he said.

The AFC is currently in the process of designing and its installation is expected to take from 12 to 15 months before full implementation.

He also did not rule out increased ticket prices following the integrated ticket concept.

"We have spent almost RM2 billion on this project, so with improved services we must also revise the fares charged," he added.

Metzelder says: Lets wait for it, but I am more interested in integrated ticket concept that will connect RapidKL and KTM ticket system into seamless one system.

It's has been a long time, we need an efficient ticketing system that leave passenger hassle free in using public transport modes in Klang Valley.

Yes! Malaysia Airlines has again lauched their new airplane Airbus 330-300 on April 14, this is part of the airline plan to have youngest fleets in Asia by 2015.

Malaysia Airlines Enhances Customer Experience With Its New Airbus 330-300

April 14, 2011

Sepang (14 April 2011): Malaysia Airlines has launched its new A330-300 aircraft today, amidst a ceremonious event at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

The occasion was graced by Minister of Transport, Y.B. Dato’ Seri Kong Cho Ha. Also present were Malaysia Airlines’ Chairman, Tan Sri Dr Munir Majid and Malaysia Airlines Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Tengku Dato’ Sri Azmil Zahruddin, as well as representatives from Airbus and the Embassies of France, Spain, Great Britain and Germany, partners from the aviation industry, corporate customers, travel trade, winners of Malaysia Airlines Facebook page contest and members of the media. The reception marked another historical milestone for the airline.

Starting with a launch flight MH8888 from KLIA, guests were taken for a short journey to experience the new interiors and features of the aircraft. Upon arrival, the traditional water salute welcomed the latest aircraft to the Malaysia Airlines fleet, followed by a mixed drum ensemble. An eclectic dance performance symbolised the potpourri of cultures, as the passengers disembarked from the aircraft.

Malaysia Airlines’ Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Tengku Dato’ Sri Azmil Zahruddin said, “We are delighted to launch our first A330-300 five months after the delivery of the new B737-800 in November. The latest fleet is aimed at creating a strong and sustained platform for us to serve our discerning customers and for Malaysia Airlines to remain profitable. These aircrafts will serve the growing markets of South Asia, China, North Asia and Australia.”

The new Airbus A330-300 is the first of 15 aircrafts to be delivered to Malaysia Airlines over the next four years, as part of the airline's fleet renewal programme. It is the second fleet after the B737-800 to sport the dynamic livery with red and blue lines representing the Malaysia Airlines’ corporate colours.

Minister of Transport, YB Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said, “Malaysia Airlines has made another achievement in Malaysia’s aviation industry. Malaysia Airlines’ move to introduce this fleet is seen as an effort to promote more travel and business opportunities for both Malaysians and foreigners.”

After 10 days campainging period by contesting parties and candidates, Sarawakians will decide their 'Future' by casting vote on tomorrow.

Sarawak has 71 state assembly seats comprising 27 Malay/Melanau seats, 20 Iban seats, 15 Chinese seats, 6 Bidayuh seats and 3 Orang Ulu seats

A keen contest is expected in 29 seats during the Sarawak state elections, according to a prediction by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) political scientist Faizal Syam Hazis.

Faizal (left) believes that all 15 Chinese-majority seats, seven Iban-majority seats, three Malay-Melanau-majority seats, two Bidayuh-majority seats and two Orang Ulu-majority seats “might swing either way”.

Seats to watch


Chinese voter dissatisfaction is deep and could persist and spread to the northern part of Sarawak as indicated by the recent Sibu by-election and a recently concluded Merdeka Centre survey where only 21.5 percent of Chinese respondents indicated their support towards the BN.

It is thus expected that the opposition will retain the seven Chinese seats that they won in 2006 and gain four more, namely Repok, Dudong, Pelawan and Pujut.

All four of these seats except for Pujut were won by the BN with less than a 1000 vote-majority. By securing eleven out of fifteen Chinese seats, the opposition (especially DAP) would severely undermine the dominance of the ruling party and seriously question the future of SUPP.

Hot seats




Change for better
We definitely need to show who is the one who has rights to decide the government of the day, not the other way round. Say no to BN 'fixed deposit' state.

The Chief Minister Taib Mahmud has hold the position for 30 years with alleged wrong doing.

For years now, coffee shop black humour has glossed CMS, one of Sarawak’s most prominent companies and one linked to the chief minister’s family, as Chief Minister & Sons. Its interests range from cement and steel to construction and finance – and that isn’t the full measure of its network of linked companies.

It has always been taken as emblematic of the concentration of wealth and power and of the ties between politics and business.

Politics of development
In rural areas, the so-called “politics of development” is in fact the politics of fear of deprivation and the politics of disempowerment.

The great success of this “politics of development” has been to convince rural voters that they are totally dependent upon government, even for goods and services they used to provide for themselves.

Selective withdrawal of services and projects when an area votes the “wrong” way has served to drive home the point.

The prove:
Sensing the fragility of Belaga, the Prime Minister made a pre-election visit there in January 2011 when he dished out RM100 million worth of development projects (Sarawak Tribune, 18 January 2011).

On top of that, PM Najib announced that the government would write off the remaining RM41 million housing loan involving 1500 families at the Sungai Asap Resettlement Scheme (Free Malaysia Today, 17 January 2011).

This act of rampant vote-buying just shows how insecure the ruling party is in Belaga.

A voter has claimed that he received RM20 from BN campaigners who visited his house at Kampung Baru Sri Aman in the Lingga state constituency this afternoon (April 15).


Where is EC to take action on open vote buying?

BN desperate?

April 14
> 8.45pm: Still at Repok, Koh Tsu Koon tries to persuade voters to support the 75-year-old incumbent Repok candidate David Teng, whose 32-year hold on the seat has been made an issue by the opposition. Gerakan made first in-roads to Sarawak to save SUPP!

> 10.15pm: Sibu - The SUPP ceramah quickly turns into popular singer Michael Wong's concert, with the crowd of 3,000. Since when the singer become your BN member?

April 15 (today)

> 6pm: Sibu - OCPD Shafie Ismail is called in to settle the dispute between SUPP and DAP over their ceramah tonight. Local popular singer Nicholas Teo is invited by SUPP tonight, to perform at the meet the candidate function.

Latest update: Crowd in Kuching for Pakatan finale grows to 20,000 (8.30pm - 9.30pm)

This is enough. We need a better future for rakyat Sarawak and Malaysia. Party that is full of cronies and lies should be rejected after all.

Pek moh should be thrown out and vote Pakatan Rakyat and SNAP for a better future from tomorrow.

Jom ubah!!

Puduraya Terminal to begin operations tomorrow (The Star)

By Bavani M

Friday April 15, 2011

THE 35-year-old Puduraya bus terminal will finally open for operations tomorrow after undergoing massive renovations costing RM52.7mil. The opening was delayed several times due to additional work on the base of the building.

UDA Holdings Berhad managing director Datuk Jaafar Abu Hassan said the terminal is 98% ready with the exception of certain areas. He said both north-bound and intra-city buses will begin operations tomorrow.

Well lit: Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry deputy secretary-general Datuk Adnan Ikshan (left) and Jaafar taking the walkalator at the main entrance area.

“Bus companies and retail outlets are in the process of collecting their keys and moving from the temporary terminal at Bukit Jalil,’’ he said.

The new Puduraya terminal has three new waiting areas, one on the Mezzanine floor and two more on the first floor. There are two units of walkalators and disabled-friendly facilities.

There are 50 ticketing counters on the first floor. “We have appointed a company to develop an e-ticketing system, and they will work with the bus companies to streamline the system proper,’’ said Jaafar. He added that the e-ticketing system would incorporate the system the bus companies were currently using and that he hoped to resolve the e-ticketing problem as soon as possible.

Spic and span: The new food court.

“Once e-ticketing is enforced, we can resolve the tout problem as people can now buy tickets online and via the e-kiosk. Buses will now have to park at the depot at Jalan Galloway and they will be given a 20-minute waiting time before they can come into Puduraya to pick up passengers,’’ Jaafar said.

“They (buses) will no longer be allowed to park outside the terminal, and situations of them queuing up outside the terminal with their engines running and causing congestion will no longer happen,’’ he said.

He added contractors will be on standby on Saturday to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

Land Public Transport Commis-sions (LPTC) head of State Operations and Terminal Licensing Mohd Fuad Ahmad said there would be extra enforcement by the authorities tomorrow. “We will not tolerate touting and anyone found guilty of touting can be charged in court and fined up to RM50,000 or face a maximum jail term of two years,’’ said Mohd Fuad.

Cooler environment: Puduraya now has three posh waiting areas.

“We will go all out to catch them (touts) as our enforcement personnel will be placed in strategic places to monitor their activities,’’ Mohd Fuad said.

On the upgrading of Puduraya Hotel, which has been renamed Angkasa Express, work is expected to complete by June.

The terminal was closed in April 2010 for upgrading works and was supposed to be re-opened in September last year

Other features
> 1,292 seats in the waiting areas on the ground floor, mezzanine and first floor. The 22 auto-gate system platforms are on the ground floor.

> There is a baby changing room, toilets for the disabled and 80 retail outlets.

> Ticket counters are located at zones A and B on the first floor

> Second floor there is a locker area, lobby, and a surau

> Third floor remains as a public parking area

> Food court is on the fourth floor with 46 stalls and seating for 600 pax

> More than 70 bus operators will be operating at the terminal, sharing 50 ticket counters

Metzelder says: I am very happy with the interior of the terminal which is almost resemble an airport.

However many drivers are complaining about possible traffic jam nightmare once the terminal operational. But I expect those buses will wait at Hang Tuah Terminal before entering Puduraya.

Ticket touts remain major issue as enforcement presence from SPAD is lacking. I shall update after it's open this Saturday.
