Police bust wild party, detain 15 youths

Report from The New Straits Times dated Monday 27 February 2006 :-

Police bust wild party, detain 15 youths

KUALA LUMPUR, Sun.
---------------------
Police cut short a wild party in an apartment in Jalan P. Ramlee early today and detained 15 youths after they tested positive for drugs.

A team from the Dang Wangi police inspected the unit at 2am following complaints of loud music blaring from the premises.

There, they found 78 people — 48 males and 30 females aged in their 20s — drunk and dancing wildly.

Liquor bottles and beer cans were strewn all over the place, while Ecstasy pills were found in the toilet.

Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Kamal Pasha Jamal said the youths were taken to the Dang Wangi police headquarters for urine tests.

"Fifteen of them, including six females, tested positive for drugs," he said.

Kamal Pasha said the party started out as a birthday celebration and could have descended into a wild sex fest had police not broken it up.

Bigfoot website lauds Chow - credits researcher with creating awareness

Report from The New Straits Times dated Monday 27 February 2006 :-

Bigfoot website lauds Chow - credits researcher with creating awareness

JOHOR BARU, Sun.
------------------
An international Bigfoot research website has paid tribute to Johor biodiversity researcher Vincent Chow for his success in lobbying the authorities to take the Bigfoot sightings in Johor seriously.

The Bigfoot Research Organisation (BFRO) website, which has a main page posting titled "Malaysian Government Investigates Sightings", said: "There is an individual’s story in the background of the Malaysian Bigfoot story.

"For some time, Malaysian environmentalist Chow had lobbied Malaysian authorities to take the sightings seriously and speak openly about them. Chow eventually succeeded, where no man (in other countries) had done before.

"We wish we could have been a ‘fly on the wall’ during that divine moment when Chow finally made officials see the light, and think rationally about the sightings, and the enormity of what they may point to."

Many, including senior state government officials and the media here, recognise 58-year-old Chow’s contributions in highlighting the story of the elusive hairy creature.

It was Chow who tipped off the New Straits Times on its breaking story on Dec 23 of the trio in Kampung Mawai, Kota Tinggi, who claimed they had seen a Bigfoot family of two adults and a child.

The story, backed by a picture of a big footprint, sparked off worldwide interest.

Chow has, over the years, carried out various studies on biodiversity in the jungles of Johor under the Malaysian Nature Society Johor branch and Johor National Park Corporation.

His interest in the Johor Bigfoot started as a child when he followed his father into the jungles near Kluang to check out reports of sightings.

The BFRO also advised the State Government team searching for the creature to consider installing a dozen or so wireless, live microphones in the primary search area.

It said the acoustic monitoring could be less intrusive, require very low maintenance once set up and would help to pinpoint where cameras should be installed.

It said the audio feed could also be enjoyed on the Net.

"Live streaming audio of forest sounds is a relatively low-cost way to allow many people around the world to make an emotional and intellectual connection with Malaysia."

Malaysian clients list hot item for China dolls

Report from The STAR dated Wednesday 1 March 2006 :-

Malaysian clients list hot item for China dolls

THOUSANDS of copies of contact numbers of Malaysian men who had sought the services of prostitutes are being distributed to young women in China.

Sin Chew Daily reported that the “clientele” list was to make the job of these women easier when they reached Malaysia.

The daily also said that more than 100 Chinese nationals, believed to be involved in vice activities, had obtained the list, which had more than 500 handphone numbers.

The report said the prostitutes, who would normally operate in the Klang Valley, would make numerous calls or send lewd messages to the men.

A 37-year-old businessman who went to a prostitute in the Klang Valley two years ago claimed that he had been inundated with calls from the so-called China dolls – more than 30 calls per day.

Yellow noodles contain highest level of boric acid

Report from The STAR dated Wednesday 1 March 2006 :-

Yellow noodles contain highest level of boric acid

Yellow noodles contain the highest amount of boric acid at 70.4%, said the Health Ministry.

Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said in a recent statement that after yellow noodles is wantan noodles with 14.8% boric acid content, then koay teow, laksa, loh see fun and spring roll with 3.7% each.

Negri Sembilan recorded the highest percentage of boric acid misuse for food preservation, followed by Perak, Johor, Penang and Selangor.

A person who consumes food with a lot of boric acid could vomit, suffer from dysentery, dermatitis, kidney failure and damage to the blood vessels.

Boric acid is used to preserve wood in the furniture industry and is also used in medication.

The use of boric acid as a food preservative is banned in the country and those who flout this law can be fined up to RM100,000, jailed 10 years or both.

Dr Chua said the ministry launched a boric acid operation last year and of the 668 samples tested, 27 (4.04%) were found to contain the acid.

He said the ministry's enforcement division would launch a special operation throughout the country this month and next month to nab those who misuse boric acid. – Bernama

Petrol and diesel up

Report from The New Straits Times dated Tuesday 28 February 2006 :-

Petrol and diesel up : LPG also up 30 sen

KUALA LUMPUR, Mon.
---------------------
The price of petrol and diesel will go up by 30 sen per litre tomorrow — the highest-ever single hike in the price of fuel.

The price of liquefied petroleum gas will go up by 30 sen per kilogramme.

The last increase was on July 31 last year, when the Government increased the price of petrol by 10 sen, diesel by 20 sen and LPG by five sen per kg.

But there is also good news: The Government has assured that there will be no fuel price hike for the rest of the year.

A Press statement from the Prime Minister’s Department announcing the price increase said that the money saved in petrol subsidies would be used to improve public transportation and for development projects.

According to the statement, the new rate for unleaded or RON 97 petrol in peninsular Malaysia is RM1.92 per litre, while leaded petrol or RON 92 will be sold for RM1.88 per litre.

The price of diesel will be RM1.58 per litre, while LPG will cost RM1.75 per kg.

In Sabah, RON 97 will be sold at RM1.90, RON 92 at RM1.88 and diesel at RM1.58. LPG will cost RM1.83 per kg.

In Sarawak, RON 97 will be sold at RM1.91, RON 92 at RM1.88 and diesel at RM1.58 per litre. LPG will cost RM1.83 per kilo.

The price hike is not totally unexpected. The Government had hinted at a possible increase if world oil prices kept spiralling.

The statement said the increase was inevitable — given that for 2005 the amount in subsidy paid out by the Government was RM7.41 billion, while tax exemption totalled RM7.85 billion.

The subsidies and tax exemption burden for last month and this month amounted to RM1.19 billion and RM1.44 billion respectively.

As a comparison, without subsidies, the price of RON 97 petrol would cost RM2.46 in peninsular Malaysia, and RM2.45 in Sabah and Sarawak, while RON 92 would cost RM2.37 in the peninsula and RM2.36 in Sabah and Sarawak.

Similarly, diesel would cost RM1.98 in peninsular Malaysia and RM1.97 in Sabah and Sarawak. LPG would cost RM3.21 in the peninsula, RM3.35 in Sabah and RM3.34 in Sarawak.

To ease the burden on certain sectors, the statement said, a subsidised system would be introduced for 84 per cent of diesel-powered vehicles on land, including those in public transport and commercial services.

Using a fleet card, operators will be able to buy diesel at pumps for 15 sen less.

The price of oil has been going up aggressively over the last few years. The price per barrel of oil is now over US$60 (RM222.80)

UTM’s novel invention

Report from The New Straits Times dated Thursday 2 March 2006 :-

UTM’s novel invention

JOHOR BARU, Wed.
------------------
Four undergraduates believe they have come up with a novel invention which the police could use to bring to book errant traffic offenders.

The final-year electrical engineering students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said the iReader and CarID that they had invented could track down the 1.2 million errant motorists and make them pay their outstanding summonses.

The iReader is a gadget about the size of a personal digital assistant (PDA) which can read data about motorists and their vehicles stored in a CarID, which is a Radio Frequency Identification Product (RFID) tag attached to the vehicles’ windshield.

The iReader will contain the vehicle owner’s data and can be updated with information on outstanding summonses and road tax expiry dates.

The CarID can substitute for the present road tax stickers.

"Whenever a vehicle is stopped for inspection, the traffic policeman only needs to scan the CarID with an iReader to get full information about the vehicle and its owner.

"The iReader also features an embedded printer to print out summonses on the spot," said the team’s leader, Lau Yau Kok, whose members included Lee Jin Yee, Kuan Yu Zhi and Lim Shin Huey. Their adviser is Lim Cheng Siong.

Information in the iReader will be updated regularly to enable the traffic police to keep track of offenders.

The system is aimed at tackling the problem of outstanding summonses and loss of man hours in the police force due to the time taken to check data on traffic offenders.

Lau said the iReader cost about RM800 to produce, while the CarID cost only 50 sen.

"This is not expensive, considering the amount of money the gadget will help the traffic police recover," said Lee.

Besides this, the iReader and CarID technology can be applied in other areas such as parking management and toll collection.

Lau and his team were among 12 undergraduates who will represent UTM at the finals of this year’s annual Philips Young Inventors’ Challenge this month.

In all, 15 teams from throughout the country have been shortlisted for the finals.

The event is aimed at encouraging students to combine creativity and imagination through the application of science and technology to invent a device capable of performing a practical function.

Each of the teams should either use a Philips micro-controller or RFID, or both, in their inventions.

Penang hawkers charging more for food

Report from The New Straits Times dated Friday 3 March 2006 :-

Penang hawkers charging more for food

GEORGE TOWN, Thurs.
----------------------
Hawker food in Penang has become more expensive.

A plate of char koay teow at popular outlets on Lorong Selamat and Jalan Macalister now costs 30 sen more, while coconut water at stalls on Jalan Perak is dearer by 20 sen at RM2.20.

Roti canai in Jalan King near here also costs 10 sen more.

A quick stop at a restaurant in Jalan Cantonment also showed an average 10-sen rise for its food spread.

A taxi driver who wished to be identified only as Tan said taxi associations on the island would meet soon to determine a new fare structure following the 30 sen per litre increase in fuel prices.

A resident, Andrew Lee, 28, said he was not surprised by the hike in food prices.

"It’s only to be expected," he said.

"The increase in fuel price is always followed by an increase in the cost of other items too.

"I don’t see how the authorities are going to control hawkers raising their prices."

Lee added that consumers could only respond to such hikes by being more prudent in choosing the eateries they patronised.

Damansara Realty enters JB's premium housing mart

Report from The New Straits Times dated Friday 3 March 2006 :-

Damansara Realty enters JB's premium housing mart

PROPERTY Developer Damansara Realty Bhd, through subsidiary Damansara Realty (Johor) Sdn Bhd, has gained a foothold in the premium residential property segment in Johor Baru with the launch of Aliff Puteri.

Aliff Puteri is located in Taman Damansara Aliff, a 90ha of exclusive residential-cum-commercial development with residential components covering 26ha, commercial 18ha and public facilities 39ha.

Taman Damansara Aliff is located in the vicinity of Bandar Baru Uda and Taman Perling, about 10km away from the city centre.

It is accessible through the Pasir Gudang and Skudai highway, as well as Jalan Tampoi.

Aliff Puteri comprises 192 units of 22x75 double-storey terrace houses which will be launched in three sub-phases, with a total gross development value (GDV) of about RM70 million.

The first 65 units were released for sale on February 25, with a GDV of RM23 million.

Kamaruzzaman Abu Kasim, the executive director of Damansara Realty, said the company aims to make Taman Damansara Aliff on par with upmarket residential areas like Bangsar and Desa Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur.

"We want to make this an exciting place for living, entertainment, shopping and recreation ... in short, a modern and prestigious suburbia," he said.

Kamaruzzaman said a 2.4ha Damansara Square will be pedestrian-orientated and house retail shoplots catering for food and beverage outlets like cafes, speciality hobby shops, as well as a market place.

Another 3.6ha site allocated for a community park is 60 per cent completed. It comprises a man-made lake, outdoor facilities such as jogging tracks, cyclists pathways and facilities for the disabled, as well as exercise workstations.

The park also serves as a flood mitigation measure with two detention ponds in place. Damansara Realty (Johor) has allocated RM8.8 million for the development of the park.

Kamaruzzaman said the launch of Aliff Puteri is the sequel to the successful launch of the first phase of two-storey terrace houses in 2003.

He said 409 units under the maiden launch have been completed and more than 95 per cent of them have been sold.

AirAsia jet fuel usage to rise 33pc

Report from The New Straits Times dated Friday 3 March 2006 :-

AirAsia jet fuel usage to rise 33pc

SINGAPORE, Thurs: Malaysia's AirAsia Bhd will use 4 million barrels of jet fuel, or 11,000 barrels daily, in 2006, up over a third from last year, as the budget carrier expands its fleet and destinations to meet growing passenger demand.

AirAsia will increase its fleet from 38 aircraft to nearly 50 by the end of the year, as it widens Asian destinations by four to 68, chief financial officer Raja Azmi Raja Razali said today. It owns four Airbus 320 carriers and seven Boeing 737s, and the rest are leased.

"There are more Airbus 320s coming in and with more planes and higher frequency, the function of volume in jet fuel demand will increase," Raja Azmi said in a telephone interview.

The airline, which describes itself as one of the world's top three low-cost carriers, sees passenger numbers rising to 8.5 million in 2006 from 6.2 million last year on a growing appetite for travel in South-East Asia if airfares are low enough.

Having hedged 100 per cent of its fuel needs - locking in benchmark US crude futures at between US$50 and US$62 (US$1 = RM3.71) a barrel - until the financial year ending June 2006, AirAsia feels insulated from a surge in fuel prices.

"We will always try to hedge as much as possible as we did for the last four years," Raja Azmi said.

"At this point, oil prices are higher than what we like - after prices hit US$62 a barrel we get a US$12 discount off the market price."

Benchmark jet-kerosene prices in Singapore were 19 per cent higher than year-ago levels at US$74.80 a barrel today, while US crude futures gained 20 per cent in the same period to US$62.57 a barrel.

AirAsia gets its physical jet fuel stocks from local suppliers such as Petronas in Malaysia, Shell in Singapore and PTT in Thailand. - Reuters

Singapore: It won’t be wise for Malaysia to replace bridge

Report from The STAR dated Friday 3 March 2006 :-

Singapore: It won’t be wise for Malaysia to replace bridge

SINGAPORE: Singapore has reiterated yesterday that any unilateral move by Malaysia to demolish its half of the causeway and replace it with a half-bridge will bring about serious implications, “however scenic” the bridge may be.

Foreign Minister George Yeo said the republic had explained the matter to Kuala Lumpur through a third party note.

Yeo made the remark in Parliament in response to the issue raised by MPs during the debate on the 2006 budget.

In January, Malaysia said it was going ahead with the plan to replace its side of the causeway with a crooked half-bridge, to be known as the “scenic bridge”, after talks between the two countries had dragged on without any conclusion.

To a suggestion that both sides tackle first the “the low hanging fruits” in resolving the outstanding bilateral issues between Malaysia and Singapore, Yeo said: “Some are on our tree and some are on theirs. We have to decide what is the correct balance of fruits to be plucked, otherwise no fruit can be plucked at all”.

Yeo said Singapore’s relations with Malaysia were good as they rested on “a bedrock of common history and common interests”.

Prices remain unchanged ‘for now’ except for JB and Alor Star

Report from The New Straits Times dated Thursday 2 March 2006 :-

Prices remain unchanged ‘for now’ except for Johor Bahru & Alor Star

KUALA LUMPUR, Wed.
---------------------
Except for some places in Johor and Alor Star, the price of food, fish and vegetables remained the same today.

However, most traders and food sellers interviewed said they were taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Worried customers were seen asking traders at markets whether there were any increases and sighing with relief when told prices remained unchanged.

In Johor Baru, food prices at most hawker centres shot up overnight following the fuel price increase announced on Monday.

Normal hawker food such as chicken rice, wantan noodles and fishball noodle soup now costs 50 sen more — up from RM3 to RM3.50.

The price of beverages has also gone up, with a glass of coffee, tea or Milo now costing RM1.10 per glass — up 10 sen.

Johor Baru Small Business Association secretary Koh Teng Chia said it was inevitable that the fuel price hike would have a ripple effect on the retail food sector.

In Muar, a spokesman for the Parit Jawa Fishermen's Association said consumers should brace themselves for a 20 to 25 per cent increase in fish prices because of higher diesel prices.

In Alor Star, checks at several wet markets showed a slight price increase in certain types of fish and vegetables.

In Kuala Lumpur, checks at two wet markets showed no signs of an increase in prices. Most traders at the Pudu and Taman Tun Dr Ismail markets are adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

In Penang, residents sighed with relief today when they found food prices unchanged. Checks at the Chowrasta Market showed there was no change in the prices of vegetables and fish.

In Kota Kinabalu, restaurant and supermarket operators said they were "monitoring" the situation.

In Kota Baru, checks at the Siti Khadijah wet market showed that the per kilogramme prices of long beans was still RM4, ikan kembung (RM7) and Chinese cabbage (RM3.80).

In Ipoh, traders said any price increase would depend on suppliers of the goods.

Johor's scientific expedition to look for Bigfoot, finally

Report from The New Straits Times dated Saturday 4 March 2006 :-

Johor's scientific expedition to look for Bigfoot, finally

JOHOR BARU, Sat.
----------------
Is the Johor Bigfoot a product of Orang Asli/Malay folklore or is it part of the rich bio-diversity of Johor’s 240 million-year-old rainforests?

Although there have been reports of numerous Bigfoot sightings since the early 19th century, no effort has been made to organise a scientific study.

Earlier media reports indicate that the Wildlife Department and other authorities had collected physical evidence such as footprints and faeces samples of Bigfoot in the 1900s.

But probably the fear of being ridiculed had stopped the relevant authorities from pursuing the matter.

Records of this evidence could possibly be lying in the department’s archives.

It is therefore timely that the Johor Government, through the Johor National Park Corporation (JNPC), has finally decided to launch a full-scale scientific expedition to ascertain the existence of the elusive humanoid creature.

10 minutes with Vincent Chow

Report from The New Straits Times dated Saturday 4 March 2006 :-

10 minutes with Vincent Chow: Driven by close encounter with creature

March 4:
---------
The Bigfoot story has its fair share of sceptics and believers. But Vincent Chow, a biodiversity researcher and Bigfoot enthusiast, is one person who is steadfast in his belief that the creature does exist. He speaks to R. SITTAMPARAM.


Q: What is your response to being dubbed by the Bigfoot Research Organisation (BFRO) as the man who successfully lobbied the Johor Government to take Bigfoot sightings in the State seriously and speak openly about them?

A: It is a one-sided view. This opening for Bigfoot research in Johor is due to the fact that we have a very responsive Menteri Besar who sees beyond the Bigfoot phenomena in safeguarding and promoting Johor’s rich biodiversity. Given his academic background Abdul Ghani Othman could see the potential of the Bigfoot phenomena which is part of Johor’s unique fauna, in putting the State on the world map.

Q: Do you personally believe that the Johor Bigfoot exists?

A: Yes, based on my personal experience as a young boy when I have seen enough Bigfoot footprints and had a frightening close encounter with the creature.

It was during an evening hunting trip with my father and his friends at the edge of the jungle near my hometown in Kluang, when I was 13 years’ old. We suddenly saw the trees shaking as if something big was passing through the area. An old and experienced hunter I knew as Panjang told me it was not any common mammal like the elephant.

The following day on checking the area where the movement was seen we found evidence like broken twigs and branches that showed something big had passed through. Since then I have always been curious.

I have followed my father who was also fascinated by the Bigfoot to check out several sightings in the early 60s in Air Hitam, Machap, Simpang Renggam and Kulai and saw giant footprints. The older generation in these towns can remember these sightings.

Q: Can you clear the air on the confusion over the Mawas and Bigfoot?

A: I think the confusion was caused due to the adoption of the name Mawas for the Bigfoot by early settlers from Indonesia, where the orang utan is called Mawas. So when the settlers, especially at Kota Tinggi, saw the Bigfoot they thought it was some type of orang utan and even named their village Kampung Mawas which later came to be known as Kampung Mawai.

Q: What is your answer to the cynics who say that the Bigfoot story is pure fiction and that the Bigfoot was actually an orang utan?

A: Again it is due to the confusion caused by the name, Mawas. Village people who have sighted Bigfoot refer to it as Mawas but the description they give does not fit that of the orang utan.

Yesterday I talked to an old man at Kampung Mawai where many of the recent Bigfoot sightings have occurred. He told me that he saw a hairy creature of about two metres tall, catching fish at a swamp just like a human being. It was upright all the time.

The old man said he was about 40m away and could see the orange coloured hair, upturned nose and slight hunch of the creature which I believe to be a juvenile Bigfoot.

This cannot be an orang utan which are tree dwellers and walk on all fours. Their footprints would also not be so big and deep.

Q: What do you feel about the wide foreign interest in the Johor Bigfoot?

A: It will benefit Johor but we have to screen foreign groups who arrive here to look for the Bigfoot to see where their interest lies. We should not entertain those with doubtful reasons especially those who come to take scientific evidence back to their countries to claim as their own finding. That kind of ownership must go to Malaysia.

The foreign media who arrived here so far including the British Broadcasting Corporation, have only made short documentaries based on interviews with eye witnesses and the creature’s footprints in secondary jungles.

However a blanket ban would not be conducive for the State’s eco-tourism.

Q: Based on the evidence so far, can the Johor Bigfoot be found soon?

A: A full-scale scientific expedition with scientists equipped with state-of-the-art equipment will have a good chance of capturing its sounds or visuals but they have to be very stealthy as from what we know of the creature, it is intelligent enough to evade humans.
