Dataran Merdeka not approved for Bersih 3.0 rally, Apr 28

The above image shows Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka/Independance Square) located in the KL city centre in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. As Dataran Merdeka is not being approved for the Bersih 3.0 rally tomorrow, KL mayor, Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail, has declared the square and all roads leading to it closed from 6am today to 6am on Sunday.

If you are a tourist in Kuala Lumpur over this weekend, if you are not too keen being caught up in crowds, the city is to be avoided tomorrow (Saturday). Instead, explore attractions outside of the city or perhaps go south to historical Malacca.

Bersih is advocating for free and fair polls for the country. Peaceful sit-in Bersih 3.0 rallies will be staged nationwide tomorrow, Dataran Merdeka being the venue for KL. In Ipoh, it will be at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Recreational Park, popularly known as the Polo Ground. The last rally, Bersih 2.0, was held on July 9 last year.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea through to the UEFA Champions League final on May 19

Did you root for Real Madrid to reach the finals of the UEFA Champions League? Unfortunately, they lost to Bayern Munich who will be meeting Chelsea who came out winners in the other semifinal set. Chelsea beat another Spanish team, Barcelona, to be in the finals which will be played at Allianz Arena on May 19 in Munich.

There are lots of football fans here in Malaysia. Both of the semifinal games were played in the early morning hours our local time so the mamak stalls and eateries that are open 24 hours would not have been crowded with football fans or would they still be?

Besides enjoying a wonderful glass of aromatic teh tarik (pulled tea) and delicious roti canai (local pancake), patrons at mamak foodstalls also get to enjoy live telecasts of sports events.

Wnen you visit Malaysia, you mustn't miss the experience. Mamak foodstalls are all over Malaysia especially in a bustling and friendly city like Kuala Lumpur where the city never sleeps and streetfood aplenty.

The existing canopy walk along Summit Road will be dismantled and the materials salvaged for reuse.

Powerful 6.6 quake strikes off eastern Indonesia

The Star reported that a powerful earthquake hit waters off eastern Indonesia early this morning sending residents and schoolchildren running into the streets in panic. Authorities said the temblor did not have the potential to trigger a tsunami and there were no reports of serious damage or injuries.

The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.6 quake hit 50 miles (83 kilometres) off Papua province. It was centered just 18 miles (30 kilometres) beneath the ocean floor.

Indonesia, straddling a series of fault lines and volcanoes, is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire."

A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh.

End of sports monopoly

Good news for sports fans in Malaysia.

From May 1, all free-to-air TV stations that do not have broadcasting rights for major sporting events of mass appeal, will be able to share the contents obtained by the rights holder.

Information, Communications and Culture Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, said the move is to enable all sporting events that involve the interest of the country to receive wide coverage instead of being monopolised by the rights-holder. This move is so that all Malaysians can watch these sporting events that are being televised live. He added that if a specific sporting event was aired by a free-to-air TV station, the contents would be shared by pay TV stations.

Among the sporting events falling under the sharing programme are the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, Sea Games, Sukma, Thomas and Uber Cups, All England, BWF Super Series, AFC Asian Cup, Asean Football Federation Cup, Fifa World Cup (semifinals and final) and English Premier League.

Cane and rattan furniture in Kuala Lumpur

Crowd-puller: Tham ’s rattanware attracting customers


Cane and rattan furniture used to be very popular some two or three decades ago. Nowadays, it is not easy to find such furniture not because it has become unpopular but because being labor-intensive and the price not commensurating the work involved, lesser people are interested in picking up the trade. Cane and rattan furniture is done by hand and some pieces can involve hardwork. Workmanship and precision are key factors in making fine cane and rattan furniture pieces.

Mass-produced furniture has now replaced this once-popular type of furniture. Truth be told, cane and rattan furniture is comfortable, dainty and elegant in its special way.

So, if you are looking to buy cane or rattan furniture and other rattan products, here is a source. Mr Tham Kok Cheong is a furniture maker and has a shop making such furniture. He makes the furniture himself with help from his staff.

Mr Tham can be reached at (6)019-382 5208.

In case you're wondering, this is not a sponsored post neither do I know Mr Tham. I just thought to share this information as there have been many enquiries about cane and rattan furniture in KL. Besides, I'd like to see this dying trade continue and I hope to contribute to this in my own little way.

Kuala Dirang in Perak is flooded

The Star today carries an article of a town in the north being flooded. Kuala Dirang is the town. This is a town I have not heard of before, probably many other Malaysians too.

A disaster, natural or otherwise, may not be all bad. At least media coverage brings awareness the existence of a town or a village. This is a case in point.

An extraordinarily heavy overnight downpour caused flooding in several places in the state of Perak in the north resulting in some 1,145 people from villages around Kuala Dipang to be affected by floods on Thursday. Some 95 villagers were evacuated from Kuala Dipang early Thursday, after heavy rains overnight caused floodwaters to rise chest high.

Kampar is also flooded.
