My First Dip in The Water @ a POND In Muar Tanjung -Swimming, I Mean...

Front left to right: Cheng Teik, Chong Kim Kek, donyoo,Chua Hong Yau,Peh bah Heng,Quek Chat Seng and the front two are Lee Kim Yau and Ng Seak Meng.

It was my virgin dip in the water beside my bath tub...Most of us do not know how to swim then...and this pond has got the history of drowning case!

Now the piece of green there has turned into a golf course and this pond is still existing there.

I think the photographer was either Goh Kheng Thai or Chee Yu Guan.

Malaysia Today Terkini

Popular Malaysian political website blocked:

Government Malaysia on Thursday defended blocking access to a prominent political website that has attacked top leaders, saying it had ignored warnings against publishing "slanderous" articles.

Malaysia's media is tightly controlled by the government, and it has expressed frustration over its inability to rein in Internet news portals which have become popular alternative news sources.

The Star newspaper said the government-backed communications watchdog had ordered all 21 Internet providers in the country to block the Malaysia Today website, whose founder has already been charged with sedition.

"I think we don't intend to curtail people's freedom and right to give information and debate," Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar told reporters.

"But when you publish content that is libellous, defamatory and slanderous to other people I think it is only natural we take action," he said.

"So many warnings and opportunities have been given and it is not heeded, so I am sure they have exercised their authority well under the law."

Raja Petra Kamaruddin, founder and editor of the Malaysia Today website, confirmed that access to his website had been blocked but said a mirror site had been established with a foreign provider.

"I will fight the government action all the way. Their action will not stop me from writing," he said, promising to challenge the shutdown in court.

Raja Petra is already facing a sedition charge and a defamation suit after linking Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife to the sensational murder of a Mongolian woman.

Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders ranks Malaysia 124 out of 169 on its worldwide press freedom index, and says the main media are "often compelled to ignore or to play down the many events organised by the opposition".

The government has previously threatened that bloggers could be punished under draconian internal security laws which provide for detention without trial.

Leatherback Turtle sighting in Rantau Abang -WAY BACK in 08/06/1980

My last visit here was in 1980,while i was still having my course in Polytechnic Kuantan.I came alone here from Kuantan after a term break; by hitch hiking!!

This was a turtle hatchery site just beside the Rantau Abang beach.Look at the simple set up here when compare to the new facilities today at Cherating.

This leatherback turtle was huge in size. Almost like the size of a "Kancil car" !! In those days while she was laying the eggs;everyone can have a feel by touching and stroking her...! Yeah including myself...i felt that the body was warm and her back was soft not like the rest of the turtle. No wonder this species are called the "leather back" turtle.

Camera flashes were every where from all corners of the visitors.Once the turtle has started to lay eggs,she will not move or shy away from those harassment from the visitors.But now as i had experience in the Cherating sighting;the whole process of it was very tight and governed by the park rangers on guard.The rule was : No camera flashes,lower our voice volume and do not stand to stare from the turtle's front while she is laying eggs.

I have had heard about and even saw some old post card;people climbed on top of the turtle's back for a ride before she goes back to the sea!! Xzx*#@!

The sighting for this species has tremendously dropped to an unbelievable point ! Who got to be blame? The tourist? The authorities? Or the turtle themselves? Haha stupid isn't it?I don't see tiger or lion vanishing from the Indian Jungle or from the Safari Park in Africa? I strongly believe it is the humans' behavior that causes the species to extinct.i.e: trap in the fishing net, get caught and slaughter for its meat or might be even being eaten before they were full grown and many other more tales... And i do not think they are that fussy to choose their breeding ground.What say You?

while i was in Cherating on the 23/8/08 i was told that there were about 5 sighting of leatherback turtle on the Terengganu Beaches!!! for the last few months.Is was a good news indeed.That's why i say if these mother turtles got a ill feeling of our tourist here...they would never never want to come back...but please remember they are just animals.it is our duty to conserve these species and protect them by all means.The campaign of conservation must be year long and forever as long as the species are still around and NOT Hangat hangat tahi Ayam one ma!like the Road safety Campaign.

Day trip to Pulau Redang & Pulau Lang Tengah FROM Perhentian on 22/8/08

At the beautiful Long Beach @ Pulau Redang . This is my 6 th trip here. My first two trips was in the 80's where the island was not developed yet.My 3rd trip was in 29/5/04 ,4th with LeeBC and 5th trip was in 30/4 2005 with my office companies. Some scenic part of Long Beach

The scenic view@Long Beach of Pulau Redang.Here you can find plenty of food stalls,chalets and motels.Fewer Mat salleh were on this island when compare to Perhentian.

Pulau Lang Tengah,an island situated west of Redang.Our daytrip here inclusive of a short dive on one of the snorkelling spot here on this island.This day trip was RM 500.00 handled by the same boat man-Joe.It takes you about 45 minutes from the Perhentian island to Redang. Pulau Lang Tengah is just on the way to Redang from Perhentian.About 15 minutes away.

Pulau Redang ...a distance view from Pulau Lang Tengah.

My boat man -Joe and his company-a cheerful boy of 11 years old-Alwi.Cute and brave! I was behind and a distance away from this little boy;during the shark viewing excursion at the Shark Point-Due to my Bo Lam Par-I thought a lot during that moment of shark viewing....thinking of the girls' safety and my both pair of hairy legs...Wau Lau >>>>"Better get up soon before too late!!!"(in my MinD) Further more this Joe was squeezing hard on the plastic bottle to attract the shark!!

This picture was taken when were back to the Perhentian island later in the evening.

Anyway the ride to Redang was not all very smooth; the sea was choppy and the wind was strong too.you know people like us we always had some "thought" during that moment seeing the water and the distance away...Shit!...

I caught a sea cucumber

This Lang Tengah has a nice spot for snorkeling

I caught a parrot fish too; using my shirt as a net.Later it was released into the sea again.Found some stranded sea cucumber on the Perhentian beach;i managed to transfer them to the water area.

A crystal clear water...

Have you seen HIM lately??

Have u seen him lately? He is a wanted man,a quadruplet of quadroon mixed Mogolian,Nick name "Sokarno" in the 60's. Those days in 70's he was called Alfred and now woock,Jake, but lately changed to nick name don and he is a close cousin of Don Corleone from Milan,Italia.

Ini Macam Pun Ada

I was quite shock to read the line..."I am happy that i can contribute something to the country" !!!

If i ( that's me OK?) want to contribute to the country; i will first start with my own community service...I will start to clean up the Bukit Maluri's wet markets' dirty clogged drain.

Hehe! if i were to do it for 30 hours and 4 seconds...Can i get a "Malaysia Book of Records" for doing this feat ?? Being >"THE LONGEST DIRTY CLOGGED DRAIN CLEANED BY A SINGLE MAN"??!!?? Will they grant me that title??

I would want to eat and enjoy my "proper Meals" not just fruits,bread and raisins as reported.So that i have the energy to do the cleaning work.

As for me...to be a proud and patriotic Malaysian, one must do something that is beneficial to his community,the Rakyat as a whole must benefit from what you did ... Not just personal "Hu Ha" Tak steamlah !!

Personally i would comment that what he did was more of an endurance feat and personal guts.I wonder would he called off the show if the sky started to rain heavily with thunder storm?? And a wind speed of 60 km/hr up there??

Next time do something else man!!

My Trip to Pulau Perhentian-Kecil & Besar on 20/8 to 23/8

My family's trip on 20/8/2008 to this little town of Kuala Besut,Terengganu and i 've witnessed a vast changes on this little town of Kuala Besut. It has transformed from a busy fishing port ( smelly stink from rotten fishes and the poluted river) to a clean and calm jetty. My last visit here was in 1979! May be they have shifted the original fishing jetty to some where else.

It took me solid 6 hours of lone driving to reach this small town, excluded the one hour of breakfast (@ Kuala Lipis ) and lunch ( @ Kuala Kerai-packing & go;didn;t stop long) Oh my dear,this was the first time to have driven from KL > Bentong > Kuala Lipis > Gua Musang > Kuala Kerai > Machang > Pasir Putih and Finally Kuala Besut. I have travelled about 480 Km from home. I found out that i really love to drive!!

I did bring along the two sugar glider babies. They didn't give much problem to us.

BELOW & ABOVE : The much improved jetty ever since my previous visit on 1979

The linkage from the land to the sea, shops are along the long corridor. The cost of the ferry was rm 320.00 to & fro! ( RM 70 FOR AN ADULT AND RM 40 FOR MY BABE)

On the way to the island.

This was where we stayed- The Arwana Perhentian.Breakfast buffer was rm 18++.No thrill at all....

The FUN ,The SUN, The Beach and the FOOD....

Lovely beaches....

GOING ROUND THE TWO ISLAND-PERHENTIAN BESAR & KECIL

Our rented boat "Trans Era" -ROUND THE BOTH ISLAND TRIP COST ME RM 350.00. YOU CAN CONTACT jOE ;A LOCAL mALAY YOUNG MAN @ 019-9385898 for this boat service. The whole trip lasted about 6 hours.

A school of fishes feeding on the bread My little Mermaid...she loves to swim This place is called Shark Point by the locals.Situated between Teluk KK and Everfresh resort.Sighting of the baby shark is possible.we had seen one three footer baby shark in this location; swimming about 20 m away form us-A beautiful blue baby shark of 3 feet in length. Our boat man Joe filled up a 1500 ml plastic bottle and squeeze the bottle hard and it will create a sound that will attract the attention of the shark!?(He told me that this was how they did to attract the shark to come !!??) Anyway i didn't stay long at this location cos Bo Lam Par to see a giant shark come towards me!

Another interesting place which we have experienced during the excursion was at the Tuna Bay.At this place we managed to see two full grown green turtle. Woh! it was fun to tail the turtle while it searches for food ( May be looking for some cockles under the sea bed)

This is how the Green Turtle look like in the sea

Beautiful rock cliff along the edges of the island The Pulau Perhentian Besar Balai Polis & the modern jetty in front of the balai. Otak Otak (The locals called it satay Fish-Not my kind of taste ;too sweet for me,The east coast people have sweet tooth) stall on the beach front and the makan stall. We had our lunch here during the round island trip.The food Ok lah! This place is mainly for tourist who stop over. They cater a lot for MatSalleh taste.Like fruits salads,sandwiches,etc. This was the restaurant (a stone throw form Arwana ) that we spent most of our meals there. the food was delicious and good at at reasonable price.Siakap (Sea Bass)was RM 4 to 5 per 100 gm and a plate of Kampung fried rice was rm 5.00,fish & chips was rm 10.00 but a can of beer was rm 9.00.This Macik cook is good at cooking.

The B' first Bar...breakfast at 8.30 only-missed it,served too late' got to rush for the boat ride round the island at 0800 hours.Lunch - missed it too;cos went outing in the sea and dinner...we spent all our dinner here for the whole 4 days stay....just imagine how good was the food there!

Simple fruits salad and mixed vege , it really taste good!

My daughters likes to order these Mat Salleh meals...but when they saw our order of fish and others dishes came ...they too can't resist to taste our food! This simple nasi goreng kampung was good indeed!The squids were fresh!

This 700 grams ikan Siakap (Sea Bass) cost me rm 35.00 (@ rm 5.00 per 100 grams)was cooked with butter & garlic.It really tested delicious.The first night we had a 500 grams cooked with sweet & sour @ rm4 .00 per 100 grams and the last (3rd) night we had the same type of fish ...and we were recommended to try the grill in aluminium foil.
