Kayu Nasi Kandar owner lodges report over poison-pen letter

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 11:13 PM PDT

KUALA LUMPUR: A "nasi kandar" restaurant owner has lodged a police report over a poison-pen letter accusing him of being a cheat and engaging in gambling and the forecast of lottery numbers.

Sirajudin Mohamed Mydin, 48, the owner and chief executive of Kayu Nasi Kandar Restaurant, dismissed the allegations in the letter as slander by certain quarters envious of his thriving nasi kandar business.

Sirajuddin said he lodged a report at the Shah Alam police headquarters yesterday after his sister-in-law had faxed him the poison-pen letter found pasted at a hairdressing salon in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

He said he hoped that the people would not believe the contents of the letter which attempted to discredit him and his business.

Sirajuddin claimed that his nasi kandar business was growing and that he had three restaurants, in Shah Alam, Damansara and Subang Jaya in Selangor. - BERNAMA

No radioactive contamination in Malaysia: Maximus

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 10:37 PM PDT

KUALA LUMPUR: No radioactive contamination has been detected in Malaysia to date after the March 11 nuclear incident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan, the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry confirmed today.

Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB), as part of its standard procedures, was continuously monitoring the environmental radiological level throughout the country via the Environmental Radiological Monitoring System.

The system is located at seven sites (Chuping, Ipoh, Senai, Melaka, Kuantan, Sri Aman and Kudat).

"Reading at these sites continue to show levels are normal and safe for the people," he said in a statement today.

Malaysia's regulatory limit considered safe for the people is 0.5 micro-Sievert per hour.

Nonetheless, he said, the AELB would continue with its monthly sampling, especially for seawater throughout Malaysia at Kota Baharu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan, Mersing, Kuching, Labuan and Kudat.

Since April 2, various samples, including rainwater, seawater, drinking water, soil and vegetation were taken from various points all over Malaysia to monitor the possibility of radioactive contamination in the country.

Maximus said the AELB and Malaysian Nuclear Agency would continue to offer free individual contamination screening at their headquarters.

People requiring screening and verification of industrial products imported from Japan can make enquiries with ANM at 03-89251201/019-3877609 (Ibrahim Ali) or 03-89256270/019-3888031 (Zulkifli Hashim), he added.

Enquiries can also be made at the AELB information radiological centre's hotline by caling toll-free line at 1-800-88-7999 or e-mail at MNR-Customer@aelb.gov.my. - BERNAMA
