Biomass capable of RM100b return by 2020: PM

KUALA LUMPUR:Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the project to give added value to oil palm or biomass to be implemented through the formation of the Global Science and Innovations Advisory Council (GSIAC) is capable of generating an additional national returns of about RM100 billion by the year 2020.

KUALA LUMPUR: A bill that will pave the way for the implementation of minimum wages was tabled at the Dewan Rakyat for the first and second reading yesterday.

The National Wages Consultative Council Bill 2011, tabled by Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan, seeks to replace the Wages Council Act 1947 and set up a National Wages Consultative Council to conduct studies on minimum wage.


The council will also make recommendations to the government on minimum wages according to sectors, types of employment and regions.


Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he hoped to have the minimum wage policy in place by year-end if Parliament passed the bill.

The bill states that the council shall consist of a minimum of 23 people, with the chairman, deputy chairman and at least five other members to be appointed from those who are not public officers, employers or trade union members.


The council shall consult the public on rates of minimum wages, collect and analyse data and information, and conduct research on wages before making recommendations to the Human Resources Ministry.


Once the bill is passed, the council can make recommendations through the minister on coverage, commencement and implementation of recommended minimum wage rates.

It is up to the government to agree with the recommendations or to ask the council to take another look. If the ministry agrees with the recommendations, it will make a minimum wage order, which is subject to a review by the council at least every two years.


The bill states that it shall not be construed as preventing employers and employees from agreeing to rates that are higher than the minimum wages as specified.


It also states that an employer who fails to pay the basic wages, as specified in the minimum wages order, to his employees, on conviction, is liable to a fine of not more than RM10,000 for each employee.

At present, the Wages Council Act is applicable only with respect to the minimum wages if the minister believes that no adequate machinery exists for the regulation of the remuneration or condition of employment of employees.


Also tabled for the first and second reading yesterday was the amendment to the Employment Act 1955, aimed at giving more rights to domestic workers, including foreign workers.


The main purpose is to make it compulsory for wages of employees, including domestic workers, to be banked into their accounts.


According to the bill, the amendments will enable pregnant employees to enjoy "maternity protection" as early as from 22 weeks of pregnancy should premature births or miscarriages occur.

Customs detain Indonesian woman with syabu

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 10:57 PM PDT

BUTTERWORTH: The Penang Customs Department detained an Indonesian woman and seized 5.788 kg of syabu worth RM1.4 million from her at the Penang International Airport in Bayan Lepas early yesterday.

Its director Datuk Zulkifli Yahya said the woman, in her 40's, was detained at 2.15am after arriving from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

He said the drug was found hidden in her luggage bags when a Customs officer from the Passenger Inspection Unit conducted screening and became suspicious of the screen images of packages in the bags.


"On inspecting the woman's two luggage bags, the officer found two packets containing white crystalline powder kept in the special compartment of each bag."

Zulkifli said their intial investigation found that the woman had travelled from Indonesia on June 17 and was on transit at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport before flying to Ho Chi Minh City, then she flew back to KLIA before coming to Penang.

He said they did not dismiss the possibility that the drug was for the international market and further investigation was being carried out.


The woman is being remanded for 13 days to facilitate the investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries the mandatory death penalty. -- BERNAMA

14 dead in widespread Philippine floods

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 10:02 PM PDT

MANILA: Widespread flooding due to unusually heavy rains in many parts of the Philippines has killed 14 people in recent days, the government said today.

A total of 10 people drowned in villages lining the Pulangui, one of 11 rivers on the major southern island of Mindanao that overflowed their banks, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said.

In two other incidents on Mindanao, a girl drowned in Cotabato city and a man was killed by the overflowing Lanang River, the government agency said in its latest report.


Two other deaths were reported on the main island of Luzon.

Large areas of Mindanao recorded more than two and a half times the normal level of rainfall in the first half of June, said Edna Juanillo, a climatologist at the state weather service.

"This is quite abnormal," she told AFP.


The floods began two weeks ago and affected 59 Mindanao towns and five cities with a combined population of more than 700,000, the disaster council said.

They wrought 429 million pesos' ($9.9 million) worth of damage to houses, crops, roads, bridges and schools, and have caused nearly 9,000 people to flee their homes to seek shelter in government-run evacuation camps.

The government has also handed out food and other relief aid to nearly 90,000 more people who chose to stay with relatives instead of going to the camps, it added.


More than 1,000 soldiers, government workers and volunteers have been clearing tonnes of water hyacinth from the Rio Grande river over the past week to ease flooding in Cotabato and surrounding towns, it said.

The council also reported flooding on some areas of Luzon, including parts of Manila, caused by a storm that brushed past the east coast on Monday.

It said two girls drowned in Dinalupihan, north of the capital, while a boy was missing in the partially flooded northern city of Olongapo.

The state weather service said it was monitoring a tropical depression off the Pacific coast that was expected to brush past eastern Luzon over the next few days. - AFP

Flood spoils 30-year vinyl collection

ALOR STAR: Flood victim Tengku Nahar Tengku Mansor, 48, was devastated when he came home to find his collection of vinyl records was soaked in mudwaters after the city was ravaged by floods last Wednesday.

The father of three only realised the irreparable damages when he returned to his house at Taman Rakyat, Jalan Sultanah Bahiyah here on Saturday after seeking refuge at a relative's home in Hutan Kampung.

Self-employed Tengku Nahar said his record collection were kept in the storeroom of his double-storey house and he had forgotten about the records when his family were rushing to evacuate the house last week.


"I was busy moving our furniture to the upper-floor when the flood started to reach our doorstep last Wednesday. I forgot about the records that was stacked in a box which I placed on the floor of the store room," said crestfallen Tengku Nahar.

Tengku Nahar said he may salvage the vinyl records but the album covers were spoilt.

His collection includes evergreens and superstars the likes of Bee Gees, Dan Hill, Neil Young, David Gates, Kim Carnes, Cliff Richard, Nat King Cole, and Graham Nash.


Tengku Nahar began collecting the vinyl records in the 1970s, and he loved each of them dearly.

"This is the precious collection of my life, I simply could not believe that I forgot about them when we were leaving the house," he added.

Tengku Nahar had lived in Langkawi for over 20 years before moving back to his hometown in Alor Star two months ago.


"I had never expected this area would be inundated by flood as it was never badly affected even during the major flood in 2005. I certainly hope that it would not occur again," he said.

He thanked the volunteer rescuers for helping them in the evacuation process.

"I didn't realise how serious the situation was until the rescuers arrived at 11pm on Thursday telling us to leave the house as the authority was about to cut-off the electricity supply on safety ground," he said, sharing his first experience with flood disaster.

Tengku Nahar said he was planning to frame all the vinyl record and have them hung on the wall but did not have the time to do so.

He only managed to frame his most treasured album 'Thriller', by the late King of Pop Michael Jackson. "At least I still have this."

Nation needs DNA banks, says lead CSI

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 10:50 AM PST

2010/12/08
By Nor Hidayati Mokhtar

SHAH ALAM: Malaysia needs to build DNA banks or repositories to assist in solving crimes and prosecuting cases, according to a senior forensic police officer.

Head of the Police Forensic Lab's Crime Scene Unit (CSU) Supt Amidon Anan said the ability to collect DNA at crime scenes often proved futile as the forensic lab had only a limited bank of samples.

"Having the DNA is useful if we have suspects we can match the samples against. But we are unable to use the samples to help us find potential perpetrators as we don't have DNA banks like what you see on the television series CSI," said Amidon.


He was speaking to students from UiTM's Faculty of Communication and Media Studies on the topic, 'Crime as the elective subject' at the campus here on Oct 5.

The need to create and develop DNA banks was critical, said Amidon, given the high public expectations on the police to safeguard society and reduce crime.

He said: "DNA banks can help the CSU in many pending cases, such as Nurin Jazlin. It was sad that while we were able to collect a DNA sample from the body of the child, we had little means or resources to match it with the likely murderer," he said.


Nurin Jazlin was a high-profile case of a missing child whose body was subsequently dumped in a gym bag in Petaling Jaya more than three years ago.

Amidon expressed his frustration that the CSU's repeated requests for the establishment of DNA banks seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

While the cost of implementing such a project would be substantial, he said it would only escalate over time and "if not now, then when?"


"It is not about being a hero in solving these cases. It is about finding justice for the victim's family."

"Having this ability to solve and prosecute cases would significantly reduce the ability of criminals to get away with their crimes," added Amidon.

Badminton / Indonesia Open: Daren gets chance for revenge against Taufik

Liew Daren (left) will meet Taufik Hidayat while Lee Chong Wei (right) will play Tommy Sugiarto in the Indonesia Open first round today.

Liew Daren (left) will meet Taufik Hidayat while Lee Chong Wei (right) will play Tommy Sugiarto in the Indonesia Open first round today.

LIEW Daren survived the qualifying rounds again to set up a rematch against local favourite Taufik Hidayat in the Indonesia Open in Jakarta yesterday.

Daren beat Indonesians Indra Bagus Ade Chandra 21-13, 21-13 and Evert Sukamta 21-7, 21-18 to reach the main draw where he will meet Taufik in the first round today.

The Malaysia held a 13-8 lead in the deciding game against Taufik in the first round of the Singapore Open last week but squandered the opportunity to pull off a major upset and crashed 22-24, 21-12, 21-18.


It will be tough to beat Taufik in a tournament where the Indonesian is aiming for a record seventh title but Daren, who has been in good form of late, should stay focused and target his opponent's scalp.

Hafiz Hashim, not surprisingly, lost 21-16, 22-20 to Hsueh Hsuan Yi of Taiwan in the first round of the qualifiers to continue his poor run this year.

Title holder Lee Chong Wei will play Tommy Sugiarto of Indonesia while his arch rival Lin Dan of China will meet another Indonesian, Alamsyah Yunus, who tends to play well at home, today.


In the men's doubles, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong play Thailand's Songphon Anugritayawon-Sudket Prapakamol while Fairuzizuan Tazari-Ong Soon Hock take on Fang Chieh Min-Lee Sheng Mu of Taiwan.

Zakry Latif-Hoon Thien How will have to battle hard for survival against Indonesia's No 3 Mohammad Ahsan-Bona Septano while Gan Teik Chai-Tan Bin Shen will not have it easy r against hard-working Naoki Kawamae-Shoji Sato of Japan.

In the women's doubles, Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui will meet Denmark's Line Kruse-Marie Roepke in the first round.

Football: Strikers to make it count this time

STRIKERS Izzaq Faris Raman and Syahrul Azwari Ibrahim have both set a target when they face Lebanon in tomorrow's return leg of the Olympic Qualifiers.

The duo want to forget about their performances in the first leg in Beirut, where they were misfiring in Lebanon's penalty box.

Izzaq started the match as the main striker before the 21-year-old was replaced by Syahrul minutes after the breather in Beirut.


Izzaq said he was nervous at first in the first leg as the Lebanese players were physical.

"They were aggressive in their play and the humidity in Beirut was also not helping. I had no problems taking on their defenders but luck deserted me when I had the opportunities to score," said Izzaq at the National Sports Council (NSC) training ground in Bukit Jalil yesterday.

"I want to put the first leg behind me by helping my team win on Thursday (tomorrow). It does not matter who scores, as long as we win."


The first leg in Beirut was Izzaq's first Olympic qualifying match. The striker was injured when Malaysia defeated Pakistan 2-0 on aggregate in February.

"I felt uneasy playing in Beirut as it was an away match, though there were more Malaysian fans in the empty stadium. We will feel more comfortable at home. I hope the fans will come support us in numbers," added the Kuala Terengganu-born who has scored seven goals for Young Tigers A in the Super League.

Syahrul, who is expected to start on the bench in the return leg, said his team will likely play attacking football tomorrow.


"We were in Beirut to play a defensive game. It was not easy for us as we needed to help out in defence. I am certain we will be more adventurous upfront here."

"I hope I can play in the return leg but it will depend on coach Ong Kim Swee's tactics," said Syahrul, who hails from Tanah Merah, Kelantan.

'The Curse' lifted by a gifted cast

'The Curse' lifted by a gifted cast

2011/06/21
By Shenton Thomas De Silva


THE Parent-Teacher Association of SMK Permas Jaya 3, Pasir Gudang, recently staged The Curse, a spellbinding theatre play, at Dewan Sultan Iskandar, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Johor Baru.

More than 3,000 students from several schools were in attendance.

The play is based on the Malaysian novel by Lee Su Ann, about a girl traumatised by the murder of her sister.


Last year, the school performed The Pearl at Dewan Serbaguna, Johor Jaya, which attracted about 2,700 students. The Pearl is based on a novel by John Steinbeck.

School principal Kamisah Aziz, said theatre and drama would encourage creativity in the students, and promote the use of English.

"The show involved students of all races, in line with the 1Malaysia concept," she said.


Kamisah said the school would continue to stage more of such performances if the response was encouraging.

The play, organised with the help of the Johor Education Department, will next be presented at Dewan Serbaguna in Johor Jaya on July 2. Show times are from 8.30am to noon, and 8pm to 11pm.

Johor Education Department academic management sector deputy head Abu Talib Abdullah, who is also the Bahasa Malaysia department principal assistant director; English department principal assistant director Shanmuganathan Suppiah, and Pasir Gudang district education office English language officer Baharuddin Ishak were among those involved in the organisation of the play.


It was produced with the help of Yayasan Warisan Johor and Akademi Seni Budaya & Warisan Kebangsaan Johor (Aswara).

Talib, who opened the play, hoped the staging of The Curse would generate more students' interest in theatre.

"This is also a step forward in efforts to improve the standard of English among students in the state," he said in his speech.

Talib said involvement in theatre would keep students away from negative activities.

Shanmuganathan, meanwhile, said the play was "educative, informative and entertaining".

"I would personally give the performance 10 out of 10," he said.

The English department principal assistant director expressed the hope that it would spur students to join or start drama or theatre clubs in their schools.

SMK Taman Tun Aminah student E. Povaneswari, 17, said the play taught her a new way to improve her English.

Her schoolmate Wong Hui Shan, 17, said she was encouraged to read more English books after watching it.

"The plot and dialogue were easy to follow," she said.

Huda Mansor, 17, from SMK Sultan Alauddin, loved the teamwork displayed by the cast.

She said the actors performed well as they managed to evoke varied responses from the audience.

"They made us cry and laugh. We were able, in a way, to join them in the story."

Johor Baru district education officer for secondary schools Ruzana Saat said the students delivered an excellent performance.

Nor Fadzleen Saidon, who teaches at SMK Tasek Utara, Johor Baru, said the students performed beyond all expectations.

The actors rehearsed between five and eight hours a day for four months.

Production manager Munira Abdul Razak, 25, believed that the cast would have done even better if they had had more time to rehearse.

Director Hafeezah Sulong, 34, lauded the actors for their admirable achievement despite their lack of proficiency in English.

She was particularly impressed by Norsyahirah Ahmad Tarmizi, 17, who played the lead character Azreen Saleh.

Norsyahirah managed to memorise 36 pages of script in three weeks.

"She has great potential," said Hafeezah.

Long-lasting creations Jaro can be proud of

Long-lasting creations Jaro can be proud of


THREE things took place recently to set me off on a quest for my Jaro mementos -- a visit to the new Johore Area Rehabilitation Organisation (Jaro) showroom, my wrestling match with our furniture cushions and reading about batu seremban, a childhood game, in an in-flight magazine.

These events may seem unrelated but please bear with me to see how it all link up.

It all started when I had a peek at the revamped display of new products in the Jaro showroom at Jalan Sungai Chat, Johor.


I used to frequent Jaro with my mum and aunties, and their friends Auntie Milly and Auntie Winnie who were the managers there.

After being introduced to their range of beautifully handmade products, I became a fan of these useful items and often bought them for myself and souvenirs for visitors.

Jaro has a proud heritage in Johor Baru and is an established brand for quality products that are made by people with disabilities.


Since 1952, the disabled have been given opportunities to be gainfully employed in bookbinding, basketry, tailoring, and handicrafts in the shelter's workshops.

Every Jaro product is unique because its quality and workmanship depends on the effort and determination put into its creation.

For as long as I can remember, our sitting room furniture has been made of cane or rattan, probably because woven rattan is attractive and cooling to sit on in our tropical climate.


Since my parents returned to live and work in Johor Baru, all our sitting room furniture have been bought at Jaro.

When the cushion covers need to be changed, it's my job to put on a fresh set of covers. It takes a bit of skill to manoeuvre the large squares of cushions snugly into the fitted covers and while this procedure entails some serious wrestling with the cushions, this time, I paid special attention to the fabric because this set of covers has lasted more than 20 years.

And when I flipped over one of the covers, I was impressed to see that it proudly bore a label with the distinctive Jaro logo.

This drove me on in my quest and I quizzed mum to find other Jaro products in our home, besides the furniture and her pretty pot-holders.

Mum routinely clears our storeroom, so she knows what we have accumulated over the years, and knows the exact location of the Jaro rattan basket which I used as a vanity case was in the storeroom .

It was hard work to reach this little woven basket on the rear top shelf but halfway in my quest, I discovered another Jaro-made rattan shopping basket.

I recognised it instantly because we carried it with us on many picnics and it was used to safely carry a flask and the other paraphernalia for making baby feeds on outings.

This basket had served us well and even though the rattan had mellowed to a darker shade, its base and sides remain firm and strong.

Soft toys were popular in Jaro and there used to be a wide range of cute and cuddly stuffed toys.

I remember buying a long snake patch-work soft toy to drape over the back seat of my car.

Propped up to display its mouth, wide open with fierce-looking fangs, this snake attracted a lot of attention and surprised friends and colleagues who took a ride in my car.

As I searched through my collection of photos, I came across a picture of me holding a soft toy made by Jaro but I cannot recall where that shot was taken nor have any idea of what happened to the doll. I only remember that I carried the doll everywhere because it was a gift from someone special.

Just as I thought I had exhausted all avenues in my nostalgic quest, I spotted the woven rattan chest, neatly aligned at the foot of my bed.

Buried under a pile of knick-knacks, I had become so familiar with it that I did not realise that this 1.2m by 0.6m Jaro piece had indeed become a treasure chest filled with many precious mementos.

Even as my Jaro products remain beautiful and useful today, I'm excited about the new Jaro and its range of updated and eco-friendly products.

In keeping with the Jaro tradition, their new range of products are also made of materials such as rattan, paper and cotton for a new generation of customers looking for green-living solutions.

It is poised to become a popular destination for everyone who appreciates quality handmade products and I'm sure green consumers will be thrilled by products made from recycled materials or come from sustainable sources.

And yes, they still make fun items like batu seremban game sets but I won't need one just yet because I already have a set of my own which I bought from Jaro a long time ago.
