Flood spoils 30-year vinyl collection Posted: 14 Mar 2011 06:27 PM PDT 2010/11/10 Adie Suri Zulkefli adie@nst.com.my Tengku Nahar Tengku Mansor holds his treasured collection of Michael Jackson Thriller at his flood-ravaged house at Taman Rakyat, Alor Star. NST picture by Ramdzan Masiam 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." Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

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.

History of modern Johor in musical extravaganza Posted: 18 Jul 2011 10:55 AM PDT A scene from 'Bumi Berlantai Permata'. THE history of modern Johor and the Johor sultanate was staged in a musical at Bukit Timbalan in conjunction with the 8th JB Arts Festival in Johor Baru, recently. The cast of Bumi Berlantai Permata (The Bejewelled Land) won the hearts of the audience. About 1,500 attended the musical which ran for five nights. The musical caught the attention of the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, who came to watch the 90-minute production last Saturday, the last day of the performance. The production had better-than-expected audio-visual effects which boost the quality of the musical. Two actors -- Bulat and Kecil -- with the help of an antique camera, brought the audience to the 1860s, an era of turbulence, punctuated by threats of colonisation. The simple language, and synopsis of the play projected on a screen, made it easier for the audience to enjoy the musical. According to history, Sultan Abu Bakar, with the support of Chief Minister Dato Ja'afar, Dato Mohd Salleh Perang in Muar and the Chinese migrants led by Tan Hiok Nee, suppressed the rebels in northern Johor in what is now known the Jementah Civil War in 1879. Later, the sultan, who was a personal friend of Queen Victoria, employed diplomatic strategies to drive Sir Frederick Weld out of the State as he wanted to colonise Johor for its rich natural resources. The role of Dato Ja'afar was pivotal in the musical, as he was in most of the scenes. His character and wisdom were crucial as a leader during the turbulent period of 1862 to 1886. The part of Dato Ja'afar was played by Fairuz Ahmad, whose solid and commanding voice was ideal for the role. His English nanny, was played by Norhafzan Ahmad. She was also consulted on matters of attire and etiquette. Norhafzan's British accent is reminiscent of Julie Andrew's Maria in The Sound of Music. Award-winning artiste Shamsul Akmal Md Iliasa played Tan Hiok Nee. Addressed as Towkay Tan by Dato Ja'afar, Shamsul put on a heavy Teochew slang which injected humour whenever he spoke Malay. It is doubtful whether the audience understood Shamsul's intermittent Teochew phrases during his performance. Directed by Sahruddin Manas, or popularly known in the theatrical circle as Dean Manas, the play was his third instalment for the festival after Si Bongkok Tanjung Puteri and Kasih Teja Di Muara Muar. It was produced by the Johor Society for the Performing Arts in collaboration with Alpha Consult. Scripted by Rahimah Muda and choreographed by Shaque Saini and Khairul Anuar Bahari, the musical had a cast and crew of 70. The 8th JB Arts Festival ends on Sunday.

PASSING-OUT PARADE Posted: 18 Jul 2011 10:54 AM PDT PASSING-OUT PARADE 2011/07/18 By Rizalman Hammim Undergraduates from 14 public universities receive their commissions as junior officers of the Territorial Army IT was a day like no other in the life of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) student Norazlan Abdullah. On July 9, the 25-year-old, whose father is an ex-serviceman, and 1,108 other Reserve Officer Training Unit cadet officers received their commissions as officers in the Territorial Army. The Royal Commissioning Ceremony was officiated by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, at UTHM. Also present at the ceremony were Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibrahim, Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad, Army Chief Gen Datuk Zulkifli Zainal Abidin and chairman of the board of directors of UTHM Tan Sri Jamilus Md Hussin. Norazlan, who was chosen as the best cadet officer from UTHM, said: "In secondary school, I was active in Pasukan Kadet Bersatu Malaysia and when I studied for my diploma at Politeknik Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, I joined the Territorial Army." The final year mechanical and manufacturing engineering student, said he wanted to join the Army. The new officers who came from 14 public universities received their commissions after three years of training. The ceremony started with the passing-out parade by the officers at UTHM. Looking smart in their uniforms, the officers stood at attention as Sultan Ibrahim inspected the parade onboard a special military vehicle. The sultan also presented awards to the top 25 cadet officers. The officers received their commissions in a ceremony at Dewan Tunku Ibrahim Ismail. Norazlan's mother Siti Rahmah Sidek, 57, said the family had always been supportive of his interest in the military "We are proud of what he has achieved. He seems to have inherited the warrior spirit from his father, Abdullah Hasan," she added. The top cadet officer from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Zuraini Mohd Ruslan, 22, said: "While in training, I had to be smart in dividing the time between studying and training. "I also had to sacrifice a lot of my free time to fulfil my commitment to the Reserve Officer Training Unit. "I learned a lot from my training, including self-discipline. "It also prevented me from engaging in unhealthy activities," said the material engineering student. The Reserve Officer Training Unit was established in 1979 to train public university students to become junior officers in the Territorial Army.

Malaysian women 16th most stressed Posted: 18 Jul 2011 12:02 PM PDT Malaysian women 16th most stressed NEW YORK: Malaysian women rank 16th most stressed in the world, according to a recent study on the stress levels which women worldwide are subjected to. Indian women rank as the world's most stressed (87 per cent), says the study, prepared by the information and media company, Nielsen. They are closely followed by Mexican women (74 per cent) and Russian women (69 per cent). In the developed countries, the stress level is the highest for women in Spain (66 per cent), France (65 per cent) and Italy (64 per cent). Malaysian women (44 per cent) rank 16th in the list while women in Thailand (45 per cent) share the 15th spot with South Korea (45 per cent). Japanese women (52 per cent) rank 12th while mainland Chinese women (51 per cent) rank 13th. The study, which researched social behavioural patterns of women in 21 developing and emerging economies, revealed that women all over the world felt stressed out, with those in the so-called emerging countries facing greater stress than their counterparts in the developed countries. According to India's Economic Times, the greater stress levels of women in the newly industrialised countries could be attributed to the fact that in recent years, for example, in India, the corporate sector and the jobs had developed at an extremely fast pace. — Bernama Air your comment on this issue: Malaysian women 16th most stressed Log in with your Facebook account or use the form below to comment.

Najib: We'll ensure independence of judiciary Posted: 18 Jul 2011 12:01 PM PDT Najib: We'll ensure independence of judiciary 2011/07/19 By Eileen Ng news@nst.com.my Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz (left) and Chief Justice Tun Zaki Azmi are shocked when the gavel head comes off during the launch of the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Conference at Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala Lumpur yesterday came off. — NST picture by Ghazali Bujang KUALA LUMPUR: The government is committed to safeguarding and ensuring the continued independence of the judiciary. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said yesterday this was one of the most important things for the nation. "An independent judiciary is one of the most important reasons for our national achievement. It is a central component of our democracy." Najib acknowledged that the nation's judiciary had experienced a fair measure of accolades and controversies since the nation achieved its independence, but stressed that measures were immediately taken to fortify the safeguards of judicial independence. In his speech at the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Conference, read by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, he said Malaysia had introduced judicial reforms that had improved the efficiency of its courts. He said judicial reform was important to ensure the country's continued economic growth, and to protect civil liberties and freedom of its diverse, multi-ethnic and multi-religious population. "Strengthening the judiciary as an institution is a continuously evolving process. In Malaysia, a pluralist society, it is critical that the courts meet the needs of its citizenry, by improving and increasing access to justice. "We have heralded a comprehensive list of reforms that have drastically improved the efficiency of the Malaysian courts." Najib also said the challenge for the government was to craft a vision in which people could live together harmoniously while at the same time being able to maintain, rather than dilute or lose, a strong sense of belonging to their particular culture, ethnic or religious community. "As a nation, we recognise that the state or government plays a crucial role in the management of pluralism through the formulation of policies, fostering an environment conducive to the national vision and creating a framework for national dialogue," he said. Later at a press conference, Nazri took potshots at opposition members of parliament who took to the streets on July 9 to bring up their concerns, saying they should have brought them up in Parliament. "I am surprised that those who attended the rally were MPs, as though they are not allowed to debate on the Election Commission (EC) in the House that they have to resort to demonstrating on the streets. "What's wrong with them? They are elected and they are allowed to speak in Parliament, but I didn't hear them say anything (on this)." He stressed that the government was also committed to free and fair elections. He said he would leave it to the EC to decide whether the commission wanted to include representatives from non-governmental organisations in its decision-making process. "It's up to the EC to make the decision, they are an independent body. If they are okay with it, then we have no problem." On another matter, Nazri reiterated that the cabinet had agreed to make public the report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) which looked into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock. However, he will leave it to the chief secretary to the government to decide when to publish it. Teoh, 30, the former political aide to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009 after giving his statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The RCI was set up after the coroner's inquest into his death ruled out suicide and homicide as the cause. Nazri said the recommendations would be made known to the ministers once it was made public. Present at the conference were Chief Justice Tun Zaki Azmi, Commonwealth Magistrates' and Judges' Association (CMJA) president Justice Norma Wade Miller, CMJA vice-president Sir Philip Bailhache and the legal fraternity from the Commonwealth countries.

Both sides display professionalism Posted: 15 Mar 2011 08:21 AM PDT Both sides display professionalism 2010/10/26 Patrick Sennyah and Aidi Amin news@nst.com.my GUA MUSANG: Leaders from both the Barisan Nasional and Pas demonstrated a high level of professionalism during nominations for the Galas state seat today, ensuring a smooth, fast and clean nomination process. The BN delegation was led by Umno vice-president, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Wanita Umno chief, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Wanita MCA chief, Datuk Ng Yen Yen and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, while the Pas delegation was helmed by its party president, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice-president Azmin Ali and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang. Both delegations arrived separately and though seated in different tents were seen chatting with each other in a very cordial and peaceful manner. At one point, Shahrizat was seen leading a delegation of Wanita Umno members to visit the Opposition tent. There, Shahrizat warmly greeted Hadi Awang, who stood up to greet her, along with Kit Siang and Azmin. Hadi Awang asked Shahrizat how the recently concluded Umno general assembly had progressed and congratulated her on a smooth and successful assembly. "It went well. There were no problems and everyone was happy," said Shahrizat, who also took time to ask Kit Siang about his health. "I'm well ... how about you," asked the DAP stalwart. The group then spent a few minutes chatting and later returned to their respective camps. Overall, there was not a single untoward incident and supporters from both sides demonstrated a high level of professionalism. "We are very happy with how the nominations progressed and hope this same kind of spirit will prevail throughout the campaign period and on polling day also," said Kelantan police chief, Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi. Abdul Rahim has assured both the Barisan Nasional, who will be fielding Abdul Aziz Yusoff, 49, for the seat and Pas' Dr Zulkefli Mohamed,44, that the police will not reject any permits for ceramahs, as long as it is submitted a day earlier. There were more than 500 supporters on each side and police, who had anticipated large crowds had took steps to place the groups 180 metres apart as opposed to only 60 metres as in previous by-elections. There was also very smooth traffic flow, with no major disturbances to the locals who were busy on their way to work. "We did not close any major roads and did our best not to disturb the daily lives of the people here," said Abdul Rahim. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

New faces expected in Sarawak election Posted: 14 Mar 2011 03:12 PM PDT 2010/11/23 By Lian Cheng news@nst.com.my KUCHING: The coming state election may see the most number of new faces within the Sarawak Barisan Nasional in its history. In the past, it has been the practice of BN to maintain the incumbents to ensure political stability - the fewer changes made, the less risk would be at stake. However, since the last state election in 2006, the general public's mentality seems to have shifted to opt for new blood and younger state representatives, especially after the op position made it a point to recruit young professionals with no historical baggage or even political background to stand as their candidates. While BN had little time to react to this change in the last state election, this time around, however, one can expect to see BN putting forth new faces to replace some of the incumbents, especially those who did not secure impressive majorities in the last state elections. Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), for instance, did not wait for the coming election to make known its intention to replace some of the incumbents. As early as November 2008, its president Tan Sri Taib Mahmud replaced three PBB assistant ministers when reshuffling his Cabinet - Datuk Bolhassan Di (Assistant Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communica tion), Datuk Hamden Ahmad (Assistant Minister of Youth as well as Tourism) and Datuk Ambrose Blikau (Assistant Minister of Rural Development as well as Public Utilities). With growing rumours that a state election would take place March 26 (which coincides with Taib's 30th an niversary as Chief Minister) next year, there are predictions that more than a handful of PBB incumbents would be dropped after Taib's declaration of 30 per cent new faces. PBB was allocated 35 out of the 71 state seats in the last elections and 30 per cent new faces would mean 10 new candidates, which was also confirmed by party insiders. Those on top of the list speculated to be dropped are the three dropped assistant minsiters Bolhassan (Beting Maro), Hamden (Belawai) and Blikau (Katibas). Others included Dr Wahbi Junaidi (Saribas; 94-vote ma jority), Simoi Peri (Lingga; 1870-vote majority), Gramong Juna (Machan; 2,289-vote majority), Frederick Bayoi (Kedup; 1981-vote majority) and Wan Wahap (Sadong Jaya, 858-vote majority). Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP), meanwhile, has been going on its rounds to solve issues, reaching out to young voters and recruiting thousands of them. SUPP has also produced dramas to rekindle among the veteran party members their initial love and sacrifice for the party. These efforts were taken note of by the Chinese, but initial grassroots feedback seems to indicate no significant impact as yet on Chinese voters. "Every day, we make it a point to spend time with our voters. We are experiencing a total transformation especially with regards to our candidates," said its president Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam. SUPP plans to put forth at least 30 per cent new faces and no "recycled candidates". These changes are expected in all the areas it had lost ground previously, such as Padungan, Pending, Batu Lintang, Kidurong, Merandong and Bukit Assek. SUPP has 19 allocated constituencies. Only one recycled candidate would be expected, namely Datuk Alfred Yap, contesting in Kota Sentosa which he lost by 531 votes to Sarawak DAP secretary general Chong Chieng Jen. For Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) which has been allocated nine seats, its president Datuk Seri Dr James Masing has stated that there would be at least two new faces, speculated to be at Ngemah and Pelagus. Ngemah was lost to Gabriel Adit, a former BN member who is now Parti Cinta Malaysia Sarawak state chief. Pelagus, a seat of dispute due to Larry Sng's expulsion from the party after challenging Masing's presidency, remains a problem that BN needs to solve before the state elections is called. To Masing, the Pelagus seat is non-negotiable. Sng, who has been a partyless assistant minister over the last three years, would have to be absorbed by other component parties and contest in another constituency besides Pelagus if he wished to stand under the BN banner. Speculation is that he would either stand in Meradong, the birthplace of his tycoon father-in-law Tan Sri Ting Phek Kiing, if he is to be absorbed by SUPP; or Meluan, replacing Wong Judat, should he be accepted by Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP). Holding eight seats, SPDP's president Datuk Seri William has said that he would retain all the incumbents. However, it has been reported that the four state as semblymen within "the disgruntled five" namely Datuk Peter Nansian (Tasik Biru), Rosey Yunus (Bekenu), Sylvester Entri (Marudi) and Paulus Palu Gumbang (Batu Danau) would be replaced with new faces. "The disgruntled five", which also includes Mas Gading Member of Parliament Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe, was given the nickname when they teamed up to call on party president Mawan to resign. They claimed that Mawan, who is also the State Minister of Social Development and Urbanisation, was influenced by an invisible hand when he did not re-appoint Entri as the party secretary-general. The five walked out from a SPDP supreme council meeting when Mawan replaced Entri. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.
