Football: Kim Swee: We will improve Posted: 22 Sep 2011 04:53 PM PDT 2011/09/23 From Devinder Singh devinder@nst.com.my TOSU: Statistics don't lie and the numbers from Malaysia's Olympic qualifier 2-0 loss to Japan on Wednesday painted a damning picture. As anyone who watched the game would agree, Japan dominated from start to finish and the figures will attest to that. Japan peppered the Malaysian goal with 26 shots, half of them saved by skipper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, easily the national Under-22 team's best player of the night. In contrast, Malaysia managed only two attempts, the first of which did not come until the 53rd minute with Abdul Shukur Jusoh's wayward shot before Fandi Othman had a go in the 62nd minute. Malaysia earned their first of two corners in the 81st minute and only had 32 percent of ball possession. Outplayed is putting it kindly but coach Ong Kim Swee, while admitting there is a huge gulf in standard between the two teams, said Malaysia can only improve on the display at the Tosu Stadium. "Japan are at a different level from us," said Kim Swee after watching his side beaten for the first time in the qualifying campaign for the 2012 London Olympics. "From this match, we saw how fast Japan were able to move and we were too slow at getting the ball. Japan closed us down easily in the middle and we were not able to go forward. "We need to learn the lessons from this game to apply to our remaining five matches. The good thing is that we play our next two matches at home and we have to use home-ground advantage to get back on track." Syria, who defeated Bahrain 3-1 in the other Group A match in Zarqa, Jordan on Wednesday, are Malaysia's next opponents on Nov 23 followed by Bahrain four days later. Both of Japan's goals resulted from Malaysia giving the Japanese too much space and the score line could easily have reached double figures had it not been for the excellent Khairul Fahmi. "He played very well and kept the score down for us," said Kim Swee of the goalkeeper. "It is not just about saving shots but also his ability in organising the defence and motivating the players." The state and club-based players will be released for the Malaysia Cup after returning home yesterday and those not involved in the Malaysia Cup will regroup in October for an Under-23 invitational tournament in Vietnam in preparation for the Sea Games the following month.

Badminton: Triple cheer in Tokyo Posted: 22 Sep 2011 04:50 PM PDT 2011/09/23 By K.M. Boopathy boopathy@nst.com.my LEE Chong Wei remained rock solid in his hunt for a third Japan Open crown while men's doubles Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah made it a perfect campaign so far for Malaysia when they advanced to the quarter-finals in Tokyo yesterday. Chong Wei faced strong resistance from China's rising star Wang Zhengming in the first game but the World No 1 stamped his class to register a 21-19, 21-14 win in 34 minutes. It should be another stroll in the last eight as Chong Wei will meet local hope Kenichi Tago, who defeated Chou Tien Chen of Taiwan 21-17, 21-11, today. Kien Keat-Boon Heong secured their place in the last eight but not without a fight from Japan's Yoshiteru Hirobe-Kenta Kazuno. The Malaysians hung on to win 17-21, 21-11, 21-18 in 46 minutes. V Shem-Khim Wah were impressive in their 19-21, 21-19, 21-19 win over China No 2 Chai Biao-Guo Zhendong in 57 minutes to set up a quarter-final clash against Kien Keat-Boon Heong. National doubles chief coach Tan Kim Her said he was not surprised by Kien Keat-Boon Heong's win but it was a timely breakthrough for V Shem-Khim Wah. "It is good to see both pairs doing well, especially V Shem-Khim Wah who have not been consistent in the bigger events. "This is their first quarter-final appearance in a Super Series event and I hope they can continue producing better results in future tournaments," said Kim Her. "Kien Keat-Boon Heong will have the advantage but it doesn't matter who wins as we will have Malaysian semi-finalists in Japan. "The fact that we didn't send a doubles coach to the Japan Open adds value to V Shem-Khim Wah's performance as our younger players rely too much on the presence of a coach." Meanwhile, China's Olympic champion Lin Dan and Chen Jin struggled in their second round matches before setting up a quarter-final encounter yesterday. Lin Dan of China slogged for a 21-19, 11-21, 21-18 win over Hong Kong's Hu Yun while Chen Jin overcame P. Kashyap of India 21-15, 6-21, 21-18. RESULTS 2nd rd (selected) — Men's Singles: Lee Chong Wei (Mas) bt Wang Zhengming (Chn) 21-19, 21-14; Lin Dan (Chn) bt Hu Yun (HK) 21-19, 11-21, 21-18; Chen Jin (Chn) bt P Kashyap (Ind) 21-15, 6-21, 21-18; Peter Gade Christensen (Den) bt Shon Wan Ho (Kor) 21-17, 21-17; Chen Long (Chn) bt Takuma Ueda (Jpn) 21-15, 15-21, 21-19.

ROYAL FRAGRANCE Posted: 21 Sep 2011 09:57 AM PDT 2011/09/22 By Jassmine Shadiqe Being the first is not new to Johoreans and its monarchy but the latest achievement is even sweeter CREATING history by being the first is not something new to Johor, Johoreans and its monarchy. Among its firsts include being the first state to adopt the constitutional monarchy system in the country after the late Sultan Abu Bakar enforced the Johor State Constitution on April 14, 1895. Johor was chosen as Asia's first Legoland theme park and is scheduled to be opened by end of this year. The Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar got his name into the Malaysia Book of Records as the first ruler to obtain a locomotive driving licence after he turned around a locomotive weighing 86 tonnes on a railway turntable to earn a Class 26 licence. His son, Tunku Mahkota Tunku Ismail, was the first Malaysian royalty to join the Indian armed forces. The latest first was something more "fragrant". Recently, the Johor monarchy made history again -- this time for being Malaysia's first Sultan to have perfumes specially formulated and named after him. The perfumes, Sultan Ibrahim Satu (SI 1) and Sultan Ibrahim Dua (SI 2), came about after a visit by Sultan Ibrahim to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's (UTM) Institute of Bio-product Development (IBD) early this year. As Sultan Ibrahim was briefed on the facilities and equipment, including the capabilities and skills of the researchers, he posed a challenge to IBD's director Professor Ramlan Abdul Aziz and his team of researchers to formulate a perfume that would suit him best. Choosing a perfume for oneself is already quite a task, formulating one for a man who known for his no-nonsense ways, who speaks his mind and is known for his creativeness and innovative ideas, was definitely a challenge. However, the task was made easier when Sultan Ibrahim suggested using aloeswood as the base. He wanted something masculine yet modern. Aloeswood is known by several names, including agarwood or oud. It is a dark resinous wood from the Aquilaria tree, an evergreen tree native to northern India, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. It's scientific name is Aquilara malaccensis lam or Aquilaria agallocha. The Aquilaria tree grows up to 40m high and 60cm in diameter. It bears sweet scented, white flowers. The trees, when infected with a parasite fungus or mold known as Phialophora parasitica, will produce an aromatic resin, in response to the attack. The resin is highly sought after around the world. The resin is commonly called jinko, aloeswood, agarwood, oud or gaharu. The fungus and decomposition process generates a rich and dark resin in the heartwood. The resin is the product of a natural immune response and is difficult to obtain. This makes it rare and expensive. The odour of agarwood is complex and pleasing. Its essential oil gained cultural and religious significance in ancient civilizations around the world. It was also mentioned in the world's oldest written texts -- the Sanskrit Vedas from India. The team took about five months to formulate the ideal scent for Sultan Ibrahim's personality. IBD's research officer Nor Hayati Mohamed Noor, 30, who formulated the scents, came up with 10 scents using the highest quality ingredients such as gaharu, sandal wood, saffron, amber and fragrant oils such as minyak kijang and kasturi. Sultan Ibrahim picked two which he liked best. Nor Hayati said SI 1, for day wear, was sweet and fruity, while SI 2, which had a stronger scent, was suitable for night use. Nor Hayati, who graduated from UTM's Chemical Engineering Faculty, said SI 2 had a natural calming effect The perfumes were presented in exquisite 15ml bottles. The bottles were decorated with intricate designs crafted in silver and copper. The perfumes are priced at RM790 per bottle and are available at UTM's front office at Sultan Ismail International Airport in Senai. There are plans to sell the perfumes at more outlets. Sultan Ibrahim graced the launch of the perfumes on Sept 13, at ceremony held at UTM's Iskandar Hall. Also present were Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, UTM Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Zaini Ujang, Johor Council of Royal Court secretary Datuk Abdul Rahim Ramli, UTM pro Chancellors Datuk Dr Muhammad Ridzuan Salleh and Tan Sri Dr Salleh Mohd Nor.

Specialist cops for the traumatised Posted: 21 Sep 2011 10:39 AM PDT 2011/09/21 By Fadhal A. Ghani fadhal@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: Victims of crimes who are traumatised by their experiences can now get specialist treatment from the police. Understanding the need for traumatised victims of crime to be treated with a different approach, the force yesterday will now triage victims traumatised by crimes such as kidnapping, rape and other sex offences, child abuse and even road accidents. A triage room is equipped with computers connected to the police database for lodging a report and three seats for an investigation officer and two victims. The room also has a sofa to make the victims more comfortable while talking to the investigation officer. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri ismail Omar, who launched the the Travers police station triage room, said the room had a different environment compared with normal police stations. "(It) is more conducive and cooler. The room is specially designed to ease emotional tension." The victims will be handled by police officers who have been trained to deal with trauma victims. Ismail said this was another effort by police to improve its service to the people. It was also another National Key Result Area initiative in the war against crime and negative perception toward the force. He said the Travers police station was the first station to have the rooms, adding that another 34 stations in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Johor were also equipped with triage rooms. The rooms were set up at a cost of RM1.8 million. Plans have been drawn up for all stations in the country to have such rooms. Ismail said each triage room cost between RM50,000 and RM60,000, depending on the infrastructure and how new the police station was. On another issue, Ismail said he expected it would take several months before the Internal Security Act could be repealed and other laws reviewed. He said the police would hold forums to figure out what laws could replace the ISA. "One thing for sure, the new law will assure the safety and stability of the people, which is a priority." Ismail said the police was also looking at getting feedback on future laws on public assembly from non-governmental organisations and the public.

Fiery re-entry this weekend Posted: 21 Sep 2011 10:34 AM PDT 2011/09/22 By Alang Bendahara alang@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: A dead American satellite the size of a bus is expected to fall back to earth this weekend and Malaysia is among the countries within its impact zone. But the satellite is expected to break up into smaller pieces upon re-entry and the risk to public safety or property from the falling debris is said to be extremely small. Nevertheless, Malaysia's National Space Agency (Angkasa) is monitoring updates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) of the United States. The satellite is Nasa's decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), and so far, the US space agency could not put the exact time and place where the 6,000kg object would fall. Nasa's latest update showed the expected re-entry date as tomorrow, US time, plus or minus a day. This puts the expected date for Malaysia between tomorrow and Sunday. Angkasa's spokesman said their team, based at the National Observatory at the Bukit Malut Dam in Langkawi, Kedah, is monitoring the satellite. "Although it is difficult to use the facility's telescope to track the satellite, we will still try," he said yesterday. "Our team is also monitoring Nasa's website round-the-clock for the latest updates on the expected time and location of the re-entry." Angkasa, unlike Nasa, does not have the equipment or expertise to monitor space debris or near-earth objects. The spokesman said members of the public could also monitor the updates through the Nasa website at www.nasa.gov/uars. He said there was no need for people to worry as the satellite would break up into pieces and the odds of being struck was estimated at 1 in 3,200. He said the 20-year-old research satellite was expected to break up into more than 100 pieces as it reentered the atmosphere, most of them burning up. Twenty-six of its heaviest metal parts are expected to reach Earth, the biggest chunk weighing 136kg. The debris could be scattered over an area of about 800km. The UARS' trajectory takes it between 57 degrees north latitude and 57 degrees south latitude, which is also its crash zone. The zone covers everything from Canada down to the tip of South America, and from Siberia down to the tip of Africa and Australia. The UARS was launched on Sept 12, 1991, aboard space shuttle mission STS-48 and it was deployed on Sept 15, 1991. It was the first multiinstrumented satellite to observe numerous chemical components of the atmosphere for better understanding of photochemistry. UARS ceased its productive scientific life in 2005. US media advised its citizens not to pick up any debris that they suspect came from the satellite. The space agency says there are no toxic chemicals present, but there can be sharp edges. Also, it's government property. It's against the law to keep it as a souvenir or sell it on eBay. Nasa's advice is to report any findings to the police. US media reports said that UARS was getting advance publicity because it was the biggest Nasa satellite to make an uncontrolled re-entry in about three decades.

<b>2 - 0</b> Posted: 14 Mar 2011 10:28 AM PDT 2010/11/04 Joniston Bangkuai, Patrick Sennyah and Sajahan Waheed news@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: Substantive swings produced two key by-election victories for the Barisan Nasional tonight. BN has now won three of the four of by-elections this year, losing Sibu by 398 votes. In Kelantan, BN wrested the Galas State seat from Pas by a majority of 1,190 - improving its near-victory in the July 2009 Manik Urai by-election when the coalition lost by 65 votes. BN shall now look to repeat the kind of performance it produced in the 2004 general election when it won 21 state seats in Kelantan. As for now, Galas brings its state seats to 7 in a 45-seat Legislative Assembly. The Galas by-election was called following the death of Pas' Che Hashim Sulaima, 46, on Sept 27 from colon cancer. Che Sulaima had defeated BN's Mohd Saufi Deraman by a 646 vote-majority in the March 2008 general election. In the 2004 general election, Che Hashim had lost to Mohamad Saufi, by 1,729 votes. Significantly for Kelantan politics, the Galas battle had been billed as contest between BN's Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, the Kelantan Menteri Besar and Pas spiritual leader. Analysts had said that a Pas defeat would be seen as a sign of Nik Aziz losing grip. He is 79 and had been Menteri Besar since 1990. "The face to face interaction adopted by BN has worked..this is a indicator of how BN can change," Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian of Universiti Sains Malaysia told the New Straits Times tonight. Pas had during the campaigning mocked Abdul Aziz Yusoff, the BN candidate for his lack of qualification. Dr Zulkefli Mohamed of Pas now has to his name three unsuccessful attempts to win seats in the Gua Musang area. The results of the nation's 12th by election since March 2008 were announced by returning officer Wan Mustapa Abdul Hamid at the Gua Musang Civic Centre here tonight. Many of Chinese voters in Galas had returned to BN, according to preliminary analysis of the results. Pas lost in Kampung Baru, which is a Chinese majority area by 41 votes. It garnered more than 200 over votes there in the general election. The BN election machinery which was led by Tengku Razaleigh, the Gua Musang MP, had adopted a new campaign strategy this time where they focused on a more personal approach as opposed to big scale ceramah and large entourages. Election Commission deputy chairman, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said voter turnout was 82.71 per cent or 9,555 of the total 11,553 voters in the constituency, compared to a 80.57 per cent turnout in 2008. In Batu Sapi, the choice of a woman as a candidate and the joint-leadership of Datuk Seri Musa Aman and Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan of Parti Bersatu Sabah had contributed to the increase of majority from 3,708 (2008 general election) to 6,359, analysts said. "My husband is watching me now and I think he is proud of me," said the BN candidate, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin. Tsen's husband Datuk Edmund Chong was the late parliamentarian of Batu Sapi. His death on Oct 9 had led to the by-election.

UiTM student posts highest score in accounting course Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:55 PM PST 2010/12/23 By Hanif Miswan SHAH ALAM: Few Malaysians can stake claim to being the best in the world, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) student Khalid Kamarulzaman is one of them. He was acclaimed the 'World's Best CAT Graduate' in the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) programme. The results were announced in October. The 19-year-old Faculty of Accountancy student scored the highest aggregate of 474 marks or an average of almost 95 per cent, for five advanced CAT papers. CAT is an international qualification offered by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the global body for professional accountants headquartered in the United Kingdom. The qualification provides the graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills in Finance and Accounting to perform an accounting-support role. It is also designed to fast-track students towards a full-fledged career in accountancy. Khalid achieved a perfect score in Drafting Financial Statements (T6) and came close in Managing People and Systems (T5) with 98 per cent. His marks in these two papers were the highest in the world. He also posted 97 per cent for Planning - Control and Performance Management (T7), 90 per cent for Preparing Taxation Computations (T9) and 89 per cent for Managing Finances (T10). "It was important for me to shine in this programme as it has placed me on the right path to achieving my dreams so I can help my less fortunate family," said Khalid in an interview with Varsity Voice on Nov 21. Although he expected to pass the CAT exams with flying colours, the outstanding results were "...a dream come true, and a tribute to my love for mathematics and numbers". The third son in a family of nine siblings from Hulu Langat, Selangor, Khalid has now set his sights on completing another 11 courses in the ACCA programme to become a chartered certified accountant. "CAT is only the first step. I intend to do just as well in the ACCA examination before gaining work experience and eventually opening up my own accountancy practice." "For now, I must be careful not to get too carried away as there is still a lot to learn and a long way to go before I can fulfill my aspirations," he added. The CAT programme was first offered by the faculty in 2002 to SPM graduates who had at least five credits, inclusive of Mathematics, Malay and English. Khalid was recognised as a top student during the Faculty's Excellence Day on Oct 6, during which he received an award from UiTM's Vice Chancellor Datuk Professor Dr Sahol Hamid Abu Bakar. (Ed: This article first appeared in Varsity Voice, a monthly publication jointly produced by the New Straits Times and Universiti Teknoogi MARA (UiTM) under the newspaper's Journalism on Campus project.)

Paula's world record beaten by rules Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:24 PM PDT LONDON: Paula Radcliffe's marathon record time will no longer be classed as a world record for the distance after the sport's governing body, the IAAF, changed the criteria. The changes, made at the recent World Championships in South Korea, specify that only times achieved in all-women competitions will be acknowledged for world record purposes with performances in mixed conditions now being referred to only as "world best". This means that Paula's 2003 mark of two hours 15 minutes and 25 seconds in the London marathon is no longer the world record, as she ran it in a mixed-race after following male pacemakers. The 37-year-old's London marathon time of 2:17:42 from 2005 is now classed as the world record. The World Marathon Majors (WMM) and the Association of International Marathons (AIMS) have issued a statement describing the changes as "unfair". "There should be two world records for women's road-running performances, separately recognising those achieved in mixed competition and women's-only conditions," the statement said. "AIMS and WMM will continue to acknowledge both types of performances as world records and will discuss this matter further with the IAAF. "The vast majority of women's road races throughout the world are held in mixed conditions. "The current situation where the fastest time is not now recognised as a record is confusing and unfair and does not respect the history of our sport." AIMS represents more than 300 races worldwide, the vast majority of them road races. Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York are WMM members. -- AFP

Lille escape with draw Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:24 PM PDT PARIS: French champions Lille missed the chance to go level on points with Ligue 1 leaders Lyon on Tuesday as they drew 1-1 away with out of form Bordeaux. It could have been worse for Lille -- who drew for the third successive match -- as Bordeaux' Chieck Diabate missed a penalty 12 minutes from time. Lille -- who had let leads slip against both Sochaux in the league and CSKA Moscow in last week's opening Champions League group game -- had gone behind to a Diabate penalty in the third minute only for their Belgian star Eden Hazard to level in the 57th minute with a fine goal. Lille lie fourth two points adrift of Lyon, who played away at Caen yesterday while Bordeaux have only one win in their seven matches so far and are just three points above the relegation places. The hosts had taken an early lead through Diabate's well-executed penalty after referee Tony Chapron adjudged Florent Balmont to have knocked over Diabate. Lille pressed the hosts throughout the half but Bordeaux keeper Kevin Olimpa came to their rescue, especially in the 37th minute when he saved from veteran Czech defender David Rozehnal and then again from Moussa Sow who followed up the rebound. Hazard struck shortly before the hour mark finishing off a neat move which began just inside the Bordeaux half and which saw English midfielder Joe Cole deliver him the decisive pass. The Belgian star still had work to do when he got the ball on the left side of the penalty box but he made light work of two Bordeaux defenders and placed his right-footed effort perfectly into the far corner. -- AFP
