Steel pipes can check rising sea levels: professor Posted: 24 May 2011 11:35 PM PDT THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: An Indian professor has claimed that the threat of rising sea levels due to global warming can be averted by floating stainless steel pipes in the sea, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI). Vedagiri Ganesan, who retired from Bharathiar University, recently submitted a proposal to the National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR), Goa, detailing the role of stainless steel as a solution to tackle sea level rise, a global environment threat. According to Ganesan, high temperature level of the sea surface is a major cause of melting of ice in the Polar region. The heat from the sea water will not get transferred to the air due to the surface tension which, in turn, will not allow the low-temperature at the atmosphere of Polar regions to cool sea water. The high temperature, naturally, cause to the melting of ice and to the rise of sea levels, he detailed. Meanwhile, the proposal titled "Reversal of Polar ice melt, sea level rise, coastal submergence, CO2 release and global warming," claims that the steel floats will function as an effective Thermal Conduction Facilitation Interface System (TCFIS) and facilitate heat transfered to the air. The professor also predicted that the 35,000 glaciers in the Himalayas would melt in five years and it would cause flood in major coastal areas in the country including the port cities like Mumbai and Kochi. -- Bernama Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Najib, Rosmah bring cheer to kids in hospital Posted: 24 May 2011 12:07 PM PDT Najib, Rosmah bring cheer to kids in hospital KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's brought smiles to the landslide victims recuperating at Ampang Hospital yesterday. They were touched that Najib and Rosmah and a delegation of VIPs took the trouble to lift their spirits up after their tragic loss of friends and relatives. M. Alaudeen Safree, was especially elated and opened up when Rosmah began a conversation with him. Alaudeen, 14, was one of the nine survivors of the landslide tragedy which killed 16 others at the Hidayah Madrasah Al-Taqwa orphanage in Kampung Sungai Gahal, Hulu Langat last Saturday. Alaudeen told reporters he missed his brother and friends but would pray for them, adding that he wanted to continue going to the "madrasah (religious classes)" to learn more about the Quran. Alaudeen lost his brother, 10-year-old Mohd Hazim, in the tragedy. Meanwhile, 13-year-old Mohd Aizat Khusairi Abdul Halim was smiling broadly when he got Najib and Rosmah to sign the cast on his arm. "I will frame this," Aizat told Rosmah, adding that he wanted to be a soldier when he grew up. During the hour-long visit, the victims shared their stories with the prime minister and his wife. Twins Mohd Shafiq and Siti Fatima Ibrahim were deeply affected by the tragedy. Siti Fatima had witnessed tonnes of earth and boulders crashing down onto the orphanage. She burst into tears when she saw a picture of the boys, decked in long robes and white head gear, taken during their nasyid rehearsal posted on Facebook. Shafiq, wearing a neck brace and in a wheelchair, spoke softly to Dusun Tua state assemblyman Ismail Sani and asked if the orphanage would be rebuilt so that they would have a place to return to after they got better. Others present were Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and his deputy, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar and Ampang Hospital director Datin Dr Aishah Ahmad Makinuddin. Rosmah, who is also Bakti and Kasih president, gave RM1,000 and a hamper to each victim. Later, Liow told reporters that some of the victims were expected to be discharged after a week. "We have three in the Intensive Care Unit and one of them (Mohd Izzudin Abdullah @ Ibrahim) is still in critical condition." The other two are Zulkhairi Aminuddin, 12, and Md Izwan Zakaria, 32. Another victim, 9-year-old Khairul Anuar Nazri, has been transferred to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital. The other survivors are Mohd Harris Izuddin Syahrul Azmi, 11, at the Ampang Hospital and Mohd Akmal Mohd Jefry at the KPJ Kajang Hospital.

Subsidy review necessary Posted: 24 May 2011 11:46 AM PDT We don't want people to suffer later, says DPM PAGOH: Although the move to review subsidies will not go down well with the people, a responsible government is obliged to do it, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The deputy prime minister said as a reliable government, it must manage development and the economy well to ensure the people did not need to shoulder a worse burden in future. "Anything that involves cost increases to the people will make the government unpopular. Although we want to be popular, we also have to discharge our responsibility to the people." He was speaking after a meet-thepeople session at Kampung Sawah Tulang Gajah here. He also received application forms to join Umno from the Orang Asli villagers of Kampung Sentosa. Muhyiddin, who is also Umno deputy president, said good economic and financial management would ensure the country did not follow in the footsteps of several countries in Europe, like Greece and Portugal, which needed bailouts after facing economic crises. Muhyiddin said if the nation's economy faced a downturn because of poor financial management, it would have an adverse impact on the people. He said the government wanted the see the nation's fiscal deficit, which stood at 5.4 per cent of gross domestic product now, reduced through subsidy rationalisation. "The government wants the fiscal deficit to be reduced because if it continues to rise, we fear Malaysia's economic rating will drop and cause investors to shy away. This will result in opportunities lost in terms of new jobs, affecting people." Muhyiddin, however, said the government would "not withdraw subsidies entirely". It would continue its subsidy programme but ensure only the right people benefited, like those in the lowerincome group, the disabled and the poor. He said the current system was unique to Malaysia and not practised in other countries. "However, the system is not sustainable in the long run, especially now when the prices of items like oil are increasing. For example, we will have to spend as much as RM21 billion this year on oil subsidies." At present, the government is providing subsidies for essential items like fuel, cooking gas, electricity, sugar and flour. Muhyiddin also said the opposition should come up with constructive proposals to help deal with increasing prices of goods, instead of protesting any price rise or subsidy reduction. "Their protests do not help the country. In the current economic situation, the government has to come up with measures and strategies for the best financial management as we want to reduce our deficit. "If the opposition leaders are that clever, they should help the government by coming up with ways to tackle this issue." Earlier, Muhyiddin spent more than an hour with the Chinese community at Taman Sri Pagoh and attended a meeting with Umno divisional leaders.

Help for squartters in new developments Posted: 23 May 2011 09:26 AM PDT 2011/05/24 by Ahmad Fairuz Othman LIKE many metropolitan cities, Johor Baru is not spared of issues pertaining to squatter s e t t l e m e n t s. There are scores of squatter settlement areas in the state capital that have been earmarked for development to make way for new housing, commercial or road projects. These areas are now being redeveloped in stages and this has resulted in ongoing construction and re-alignment of traffic. At least five squatter villages in eastern Johor Baru — Kampung Desa Melayu, Kampung Desa Jaya, Kampung Desa Makmur, Kampung Tengah and Kampung Belantik — are earmarked for relocation purposes to make way for the RM1 billion Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL). On the western edge of Johor Baru, the situation is slightly different as squatters of Kampung Skudai Kiri and Kampung Usaha Jaya will be relocated for massive commercial projects under Iskandar Malaysia. The 8.1km EDL, to be completed in 2012, will connect the North-South Expressway interchange at Pandan to the new Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine building at the Causeway. EDL project owner, MRCB Lingkaran Selatan Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd, said last year a quarter of the 424 squatter families from the five villages have agreed to move. Those who have agreed to move would be compensated with low-cost flats at subsidised rates and relocation allowances. Hundreds of squatter families have gone through the relocation exercise. Johor Baru member of parliament Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad, whose constituency covers the five affected villages, said that the government has a comprehensive plan to relocate the squatters. The important thing was to identify long-time residents of these squatter villages, as they are given top priority when it comes to compensation. Shahrir added that any squatters who were left out in the relocation exercise should approach his service centre. As it is, there are some squatter dwellers who have claimed to be in the dark over any relocation plans. But those in the know would be fully aware of the compensation scheme. Shahrir said there are various categories of squatters who are entitled to the new housing scheme. The first category is for original owners who still live in the affected area. The second category is for second-generation owners who are children of original dwellers, while the third category is for tenants. An original dweller of a squatter unit is entitled to a flat measuring 79sq m costing RM35,000, while the two remaining categories will be offered a 70sq-metre unit which costs RM50,000. Shahrir said that priority is given to those who are involved in the community. This means they have to be living in the area for many years, and making a living. Housewife, Suriana Saaban, 28, of the Kampung Skudai Kiri squatter settlement said the authorities should brief residents on their development plans. "We are all for development but the authorities need to seek our opinions when it comes to developing this area. We have rights too," she said. Suriana has been living in the village all her life as her father, Saaban Abu Bakar, is an original dweller. Saaban, who works as a fisherman, said he hoped to live in the village for the rest of his life but can't do so because of the upcoming proj e c t s. "As a fisherman, I worry that I wo n 't be able to go to sea once I relocate inland. I hope the government would consider this at least," said Saaban. It is learned that squatters in Kampung Skudai Kiri are to be resettled at public housing flats located about 15km to 20km from their present area. The resettlement programme will be undertaken by UDA Holdings Bhd and the Johor government, and both parties have engaged the affected residents from time to time to explain about the development p l a n s. Sur iana's and Saaban's worries are issues that need to be noted, despite the authorities' push for deve l o p m e n t . It may seem trivial when compared to the mammoth benefits that come with all the development projects, but physical development at the end of the day needs to go hand-in-hand with development of the people.

LEARNING FROM KIDS Posted: 23 May 2011 09:20 AM PDT LEARNING FROM KIDS 2011/05/23 By Jassmine Shadiqe Lions Club members count their blessings after a visit to children's home IT was an eye-opening experience for 35 Sunway College Johor Baru's Leo Club members who visited the Care Haven Children Home in Masai recently. Leo Club is part of the Lions Club International, and Leo is the abbreviation of Leadership, Experience and Opportunity -- values that are being imparted to the Leo members, currently numbering more than 144,000 in 139 countries, who are serving in their local communities. These community leaders are friendly, active and dedicated to promoting youth voluntarism by participating in their local Leo clubs that have become a place for them to grow and have fun. The club's president Ken Lim, 20, who is pursuing a diploma in business studies with the college, said it was the club's first charity event for this year and the members wanted to do their part for those underprivileged. "We did not have much money, so we decided collectively to do something meaningful that would leave an impact, thus we decided to show the children of the home a good time with games, performances and gifts," he said. It took the club members a month to plan the event and with the RM150 they had, they brought chocolates and stationery items that were given to the children. That Saturday, the club members spent three hours with the children. Among the activities were games like Balloon Mania, Guess, Guess, Guess and Musical Chairs. In Balloon Mania, the students and children blew balloons and tied it to the ankles of the children who were divided into pairs. The last standing pair received chocolates and sweets for their effort. The club members also performed an original sketch titled "The Witch that Haunts the Disobedient". Lim said they wanted to playfully scare the children into believing that if they did not study hard and went to bed late, the witch would come after them. "However, the children were not fooled and only laughed at our attempt," he said. Lim and the club's vice-secretary Jack Toh, also 20, said the children's laughter and how they mingled left a lasting impact on the students. "Most of us have never experienced the loss of a family member, but these children who have lost their loved ones nevertheless still managed to stay lively and cheerful," he said. "They do not complain and strive to work hard, while we who are more privileged complain over the slightest issue that crop up in our lives, like not having the latest handphones." Toh echoed Lim's sentiments. He said: "Initially, we thought we were doing something good for the children, but in the end, we realised that by helping them, they were also helping us to be better people. The more than 85 children from Care Haven Children Home seemed to enjoy every minute with the students. Although shy initially, they slowly warmed up to the students whom they addressed as ko-ko (big brother) or che-che (big sister). The welfare home was established in 2003, and provides care and full-lodging services for orphaned children. The Leo club members went to the home with the hope of making the children feel wanted and also to bring cheer to them but went back to their respective homes knowing that life has so much to give. "The joy we experienced with the children left us feeling fulfilled." College principal Hor Poh Choo said she was proud of her students' sincerity in serving the community needs. Hor has always encouraged college students to participate in activities organised by the various clubs and societies that help to build character. "It is important that students do well academically but it is equally important that they participate in extracurricular activities to enhance their soft skills," she said.

Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said today the date of the additional public holiday would be subject to the setting of the Aidilfitri dates by the Conference of Rulers. If the first day of Aidilfitri fell on Tuesday Aug 30 and the second day coincided with National Day on Wednesday Aug 31, then Thursday Sept 1 would be declared as the additional public holiday, he said in a statement. If the first day of Aidilfitri fell on Wednesday Aug 31 and coincided with National Day and the second day fell on Thursday Sept 1, then Friday Sept 2 would be declared as the additional public holiday, he added. Mohd Sidek said the additional public holiday for peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territory of Labuan was gazetted under section 8 of the Holidays Act 1951. "The state governments of Sabah and Sarawak are in the process of gazetting the additional public holiday under section 9 of the Holidays Ordinance of Sabah and section 5 of the Public Holidays Ordinance of Sarawak, respectively," he said. Mohd Sidek said it was hoped that the announcement would avoid confusion among the people over those public holidays and facilitate early preparations to celebrate Aidilfitri and National Day. - Bernama Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

PWD: Rain weakened soil, causing landslide Posted: 23 May 2011 10:46 AM PDT Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah visiting one of the landslide survivors at the Ampang Hospital yesterday. — NST picture by Zulfadhli Zulkifli KUALA LUMPUR: Unusually heavy rain over three days had weakened the soil structure resulting in the landslide which hit the Hidayah Madrasah Al-Taqwa orphanage in Hulu Langat, claiming 16 lives on Saturday. This was the assessment of the Public Works Department's Hillslope Engineering senior director Datuk Ashaari Mohamad. He said there were 29mm of rainfall in the area on Thursday, 41mm on Friday and 80mm on Saturday. "The amount of rainfall on Saturday was extraordinary because the normal level in the area is around 20mm. With such a downpour, a lot of water seeped into the soil causing the structure to be weakened." He said this when briefing the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, on the landslide. The sultan handed over contributions from the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MUIS), Selangor Zakat Board (SZB) and the state government for the victims and their families. Ashaari said on inspecting the area, they found water channels on the hillslope in the direction of the landslide site. He said the cutting of trees in the area had also contributed to the problem. "There is still some soil movements here and rainfall can cause another landslide, so we have categorised this area as unsafe." He said based on information received, the orphanage was only about seven metres away from the hillslope, which was between 25 and 30 metres high. "About 3,500 cubic metres, or 600 lorry-loads, of soil had hit the orphanage, leaving a mound of loose soil of about four metres high and 54 metres wide." Ashaari said the hillslope near the orphanage had also been cut, causing further soil instability. "We want to closely examine the soil condition in the area and see how we can improve the soil structure. "We have asked the local authority to monitor the housing areas around here as they are exposed to the same risk," he added. From the RM217,000 contributed by MUIS and SZB, each family, or beneficiary of the victims, received RM5,000, while the survivors received RM1,000 each and the orphanage RM100,000. The Selangor government also gave RM5,000 to each beneficiary. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Bowling: Performance will earn Syafiq ticket Posted: 23 May 2011 05:05 PM PDT 2011/05/24 Ajitpal Singh ajitpalsingh@nst.com.my Former national champion Syafiq Ridhwan. SYAFIQ Ridhwan will need a good result in the Canon Malaysian Open to earn a ticket to play in the current World Tour season. The former national champion is 12th on the tour's rankings after an impressive show in the Brunswick Euro Challenge two months ago, where he finished third. The Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress (MTBC) is keen on sending him for the next two tour stops in Bangkok (Sept) and Australia (Oct). Secretary Sidney Tung said MTBC will need to request for funding from the National Sports Council (NSC) to send Syafiq for both events. "But we can only do that if Syafiq performs in the Malaysian Open. "We did not request for funding to play in the tour as it was only officially announced after we had submitted our programme to NSC," said Tung. Syafiq is targeting to, at least, qualify for the Malaysian Open stepladder finals. Asian Games gold medallists Alex Liew leads the men's qualifying competition with a six-game total of 1,504 pinfalls, 70 pins ahead of former national back-up bowler Kang Bo Long while two-time champion Zulmazran Zulkifi is third on 1,421. In the women's section, Zatil Iman Abdul Ghani set the early pace with a 1,487 total followed by second-placed Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi (1,349) and Sin Li Jane (1,339).
