Kamunting Detention Centre

A group gathered in front of the Kamunting detention centre at 5.45pm yesterday pressing for the release of all ISA detainees. It lasted till night falls. MCA: Beef up Taiping police. Ref: Thestar on 29th April 2008(Nation, page N24). Policemen were seen doing their job catching 'Mat Rempits'. However the numbers of 'Mat Rempits' are growing stronger and stronger. Few of the 'Mat Rempits' were wondering around 'Giant', 'Tesco' and some can be spotted passing through the overhead bridge from Taiping town to Kamunting during broad daylight. Imagine what will happen when one the 'Mat Rempits' involved an accident with a road user and just Hit and Run?

Lousy RTM 1

Somethings really never change. Its been 62 years and still going on and on and on without any different. Even F1 is shown late at night. Why can't show it live? 8TV used to broadcast LIVE! Buck up RTM! By the way, today GP in Spain is LIVE at 8pm only on Astro and http://www.f1-live.com/f1/ .

Time to stockpile food including rice

Stockpiling groceries isn't just a precaution. It also makes good financial sense. Reality: Food prices are already rising here much faster than the returns you are likely to get from keeping your money in a bank or money-market fund. And there are very good reasons to believe prices on the shelves are about to start rising a lot faster. The price of rice is going to increase again next week. It global phenomenon.

Pictures that can create hysterical among students

A SECONDARY school in Bukit Gantang in Taiping ended its session earlier on Thursday when 12 female students and a male student went hysterical. The school released its students by noon following the 10am incident during which some of the affected female students kicked wooden tables and chairs in class and shouted at the top of their voice.
Bukit Gantang MP Roslan Shaharom, who was at the scene to console the affected students and their parents, said several bomohs (shaman) were called in by teachers to control the situation.
“Initially two or three of the students went hysterical but subsequently others were affected too,” he said.
Student affairs teacher Meor Alim Shah said none of the affected students were sent to the hospital as all of them appeared to have recovered by about noon.
One of the parents who turned up at the school, Mat Abas Nordin, 65, said he was informed by a person to pick his Fifth Form daughter who had turned hysterical.
“Normally, she returned home by bus but the person advised me to pick up my daughter as she appeared listless,” Mat Abas said.
A villager, who declined to be identified, had earlier alerted reporters in Taiping about the incident after his daughter, also a fifth former, had returned home about 11am instead of 2pm.
A teacher said some of the female students began kicking the wooden tables and chairs while others ran out of their classrooms shouting at the top of their voices.
Larut Matang and Selama district education officer Mat Lazim Idris was at the school but declined to talk to reporters. What is the name of the school?

'SAMAN' for road offenders!

White Proton Saga(example as shown above) NAA****, silver Toyota Estima AEB** and red mini Toyota always makes illegal U-Turn in front of SRJK(c) Hua Lian, Aulong. It have been years. The trouble comes pouring in when it started with an accident later on. Please somebody do their job!

Costly to make illegal U-turn

It may cost you RM200 for making an illegal U-turn in front of the Simpang wet market near Taiping.
Several motorists had received summonses for that offence from the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
However many of them cried foul, saying that there were no signages there to prohibit U-turn.
Concerned with the matter, Aulong assemblyman Yew Tian Hoe visited the spot re cently.
“To avoid further confusion, I will pay for the cost of erecting a ‘No U-turn’ signage there to prevent other unwary motorists from being compounded by the JPJ,” he told reporters.
Danger spot: A Road Transport Department officer showing Yew where motorists like to make illegal U-turn.
Yew also said that he would also sponsor another ‘No U-turn’ sign at a traffic lights junction located about 100m away as some motorists using the Butterworth-Ipoh old trunk road had also been compounded by traffic policemen for making illegal U-turns.
“Once the ‘No U-turn’ signages have been erected, both the JPJ and the traffic police men can compound errant motorists,” added Yew.
Yew, who was accompanied by a JPJ enforcement officer, was told by the latter that compound notices had to be issued to discourage motorists from making illegal U-turns in front of the Simpang wet market.
The JPJ officer said motorists should make their own judgment as the gap was not meant for U-turns for motorists exiting from Taiping town.
“Frequent accidents had occurred there because U-turns are supposed to be made further up the stretch,” said the officer.
Bumper-to-bumper traffic crawl often occurred in front of the market especially on Fridays and the situation worsened when some motorists made illegal U-turns there, added the JPJ officer.

St George's Institution Scouts Intro Camp on 17-20th April 2008 at Caravan Park,

Taiping Lake Garden

The purpose for this Introduction Camp is to train the younger scouts from Remove Classes to Form 3 classes. The patrol leader and the assistant patrol leader will be the seniors scouts(usually the Form 4 and Form 5 classes) while the super senior scouts will be the students from the Form 6 classes and even those who are working or futhering studies in colleges. Although the super seniors are in hectic schedule, they allocate a bit of their time to make sure the Intro Camp is running smoothly. This is what we call 'Georgian Spirit'. Some how the scouts from King Edward secondary school is also having a camp at their school compound. The tradition must go on. Hopefully the scouts in St George's Institution will be very much alive with the help of a teacher, Mr.Ng Lai Hock, an old georgian commitee member Mr. Yeap and even the school leavers who contribute their effort and time.
