WHAT IS KTM'S MARKETING STRATEGY?
Pic: www.ktmb.com.my
Air Asia is a very well known budget carrier internationally which the incomes not only comes from the ticket but from the food they offer, the merchandises and maybe slightly from the charges implied from baggage, luggage and fast lane entry. Air Asia turnover their money from early online booking ticket. This is a few ways to keep the airlines survive from costlier fuel and maintenance.When it comes to Government linked companies, Keretapi Tanah Melayu(KTM) does not creating the same strategy. KTM only provide a canteen coach that does not allowed many hungry gluttons. No promotions on certain item either. Booking ticket online is not advisable as the schedule is improper and mostly late. It took longer hours to reach certain destination compare to buses. In additional, it is not a budget train. Most Malaysians would prefer motorcycles who cannot afford a car for transportation. It is simply cheaper although possess great danger compare to train.
MAKE EARLIER SERIES BROADCAST

What is the current tagline? Your Feel Bad Channel.
Why is it so? Just stay loyal to NTV7 and you will definitely feel so. NTV7 makes a better come back by screening more new series and etc. NTV7 make a whole new look and with the help of Yasmin, NTV7 make a grand come back alive and kicking. However, I don’t agree with the time schedule for the coming TVB series from 10.45 pm bring backward to 11.00 pm. Some comedies are shown late at night too. Maybe there should be a rerun on the selected comedies and series. Comedies by Gurmit Singh and the gang really outdated. It is not advisable to rerun the show at 8.30 pm on two separated days. I end up pressing the power button on the remote to shut down the television.

A BRAVO FIELD TRIP
Pic: www.8tv.com.my
It is a show where we learn culture and daily lifestyles living and learning in United States. From the show, we can make education system better (upgrade), learn other countries educations mistakes and pick only good points from it. That is why we learn History subject! Not only to learn but initially to create learning environment in Malaysia which can be adapt by Malaysians and included in our Malaysians Educations System. For example, I like the learning atmosphere where schools in Malaysia cannot provide such as lockets for each student to put personal belonging especially books. Eventually it won't create hunch back among them. What is terrible wrong with Malaysians Educations Systems is students need to digest a few subjects in a day. Therefore, they need to finish lots of homework in a day. What if the students are being taught only two lessons per day? Will it be better for students to learn, absorb and also to get better grades? 8TV Field Trip is aired every Wednesday at 9.30pm. A must see show.

GLOOMY ECONOMICS OR JUST REVENGE
Pic: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/11/nation/2250160&sec=nationTorch any cars you like just because you can't own it. Is this the way it should be?
Source from autoblog, People turn to torching cars in bad economy
Vehicle owners behind in their payments and faced with mounting debts have begun taking matches to their cars and trucks in an effort to stop their payments and collect the insurance settlements. Unfortunately, in most cases the attempts backfire (pun intended). According to police, when delinquencies on auto loans rise, owner-involved arson jumps as well. Between 2004 and 2007, "potential owner give-ups" (most of which involve torched vehicles) nearly doubled nationally. Distinguishing between an actual theft-and-burn and an owner-induced arson is the job of investigators who often find such cases easy to crack. For example, recently a pair of Chrysler Pacificas were burned and it just so happens that that particular model was only reported stolen 98 times across the nation this year – the so-called "theft" raised more than a few eyebrows at headquarters. In another case, a Yukon owner claimed his truck was stolen and burned overnight. Police knew that the thief likely had the keys (Yukons are especially difficult to hot-wire) so their focus was immediately turned towards the owner who had conveniently left "two cans of gasoline" in the back. In yet another case, the late-paying owners had significantly lowered their deductible just days before the reported theft. Over their heads in debt, fraudulent owners choose arson because the burned-out vehicle shells are often found immediately by authorities, and the insurance companies settle and disburse payments quickly. That is, assuming they haven't fallen behind on their insurance bills as well! Thanks for the tip, Ben!

Arsonists torch eight vehicles in Petaling Jaya
PETALING JAYA: Two men went on a pre-dawn arson spree, torching seven cars and a school bus by throwing Molotov cocktails at them in SS3, SS4, SS5 and Sunway here.
The attacks were believed to have been carried out between 4am and 6.30am yesterday.
Arson damage: A police personnel examining one of the burnt cars in Petaling Jaya yesterday.
The torched cars were a Honda Civic, a Proton Iswara and a Gen2, a Toyota Harrier, an Audi, a Naza Kia and a Toyota Vios.
A witness who declined to be named, said he saw two men in a four-wheel drive vehicle drive past his house.
One of them, who was standing at the back, lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it towards his car.
All eight vehicle owners lodged police reports.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamad said police were investigating the possibility of a syndicate “forcing” residents in Kelana Jaya to employ the services of a private security firm.
Under probe: Police personnel examining an oil container found at the scene where several cars were burnt in Petaling Jaya yesterday.
“We will check on these claims and ask the residents there if they have been approached by individuals offering residential patrolling services in the area,” he said when contacted last night.
He added that police were also investigating other possible motives behind the attacks.
It is learnt all vehicles were not broken into.
They were parked outside the owners’ homes and located within a radius of five kilometres.
Sources said similar arson incidents had previously occurred in the district this year.
PROTON MPV

2nd TOYOTA AVANZA FACELIFT
Pic: http://www.toyota.com.my/index.aspx?cat=models§=avanza&subsect=main Cute face lift I might say. Cute front bumper and new transmission. I think Toyota is betting on this model to overtake the sales of Nissan Grand Livina which is doing well at the moment.
NO WORRIES FROM FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Pic: GoogleI personally think that fruits and vegetables are melamine free. It might contain other chemical insecticides but the government should make sure it is under the approved level so that it will not impose any health hazard towards Malaysians.
57 fruits, vegies test negative for melamine
KUALA LUMPUR: All 57 samples of fruits and vegetables taken by the Health Ministry have tested negative for melamine, said minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai.
He said the samples were taken from six entry points and they included apples (five samples), grapes (three), pears (14), carrots (three), potatoes (11), lettuce (one), cauliflower (three) and cabbage (four).
Others on the list are chinese cabbage (two), broccoli (one), ginger (one), garlic (one), onions (two), tomato (one), kailan (two), kuchai leave (one), parsley (one) and leek (one).
Liow said so far, 141 food items had been analysed, with White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Vigour 888 Filling Roll (Sergestid Shrimp Flavour) and Biskut Taro (Bairong) testing positive for melamine.
The test showed that content of melamine in White Rabbit Creamy Candy was 135 parts per million (ppm) compared with 2.5ppm, the level permitted by the Health Ministry, while Vigour 888 Filling Roll (Sergestid Shrimp Flavour) had 4.71ppm and Biskut Taro (Bairong) had 75ppm.
“We will continue the monitoring activities throughout the country by taking samples of products from China, Malaysia and other countries,” Liow said.
He said the ministry’s monitoring system was well prepared for any situation.
“From time to time, we will carry out random sampling to ensure that the food items in the country are free from poisonous content,” he said.

Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chairman, Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir needs to encourage more spectators in SIC. How to promote the encouragement? Let me show how.
Develops interest in watching Formula 1 within Malaysians by making sure Formula 1 is aired live! Delayed telecast at the late hours will only kill the hobby and interest of many. Secondly, screen more advertisement and announcement on the schedule of Formula 1 shown on television.
Nevertheless, I just hope Formula 1 live telecast tonight on RTM 2 will neither delay nor the first part not being shown.(History repeats: Beijing Olympic 2008)

SLOW ACTIONS ON TAINTED MILK
IMAGE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rabbit_Creamy_Candy
IMAGE: http://chrongmeng.blogspot.com/2008/05/silang-house-of-steamed-potato.htmlYesterday, I came across a little trader selling hampers and food items. An item caught hold of my attention. It is the ‘Silang House of Steamed Potato Cracker’. Here in my hometown still selling this product. I'm not sure if this product is contaminated or not but it looks likely to be containing of milk. In Singapore this product is already banned.
My humble advice to the authorities is to advertise products that are contaminated through media and to pass the flyers around to the little traders. I do not blame it is entirely the fault of the traders to sell this products because they do not have the time to check the products if the salesmen did not confront them. Make a major call back for this product too. Stern penalty must also be taken to the distributors or traders who do not follow the guidelines given. I want eat safe and feel safe as a consumer and living in Malaysia as well.

Singapore detects melamine in five more products
SINGAPORE: Singapores food authorities have detected melamine in five more products imported from China.
Two are flavoured milk and three are confectioneries containing milk powder as an ingredient, according to AgriFood & Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore.
They are Dutch Lady’s Banana Flavoured Milk and Honeydew Flavoured Milk, Silang House of Steamed Potato Potato Cracker, and Puffed Rice Rolls with Butter Corn Flavour and Cheese Flavour.
This brings to eight, the total number of affected products found in Singapore.
The other products which were earlier found to have been contaminated with melamine are Yi Li Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection, Dutch Lady Strawberry Flavoured Milk and White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
In its latest advisory here, AVA said there was no need for the public to be unduly concerned as it had suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China since last Friday.
It also said the levels of melamine detected in the products here were low and hence, unlikely to result in adverse health effects.
The public need to consume large quantities of the contaminated products over a prolonged period of time to have any potential illeffects on health, AVA said. - Bernama

NEW CURRICULUM AGAIN
New Primary School curriculum will start in year 2010. The new curriculum would make learning more holistic and less examination-oriented. Moreover, teachers would have additional responsibilities with school-based assessment in an interviewed with Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Does it mean by it is 100% no cheating during performing school-based assessment? In the end, a centralised examinations will be given. If the students are not being used to have examinations or test, can the students do well in the centralised examinations later on? Finally, students will perhaps score well in school-based assessment but not in centralised examinations. Therefore, it is better to perform the current curriculum than the new ones. From the current curriculum, it should be improvised year by year.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN
Happened at 6.30 a.m.Photo taken at 12. 15 p.m.
It did happen again. From my previous blog, it is because of misunderstanding. But this morning while getting ready to go to work, a guy fell down from his bike while riding. The guy got frustrated and made some noise from the exhaust pipe. It was loud and lasted for 15 seconds. I think the disturbance woke many up from their cozy bed. The clock showed 6.30 a.m. Later the guy kicked the booth. I just had a glimpse. The fall is because the man who build the booth also build cement on the tar to cover up the electricity supply from a house nearby.
I appeal somebody who has the authority and power to investigate this matter as I have made a complaint and a follow up but still can not eradicate this illegal booth. The municipal worker play a bit of role and entertained me politely but in the end told me not to call the municipal council as the action cannot be taken although is illegal. It smells corruption to me.
