Pahang Maran SJKC Jerik


SJKC Jerik
SJKC Jerik is a Chinese primary school in Maran, Pahang. This school is located nearby Sungai Jerik. It's about 1 km from Sungai Jerik old town.

Lubuk Yu recreation centre is not far from Sungai Jerik. The mysterious illness which caused the death of several local residents occurred in Lubuk Yu recreation centre recently.

SJKC Jerik
I had served in SJKC Jerik in the early 80s. I was posted to SJKC Jerik after completion of training in Mohd Khalid Teacher Training College in Johor Bahru. I had been in SJKC Jerik for two years.

SJKC Jerik
More than 20 years ago, the buildings of SJKC Jerik were very old. Now, a block of 2-storey classroom and a new resource center was constructed.

SJKC Jerik was badly damaged in the flood disaster which hit Sungai Jerik at the end of 2007.

Malaysia RFM988 "Say Hi To Malaysia" Stranded


Jamaluddin Ibrahim
A few days ago, a great number of visitors flocked to my blog.

After understanding the situation, I realized that their visiting were related to the renowned political commentator Jamaluddin Ibrahim. They were seeking Jamaluddin Ibrahim's information through Google, Yahoo and Microsoft search engines. Coincidentally I had written an article relating to Jamaluddin Ibrahim.

I was truly amazed why so many people eager to find the information of Jamaluddin Ibrahim. So I did a Google search and found out that RFM988 program "Say Hi To Malaysia" was in trouble. Jamaluddin Ibrahim was one of the hosts of that program.

According to the China Press, Jamaluddin Ibrahim and his counterparts were ordered to close their microphone and seal their lips. Furthermore, RFM988 chief executive officer Wong Lai Ngo and senior program manager Chen Jia Rong had also been axed.

"Say Hi To Malaysia" began broadcasting on May 4, 2009. The program was on air from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 10 am. It's pretty popular among the Chinese community especially the younger generation.

If the authorities keep on ignoring the public opinion, it will inevitably lead to the loss of votes. Why be so silly?

Malaysia Dap Excellent Leader, Teng Chang Khim


Teng Chang Khim
"OMG! Real culprit is freed!"

This was the short massage tweeted by the Speaker of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly Teng Chang Khim on Twitter. This controversial tweet had enraged the Dap Disciplinary Committee. It would cause disruption in Dap if this incident not solve wisely.

Teng Chang Khim had claimed that he would rather to be sacked in order to defend his dignity. His strong stance is eminently respectable.

Teng Chang Khim is the first Chinese Malaysian State Legislative Assembly Speaker and four term Selangor State Legislative Assembly member. He is fluent in Malay, English and Mandarin. Besides that he is also articulate and truly popular among Malaysian. Undoubtedly he is an elite leader in Malaysia.

When it comes to experience in political arena, obviously there are rarely young Dap leaders as good as Teng Chang Khim. In case Dap couldn't accept Teng Chang Khim, it will finally disappear in Malaysia.

The Pahang Sweet Salak Fruit


The Pahang Sweet Salak Fruit
The stuff in the above photo is the sweet salak. It is a type of fruit which can be found in Pahang but rarely seen in other places in Malaysia.

The size of the sweet salak is as big as an egg. The peel of the sweet salak is red-brown in colour. It looks like the snake skin which is covered with scales. There are many tiny burrs on the peel of the sweet salak. Be careful when peeling and cutting the fruit, in order to avoid being hurt.

The flesh of the sweet salak is yellowish. The unripe sweet salak is slightly sour in taste. The fruit is sweet and delicious when it's ripe.
