Beloved Tunku Abdul Rahman

by SLLiew

As Malaysia approaches the 50th Anniversary of Independence, all Malaysians will remember Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj who was the first Prime Minister of Malaysia.He is a prince from Kedah State who studied in Penang Free School and later in England to take up law. Tunku is known to love horse racing too. Tunku led the Malays, Chinese and Indians of Malaya to gain independence peacefully from United Kingdom.Many places and institutions are named after Tunku. Example TAR College is Tunku Abdul Rahman College. However, some like the tallest building in Penang - KOMTAR actually named after the second Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdul Razak (same initials TAR)Tunku will not be forgotten as he led all Malayan crowds then to shout out loud, "Merdeka", "Merdeka", "Merdeka" (Independence) on August 31, 1957.

At many of the fishing village along the Straits of Melaka in Perak like Sungai Aceh, Kuala Kurau, Kuala Sepitang, you can buy really fresh seafood that are just brought in by the fishermen.None of those frozen stuff from neigbhoring countries that you buy in the local markets or hypermarts.In this pictures, freshly harvested cockles (local shell fish) is being transferred.

Oil palm estates - plenty

by SLLiew

While driving in Perak as well as other states of Malaysia, you will see endless rows of oil palm estates.Oil palm is originally from West Africa and Malaysia is a leading producer and research expert of this vegetable renewable oil which is used for cooking, margarine, etc.The fruits grow in bunches and are harvested and oil extracted from the kernel inside. If you are interested in the process in details, check following website:"http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/005/Y4355E/y4355e04.htm"One thing is that due to the fruits, there are lots of rats. So there are lots of snakes too. Some plantation have started breeding owls to reduce the rats, less rats, less snakes.

Tin Dredge of yesterdays

by SLLiew

Tin mining was one of major economic activities in the Kinta Valley around Ipoh. Malaysia used to the largest exporter of tin where this metal was used for canning and other purposes.Tin was mined from alluvial deposits by the river. It was manually dug or flushed with water jets and then separated from the alluvial using an elevated wooden inclined structure with running water and with catchment traps for the heavier tin. Another method was the completely automated system of the tin dredge. Like a floating ship, inside the tin dredge, alluvial deposit were continually scooped by automated buckets and then poured through a series of collectors for the tin ores. It was like a giant tank monster eating tin from the ground.So it used to be a majestic sight to see this giant tin dredge from a distance in the flat riverside. Now there are just distant memories.

As there are so many public holidays throughout the year, it may be difficult to find a less busy week. Anyway, following information may be useful for your planning.For 2007, the school term starts on Jan 3 Monday for all States except Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu.The 4 school holiday breaks are1) 1st Midterm break - March 10 - March 18 (9 days)2) Midyear break - May 26 - June 10 (16 days)3) 2nd Midterm break - August 18 - August 26 (9 days)4) Year break - November 17 - Jan 1, 2008 (45 days)For Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu - schools start on Sundays and are closed on Fridays. So all the above schedule is same except that it is one day earlier for these 3 states.
