Malaysians will go to the polls for the 14th general election on May 9th
I WILL NOT VOTE DR MAHATHIR or his party
As I said in my previous article ....
In 1995 General election I voted the defunct S46 led by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah the MP for Gua Musang.
I didn't vote in the 1999 GE.
SAY NO TO DR MAHATHIR AND PAKATAN
I'm posting this article on Sunday at 1824 hours.
Urban Transformation Center is a brainchild project of PM Najib.
This is a very good idea since government departments like JPJ,JPN, Immigration are open until 8.30pm seven days a week. The grocery mall is opened until 10pm.
Besides there are also Health and Dental clinics. Also open until 8.30 pm.
Very convenient to busy Malaysians despite their tight schedules.
Thumbs Up to PM Najib
Exploring Sarawak during the last school holidays was a great experience.
This time I flew with Malaysia Airlines and my mom was with me. Her first Kuching trip....MH service is improving. Alhamdulillah.
I decided to drive from Kuching to Sibu. To me it was the 1980s view in Peninsular Malaysia. Not much difference then if I drive from Seremban to Penang via the old federal road. It was the same view when driving from Kuching to Sibu.
However I noticed that Pan Borneo Highway is slowly progressing.
Watching the fierce Rejang river flow in Sibu was a blessing.
Lunch at Sarikei mosque (brought home food all the way - day one) was a BLESSING. In 1982 I got to know a pen pal from Sarikei from a radio program. We keep in touch for about a year. Anyway she invited me to her hometown Sarikei. I told her I will go to Sarikei one day.
Although we have lost contact I've honored my promise to go to her hometown.
I wish her well with her husband, family and grandchildren.
Anyway upon arriving in Sibu, I decided to drive to Bintulu the next day.
Alhamdulillah that is all I can say. I'll be 50 In Sha Allah on Nov 4th. Thank you Allah for giving me the health and pleasure to drive long distance again (just like driving from Saskatoon to Thunder Bay Canada)
I understand the next town after Bintulu is Miri. And from Miri to Limbang and Lawas we must drive via Brunei. That is really weird.
I suggest that Pan Borneo Highway make some kind of short cut or new road from Miri to Lawas the border town before entering Sabah. Also there must be many rest and relax areas. Since in Sabah and Sarawak, Muslims accounted to Not More than 50% then I suggest at every R&R a Muslim food area and surau (prayer room) be designated. To have ONLY MUSLIM food courts at Pan Borneo Highway will not be practical. (Only an idea)
Why must I go through various posts if I am driving from Miri to Lawas? My international passport IS NOT WITH ME if I am flying to Sabah or Sarawak. Think I will fly to Brunei...
Hope the Najib and Abang Johari administration will take note on this matter.
One thing which still make me nervous was when approaching Betong. In the 1980s Betong was a black area where the bulk of Communist Party of Malaya members was based. At present Betong is still green with jungles....can't imagine Betong in 1980s.
Crossing the new bridge at Batang Sadong river near Simunjan was unforgettable. (seeing crocodiles swimming here and there)
I look forward to flying to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu again.
The state government of Sarawak under the late Tan Sri Adenan Satem has declared every July 22 nd as Sarawak Day.
To all Sarawakians
Happy Sarawak Day.
In Kuching there was a colonial building beside Plaza Merdeka. It is now a Pos Laju center.
That building can be preserved for future generations.
I understand that the Sarawak government have no interest to turn that colonial building into a museum.
At least make it shines.....
