Foodie trip to Singapore

Flight Airasia AK6066 Airbus A320-200

31ST AUGUST, cruising at 34,000 ft across the South China Sea

I made a foodie trip to Singapore with my wife during the National Day break last week. We check-in earlier via Airasia’s website which also includes check-in for our return flight, hence, leaving the worries of rushing to the airport and/or looking for a printer to print my boarding pass. All I need to do now is to concentrate on the chilli crab, Singapore roaster pork rice, iced kacang, the Merlion and etc etc.

The boarding procedure at Miri Airport was a smooth one despite of the fact that it was a full flight. The passengers were mostly holiday makers, just like me.

The flight onboard Airasia’s AK6066 was a smooth one. The seats are spacey and comfortable. Most importantly, the take-off was extraordinary quiet and with little vibration! I have travelled in many Airasia domestic flights, and it was a scary experience to heavy vibration and hearing squeaky noises coming out from the aircraft. Maybe this Airbus A320-200 is a new one, powered by new mega quiet engines.

Onboard the aircraft, the interior is clean, and for this flight, you won’t get that misty air-conditioning feeling.

Piloted by Capt. Albert Chew, we arrived 10 mins ahead of schedule at 1145hours at Changi International Airport, Singapore.

Just a quick note on departure from Singapore: If you have check-in earlier and printed your boarding pass, and your boarding pass do not include the gate for your departure, please go straight to the “Document Check” counter to verify your boarding pass.

We decided to take the bus to Costa Sands Resort, since its just nearby. Cost us SGD1.30 only. Bus is clean, as well as the bus stop. Not a single rubbish is seen on the floor!

Clean bus stop at Singapore Changi Airport.

Bus ride to Costa Sands Resort.

Foodie to follow later… off to bed for now ;)

Hari Raya note to ADUN N34 Krian

Add your comment

Just a thought, Salam 1Malaysia and Salam Merdeka.

This note goes to YB Ali Biju, ADUN N34 Krian, and the 645 members of this group are free to respond.

+++++++++++++++++++++

During the recent PRN10, YB ADUN N34 Krian won areas in Selambung, Entebu and Bajau with a handsome majority, backed by your campaign regarding NCR land issues.

Did YB tell your voters, during your campaign, in those three areas NOT TO accept the perimeter survey? I cannot recall it, if YB did.

Today, the land in those three areas have been declared as Communal Reserve Land, after the completion of the perimeter survey by the L&S Dept.

Example of the Communal Reserve Land gazette notification

Will YB ADUN Krian, dare to go back to those three areas, and tell your voters to tear up their Communal Reserve Land gazette notification instead of just merely cautioning them that they must be educated on the worth of their land and the downgrading of their NCR land.

Or, will YB ADUN Krian goes back to the three areas and tell them to start identifying their land boundary among each other prior to the start of the government’s SECOND PHASE of the survey process, where upon completion, INDIVIDUAL LAND TITLE will be issue to individual NCR land owners.

Rather than spending time confusing the rakyat in Saratok over the social media, I would be grateful to ADUN Krian and his supporters to start doing better community-based educational events, etc where those session should be used to share knowledge on how to improve our own livelihood.

It is time to stop ALL your politics and WALK the TALK. The real rakyat cannot live on politics alone. Politics is to put you (YB Ali) in public office. And, if you pour or allow “politics of your supporters” to dwell in that public office, too bad, the rakyat won’t feel the good times of life while you are their “Yang Berhormat.”

Btw, do not ask me about land laws, because you guys know it better, or else, you won’t be pestering me or other people to talk about it. You can eat your law books, but the rakyat won’t be filled (kenyang) with those.

What feed the rakyat is their ability to stand on their own, manage their own home economics, with the knowledge that we share with them. Its the sharing of ways to improve oneself that is lacking in this FB Group page/forum.

And finally, I have no vested interest to be a candidate in any election. Your supporters said it, not me.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to Muslim followers of this page. Maaf zahir dan batin.

Rgds,

RESPOND TO THE RECENT PRESS STATEMENT MADE BY YB ALI BIJU, ADUN (PKR) KRIAN

4 Comments

1. NCR new survey initiative had been fully explained by the government made by presentation from the Land and Survey Department. YB ADUN for N34 Krian should have make an attempt to have an audience with the Land and Survey Dept. before making his statement to the social media and the print media.

2. The exercise implementation is for the whole of Sarawak, not for Saratok only as claimed by YB ADUN for N34 Krian in his statement.

3. The NCR new survey initiative had been accepted by most of the Iban community in Saratok, and fortunately, ADUN for N34 Krian and his supporters know it well.

4. In his press statement, ADUN N34 Krian doesn’t dare to explicitly denounce and to call on the Ibans in Saratok to fully reject the NCR new survey initiative because he know majority of the Ibans in Saratok, including his supporters, have accepted the exercise. YB ADUN for N34 Krian is scared and does not dare to alienate his supporters, and to lose their support if he is to call on all the Ibans in Saratok to reject the NCR new survey initiative.

5. YB ADUN for N34 Krian does not want the people to support this initiative which have been accepted by majority Iban community, hence YB ADUN for N34 Krian is prepared to sacrifice the interest of the Ibans in Saratok, for the sack of his narrow politics.

6. Further to that, YB ADUN for N34 Krian doesn’t dare to take responsibility if, because of his statements, NCR lands in Krian constituency would be left out of the survey exercise altogether.

7. This behaviour is certainly not an attribute of the so called “Bujang Berani” as his supporters and admirers always potray him to be.

8. Instead, ADUN for N34 Krian, attempted to cultivate fear in the mind of the Ibans in Saratok that the perimeter survey would downgrade the status of their NCR lands, and the exercise would make it easier for the government to rob their lands.

9. In his overzealousness to sow the seed of fear in the mind of the people, YB ADUN for N34 Krian, had conveniently and purposely omitted to mention phase two of the exercise, i.e., to survey individual lands, free of charge, and to issue individual land titles with zero premium, added with a perpetuity grant.

10. Ba penemu kitai Iban, YB ADUN N34 Krian tu, enda indah baka orang ke madahka bisi antu ba  tuchung bukit kena ngenakutka orang, tang  iya empu pan takut ga niki ngagai tuchung bukit nya.

11. This is hoodwinking politics at it’s best or worst, whichever way you (the media and social media users) want to look at it.

12. So much for the so called “Bujang Berani”.
