Pasar Road

If you are from KL, Pasar road has got the reputation of being a electronic heaven for the not so rich! Its a street filled with shops selling all sorts of electronic items at cheap cheap prices. Danny and I decided to go to pasar road because i was looking for a small knife and a torch for my upcoming trip to the forest.

When we got there as usual the whole area was packed with stalls everywhere. This area is infamous for its walkway stalls who sell from batteries to mobile phone accessories to binoculars to Viagra to ecstasy to even dildos! Read the rest of this entry »

MRR 2 Cracks..AGAIN

The Middle Ring Road(2) highway [MRR2] is closed again!! Yeap, the cracks have re-appeared for the 3rd time!! It was first closed in August 2004 and then for the second time in February 2006 for repairs. The stretch, part of the RM238 million Package 11 of the MRR2, was built by a consortium comprising Bumi Hiway, Sukmin and KKMJB on plans drawn upby the engineering firm of Maunsell, Sharma and Zakaria Sdn Bhd.

The last time there was a crack the government spent RM70 mil to fix it and its come un done again! Maybe there should be a review of all highway’s and roads that were built by Uncle Sam’s ministry before something major happens

Untuk makluman, permohonan bagi penutupan sebahagian Loji Rawatan Air Sungai Selangor Fasa 1 ini telahpun diluluskan dan dimaklumkan kepada pihak Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) serta pihak Kerajaan Negeri Selangor.

Pihak SYABAS juga turut bersiap-sedia mengaktifkan Pelan Tindakan Kecemasan (ERP) sekiranya berlaku sebarang kemungkinan sepanjang tempoh penutupan sebahagian loji ini. Sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga, pihak SYABAS telah menyediakan sebanyak 25 buah lori tangki dalam keadaan bersiap sedia bagi membekalkan air di kawasan yang terlibat apabila diperlukan.

Bagi meminimakan gangguan bekalan air, SYABAS akan menyalurkan bekalan air daripada Loji Sungai Selangor Fasa 3 (SSP3) dengan mengambil alih sebahagian bekalan air daripada Loji SSP1 ke Loji Dusun Kubung. Selain itu, Loji SSP3 juga akan turut membekalkan air ke kawasan yang dibekalkan oleh Loji SSP1 ke Wilayah Petaling yang terlibat.

Berikutan gangguan bekalan air ini, pihak SYABAS turut mengiklankan notis gangguan berjadual ini di akhbar-akhbar utama untuk hebahan kepada para pengguna. SYABAS juga mengharapkan agar semua media agar turut membantu menghebahkan makluman mengenai gangguan ini demi kepentingan semua pihak.

Segala kesulitan amatlah dikesali. Para pengguna dinasihatkan agar menyimpan bekalan air secukupnya serta menggunakan air secara berhemah sepanjang tempoh gangguan tersebut.

Sebarang pertanyaan atau aduan sila hubungi Pusat Perkhidmatan Pelanggan SYABAS (PUSPEL) menerusi talian bebas tol 1-800-88-5252 atau melalui SMS, dengan menaip PUSPEL dan hantar ke 39222 atau lawati laman web SYABAS di www.syabas.com.my.

Asmawi has gone missing and he is only 11 years old!! If you have any information or seen him please call the police asap.Bloggers pls post this and pass the word around. Pray for his return!

The Star’s Update

KUALA LUMPUR: An 11-year-old boy, Muhamad Asmawi Jalaludin, who went to play with his friends at the Kampung Kerinchi flats located about 200m from his house on March 9, has gone missing. Brickfields acting OCPD Supt Azri Abdul Rahman said Muhamad Asmawi usually went to his friends’ flats nearby to play videogames. The boy had gone to the nearby flats at around 5pm on March 9. When questioned by the police, his friends said that the SRK La Salle pupil had gone home at 6.30pm that day. When the boy left the house, he was wearing a pink T-shirt and grey shorts. “The boy was last seen at the Mid-Valley Megamall by a friend. We are scrutinising the CCTVs in the shopping complex to find out if he was there,” Supt Azri said on Thursday. He added that Muhammad Asmawi’s mother, Rozita Abu Hassan, 50, had received an SMS demanding ransom of a sum of money. Police have identified the sender of the SMS but have yet to track the person down. Rozita, when met at her home in Kampung Kerinchi here on Thursday, said she waited for her youngest son to return until evening and decided to search for him in the area but to no avail. ”Usually he goes cycling and plays football in the evenings and would be back by 5pm,” said the mother of seven. Anyone with information on Muhamad Asmawi’s disappearance can contact the Rakan COP hotline at 03-2115 9999 or SMS to 32728 or call Rozita at 019-255 0279.
