New Hope For More Hastle Free Air Travel With Airport Liquid Scanners

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

New airport scanners to detect explosive liquids?

It’s annoying and inconvenient that travelers can’t take liquids on-board aircraft. So much so that I have even traveled overland instead of flying just so I can carry some back to Malaysia!

Aside from the annoyances at the airport and the inconveniences I often wonder what happens to all of the confiscated items? Is it all wasted? Did the two ladies at Phuket airport take back my beers for their husbands to enjoy? What about all of the lighters and match boxes? I’ve seen boxes full of them at several airports, including pricey Zippo lighers! You can’t help but feel robbed and stressed after handing over items never to be seen again to security officers.

Jalan Ceylon:

This is the major growth area for the nightlife scene in KL and is situated near to Bukit Bintang (shopping hub mixed with dodgy “massage parlours”) and Jalan Alor (most famous Chinese food street).  A few years ago it was a pretty desolate street.  Now it has become the top drinking destination with new bars and clubs opening frequently.

Wake Up YB. Dato’ Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen – Leave Frasers Hill Alone

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

For a woman who, according to her blog is qualified in Medicine (Bachelor of Medicine, Surgery from the University of Malaya and a Diploma in Reproductive Medicine from the John Hopkins University, U.S.A) you might wonder what expertise YB. Dato’ Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen is drawing from when she talks of developing Fraser’s Hill.

So little does YB. Dato’ Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen seem to know about conservation in her native land of Malaysia that she seems to think developing Fraser’s Hill could be a bright idea.  Firstly I’d love to explain to her that development is generally an opposing factor to conservation and that what Fraser’s Hill (and many other places in Malaysia) need is conservation.

Drink Driving Guidelines

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

“I’m only going down the road.’”
A large proportion of all drink drive crashes occur within three miles of the start of the journey.

According to the UK department for transport (DFT):

• If you drive at twice the legal alcohol limit you are at least 30 times more likely to cause a road crash, than a driver who hasn’t been drinking.
• The only safe option is not to drink alcohol if you plan to drive, and never offer an alcoholic drink to someone else who is intending to drive.
