Di Melaka, majoriti penduduknya beragama Islam dan akan menyambut bulan mulia ini dengan meriah.  Selain dari menunaikan ibadah, pada bulan mulia ini ramai peniaga yang akan mengambil kesempatan memandangkan peluang perniagaan cukup besar.

Jonker Walk The Culprit For The Traffic Woes in Melaka?

by

That’s what the new Chief Minister Datuk Idris Haron thinks. I can’t blame him, with all the complaints about the traffic in Melaka especially during weekends, something need to be done. At least he said that this is a 4 weekends study. And by the time it is finish, I hope that Jonker Walk will be back as usual without the traffic.

Not that you can’t walk while it is open for traffic, but its different.

While you can walk freely previously, now you have to squeeze through the stalls along the five-foot pathway. With so many people around, I don’t think it will be easy to go through the things you want to buy. Eating cendol at Jonker Walk would not be as satisfying as before.

I really hope that the study is only for 4 weekends. It has been 13 years without traffic, and only now to blame Jonker Walk as the culprit?

Jerebu di Melaka semakin kritikal

by

Minggu ini Melaka diselubungi dengan jerebu teruk.  Fenomena jerebu ini berlaku akibat dari pembakaran terbuka yang dilakukan oleh negara jiran, Indonesia yang mana asapnya telah pergi ke kawasan berhampiran termasuk di Malaysia dan Singapura. Masalah yang mula dikesan pada 16 Jun 2013 yang lalu terus mengakibatkan masalah kesihatan yang teruk di Melaka. Kesan jerebu boleh dilihat apabila terasa gatal-gatal di bahagian kerongkong dan batuk-batuk, terasa sukar untuk bernafas atau sesak nafas, mata pedih dan berair, hidung berair dan kerap bersin, kulit badan terasa gatal-gatal atau terasa sakit dada. Di Melaka, keadaan jerebu ini mencapai tahap yang tidak sihat apabila bacaan Indeks Pencemar Udara (IPU) berada dalam kedudukan tidak sihat iaitu sekitar 150 -200.  Selain dari masalah kesihatan, ia juga member kesan kepada sektor pelancongan di negeri Melaka sekaligus member kesan juga kepada ekonomi di negeri Melaka.

1MCC to Help Melaka Football

by

Football is a well known sport in Malaysia. Melaka also has her own football team, but the team current ranking is not good. The team has been playing in the lower league, Liga FAM (division three in Malaysia League) for 3 seasons this year. It is not good as the Melaka football team has won the Malaysia cup 30 years ago and was also as good as other big teams in the 90s. In that era, big names such as the football legend Soh Chin Aun, Zainal Nordin, Ramli Junit , G. Torairaju and other players were born.

The situation has changed and the Melaka football team is as not as its glory days anymore. For the team to make history as it did back then, may be impossible. Even though Melaka has produced great talents such as  Shukor Adan, Federin Kadir and Rasid Mamut, but most of these players are playing for other states and clubs rather than playing for Melaka.

Why such thing happens?

I’ve heard from many sources, the big problem for Melaka football team is their lack of management.
