逛自然界博物馆开眼界
逛自然界博物馆开眼界
虎大哥──要介绍大马的动物，当然少不了虎大哥。 （图：星洲日报）
想了解大马各种动物与昆虫？位于布城15区的自然界博物馆（Muzium Alam Semula Jadi）绝对是你最好的选择！
自然界博物馆于去年2月开始操作，展示大马各种昆虫与动物标本，包括老虎、鹿、蝙蝠、猴子、马来貘、穿山甲及各种鼠类等，其中一些动物更已濒临绝种，昆虫类则有蝴蝶、飞蛾、竹节虫及独角仙等。
各种动物、昆虫标本栩栩如生，让人大开眼界，馆方除了图文并茂介绍各种类动物，也在现场放置数台电视机，让访客进一步认识各种动物。
底楼展览厅的一角，也摆放了数张小桌椅及动物布偶，让小朋友能够歇息玩乐。
另外，走入博物馆二楼，映入眼帘的是一幅幅唯美的照片，让人犹如置身大自然的怀抱，感受到大自然的宁静与和谐。这些都是自然界博物馆首次举办自然界摄影比赛的优胜作品，主题包括石头类、植物及动物，借此宣导爱护大自然的意识。
自然界摄影比赛作品展览将一直展出到9月18日，动物昆虫展览则没有期限。
有意前往自然界博物馆的公众，可在每日上午9时至下午5时前往，入门票2令吉，若是组团前往，还可要求专人讲解。博物馆将在开斋节及哈芝节休假。

Zoo delivers storks
Zoo delivers storks
The rehabilitation efforts of Zoo Negara in breeding the Milky Stork has proven to be a success with over 200 birds now released into the wilds of Malaysia where only 10 were known to have been alive before.
Tan Chong Group comprising Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad, Warisan TC Holdings Berhad and APM Automotive Holdings Berhad has decided to support Zoo Negara’s efforts by contributing one Nissan Urvan and Nissan Frontier 4x4.
By way of this contribution, Tan Chong has also officially adopted the Milky Stork.
The Group believes Zoo Negara’s efforts has proven that its captive breeding programme is effective in rehabilitating a near-extinct bird species.
Gift of wheels: Cheah (fourth from left) handing a mock key to Zoo Negara council member Datuk Seri Low Yow Tian. Flanking them are senior management from Tan Chong Group and Zoo Negara.
A handover ceremony of the two Nissan vehicles was made at the Dataran Datuk Ismail Hutson located within the zoo’s compound.
Tan Chong Group was represented by its group senior adviser Datuk Cheah Sam Kip, while Zoo Negara by its director Dr Mohamad Ngah.
“We are indeed proud to be associated with efforts of the Zoo in protecting the Milky Stork and to ensure its continued survival for future generations to enjoy. This does prove that efforts can be made to reverse the damage mankind had caused leading to the near-extinction of the Milky Stork,” said Cheah during the handover ceremony.
“The stork (pronounced as “guan” in Chinese) and crane (pronounced as “he” in Chinese) are very similar. For the Chinese community, the crane symbolises longevity and with the Tan Chong Group having been established for more than 50 years in Malaysia, we look forward to another 50 years of longevity to come,” he added.
Tan Chong also feted some 20 children of single parents from the SJK (C) Sungai Chua, Kajang to a day at the zoo. The school is one of two schools presently sponsored by Tan Chong Group as part of its CSR Programme.

One ticket for Monorail and LRT
Rail passengers to buy just one ticket for Monorail and LRT from Nov 30
COMMUTERS on LRT and KL Monorail need just one ticket from Nov 30 when the new Integrated Ticketing System (ITS) is introduced by its operator Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana).
Prasarana group managing director Shahril Mokhtar said the new RM115.2mil system, which is referred to as the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) would only require commuters to buy a single ticket for all three rail services — the Kelana Jaya Line, Ampang Line and the Monorail Line.
“There will be no more queuing to get two or three sets of tickets but just one that will allow for a more convenient and faster travel,” he told reporters at the Bukit Jalil LRT station.
He said Prasarana’s next target would be to incorporate the system with its RapidKL buses and later with KTM Komuter.
For easy travel: (From left) Prasarana Infrastructure development group director Nor Hassan Ismail, Shahril and Abdul Hamid at the media briefing on the ITS intergrated system.
Under the ITS system, commuters can buy a Contactless Smart Card (SCS) for stored value tickets and passes.
The system would also allow customers to buy and reload their tickets online, eliminating queuing at ticket vending machines and counters.
Prasarana will be also introducing loyalty points to reward customers.
“As of today, the system is in place at four LRT stations — Taman Paramount and Abdullah Hukum for the Kelana Jaya Line, Sultan Ismail and Bukit Jalil stations for the Ampang Line. It is on schedule and the project is 62% completed,” said Shahril.
AFC project manager Abdul Hamid Abdullah said the pilot project involving the four stations would start next month and they would proceed to implement the new system in the following months.
“By September, we will have a parallel run of the old and new systems and commuters can choose to use the new or old system. Then in November hopefully we will be on the new AFC system,” he said.
Installed by a joint venture Malaysian-Spanish company INDRA-IRIS AFC Consortium (IIAC), the new system comprises new automatic gates, ticket-vending machines, passenger service machines, mobile validators, station computer system, central computer system initialisation machines and personalisation machines.
Shahril said the current system was obsolete and Prasarana was finding it difficult to get spare parts.
“We cannot install new gates in view of the rising number in commuters. The current system also cannot support an intergrated ticketing system and more importantly it could not support the current ridership,” said Shahril.
He added that the current ridership for all three rail services was 400,000 daily.
“We aim to push an average of half a million passengers daily next year. We also aim to incorporate the new system with KTM Kommuter in the near future,” added Shahril.

小贩反应踊跃‧海产土产销售中心开跑
小贩反应踊跃‧海产土产销售中心开跑
小贩摆卖的特大粒芒果吸引公众瞩目，纷纷议价，场面热闹。 （图：星洲日报）
适耕庄【Sekinchan】州议员黄瑞林服务中心推出“海产、土产销售中心”计划，获得当地农民热烈响应，有超过20档口摆卖各式各样的农产品，吸引当地村民及外来游客购买。
这个销售中心坐落在适耕庄海口仙法师宫古庙旁，是属于露天及类似市集的经营形式，由于它是于本月5日才正式开跑，因此相信需要一段适应期，才会增加更多人潮和买气。
王德成：规定小贩物品不能重复
有份参与策划工作的王德成指出，这项计划从策划到落实仅花了一星期时间，有关工作包括向地主租地、铺石头和召集所有小贩参与该活动。
他说，自该服务中心发布有关消息后，小贩的反应相当踊跃，有超过20人报名参加。
“我们规定小贩摆卖的物品不能重复，即每一种相同的物品不能超过两档摆卖，以便让市集的海产和土产物品趋向多元化。”
他表示，州议员服务中心在近年大力推广生态旅游，结果取得不俗的反应，因此才有了这项设立“海产、土产销售中心”的构思。
集中在一个地点经营
他说，在这之前，若当地居民或外来游客欲购买鱼丸或其他海产的话，就必须到各个不同的地点购买，因此黄瑞林建议找个集中地，让小型工业、食品加工业能够集中在一个地点经营。
根据《大都会》在现场观察所得，小贩摆卖的物品应有尽有，包括各种装饰品、服饰、加工食品、虾饼、木薯片、马玲薯片、鸡蛋糕。
基于适耕庄的印裔小贩较少，因此到现场摆档的小贩只有华裔及巫裔。

推行自动售检票系统‧rapidKL“一票”通
推行自动售检票系统‧rapidKL“一票”通
“自动售检票系统”除了有卡之外，还有“代币”供单程乘客使用。 （图：星洲日报）
rapidKL推行“自动售检票系统”，让乘客“一票”在手，就能顺畅抵达目的地！
国家基建公司集团执行总监沙立尔莫达表示，该提升工程耗资1亿1千520万令吉，乘客无需购买不同的车票，仅需使用““自动售检票系统”（Automatic Fare Collection）就可。
现有系统11月杪停用
他指出，现有的票务系统将在11月30日停止使用，乘客在新系统下，可通过网上购票或添值服务，不过该系统仅完成62%，须待全面完成后才可使用。
“该项服务可让乘客在使用该公司旗下的三个主要线路，即格拉那再也线、安邦线及单轨火车；该科技是源自于西班牙科技，提升工程则由Indra-Iris AFC公司负责。”
明年可达50万乘客量
另一方面，沙立尔莫达表示，目前这系统已安装在加百乐花园站、阿都拉胡贡站、苏丹依斯迈站和武吉加里尔站，预计该系统将在7月中旬正式启用。
他说，现有的系统陈旧不已，许多零件很难寻找，所以才采用最新科技代替。
“目前每天的乘客量大约是40万人，预计明年可达到50万乘客量，该服务也将在2013年延伸至电动火车和巴士服务，而格拉那再也延伸线路或将采用这项新系统，让更多人受惠。”
他相信，该项服务可为公司提高约10至15%的盈利。
针对敦依斯迈花园居民在早前反对兴建捷运站一事，他表示，一切有待证实，他将会在稍后公布这消息。
系统7月中旬试跑
该工程负责人阿都哈密表示，“自动售检票系统”将在今年7月中旬试跑，并在9月于上述4个站进行为期3个月的实用期。
“若一切顺利，我们预计将在12月开始正式启用这项新服务。”
他亦表示，新服务将有两种形式的票务，除了“自动售检票系统”外，还有适合单程乘客使用的代币。
出席者包括国家基建有限公司的设备集团总监诺哈山。
