KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 (Bernama) — Petrol and diesel will be sold 15 sen cheaper Tuesday following the government’s decision to lower fuel prices in tandem with the downward trend of global oil prices.
The pump price of RON97 petrol will be RM2 a litre from RM2.15 while the retail price of RON92 petrol and diesel is RM1.90 a litre, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said in a statement Monday.
He said this is the fifth downward revision since August in honouring the government’s promise to the people to lower fuel prices if oil prices dwindled in the world market.
Najib hoped traders would also lower prices of goods and services following the reduction in fuel prices to enable the people to reap the full benefits of cheaper fuel.
The people should continue to use petrol and diesel sparingly despite the lower price in line with the government’s efficient energy consumption plan, said Najib, who is also Finance Minister.
The government today announced that fuel prices will further be reduced by 15 sen per litre effective tomorrow.
-Another reduction in this month?
-Last cut was on Oct 31
TASHKENT, Nov 17 (Bernama) — Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wants traders to reduce their prices of goods so that consumers can enjoy the benefit of cheaper petrol and diesel in the country.
The prime minister said the problem was that prices of most goods had yet to go down despite the drop in fuel prices in the country for the fifth time, with the latest starting Tuesday.
“When the fuel prices went down, the prices of goods have not gone down as well. This is what I don’t like to hear,” Abdullah who is on the second day of his four-day official visit to Uzbekistan told Malaysian journalists here.
He said the traders were only interested in making a big profit, thus burdening the people.
The pump price of petrol will be RM2 a litre starting tomorrow, less 15 sen, while diesel will be RM1.90 per litre.
Abdullah said the government kept its word by reducing the pump prices following the downward trend of global oil prices.
However, the government was always at the losing end as people would still be angry with the government when the pump prices went down because the prices of goods did not go down as well, he added.
Abdullah said the people should not blame the government all the time as they, as consumers, had a role to play too in checking rising prices of goods.
“I am glad to hear that some non-governmental organisations plan to boycott some business premises for not reducing their prices,” he said.
Abdullah hoped that consumer associations could enlighten the business associations on the plight of the people through discussions.
So now all others food and mamak and all have to reduce ?? No more excuses. Ppl increased petrol price then all increase immediately, but when come to decrease price on all the food, they take ages and probably will not decrease. Is this fair?

Carey Island or Pulau Carey is an island in Selangor, Malaysia. Carey Island is located to the south of Port Klang and north of Banting town. It is a huge island separated from the Selangor coast by the Klang River, connected by a bridge from Chondoi and Teluk Panglima Garang near Banting. It was named after Valentine Carey, a former British civil service officer in Malaya. Despite its name, many locals from Klang do not consider it a real island compared to Pulau Ketam due to its proximity to the mainland and the river that separates it from the mainland is practically a stream.
It is famous for its seafood such as crabs, prawns, and various fishes. The island has palm oil plantations owned by Sime Darby Plantations. It is an initial settlement area for the Mah-Meri (IPA: [mɑx mɹi]), one of the aborigine Orang Asli tribes of Malaysia. They have assimilated into modern life, with jobs in the nearby plantations and farms, but they retain their unique culture and way of life. Apart from exhibitions of their traditional dances and music, the Mah Meri are particularly known for their votive sculptures, fashioned from a kind of swamp hardwood known as “Nyireh Batu”.
One day, during lunch, my boss suddenly suggest to have a seafood dinner @ Pulau Carey and I have no idea where’s that but was happy coz got free seafood. Huray! He said they seafood there is cheap and nice. Haha but who cares as long as it’s free food? =p
Then it took us about 45mins I think, to reach there as that day was raining and abit jam.
When we reach there, it’s empty, not much ppl there, but there’s some reserved table as well, guess it was a weekday that should explain why there’s not much crowd there.
We ordered a selection of popular dishes:
1) Oyster Omelette ‘Oh Jien’ – I taste grate and it’s a bit different from what we have in PJ or KL. It’s not very oily too which is total opposite from what I had before.
2) Marmite Crab – It’s finger licking good! =)
3) Crispy Fried Sotong – Very nice!
4) Vegie – Just a normal vegie…
Overall, it was a good value and tasty meal, at a very interesting location by the river but if you go at night you will not be able to see the nice sea view. Recommended and it’s cheap too.
After the sumptuous dinner, we pass by AEON Jusco Bukit Tinggi and decided to go and have a look since I think it’s one of the biggest shopping mall in Malaysia?
After that saw there’s Euro Fun Fair just at the car park beside, so we went to have some fun. =)
Entrance charges: RM3 for adults, RM2 for children
That day was one of the fun day for me. =)

Tobacco packaging warning messages are health warning messages that appear on the packaging of cigarettes and other tobacco products. They have been implemented in an effort to enhance the public’s knowledge about the dangers of smoking. In general, warnings used in different countries try to emphasize the same messages. Warnings for some countries are listed below. Such warnings have been commonplace in tobacco advertising for many years. more details
This is what we have in Malaysia now “AMARAN OLEH KERAJAAN MALAYSIA, MEROKOK MEMBAHAYAKAN KESIHATAN (Warning by the government of Malaysia, Smoking endangers health)” and seems no body cares about it and still so many smokers out there. So now government is taking more steps against smokers by adding some gross picture of the effect of smoking so that the smokers will quite smoking hopefully? Does it really works? I don’t think the smokers care about it. =)
PUTRAJAYA: Cigarette packs must carry pictorial health warnings by Jan 1 in the Government’s latest blitz against smokers.
Besides these warnings, the Health Ministry has also embarked on a series of moves targeting smokers including setting a minimum RM6 for a 20-cigarette pack by year-end, extending the list of non-smoking premises, and banning manufacturers from using words such as “low tar”, “light”, “ultra-light” and “mild” in their brand packaging with immediate effect.
Its minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said 21 cigarette manufacturers and importers in the country had agreed to this latest ruling.
“By Jan 1, each cigarette brand must have at least two of its products carry these warnings. However, there may still be old stock in the country with the old packaging.
“By next June, all cigarette packs must carry the warnings. Besides these warnings, the packs must print on the side an advisory against selling cigarettes to those aged 18 years and below, and the warning that cigarette smoke contains 4,000 types of chemicals,” he told reporters Wednesday at his office here.
There are six sets of pictorial warnings, advising people against smoking by featuring graphic images of mouth cancer, throat cancer and deformed foetuses. There is also an infoline number for smokers who wish to give up smoking.
The pictures on the front of the cigarette packs must cover 40% of the surface, while the ones shown on the back must be 60% in size.
In a survey by the ministry, 21.5% of the adult population or three million adults smoke and among teenagers, some 15% have indicated they have tried smoking and another 8% confessed to being regular smokers.
Liow said with this latest ruling, Malaysia joins another 15 countries which have complied with the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
“In Canada, these warnings have caused half of the smokers to want to quit and in Thailand, 80% of the smokers think these pictures are effective.
“Over the past 10 years, we have managed to reduce the number of smokers in Malaysia by 2% through our various campaigns. We are definitely not happy with that,” he said.
Liow said national service camps would be made non-smoking premises immediately while smokers would no longer be allowed to indulge their habit along the corridors surrounding shopping malls and complexes.
On setting the minimum price for a 20-cigarette pack, the minister said the price would be adjusted each time the Government announced additional taxes and charges in the Budget. “The Attorney-General’s office is now in the process of gazetting the minimum price,” he said, adding that anyone who failed to comply with the latest rulings could be fined up to RM10,000 or jailed two years or both.
Liow also said for this year alone, the ministry had compounded 2,622 smokers with fines totalling RM564,000 and charged another 1,946 smokers in court for various offences.

Wow it was cool and damn tiring experience! Thanks to Samsung for selected me as one of the participants which represent Samsung Fun Club in this Innov8 Run. Was disappointed that our team thought we could win but actually not, not really sure the reason why but at least we tried our best in the run, maybe our points were deducted because cannot meet the time frame? Too bad because we were the last car to start and actually 45mins – 1hour later than the 1st car who started the run.
Before the actual event, Innov8 Run, we had a get together lunch with all the selected Samsung Fun club participants at Bon Ton Restaurant @ Jalan Conley last Saturday before the actual event. Then we pick our team members using the draw lot method, Yee Leng, Lim and me were faithed as group members and I was picked as a driver.
After the get together lunch, I was think what the people in Samsung said, “Decorate your car and you might win something” might be win something or some surprise, so… I decided to take up the initiative to design my own logo plus Samsung Innov8 logo. It took me some time and money to do it…
Here’s the actual stickers and the end product on my car =) Look nice right? I did that on Saturday about 2am. Then after that faster went to catch some sleep and recharge to face the next morning challenge.
On the morning itself, just drank a cup of Milo and rush to pump petrol as I got that news that petrol dropped on that day itself too and being a kiasu me so waited till Saturday only pump my car to full tank for this Innov8 Run.
Then went to Samsung Customer Service Plaza @ Jalan 51A/219 and meet up with my team members. Then they distributed a small sticker for each of the participants so that all of them actually know and can recognize who’s in the same team and we have to use the team number thru out the run.
At about 9am, all the participants was separated to two group as the hall is not enough to fit all of us and my team member went on to the game challenge which actually determine which team will start 1st. The challenge is actually we had to race Asphalt 4 using INNOV8 phones and is hooked up to a Samsung LCD TV. Guess what? Our team actually got the last place and that’s the reason why we were the last car to start the run. =( Too bad I don’t play games and no talent for games.
After that, we proceed to the Samsung Training Center, where we were taught how to use the phone and the basic knowledge of treasure hunt. It’s actually my first time joining a treasure hunt in such big event, and it’s an eye opener. The we were assigned a Marshall and an Adidas t-shirt, car stickers and 2 INNOV8 phones per team. If they would have told me earlier that they actually giving me stickers then I probably not making one myself.
Then went on to stick it on my car and we’re off to a speech by Samsung’s head with media launch. The we received 1st question by sms and it actually hit us to locate “Menara KKAUM”. After that a must have big group photo shoot outside of the building so that the media could report about the event. Once that is over with, we’re told to line up the cars in the positions that we’re in, which is the last. LOL!
1st Stop – Wisma KKAUM. We were totally out of clue and we were brought to some ulu-ulu place by the GPS and end up in some factory area. Then we wasted quite some time only figured out the place was ASTAKA. It was actually frustrating to use the GPS and the women keep asking me to turn left or right where in actual fact it’s a straight road and when it reach roundabout, the women will keep on saying “Approaching roundabout”! LOL, who doesn’t know la? Just keep quite and lead us to the correct way, that was what we keep on mumbling.
Once we’re at the field, which was not that easy and took us clueless time, two persons from a team need to play a blindfolded game where a person need to walk a distance to get the puzzle and place it into a toy ball while the other person shouts out the directions and instructions. After that, I stayed in the field while my other two members have solve another challenge.
After that, we got our passport stamped and get our instructions and tulips and rush off to Digital Mall Section 14 there. We have to look around the building sign board or banner in order for us to solve the questions and need to get the treasure drinks which we got it correctly too. Then went to Sime Darby and took a team photo with the Samsung Omnia billboard and proceed to KL Tower. It was damn jam. Madness…
We get to play Flying Fox @ KL Tower and it’s actually my first time playing the Flying Fox, it’s nothing to shout about. The distance and height is so so only. Haha…
Capture other teams moment when their turn trying out the Flying Fox. You can see the reaction of the face, haha =)
After that, it was about 3-4pm and then we had to rush for our lunch too. This is our lunch box which cost RM15 as I was told. A bit expensive huh?
Then we proceed to Sungei Wang and took another picture of the team members with the Samsung Omnia banner again and gosh we had to go thru all the jam and crazy traffic. Then we were told that McDonalds @ Petaling Street was our next destination. There, we have to spot a bunch of signs or stores to complete our puzzle. Then we had a “Air Mata Kuching” drinking challenge where by we need to drink the cup of ice freeze “Air Mata Kuching” within 15secs and I did it in less than 5secs. Yeah! Too thirsty.
Then we were on shopping spree that we were told to buy a bunch of treasures which is natural items and we did it. Turnip, Plum, Mandrin Orange, Egg, Grape. Haha…
Then another mms showed us our last check point destination. We had to drive all the way to Batu Caves just to submit what we got in the shopping challenge. It’s jam and we got lost few times but lucky and thanks to our Marshal and we are back on track. It was the last destination because the whole event was late and they had to cancel a few other challenge. YaY!… If they did continue the thing… I think I will be fainted there and need to call ambulance.
Then we were given another tulips to our dinner at “Sakura Kristal” @ Taman Melawati. When we reach there only we were told that we need to submit photos or video that we need to take along the whole journey but we didn’t coz we were not informed?! Then went on to the lucky draw and prize giving ceremony and our team have confident that we will surely get number 1 and grab the phone but it was resulted as a disappointment. Then there were some special award… which I thought I might have a chance because of my stickers? but too bad… it was given to the girl who came all the way from Kuala Kangsar and another participant who’s pregnant?!~ but not me. sigh. =’(
KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Chong Wei’s reign as the world number one for more than two months is under threat following his defeat in the French Open men’s singles semi-final in Paris on Saturday.
The top seed and defending champion lost some valuable ranking points in crashing out to a 21-16, 14-21, 12-21 defeat by Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia.
It was Chong Wei’s second defeat by Taufik within a month. He was also the loser to the former Olympic and world champion in the final of the Macau Open.
The Beijing Olympic Games silver medallist will have to raise his game higher in the last two Super Series tournaments in China (Nov 18-23) and Hong Kong (Nov 25-30) to ensure that he will be able to end the season as world number one.
The last two Super Series tournaments will see the return of the Olympic champion Lin Dan of China and Chong Wei cannot take it easy any more. In fact, only Lin Dan can overtake Chong Wei as world number one before the year ends.
Malaysia’s challenge in the men’s doubles and mixed doubles also ended with the exits of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Kien Keat-Wong Pei Tty respectively.
Only Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui survived their women’s doubles semi-final match.
In final matches yesterday, Wang Lin of China won the women’s singles and He Hanbin-Yu Yang took the mixed doubles title.
Denmark’s Peter Gade-Christensen won his second consecutive Super Series tournament after his “home” Open in Odense last week. He defeated Taufik 16-21, 21-17, 21-7 in the men’s singles final.
