Genting Part 1
|
|
Went up the mountain with my brother and his family 2 weeks ago for a short break, I'm more interested in the scenery while the 2 niece and nephew were enjoying themselves silly with all the kiddy rides there. We stayed at The ThemePark Hotel new wing, which I like better than First World Hotel due to it's charming architecture.

pangillan Baitullah..
|
|
Semalam sempat hantar ibu dan ibu saudara yang hendak mengerjakan ibadah haji di Baitullah, nasib baik datang siang sikit dan dan tidak terlalu sesak dengan sedara mara yang hendak hantar. Satu orang yang pergi tapi lebih dari 30 yang hantar kat airpot, nasib baik lah airpot tu besar . Ada 3 terminal di Changi Airport jadi tak lah jadi masalah bagi penumpang lain yang hendak check in juga.
nenek dan cucu kesayangan posing kejap, ini anak kepada adik lelaki mummy. Sempat pulak tu ibu meminta mummy mengambil gambar ni mengunakan handphone nya dan digunakan sebagai screen saver nya. Dapat lah dia lepaskan rindu bila lihat gambar ni bila berada di Mekah nanti.
Semoga Tuhan mempermudahkan perjalanan mereka berdua ni selama menjadi tetamu di bumi Allah, dan mendapat haji yang mabrur. Sehingga bertemu lagi sebulan dari sekarang.
ibu dikiri dan ibu saudara di sebelah kanan. Jemaah dari travel agent yang sama akan mengenakan pakaian yang sama sewaktu pergi supaya senang di identifikasi oleh pegawai yang bertugas.

Shocking news...
|
|
Straits Times date today, 14th November 2008
detailed pictures put together after interviewing witnesses.
From Singapore Straits Times online.
| Quote: |
A CLEANER at the Singapore Zoo who jumped into the white tiger enclosure yesterday was killed by the animals as a horrified crowd looked on helplessly.
Malaysian Nordin Montong, 32, was set upon by two of the three big cats in the enclosure at around noon.
According to eyewitnesses, Mr Nordin, who was seen shouting and flinging items about shortly before the incident, vaulted a low wall and landed in a moat in the enclosure, four metres below.
Carrying a yellow pail and a broom, he then crossed the 1.75m-deep moat, walked up to a rocky ledge near where the animals were and began agitating them by swinging the broom.
As two of the tigers approached him, he covered his head with the pail, lay down on the ground, and curled himself into a foetal position, two eyewitnesses, an Australian couple, told police. Their identities were withheld pending investigations.
In a flash, two of the extremely rare white tigers were on him. One took a swipe at him with its paw - which is about the size of a softball glove - and he began screaming in pain, said another eyewitness, Dutch tourist W. R. de Boer.
He said many in the crowd of 30 or so onlookers at the enclosure initially thought the intrusion was part of a show.
But when Mr Nordin began screaming, they reacted with horror.
'Some were screaming: 'Go away' to the tigers and others were shouting to scare the tigers,' he said.
The cries alerted zoo staff, and the alarm was raised.
About 20 keepers arrived within minutes. Some tried to prevent the attack from continuing by throwing brooms and dustbin covers, while the rest ushered the shocked onlookers away.
Also deployed were two zookeepers armed with rifles and live ammunition, but these were not used, said the zoo's assistant director of zoology, Mr Biswajit Guha.
Despite the efforts of the keepers, one tiger continued attacking Mr Nordin for several minutes, the zoo said in a statement yesterday.
It only relented after a door to the tigers' feeding area was opened. The animals retreated to it, leaving the cleaner motionless on the ground.
Once the tigers were in the feeding area, the door separating it from the rest of the enclosure was closed, and keepers were able to reach the cleaner.
It was too late, however. Mr Nordin, who hails from Sarawak, had been bitten on the neck and suffered a fractured skull. He died before police arrived.
His colleagues later told zoo staff that the contract worker, who had been working at the zoo for about 41/2 months, had been behaving strangely minutes before the incident.
He had thrown his cutters and meal coupons about before telling them in Malay: 'Goodbye, you won't be seeing me again.'
He then rode off on his bicycle.
The Australian tourists also said they saw him shouting and throwing some things as he walked by the crocodile exhibit, just 10 minutes from the tiger enclosure.
Yesterday's incident was the first time a person had been killed by an animal at the zoo since it opened in 1973.
Before this, the most serious incident occurred in 2001, when Chawang, a bull elephant, gored his keeper of 18 years, Mr Gopal Krishnan.
The keeper suffered fractured ribs and a punctured lung, and was in hospital for close to two months before he eventually recovered.
The zoo, which had to stop the tram ride and prevent visitors from entering during the incident, said yesterday that it would close the white tiger exhibit temporarily as a precautionary measure. It did not say how long the closure would last.
It said the tigers, which are nine years old and were brought in from Sumatra in 2001, would not be put down as they had acted naturally.

Whether it was a suicide or an accident, a precious life is already lost here. Deepest condolences to the family.
Event though the tigers have been with the zoo for several years, doesn’t make them any less dangerous. They may look docile but the inborn animal instinct to hunt and attack will surface when their enclosure is encroached. They are fed with pieces of meat thrown into the enclosure daily, and he probably thought the invading man as meal and attacked. That’s why there’s always a barrier between the humans and animals in the zoo, it’s for the safety of both and we just have to observed and abide by the boundaries and just take a look from a distance.
I was just there a few weeks ago , enjoying looking at the majestic animals from a far….
This zoo attack reminded me of the time a Singaporean was attacked by a tiger in Malacca Zoo donkey years ago, It was on displayed out of it’s cage/enclosure, chained to a pole where visitors came with close contact to have pictures taken with the animal. My whole family was there just a few days before the attack, but we chicken out and didn’t even want to come close to that animal.
The woman was walking toward the tiger to be photographed but she tripped and fell right in front of it , well the hunter instinct in the animal kicked in and it bit the woman’s neck, causing heavy blood loss and death soon follow.
Facts about Singapore zoo’s white tiger:
It has three white tigers, Omar, Winnie, and Jippie.
Earlier this year, 9-year-old Omar was short-listed as a possible contender to replace Ah Meng as the zoo's icon.
The 48-year-old orang utan died suddenly during breakfast on Feb 8.
When the zoo introduced boat rides last month, one of the four boats was named after Omar.
Only one white tiger exists out of every 10,000 normal orange-coloured tigers.
A report published by the World Wildlife Fund highlighted the possible extinction of tigers within a decade if inadequate conservation measures are not taken to protect the tigers.Presently there's only about 200 white tiger in captivity, they can grow to more than 3m from nose to tail tip, and weigh more than 250kg. The big cat has30 teeth, the longest one at 7.3cm .
The white tiger is not an albino, it has black stripes and blue eyes. Albinos has completely white coats and pink eyes.
They are fed beef, pork, mutton and chicken, each day 3-5 kg of meat are tossed in the public enclosure and additional 7kg of meat are given thrice weekly in the den.
