       Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012 !

Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, literally "Christ's mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world.

A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

The Christmas season is celebrated in different ways around the world, varying by country and region. Elements common to many areas of the world include the lighting of Christmas trees, the hanging of wreaths, Christmas stockings, candy canes, and/or the creation of Nativity scenes depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas carols may be sung and stories told about such figures as the Baby Jesus, St Nicholas, Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Christianly or Grandfather Frost.

The sending of Christmas cards, the exchange of Christmastime greetings, observance of fasting and/or special religious observances such as a midnight Mass or Vespers on Christmas Eve, the burning of a Yule log, and the giving and receiving of presents.

 Along with Easter, Christmas time is one of the most important periods on the Christian calendar, and is often closely connected to other holidays at this time of year, such as Advent, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, St. Nicholas Day, St. Stephen's Day, New Year's, and the Feast of the Epiphany.

Happy Deepavali & Holiday to all Malaysian

     

We wish Happy Deepavali and Happy Holiday to all Malaysians . There may be some of us is busy visit hindu friend and excited to celebrate this blissful festival.

Deepavali, popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important festival in Hinduism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November.

The word "Deepavali" is a combination of the words ‘Dipa’ ...and ‘Gavali’, the former meaning ‘light’ and the latter meaning ‘a row’. Thus symbolizing the rows of lights that can be seen at the houses of Hindu celebrants. As light dispels darkness, this festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

It's a day of festive joy and Malaysians visit their friends of Hindu faith to extend good wishes and to partake in the feasting and jollity. At the same time, they will enjoy numerous traditional cakes and sweets for the day, among them are "murukku", "omopadi", "athirrsam", "achi murukku", "laddu" and "mysore pahu".


Last but not least, it was very interesting to know about the various festivals in Malaysia right? but in this happiness let us not forget about personal safety, especially children. If possible, refrain from letting off firecrackers because it is dangerous and will graze our happiness.

Again , May the Divine Light of Diwali Spread into your
Life Peace, Prosperity, Happiness and Good Health. Happy Deepavali & Holiday

Dear all ,

Wishing you a good fortune and happiness on this Special Mid -Autumn Festival

Today we would like to share some information with you.Mid-Autumn Festival, is one of the four traditional Chinese festivals (others are Spring Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival).

It is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month (which falls between the last), a date when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest.  Falls on September 12 this year.

 

The traditional food of this festival is the moon cake, of which there are many different varieties.

Moon cakes were elaborate sacrifices offered to Moon Goddess at the beginning. As time goes by, people have gradually integrated the activity in praise of the moon with the moon cakes. Now at the Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat moon cakes to express their homesickness and love for their family member, and their hope for a bumper harvest and a happy life, as the moon cake symbolizes family reunion.

CCTV for Taiping hot spots Govt to install 20 cameras at selected points by year end

TAIPING  (Thestar)  -  The  Government  has  approved   the installation  of  20  closed-circuit  television (CCTV)  cameras  in  crime-prone  areas  to  help  fight  crime  in  the  Taiping  district.

Deputy  Home  Minister  Datuk  Lee  Chee  Leong  said  police  had  identified  the  sites  and  all  the CCTV  cameras  would  be  installed  by  this  year.

“In  addition,  more  streetlights  will  be  erected  in  dark  alleys  to  prevent  crimes  of  opportunity.

“Areas  which  are  prone  to  snatch  thefts  will  also  be  upgraded  with  the  construction  of  pavements to  prevent  motorcyclists  from  getting  near  pedestrians  and  snatching  their  belongings,”  he  said  after  attending  a  closed-door  briefing  on  the  crime  situation  in  the  district  recently.

Also  present  were  Perak  deputy  police  chief  Senior  Asst  Comm  Datuk  Zakaria  Yusof  and  Taiping OCPD  Asst  Comm  Yusof  Mohd  Diah.

“The  police  view  public  complaints  seriously  and  will  do  their  best  to  allay  the  fear  of  the  people.

“All  reports  will  be  investigated  and  police  will  also  take  proactive  measures  in  fighting  crime,  in line  with  the  Safe  Township  concept,” he  said.

He  said  army  personnel  and  policemen  in  uniform  would  be  deployed  to  patrol  the  streets  of  Ipoh  and  Taiping,  which  recorded  the  most  number  of  felony  cases.

Six  army  personnel,  he  said,  would  conduct  rounds  with  policemen  during  peak  hours  at  strategic locations  such  as  commercial  areas  to  check  crime.

Lee,  who  is  also  the  Kampar  MP,  noted  that  there  was  a  reduction  in  crime  cases  last  year  as compared  to  2009.

He  said  the  district  had  succeeded  in  reducing  the  crime  index  by  5.2%  and  street  crimes  by 18%  for  the  whole  of  last  year.

Ipoh will have 100 CCTVs installed by 2012 to curb crime

IPOH  (Thestar)  -  Ipoh  City  Council  is  putting  up  38  more  closed-circuit  television  (CCTV)  cameras  to  watch  over  the  city  as  part  of  its  crime  prevention  initiatives.

These  cameras  will  be  installed  by  end  of  the  year  and  another  38  will  be  put  up  next  year.

Perak  Local  Government  Committee  chairman  Datuk  Dr  Mah  Hang  Soon  said  the  camera surveillance  system  was  part  of  the  state  government’s  on-going  crime  prevention  programme.

“The  surveillance  system  had  been  found  to  be  effective  in  reducing  the  city  crime  rate,”  he  said.

Clear  images:  Arif  (centre)  explaining  to  Dr  Mah (left)  the  locations  of  the  CCTVs  installed  in  Ipoh  inside  the  control  room.

Dr  Mah  said  the  government  decided  to  boost  the  number  of  the  surveillance  cameras  in  the city  after  they  found  the  first  batch  of  the  24  CCTVs  installed  five  months  ago  had  helped  them  in  fighting  crime.

“The  local  council  had  helped  the  police,  National  Anti-Drug  Agency  and  State  Religious Department  solved  31  crime  related  cases.

“The  installation  of  the  CCTV  cameras  had  paid  off.  It  is  an  effective  way  to  keep  an  eye  on  crime.

“It  has  assisted  the  local  council  in  reducing  the  crime  rate  at  the  vicinity  where  the  cameras were  installed.  Aside  from  assisting  the  police,  the  video  footages  taken  from  the  CCTVs  had also  helped  to  curb  immoral  activities,  illegal  hawkers,  illegal  parking  attendants  and  vandalism,” he  added.

Perak  police  chief  Deputy  Comm  Datuk  Mohd  Shukri Dahlan  said  the  surveillance  system  had helped  them  bring  down  the  crime rate  in  Ipoh  city.

Camouflage:  A  security  guard  (above  pic)  looking  at  a  CCTV  installed  at  Kinta  Heights.  But  most  people  are  unaware  of  the CCTVs  placed  around  town.

“The  CCTVs  provide  24-hour  live-feed  to  the  council’s  enforcement  office  and  also  to  the  Ipoh district  police  headquarters,”  he  said.

By  the  end  of  2012,  Dr  Mah  said  the  city  would  have  100  CCTVs  installed  in  and  around  Ipoh.

The  Housing  and  Local  Government  Ministry  paid  RM2.7mil  for  the  first  batch  of  CCTVs.

The  cost  of  the  other  76  CCTVs  will  be  borne  by  the  local  council.  It  will  cost  between RM2,500  and  RM3,000  to  install  each.

Dr  Mah  said  the  government  had  decided  to  invest  in  putting  up  the  CCTVs  to  ensure  Ipoh  is a  safe  city  to  live  in.

The  public,  however,  has  mixed  feelings  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  CCTVs.

Kinta  Heights  resident  Hari  Singh,  64,  said  the  CCTV  installed  at  the  council  flat  had  not  done much  to  reduce  petty  thefts  and  motorcycle  thefts.

Instead,  he said,  they  have  to  hire  guards  to  watch  over  their  flat.

Another  resident,  who  declined  to  be  named,  said  although  the  CCTVs  had  helped  the  flat dwellers  to  behave,  it  does  not  completely  stop  them  from  throwing  rubbish  from  their  units.

He  added  unscrupulous  flat  dwellers  would  throw  rubbish  down  from  an  angle  that  cannot  be captured  by  the  CCTV.

Cafe  manager  Andrew  Chin  said  he  had  no  idea  there  was  a  CCTV  fixed  near  his  workplace which  is  in  front  of  Ipoh  Padang  on  Jalan  Sultan  Yussuf

However,  he  noticed   there  had  been  a  significant  decrease  of  couples  using  the  field  at  night as  their  love  nest. 

A  75-year-old  jogger  who  only  wanted  to  be  known  as  Leong  said  there  has  also  been  a decrease  in  cars  being  broken  into  at  the  Sultan  Abdul  Aziz  recreational  park  or  better  known as  Polo  Ground  since  the  CCTVs  were  installed.

Kacang  putih  seller  R.  Chandran,  54,  felt  the  surveillance  cameras  had  played  a  significant  role in  reducing  the  crime  rate  at  the  park.

“There  are  less  robberies,  mugging  and  vehicle  break-ins  now.  I  think  the  criminals  are  wary  and  had  avoided  the  park  as  they  knew  the  area  are  being  watched,”  he  said.

24 new CCTV cameras installed, 58 more awaiting approval

PENANG  (Thestar)  -  About  one  third  of  Penang  Island  roads  and  intersections  are  now  the coverage  of  closed-circuit  television  (CCTV)  cameras.

State  Local  Government and Traffic  Management  Committee  chairman  Chow  Kon  Yeow  said  this  was  made  possible  with  an  additional  24  cameras  from  the  Housing  and  Local  Government  Ministry.

“With  these  additional  CCTV  cameras,  Penang  island  now  has  a  total  of  56  cameras”.

“The  24  new  cameras,  which  cost  RM2.87mil  to  install,  became  operational  on  March  31,”  he  said  when  giving  reporters  a  tour  of  the  Penang  Integrated  Public  Safety  Command  Centre  in  Komtar.

He  said  in  a  joint  effort  with  the  police,  MPPP  had  previously  installed  31  cameras  in  crime  hotspots  and  these  cameras  had  been  operational  since  February  2008.

MPPP  engineering  department  senior  engineer  A.  Rajendran  said  the  council  had  installed  one  more  camera  on  Jalan  Sungai  earlier  this  year,  with  two more  planned  for  the  Komtar  bus  terminal  in  August.

The  areas  covered  by  the  24  new  cameras  include  the  Tun  Dr  Lim  Chong  Eu  Expressway,  Jalan  Air  Itam,  Jalan  Boundary,   Weld Quay,  Queensbay  Mall,  Several  areas  in the  Free  Industrial  Zone  in Bayan  Lepas,  Bayan  Baru,  Tanjuung  Tokong,  Tanjung  Bungah  and  Batu  Ferringhi.

Rajendran  said  the  new  cameras  were  connected  using  fibre  optics,  unlike  the  previous  cameras  that  ran  on  a  4.9GHz  broadband  wireless  system.

“The  picture  from  the  fibre  optics  is  much  sharper  and  with  the  cameras  able  to  turn  360  degrees  horizontally,  as  well  as  90  degrees  vertically,  we  get  a  very  good  picture  of  what  is  happening  on  the  street,”  he  said.

Such  footages,  he  added,  had  helped  police  detect  crimes  and  accidents  as  well  as  settle  traffic  disputes.

Chow  added  that  the  state  was  still  waiting  for  a  reply  from  the  Federal  Government  on  an  additional  58  CCTV  cameras  that  they  had  requested  under  the  National  Result  Areas  programme  in  2009.

“Out  of  these  58  cameras,  36 are proposed  for  the  island  while  the  other  22  will  cover  Seberang  Prai,”  he added.
