Hot, dry days until September

Hot, dry days until September

The southwest monsoon has brought with it hotter and drier weather to peninsular Ma­­laysia and Sarawak.

Malaysian Meteorological Depart­ment (MetMalaysia) director-general Alui Bahari said the monsoon season started yesterday.

He said the southwest monsoon came after the end of the inter-monsoon period which brought heavy rains to the peninsula last month.

The monsoon is expected to last until September.

“Generally, during the southwest monsoon, the country will experience lower rainfall in the peninsula and Sarawak,” Alui said in an email.

He said there would be more dry days ahead than wet ones in these two areas during this period.

“But Sabah will receive more rain than other states” he added.

According to the MetMalaysia website, there are four seasons in Malaysia - the southwest monsoon (May to September), northeast monsoon (early November to March), and two inter-monsoon seasons in between.

Rain is only expected to return in October during the next inter-monsoon period.

The northeast monsoon will bring heavy rain to the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, west Sarawak and the northeast of Sabah.

Meanwhile, to escape the hot weather, more people have been seeking shelter in shopping malls

Malaysia Shopping Malls Asso­ciation adviser HC Chan said families would spend more time in malls when the weather got hotter.

“They will have many options in­­clu­­ding going to the restaurants and shops to escape the heat,” he said.

Chan said since the hot spell began recently, there has been a 10% increase in the number of visitors to shopping malls in the Klang Valley.

位于文冬陆佑街的文化馆尚未开幕和开放，已吸引不少民众前往参观，充满期待。

文化馆两间店屋是文冬华人大会堂主席拿督斯里罗龙年家族的产业，配合文冬旅游火热，捉紧机会大力推动历史文化之旅，不但让本地人更加了解文冬的开埠历史，也加深游客对文冬的认识，深具意义。

罗龙年：将邀廖中莱开幕

罗龙年受询表示，该馆的最后装修工程尚未完成，届时将会邀请文冬区国会议员拿督斯里廖中莱开幕和正式开放。

他也说，配合文化馆刚设立，暂时免费开放让民众参观。

他表示，该馆的宗旨为发扬先贤开拓文冬，成就大业的精神，促进人文旅游活动。说到文冬历史，就得从开埠功臣陆佑说起，欢迎到来参观文冬文化馆，亲自寻找答案。

他也说，其中一间店面作为展览馆，展示文冬开埠历史与相片，另一间楼下作为餐厅，提供蛋糕、甜品与果汁等，方便人们休憩小吃，已在日前投入营业。

文冬市议员兼华堂妇女组主席王润清与理事陈金娇率先到文化馆参观和品尝下午茶，感觉环境舒适。

王润清说，文冬拥有许多美食，包括驰名中外的猫山王榴梿、文冬姜、各类蔬菜与水果，每逢星期六晚上举办的文化街，还有其他旅游景点，如情人瀑布及热水湖，欢迎远方的朋友来作客，亲自来寻幽探秘。

保障生态旅游 文冬发展蓝图须重划

廖中莱：保障生态旅游 文冬发展蓝图须重划

交通部长拿督斯里廖中莱强调，配合东海岸铁道计划及中枢大道的推展，文冬发展大蓝图急须重新规划及拟定，确保生态旅游的既定目标不受影响。

他预测，上述两项交通枢纽的宏计完成后，将为受惠范围的文冬县带来重大发展，把东西海岸及大吉隆坡、森美兰和南马等地距离拉近，达到无隔阂衔接。

“正是发展所带来的地貌及生态改变，我已指示文冬市议会及县署进行汇报会，着手探讨保护绿色环境的工作，善用有限的绿色资源，持续通过生态旅游的形式来发展文冬。”

廖中莱也是文冬国会议员，他今早为启文上午校运动会主持开幕仪式后，向记者发表谈话。他也宣布拨款1万令吉予该校，作为活动经费。

早前，他也通过文冬区国会议员服务中心，组成一支19人的文冬生态旅游发展工作考察团向台湾取经，学习该国生态旅游的管理经验。

他说，继大马旅游及文化部认可文冬的生态旅游发展，文冬当地政府机关有必要及早规划好未来的发展，避免周边森林出现过度砍伐及开发的现象。

他说，中国湖南卫视不久后将到文冬拍摄记录片，把文冬的人文风景及故事剪接成短片，向大陆游客介绍及吸引他们前来体验文冬的生态旅游。

All airports are safe, says Liow

All airports are safe, says Liow

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has assured Malaysians that airports in the country are safe following tight security.

 "The airports are safe, and we will we will continue to strengthen our security," he told reporters after the launch of the Tun Tan Cheng Lock Centre for Social and Policy Studies at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (Sungai Long Campus).

This follows the Feb 13 murder of Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2).

The 45-year-old half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was killed at KLIA2 when two women swiped his face with a liquid. 

The liquid has since been identified as the deadly nerve agent VX, a banned chemical weapon of mass destruction.

The airport was declared cleared of any trace of the VX nerve agent after a sweep by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB), the Fire and Rescue Department and police early Sunday.
