JOHOR BARU: This year’s Ops Sikap in Johor held in conjunction with Chinese New Year will focus on 40 accident-prone sites in addition to monitoring trunk roads and highways. State internal security, public order and traffic chief Supt T. Raveendran said that 300 personnel would be deployed in the two-week operation that began yesterday and due to end on Feb 21. “The focus is accident-prone areas. We will also monitor the usual roads that are congested before and after Chinese New Year. “We will carry out checks on motorcyclists who make up 60% of the road deaths in the state,” he said.

MUAR: Johor Baru recorded the highest number of dengue cases in the state at the start of 2010 with 35 cases reported up to Jan 9 this year. The city has four areas regarded as hot spots namely Taman Dahlia, Taman Century, Taman Desa Cemerlang and Taman Megah Ria.
State Women, Family, Health and Community Development Committee chairman Dr Robia Kosai said the number of cases showed that city residents still kept water containers around their homes. “These containers and uncollected rubbish make good breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes.

You may have noticed the Health Department officials doing residential checks on homes for mosquito breeding grounds and also their regular foggings. Please have a look around your house to remove potential mosquito breeding areas. Everyone needs to help out here.

Every Chinese New Year (CNY), my old schoolmates and I meet up at Segamat Country Club or another friend's house for a reunion of sorts. This happens with other groups too. I suggest that we use this blog to organise reunions. A suggestion is to list your School Name, Year of graduation (Form 5/6), place and time to meet and a contact number. Some names would also be useful. I always find it a very happy time to meet up with old friends, some of whom I haven't seen in over 20 years!

An excellent article from Max Loh
When I started my planter career in Pukin Estate, Keratong, Pahang on 18 July 1978, I and my wife decided to make Segamat our home base for our family. We rented a wooden house in Fong Jang Park, Jalan Buloh Kasap. My eldest daughter was then less than 2 years old. Our other 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls, were born in Segamat in 1979, 1980, 1982 and 1984 respectively. To my children, Segamat is their hometown where they had grew up and received their primary and secondary education. There are also quite of number of planters and palm oil mill engineers who have settled down in Segamat and brought up their children here.

 Chinese New Year is a time of reunion and celebration for the Chinese community. Families will gather in Segamat from all over the country and all over the world. For people working in big towns like Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang, and those living overseas like United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, this may be their once in a year trip back home to Segamat.
