Durian day tour to Pontian, Segamat
Every June and July, Max Pac Travel takes up to 15 coaches of Singaporeans, about 600 people, to Pontian and Segamat to have unlimited helpings of farm-fresh durians.
Aficionados can opt out of the buffet to savour premium cultivars - Hong Xia, D13 and D101 at RM10 per kg, and Mao Shan Wang at RM20 per kg. Segamat trippers can work up a sweat after the durian feast by trekking up a concrete stairway to reach Puteri Waterfall on Mount Ophir, which is popular among amateur climbers. The Pontian trip includes a batik workshop.
The price for an adult starts from $65 and includes a durian buffet and seafood dinner in Johor Bahru. Children pay $3 less. Details at maxpac.com.sg.

EVERY DAY except on rainy days, Bukit Sengkang in Jementah, Segamat, is dotted with mountain climbers along its snaking path. Although most of them are locals, there are those who come from as far as Tangkak and Segamat town. Some of them brave it alone while others come with friends or family members. From 4pm onwards, they will begin their daily 'pilgrimage' to the hilltop.

IN two months, Ahmad Shuhari A. Hijazi will retire from his job as KTM Berhad's traffic assistant at the Tanjong Pagar station. The 56-year-old joined the railway company on Jan 1, 1980 as a train supervisor before he was promoted to his present position in 1990. In rail language, he is nicknamed the 'signalman'. His job is to signal all incoming and outgoing trains at the station to ensure smooth traffic flow. Without his service, the station would be like a traffic junction with faulty traffic lights.

THROUGHOUT history, man has always taken pride in customising his mode of transport. The earliest form of “vehicle mod” can be traced back to probably when horses were domesticated and individualised in every way imaginable. Native Americans painted them, knights donned them with colourful linen and cowboys saddled them with studded silver.
Fast forward to the era of the automobile and vehicle customisation has become a huge fad – a platform for artistic automotive expression. Rims or customised wheels are among the most popular upgrades that can help boost your vehicle’s resale value, says a tyre agent. But let’s talk about resale value. The common automobile, like almost everything else on this planet, starts to depreciate in value as time goes by. Car modifications, as pleasing as they may seem in the eye of the beholder, generally tend to knock down the value of one’s car even further when compared to a non-customised or “stock” vehicle.
Used Autos Sdn Bhd owner Peter Wong, a Segamat-based used car dealer, explains: “The idea of vehicle modifications screams personalisation, meaning that the car is meant to suit the owner’s individual needs and no one else. “Because the vehicle will now end up looking totally different from what the manufacturer intended, the range of buyers you can attract will be limited.”

From Johor Buzz By Sim Bak Heng 2010/03/18
A VISITOR lays a sumptuous spread on the ground and stands aside. Then he calls out “Taiko, Taiko, Lai Lai Lai! (Big brother, come, come, come!)”. Within minutes, it was not humans but a herd of wild boars that of different sizes emerged from the forest and headed towards the direction of food. The animals did not seem to be afraid of people and some of itthem would even get close enough to be hand-fed with buns by visitors. who bring leftover food from restaurants and as well as buns.
