Kota Kinabalu South Bus Terminal at Kapayan

Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament, Dr. Hiew King Cheu welcomes the announcement by the City Mayor, Datuk Illyas Ibrahim on the proposed “South Bus Terminal” next to the Kota Kinabalu Airport, at Kapayan.

The proposed South Bus Terminal will receive the buses from the south (Brunei, Sipitang, Beaufort and Papar etc.), and including those from the interior districts (Keningau, Tenom and Tambunan). To stop at the Kapayan South Bus Terminal will effectively reduce the traffic volume in the city centre.

Dr. Hiew said he supports the proposal of the construction of this South Bus Terminal, and he had visited the City Hall after hearing the announcement by the City Mayor. He was briefed that the project is to be located on a piece of 30 acres land near and next to the KK international airport (KKIA), opposite the Police Headquarter in Kapayan, just next to the airport control tower. This location is definitely suitable for the bus terminal, because it is next to the airport (walking distance), easy connecting to all directions and the routes into KK city. The land area is large and adequate to house many other facilities like the terminal building, car parks and other services. The outstation cars can park here and go down to work in the KK city centre by using the connecting shuttle buses. It will effectively get at least 1000 cars off from parking at the town centre, and much saving for a lot of car owners.

DBKK wants to solve quickly the traffic congestion and the car park problem in KK City, and this is one quick way to solve the problem. The City Hall urgently needed the federal financial assistant of RM 50 millions to develop the terminal is understandable. Since the bus terminal is also the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Transport, therefore the Minister of Transport Datuk Ong Tee Keat should respond immediately to the request from Sabah. At the mean while, DBKK will commence to clear the location for the new South Bus Terminal and fencing work.

Dr. Hiew said he will ask in Parliament when will the allocation be made? He will write to the Minister Datuk Ong on this matter, to seek his assistance to give out the grant soonest possible.

位于亚庇甘拜园的南方巴士终站
亚庇国会议员邱庆洲博士非常赞成市长拿督依利雅士所宣布有关拟议建设在甘拜园，靠近亚庇国际机场的‘南方巴士终站’的计划及地点。

该拟议的南方巴士终站的大型巴士来自于沙巴州南部地区如汶莱，实必丹，保佛和吧巴等地区，以及包括来自内地县属如根地咬 ，丹南和坦布南等地区。 设立巴士终站在甘拜园将有效地减少在亚庇市中心的交通拥堵及缺少泊车位的问题。这些问题是亚庇市长期以来未解决的难题。

邱博士说，他非常支持该建议计划，并且当市长宣布了该计划之后，他也前往市政厅听取该计划的详情，以进一步了解。 他被告知说该计划是位于亚庇国际机场左邻及在甘拜园警察总部的对面，该地约有三十多英亩，就在机场控制塔的前方。 这个位置肯定是最适合建造巴士终站，因为它是位在机场附近及步行的距离，所以很容易转搭其他地区的巴士前往市中心。 该土地面积够大，足够容纳许多其他的设施，如候车室，停车场和其他用途。 外来的上班族的车辆也可停放在这里的大停车场，然后转搭穿梭巴士前往市中心工作。 这将有效的减少至少一千多辆的汽车停泊在市中心，并且能帮助许多车主节省时间及费用。

亚庇市政厅希望能尽快的解决亚庇市中心的交通挤塞和泊车位的问题，而这南方终站将是一个最快速及有效的解决方法。 市政厅急需联邦政府的五千万马币的拨款来支援该工程。 由于巴士终站及客运也是在联邦交通部的职责管辖之内，因此交通部长拿督翁诗杰应该对沙巴州亚庇市政厅的要求立即作出反应，而不能再续拖延。 以期同时，亚庇市政厅将会开工清除该地点的建筑物及围上篱笆。
邱博士说，他将会在国会要求部长作出适当的拨款让该南方终站落实开工兴建。 他也将会呈上信件给部长拿督翁诗杰有关该项拨款问题，寻求援助。

TOKYO (NQN)--Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (8306) shares fell slightly Thursday morning, after opening higher as some buyers stepped in hoping to catch a technical rebound.

The KL-Singapore bullet train project was mooted as far back as 2006. Till today, nothing came of it. Mark Mobius of Templeton Emerging Markets was in KL recently and was asked what were the competitive advantages or sectors that Malaysia had an edge in. He said, and I agreed, plantations and tourism. We are doing well enough in plantations, even though it appears only IOI Corp is moving up the entire value chain and integrating the processes vertically and horizontally - what are the other plantation companies doing? Many are still happy to be planting and harvesting then selling, there are plenty of value add processes to palm oil in order to transform them into various other uses. While we have our R&D in plantation, we still need to pump it up with a more open collaborative research institute to get at fresher ideas of how to further enhance the usage of palm oil. Why don't we give out 5 sponsored Phds for foreign students that do higher research in palm oil related studies every year, and give them 3 year stints after that at PORLA? Why don't we establish one or two chairs for renown research scientists in food/plant biology/ chemistry or related subjects within PORLA to further energise the unit. Don't just employ local research staffers, it stunts our way of thinking, you need a different perspective, a fresher way of looking at things all the time.Now onto the second part, tourism, we have so much potential but its all over the place. We have tons of beaches, diving spots, natural rainforests, caves, etc... eco-tourism is the way forward. Only we have that kind of tourism, .... you can do your Disneyland or Universal Studio or casinos, those things can be transplanted anytime anywhere within a couple of years. We need a cohesive strategy to manage the operators, grade them continually, have a strong tourism police force to check and evaluate the operators, have a site that grades and allows access to all the licensed operators. Bad hats will be punished severely. The operators within a region will have to do their part with the help of Tourism Ministry to maintain the "essence, integrity and longevity" of the eco-toursim spots.Now, for a tourist, they have to search in the dark, rely on recommendations from friends, to get to interesting places. Already we have such a strong platform, the best run and cheapest budget airline in Asia as a base.The second idea, which is critical as well, is to build the Singapore-KL bullet train. It is best to extend the ERL line. Why sit on it for 3 years??? It is so viable and the multiplier effects will be fantastic. Malaysia has the cheapest 5 star hotels in Asia, period. Malaysia has the best food in Asia, period. Most of our neighbours love to come to visit, especially Singaporeans, but have you seen the weekend jams at the causeway? The difference in currency is also a strong power puller.Imagine a trip from KL-Singapore taking 90 minutes, add 30 minutes for the wait and checking in and checking out. Two hours and you are in KL, can you imagine the crowd. Heck, you can be very profitable even by charging RM50-RM100 per one way trip, yes, you can rip the bus travel to shreds. If you add one stop at Melaka, well you know how many new hotels will be built around Melaka? It takes the stress out of driving.The bullet train has multiplier effects on both cities because the project basically makes KL a suburb of Singapore, and Singapore a suburb of KL, you basically enlarged the urban population of both cities overnight. You will find on most days and probably weekends that 1/5 of the people having fun in that city will be from the other city. On special occasions, it will be even more pronounced.On the business front, there are plenty of companies, especially foreign companies that will set up offices in KL instead of Singapore. With the bullet train, they could literally take the 7am train and start meeting clients in Singapore from 10am onwards, he/she could meet 4 clients and have lunch with one, do a bit of shopping and take the 6pm train back and still be home in KL by 9pm. All that for RM100??? Just the thought of relocating from Singapore to KL would save a company some two-thirds in costs immediately. There are plenty of these type of enhanced business contacts and privileges that comes with the bullet train project. Gawd! Its only RM8bn, it the oil subsidy bill for a few months!!! If you can afford the RM60bn stimulus bill, you can tag on another RM8bn that would have very strong long term multiplier benefits to many sectors of our economy. This is the exact kind of big projects that moves us UP THE VALUE CHAIN!!! This is exactly, what we need.Don't worry about Singapore, they would be more than happy to participate. They are pragmatic enough, just that we are not. Such a project will need strong parties to pull this off as there are vested interests involved. I would suggest the following: YTL 40%; SIA 20%; MAS 20%; UEM 20%. Now why would I want UEM inside?The bullet train project will be critical in jump starting the Nusajaya project as well. Right now, there are some people working in Singapore that travels daily to Singapore from Nusajaya. Can you imagine the flow on effects if there is a connecting line from Nusajaya???Imagine this, there is an express train every hour from Kl-Singapore on the hour. Once every 3 hours, the train will stop at Melaka and Nusajaya, i.e. one in every 3 trains is not express. The Nusajaya line will be made up of a separate line on its own with 4 stations, each station will be attached to a huge parking area. These 4 stations will lead to Nusajaya. There will be a train running direct from Nusajaya to Singapore Raffles Place direct every 30 minutes during peak travel period, and reduces to 1 hour on non-peak.Watch the properties in Nusajaya being snapped up, watch the plethora of Singapore companies jumping to invest in other sectors in Nusajaya.Sigh... another National Service , another idea that will not get me my datukship... another idea for free... wait it gets better, the second phase of the project will go north bound, half an hour for Ipoh-KL (gee, many might even move back to Ipoh to work in KL), one hour for KL-Penang (Singaporeans will laugh, 2.5 hours from Singapore-Penang, food glorious food), and the piece `de resistance... KL-Hatyai in 3 hours, which makes Singapore-Hatyai in just 5.5 hours ... The collective urbanisation of these cities will recharge the business activity in each and every city, it will in effect double, even triple the "population effect" of each city.

fake bull ? dun worry, the chart will tell when this is fake

April 7 (Bloomberg) -- George Soros, the billionaire hedge- fund manager who made money last year while most peers suffered losses, said the four-week rally by U.S. stocks isn’t the start of a bull market because the economy is still shrinking.
“It’s a bear-market rally because we have not yet turned the economy around,” Soros, 78, said in an interview yesterday with Bloomberg Television, referring to a temporary rebound in stock prices. “This is not a financial crisis like all the other financial crises that we have experienced in our lifetime.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of the largest U.S. companies has gained 24 percent since March 9 on optimism that the worst of the 16-month U.S. recession is over. The economy continues to contract, and there’s a risk the U.S. falls into a depression, Soros said.
“As long as we deal with this in a multilateral and more or less coordinated way, I think we’ll get through,” he said.
Soros gave a mostly positive review of the President Barack Obama’s administration.
“He’s done very well in every area, except in dealing with the recapitalization of the banks and the restructuring of the mortgage market,” said Soros, who has published an updated paperback version of his book “The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means (Scribe Publications, 2009). “There, unfortunately, there’s just a little bit too much continuity with the previous administration.”
U.S. stocks fell for the first time in five days yesterday on concern that government measures to shore up banks may not help as much as expected and loan losses will exceed levels from the Great Depression. Soros said the banking system is “seriously under water” with banks on “life support.”
‘Zombie’ Banks
“They are weighed down by a lot of bad assets, which are still declining in value,” he said in the interview in his New York office. “The amount is difficult to estimate, but I think it’s in the region of maybe a trillion-and-a-half dollars.”
Soros said the change to fair-value accounting rules will keep troubled banks in business, stalling a U.S. recovery.
“This is part of the muddling-through scenario where we are going to keep zombie banks alive,” Soros said. “It’s going to sap the energies of the economy.”
The Financial Accounting Standards Board last week relaxed so-called mark-to-market rules, allowing banks to use “significant” judgment in gauging prices of some investments on their books. While analysts said the measure may reduce writedowns and boost net income, investor advocates and accounting-industry groups said it will help financial institutions hide their true health.
Nationalization Bugaboo
“This bugaboo of nationalizing the banks, which President Obama has determined not to do, the result is that we are nationalizing only one side of the balance sheet,” Soros said. “We gradually take over the deficits on the balance sheet. But we are not actually going to benefit from the banks recovering.”
Money being injected into banks under government rescue programs should be used to finance new leading, according to Soros. He said he participated in HSBC Holdings Plc’s rights offer, which raised about $17.7 billion last week.
Soros’s firm oversees $21 billion. Its Quantum Endowment Fund returned 8 percent in 2008. That compared with an average loss of 19 percent by hedge funds, according to data compiled by Hedge Fund Research Inc. of Chicago. The fund is up 5.2 percent this year through February, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Soros was ranked as last year’s fourth-highest paid hedge fund manager with about $1.1 billion, according to Institutional Investor’s Alpha magazine.
Hedge-Fund Regulation
Soros said hedge funds should be regulated like other financial firms and that it would be appropriate for authorities to monitor positions to see whether some managers have “excessive exposure.”
The Group of 20 leaders said last week that they would extend oversight to all financial institutions deemed vital to global financial stability, including for the first time “systemically important” hedge funds. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said last month he wants to bring hedge funds, private-equity firms and derivatives markets under federal supervision for the first time.
“The hedge funds that have used excessive leverage have actually failed or are on the way out, so I don’t think this is going to do any damage or hurt the hedge funds except for the fact that they have to fill out more forms,” Soros said.
“Recognizing that markets are inherently unstable does require a different kind of regulation than we had in the past,” he said.
Hungarian Ruling
Soros’s Soros Fund Management LLC was last month fined 489 million forint ($2.2 million) for attempting to manipulate the share price of OTP Bank Nyrt., Hungary’s largest bank, the country’s financial regulator said.
The Soros fund attempted on Oct. 9 to “send out false or misleading signals about a security’s supply and demand or its share price” and short sold OTP shares, the regulator, known as PSZAF, said in a statement late yesterday. The short selling caused the shares to drop 14 percent in the final 30 minutes of trade, the regulator said. Soros apologized for the trade and said the fund had started an internal investigation.
Soros said that the U.S. housing market hasn’t reached a trough, even as transactions in some areas such as California have increased.
“There are some signs of hitting bottom, but we are not there yet,” he said. “A lot has been done to forestall foreclosures.”
China’s Stimulus
Hungarian-born Soros gained fame in the 1990s when he broke the Bank of England’s defense of the pound and drove the currency from Europe’s system of linked exchange rates. He also successfully bet that Germany’s mark would rise after the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and Japanese stocks would start to fall in the same year.
Soros said China’s economic growth will accelerate before the end of the year.
“They have a pretty big stimulus package,” he said. “They are going to use more, because not being a democracy, the leadership knows that their very survival, the avoidance of social unrest, requires them to generate growth.”
China’s economy in the fourth quarter grew 6.8 percent from the same period a year earlier, lagging the 9 percent expansion in all of 2008 and 13 percent in 2007. Industrial output growth slowed, forcing thousands of factories to close and leaving about 20 million migrant workers jobless.
Brazil’s economy will resume growth “relatively soon,” helped by Chinese demand for iron ore and soybeans, Soros said.
“I think Brazil actually, together with China, will be among the recovering countries. I think the outlook for Brazil is better than for most other countries.”
