When I was young, I only remembered two persons whom people like to impersonate. Elvis and Michael, and most of the time was during school talent time, but nowadays, people are getting to far. Impersonating the Tunku Mahkota Johor.

Two Men Detained For Investigation On Individual Impersonating The TMJ On Facebook
The police have detained two men to assist investigations into a case of an individual impersonating the Tunku Mahkota Johor, Tunku Ismail Idris Sultan Ibrahim , in a Facebook website.

Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the two men, aged 31 and 33, were detained about 1.30am today at a house in Taman Seri Majidee, Johor Baharu. Two laptops and a handphone were seized from the duo, he told reporters here Tuesday.

The facebook accounts, purportedly by the TMJ, were handled by an individual who went by the moniker “Milky”. Besides uploading the pictures and activities of Tunku Ismail, the individual concerned also entertained comments by followers who were misled into thinking that he was the prince.

RACISM

The other news is about racism. We just celebrated our 53rd Merdeka yesterday, but seems like racism is getting out of control. People with a sound mind would not have any problems to ignore the remarks made but extremist may take it differently.

Chua calls for action against racism
MCA wants the authorities to act against those making racist remarks including controversial rapper Wee Meng Chee or better known as Namewee and the two school heads in Johor and Kedah.

Its president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said the government should be firm in rejecting all forms of extremism, be it racial or religious.

On Aug 12, a headmistress of a school in KulaiJaya was alleged to have made racist remarks to a multi-racial group of students during a pre-Merdeka celebration. Read more at Sun2Surf.

More S’pore investments expected in Iskandar

JOHOR BARU: Iskandar Malaysia can expect more investments from Singapore in the economic growth corridor with the improvement in bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore.

Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim said there was now a feel-good factor on both sides of the causeway following the positive diplomatic relations.

He said the new development augur well for Iskandar and that it had been busy hosting trade visits by Singapore investors and companies to South Johor.

“Previously, Singapore investors were reluctant to invest in a huge way in Johor for reasons they knew best, but this has changed now,’’ Ismail said in an interview with StarBiz.

Ismail Ibrahim says there is now a feelgood factor on both sides of the causeway following the positive diplomatic relations.

He said that just a week after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s visit to the republic in May, Irda hosted a trade delegation by 92 members of the Singapore Business Federation.

Ismail said it would receive several trade delegations representing a wide spectrum of Singapore industries to Iskandar this and next month, alongside private visits by investors there.

He said many were taking the cue from the commitment shown by Najib and his counterpart Lee Hsien Loong for the two countries to work closely for mutual economic benefits.

This, Ismail said, was reflected in the involvement of Malaysia and Singapore’s investment arms, Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Temasek Holdings Ltd, to jointly develop an iconic wellness township project in a 50:50 joint venture in Iskandar.

According to Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, who is also Irda’s co-chairman with Najib, the project would be developed on a 202ha site in Danga Bay here and works were likely to start by the year-end.

“By engaging Khazanah and Temasek, both prime ministers are sending a clear signal and message to investors that Iskandar is attractive to local and foreign investors,’’ Ismail said.

He said that of the RM741mil invested in manufacturing projects in Iskandar in the first five months of the year, RM221mil in 12 projects came from Singapore, mainly in the electrical and electronics, machine and engineering support services, food processing and metal fabrication.

From 2006 to May 2010, there were 217 projects from Singapore including new and expansion projects amounting to RM3.17bil, the majority of which was in the manufacturing sector, making the city-state the second largest investor in Johor after Spain with its stainless steel plant in Tanjung Langsat, Pasir Gudang.

Ismail said Malaysia and Singapore could collaborate in the biotechnology sector, banking on Singapore’s strength in the research field while Johor’s rich biodiversity in flora and fauna offered endless bioprospecting activities.

Many hotels are not making full use of their online presence. They have websites but not with the latest information. Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru is an example. Overall the website looks good. It have all the basic info of the hotels such as its facilities and rates. However it does not display all the latest information.

A friend is coming to JB and will be staying there. He was asking about Ramadhan Buffet since he is not driving. So, I went there to take the leaflet above for him and posted here for his reference. RM58 for an adult and RM29 for children for berbuka puasa. There are more than 99 varieties of food selections. The chefs specialty includes rendang tok, roasted leg of lamb, durian fritters, nasi kerabu and more. Surau is also available at level 3 of the hotel.

So, if any of you is interested, you can call 07-268 5222 for reservation.

I got this in my wife’s facebook account. After she told me, I immediately posted this here. I hope the girl will be found safe as soon as possible.
