Dubai catat sejarah penggunaan Google Maps
DUBAI - Dubai mencatat sejarah sebagai bandar raya pertama di rantau Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara (MENA) yang memuatkan rangkaian pengangkutan awamnya dalam Google Maps, kata Pihak Berkuasa Jalan Raya dan Pengangkutan (RTA) Dubai.
RTA berkata, langkah ini bertujuan, antara lain, memudahkan pengguna bas awam, termasuk penduduk dan pelancong, merancang perjalanan mereka.
Ketua Eksekutif Sektor Sokongan Teknikal Korporat RTA, Abdullah Al Madani berkata, langkah memuat naik pelbagai maklumat tentang pengangkutan dalam Google Maps itu juga bertujuan memantapkan lagi skim 'Perancang Perjalanan' yang dilancarkan awal tahun ini.
"Inisiatif baru ini sudah pasti akan membolehkan sebahagian besar bakal pengguna dari seluruh dunia mempunyai akses kepada rangkaian pengangkutan awam di seluruh wilayah Dubai," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini.
RTA berkata, kini Dubai menyertai lebih 50 bandar raya kosmopolitan yang mempunyai rangkaian pengangkutan awam canggih di dunia seperti London, Paris, New York dan Zurich, menggunakan teknologi itu. - BERNAMA

Menurut Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM), perkembangan ini akan membantu meningkatkan lagi usaha untuk menembusi pasaran Timur Tengah.
"Berdasarkan kepada hasil ekspo berkenaan, saya rasa Timur Tengah termasuk negara-negara Majlis Kerjasama Teluk (GCC), mempunyai potensi yang besar untuk produk makanan laut dari Malaysia," kata Ketua Pengarah LKIM Datuk Mustafa Ahmad kepada Bernama.
Mustafa mengetuai delegasi yang terdiri daripada wakil dari Persatuan Nelayan Kebangsaan Malaysia, Ambang Wibawa Sdn. Bhd., Seiko Marine Products Sdn. Bhd., Ocean Pac Sdn. Bhd., Golden Fresh Sdn. Bhd. dan Butterworth Iceworks Sdn. Bhd.
Menurut beliau, bakal pembeli dan peniaga dari Timur Tengah akan dijemput mengambil bahagian pada pameran makanan laut di Malaysia tahun depan.
"Kita akan mengatur lawatan ke kilang pemprosesan makanan laut kita bagi membolehkan mereka melihat dengan lebih dekat proses pengeluaran kita dengan harapan ini akan menghasilkan lebih banyak urus niaga perniagaan," katanya.
Mustafa menasihat pengeluar makanan laut Malaysia supaya menunjukkan komitmen sepenuhnya kepada kualiti dalam usaha mereka untuk melebarkan sayap ke luar negara.
"Mereka perlu berusaha untuk memenuhi piawaian Kesatuan Eropah dan piawaian antarabangsa yang lain untuk terus berkembang di luar negara," katanya.
Semasa menyokong kenyataan Mustafa itu, konsul pertanian Malaysia di Dubai, Abdul Razak Ahmad berkata, pembekal makanan laut Malaysia perlu mengambil kesempatan terhadap permintaan yang tinggi untuk produk makanan laut di Timur Tengah.
"Mereka perlu melihat rantau ini selain sasaran biasa seperti Jepun, Amerika Syarikat dan yang lainnya," kata beliau. — Bernama

Malaysian Seafood Suppliers Rake Up Deals Worth Millions In Dubai
DUBAI, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- Six Malaysian companies which took part in the Dubai Seafood Expo 2009 here recently recorded an estimated US$4.9 million in confirmed and potential sales.
The Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM) said it was encouraged by the result, noting that this would bode well for efforts to further penetrate the Middle East market.
"Based on the outcome of the exhibition, I think that the Middle East, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, holds great potential for seafood products from Malaysia," LKIM director-general Datuk Mustafa Ahmad told Bernama.
Mustafa had led a delegation comprising representatives from the National Fishermen's Association of Malaysia, Ambang Wibawa Sdn Bhd, Seiko Marine Products Sdn Bhd, Ocean Pac Sdn Bhd, Golden Fresh Sdn Bhd and Butterworth Iceworks Sdn Bhd.
According to him, potential traders and buyers from the Middle East will be invited to participate in a seafood exhibition in Malaysia next year.
"We'll arrange visits to our seafood processing plants to enable them to have a closer look at our production processes in the hope that this will result in further business transactions," he said.
Mustafa advised Malaysian seafood producers to show unparalleled commitment to quality in their bid to spread their wings abroad.
"They must strive to fulfil the European Union and other international standards to go further afield," he said.
Supporting Mustafa's sentiment, Malaysian agriculture consul in Dubai, Abdul Razak Ahmad, said Malaysian seafood suppliers must take advantage of the voracious appetite for seafood products in the Middle East.
"They should look at this region besides the usual targets like Japan, the United States and others," he said.

Radicare Eyes More Opportunities In Middle East
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- Realmild Facilities Management Sdn Bhd through its subsidiary Radicare (M) Sdn Bhd is set to explore more opportunities in the Middle East.
The company, which provides integrated facilities management (IFM), has carved its name in the Asian market and is now trying to strengthen its position in the Middle East with a project in hand in Dubai.
"The market demand for IFM in the Middle East is very encouraging and we are looking forward to a better future there," said Realmild's general manager for information technology and procurement, Hidaya Yahaya.
He said the Dubai project contributed about RM10 million annually to Radicare's turnover of RM400 million.
He was speaking to reporters after a signing ceremony between Realmild and SAS Malaysia on strategic planning and budgeting for growth.
SAS Malaysia, a business intelligence and analytical software service provider, will help Radicare to reduce the cost of budget preparation through automating non-productive tasks like data consolidation and re-keying data.
Hidaya said the company aimed to save 10 per cent annually from its operational cost from the agreement with SAS Malaysia.
"This signing is only the first phase which covers the financial and budgeting sector. There will be another phase which covers operation management and human resources by end of this year," he said.
Hidaya said for the second phase, the management was looking at the proposals from various companies, including SAS Malaysia.
He said the company's investment for the first phase was around RM250,000 while the investment for the second phase had not been finalised yet.
Realmild is an 18-year-old investment holding company of Radicare and Labuan Shipyard. Its core operations are integrated healthcare facilities management, heavy engineering, maintenance and supply of defence technologies, logistics and capital development.

Sazali Adds Another World Title In Dubai
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- National bodybuilder Sazali Samad added another world title to his impressive collection after winning the bantamweight title at the 1st World Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Federation (WBPF) Championships in Dubai, United Arab Emirates which ended Sunday.
Batu Pahat-born Sazali edged four other top contenders -- Alaa Hlail Mohsin (Iraq), Somkhit Sumelhowetchakun (Thailand), Nguyen Van Lam (Vietnam) and Milef Ahmed Alghamdf (Saudia Arabia) for the title.
Sazali had won Mr Universe titles at the world championship in Melaka (2000), Moscow (2004), Ostrava, Czech Republic (2006), all in the bantamweight category and Jeju Island, South Korea (2007) in the lightweight category.
Meanwhile, debutant Buda Anak Ancang from Sri Aman, Sarawak, surprised the Malaysian camp by finishing fourth in a field that included five prominent bodybuilders -- Pongkan Jiraphan (Thailand), Yousif Ahmed Hasan (Iraq), Mohamad Azli Jumat (Brunei Darussalam) and Heydari Mahdi (Iran).
Malaysian Body Building Federation (MBBF) Honorary secretary Lt Com Kamaruzaman Kadir said though Sazali's win was expected, Buda's achievement was unexpected, considering the strong field of contenders and the fact that he was competing for the first time.
"Buda's achievement in the flyweight is a result of several months of hard work," he told Bernama when contacted in Dubai today.
The six-member Malaysian contingent to WBPF Championship which started on Nov 3, was led by MBBF president Datuk Wira Gan Boon Leong.
Besides Sazali and Buda, two other national bodybuilders competed in the championship, Mohd Syarul Azman Mahen Abdullah (lightweight) and Othman Yahya (light heavyweight).

Negri Sembilan Malaysia Cup Champions
Saturday, November 7, 2009
Negri Sembilan team celebrate after winning the Malaysia Cup by defeating Kelantan 3-1 at the National Stadium on November 8, 2009.
NEGRI SEMBILAN 3
Shahruain Abu Samah (18 min)
Hairuddin Omar (46 min)
Zaquan Adha (59 min)
KELANTAN 1
Indra Putra Mahayuddin (90 min)
KUALA LUMPUR, (Stadiumastro) - Kelantan's bid to end their first silverwear since 1921 fell apart when they lost 3-1 to Negri Sembilan at the Malaysia Cup final on Saturday.
Kelantan’s two previous appearances in the Malaysia Cup finals ended in defeats to Singapore (1-3) in 1955 and Perak (0-2) in 1970.
The Red Warriors, who not only went home empty handed, but are now looking at a hefty fine and even a ban after their fans set fire to chairs and set off fireworks during the match.
Negri, who rode on their underdog status ahead of the match, did their talking on the pitch. A solid strike by Shahruain Abu Samah in the 18th minute followed by a header by Hairuddin Omar and Zaquan Adha's penalty sealed the game at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
Kelantan earned their consolation goal through Indra Putra Mahayuddin in the closing stages of the game.
But it was a fiery start at both ends as Kelantan's Norfarhan Muhammad's tackle on Negri's Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak in the eighth minute left the defender needing treatment.
After a rough start, Negri went ahead in the 18th minute through a brilliant strike from Shahruain Abu Samah from the edge of the box. He took advantage of a miskick by Kelantan defender Zamri Ramli.
Still reeling from the goal, Kelantan were again tested when Shahruain sent a glancing header off a corner that forced a diving save from goalkeeper Halim Napi.
At the other end of the pitch, Kelantan captain Indra Putra received the ball from midfield and took on the Negri defence but was blocked by Farizal Harun.
In the 23rd minute, Negri's Mohd Alif Shamsudin was flashed a yellow card when he tripped Norfarhan from behind.
Rain started to fall in the 24th minute but it did little to slow the tempo of play that kept moving from end to end.
Idris Abdul Karim was the second Negri player to be booked when he brought down Kelantan's Daudsu Jamaluddin.
Negri continued to attack as Zaquan used his pace to past the Kelantan defenders but his cross to Hairuddin went to waste after the forward misplaced his shot in the 44th minute as the first half ended 1-0.
Negri came out a full minute earlier than Kelantan after the break and hardly 23 seconds went by before Negri scored again.
Zaquan received a pass on the right and turned a defender before sending a pinpoint cross into the box that found Hairuddin who headed in with the Kelantan defence rooted.
The sea of red Red Warrior fans who vastly outnumbered the Negri fans were a frustrated lot, but things would get worse for them.
A loose ball from midfield was picked up by Shahruain but he was brought down by Zamri Ramli just as he made his way into the box and the referee pointed to the spot.
Zaquan made no mistake from the spot sending Halim Napi the wrong way in the 59th minute as Negri were up 3-0.
The brilliant and exciting atmosphere that greeted the start of the match deteriorated quickly as the Kelantan banners fell all around the stadium. Bottles were flung onto the pitch as were fireworks.
Firemen on standyby were also called into action when a chair caught fire in the Kelantan stands as the action moved away from the pitch and into the stands.
But Kelantan could not string together a decent attack and were having to make do with half chances.
Kelantan then earned their consolation goal through Indra Putra who scored from a free-kick that gave no chance to goalkeeper Farizal Harun.
Kelantan will now have to wait another year to see if they can break their jinx in the competition.
