17 Feb 2011 Electric Train to Ipoh to celebrate Chap Goh Mei


a) The Electric Train Service from Kuala Lumpur Sentral to Ipoh was something that I wanted to try. The ETS was introduced in August last year with a single journey fare of RM30 ..... and ETS offers a faster trip which is about two hours .........................  Have you ever heard of an old Chap Goh Mei tradition in Singapore and Malaysia ? During this day ( also known as the 15th day of the lunar new year ) , young single women would throw a pair of oranges into the river with a wish of finding a good husband ......... HUNDREDS of Electric Train Service ( ETS ) passengers bound for Ipoh were given a special Chinese New Year send-off recently with goodie bags and a lion dance . “ We hope this will attract some attention from the public to show that it is better to take public transport than to take their own means of private transport,” he said on 5th Febuary 2011 .

b) On PAS Youth’s plan for spot checks on Muslims in Pakatan Rakyat states , Muhyiddin said it was “ extreme ” . Muhyiddin took the U82 bus from Wisma UOA Damansara to KL Sentral and switched to the nearby LRT station and got off at Masjid Jamek . He said Kuala Lumpur’s public transport system was on its way to meeting targets set under the National Key Result Area to boost passenger numbers . “ I asked several passengers and they told me that facilities at LRT and bus stations have improved greatly, ” he said . He said efforts to integrate the bus , LRT and monorail systems would take time as it had to be completed in stages . Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha , said Valentine’s Day was simply a day to strengthen ties among people . He criticised those who claimed that the celebration had religious connotations . “ To me , it is not limited to young or unmarried people . Valentine’s Day is celebrated by even old married couples, ” he said ...... Pemberian utk warga emas Sri sentosa menjelang Gong Xi Fa Cai !
