Traffic continues to grow in 2010. In the third quarter of last year, passenger numbers were up 12.5% at KLIA, with regional airport growth just over 7%. In both cases, international traffic growth was outperforming domestic traffic.

Malaysia Airports is currently constructing the brand new KLIA 2; a low-cost carrier terminal that will initially be used exclusively by AirAsia and will be able handle 30 million annual passengers.

According to schedule data from OAG, AirAsia now operates more flights and more seat capacity at KLIA than Malaysia Airlines, even before AirAsia X, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia are taken into account. However, Malaysia Airlines does serve more destinations non-stop (66) from the airport than its low-cost rival. A total of 53 airlines currently offer scheduled services from KLIA including KLM and Lufthansa from Europe, but there are no US carriers present at the airport. In fact, the airport still has no direct flights to any US airport.

New services launched from KLIA in 2010 include AirAsia to Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Yangon; AirAsia X to Delhi, Mumbai, Seoul and Tokyo Haneda; Malaysia Airlines to Bandung; Oman Air to Muscat; and Royal Jordanian to Amman. AirAsia X has already announced Christchurch and Paris as new destinations for 2011.

A significant development starting this weekend is the introduction of Firefly service between KLIA and Kota Kinabalu (three daily flights) and Kuching (four daily flights) using the airline’s recently acquired 737-800s. Firefly is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines that until now has operated purely turboprop aircraft from the old Kuala Lumpur airport at Subang.

Beyond Kuala Lumpur, there are seven airports which handled more than a million passengers per annum in 2009. Kota Kinabalu is the leading airport in the Malaysian region of Sabah while Kuching is the busiest airport in Sarawak.

Snow in my country.

Believe me you can find snow all over the country in Sarawak.I am referring to the car wash centre and a road side car wash and often have a signboard or banner which says "SNOW WASH".Those foam they used to wash cars really look like snow.

Shopping Mall in Kota Samarahan.

 

We have SPRING about 2 years ago in Kuching .'The Spring Shopping Mall'.(open two years ago)

It summer in the year 2012 in Kota  Samarahan. 'The Summer Shopping Mall' expected to complete in year 2012.

This little wooden white house in Kota Samarahan and very soon it will become the super hyper mall.Perhaps the owner become rich too, incase the present landlord have sold the land to the VVIP,VIP's and the Politician i am sure they are making tons of monies .

I am staying about 500 meter from this place.The booming of Samarahan District would greatly enhance the economy activity here .

 

The Summer Shopping Mall will be a three-story commercial building and schedule to be open by 2012 and hopefully its will provide job-opportunities for the surrounding communities and also will boost the value of properties nearby.

Olympus Pen E-Pl2.

OLYMPUS MALAYSIA

Wow !!!! every Olympus user is talking about this awesome Pen E-Pl2 & this device  come with Intelligence and Bluetooth.

Olympus introduces the PEN E-PL2, the 4th generation of the Olympus PEN family. The new camera expands your creative potential with Live Guide, new built-in creative features, new auxiliary lenses, a new Close-Up Spotlight accessory and the new Olympus PENPAL Bluetooth accessory.

I have check the price effective from 16th January 2011.

14-42mm II @ Rm2.499

17mm @ Rm2.499

14-42mm II & 40-150mm @ Rm2.999

As the annual Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas draws closer, more and more rumours are making their rounds across the internet. For all you Micro 4/3s camera enthusiasts, leaked pictures and specs for the new Olympus E-PL2 have surfaced thanks to the guys over at 43rumors.com. The updated "budget" m4/3s camera features the same sensor in it's predecessor the E-PL1 but has adopted a slightly curvier and more ergonomic design.
Along with the change to the aesthetics of the camera, the E-PL2 comes with a new 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) kit lens as well as a dedicated movie button. Such changes were expected with the direction most cameras are going toward in the form of HD video. On top of that, the E-PL2 also features a new High-resolution 3inch LCD and has a new ISO cap of 6400, but with such a small sensor, I don't think you'll be seeing those numbers when you take photos anytime soon.
Perhaps the most interesting thing that has been leaked is the new bluetooth module which attaches to the hotshoe. Cheekily called the "Penpal", it allows you to instantly send pictures to your Android or Windows Mobile phone and share pictures via Flickr, Facebook or other social networks. There is no iPhone support off the bat, and that's not unusual because of the gimped bluetooth that iOS devices favour.

Fake or Look Alike iPhone

Do you guy know who is Mr Steve Jobs.

"Whether this was fake or not, the important takeaway here is that some users are genuinely frustrated with their iPhone 4 experiences and they feel jilted by Steve Jobs, who hasn’t helped the situation at all with his brief, unsatisfying responses. At this point, Jobs and Apple are really beginning to test our patience by simply telling us to “stay tuned.”."

Now let us look at the above comment from the Original iPhone user........

There are lots of fake iPhone or simply call it 99.9% look alike iPhone in China and now we can buy online in Malaysia.I have one of the device and I they look similar to Apple's iPhone.This people are probably the King of Fake iPhone producer.It look awesome and 99.9% look alike that I almost could not tell it is fake at first sight or love at first sight.

Craziest camera of the day...

This fake iPhone other than imitating the appearance of the original  the knock off makers have brought the device to the next level by including preloaded with both hardware and software that is nearly identical to the real device.

They works just like the real.

Cheers.
