International Airport that use Analog Scale..

All guests (except infants) are allowed only one piece of hand carry baggage onboard provided that it does not exceed the dimensions of 56cm x 36cm x 23cm and does not weigh more than 7kg. Such baggage must fit under the seat in front of you or in an enclosed storage compartment in the cabin. Items determined by us to be of excessive weight or size or of an offensive nature will not be permitted onboard.

Why waste the digital technology ...why still use the analog scale..
While digital scales are very popular, still analog choose a steady stream of customers who year after year. Why is that? Well, more of a basic analog scale to be cheap and it does not require the use of batteries to run.
Since you got a cheap ticket to fly then use cheap scale to weight your limited cabin bag .

He miss the Gawai Festival in Sarawak.

With Gawai Festival just around the corner every shopping mall in Kuching are having a sale..'Now every one can buy" ; Selamat Hari Gawai. I also did a survey in supermarket about the price and the sudden price increase in essential goods such as sugar and yeast and how my friends the Dayak and the Iban will be affected by this price increase.  Another interesting story is about our friend political activist ONG BK he miss the Gawai festival in Bengoh Village in Pedawan,Sarawak..read the story HERE

Sarawak immigration officers caught up with political activist Ong BK in Bengoh today and ordered him out of the state.(another Malaysian ,not allowed to enter Sarawak in Malaysia)

Ong, a coordinator of the Malaysian Election Observers Network (MEO-Net), entered Sarawak through Bintulu on May 21 with no difficulties, but 10 officers stopped him at the Bengoh Dam security post this morning and escorted him to the immigration office in Pending.

Ong is currently in the Pending Immigration Office,waiting for the details of his flight to be confirmed an return to West Malaysia " So I'm sorry for him that he miss the Gawai Festival in Sarawak.
