工程后年竣工 改善黑木山关卡交通
工程后年竣工 改善黑木山关卡交通
旺朱乃迪（左） 巡视黑木山关卡的扫描器运作情况。
黑木山关卡将在2016年完成改善工程，届时将一劳永逸解决交通阻塞情况。
内政部副部长拿督旺朱乃迪指出，全国共有8个马泰关卡，而其中黑木山是最大型关卡，而该部也接到投诉，指该关卡在特定时间，会出现车龙。
因此，他相信随着工作完成后，将会解决交通阻塞问题，国人可在舒适的环境下出入境。
旺朱乃迪今早前往黑木山关卡聆听该处14个执法单位汇报后这么透露。
另外，旺朱乃迪也透露，内阁原则上同意在吉兰丹马泰边界兴建边境篱笆的建议，至于何种类型篱笆则须从长计议。
他说，政府将参考国外使用的科技，在仔细研究后，作出定夺。
制定法律须循民意
询及是否须制定法令防止国内宗教情况趋向极端一事，旺朱乃迪说，若民众极力敦促政府，而政府有感这已影响国家安稳，才会考虑制定法令。
他说，任何法律的制定必须遵循大部分人民的心声衡量。
他补充，有人说和平示威或游行集会不必申请准证，因为这是人权，但当他们高喊人权时，却剥夺其他人如小贩做生意、路人走路等权利。
“任何集会无须申请准证，但却须与警方商讨该集会，并由警方决定可否举行。”
至于取代内安法令的2012年国家保安（特别措施）法令，近期会否修正，他说，目前仍没有修正的必要。

配合旅游年马运会‧玻料迎318万游客
配合旅游年马运会‧玻料迎318万游客
大马旅游局定下2014大马旅游年吸引2千800万名外国游客造访的目標，位於马泰边境的玻璃市出入境关卡预计將吸引318万名外国游客入境。
阿都查米尔（前左二）於元旦日配合2014大马旅游年，在马泰边境巴东勿剎，迎接外国游客造访大马；后排左一为许福光。（图：星洲日报）
玻璃市旅游事务委员会主席阿都查米尔昨天（1日）由大马旅游局理事拿督莫哈末卡利、广告局主任拿督阿都卡尼、旅游及文化部市场发展局主任莫哈末达勿、玻璃市边境合作委员会主席阿末峇克里，以及知知丁宜州议员兼玻州副议长许福光陪同，在马泰边境巴东勿剎，迎接外国游客造访大马。
阿都查米尔：景点区需包装推销
阿都查米尔认为，其实玻璃市有很多不错的旅游景点区，有关当局只需提升现有的设施，並加以包装推销，自然能吸引游客观光。
他说，任何旅游推销活动都应站在游客，尤其是外国游客的立场去想，了解游客在旅游时的要求，千万不能自爽，否则將无法靠曾观光的游客协助再推销。
盼至少2代理加入旅游业
“很遗憾的是，玻州也没有专业的旅游社代理，今年我们希望能有至少2家代理加入旅游业，为玻璃市量身设定本土化的旅游配套。”
玻璃市於2012年共有300万游客到访，预计刚结束的2013年將提升3%，阿都查米尔希望配合2014大马旅游年以及第十七届马运会，游客人潮量可达318万人。
莫哈末达勿也提醒游客应把握2014大马旅游年的136项优惠配套，不管是外国或国內游客都將在今年享有非一般的优惠，並欢迎大家瀏览发掘大马官方网站（discovermalaysia.com）了解详情。

Enjoy nature at its most exciting
Enjoy nature at its most exciting
Looking for an exciting adventure that blends with the natural setting on one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia? The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa has what it takes to provide you with such moments at its heavenly retreat.
Enjoy a memorable getaway experience with your loved ones with the Naturally Langkawi package by The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa. The package invites you to explore the legendary island and rejuvenate your senses with a list of exciting activities. Your renewal experience starts in the morning with a buffet breakfast in Seasonal Tastes, the all-day dining venue where dishes are paired with generous flows of sparkling wines. The resort believes in using only the best ingredients for your body and has created a SuperFoodRx breakfast menu that features healthy dishes made from ingredients rich in nutrients, antioxidants and delicious taste for a healthy body. Kickstart your island exploration with an exciting journey discovering the Geopark Langkawi, one of the "not to be missed" attractions on this island.
The beautiful Killim Geoforest Park features a beautiful mangrove forest and calm-winding river within a long-established marine ecosystem. The tour consists of the mangrove ride and cave exploration.
The journey begins from Tanjung Rhu, which serves as a point of your departure and return trip by boat, accompanied by an experienced tour guide. Witness the wildlife of the island up close and personal where you will see hairy nosed sea otters, brown winged kingfishers and cute macaque monkeys, among others, along the way.
Exploring the mangrove will take at least four hours to complete. Light snacks and mineral water will be provided.
The cave exploration will take place at two famous caves, Bat Cave and Crocodile Cave, and will take around three to four hours to complete. Both are only accessible by boat; expect to see thousands of bats hanging from the ceiling and inspiring scenery of limestone formations.
After a long day of exploration, guests can look forward to relaxing in one of the freshly rejuvenated rooms or ultra luxury private pool villas which have recently undergone 15 months of transformation work. In addition to the fresh look, the renovation process also allows the resort to introduce new room categories, offering its guests more choices for luxurious pampering.
These freshly rejuvenated rooms and ultra luxury villas create a sense of calm and sophistication with an array of wellness amenities by Westin. An elegant glass wall separates the sleek bathroom from the bedroom. The spacious bathroom boards a rejuvenating Heavenly Rain Shower and the Signature White Tea by Westin bath amenities, thick towels, and a plush bathrobe, adding bliss to your bathing routine. They also feature a king-size and/or two double, award winning signature Westin Heavenly Beds equipped with sumptuous pillow-top mattress, billowy down blankets, and soft pillows -- a combination so divine, you'll never want to get out of bed.
The Westin experience after all, is centred on renewal. Pamper yourself at the Heavenly Spa by Westin, a perfect sanctuary for pampering and rejuvenation. The spa offers a range of attractive services to choose from such as therapeutic aging facials, body exfoliation, foot and bathing rituals, amongst other. The Heavenly Spa by Westin was recently awarded the country winner for Best Luxury Beauty Spa and finalist for Best Luxury Destination Spa at the 2013 World Luxury Spa Awards.
While you allow yourself to unwind, the children can enjoy themselves at Westin Kids Club. The club offers different interesting activities for kids to enjoy under a daily - changing theme. Activities will be conducted in various places including the beach, pool area as well as in the Westin Discovery Room for indoor activities, allowing children the opportunity to explore with their senses. Parents are guaranteed full peace of mind in knowing that their children are being well cared for by professionals in a secure setting.
The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa has been recognised by numerous awards, including country winner for Luxury Beach Resort in 2010 and Best Luxury Island Resort in 2011 and 2013 by World Luxury Hotel Awards.
Set in a heavenly natural retreat with private beach front location up to 500 metres, the Resort has 202 guest rooms and suites as well as 20 ultra-luxury private ocean-view pool villas, boasting panoramic view of the Andaman Sea.
Offering a complete range of recreation, meeting and event facilities such as 650 sq metres of indoor meeting and banquet space, magical wedding venues, the renowned Heavenly Spa by Westin, recreation centre with Westin Kids Club and Westin Workout and four comprehensive F&B venues, The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa is indeed the ideal destination for a tropical getaway, family vacation, destination wedding, honeymoon and corporate meetings/incentives.
The Resort is just 3km away from the main duty-free shopping area of Langkawi, Kuah town and 20 minutes from the Langkawi International Airport. The Westin Airport Lounge located at the departure hall of Langkawi International Airport provides a renewing experience for guests before they take off to the next destination.
This exclusive package is open for booking from now until May 31 with a minimum stay of two nights required. Terms and conditions apply.

景点编排系列节目 放眼540万人次游吉打
景点编排系列节目 放眼540万人次游吉打
国家稻米博物院成为吉州主要旅游景点。
配合大马旅游年，吉打州放眼吸引540万名游客人次观光。
掌管吉州旅游事务委员会的行政议员阿米鲁丁说，随着中央及州旅游机构展开一系列宣传活动，相信可达致这个目标。
他说，除了浮罗交怡著名旅游及免税岛屿，成为游客首选，在州内其他旅游景点编排一连串节目，预料可吸引大批游客参与。
他指出，去年总共280万人次的外国游客涌入吉打，大部分取道浮罗交怡国际机场、交怡码头及黑木山移民厅及关税局大厦入境。
他表示，吉州根据时势发展及国家社会治安因素，订下大马旅游年引入540万人次旅客的目标。
阿米鲁丁在马泰边境黑木山移民厅及关税局大厦主持大马旅游年推展仪式后，向媒体发表谈话。
他说，泰南最近发生连续爆炸案，引起恐慌，造成许多我国游客选择国内观光。
吉打州旅游日历，从吉打苏丹殿下本月19日华诞庆祝节目开始；全球独一无一的国家稻米博物院及布秧谷历史古迹是主要旅游景点。
