Booking Grab ride in Malaysia? Submit selfie first
Booking Grab ride in Malaysia? Submit selfie first
All Grab users in Malaysia will soon have to do a one-time selfie verification in order to use the app in the country. This is to fulfil regulatory requirements.
It will be similar to what new Grab users in Singapore are already doing, and a company spokesman said yesterday that Singaporeans would also have to comply with the Malaysian rule when using the app across the Causeway.
Grab, through an announcement on its Malaysian app and its website, informed users recently that the compulsory measure will be in place by July 12.
The website message read: "The selfie is for identity verification, safety, and may be used to assist the authorities when required. Grab ensures that your selfie and identity are secure and will not be shared with our driver-partners and merchants."
Grab added that explicit permission would be sought before any access to users' cameras.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke had last July announced that, as part of new rules, passengers would have to upload valid identification card or passport details when they register for a ride-hailing account. He gave a year's grace to meet the requirements.
Grab adopted facial recognition technology to meet the new rule, with first-time users required to submit a selfie of themselves before booking a ride.
The Star daily reported that the new requirement has already helped solve a robbery-cum-murder case involving a Grab driver. Two suspects were nabbed in connection with the death of Mr Mohd Hanafiee Jaafar, who was robbed and killed on the job last month.
The incident resulted in drivers fearing post-midnight trips and avoiding areas deemed dangerous, The Star said.
Within Singapore, Grab users who signed up before February this year did not have to go through selfie verification, with their identities verified by either their Facebook account or credit card details.
But new users signing up from February have had to submit selfies to successfully open their accounts.
The Grab spokesman said: "These are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure high safety and security standards on our platform for both our customers and driver-partners."
Singaporeans who use Grab during trips to Malaysia told ST that they did not mind submitting a selfie so long as it was used solely for verification purposes.
Ms Wong Shi Hui, 25, who works in events management and visits Malaysia every three months, said: "It is good that measures are in place to protect drivers as well. Selfies seem harmless enough if they can ensure a safe ride for everyone."

黑木山货运全天通关 普通通关仍18小时
黑木山货运全天通关 普通通关仍18小时
吉北黑木山马泰边境关卡门闸终于在周二凌晨12时10分正式拉开，24小时开放让重型及物流运输罗里全天候通关，暂定3个月试行期。 （右起）马祖基及慕克里。 一展再展的吉北黑木山马泰边境关卡终于开放24小时了，但只限于货运!
吉北黑木山马泰边境关卡门闸终于在周二凌晨12时10分正式拉开，24小时开放让重型及物流运输罗里全天候通关，暂定3个月试行期。至于供旅客、轻型车辆及旅游巴士等通关的普通通道，将保持18小时通关作业，即开放时间从清晨6时至午夜12时。
外交部副部长拿督马祖基、吉打州务大臣拿督斯里慕克里以及泰方外交部顾问蔡斯利安纳马仁、宋卡府府尹威拉南等周二凌晨12时05分，在吉北黑木山马泰边境关卡门闸主持挥旗通关仪式。
24小时开放仪式于午夜12时开始，驻守关卡门闸的警员在12时正把门闸拉起，待外交部副部长拿督马祖基及吉打州务大臣拿督斯里慕克里到场给予指示，再把门闸拉开，随即泰国外交部顾问蔡斯利安纳马仁在马泰边境交界处与拿督马祖基一起主持挥通关仪式，让马泰两国货运罗里开始通关。
吉北黑木山马泰边境关卡门闸24小时开放，为马泰两国掀开了历史性一幕。
外交部副部长拿督马祖基致词时表示，这项24小时开放政策，暂定3个月试行期，直至9月17日，这期间马泰两国的评估小组将进行评估这项政策的成效。
他说，泰国是大马第5大的贸易伙伴，在东协国家排名第2，两国在去年的贸易额达261亿2000万美元（约1044亿8000万令吉），与2017年的229亿6000美元（约917亿)），上涨了13.7%。
他表示，共享一个边界，将改善两国之间的联系，这将吸引外国直接投资，促进两国之间的经济成长。
他指出，黑木山和昔罗边境的双边贸易总额为115亿6000万美元，占了马泰7个边境的贸易总额60%。
泰方外交部顾问蔡斯利安纳马仁表示，虽然24小时开放政策只限于重型及物流运输罗里，不过，他相信将有助于纾缓运输罗里的阻塞，促进马泰两国商业、旅游与贸易往来的便利。
他说，泰国新检疫大厦预计在明年初启用，并希望能够直接衔接黑木山移民、关税及检疫站。
耗资4亿2500万令吉的马泰边境黑木山移民、关税及检疫站（ICQS）于2017年11月正式启用后，原本于2019年1月1日24小时全天候开放，之后泰方基于关卡基设及驻守人员调派方面尚需更多时间的准备，导致有关措施出现变化，展延至4月1日，且只实行24小时开放物流运输通关，试跑期3个月，但有关政策到了最后关头，再度暂缓实行，直至周二（6月18日）正式落实。

富有历史色彩 爽爽岛具潜能成旅游景点
富有历史色彩 爽爽岛具潜能成旅游景点
拥有历史色彩的爽爽岛(Pulau Songsong)。
双溪大年铅县爽爽岛(Pulau Songsong)适合发展成为历史色彩的岛屿！
该岛屿位于铅县海域地带，富有历史色彩，令它深具潜能崛起成为吸引游客的旅游景点。
历史学家拿督万山苏汀莫哈末尤索夫表示，该岛屿曾经是古代英雄人物齐集的地点，包括东姑穆哈末沙安（乃第22届吉打州苏丹阿末达祖丁哈林二世的侄儿），他在1838年8月间从泰国殖民地重夺吉打州。
铅县爽爽岛是适合浮潜的好地方，可以在海底世界欣赏珊瑚和鱼类。
他指出，当时爽爽岛是由来自林茂、亚齐、百大年和霹州英雄所乘坐船只停泊地点，然后大伙儿和东姑穆哈末沙安一起进攻泰国。
他说，在这场战役中，吉打州成功从泰国手中夺回吉打港口和Alor Ganu(亚罗卡努）城市，直接航行到斯娜格Singgora(宋卡)，以阻止泰国军队前进。
亚罗卡努城市当时是泰国在吉打州的行政中心，东姑穆哈末沙安率领的战士包括赛因阿都沙末，他当时是马卡著名战士，过后不幸在斯娜格战亡。
万山苏汀也是马来西亚历史公会吉州分会的主席，他说，虽然东姑穆哈末沙安重夺吉打只有数个月的时光，在1839年吉打又沦陷在泰国手中，但他和伙伴们的英勇事迹应牢记在年轻州民的心中。
也是位于铅县爽爽岛附近的蛋岛(Pulau Telur)，临近还有接生岛（Pulau Bidan)。
他认为，有必要提升该岛为历史岛屿，当然也要有周详的计划，提升基本设施，包括建立码头，并设立历史告示牌提供详尽的岛屿历史资料，让游客深入了解岛屿的历史。
该岛原本是澳洲空军训练基地，2008年转交大马皇家空军接管保护，曾经一度被列为禁岛，惟目前已经解禁。
客船业者穆哈末纳兹里建议吉州政府仿效登嘉楼政府致力发展停泊岛，使该岛设备齐全，吸引游客到来游玩。
他说，清洁的自来水供应显得重要，而照顾岛屿的整洁也很重要。
他说，目前游客将从铅双溪乌当渔业发展局乘着小船启程，遗憾的是爽爽岛的码头欠完善，只有漂浮的码头，所以游客无法自由进出爽爽岛，在进入之前必须视水位以策安全。
“此外，自来水供应短缺，游客要自携罐装水，这里是有井水和咸水，如果同一个时间很多游客到来，显然水供是不够的，而游客如厕后，未照顾厕所的整洁，以致厕所肮脏”。
他表示，运载游客的都是渔夫，在这时期，他们义务照顾该岛的整洁，他们清洗厕所，也割野草，12小船的业者也自掏腰包带领清洁工人到岛上展开大扫除工作。

有意建居林机场 吉大臣：非空想
有意建居林机场 吉大臣：非空想
慕克里兹指可以居林高科技园的优势，宣传有意兴建的居林国际机场工业园。
吉打州务大臣拿督斯里慕克里兹，以居林高科技园已吸引具国际竞争力的外资公司设厂为例，指州政府有意在居林国际机场邻近，兴建与航空领域相辅相成的航空城建议，并非空想。
“我们可向有意前来居林国际机场投资者，展示居林高科技园已设有提供飞机零件公司、及其他生产和供应电子零件的公司等，显示我们已到达另一层次，并非是空空如也，这将吸引更多外资前来投资居林国际机场。”
他周二前往法国泰雷兹集团，设于居林高科技园的商用飞机零件工厂参观后，向媒体这么表示。
他是在今年3月出席国际海事与航空展（LIMA）时，得知有关公司厂房就在居林，因而前来拜访及参观；该公司所聘用的员工都是大马人，其中7成来自吉打，主要是生产不同飞机型号所需要的零件。
无论如何，他指出，有关航空城的建议仍处在计划阶段，包括规划占地范围、出入口及航空城如何与居林国际机场接轨，诸如引入相关飞机维护、维修和运营管理公司（Maintenance、Repair and Operations）等，都需要进行研究。
询及耗资100亿令吉投资额打造航空城进展，他说，基于时间仓促关系，此事有待吉打州行政议员陈国耀在州议会上提出及进行讨论。
他补充，尽管吉打发展不比雪州、槟城及柔佛来的先进，甚至位居国内落后第二州，但他相信，州政府可通过给予投资优惠及奖掖，吸引投资者，例如长达10年的免税期、工厂部分机械及零件豁免入扣税等，这些都可予以考量，惟仅限于特定领域。
“比起其他先进州，这是吉打州的优势。”

New VMY 2020 logo to be unveiled this month
New VMY 2020 logo to be unveiled this month
The logo for Visit Malaysia 2020 will be unveiled during the national-level Hari Raya open house at the Royal Museum in Kuala Lumpur on June 22.
“The Prime Minister himself chose the logo on the eve of Hari Raya.
“The theme and logo will be unveiled then,” Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik said during his Hari Raya open house at SMK Pondok Upeh here yesterday.
A total of 586 entries were submitted for a design competition in March.
The design will also symbolise the various attractive ecotourism products in Malaysia.
Early last year, the Visit Malaysia 2020 logo did not go down well with social media users, as they generally felt that the design was not up to standard.
The emblem featured a cartoon of an orang utan in sunglasses hugging a proboscis monkey, a silhouette of the Petronas Twin Towers and a turtle on a beach, also wearing sunglasses. It included a caption: “Travel. Enjoy. Respect.”
Muhammad Bakhtiar said that events meant for Visit Malaysia 2020 would be required to be coordinated with the secretariat in charge of the campaign.
“This is to ensure it does not clash with other events under Visit Malaysia 2020,” he said.
He was responding to the proposal to bring BTS, a K-pop group, to the country for the celebration next year.
In April, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman had promised to bring the boy band to Malaysia and Tan Sri Tony Fernandes was tasked to deliver on this pledge.
Yesterday’s Raya open house was jointly hosted by Muhammad Bakhtiar, who is also the Balik Pulau MP, together with Pulau Betong assemblyman Mohd Tuah Ismail and Teluk Bahang assemblyman Zolkifly Md Lazim.

巴东勿刹与旺吉辇关卡 没24小时开放
巴东勿刹与旺吉辇关卡 没24小时开放
巴东勿刹马泰边境关卡没24小时开放。（档案照）
玻州巴东勿刹马泰边境关卡和旺吉辇关卡并没24小时开放!
巴斯里：玻璃市2个关卡没24小时开放。
玻州移民局局长巴斯里受询时证实开放24小时的措施只涉及吉打黑木山马泰边境关卡的重型罗里通道，而该州两个关卡并没有落实该项措施。
他表示，巴东勿刹马泰边境关卡的运作时间如常，从早上6时至晚上10时，开放16个小时。至于旺吉辇的开放时间是早上7时至晚上7时，12个小时。
早在2017年3月，就有消息指出，巴东勿刹马泰边境关卡将实行24小时开放，该政策已在内阁通过，一旦实行24小时开放，警方将在移民丶关税及检疫大厦开设行动室，全天候驻守以协调各执法单位工作。不过，过后没有下文。
郑成泉：黑木山关卡17日开始 24小时开放 只限重型罗里通道
玻璃市行动党主席郑成泉表示，自从掌管吉打工业及投资事务委员会的行政议员陈国耀宣布黑木山马泰边境关卡重型罗里通道将于本月17日开始全天候开放24小时，很多人都询问巴东勿刹关卡的重型罗里通道是否也落实该项措施。
因此，他强调，巴东勿刹马泰边境关卡的重型罗里通道，并没有涉及本月17日全天候开放24小时的措施。
居住巴东勿刹的他指出，巴东勿刹每个通道，包括物流运输，开放时间仍保持早上6时至晚上10时。
此外，他提醒游客掌握好通关时间，尽量提早抵达，以有足够的时间办理过境手续。

Harumanis' sweet returns
Harumanis' sweet returns
Harumanis farmers in Kedah are aiming to produce up to 75 tonnes of mangoes this season.
The handsome returns from the harumanis trees was what “attracted” a sizeable number of farmers in Kedah to grow the mango variant.
Kedah Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) deputy director (Operations) Hasrol Nizam Muhammad Zuki said those who had been in the business for a long time would be able to attest to this.
Among them were harumanis farmers from Kampung Pida 3, Kodiang in the Kubang Pasu district.
Hasrol said a mature harumanis tree, usually more than 5 years old, would be able to produce an average of about 50kg of fruits a season.
The current season began early last month and is expected to last until early July.
“So, for a farmer who has five mature harumanis trees, and if he really takes good care them, he would be able to collect 250kg of the fruits for the season.
“If the price is RM20 per kg, then the farmer will get RM5,000 this season just from the five trees.
“The more the farmer grows, the more returns he gets.
“If a farmer has 100 mature harumanis trees, which would be able to produce 5,000kg fruits, he will earn RM100,000 for the season,” he told the New Straits Times.
Hasrol, however, said the majority of the farmers in Kedah were newcomers and might not have seen such promising returns yet.
This is when, he said, Fama, the Kedah state Agriculture Department, Kedah Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute and Muda Agricultural Development Authority could come forward to help the farmers by providing them with the necessary guidance and technical expertise.
“However, this is not an easy task and it takes a lot strength and patience,” he added.
The New Sunday Times reported that contrary to popular belief that the harumanis could only be grown in Perlis, it was fast gaining the attention of the Kedah farmers.
Kedah Fama had registered 46 harumanis farmers, operating on 42.1ha, with a total of 3,742 trees. There were more than 90 harumanis farmers in Kedah.
Last season, the state produced between 17 and 18 tonnes of mangoes. This season, the figure is expected to rise significantly to between 70 and 75 tonnes.
Since the start of the season, Kedah has recorded sales of 2.5 tonnes of the fruit known as “king of mangoes”.
Sales are expected to soar after the fasting month and before the end of the season.

The handsome returns from the harumanis trees was what “attracted” a sizeable number of farmers in Kedah to grow the mango variant.
Kedah Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) deputy director (Operations) Hasrol Nizam Muhammad Zuki said those who had been in the business for a long time would be able to attest to this.
Among them were harumanis farmers from Kampung Pida 3, Kodiang in the Kubang Pasu district.
Hasrol said a mature harumanis tree, usually more than 5 years old, would be able to produce an average of about 50kg of fruits a season.
The current season began early last month and is expected to last until early July.
“So, for a farmer who has five mature harumanis trees, and if he really takes good care them, he would be able to collect 250kg of the fruits for the season.
“If the price is RM20 per kg, then the farmer will get RM5,000 this season just from the five trees.
“The more the farmer grows, the more returns he gets.
“If a farmer has 100 mature harumanis trees, which would be able to produce 5,000kg fruits, he will earn RM100,000 for the season,” he told the New Straits Times.
Hasrol, however, said the majority of the farmers in Kedah were newcomers and might not have seen such promising returns yet.
This is when, he said, Fama, the Kedah state Agriculture Department, Kedah Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute and Muda Agricultural Development Authority could come forward to help the farmers by providing them with the necessary guidance and technical expertise.
“However, this is not an easy task and it takes a lot strength and patience,” he added.
The New Sunday Times reported that contrary to popular belief that the harumanis could only be grown in Perlis, it was fast gaining the attention of the Kedah farmers.
Kedah Fama had registered 46 harumanis farmers, operating on 42.1ha, with a total of 3,742 trees. There were more than 90 harumanis farmers in Kedah.
Last season, the state produced between 17 and 18 tonnes of mangoes. This season, the figure is expected to rise significantly to between 70 and 75 tonnes.
Since the start of the season, Kedah has recorded sales of 2.5 tonnes of the fruit known as “king of mangoes”.
Sales are expected to soar after the fasting month and before the end of the season.
