Get the cows off our highways (thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/8/8/focus/11815548&sec=focus)

I REFER to your report “Cow on highway causes fatal accident” (The Star, Aug 6).

I would like to relate a similar experience along the Leburaya AMJ (Alor Gajah-Melaka-Johor).

Courtesy of the Malacca and Johor state governments, this toll-free expressway has provided the people a convenient way to travel, and as an alternative route to save time.

However, regular users of this road will tell that it is common to see dead cows lying by the roadside, and broken glass and disintegrated car parts such as bumpers on the road.

If those dead cows were by the roadside, just imagine what could have happened to those vehicles that had hit those animals? And what happened to those precious human lives?

Last month, my cousin and his pregnant wife drove home at night using the PLUS highway, before turning into Jasin to get to the AMJ.

All of a sudden, a white cow rushed out from the bushes. My cousin was quick to avoid it but luck was not with him when he failed to notice the second cow which was black!

He hit the second cow but fortunately both husband and wife escaped unhurt. The cow was killed instantly and the car badly damaged. The poor couple waited by the roadside for my help at 2am.

Despite warning signs about the cows at certain stretches of AMJ, the owners of the animals have a duty to ensure that their animals are always under their surveillance and not pose a threat to any road user.

Road accidents of this nature can be avoided.

The local district council has a role to play and should give sufficient warning to the cattle owners and to impose severe fines for those letting their cows to wander along and on the highway.

Teach them a lesson and warn the others to take full responsibility of their animals. We cannot afford to sacrifice more precious human lives due to silly human mistakes.

A first world facility must be accorded with a first- class mentality.

my family and I experienced it ourselves. that was before the AMJ completed I think.
we were in a car to Melaka and hit a cow. thank God my father managed to break the car early a bit. the cow fell on the road and the car was kinda kemek..

btw, AMJ= Alor Gajah-Melaka-Jasin/Johor?

I always thought AMJ=Antara Melaka Johor

Yeah, i also thought that Higway AMJ = Highway Antara Melaka Johor..

:no: They did the naming wrong as Muar has the grandest part of the highway ( the 2nd bridge + that big Parit Bunga flyover/interchange ) :bash:.

But AMJ highway does not bring significant benefit to Muar. It's a shame coz the number of vehicles using this highway is quite high coz people from BP and Malacca will usually use this highway to skip the congestion in Muar town

Oh begitu. Saya fikir permulaan AMJ ni adalah di Jalan Abdul Rahman dan berakhir di bndaraya Melaka. Rupanya 2 highway, Muar bypass dan AMJ yg bercantum di Parit Bunga. Elok sangat la Muar bypass ni, sapa la pencetus idea. Memang bypass Muar 100% :bash:

Semalam lalu bandar, saya lihat bangunan 17 tingkat ini sudah hampir separuh dicat dan MPM pula umpama tikus baiki labu, buat renovation di tengah2 bulatan hadapan Wetex. Pelik saya MPM ni, tak jauh dari bulantan itu, di sebelah Wetex Parade ramai pejalan kaki menyabung nyawa melintas jalan untuk ke Wetex tapi MPM buat tak pandang, apa salahnya keluarkan dana bina kan satu jejantas di situ :bash::bash:

Pagoh to be made next learning centre

By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH
metrose@thestar.com.my

MUAR: Pagoh will have two educational complexes for universities and schools, including religious schools, in its aim to be an educational hub in the region.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the university projects would be built along the Panchor road while the schools near Brohol and in Bukit Serampang.

He said the Education Ministry had acquired some 200ha of land near Kampung Brohol and in Bukit Serampang to build several primary and secondary schools.

“The school projects include a religious school and we will implement the projects in stages.

“For the university projects, we have four universities, which will set their campuses or branches here soon,” he said after a meeting with some 700 retirees in Pagoh yesterday.

Muhyiddin, who is also the Education Minister, said the Cabinet had on Wednesday given its approval for Pagoh to be a major educational hub in the country.

He said the first university to set up a campus here would be University Tun Hussein Onn as the university in Batu Pahat had maximised its land.

He said the construction to build the campus would begin soon and it would be followed by University Teknologi Mara, University (Institute) Teknologi Mara and a polytechnic.

He said the first phase project would cost about RM1bil and it would take between three and four years for the projects to be fully completed.

He said at the same time Sime Darby, which owned the land, would build hostels besides houses, shops and commercial centres to support the new hubs.

He said about 10,000 students were expected to come and study at the universities and this would generate greater economic growth in Pagoh.

To a question on foreign universities coming to Pagoh, Muhyiddin said he would ask the Higher Education Ministry to look into the matter.

He said although University Technology Bandung had initially planned to come to Pagoh, he had yet to receive news from the university.

“We welcome all foreign universities which want to set up campuses or branches in Pagoh and we will offer them the sites,” he added.

Educational complexes to be set up in Pagoh

Aug 23, 2012 - PropertyGuru.com.my

In a bid to become an educational hub within the region, Pagoh is set to have two educational complexes for schools and universities, according to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin said that the school projects will be built in Bukit Serampang and near Brohol while the university projects will stand along the Panchor road.

He added that the Education Ministry had acquired 200ha of land in Bukit Serampang and near Kampung Brohol for the construction of the primary and secondary schools.

"For the university projects, we have four universities, which will set their campuses or branches here soon."

Muhyiddin noted that the Cabinet had given its approval for Pagoh to become Malaysia's major educational hub, adding that the first university to have a campus within the area would be the University Tun Hussein Onn.

University Teknologi Mara, the University (Institute) Teknologi Mara and a polytechnic university will follow the construction.

On questions of foreign universities to set up in Pagoh, Muhyiddin said the matter will be discussed with the Higher Education Ministry.

"We welcome all foreign universities which want to set up campuses or branches in Pagoh and we will offer them the sites," he said.

Oh terminal baru di jalan bakariah, dekat dgn highway Muar bypass. Terminal bas ni harap taklah super moden/super big macam nak serve 1 000 000 penduduk. Nanti under-utilised, membazir duit rakyat. Buat macam Terminal Segamat (setiap bas ada platform) atau Terminal Kluang (konsep drivethhru) . Tapi pada saya elok buat seperti terminal segamat, tak besar sangat, sesuai dengan jumlah penduduk dan agak selesa.

More news tentang Bandar Universiti Pagoh. credit pada forumer johan is sbb post berita ini di Kulim Thread.

UniMAP buka dua cawangan baharu

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/content.asp?y=2012&dt=0901&pub=Kosmo&sec=Negara&pg=ne_13.htm

KULIM - Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) akan membuka dua kampus cawangan iaitu di Pagoh, Johor dan Kulim Hitech Park di sini tidak lama lagi.

Naib Canselornya, Prof. Datuk Dr. Kamaruddin Hussin berkata, kampus cawangan di Pagoh telah mendapat persetujuan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan tapaknya juga sudah dikenal pasti.

Beliau berkata, projek pembinaan kampus di Pagoh itu akan bermula awal tahun depan dengan Sime Darby Bhd. sebagai pemaju utama.

"Bagi cawangan di Kulim pula pihak kami telah pun berunding dengan Presiden Kulim Technology Park Corporation (KTPC), Mohammad Sobri Othman untuk mendapat satu tapak yang sesuai untuk bangunan universiti dalam tempoh terdekat," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis sambutan Hari Raya UniMAP-Industri di Anjung UniMAP di sini semalam.

Hampir 500 pekerja industri di sini hadir pada majlis itu.

Kamaruddin berkata, kampus cawangan di Pagoh kelak akan memberi tumpuan untuk melahirkan lebih banyak modal insan yang kompetitif terutama dalam bidang nanoteknologi dan pengurusan perniagaan bagi menjana bidang perniagaan dan kewangan khususnya untuk memenuhi keperluan pertumbuhan kawasan industri Iskandar Malaysia.

"Kampus di Kulim pula akan dinaik taraf bagi menggantikan Anjung UniMAP sedia ada dan akan dimulakan dengan kira-kira 100 tenaga pengajar. Jumlah itu akan ditambah dari semasa ke semasa kerana permintaan modal insan keluaran UniMAP di sini semakin meningkat," katanya.

Jadi ada 4 universiti dan 1 politeknik sudah konpem mahu buka di Pagoh, Muar. UTHM, UniMap, Uitm dan UIA. :cheers:

I hope so, well when Taman Pagoh Jaya was during its early construction, there was this survey on a plan to build a mall somewhere at that area. But then that was around 5 years ago. I wonder if the plan is still on. Maybe they are waiting for the demand and the right time

For the time being, Muar can only settle/defend its status as the 4th city in Johor. It's hard to catch up with BP and Kluang now coz both towns are connected well with each other via a highway + the urban sprawl of BP has now reached Ayer Itam. It's a matter of time when BP and Kluang will merge into a single entity. To make it worse, some JB people (especially those working in Kulai/Skudai) has now started living in Kluang due to lower cost of living + traveling time between Kluang to JB is only an hour drive. So memamng mustahil la Muar boleh kejar BP/Kluang ni.

Just got this info here. A beras factory owner in Muar is now looking for a piece of land that has the size 10-15 ekar . He wants to relocate his factory to a new area in Muar because Tesco had approached him and asked him to sell the land where his current factory is located ( Jalan Salleh). There's no detail whether Tesco wants to build a hypermarket or just want to set up their warehouse there. Either way, this could be a good news to Muarian :)

These are old pics. A 17/18 storey building is now currently u/c in Muar. Together with Apartment Maharani (16 storeys) + Traders Hotel (14 storeys) + Classic Hotel (8,9 stoteys), it forms quite a nice cluster of tall buildings. Someone should try to capture the image.

Haha Muar still don't have a proper cinema laa. Lots of Muarian youngsters are complaining coz Segamat which is a much smaller town than Muar already has a cinema. I guess Muar now has fall down the rank from 2nd to 5th as the most developed town in Johor, behind JB, BP, Kluang, Segamat. What's next, Pontian and Kota Tinggi to beat Muar? lol .

Those photos taken last august and this septemberlah..:)

I did my matriculation at tangkak and i'm so surprise to learn that there is no proper cinema in muar because when i was small i always thought muar is the second biggest city after jb :lol:

The photographer should find a better angle then. It's a such a shame that he failed to take a much better shot.

How old are u actually? I'm 39 y/o and I had seen the sign of BP/Kluang to surpass Muar as the 2nd town in Johor from year 1998 already.

Yeah most of the time the photographer like to take muar picture from traders hotel. I think the best place to take muar skyline is from the 2nd bridge.

I am at my mid 20's, before I went to study in KMJ, I am rarely go to muar and if I did I only went to my relatives house...

A mini museum near the Sultan's residing place would be nice.. I doubt that Muar has THAT much histories/artifacts to be displayed in a big museum...

Hey have u heard about all the new signings made by Harimau Selatan football team? It'd be nice if the Sultan interferes and forces them to play in Muar instead of PG. I'm quite sure the more conservative Muarian will appreciate football more compare to JB people.

Well, the Harimau Selatan is control by TMJ... Johor FC has been killed despite the consistency of the club performance in MSL for the past few years... Now new team emerge which is Johor a.k.a Harimau Selatan which is previously known as Johor FC... I wonder what will happen to Johor FA???

I bet Johor will play at Larkin as their homegrown... Johor FA? Maybe Johor FA can play at Muar...

Btw, As a supporter of Johor FC, I would be super glad if Johor FC name remain & not change to Johor... Coz people can confuse between Johor & Johor FA... Anywhere, the supporters have no power against the ruler, but I'm sure TMJ have his own plans... Daulat Tuanku :)

Many MB from Muar doesn't mean anything if they don't do anything to develop Muar town :bash::bash:

Bukit Gambir is developing fast thanks to the developers who are hooking on the still u/c NSE exit. I just hope that it won't become a stagnant but jam-packed small town like Tangkak... :ohno:

I think Ayer Itam has a higher chance of becoming a vibrant town compare to Bukit Gambir as it is located at the border of Batu Pahat and Kluang.

why actually they do not just build a roof like that but connecting from one building to another?(macam pelik je ayat english aku ni)
Isn't that actually better and it can cover the whole road..

Caius the Shadow

November 12th, 2012, 01:39 PM

The cost to build this thing is around RM1-2 mil and it took them around 2 years to complete it... I think it'll will take forever for them to cover the whole street in Muar with this fun fair roof :nuts::nuts:

TBH, I dont really like this uptown project as it will make the traffic congestion in Muar town center to become worst. Muar already has an under-utilised second bridge + Muar Bypass. MPM should do something to attaract people to go there as that area has lots of potential. Hopefully the Sierra Maharani project that is still u/c will turn that part of Muar to become a vibrant new township like JB's Bukit Indah/Sutera Utama or if that is not possible, it can be like Batu Pahat's Flora Utama :cheers:

Maybe YDP Muar try to adjust the design with Muar's status as a Bandar Pencen / Retirement Town. :nuts: Shame on him for choosing this design.

What is It about this country that governments like to build second links far from the first crossings? In most well connected cities around the world, a bridge crossing can be found a few city blocks away from the first. Here they probably build it for political reasons only.

I second to that Vince!! Maybe we should put this findings in the Only in Malaysia thread. :cheers:

No, I mean for that particular road only. Isn't it cheaper because they will not have to build the tiang from the ground, instead just one roof covering that uptown road only.

For the second bridge, yes it is under utilised but it actually opens new area for new development.

LEDANG – Pekan Bukit Gambir yang kini berubah wajah apabila turut mengalami transformasi dan pembangunan yang begitu pesat.

Kerancakan pembangunan di pekan ini bermula sekitar tahun 2000, iaitu kira-kira 10 tahun selepas kejadian kebakaran besar yang hampir memusnahkan deretan kedai di pekan tersebut.

Bermula dengan pembinaan bangunan kedai dan perumahan, pekan Bukit Gambir kini memiliki pusat komersial termasuk pasar raya dan institusi perbankan.

Selepas diiktiraf sebagai bandar baru Bukit Gambir pada 2003, Bukit Gambir berjaya menyaingi kemajuan Bandar Tangkak yang terletak kira-kira 23 kilometer dari pekan itu.

Adun Gambir, M. Asojan berkata, pembangunan di sini terus rancak dengan pembinaan Plaza Tol Bukit Gambir oleh Plus Expressways Bhd (Plus ).

Menurutnya, projek bernilai kira-kira RM80 juta itu dijadualkan siap pada penghujung Disember tahun hadapan, dibina khusus untuk kemudahan pengguna lebuh raya dan penduduk Bukit Gambir.

“Apabila tol Bukit Gambir siap, saya menjangkakan Bukit Gambir akan terus menjadi tumpuan dan pilihan masyarakat luar.

“Ketika ini, fasa pertama pembinaan Plaza Tol Bukit Gambir sudah siap 60 peratus, manakala fasa kedua baru bermula 10 peratus,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian.

Asojan berkata, apabila plaza tol itu siap, Bukit Gambir akan menjadi lebih sibuk dan bilangan penduduk juga dijangka bertambah berbanding ketika ini mempunyai 40,000 penduduk.

"Selain itu, Bukit Gambir Sentral yang menempatkan perhentian bas dan teksi bakal dibina tidak lama lagi berhampiran pasar awam dan pasar raya Econsave.

“Perbincangan sudah dalam peringkat akhir yang mana Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Negeri (Upen) dan Majlis Daerah Tangkak telah melakukan kajian dan Kerajaan Negeri juga sudah meluluskan peruntukan.

“Projek ini dianggarkan bernilai RM2 juta dan dijangka pembinaannya dimulakan awal tahun hadapan,” katanya.

Walau bagaimanapun, beliau berkata, dalam kerancakan pembangunan di Bukit Gambir, kawasan bermasalah yang sering dilanda banjir kilat seperti di Taman Seri Jaya tidak diabaikan.

“Kerja-kerja menaik taraf sistem perparitan ini membabitkan kos bernilai RM1 juta telah dilakukan dua peringkat pada 2009 dan 2010.

“Satu lagi kawasan Pusat Perniagaan Taman Jingga berhampiran persimpangan Jalan Sengkang juga di naik taraf dengan meminta pihak pemaju supaya memastikan sistem perparitan mengalir ke sungai berhampiran bagi mengelakkan risiko banjir kilat,” katanya.

Katanya lagi, jalan raya di pekan Bukit Gambir turut dilebarkan menjadi empat lorong bagi melancarkan aliran trafik berikutan pertambahan drastik jumlah kenderaan pengguna jalan raya.

Beliau berkata, kepesatan pembangunan telah memberi impak kepada pasaran hartanah di sini yang menyebabkan harga melonjak lebih tinggi.

“Banyak kawasan perumahan baru dibuka yang menyediakan pelbagai kategori bermula rumah kos rendah hingga rumah mewah,” katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Asojan berkata, beliau berkeyakinan dengan konsep pembangunan terancang, masalah sosial yang sering dikaitkan dengan pembangunan akan dapat dikawal.

“Ini kerana Majlis Daerah Tangkak tidak meluluskan lesen untuk membuka pusat hiburan seperti karaoke dan snuker di sini” katanya.

Tambahnya, Bukit Gambir bakal menjadi pusat komersial yang diharapkan terus mengekalkan tawaran harga yang murah dan kompetitif.

“Jika dapat mengekalkan harga rendah seperti hari ini, saya yakin Bukit Gambir dapat menarik lebih ramai kunjungan masyarakat luar untuk berbelanja,” katanya.

Penduduk Bukit Gambir, Salamah Abu Bakar, 36, berkata, sebagai anak jati Bukit Gambir, dia gembira dengan usaha dilakukan kerajaan untuk membangunkan kawasan ini.

“Pekan ini yang dulunya kurang dikunjungi dan tidak dikenali kini bertukar wajah dan semakin meriah dengan kehadiran pengunjung.

“Jika 10 tahun lalu dia terpaksa ke bandar Tangkak atau Muar untuk mendapatkan barangan keperluan atau khidmat perbankan tetapi kini, semuanya boleh didapati di pekan ini,” katanya.

Sultan Ibrahim declares Bandar Maharani as Johor’s first royal town

26-11-2012

MUAR: The town, once regarded as a sleepy hollow, has become alive with a hive of activities in conjunction with the five-day birthday celebration of Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.

The celebrations, which began on Nov 21 with the Tahlil and thanksgiving prayers at Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar, ended with a dazzling fireworks display along Sg Muar late Sunday.

The highlight of the celebration was when Sultan Ibrahim declared Bandar Maharani here as the state’s first royal town. Other events include a mammoth tea party, which was attended by thousands and an array of water spot activities along the Muar River.

The celebrations were not only during the day but even at night with float processions and concerts performed by local Johor-born artists.
Sultan Ibrahim, accompanied by his consort Raja Zarith Sofia Sultan Idris Shah and their children, including the Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim were present at most of the events.

Many locals were dazzled and marvelled with all the various activities and described the celebrations as the grandest ever held in Bandar Maharani.
Visitor Kamariah Aripin, 23, said she was impressed with the cleanliness of the town with all the pre-war buildings painted with a fresh coat of paint along with newly resurfaced roads.

“This made the town look vibrant,” she said, adding that her whole family came to Muar to take part in the festival.
Grandfather Jumat Salleh, 64, who came with his three grandchildren, said he would take his grandchildren to see the Sultan whenever there were Royal functions in town.

“They have to know who is their Ruler and are happy to be here during his historic event in Muar,” said the retired soldier.

Meanwhile, prominent politician Tan Sri G. Pasamanikam regarded the celebration and the declaration of the royal town as appropriate and timely.
He said the late Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar Sultan Ibrahim opened Bandar Maharani more than 125 years ago and it was among the most “well planned” town in the state.

He said the town had many beautifully designed old buildings such as the Sultan Ibrahim building, the Muar High School, the old police station, the old Muar courthouse and the post office.

At the mammoth tea party at the Stadium Sultan Ibrahim on Thursday, thousands flocked to catch a glimpse of the ruler together with members of the royal family.

Local and foreign dignitaries including Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s wife Ho Ching were present at the event.
Also present was Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman and his wife Datin Paduka Prof Dr Jamilah Ariffin.
The crowd was entertained by various cultural dances, band performance by the police and other performances.
There were also about 60 stalls serving various kinds of local delicacies and even fast food.

Never heard bout that Manipal College. Well, I will welcome any kind of developement to come to Muar. Even if it is Rajagobal Football Academy :lol:

Not sure about those students will come to Muar or not. Muar and Melaka is only 40 km apart. Knowing Malaysian people well, travelling 30-40 km distance for the sake of enjoyment is no big deal. It's quite clear actually which place they will choose. AEON Bandaraya Melaka vs Wetex Parade Muar or Mydin Melaka vs Giant Muar. :bash:

MANIPAL currently has one campus near melaka hospital. I think its a private universiti from india.

Too be fair, being near melaka is a disadvantages as well as advantages for muar. Just give those 10million tourist that visit melaka to come to muar then.

Right now, Muar can only relies on herself since Malacca has slow down her urban sprawling activities and Batu Pahat is sprawling at the Kluang direction. This means that no spillover effect will come to Muar from both sides!! :bash:

II think it's better if Tg Agas is reserved as industrial area. It's better if they develope danga bay type at Tanjung Emas. Well let's just dreaming about that thing to happen. We both know it wont happen if our lifetimes. :ohno:

I'm afraid that will happen... Similar like Skudai --> JB and Shah Alam ---> KL. But I just want to remain positive and optimist about this thing. Muar has remain idle/stagnant for too long now but at least these projects will kick start someting . A new township is guarantee to be built and MP Muar can gain a large sum tax money.

Been there before, the water is rather muddy as compared to the nice green color in the photo maybe due to tidal effect? Anyway, the whole marina is totally deserted. Good project in the wrong location or right location with a wrong project? Should had spent the money to build a modern fishing pier and market for our fishermen. Of course not at the same location of the marina.

The construction of MAharani Specialist Hospital has already started. It has similar design like Pasir Gudang KPJ Hospital. Same architect I think... The last time I check ( 1 week ago), they had reached this stage:

Haha well I think Muar old folks just came out with this theory as back then, building this kind of bridge was deemed as impossible (1962) . None of the engineer at that time care to to explain the procedure to them.. They might have mistaken the piling procedure as the human heads planting process.. :nuts:

Wonders if our local boys know hypermarket business models. Used to work for one.

It involves selling few stuff at loss but attracted customers to buy in droves as fast as u can. The profit margin is low but As you would pay the supplier at least 6 month after. U deprive most profits on high yield short term investment.

Well Mydin can do it and I'm sure the rest can do also. JK. evryone knows that Mydin got Fed to back him but we have lots of other independent but successful homegrown Hypermarket chains. Kipmart, C-Mart , Tunas Senja? (senja or manja not sure) are the living examples. People nowadays don't care about Giant or Tesco or Carrefour brand hypermarket or Mickey Mouse hypermarket, as long as it is cheap and close to their house, then they will come. I think in supermarket/hypermarket business, the yearly profit is just a mere 2%-5% from tenth millions of selling but profit is still profit. Well I think those boys know this already.

All in all, I like this new trend of our local boys building their own hypermarket since our Gov let Giants to run havoc with hundreds of store in Malaysia. Johor alone has 19 Giant stores. They even went as far as Mersing . It's about time to stop them. Same like Tesco too. Both need to be stopped from spreading. I hate monopoly or duopoly

Wallmart fails in Korea. And it not like our bigboys haven't try to jv with them but given the saturation of hypermarket in Malaysia they aren't interested.

MUAR - Kerajaan memperuntukkan lebih RM1 bilion untuk melaksanakan tiga fasa pembinaan projek Rancangan Tebatan Banjir (RTB) Lembangan Sungai Muar bagi mengatasi masalah banjir di daerah ini.

Menteri Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar Datuk Seri Douglas Uggah Embas berkata, apabila keseluruhan pembinaan RTB yang meliputi daerah Segamat, Muar, Ledang dan Pagoh itu siap kelak, ia dijangka mampu melindungi 123.2 km persegi kawasan yang dihuni 12,500 orang daripada ancaman banjir.

This is a phase by phase project. I just hope that they can at least complete Phase 1. That's my minimal expectation

This thing has been floating around from long before.

But no budget have been ever approve nor that it in the important list to being build. High in their list is kota tinggi. But that place nobody really care lah.

Wondered why u just don't just eat in JB, seafood there are much cheaper not eastcoast cheap. But better than here.

Oh and I know that some nelayan in JB are below poverty, but dont think it apply here thought. I think they are rather wealthy. Seafood here are rather pricy and I don't think they even have middlemen anymore.

JB don't have good makan spot la, just nasik ayam penyet or buy from drivethrus everyday and I can be happy with my life. Right now, I'm addicted to these yummy bread-things called as Subway :lol: Muar is still the best eating place to me. It's not like Muar and JB are being separated by some ridiculous distance, so I can just drive to Muar, eat and go back to JB some hours later.

Oh fishermen in Muar are wealthier than those in JB? I guess those middlemen are leeching the profit from them. Such a sad situation .. I think the large amount of hypermarkets in JB is one of the reason why they can't sell their catch at a very high price. Without the middlemen, those fishermen cannot sell their catches by themselves, unlike in Muar where they can just set up a stall near the main road , and voila, cars stop and buy from them.

Victims of her own success!

Attracted to many people, people create kampung, kampung land over generation subdivided into lots, then the lots have plenty of name. Too many name make problems, too much fighting, tamak haloba, cannot make a decisions. no politicians nor developers want to get into this mess. So they move to BP/Kluang where it so much cheaper/easier. (plenty of kelapa sawit money too). These town grew richer and muar found herself in the middle of neighbouring bigger town, soon her population stab her in the back by going shopping/entertaining @ those town furthering muar slow crawl to die.

Ermm I notice the shophouses project near Jalan Salleh but never see or hear any project for a hypermart or drivethru restaurant at Jalan Salleh? Could you please snap some pics and post it here?

I am a newbie here and still not yet able to post the pic here... According to the board, TF-Value Mart will operate there...the site for drivethru restaurant is reserved for the investor to venture in... This project is located near to Taman Mas Jaya of Jalan Salleh.

I noticed there is a shop houses project going on at Jalan Parit Setongkat, just started to have the site clear..

Another project called Bakri Junction also going on..the design of the shop houses is quite modern but I am not sure where is it exactly...

Never actually been to the Edu Hub site but seeing that parts of UTHM building, I guess it is progressing well. Sime Darby got the job to build the Edu Hub, so I think you can safely assume that it is progressing well.

Ya, I have no worries with Sime Darby at all.. I personally think the jalan linking Muar - Bkt Pasir - Pagoh should be upgraded to at least 2 lanes for each direction especially after this Edu Hub and HSR Station will have completed.

I just wish that we can have better connectivity with Batu Pahat... Economically, Batu Pahat is a lot stronger than Muar. The town will also have her own RM 500 million seaport that is currently under constructions. Muar needs the spillover from Batu Pahat in order to help push it to another level as I can see that Kota Tinggi and Pontian are catching Muar at a very fast rate.

I do know tesco is from UK but I think they are operating using franchising system in Malaysia. Similar like KFC/McD I think. So no, Tesco Malaysia is not a direct investments from foreigners.

Haha u're getting ahead way too soon la. Muar don't even have a second mall to compete with Wetex Parade and suddenly you want AEON to come? haha. Well I wouldn't reject the idea , just have to wait the completion of Edu hub first.

i didn't know that Tesco is using franchising system..no wonder the interior design not really international system...

Developers in muar only know to build shophouses.. they only look at short term profit.. KCC do develop mall at tj agas but look at it's condition now.. haiz...when muar will get it's second shopping mall?? not even have a cinema now also... come la, aeon, come.....

It's not exactly franchising system but very similar to it.

Haha the failed mall in Tangjung Agas was built without proper planning. People who comes from Tangkak/Melaka direction will have a hard time to enter the mall as they need to make a U-turn. Small Mall that requires people to make U-turn will definitely fail. Luckily the KFC and Guardian still open there.

Heard about it too but Tesco is everywhere la, cheapo and dont have anything special about it... But daengjal told me that Tesco is related to that 8% ASB dividends.. Might have to change my perspective a lil bit. :lol:

Never actually been to the Edu Hub site but seeing that parts of UTHM building, I guess it is progressing well. Sime Darby got the job to build the Edu Hub, so I think you can safely assume that it is progressing well.

Hahaha. Yes. Tesco in Malaysia is a joint venture with sime darby ( a Malacca born company who not investing in her own state anymore) which is also own by PNB.

I also hear mydin is also looking for sites in Muar. Anyway I don't think trader's in town are so pleased with it. Giants itself suck big time so town trader still has a fighting chance.

For aeon it's not hard to imagine as even Manjung has one

POLLUTED: New technology will be used to clean up the river
MUAR: THE Sungai Bentayan project which cost RM120,000 is expected to end by January next year.
The 9.5km stretch of river is polluted with food and industrial waste.
Bentayan state assembly (DUN Bentayan) division organising committee chairman Chris Lee Ching Yong said J-Biotech Environment Sdn Bhd was granted a contract to treat the river by using microorganisms (EM) technology.
He said the initiative was taken to restore the river as its poor condition has tarnished the image of Muar as a royal town.

The river is very dirty and I wonder how are they going to stop people from polluting the river as the river is strectching along the town at the back of many premises.

Whether the HSR station is Pagoh, Muar, Bukit Gambir or Tangkak it's not the real issue. The real issue is how well, punctual and efficient are the public transport connectivity (namely bus and taxi) with these towns??? Is it a world class connectivity like this world class project?? Or another failing third world cowboy style public transport connectivity??? Or else if it's only 10km or less from Pagoh or Muar town, you still have a big problem to reach the HSR station if the public transport connectivity sucks if you don't have somebody to drive you there.

This is the same issue that I had posted earlier. Out of those three towns (Tangkak, Bukit Gambir, Pagoh), Pagoh is the worst when it comes to public transportation. Taxi service almost non-existent and as for bus services, the frequency is once in 1.5/2 hour serving the Muar - Pagoh - Bukit Kepong route.
Compare to Tangkak which has decent taxi services as well as bus services from Muar, Segamat and Melaka with 45 minutes frequency.

Taxi services on the other hand are just part time jobs for those pencen uncles. Going out at 8.00 am, balik rumah lunch n lepak2/tido at 11/12 noon, continue driving taxi at 3 pm, go back home at 6/7 pm. I think only in Muar where taxi drivers treated their job as part time jobs :nuts: One thing I like about the taxi service is, they will only charge u RM3 for a 10-15km trip :cheers:. Showing how carefree and simple these uncles are.

Unless Malaysian government want to become the laughing stock of the whole world. The government better rapidly improve the bus and taxi services and connectivity of these public transport services with the station and nearby towns. Simply because this is a world class project and it will become a global/world focus. And the federal, state and district or even the municipal government better buck up the public transport services and connectivity between the towns or locations with HSR station before the completion of HSR, or else the federal government will really become the laughing stock of the whole world and once more prove their incompetent that might destroy such an advance world class project. That's why SPAD must make sure no more cowboy style or third world public transport services that connect with her stations before HSR completed. Especially those stations located at/nearby smaller towns namely Ayer Keroh, Muar and Batu Pahat.

If the federal government can spend more than RM100 million indirectly and directly in total for Janji Ditepati activities alone (tv advertising, promotions, nationwide tours, staff emolument, rental and purchase of equipment, logistic cost, hire celebrities, artistes etc etc) . This haven't include the government spent RM20 million (also indirectly and directly on UMNO AGM), this also haven't include other expenditures and expenses that government used for other propaganda and so called "promotion" activities. I don't need the government to fully stop all these "ACTIVITIES", if the government cut down the cost for these "ACTIVITIES" 50% a year from year to year. I believe the government actually got EXTRA or even enough expenses to improve the most basic public transport system, bus or taxi in smaller town like Muar, Pagoh, Bukit Gambir, Tangkak, Parit Sulong, Merlimau etc etc. Unfortunately, the government don't know how to be prudent in the "correct" way and this is what happen.

Haha don't be naive. Even if the gov wants to spend that RM100 million for the rakyat, they won't spend it to Johor state, let alone Muar. We Johorean have been bullied for so long by federal government, so get used to it dear. I blame most of these messes towards that stupid Mahathir era and his anti-Johor policies as well as our incompetent state gov. But Jeffrey Ang, let's stop this blame game will ya

Our Johor state governments owns MAJU BUS COMPANY. Currently, MAJU buses operates in JB and Batu Pahat only. Perhaps if our ADUN/Majlis Perbandaran do their jobs properly, then we can have MAJU buses to serve here in Muar.

Another option that is to rely on our local people to start their own bus service similar like Kluang's Gunung Lambak bus operator which provides services in most taman's in Kluang. They even serve the FELDA settlement such as Bukit Tongkat and Ulu Belitong. My experince in using Gunung lambak services was quite pleasant. The question is, who want to step up and open this kind of business?

Public transport is not a profit making venture. If anyone try to monetize it then most likely it would be expensive or horrible services. Fortunately, Malaysian tauke manage to do both:lol:

Not only u ride the most horrible busses, with long wait time and long journey. U also pay more for tickets than the equivalence petrol prices for your car.

The government of johor still haven't realised it. The don't do nothing on their own, they also don't invite rapid in. Probably they friends2 with bus tauke maybe.

As effective or well funded a public transport is. It won't be popular or used if the usage of private vehicle aren't control. Other countries used toll, expensive road tax,parking, congestion charges, fuel tax to discourage polluter and increased PT usage.

Another friend of PT is proper planning with mix usage and density. However as we as people love driving so much and have incest on landed properly and like big mall, Office are made up on top floor of shop, thanks to the horrible popularity of shoplot. Thus no matter how much money we throw, PT won't work effectively in this situation.

Our people think nothing of polluting.they think it their right!, just like how they like breaking the law.they get mad if anyone try to saman them. And they think a further rise in fuel subsidies is their born right. Personally, I think Malaysian bitch about PT,because they hoping SOMEONE'S else ride it, so less jammed would be for their car.

It always good for ego to blame everyone else and take no responsibility. The choices We made are the one that land us in this maze. Probably it time to introduce a dictatorship that finally solve all problems by making sure no stupid individual choices are made.:lol:
