Lirik Lagu Illusi - Adira AF8

Rasa suasana riang berdua
Saatku kau lupakan saja
Menari di minda hingga terleka
Beralih ke alam yang nyata

Tersentuh bagai dejavu
Beribu batu lebar sayapku

Chorus
Pabila bercinta dan dicinta
Cari cinta
Cinta mega
Biar cinta jadi fenomena
Tertusuk sudah aku panahanmu
Panahanku hak milikmu
Biar panahku terus di situ

Inilah petanda telah bermula
Ilusi baru dalam sketsa
Memenuhi masa dengan ceria
Bagai ledakan supernova

Tersentuh bagai dejavu
Beribu batu lebar sayapku

Ulang Chorus

Ilusi
Biar ia dijadikan realiti
Aku menyanyi
Biar diriku mencapai rentak infiniti
Nan tinggi

Tersentuh bagai dejavu
Beribu batu lebar sayapku

Ulang Chorus

Lirik Lagu Indah Dewi Pertiwi – Aku Tidak Berdaya

Masa yang terindah
Kini semua telah berakhir
Karena kau berubah
Tak seperti dulu lagi

Sampai kapan kamu sering menyalahi hatiku
Tak pernah kau tahu begitu sakitnya aku
Kau anggap diriku
Melihatku dengan sebelah matamu

Delima untuk diriku
Mencintaimu mengerti kamu
Biarkanku bersalah di depan mukamu
Selalu kau membenarkan apa katamu
Cintamu membuatku sedih dan tak berdaya
Namunku terlanjur cinta

Kau anggap diriku
Melihatku dengan sebelah matamu
Delima untuk diriku
Mencintaimu mengerti kamu

Biarkanku bersalah di depan mukamu
Selalu kau membenarkan apa katamu
Cintamu membuatku sedih dan tak berdaya
Namunku terlanjur cinta

Lirik Lagu - Prahara Dan Asa: Rino

Terhempas aku dalam fitnah
Yang mendera jiwa dan mencebik sukma
Tetapi ku tak tentu arah
Hingga sebekas menguntum langgaku

Dalam mihrab cinta ku regup firmannya
Terangi jalanku ku sujud padanya
Dalam mihrab cinta prahara dan asa
Putus duka lara ku pasrah padanya

Ku berdiam dendam yang membara
Ku pasarahkan semua pada yang kuasa
Ku yakin tiada satu jua hentikan kuasanya
Untuk mengubah segalanya

Dalam mihrab cinta ku regup firmannya
Terangi jalanku ku sujud padanya
Dalam mihrab cinta prahara dan asa
Putus duka lara ku pasrah padanya

Bak kut teh fest draws crowd in Klang
By CHRISTINA TAN
newsdesk@thestar.com.my

KLANG: Thousands thronged the Hokkien Association hall here from early morning to feast on bowls of bak kut teh and rice.

Traffic was also unusually heavy along Jalan Batu Tiga Lama due to the crowds at the bak kut teh food festival.

Many people queued up in front of the hall from as early as 7am yesterday for the Chinese soup which literally translates into “pork bone tea” and is popularly served in the district.

Some 40 vendors took part in the festival themed “Fabulous Food 1Malaysia”, which was held to raise funds for four independent Chinese schools and 21 Chinese primary schools in Klang.

More than 4,000 bowls of bak kut teh with rice were served during the charity event jointly organised by Komuniti Bestari Bandar Klang, the Kapar MCA division and the Klang MCA division.

Kapar MCA division chief Datuk Song Kee Chai said that besides raising funds for the Chinese schools, the event was also meant to promote Klang’s unique bak kut teh to Malaysians and foreigners.

He said eating bak kut teh, which consists of meat simmered in a broth of herbs and spices, had become part of the culture and symbol of Klang for generations.

A total of RM12,000 was raised at the event from 9am to noon.

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen, who was represented by her political secretary Datuk Wong Ban Seng, said she hoped the popularity of Klang bak kut teh would expand to other countries and attract more foreigners to the country.

She said the Government had been actively promoting Malaysia’s street food as a tourism product.

“Food tourism is one of our key products and in 2008, the country made RM8.7bil in food bills from the total RM49.5bil tourism receipts,” she said in her speech read by Wong.

In 2009, Malaysia saw a 6% rise in food consumed by tourists, totalling RM9.29bil, she added.

Bak kut teh vendor Jimmy Ng, 54, said he and his wife started the business in 1979 in Taman Eng Ann.

“It is a great honour to participate in the event with many other vendors and for charity and to help promote Klang at the same time.

Ng, who prepared 100 bowls of bak kut teh yesterday, said he hoped such events would continue and bring prosperity to Klang.

100 nails and screws found on road
By EDMUND NGO
edmundngo@thestar.com.my

GEORGE TOWN: About 100 pieces of nails, screws and bolts were found strewn over a busy stretch of road here, sparking fears that they could have been deliberately scattered by unscrupulous people.

The sharp objects were found yesterday morning along a 10m stretch of Lebuh Sungai Pinang, before the turn into the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

It is believed this was the first time such objects had been found near the expressway, although such cases had previously been reported on the Penang Bridge.

A member of the public spotted them at 11am and contacted Sungai Pinang assemblyman Koid Teng Guan.

Koid then sent his special assistant, M. Vijay Ananthan, who is Kampung Rawa village development and security committee (JKKK) chairman, to investigate.

The Penang Municipal Council was then called in to help sweep the dangerous objects off the road.

While waiting for council workers to arrive, Vijay borrowed a broom and dustpan from a nearby shop to sweep the nails.

“I heard some vehicles that passed through the stretch suffered punctures,” he said.

Policemen patrolling the area diverted the traffic until the area was cleared.

Penang police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob said they would investigate the matter.

“We can’t speculate that they were scattered there on purpose as they might have fallen off a lorry.

“We have not received any reports over this,” he said, urging eyewitnesses to come forward to assist police investigations.

The scattering of nails is common on the Penang Bridge by some quarters out to make a fast buck by replacing punctured tyres.

In July 1995, more than 1kg of nails were found by Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd employees.In the same month, a 34-year-old mechanic was caught in connection with the scattering of nails on the bridge.

Man stabs pregnant lover 19 times
By AUSTIN CAMOENS
newsdesk@thestar.com.my

KOTA TINGGI: In a fit of jealousy, a jobless man repeatedly stabbed his pregnant girlfriend and doused her with acid. He exploded in rage on learning that the 17-year-old girl was having an affair with another man.

The teenager, said to be 24 weeks’ pregnant, was stabbed 19 times and suffered massive loss of blood in the incident on Thursday.

She also lost her baby, doctors at the Sultan Ismail Hospital here said.

“Initial investigations revealed that the suspect, aged 42, had known the girl since she was 12,” said Deputy Supt Muhammad Shamsudin, adding that the girl sustained stab wounds to her buttocks, stomach, back and limbs during the attack at her Kampung Baru Sungai Redan home here.

He said the victim was now on a respirator.

“We have retrieved the knife and acid container used in the attack,” he said, adding that the suspect surrendered at the Ulu Tiram police station and confessed to the crime.

DSP Muhammad said the suspect told police interrogators that he was enraged when he found out that his girlfriend was having an affair.

He said the victim was with her 13-year-old sister and a two-year-old niece when the suspect barged into their house at about 9.15am.

“According to the sister, the suspect kicked open the door, went straight for his girlfriend and stabbed her,” he said.

“After repeatedly stabbing her, the suspect went outside the house and returned with a container of acid, which he doused over her body before fleeing.”

An elder sister working at nearby Desa Cemerlang, rushed to the house on hearing the news. The victim was taken to the Sultan Ismail Hospital where she was warded at the intensive care unit. Her condition is critical.

The suspect has been remanded until Dec 21 to help with investigations.

The case is being investigated under Section 307 and Section 326 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and causing grievous hurt.

DSP Muhammad urged anyone with information on the case to contact the police hotline at 07-221 2999 or visit the nearest police station.

Iking’s daughter is not ex-hubby’s child, court told

KUALA LUMPUR: The DNA of Daphne Iking’s three-year-old child does not match that of her ex-husband, a magistrate’s court heard.

Ryan Chong Yiing Yih, 32, claimed that the results of a paternity test stated he was “excluded from being the biological father” of the child.

He was testifying in a private summons against corporate figure Darren Choy Khin Ming, 45, under Section 498 of the Penal Code.

Choy was charged with enticing Iking, knowing that she was a married woman, with the intention of having sexual intercourse.

He allegedly committed the offence at a condominium unit in Taman Tun Dr Ismail here between July 2007 and September last year.

If found guilty, Choy can be jailed up to two years, fined or both.

During examination-in-chief by his lawyer, Wong Kian Kheong, Chong told the court he had his suspicions about his daughter after reading the e-mail correspondence between Iking and Choy spanning from 2007 to 2008.

Chong said he came across the e-mails on his home computer on Aug 10, 2008.

In an excerpt of an online chat between the two, which he read out in court, Iking was alleged to have told Choy: “I want her (the child) to look like you.”

Other excerpts included her allegedly telling Choy that the baby “has your face shape. Not mine, not Ryan’s. You know you have a Bajau face right?”

In taking the stand, Chong read out e-mails in which Choy addressed Iking as “sweetie”, “baby”, “baby girl” and “Your Highness”.

Choy was also alleged to have written: “I’ve found a special someone. One whom I share all my laughter with so willingly. One who has given me a new lease of life.

“As I write this short note, I realise you are more than special. I’m blessed. So blessed. Never a day goes by without me thinking of my baby.”

One of the e-mails also had a list of some 30 hotels where they had stayed together and also an invitation for Iking to join him on a trip to Vienna and London.

Representing Choy were lawyers Datuk Jagjit Singh and Akbardin Abdul Kader.

Earlier, Wong told the court he had subpoenaed Iking as a witness in court.

However, when the court asked if she would turn up, Wong replied: “Man proposes, God disposes. I can only issue the subpoena.”

The hearing before magistrate Engku Ahmad Rashdi Engku Abdillah continues on Monday.
