The Latin phrase “omne trium perfectum” is set to

ring true when the KL Fashion Week makes its return

to Pavilion KL for the third year running, again with

pret-a-porter as its theme.

The creations of over 80 designers, both local and

international, will be put on display from 12 to 16

August in the best-ever showing in the series

thus far. They will be presenting their latest

“Runway Collection” exclusively over the

five-day event.

Guests and fashionistas can expect

prominent local designers Khoon Hooi

and Carven Ong to feature their latest

creations, while local celebrities like

Sazzy Falak and Nur Fazura who have

also ventured into the fashion industry and

inspired their own line of clothes, will display

their collections too.

International designers slated to appear at

KL Fashion Week include China (Yesir), United

Kingdom (James Hock), Australia (Savues),

Singapore (Thomas Wee) and Indonesia (Mel

Ahyar). Aside from presenting their work, KL Fashion Week

organisers also hope to facilitate dialogue between players in the

local and international fashion scene as well as promote Malaysian

designers on to the world stage.

A main draw at this year’s event will be the showcasing of up-and-

coming designers. From more than 300 entries, only ten will be

selected as finalists in the AirAsia Runway Ready Designer Search

2015 aimed at discovering new talents among young hopefuls. The

highlight of the competition would be the announcement of the top

Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week has become the main platform

in which local fashion designers are able to present their

work on a grand scale. The initiative has triggered growth

in the Malaysian fashion industry, giving rise to exclusive

design houses, fashion centers, specialized dyeing and

finishing facilities with Malaysian textile and clothing

exports set to double to an annual value of US $7.5 billion

by 2020.

Sounds from the Borneo rainforests at this

time of year are not just of the animal

kingdom variety but the sound of eclectic

music from renowned musicians from all over the

world and even indigenous musicians from the

interiors of Borneo.

The Rainforest World Music festival’s formula of

three afternoons of interactive and educational

workshops, ethno-musical lectures, jamming

sessions, cultural and craft displays, food

stalls and mini concerts, followed by evening

performances on the main stage has proven to

be a hit with audiences who come from near

and far.

Entering its 18th year, it is now one of the largest

musical events in Malaysia with a total weekend

audience approaching 30,000.

With 22 groups of local and foreign musicians

slated to perform this year, visitors can expect

various genres of world beat ranging from

authentic Georgian folk music, traditional

Mongolian music, and a Basque traditional

The Rainforest World Music

Festival, often abbreviated

as RWMF, emphasizes the use

of traditional acoustic world

instruments, although electric

accompaniment instruments

are common. Invited performers

come from Sarawak, other

provinces of Malaysia, and

countries all over the world.

The festival was founded by

Randy Raine-Reusch, a Canadian

world music instrumentalist, Robert

Basiuk (then marketing head of

the Sarawak Tourism Board), Edric

Ong, President of the Society

Atelier of Sarawak, which supports

traditional arts, and Edgar Ong, a

film producer, in 1997.

The Sarawak Tourism Board has

since taken the festival to a larger

audience, hence also to a more

commercial level. During it first

and second year, only about 400

people attended the festival.

It is reported that for 2013, the

festival racked in MYR 37 million.

The festival is held in the grounds

of the Sarawak Cultural Village

nestled against the base of Mount

Santubong, about 35 km north of

Kuching.

The atmosphere is very relaxed.

Although there are timetables

for the workshops and evening

performances, visitors are free

to enter and leave any event at

will. The daytime workshops are

held inside various traditional

houses in the village, where the

performers and leaders of the

events are often on the same

floor-level as the audience,

allowing them to get up close

to the performers. There are also

no restrictions in communicating

with the performers, and the

pada bulan dan bintang

kepada warna kuning untuk

melambangkan warna diraja

bagi raja-raja Melayu dan

juga menambah bucu bintang

Mohamad telah mengistiyarkan

nama bendera Malaysia sebagai

Jalur Gemilang di Dataran

Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur.

Nama Jalur Gemilang di

ilhamkan oleh Md. Rebuan @

Md. Redzuan Tumin Pegawai dari

Jabatan Muzium Antikuiti.

MAKSUD NAMA JALUR GEMILANGJALUR - menggambarkan Bendera Malaysia yang mempunyai 14 jalur merah dan putih. Oleh itu, lambang jalur pada Bendera Malaysia menggambarkan satu haluan yang lurus, hala tuju yang sama dan arah yang sama yang dianuti oleh rakyat negara ini dari Perlis hingga ke Sabah dalam menuju kegemilangan bangsa dan negara.GEMILANG - bermaksud bercahaya, terang-benderang dan cemerlang. Oleh yang demikian Bendera Malaysia Jalur Gemilang memberi pengertian bahawa jalur atau bendera itu melambangkan kecemerlangan negara Malaysia dan rakyat Malaysia dalam mengharungi apa bidang kehidupan sekali pun sama ada di dalam atau di luar negara. Kesungguhan, kegigihan dan kesanggupan rakyat untuk menaikkan imej negara, sesungguhnya sentiasa mendapat petunjuk dan pedoman yang terang lagi jelas.

RELIVE THE DARK AGES AT

TINTAGEL CASTLE


The peninsula of Cornwall

is steeped in history, never

more so than in the village

of Tintagel where the myth

and mystery of King Arthur is

all pervasive, thanks to its most

famous attraction, Tintagel

castle which sits on the edge

of dramatic cliffs that overlook

stunning, uninterrupted views of

the Celtic Sea.

The castle has a long association

with Arthurian legends, being

first associated with King Arthur

by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his

account of British history, the

Historia Regum Britanniae. In

this book, and according to the

legend, Arthur's father, the king

of all Britain, Uther Pendragon,

goes to war against Gorlois, the

Duke of Cornwall, to capture

the wife of Gorlois, Igraine, with

whom Uther has fallen in love.

While Gorlois defends himself

against Uther's armies at his fort

of Dimilioc, he sends Igraine

to stay safely within Tintagel

Castle, which is said to be his

most secure refuge. With trickery

aided by the wizard Merlin,

Uther’s appearance is changed

to that of Gorlois, and thus

disguised, he enters Tintagel,

goes to Igraine, and "in that night

was the most famous of men,

Arthur, conceived."

Tintagel Castle (Cornish: Dintagel,

meaning "fort of the constriction")

is really a medieval fortification.

Steep steps carved into the cliffs take visitors to the top of Tintagel where breathtaking views await


The site was possibly

occupied in the Romano-

British period, as an array

of artefacts dating to this

period has been found

on the peninsula. In the

13th century, during the

Later Medieval period,

after Cornwall had

been subsumed into the

kingdom of England, a

castle was built on the

site by Richard, Earl of

Cornwall, which later fell

into disrepair and ruin. In

the 1930s, excavations

revealed significant traces

of a much earlier high

status settlement, possibly

by Dumnonian royalty and

their entourage, which

had trading links with the

Mediterranean during

the Late Roman period.

Tintagel was a site where

ships carrying their wares

from southern Europe

docked to deposit their

cargo.

Today, visitors may enjoy

a bracing walk down from

the village on a 600-metre

Once a fortified castle, the ruins include a lone cannon at a strategic lookout point and settlements on an adjacent cliff


uneven track to the visitor centre

before climbing up steep steps

onto the island to explore the

cliff top remains of Dark Age

settlements and ruins of the Great

Hall. The steps allow for only one-

way direction, either up or down,

as space is narrow.

Having to cling to the railings

while waiting for groups to either

ascend or descend can test

your patience, especially when

it is chilly and raining and those

groups of people coming at

you consist of brave but elderly

persons and ponies disguised

as dogs! However, the cliff top

views are worth the wait and the

strenuous climb.

A small café at the foot of the

castle is a welcome respite after

your exhilarating climb. Here, hot

cream tea and Cornish scones

are served which you can enjoy

on the café verandah. Be careful

of swooping seagulls though as

they will scoop up your scone the

moment you turn your back on

your food tray!

Platforms at intervals provide respite from the steep climb

Hot scones with jam and curdled cream are best enjoyed after the strenuous

Tiga Dekad Terbangbersama


Siapa sangka, pengalaman tinggal di bawah kolong selama beberapa bulan, dihalau gara-gara gagal membayar

sewa rumah, berkongsi sepinggan mee segera hampir setiap hari, dibayar hanya RM5 setiap seorang untuk persembahan dan lain-lain menjadi perencah kehidupan dan pembakar semangat buat kumpulan rock nombor satu negara, Wings (maaf Search, gua peminat Wings) sejak tahun 1985.Tidak keterlaluan saya katakan ‘lesen’ rock

seseorang mat rock itu tidak akan lengkap jika tidak layan lagu Wings atau sekurang-kurangnya kenal siapa Awie, Joe, Eddie dan Black. Sehingga kini, Wings kekal berpengaruh walaupun irama rock telah melalui pelbagai fasa perubahan gelombang muzik seperti indie rock dan sebagainya. Kaki-kaki jamming masih lagi jamming lagu Wings, vokalis band masih lagi mahu meniru gaya nyanyian dan suara Awie, gitaris-gitaris otai masih perasan

Album Belenggu Irama membuka laluan untuk Wings menempa nama di persada musik tempatan


dia adalah Joe Wings ketika menggoreng solo, drummer sekarang masih lagi mahu bermain dram seperti Black dan bassist masih nak ‘feel’ lagu seperti Eddie. Begitu kuat pengaruh dan cengkaman Wings terhadap industri dan peminat muzik negara ini.Dua puluh lapan album (termasuk album kompilasi), bermula dari album ‘Belenggu Irama’ pada tahun 1987 hingga album ‘Menakluk Kosmos’ pada tahun 2014, sudah cukup untuk membuktikan Wings sebagai lagenda industri muzik tempatan. Sehingga

kini, album-album penuh Wings (tidak termasuk album kompilasi) telah terjual kira-kira 1.4 juta unit.Persoalannya, apakah formula yang digunakan oleh Wings sehingga boleh terbang lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan-kumpulan rock lain di tanahair dan kekal relevan

walaupun selepas 30 tahun?“Saya tiada kepandaian yang lain selain muzik. Oleh itu, saya berusaha sehabis baik untuk mencipta sesuatu menerusi muzik. Sebelum merakamkan album pada tahun 1987, kami banyak bermain di kelab-kelab di sekitar Kuala Lumpur. Banyak cabaran yang harus

ditempuhi pada ketika itu,” kata Eddie ketika ditemui pada Majlis Berbuka Puasa sempena 30 Tahun Wings, Ramadhan lalu.Menurut Eddie, yang sering bertindak sebagai orang tengah atau pendamai kepada ahli-ahli yang lain, semangat dan ikatan adik-beradik di dalam Wings amat kuat.“Kami faham perangai masing-masing. Susah dan senang kami tetap bersama,” jelas Eddie.“Pada ketika itu, peluang untuk menjamah nasi berlaukkan sardin adalah amat istimewa,” tambah Black. Itulah adalah kerana biasanya mereka hanya mampu membeli nasi dan kuah sahaja. Begitu susah untuk berjaya di dalam muzik. Menurut Black, Wings terpaksa melalui proses yang amat teruk dan sukar sebelum menempa nama sebagai penghibur.“Kami bukan datang dari keluarga yang senang. Kami bermula dari kosong. Semua pengalaman ini mematangkan Wings dan ia

tidak boleh dibeli di mana-mana,” kata Awie. Menurutnya, Wings amat serius dalam Rock ‘n Roll dan telah melalui semua pengalaman positif dan negatif di dalam industri ini.“Kami meredah segala-galanya. Pada ketika itu, van adalah hotel kami. Kami mandi di tandas di stesen-stesen minyak,” jelas Awie. “Alhamdulillah, berkat doa-doa dari ibubapa

Vokal Awie masih belum ada tandingannya

Petikan gitar Joe memukau peminat

Kehebatan Eddie di atas pentas


dan keluarga, kami telah berjaya melalui semua ranjau dan cabaran ini,” katanya.“Secara jujur, saya sendiri tidak menyangka Wings boleh bertahan sehingga 30 tahun dan ini mendorong kami untuk memberikan sesuatu yang istimewa buat penyokong-penyokong kami selama ini,” jelas Joe merujuk kepada Konsert Wings 30 Tahun yang akan diadakan di Stadium Merdeka pada 31 Oktober yang akan datang.

Konsert Wings 30 Tahun adalah hadiah untuk peminat setia Wings sejak tahun 1985.“Konsert adalah lain dari yang lain sebelum ini. Ia adalah

satu-satunya konsert yang sangat istimewa dan unik untuk penyokong-penyokong Wings,” kata Eddie.Menurut Awie, “Sesuatu yang indah akan dipamerkan. Konsert Wings 30 Tahun adalah satu kemeriahan di dalam industri muzik Malaysia.”Bersempena dengan konsert tersebut, Wings akan turut mengadakan festival jalanan di perkarangan Stadium Merdeka. “Festival jalanan tersebut juga merangkumi pameran Wings 30 Tahun, busking dan lain-lain lagi,” jelas Joe.Secara ringkasnya, Konsert Wings 30 Tahun adalah perjalanan hidup Wings.

Gelanggang rock Wings kini telah dibuka. Buat mat-mat rock sejak 30 tahun lalu, ini adalah peluang anda untuk sama-sama mengimbau kembali kegemilangan perjuangan muzik Wings bersama-sama Awie, Joe, Black dan Eddie. Tiupkan semula semangat rock di dalam diri kita dan terbang sekali lagi bersama Wings di Stadium Merdeka Oktober ini.- oleh Iskandar Dzulkifli

Children should be properly restrained at all times!

There have been so many cases of accidents involving children being thrown out of a vehicle during a crash because they were not properly secured in a car seat. Yet, the sight of mothers holding their young ones on their laps on the front passenger seat is very common!

Little that they know that a 7 kg child can actually be easily thrown out through the windscreen even though the vehicle is moving at 50 km/h!

A study conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) shows that infants are likely to be the highest victims of accidents due to the fact that they are not properly restrained in cars.

World Health Organization (WHO) in its Global Status Report on road safety in 2013 states that wearing a seat-belt reduces the risk of a fatal injury up to 50% for front seat occupants and up to 75% for rear seat occupants.

Child restraints reduce the likelihood of a fatal crash by approximately 70% among infants and between 54% and 80% among young children.

In addition, 2,200 rear-seat passengers could still survive the 6,282 accidents throughout Malaysia in 2008 if they had worn their seat belts.

Playground Safety Tips

S

AFE

is for Supervision: A surprising number of parents wrongly assume that their children are safe at the playground, and as such, don't pay enough attention to what their children are doing, the equipment they are using, and with whom they may be playing. Don't make this mistake. Be vigilant and supervise the movement of your child in play areas at all times.

is for Fall Surfacing: While most of us supervise and are mindful about who our children are playing with, few of us may realize how important the surface cover surrounding play equipment, and the playground itself, is. Red flags include, but are not limited to, asphalt, concrete and other similar abrasive materials. If you notice any of these materials, it's best to move your child into a safer zone.

is for Equipment Maintenance: Lastly, you want to take a look at the level of equipment maintenance that goes on at your local playground. Is the equipment well-maintained? Does anything squeak? Is rust readily apparent? Remember, frequent maintenance of play equipment significantly reduces the chances that a child will be injured by one of the play pieces. Similar to fall surfacing, this may not be something that occurs to many of us, but just the same, warrants attention.

is for Age Appropriate Equipment: Making sure your child is using age appropriate equipment is key to keeping her or him safe from injury. The bottom line is that children between the ages of two and five do not have the upper body strength, and hand grip size of older children. If you see that your child is playing on equipment that is not suitable for their age, gently guide them away from it. Better yet, play with them on equipment that is age appropriate and have a little bonding time. This way, you both leave the playground happy!

SET A BUDGETBefore chalking out a plan for the holiday, the most important thing is to set a budget. It helps you to plan and enjoy the trip within your limits. Always estimate a little more than what you might need.

PLAN AHEADThe first thing you need to do is to be sure of what you need from this trip. Do you want to experience the local culture or just have fun on those sandy beaches? Strategize your trip according to your needs and likes.

READ UP BEFORE YOU GOPrepare yourself before plunging into an unknown holiday destination. Buy a good guidebook and read up on the culture, history, local attractions of the destination. You can read the local publications on-line or surf the net for more information. The more you know, the better you can enjoy or appreciate the place and their traditions.

PACK LIGHT AND RIGHTPack only the essential things. Avoid carrying unnecessary things around. A heavy luggage may sometimes dampen your holiday spirit. Carry clothes that are comfortable and right for the season. As much as possible try to stuff everything you need in a single carry-on bag.

ALWAYS RESERVE YOUR STAYIt’s always better to book your stay if possible because all you need is a good night’s sleep after an exciting day.

HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONSUnreasonable expectations can lead to unwanted stress, so enjoy the holiday by managing what you can with the time you have. Embrace each moment, whether good or bad.

How to PLAN

for aPERFECT HOLIDAY


Penggunaan PetrolDi Tahap Yang Optimum

• Kurangkan berat/bebanan kereta. Anda juga perlu mengetahui apabila membawa bebanan yang lebih daripada kadar yang sesuai juga menyebabkan kadar penggunaan petrol melebihi dari tahap biasa. Jadi, jangan bawa barang yang tidak perlu (kereta anda bukan stor). Perhatikan dalam but kereta anda, mungkin ada banyak barang yang tidak sepatutnya berada dalam but tetapi dibawa ke sana ke mari. Penambahan berat sebanyak 50 kilogram meningkatkan penggunaan minyak sebanyak 2 peratus).

• Tayar diisi dengan tekanan angin yang betul. Tekanan angin mesti betul. Tekanan angin yang tidak mengikut spesifikasi mengakibatkan penggunaan minyak bertambah 5 peratus. Carta berat dan tekanan angin biasanya terpapar di tempat mengisi angin di mana-mana stesen minyak. Jangan biarkan tayar lembik dan kurang tekanan kerana ia menyebabkan kereta dipandu lebih berat dan ini tidak menjimatkan petrol.

• Kurangkan kelajuan tinggi. Lebih perlahan anda memandu, lebih jimat minyak digunakan (dan tidak disaman). Memandu melebihi 90 kilometer sejam (km/j) meningkatkan dengan ketara penggunaan minyak. Secara perbandingan, pada kelajuan 100 km/j, penggunaan minyak bertambah 10 peratus, 105 km/j (15 peratus) dan 110 km/j (25 peratus).

• Membrek secara beransur-ansur. Jika anda sudah tahu di mana hendak berhenti, misalnya di tol atau stesen minyak di tepi lebuhraya, perlahankan kenderaan secara beransur-ansur. Jangan brek mengejut.

• Rancang perjalanan. Jangan sekali-kali memulakan perjalanan tanpa terlebih dulu merancang jalan mana untuk kita ikut menuju ke destinasi. Ini termasuklah rancangan perjalanan untuk mengelakkan kesesakan lalu lintas dan pilihan jalan yang tidak banyak lampu traffic, banyak bonggol (menyebabkan anda perlu kerap menukar gear yang akhirnya tidak membantu usaha penjimatan petrol kereta anda.

• Panaskan enjin kereta sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Enjin dalam keadaan panas (panas yang normal) juga boleh membantu meningkatkan perbatuan (lebih kilometer) dan prestasi kereta anda. Terutamanya pada waktu pagi, jika boleh, biarkan enjin panas sebelum memulakan perjalanan.

Memandu dengan tenang. Sikap dan cara pemanduan kerana banyak mempengaruhi penggunaan petrol kereta. Jangan gopoh dan membuat sesuatu secara mengejut. Misalnya ketika menuju ke plaza tol atau membelok di selekoh tajam, janganlah tiba-tiba saja menukar gear daripada gear tinggi (misalnya gear 5) kepada gear rendah dan membrek sesuka hati.
