Penang will continue to feature in the Super League when the new season kicks off in January. This was the decision taken at the FA of Penang (FAP) second council meeting yesterday and it ended speculations that the cash strapped association would withdraw their team’s participation in the league. As Penang FA fan, I am so happy with this situation.
Penang football is now at its lowest ebb with the FA unable to pay players and officials their salaries for more than four months. The FAP deputy president gave an assurance that they would settle their debts fully, especially the salaries owed to players.

Volkswagen’s Tiguan arrives
Volkswagen Group Malaysia has launched the Tiguan 2.0 TSI compact SUV. The Tiguan name comes from combining a mixture of two animal names - tiger, which reflects quickness and power , and leguan (or iguana), which indicates a capability of surviving in harsh habitats. It comes equipped with a new four-cylinder 2.0l turbocharged direct injection petrol engine. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox with Tiptronic, and drives on a 4MOTION full-time four-wheel drive system. The block kicks up a wholesome 200bhp at 5,000rpm and maximum torque of 280Nm on the initial 1,700rpm, so the compact SUV has a lot of muscles to flex, be it for city or off-road driving. In conclusion, I think this car is suitable to a person that want a good, power and elegance car. Do you want this car? So, what are you waiting for?

Do you know about the G7 club? This group that involve 7 rich countries. Today, in global economy crisis, what have they do?
The current financial crisis has shown it is time for clubs of rich nations like the Group of Seven to open their doors to key developing countries. "Exclusive clubs of rich countries only really don't make much sense anymore," Kemal Dervis, head of the U.N. Development Program, told reporters. I agree with his statement.
The financial crisis, which began in the United States but has spread across the globe, include our country, Malaysia. It was up to the international community to figure out how to expand clubs like the G7 to integrate top developing nations.

Source : The Star Online
Port Klang, the national load centre, has been experiencing lower import and export cargo handling volume in the past two weeks due to the global economic crisis.
The global economic turmoil will definitely affect both terminal operators’ performance in the current quarter.
The recent reduction in volume could be due to the two major consumer markets that both ports were currently serving, namely Europe and the US.
Last year, Port Klang handled about 7.2 million TEUs (20-ft equivalent units).
