Two men run amok, six seriously injured Bernama Email to friend Print article RAUB, SAT: Six people, including three from a family, were seriously injured in two separate amok incidents here and in Temerloh yesterday. In the first incident, a man, who is believed to be mentally retarded, slashed three men with a machete in front of his house at Taman KSN, Sungai Ruan near here at 12.30pm. One of the victims, Hoi Koi, 54, who was slashed on the abdomen is reported to be in a critical condition at the Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh, said Raub police chief Supt Wan Mohd Samsudin Wan Osman. Two other victims, Ng Ah Ka, 51, and Ko Kit Lung, 82, have been warded at the Raub Hospital with slash wounds on the chest and hands. Wan Mohd Samsudin said a 36-year-old suspect, who ran into the secondary forest after the attack, was arrested at a petrol kiosk here at 3.30am. In another incident, a drug addict slashed his mother, brother and sister-in-law, who were having dinner at a restaurant at Taman Rimba, Mentakab at 10.45pm. The 35-year-old man was overpowered by customers and handed to police, said Temerloh police CID chief DSP R. Sundaralingam. He said the assailant was also injured during a scuffle with the customers, who eventually overpowered him. Police recovered a blood-stained machete at the scene. “The victims, who suffered slash wounds on the head and hands, and the assailant have been warded at the Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital and their condition are stable,” he said. |

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsfeatures.php?id=369178 Beguiling Tasik Bera - Malaysia's First Ramsar Site By Mohd Azhar Ibrahim TEMERLOH, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- Tasik Bera consists of seven flooded river valleys that collectively form a riverine lake system measuring 35 km by 20 km and covering an area of 6,150 hectares. It is the largest natural freshwater body in Malaysia. Tasik Bera is of great importance not only because of the rich biodiversity but also from a scientific, recreational, educational and economic point of view. This alluvial peat swamp supports a biological community that is unique to Malaysia. Almost 100 species of freshwater fish, 200 species of birds and 68 species of mammals thrive here. Endangered and vulnerable species include the Asian elephant, tiger, clouded leopard, tapir, Asian Arowana and the Malayan false gharial crocodile. The Purple Water Trumpet or keladi paya survives only in Tasik Bera. There are two distinct wet and dry seasons here with the wet months from April to May and September to January. The water level rises and falls with the seasons, fluctuating from a depth of 1-metre during the dry season, from February to April and June to August, to 7-metre during the monsoon periods. In 1994, Tasik Bera gained international recognition when it was declared Malaysia's first Ramsar site. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is an inter-governmental treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands and their resources. |
