There's a new Singaporean/Malaysian restaurant in the Bay Area, right in
Berkeley too. The name of the restaurant is Restoran Rasa Sayang, and the
address is 1902 University Avenue, Berkeley CA 94704. The telephone
number is (510)-549-9696. It's run by Malaysian indians, I think, and
the menu has items like Lamb Curry Puff, Ayam Lemak, Roti Chanai, Beef
Rendang, Nasi Briyani Kambing, Rojak and Achar. Prices are ok. it's only
been open for 4 days now, so do go check it out. It's about 3-4 blocks
away from the Cal campus.

I am not affiliated with the restaurant. I just eat there. =)

Great news, dude!
	I wonder why Rashid only does well in Stadium Negara, if he did
as well elsewhere he would surely be world champion by now.
	Recently, I played in the National Capitol Games badminton tournament
in the University of Maryland.  Guess who won? None other than our 
1986 Thomas cup 3rd singles player, Andy Choong Weng Kai.  Are there any other
Malaysian badminton players out there on the net?

The Royal Malaysian Customs and Excise Department, clarifying a recent
budget day speech by Malaysian Minister of Finance Anwar Ibrahim, has
said that the import duty on assembled computers and many
computer-related products was abolished with effect from November 30,
1992.  The relevant duty rates had ranged from 5 to 25 percent on some
600 items.
 
Software (5 percent duty) is included in the exempt products group; most
component level hardware (up to 40 percent duty) remains non-exempt.  A
10 percent sales tax will remain in effect on all computer and
computer-related products.  Moreover, the government has imposed a new
five percent tax on four businesses earlier exempt, including
telecommunications services.

There is a new restaurant in San Francisco serving S'pore/M'asian food
called "Straits Cafe".  I have not been to that restaurant, I have read
some reviews that they serve the food in the traditional manner on a
bannana leaf (I don't know if that is traditional....atleast not in
Brunei).  Well it is in India ofcourse.

Bukit Merah -- a small, mainly Chinese village located 2 miles from Menglembu,
Ipoh, Perak. The only thing dividing the village and the factory is a main street,
which leads all the way to Pangkor Island. You can't miss it, it's huge and
spews out clouds of white smoke. 

>I just would like to know the specific locaton for that particular case.

BTW, years ago people had demonstrated in front of the factory.... all got
arrested. If this incident is happening in USA, you can bet your life all
the 4 major TV network will have it on headline news. But the factory is in
a small, little known village called Bukit Merah.

Hellow, friends.
I'm a student in Electoro Comunication University in Tokyo.

Yestarday, We (mainly, student in Keio Univ and who greduate there) discussed
with Steven Gan from ASA (Asian Student Association) about how can we 
(students in Asia) make solidarity with each other. Especialy, now, japanese
troops has been sent overseas.

Steven said that, to make solidarity with Asia, we (Japanese) must know more
and more about Japanese Inperialistic aspect toward other Asian countrys.
And usually there exist Information Imperialism problem that imformation
distributed to people is limited by Western journalist. For example, news of
Typhoon occurd in America distributed through satelite, cable TV, before 
domestic news. And we also frustrating about limited information about Asia
distributed through Japanese mass-communication media.

And Steven and I discussed about how can these Network system work to solute
 these problems. I sugessted, now we are trying to make node of APC in Japan.
He answerd, ASA now acsess to USENET and know about APC, but, to communicate
with each other, we must brake language barrear between us, and person who
can use these equipment is still limited. But it is important to translate
"rare information".

So I think we must struggle to learn English to communicate (rather trivial!)
and must concern that we must not make situation that only who
share equipment can be actvist.

So I'm grateful for you, if you give any suggestion for this subject.

I was in Bay area and was lucky to find the restoran in its 2nd day
of business.  I tried curry laksa and curry ayam with rice, and kopi
Malaysian style, and teh.  Not bad.  Lunch was only $4.  It is 
operated by Indian brothers from Klang. It is located at Univ. Ave
(the main road going into UC Berkekey), and 2 blocks from McDonald
near the I-80 side, with green/white exterior.

Subject: A couple of factual information

Here are two pieces of factual information which I learned last summer
when I was there.  Any policy implications which may be derived out of
these 2 pieces of information are welcome.

(1)  Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Melayu.
     I was told by a family member who is in the seconadary teaching
profession that Bahasa Malaysia in SPM has been officially changed to
Bahasa Melayu.  I didn't enquire such change is also true for STPM and
at the varsity level.

(2)  New Identity card
     The new Malaysian identity card contains no "Tanah Melayu" words
in it compared to its predecessor.

Aside:  I also learned that there are Christians in UMNO.  Those few
I came across in NST are from Sabah.
