Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Tourists should practise some common sense when walking around. A guideline would be as followed:
* Do not show off your money and valuables in crowded areas. If you do so, expect to get robbed.
* Try to use small change when purchasing merchandise, etc.
* Do not follow anyone to any unlit lanes.
* Do not get down from your car should you be involved in a road accident. Stay in your car and call the police or your friends for assistance. There are cases where muggers create freak accidents and rob their victims afterwards.

Recyclable Xmas tree
Recyclable Xmas tree
A Christmas tree made of recyclable bottles became the conversation piece at the Aeon Bukit Indah atrium here.
Standing at 15 metres in height, the mall’s complex manager Mizi Tan said some 8,000 1.5litre bottles were used built the ornament.
“The tree aims to get shoppers in a Christmas mood and promote a environment-friendly lifestyle.
“This idea is in line with our mall’s recycling campaign to reuse and recycle unwanted items,” she said.
Tan added the bottles were accumulated for four months from four Aeon branches in the city.
The Christmas tree was modelled after another in Aeon Bukit Tinggi in Malacca, which made it into the Malaysia Book of Records as the tallest tree made from recyclable bottles.
“The tree was completed on Nov 24 and will be on display until Dec 27.
“We hope our shoppers will enjoy looking and taking pictures with the tree,” she said.
She added the company comes up with interesting designs and concepts each year to keep things fresh.
In relating his surprise, shopper Tan Ewe Lok said he had never seen such an ornament made from plastic bottles.
“It is an interesting idea and also a good one as it promotes the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle,” said Tan.
Another shopper Ginnie Su Jin Ning, 6, said she took pictures with the tree as a momento.
“It reminds me of a Christmas tree covered in snow because it is in white,” she said.

Checkpoint congestion ahead
Checkpoint congestion ahead
Be prepared for heavy traffic at the two land checkpoints during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said traffic volume at the two land checkpoints is expected to be high for the Christmas period, from December 24 to December 27.
For the New Year period, traffic build-up is also expected from December 31 and the high traffic volume through the checkpoints is expected to last till January 3, 2011.
ICA said travellers using the land checkpoints during these periods can expect delays.
To avoid the surge of people and vehicles seeking clearance at the land checkpoints, ICA is advising travellers to adjust their travel plans and avoid the peak periods altogether.
It said with enhanced security checks, traffic build-up is inevitable, particularly when large number of travellers want to use the checkpoints at the same time.

Shopping malls and hotels create the festive feel
Shopping malls and hotels go the extra mile to create the festive feel
The city is alive with the festive sprit as reflected in Christmas decorations at shoppingcentres and hotels.
Shoppers at Sutera Mall will be greeted by a 6m tall giant Santa Clause when they visit the mall to do their Christmas shopping.
The mall’s senior centre manager Goh Lak Jin said he hoped the Santa Claus figure would add to the mall’s Christmas ambience.
“Other than snowmen and Christmas trees dotted around and inside the mall, there is a huge Christmas tree in the main atrium with 337 cards hanging from it.
“Christmas cards with well wishes were written by residents from Kiwanis Care Heart Association and Pusat Kebajikan Calvary Johor,” he said.
The Zon Johor Baru marketing communication manager Elina Tan said the Christmas decoration at the hotel was themed ‘Adventure Safari’.
“Our staff will be also dressed in safari attire because we wanted to be more innovative this year.
“It is our way of spreading the festive cheer,” she said.
She added there would be a wishing star event, whereby patrons could donate to charity while making a wish on a piece of paper, which would be hung on the Christmas tree in the hotel lounge.
Plaza Pelangi senior promotions assistant Gadafy Abdul Rashid said the mall’s decorations followed a medieval concept.
“We want the customers to feel the Christmas spirit and be transported back to medieval times.
“We aim to make them feel as if they are in a castle fairytale atmosphere,” he said.
He added among the events planned was a costume contest, whereby children could dress up as Santa Claus, Santa Rina and elves.
Danga City Mall marketing executive Mac Chong said the mall has installed a snow machine and would present Christmas carollers and a Santa Claus walkabout.
“The decorations at the mall as well as the events are meant to usher the festive spirit,” she said.
At Johor Baru City Square shoppers are in for a fairytale-like ambience as the theme was ‘Enchanted Christmas’.
The mall’s marketing and promotions manager Irene Teo said the mall aimed to create a warm Christmas atmosphere, which was why colours like purple, pink and white were used.
Hotels on the other hand, are offering scrumptious festive menus for guests to enjoy with their loved ones.
