    Johari said since more dams would be built in Sarawak, more lakes and islands were expected to be created.

     

    Wow!! More "white elephant projects"! and do more ecological damage to Sarawak!!

     

     

    As such, he said the state must have early planning to turn the dams, lakes and islands into tourism products upon their completion.

     

     

    We want to be on par with other countries in terms of tourism and have our own natural attractions

     

    Man made dams, lakes and islands are considered as "natural attractions"!!

    why is that? what is the stand of the local authorities on this? why are the 'malaysian' owners not using 9M?

     

    According to Malaysian Aeronautical Information Circular

     

    AIC 02 / 2010 Private Flight Or General Aviation Operations In Malaysia (Malaysian And Foreign Registered Aircraft)

     

    5. SAFETY OVERSIGHT FUNCTION

     

    5.1 In order to maintain effective safety oversight to general aviation operations of foreign registered aircraft, the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), Malaysia requires that the aircraft is to be registered under Malaysian registry if their principle base is in Malaysia and has been operating in the country more than six (6) months.

     

    5.2 For foreign registered aircrafts currently operating in Malaysia and has exceeded the period of six (6) months, the operator or the owner, with immediate effect shall initiate the process to register the aircraft into the Malaysian registration. In the event that the operator or the owner fails to register the foreign registered aircraft, DCA shall be

    notified of the reason(s) for non registration. For extended stay in Malaysia, the following conditions have to be met:

     

    a) Ensuring that the minimum aircraft airworthiness standards are maintained.

    b. Ensuring and validating the airworthiness certificate for the aircraft (C of A).

    C'mon they can't be more serious!! There will definitely be conflict of interest if this happens.

     

    A MAS source also disclosed that the fate of company managing director Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin remains unclear as Fernandes will likely change the management to pull the airline from the brink after its first quarter losses.

     

    All MH needs to do is to hire someone as good as TF who can really run the show, instead of letting some jokers running it.

    Great shot there Waiping! :good:

     

    Going for spotting later??

     

    Runway 20 is in use most of the time since yesterday, might be due to Tropical Storm Muifa over the eastern Pacific Ocean.

     

    Maybe can go over turf club's bridge and try to get Jason's SHOT :rolleyes:

    I wonder if they fly CRK - BKI it would spell the end of Cebu Pacific here in BKI. :(

     

    Maybe, but

     

    Cebu Pacific flies MNL - BKI route

     

    AK flies BKI - CRK route

     

    To get to Manila from Clark is actually quite far, about 2 - 3 hrs drive depending on traffic. People usually go to Clark for its casinos and vibrant adult nightlife :D

    Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0007, Japan,
