Have more night-time cultural shows to attract tourists: Mukhriz
LANGKAWI: Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir (pix) has urged tourism industry players to come up with creative ideas in offering packages to tourists, including having large-scale cultural performances at night. He said the intense competition in the sector among regional countries requires the industry to come up with ways to offer new experiences for visitors coming to the duty-free resort island. “Other countries are offering a variety of attractive packages for tourists, but in Langkawi, they (tourists) feel not much has changed in a while. Among other things, tourists feel that there are not too many night-time activities as our competitors in Phuket, Thailand; Bali, Indonesia; and Danang, Vietnam. “So, I would suggest that there be a truly exciting cultural show that can draw 200 to 300 people every time. If it attracts more people, there will be economic growth such as opportunities to sell souvenirs and food, and this is among the ideas and … [Read more...] about Have more night-time cultural shows to attract tourists: Mukhriz
ALAMIN: Ilang kondisyon, sakit na dulot ng mga bulate sa tiyan
Posibleng magdulot ng mga malubhang kondisyon at sakit ang pagkakaroon ng mga bulate sa tiyan, ayon sa isang eksperto. Ayon sa pediatric infectious disease specialist na si Dr. Nancy Bermal, ang mga tao, lalo ang mga bata, na may bulate sa tiyan ay maaaring magkaroon ng malnutrisyon. "'Pag may bulate, lalo na maraming bulate, so ano nangyayari? This can lead to malnutrition. 'Di ba nakakita na kayo ng mga batang ang payat pero ang laki ng tiyan? So mga malnourished, puwedeng may mga bulate iyon," ani Bermal sa programang "Good Vibes" ng DZMM. Puwede rin daw magdulot ang mga bulate sa tiyan ng anemia o ang kakulangan sa dugo na nagdudulot ng panghihina. Napipigilan din ng mga bulate ang pagtangkad ng mga bata dahil sila ang kumukuha ng mga nutrisyon sa katawan ng bata, ani Bermal. Kapag sobra-sobra umano ang bulate sa tiyan, maaari itong mauwi sa intestinal obstruction o iyong pagbabara sa bituka. "Mayroon palang bola ng bulate na nakabara sa tiyan. Kailangang operahan iyon," anang … [Read more...] about ALAMIN: Ilang kondisyon, sakit na dulot ng mga bulate sa tiyan
Don’t be too dependent on offerings: Dr Mahathir
LANGKAWI: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has reminded the people not to be too dependent on contributions from others but instead to strive to provide for themselves. “We know that in the fasting month we need to give donations to those who are not capable, like the sick. “We need to give donations, but for those who are healthy it is better if they make their own efforts to find money and the like,” the prime minister said at a breaking-of-fast and welfare event at Masjid Nurus Salam, Kampung Ewa here tonight.
