New intake not affected by New Era College controversy

China Press reported that the New Era College controversy did not affect the new intake this year.

College vice-principal Mok Soon Chong said 170 students had applied between January and this month.

“The number of new applicants this year is almost the same as last year. We believe that more students will apply for the courses in the next two weeks,” he said.

Last year, the college was in the limelight due to the row between Dong Zong (the United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia) president Dr Yap Sin Tian and the college’s former principal Dr Kua Kia Soong. Dr Yap is also senate chairman of the college.

Wedding bells for Andy and Malaysian girlfriend?


HONG Kong heartthrob Andy Lau is reportedly tying the knot with his Malaysian girlfriend Carol Chu on April 6, major Chinese newspapers said.

However, Lau neither confirmed nor denied the news, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Lau is said to have been together with Chu, a former Malaysian beauty queen, for over 20 years.

Asked whether he would be in Malaysia on April 6, Lau said:

“I do not know. I will not say yes or no because I also do not know. I will not know where I will be on that day. I have nothing to say at this moment.”

Lau also did not want to confirm whether he had come to Malaysia to discuss with Chu’s family members on preparations for their wedding day.

According to Lau’s official website, the superstar has concert dates in China on April 5 and April 10.

Fish importers protest against use of insulated boxes

The paper also reported that fish importers would not land their catch as a show of protest against the Fisheries Department’s requirement for them to use insulated fish containers effective last Sunday.

According to the daily, the department had ordered the importers to replace 10% of their old containers with the insulated boxes. Those who do not follow the rule would not be allowed to land their catch.

One importer in Lumut, Cham Wing Kee, said he had been informed that the Selayang seafood wholesale market would be closed for three days starting yesterday.

He said the importers did not want to use the insulated boxes because they were more expensive than boxes of the same quality available in the market.

“It will be a huge burden for the importers in the long run, so the cost would have to be passed on to the consumers,” he said.
