Raja Muda Selangor Regatta 2010 - Penang

The Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta is a challenging offshore sailing race organised every year by the Royal Selangor Yacht Club in association with the RORC.

The event consists of three overnight passage races, some 240 miles in total, plus two days of harbour racing in Penang and Langkawi. With regatta dinners almost every night, a trishaw race and lots of opportunities to socialise, onshore activities can be just as demanding as the sailing.

It attracts a large variety of yachts, with over 60 participating in last year's 20th edition, from IRC1 racers to slow classic cruisers dating back nearly 100 years, all of whom had to battle through good winds and rough seas during the 9 day mix of races past tropical islands

Sails will return to Penang waters in force on 23rd November, when the Raja Muda fleet completes its race from Pangkor and berths at the Tanjung City Marina.

Over 50 yachts and 400 sailors will converge on George Town after some light hearted trishaw races at the marina, then head out to Pulau Tikus on Wednesday 24th November for a further series of races.
That evening they will celebrate at the historic Khoo Kongsi Clan House, with a cultural show (courtesy of Penang Global Tourism) and dinner.

Penang Loi Krathong@Wat Chaiya Mangalaram

Loi Krathong (or Loy Krathong, Thai: ลอยกระทง) is a festival celebrated annually throughout Thailand, certain parts of Laos and Malaysia. Penang is celebrated on the full moon of the 12th Lunar month in which devotees pray to the Water Goddess as well as repent for what they have done.

Loi Krathong is held on the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the western calendar this usually falls in November. "Loi" means "to float" and a "Krathong" is a raft, about a hand span in diameter, traditionally made from a section of banana tree trunk. A raft has been developed to be made of bread or sometimes made of styrofoam.

The reason for using bread is to protect the environment,since having many rafts in the river can create a huge water pollution problem. Bread will eventually become food for fish and other animals in the river. Even though banana leaves are biodegradable, it takes longer to be degraded than a bread. Therefore, bread is the most environmental friendly choice to make a raft whereas foam is not recommended at all. A raft is decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, flowers, candles, incense sticks etc..

Penang Meatless Day

Date : 21st Nov 2010
Venue : Jalan Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade)
Organizer : Malaysian Meatless Day Campaign Committee
Time : 10am - 2pm


World Meatless Day is a very unique exercise, with the purpose to help promote awareness among people of the world about compassion for all life through the non-violent practice of vegetarianism.  
The world is changing and vegetarianism is becoming an accepted way of life. Vegetarianism is a magic pill that could not only add years to your life, but could also protect you from heart disease, cancer and other degenerative diseases so common in our modern society and keep you slim in the bargain.
 
Vegetarians tend to eat far greater quantities of fruits and vegetables, high in anti-oxidants, the main agents in repairing the wear and tear on our bodies incurred in daily living and strengthening our immune systems. Early repair of damaged DNA cells is important in preventing cancer and diseases such as arthritis and arteriosclerosis and even cataracts. A well-balanced vegetarian diet naturally contains all proteins and amino acids necessary for good health.
 
Animal protein contains high amounts of uric acid, which put great strain on our kidneys and subsequently our livers. Also meat in modern times contains large quantities of hormones, pesticides and antibiotics that wreak even more havoc on our systems. In fact, antibiotic use in animal farming has been implicated in recent bacterial resistance to these drugs, creating new breeds of super-bacteria thus endangering all our lives.
 
Most people become vegetarians for reasons of health or animal welfare. However there is another equally important reason to curtail meat eating, and that is the health of our planet. Vegetarianism, or even just cutting back on the amount of meat and fish one consumes, is a way to help the earth fight back - a way to protect ourselves, the animals and the environment and replenish the dwindling food resources on our planet.
