Talents abound at football meet

Talents abound at football meet


UNITED Youth Football Club (UYFC) from Pandan Indah in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi Kenari Kids emerged champions of the Under-12 and Under-10 categories respectively in the second Kedah Kenari Kids football carnival.

UYFC defeated Kenari Kids B of Kedah 4-2 on penalties in the Under-12 final while Langkawi Kenari Kids beat Hicom-Honda Kenari Kids A 2-0 in the Under-10 final played at the Istana Anak Bukit ground in Alor Setar.

UYFC had overcome Kota Damansara of Selangor 2-0 in the Under-12 semi finals earlier while Kenari Kids B outplayed their A counterparts 2-1.

The Under-12 final ended in a stalemate at the end of regulation time as both teams were unable to score and the outcome was decided by a penalty shoot-out.

UYFC prevailed in the shoot-out by converting all their first four spot kicks while the Kenari Kids B only scored from two of the first four kicks.

UYFC’s goals were scored by Naim Abdul Razak, Mohd Azrul Adhar, Mohd Farid Khazali and Mohd Shafiq.

Ahmad Firdaus and Mohd Izzat Iqmar scored for the Kenari Kids while Nabil Ramli’s kick was saved by UYFC’s goalkeeper, Mohd Aizat Roslin. Arisul Hakimi sent his kick out past the upright to hand the title to UYFC.

In the Under-10 final, Langkawi Kenari Kids dominated the proceedings against Hicom-Honda A from Sungai Petani to win by 2-0.

In the 2009 carnival, Bintang Biru foot- ball club from Prai in Penang was the Under-12 champions while Hicom-Honda Kids from Sungai Petani took the Under-10 title.

A total of 16 teams (six in the Under-10 and 10 in the Under-12 category) from Singapore, Thailand, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Kedah competed in the two-day carnival on Dec 17 and 18.

Kedah princess, Datuk Seri Panglima Besar Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz Sultan Abdul Halim, gave away the medals and trophies to the winners.

The carnival was declared open by Kedah Youth, Sports, Arts, Heritage and Culture Committee chairman Dr Hamdan Mohd Khalib.

Dr Hamdan said the tournament was orga-nised to uncover young talents to be groomed into quality players to serve Kedah which was in line with the aspirations of the Kedah Football Association.

He said six Kenari Kids training centres —two each in Alor Setar and Sungai Petani, and one each in Jitra and Langkawi — that were set in Kedah a few years back had proven to be of benefit to the state.

“A good example is the success of the Kedah Under-15 team in 2010 who qualified to represent the Asia-Pacific region in the Manchester United Premier Cup World soccer finals in Manchester in 2010.

“The success of the team has fuelled the interest of several young players and the demand to enrol in our training centres has increased two fold.

“It is hoped that the Kenari Kids carnival will produce more exciting young players to serve the state in the future,” Dr Hamdan said.

The dollars and sense of going green

RUNNING an eco-friendly resort makes “perfect business sense”, an environmentalist and entrepreneur says.

By 2030, businesses that are not green will not be able to survive, The Frangipani Langkawi Resort and Spa owner Anthony Wong said.

Nature's way: Wong snacking on his organic vegetables at his Zero Waste Eco Farm.

“In the next 20 years, our natural resources will be gone and you will be out of business if you don’t practise sustainability,” he said.

“You can make money if you are eco-friendly because tourists these days are willing to pay more to help conserve Mother Nature,” he said.

Wong, who is also the managing director of Asian Overland Services (AOS), a tourism and hospitality group of companies specialising in eco-tourism activities, said it would cost more in the initial stages to run a green hotel but it would be cheaper in the long run.

“Your initial investment may be about 20% more and you’ll need more staff but at the end of the day, the profits justify the effort and you are doing your part to help save the environment,” he explained.

“Langkawi has about 90,000 inhabitants and 2.5 million visitors yearly – the main benefactors are the locals because 90% of the population depends on the tourism industry to survive,” he added.

The Frangipani Resort and Spa - Pantai Tengah Langkawi

Recycling and energy-saving are practised at Wong’s resort at Pantai Tengah.

He relies on the wetland system to treat sewage and waste water.

The water treatment system uses plants to turn stinky, dirty sewage into clean water,” he said.

“The first step is to identify the main pollutants in the water which we channel into a pond near the resort.

“Next step is to find the most suitable plants that can soak up the pollutants.

“I took three years to find the perfect combination of plants that could effectively treat the water,” he said.

Wong uses the water mimosa, thalia genicula, water hyacinth, water lily, water vetiver and water spinach at his pond.

Laboratory tests have shown that the treated water from the pond is of grade A quality.

“You can actually drink the water once it goes through the ultraviolet light and water filtering process although we only use the treated water for cleaning and watering the plants.

“At least 45% of the water used at the resort is recycled,” the Kuala Lumpur native said.

He is especially proud of his Zero Waste Eco Farm where ducks and chickens roam and organic vegetables grow.

“Those interested in learning more about how we do things here are welcome,” he said.

Other eco-friendly practices at the resort are worm composting, waste separation, solar heating and using natural sunlight and ventilation for the buildings.

Wong stresses the importance of grease traps.

“We re-use the cooking oil to make soaps and bio-diesel.

“There are old bathtubs everywhere and these are planted with organically grown vegetables and ulam,” he said.

“The frangipani flowers from our trees are dried and used to make tea and keropok (chips).”

Wong said future guests would be intrigued by a toilet made from used bottles next year.

RM1b for Teluk Datai Langkawi project

LANGKAWI: State investment arm Khazanah Nasional Bhd, through its investee company, Teluk Datai Resorts Sdn Bhd (TDR), and partners are investing RM1 billion in the Teluk Datai master development plan that will be completed by 2014.

The five-year plan, which will see the expansion and upgrading of TDR's hotel and golf course as well as the construction of new hotels, was launched yesterday by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Najib said: "Based on the development plan for Teluk Datai, more jobs will be created for residents.

"This will increase the value of their assets and their quality of life.

Present were former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Khazanah managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar.

Langkawi, with a population of about 99,000, was identified by Dr Mahathir as a tourist destination more than two decades ago.

Najib said the development of Teluk Datai, with its pristine surrounding and beaches, was ideal to boost Langkawi's position as a premier tourist destination.

Under the plan, The Datai Lang-kawi hotel will expand to include 13 one-bedroom pool villas and one two-bedroom pool villa, while The Golf Club, Datai Bay, will be re-developed into an international golf course to host tournaments.

Najib said the construction of the villas was expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012, while the golf course would be completed in the third quarter of the same year.

Also in the plan are a 300-room five-star resort, which will be jointly developed with Shangri-La Hotels, a six-star hotel and villas for sale.

Najib said the plan would boost leisure and tourist attractions at Teluk Datai, located northwest of Langkawi and facing the Andaman Sea, to strengthen the bay's position as an international tourist destination.

TDR plans to develop only a fifth of 598ha at Teluk Datai, while the rest, comprising 100,000-year-old rainforests, will be untouched.

TDR engaged Camco South East Asia Ltd (Camco SEA), in which Khazanah has a 5.3 per cent stake, to conduct a sustainability scoping study for the project.

Camco SEA, a green energy expert listed on the AIM London stock exchange, will also design a long-term strategy on rainforest conservation as well as explore opportunities for tie-ups with local partners to conserve land.

Khazanah, in July, acquired a 70 per cent stake in TDR, which owns The Datai Langkawi, The Golf Club and the 598ha at Teluk Datai.

The remaining 30 per cent is held by its founder, Tan Sri Razali Rahman, and Datuk Hassan Abas, through Archipelago Hotels (East) Sdn Bhd.

At the launch, TDR signed an agreement with Shangri-La Malaysia to set up a joint venture to develop the five-star resort. TDR will hold a 51 per cent stake in the company while Shangri-La Malaysia will hold the balance. Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd will manage the hotel.

Khazanah executive director (investment) Mohd Nadziruddin Mohd Basri said the development would create about 3,000 jobs.

He said the arrival of more tourists would create more jobs and opportunities for residents.

"We are positive about the project. The returns must be attractive for us to attract the private sector."

He said Khazanah was considering funding options for its investment, including equity partnership and bank borrowings.
