Langkawi: MAH Charity Bash - The Final Wrap-Up

Shirley, 25 November 2009 / Source: Enzo/Tripadvisor

MAH Charity Bash was a success

Dear Friends,
As I have been asked by a number of people about this event, I hope you don't mind if I just post one more note to give those who are interested a short wrap-up. Rather than rewritng it all, I have just copied/pasted a press release below that has been put together by my good friend Jason from Casa Del Mar:
Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) – Kedah & Perlis Chapter raises a fantastic RM89,000 for underprivileged families of Langkawi.
On Saturday 14th November 2009, the MAH Kedah and Perlis Chapter held the MAH Charity Bash to raise money for underprivileged families and local communities in Langkawi. The event was held at Bella Vista Hotel in Kuah and attracted 330 guests who enjoyed this event.
The money was raised from all entry tickets and silent auctions. The Silent Auctions list included romantic weekends at premium hotels throughout Asia, artwork, a diamond ring, all inclusive day cruises and other local activities that were donated from local businesses and neighboring resorts. A raffle was also held for weekend for two at the Four Season Langkawi’s Beach Villa worth RM13,000 which was won by a happy Langkawi resident.

The event was world class and the first for Langkawi. The jewel of the evening was certainly the entertainment headlined by internationally renowned jazz Singer Mandy Gaines and local entertainers The Soliano’s and Nine Lives.
Hannah Coombes, an expatriate resident of Langkawi stated “This is certainly the best night of entertainment and good will that Langkawi has seen in my 6 years of living here”.
The hotels vied for supremacy in relation to who had the best food and service. Whilst every hotel specialized in a different theme, I believe the guests were the winner on the night sampling very high quality food from the best hotels in Langkawi. The main beverage suppliers of Langkawi were highly supportive of the event to ensure each guest was a little more generous on the silent auctions and certainly assisted the dance floor.

Food and beverage aside, it was certainly the who who’s of nightly events in Langkawi and this evening could not have happened without a united effort from the MAH General Managers, Chefs & F&B Managers of Langkawi. Thanks must also be given to the many hotel staff that set up, worked on the night and packed down the event. These staff came from various hotels though worked this event in a united effort, also the first for Langkawi.

The MAH Kedah and Perlis chapter are yet to confirm that if this is to become an annual event for the greater good of Langkawi’s underprivileged families. We can only wait in hope and anticipation for a positive answer.

Thanks and kind regards,

Enzo

Malaysia's First Submarine is Now in the Strait of Malacca

Shirley, 3 September 2009 / Source: Bernama

Guess what is coming our way?
"KD Tunku Abdul Rahman" (KD TAR), Malaysia's first Scorpene submarine is now in the Malacca Strait and sailing towards Port Klang for the official welcoming ceremony today.

Scorpene is a conventional combat submarine, equipped with six torpedo tubes where guided missiles can be launched simultaneously. It can reach a speed up to 20 knots, has anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes. It can submerge to a depth of up to 200m.
In 2002, two Scorpene-class submarines were purchased by Malaysia at the cost of RM3.4 billion. They were jointly designed and built by the French firm DCNS and Spain's Navantia. Both submarines are named after the country's first and second prime ministers.
The KD TAR is captained by Commander Zulhelmy Ithnain and along with him are 35 crew. The submarine will be displayed at the Langkawi International Maritime And Aerospace Exhibition 2009 (LIMA '09) on 1-5 December.

"KD Tun Razak", the country's second submarine will be commissioned in October 2009 and is expected to head home in January 2010 and to reach Malaysia two months later.

Four Season Island Resort - Langkawi Island

An archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, Langkawi is a tropical paradise of lush foliage and dramatic cliffs. Set on Tanjung Rhu, one of the island's best beaches, Four Seasons Langkawi combines indigenous architecture with gracious service in a resort experience unmatched in Malaysia.

See Four Season Video

All 91 guest pavilions and villas offer the soothing sounds of the Andaman Sea and sensational views of sunsets beyond the beach. The generously sized guest accommodations are a fusion of traditional Malaysian design elements and contemporary resort features, with timber floors, soaring ceilings and large open verandas.

Inspired by the traditions of indigenous artisans, the decor reflects the vibrancy of the natural environment. Some villas and all lower-level pavilions include secluded outdoor bathing and showers that evoke the feeling of a gentle tropical rainfall.

Four Seasons Langkawi restaurant, Serai, which means “lemongrass” in Malay, celebrates the sun-drenched flavours of southern Italy and the Mediterranean. The creative menu features light, classic Italian specialties, using the freshest ingredients delicately balanced with aromatic herbs and spices.
The design of the restaurant, accentuated with stone and timber, perfectly complements the beautiful backdrop of lush greenery and emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. An open-air buffet and breakfast area seats up to 48 guests, while a separate dinner area on a higher floor features a 24-seat indoor dining room and an adjacent patio which seats 60.
Four Seasons Langkawi redefines the spa experience, providing total escapism that paradoxically encourages healing to arise from deep within the self. Four Seasons Langkawi nurturing and personal care ensure a renewing experience that honours ancient Eastern traditions, while celebrating modern Western sophistication.

Urgent Blood Donation Drive On August 15 - Langkawi Fair Complex

Volunteers from ANSARA ,the alumni of prestigious science college Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) , are running their annual nation-wide , pre-Ramadan blood donation drive on Saturday August 15th at Langkawi Fair .

They need as many people as possible to donate as there is a severe blood shortage during Ramadan ( due to Muslims being unable to donate blood while fasting ) . The problem og blood shortage during Ramadan in Malaysia is compounded by the fact that accident rates shoot up during the "balik kampung" season before Hari Raya .Donated blood as shelflife of 42 days , so it is crucial that as much blood as possible is collected before Ramadan begins .

Golf at Langkawi Island

Datai Bay Golf Course

Nestled between the northern foothills of Gunung Machincang and Datai Bay, the 6,000m long course is made up of fairways of Bermuda grass and greens of tifdwarf grass. The course undulates in all directions and a lost ball is probably….lost. You will see monkeys in the trees and hornbills in the air so it’s a bit of an eco experience as well. It is a 30-minute taxi ride from Pantai Cenang to the course. Uniquely, this course has a 19th hole that is not a bar! To finish you will need to clear 160m stretch over the sea, a rocky shore and a bunker. The club house is well serviced with a pro shop, restaurant and full buggy facility.

Datai Bay Golf Club sales@dataigolf.com

Gunung Raya Golf Course

As the name suggests, the club lies in the foothills of Mount Raya. It is the most popular course on the island, being less expensive than the Datai and easier to play. The 6,377m course is turf with Zoysia Matrella grass ending with superb greens of Tifdwarf Bermuda. You will see an abundance of wildlife on your way around this stunning setting of mountains and mangroves. The first nine holes are deceptively forgiving lulling you into a false sense of security before you reach the 13th, 14th and 15th where the trees, lakes and bunkers are ball magnets. Facilities include an open driving range and pro shop, club house, café and changing rooms. Buggies are essential and these are plentiful.

Gunung Raya Golf Club reservation@goldgr.com.my

99 Degrees East Golf Course

Langkawi may soon host international golf events with the development of two 18 whole world class golf courses. The plan is a part of a RM2.8 Billion township, resorts and golf club located in Ulu Melaka near Kuah.The first nine holes should be playable by June 2009 and the following 9 holes by January 2010.
