Semenyih water plant closed due to contamination
The Semenyih water treatment plant has been closed down since 1.40am on Tuesday morning following river contamination from a nearby landfill.
In a statement, Syabas said raw water from Sungai Kembong in Selangor was contaminated due to "leachate" leaking from a breached dyke in the landfill.
"The plant was closed immediately upon detecting high content of ammonia in the water at 6.41mg per litre, which is above the health safety standard of 1.5mg per litre, put into place by the Health Ministry.
"A yellow alert emergency plan has been into place. We are now trying to redistribute water from other treatment plants to the affected areas," it said.
The closure of the plant, which treated some 600mil litres of water daily, is expected to affect supply to 1.2mil residents or 300,000 households in four areas - Petaling, Hulu Langat, Sepang and Kuala Langat.
Leachate = usually refers to the liquid that drains out the bottom of landfills, garbage dumps, or other waste disposal sites. Leachate forms as water percolates through solid waste.

Surgeons must get consent to take photos of intimate parts
Penang High Court ruled today that surgeons must obtain their female patients' consent before taking photos of their intimate parts.
Judicial Commissioner Chew Soo Ho awarded freelance writer Lee Ewe Poh, 50, RM25,000 in damages for invasion of privacy and RM10,000 in costs. Lee, a former journalist, had filed the suit against general and colo-rectal surgeon Dr Lim Teik Mau saying she felt violated after he took photographs of her private parts during a haemorrhoids surgery.

The decision above makes me wonder how about male's privacy? Anyhow it's good that we know now what the court have said about this area. Again, we should know our rights!

Old Kajang Stadium for New Kajang Square
Old Stadium making way for....
New Kajang SquareI wasn't aware that the iconic landmark of Kajang town - Kajang Stadium was scheduled to be demolished on 15th August 2010. I saw the news only a day before it was set to be torn down.
The 40-year-old Kajang Stadium will make way for the new Kajang Square project with cost estimated at RM5.5 Mil. The stadium, built in the late 1970s, will be turned into a public square where people could jog or enjoy a stroll. The project would include a multi-million rinngit sports complex with futsal and badminton courts, field for tai chi, yoga and aerobic activities, a children’s playground and kiosks selling various wares.
The first phase, a playground will be built at a cost of RM200,000 which is almost completed. The second phase will include the building of two futsal courts. Part of the walls will be torn down but the field will remain. There will be a bitumen track instead of synthetic rubber, which will incur more cost. The Kajang Square will also have kiosks and a stage. The whole project would take about three years to complete.
