Labels: , ,




Teluk Bidara Beach is about 2 hours, passing through the oil town of Kerteh, Paka and Dungun. This is probably the best beach in the East Coast's mainland. You would greet with a turquoise-blue ocean. The water at this beach is crystal-clear. There is a lanai-style gazebo where one could climb up for better view of the lovely ocean.
Far ahead you could see the islands of Tenggol and Nyireh, famous for prolific diving sites. The water is so clean and calms enough for a swimming. However, the beaches are beautiful, a dream really and extremely quiet, very peaceful.
There is a cave below the end of the hill near the shore where visitors can go in and get to the other side. You can climb the rocks and get a better view of the coast line.
HOW TO GET HERE
By car:Drive along Highway 3 towards Kuala Terengganu. After you passed Dungun and the bridge over Sungai Dungun a sign will point for you to turn right. Go right in and you will be greeted by a series of signs. Follow them and you will be reached the beach.

(Terengganu) Rantau Abang Beaches

Labels: , ,




At 22km north of Kuala Dungun and 80km south of Kuala Terengganu, it is probably the most talked about tourist spot in Terengganu. There was a time when a great number of giant leatherback turtles came to Rantau Abang to lay their eggs between May and August. (Peak egg laying months are June and July).
Rantau Abang beaches are well-known for its turtles. In fact, the state of Terengganu's penchant to associate itself with turtles started here in Rantau Abang. Nonetheless, this beautiful beach makes up for it. The water is crystal clear and enticing enough for a swim. You could also climb the giant boulder rock, admiring its geological formation of different sedimentary layers throughout millions of years. Also it provides an amazing bird's eye view of the beach.

For more information on the leatherbacks, there is a Turtle Information Centre managed by the Department of Fisheries at Rantau Abang. The rangers have been patrolling the beaches to ensure safety for the turtles when they come onto shore to lay their eggs. The centre is open every day except Friday and public holidays.
HOW TO GET HERE
By Car:From Kuantan, drive north for about 2 hours, passing through the oil town of Kerteh, Paka and Dungun. From Dungun town, head further north for another 5 minutes. You should be passing over the Dungun river bridge. After the bridge, passing by the exit to Teluk Bidara recreational beach, you will see a curve on the road and giant rock boulders which marks the beginning of Rantau Abang beaches on your right.
By Bus: Buy a bus ticket at Hentian Putra Bus Station, Kuala Lumpur to Dungun, Terengganu.
By Air:There are flights Kuala Terengganu by Malaysia Airlines. From the airport, grab a taxi to Rantau Abang.

Paka Beach which is about 16km north of Kertih is a secluded wide stretch of golden sands sloping gently into the sea, with small clusters of tall-swaying palms

The glorious and awe-inspiring daily sunrise can be observed from here or, better still, from the Sungai Paka Bridge near the river mouth. The unfolding of nature's grandeur over fishing villages and coconut groves is best captured as dawn begins to break, with the sky emblazoned in a multitude of fiery red, orange and yellow, lasting no more than ten minutes.

If without the beach, Paka is a typical quite and dead fishing village with wooden kampong houses, jetty and fishing boats. Passing by the petroleum processing plants in the night time is a amazing experience. The huge refinery plant brightly lighted appears in a suddenly in a bare land, like a star city appear in the middle of the sky.

HOW TO GET HERE
By Car: To reach Paka from Kuala Lumpur, take the New East Coast Highway heading towards Kuantan, Pahang. Then head north towards Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.

As you drive along the road, you will see a large gateway portal that says you've entered the state of Terengganu. Drive until you reach Kemaman town.

In Kemaman, the highway will suddenly turn to the right. Follow the sign heading towards Kuala Terengganu. Around 15km or so north of Kerteh, you'll reach Paka.
By Bus:Go to the Hentian Putra Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur. Buy a bus ticket to Paka, Terengganu. We recommend that you buy tickets from the bigger and well-known bus companies such as Transnasional, Mara-Liner or Mutiara Express. The bus ride will be between 4 1/2 hours to 6 hours, depending on weather and traffic conditions. Refrain from taking cheaper bus tickets from bus companies that I did not recommend or you'll end up with an 8-hour trip on a not-so-comfortable bus that breaks down half-way across Pahang.Please remind the bus driver that you're getting off at Paka. If you are still confused, just ask the local when you reach Paka as it's the only seaside resort there. Take the small road that leads to Paka Residence Resort. Behind the Resort is Paka Beach.

Try not to sleep on the bus, after you've reached the Terengganu borders, or you'll drive pass by Paka and end up in Dungun. If you do miss Paka, take the bus all the way to Dungun. Then you can rent a taxi or another bus back to Paka. Do not forget to get your bags or luggage from the bus luggage compartment when you get off.

By Air: You'll be boarding a flight from KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) to Kuantan, Pahang. When you reach Kuantan Airport, you can take a taxi to Paka (it'll cost you around US$20 or RM80). The journey will take around 2-3 hours. Or take a bus from Kuantan to Paka (see the bus trip explanation from above).




(Terengganu) Pantai Merang

Labels: , ,











Merang is the gateway to the world famous archipelago of Redang islands. The beach, although not the most famous in the east coast, its long sandy beach and stretches of tall coconut trees and sparkling crystal clear sea water is somehow making Pantai Merang a good stop to enjoy the sea breeze before proceeding to next destination. There are some cheap chalets run by the local offering basic accommodation if you later decided to spend a night or so in this tranquil beach.

In general, the long coastline of Pantai Merang is located about 30 kilometres to the north of Kuala Terengganu.

The name of "Merang" is rather unfortunate as it is often mistaken for another popular beach area that goes by the name of "Marang" to the south of Kuala Terengganu. In recent days, the many beaches along the stretch of coastal Setiu district have gained better visibility to the public with the ever-growing flock of tourists to the idyllic islands off the coast of Pantai Merang, namely Pulau Redang and Pulau Lang Tengah. In fact, regular island goers have to make the compulsory stop at Pantai Merang where the main passenger boat jetty is located.

As Pantai Merang gets out of the ghastly shadow of Pantai Marang, the proliferation of medium- and high-class resorts start to stamp its mark on this long stretch of beautiful beach. Hospitality establishments such as The Aryani and Sutra Beach Resort have been adorning its white sandy beaches for many years, and as of recently, Merang Suria Resort had joined the fray to capture a slice of stopover tourists heading to the popular islands off the coast of Terengganu. It is not uncommon for island-bound visitors originating from different parts of Malaysia and Singapore to stay overnight at the many beach resorts of Pantai Merang before appropriately heading to the islands from Merang Jetty.

Near to the confluence of Sungai Merang and the South China Sea, a massive breakwater has been erected to regulate the depth of the river estuary. The construction has resulted in a man-made lagoon fronting the camping ground on the beach. In the so-called public park area, the beach is decidedly beautiful with swaying coconut trees and shady casuarina trees that produce whistling sounds when the wind is blowing strongly.

A good spot for a visit is the Merang Observatory Station (or Balai Cerap for Universiti Darul Iman). The place looks like a planetarium and is actually used for sky-gazing to determine the beginning of the many special months of Islamic calendar. As the observatory is perched on top of a hill overlooking the vast expanse of Pantai Merang, the view can be considered spectacular.

HOW TO GET HERE

By Car: Either park your car at a designated safe park (a daily parking rate of RM4 - RM7 fee will be levied) and then hitch a ride on the connecting shuttle to Merang village.

By Bus/taxi: From town, grab a local bus to Merang from the bus terminal although it may be infrequent and often waits till there are enough passengers before leaving.




(Terengganu) Pantai Penarik !

Labels: , ,

Pantai Penarik is located within a recreational area frequently attended by the locals. There seemed to be a camping ground and probably some motel rooms here too. The water is fantastic and the view of traditional fishing boats docked at the beach by the local villagers is something you could treasure.

The beach tends to get very breezy because of the open sea. From here, the visitors can catch a glimpse of the famous islands off the coast of Terengganu - on the far left are the Perhentians, sitting in the middle is the small island of Pulau Lang Tengah, and far right is the world-famous Pulau Redang. There are a few food stalls here, plenty of picnic benches and ample parking spots.

Driving along Penarik is a pleasant experience. Along the way, there are coconut trees shading the road and Malay village houses spotted here and there between the trees. The beach, Pantai Penarik is somewhere behind the coconut trees, 90km to the north of Kuala Terengganu. Straight and sandy coast line is the major attraction for holiday seekers who intend to tan their skin and have a couple hours of quite and relaxing time.

HOW TO GET HERE

By Car: From Kuala Terengganu, take the coastal road to Merang and from there just travel north to Penarik.From Kota Baharu, head towards Kampung Raja in the Besut district and signs will indicate the coastal road down to Terengganu. Follow the signs and when you hit the Setiu district, you'll know that Penarik won't be far away.

By Bus: From town, grab a local bus to Penarik from the local bus terminal although it may be infrequent and often waits till there are enough passengers before leaving.

The magnificent coastline of Terengganu offers much in the form of secluded palm-fringed coves and popular picnic spots for a family outing by the beach. Easily accessible via the picturesque coastal highway, a walk on the beach is recommended. Set against the idyllic islands as picture perfect backgrounds with traditional fishing villages and their coastal fishing boats dotted on the stretches of golden sands.

(Wabak) Influenza A (H1N1)

Labels: , ,

ABSTRAK
Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia atau World Health Organization (WHO) pada 24 April 2009 telah mengisytiharkan krisis kecemasan kesihatan antarabangsa ekoran merebaknya wabak Virus Influenza A (H1N1) (Selesema Babi atau Swine Flu) bagi memberi amaran wabak yang dianggap makin mencemaskan dan berpotensi untuk menjadi pusat ‘pandemik’ atau wabak yang akan merebak. Selesema babi yang disebarkan oleh manusia ini telah mencetuskan keadaan panik di seluruh dunia terutamanya di Mexico dan Amerika Syarikat (AS). Sehingga 6 Mei 2009, wabak ini telah mengorbankan 29 orang di Mexico, 2 orang di United State (US), 1786 orang telah disahkan dijangkiti dan lebih 4169 orang disyaki dijangkiti di seluruh dunia. Jumlah kematian dan mereka yang dijangkiti meningkat dari semasa ke semasa dan amat dikhuatiri merebak ke Negara ini.

PENGENALAN
Demam Virus Influenza A (H1N1) adalah sejenis penyakit sistem pernafasan (respiratory) yang biasanya ditemui dalam kawanan babi. Virus Influenza A (H1N1) atau demam babi ini biasanya berlegar dalam spesies babi sahaja dan tidak menjangkiti manusia. Namun jangkitan terhadap manusia telah berlaku dan penyebaran virus ini dalam kalangan manusia telah mula dikesan sejak tahun 1988.

Apakah Virus Influenza A (H1N1)?
Virus Influenza A (H1N1) adalah sejenis penyakit respiratory yang ditemui dalam kawanan babi disebabkan oleh virus influenza jenis A (H1N1). Selesema babi ini dikesan saban tahun dan biasanya terjadinya kepada mereka yang mempunyai kaitan dengan babi. Manusia biasanya tidak dijangkiti oleh virus ini tetapi jangkitan terhadap manusia telah dikesan. Virus selesema babi telah dilaporkan merebak dari manusia ke manusia lain. Tetapi pada masa lepas, pemindahan virus ini adalah terhad dan menjangkiti sehingga tiga orang sahaja.

Adakah Terdapat Jangkitan Demam Virus Influenza A (H1N1) di US?
Pada akhir Mac dan awal April 2009, beberapa kes jangkitan virus ini (H1N1) terhadap manusia telah dilaporkan di Southern California berdekatan San Antonio, Texas. Beberapa negeri lain di US juga telah melaporkan jangkitan yang sama pada manusia dan juga telah dilaporkan di peringkat antarabangsa. (Perkembangan terkini mengesahkan bilangan jangkitan virus di Amerika Syarikat boleh di dapati di http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm. Pusat pencegahan dan kawalan penyakit (CDC - Centers for diseases control and prevention dan Jabatan serta agensi kesihatan sedang bekerjasama dalam menyiasat situasi ini).

Adakah Virus Ini Berjangkit?
CDC telah mengesahkan bahawa virus ini (H1N1) adalah berjangkit dan merebak dari seorang ke seorang manusia lain. Walau bagaimanapun masih belum diketahui cara dan bagaimana mudahnya jangkitan ini terjadi.

Apakah Tanda-tanda dan Simptom Virus Influenza A (H1N1) Terhadap Manusia?
Simptom Virus Influenza A (H1N1) ini terhadap manusia adalah sama dengan simptom selesema biasa seperti demam, batuk, sakit tekak, sakit badan, pening kepala, sejuk dan kelesuan. Ada juga sesetengah kes cirit-birit dan muntah yang berkait dengan selesema burung yang dilaporkan.
Pada masa yang lepas, beberapa penyakit (kegagalan paru-paru dan sistem pernafasan) dan kematian telah dilaporkan dengan jangkitan selesema babi dalam manusia. Seperti virus selesema bermusim, selesema babi boleh menyebabkan keadaan kesihatan kronik.

Bagaimanakah Selesema Burung Merebak?
Virus jenis A (H1N1) selesema burung ini dijangka akan merebak seperti mana virus selesema bermusim lain. Virus selesema ini biasanya disebarkan dari seorang ke seorang yang lain melalui batuk dan bersin mereka yang terkena jangkitan. Kadang-kadang seseorang itu boleh dijangkiti melalui barang yang disentuh dengan tangan dan kemudiannya menyentuh mulut dan hidung mereka.

Bagaimanakah Seseorang Yang Dijangkiti Selesema Menjangkiti Seorang Lain?
Seseorang yang dijangkiti mungkin boleh menjangkiti seorang lain bermula sehari sebelum simptom itu merebak hingga ke hari ke-7 selepas dijangkiti (sakit). Ini bermakna kita mungkin boleh menyebarkan virus ini sebelum mengetahui yang kita telah dijangkiti.
Apa Yang Perlu Dilakukan Untuk Mengelak Daripada Dijangkiti Selesema?
Perkara yang terpenting sekali adalah membasuh tangan. Cuba untuk berada pada tahap yang paling sihat. Dapatkan tidur yang cukup. Sentiasa aktif, menangani tekanan, minum banyak air dan makan makanan berkhasiat. Cuba mengelak dari menyentuh tempat yang dicemari dengan virus. Mengelak hubungan dengan mereka yang sakit.
Adakah Terdapat Ubat Untuk Virus Influenza A (H1N1) Ini?
CDC menyarankan pengambilan ubat seperti oseltamivir atau zanamivir untuk merawat dan/atau mencegah jangkitan virus selesema babi ini. Ubat antiviral adalah ubat-ubatan berpreskripsi (pil, cecair ataupun ubat sedut) yang melawan virus dari terus membiak di dalam badan anda.
Jika anda jatuh sakit, ubat antiviral akan dapat melegakan dan membuat anda sihat dengan lebih cepat. Ia juga dapat mencegah dari komplikasi selesema yang lebih serius. . Untuk tujuan rawatan, ubat antiviral adalah lebih berkesan untuk diambil sebaik sahaja jatuh sakit (dalam dua hari selepas simptom).

Berapa Lama yang Diambil oleh Seseorang yang Dijangkiti dengan Selesema Burung Untuk Menyebarkan Kepada Orang Lain?
Mereka yang dijangkiti dengan virus ini boleh dikira sebagai pembawa virus selagi mereka di dalam simptom sehingga tujuh hari dari bermula sakit. Kanak-kanak, terutama anak-anak kecil berpotensi untuk dijangkiti untuk jangka masa yang lebih lama.

Apakah Kawasan-kawasan Yang Berkemungkinan Sebagai Tempat Yang Dicemari?
Kuman boleh merebak apabila seseorang menyentuh sesuatu yang dicemari dengan kuman dan menyentuh pula mata, mulut dan hidung mereka. Titisan rembesan dari batuk dan bersin dari mereka yang dijangkiti boleh bergerak melalui udara. Kuman boleh merebak apabila seseorang itu menyentuh titisan rembesan batuk dan bersin dari seorang di atas permukaan seperti meja dan permukaan lain dan menyentuh mata, mulut dan hidung sebelum membasuh tangan mereka.
Berapa Lama Virus Tersebut Boleh Hidup Di Luar Badan?
Seperti yang diketahui sesetengah virus dan dapat hidup sehingga lebih dua jam di permukaan seperti meja kafeteria, tombol pintu dan meja. Membasuh tangan dengan kerap akan mengurangkan kesan pencemaran yang didapati dari permukaan-permukaan ini.

Apa Yang Boleh Dilakukan Untuk Mengelak Daripada Dihinggapi Penyakit?
Buat masa ini belum lagi ada sebarang vaksin untuk melindungi dari selesema babi ini. Terdapat beberapa perkara yang boleh dilakukan untuk membantu menghalang penyebaran kuman yang menyebabkan penyakit pernafasan seperti demam selesema. Cubalah langkah-langkah ini untuk melindungi kesihatan anda:
• Tutup/lindung mulut dan hidung anda dengan tisu sewaktu bersin atau batuk. Buangkan tisu tersebut ke dalam tong sampah selepas menggunakannya.
• Basuhlah tangan dengan sabun dan air dengan kerap terutamanya selepas batuk atau selesema. Pembersih tangan berasaskan alcohol juga berkesan.
• Mengelak dari menyentuh mata, hidung dan mulut. Kuman boleh merebak dengan cara ini.
• Jika anda sakit akibat demam selesema, disyorkan supaya anda tidak bekerja atau ke sekolah juga mengehadkan pergaulan dengan orang lain supaya mereka tidak dijangkiti.
Apakah Cara Terbaik Untuk Mengelak Dari Menyebarkan Virus Melalui Batuk Dan Bersin?
• Jika anda sakit, hadkan pergaulan anda sebaik yang mungkin. • Jangan pergi ke sekolah;• Tutup mulut anda dengan tisu semasa batuk dan bersin. Ia boleh membantu mengelak orang-orang di sekeliling kamu dari jatuh sakit;• Buangkan tisu yang telah digunakan ke dalam tong sampah;• Tutup mulut anda semasa bersin dan batuk jika tiada tisu;• Basuhlah tangan kamu setiap kali batuk dan bersin.

Apakah Teknik Terbaik Untuk Mencuci Tangan Dan Mengelak Dari Jangkitan Selesema?
Membasuh tangan dengan kerap akan membantu melindungi anda daripada kuman. Basuhlah dengan sabun dan air ataupun pembersih tangan berasaskan alcohol. Basuhlah tangan antara 15 ke 20 saat dengan air suam dan sabun. Jika tiada air dan sabun, tisu pakai buang berasaskan alcohol atau pembersih gel boleh digunakan. Ianya boleh didapati di kedai-kedai ubat dan pasar raya. Jika menggunakan gel, sapulah tangan anda sehingga gel itu kering. Alkohol di dalam gel tadi akan membunuh kuman dan ianya tidak memerlukan air untuk berkesan.

Apa Yang Perlu Saya Lakukan Jika Jatuh Sakit?
Jika anda tinggal di kawasan yang dikenal pasti wabak Virus Influenza A (H1N1) itu merebak dan mempunyai simptom-simptom demam selesema termasuk demam panas, sakit badan, selesema, sakit tekak, muntah mual dan cirit-birit, anda perlu berjumpa dengan doktor, terutamanya jika anda risau tentang simptom-simptom tadi. Doktor akan mengesahkan sama ada sebarang ujian atau rawatan adalah perlu.
Jika anda sakit anda perlu:-
• Tinggal di rumah dan mengelak hubungan dengan orang lain sebaik mungkin untuk mengelak jangkitan;• Mendapatkan rawatan kecemasan jika mengalami tanda-tanda awal penyakit;
Untuk kanak-kanak tanda-tanda dan perlu dibawa untuk dirawat adalah seperti berikut:-
• Kesukaran bernafas dan pernafasan yang terlalu cepat;• Warna kulit bertukar kebiru-biruan;• Tidak minum air yang secukupnya;• Tidak bangun dan berinteraksi;• Tidak suka dipegang dan asyik merengek;• Simptom seperti selesema dan pulih tetapi kemudiannya berulang bersama demam dan batuk yang lebih teruk;• Demam dan beruam.
Bagaimana Seriusnya Jangkitan Virus Influenza A (H1N1) ini?
Seperti demam selesema yang lain, kesan selesema babi (Virus Influenza A) (H1N1) pada manusia adalah berbeza dari tahap sederhana ke tahap serius. Antara 2005 hingga Januari 2009, 12 kes jangkitan pada manusia tanpa kematian dikenal pasti di Amerika Syarikat. Walau bagaimanapun kesan dari selesema babi ini boleh menjadi serius. Pada September 1988, seorang wanita mengandung berumur 32 tahun dari Wisconsin dimasukkan ke hospital akibat jangkitan paru-paru akibat selesema babi dan meninggal dunia 8 hari kemudian. Pada tahun 1976, wabak selesema babi dikesan di Fort Dix, New Jersey mengakibatkan lebih 200 kes serius dan satu kematian.

Bolehkah Saya Dijangkiti Melalui Memakan Dan Menyediakan Masakan Berasaskan Babi?
• Tidak.
Selesema babi tidak boleh merebak melalui makanan. Ianya tidak boleh dijangkiti melalui makanan dan produk berasaskan babi. Memakan produk berasaskan babi yang dimasak dan disediakan dengan sempurna.
TINDAKAN SERTA-MERTA KEMENTERIAN KESIHATAN
• Kementerian Kesihatan menguat kuasa serta-merta empat langkah pencegahan:-
i. Bahagian Kawalan Penyakit, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia mengaktifkan Bilik Gerakan untuk membuat pemantauan situasi wabak Virus Influenza A (H1N1) dengan pihak WHO bagi memastikan tindakan-tindakan proaktif diambil untuk melindungi kesihatan awam penduduk Malaysia.
ii. Semua Pengamal Perubatan termasuk di sektor swasta yang merawat kes-kes yang mempunyai tanda-tanda atau gejala ‘influenza-like illness’ atau ‘severe pneumonia’ dan mempunyai sejarah melawat Mexico, California, Kansas, Ohio, Texas, New York atau Kanada selepas 17 April 2009 diminta untuk memaklumkan kepada Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah yang terdekat dengan serta merta melalui telefon untuk tindakan pencegahan dan kawalan.
iii. Saringan tanda-tanda jangkitan Virus Influenza A (H1N1) di semua pintu masuk negara untuk pelawat atau warga Malaysia yang ada melawat ke negara Mexico, California, Kansas, Ohio, Texas, New York atau Kanada selepas 17 April 2009.
iv. Membuat kenyataan akhbar dari masa ke semasa situasi wabak Virus Influenza A (H1N1) untuk maklumat orang awam di Malaysia dan langkah kawalan dan pencegahan yang diambil oleh Kerajaan.
