The Malaysian edition of the World

Championship F1 Grand Prix is

well known for its unpredictable

weather: scorching heat one

minute and tropical storm

the next. But it is this very

unpredictability that has made

it one of the most exciting races

of the season, with teams and

drivers getting to grips with

their new equipment and many

races being heavily influenced

by the winners and losers of the

scramble for position into the

tight double hairpin bend at the

first corner.

The upcoming race from 27 to 29

March offers yet another exciting

proposition, but off the race track

this time. SIC Chairman Tan Sri

Mokhzani Mahathir revealed that

the second round of the 2015 FIA

Formula 1 World Championship

will now be a wholesome family

affair.

With V6 engines producing a

quieter, deeper sound than

the screaming banshees of

the past, the race weekend is

definitely more acceptable and

comfortable for families with

young children as noise levels

have fallen below the threshold

of pain! F1 fans no longer need

to choose between quality family

time on a weekend and watching

the race.

“In conjunction with the

Malaysia Year of Festival 2015,

we were inspired to make the F1

Grand Prix programme one that

celebrates the position of the

race as an event that is firmly

embedded in the public mind.

“After 17 years, we firmly believe

that many Malaysians look

forward to the race, even if they

only watch it at home or enjoy

photo opportunities during our

annual F1 Grand Prix roadshow.

Indeed, we are focusing on the

family-theme to draw them out

of the living room into the high-

octane atmosphere of the circuit

itself,” said Tan Sri Mokhzani.

This year’s programme - themed

‘Experience F1 Like Never

Before’ transforms the circuit

and the grounds into a huge

entertainment space dubbed the

‘F1 Carnival’. It features family

and child-friendly activities to

encourage families to make

the race their weekend outing.

The carnival event happening

within SIC’s premises during race

weekend amplifies the family

fiesta atmosphere, with many

entertainment and off-track

activities – expanding the F1

experience beyond the race.

The carnival will have something

for all members of the family,

including a fun fair with games,

amusement rides and other

carnival-style attractions

including staples like clowns,

balloons and cotton candy. While

the children enjoy the kids and

tween zone featuring a role play

pit mock up, water obstacles and

cool zone, men and women who

enjoy adrenaline activities or

shopping can spend time karting

and drifting at the X-track or shop

at the F1 Village.

For die-hard fans, they can expect

an all-out intense battle as

world champion Lewis Hamilton

and the Petronas-sponsored

Mercedes team attempt another

championship winning season.

Last year, Hamilton opened his

assault on the world title in

Sepang by winning the first of

four consecutive races, which

was the foundation for his 2014

championship.

Hamilton will come under

severe pressure from former

champions, Sebastian Vettel,

Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button

and Kimi Raikkonen and a host of

other rising stars like his former

team mate Daniel Ricciardo and

William’s Valtteri Bottas. And of

course, the biggest challenge

will come from his own PETRONAS

Mercedes team mate, Nico

Rosberg.

Another exciting season is in store with drivers competing for the top podium at Sepang

This year, the Sepang International

Circuit (SIC) and SRO Motorsports

Group is jointly organising the

Sepang 12 Hours race on the 4th to

6th December 2015.

The Sepang 12 Hours race replaces

the popular Malaysia Merdeka

Endurance Race (MMER) which has

been organised by SIC since 1999. The

partnership with SRO Motorsports,

organisers of the highly successful

Blancpain Endurance Series, will

further elevate the profile and

stature of the Sepang 12 Hours.

SIC’s CEO, Dato’ Razlan Razali said

“We have been working on this

partnership with SRO Motorsports

Group for some time and I am

delighted that it has come to fruition.

SRO Motorsports Group brings with

them a wealth of knowledge and

know-how which will go a long way

in transforming the Sepang 12 Hours

further into a world-class race.”

The Sepang 12 Hours will be one

of the highlights for SIC this year.

The December event provides

opportunities to attract competitors

from other championships and

events such as the Japanese Super

GT, Macau GP and Bathurst to name

a few.

The Sepang 12 Hours event is

open to Touring Production and GT

machineries, with SRO Motorsports

Group concentrating on the latter.

The focus will be to bring SRO’s

experience and race networks in both

theGT3-GT4categoriesandinrunning

long-distance events to Malaysia and

to develop the Sepang 12 Hours to

one of the must-participate events

on the international motorsports

calendar.

Sepang International Circuit (SIC),

also revealed that the highly popular

Malaysia Super Series Championship

for Cars and Bikes will be split into

two separate categories.

Previously grouped together

under the Malaysian Super Series

championship banner, the bikes

and cars divisions will have their

own championships due to the

rising number of participants and

increasing volume of enthusiasts.

Beginning this year, the cars category

will be known as the Malaysia

Championship Series (MCS), while

the bikes category will be labelled as

the Malaysia Superbike Series (MSS).

“These are indeed thrilling times for

motorsports in the country. We have

seen positive growth in both the

bikes and cars events through the

increased number of participants

and support races. A change was

needed and I believe the time is

right to introduce the MCS and MSS,”

said SIC CEO, Dato’ Razlan Razali at a

special event in January. - By Zainal

In 1978, singers-songwriters

Horn, Downes and Woolley fretted

over the effects of technology

and 20th-century inventions for

the media arts and predicted in

their new wave-synthpop song

that Video would kill the radio

star. They could not have been

more wrong because fast forward

27 years later, radio is more

relevant now than ever before.

In conjunction with World Radio

Day, iM4U fm, a relatively new kid

on the block of radio stations in

Malaysia, celebrated the unique

power of ‘Youth and Radio’ with

the launch of its spanking new

studio. iM4U fm is targeted mainly

at youths and aims to spread

messages about volunteerism,

positive values and nation-

building. It is broadcast over the

frequency of 107.9 fm or www.

iM4Ufm.my for streaming.

Touted as the only non-profit

station in Malaysia, iM4U fm is

able to spearhead social causes

and discuss issues close to its

heart as it is not revenue-focused.

The fresh, vibrant concept of iM4U

fm’s new studio reflects positive

youth participation in the radio

community which is aligned with

iM4U’s mission to boost and instill

the spirit of volunteerism amongst

young Malaysians.

As radio is the most accessible

communication medium to

reach their target audience,

iM4U fm hopes to become the

preferred station among youths

and to provide a platform for the

development of fresh ideas and

creativity. Recognising that young

people do not like to be told what to

do, the station approaches youths

through music that they like to first

capture their attention. Only then

are elements of volunteerism and

positive values included, amplified

by the power of radio.

iM4U fm is also reaching out to their

fans by organizing events, special

activities and contests through

campus invasions and iM4U Street

Teams. Judging by the enthusiastic

response at these events and the

sharp growth of listeners, iM4U

fm is not too far from reaching its

finest hour. To quote that iconic

Queen song: Radio…someone still

loves you! - By Nurul Esmanadzlia Ismail

Armed with this belief, iM4U was

established to encourage and

attract youths to volunteerism

and socializing with communities

around Malaysia. The not-for-

profit organization is not just

about instilling altruism amongst

Gen Y and Z but also providing

them with opportunities to

develop skills, learn more

about career options, make

friends, garner new professional

contacts, get exercise, spend

time outdoors/with animals/

with kids, or just shake up their

routine through volunteering

activities.

To do that, their attention and

buy-in must first be captured.

Towards this end, iM4U has

launched ‘Reach Out’, a series

of conventions and celebrations

where entertainment is merged

with the serious messages. The

‘Reach Out’ roadshows are taking

place around Malaysia including

Sabah n Sarawak in venues such

as Politeknik Seberang Perai,

UiTM Kota Kinabalu, Politeknik

Kuching and others throughout

February and March.

Rudi Malik, the Chief Operating

Officer of iM4U, acknowledged

that it was a challenge to convince

colleges and institutions of

higher learning that Reach Out

was not another run-of-the-mill

convention but a unique platform

to promote volunteerism to

urban youth through sharing of

experiences by champions of

volunteerism who are successful

in their own arenas.

Sinceitsbirthin2013,ReachOut

has introduced international

and local icons to share their

experiences in volunteerism

and to show that volunteer

idea behind Skate4Cancer is that the cure is knowledge.

opportunities come in a variety

of exciting ways. Speakers have

included an impressive line-up

such as CNN Hero 2012 Pushpa

Basnet, co-founder of Earth Hour

Andy Ridley, Youtube sensations

David Choi, Kina Grannis

and motivational talks from

Skate4Cancer founder Rob Dyer,

violinist Sung Ahn, Micheal Teoh

(National Youth Icon and budding

entrepreneur), and National

climber Qobin.

For the entertainment element,

local acts such

as Pop Shuvit,

Mark Adam, DJ

Fuzz, Bunkface,

and Altimet have

drawn in the

crowds.

Rudi believes

that the

pop culture

approach is

the best way

to engage

youths and

introduce them to volunteerism.

“Volunteerism needs strength

physically and emotionally,

and we have that in our youths.

If we don’t put them in the

right direction, they can easily

get involved in unhealthy and

negative activities. Life is now

very challenging, so if we do

not instill positive values in our

youths, especially the spirit of

wanting to help others, they

will be blind to the hardships of

life. Volunteering is one of the

best ways we know of to make

a difference in our community.

Whatever your passion, however

you get involved, volunteering

offers a way to have a real and

lasting impact on the world,” he

added. – By Nora Atiqah Roslan

South Korea promotes itself as the “Soul of Asia”, no

doubt a tongue-in-cheek reference to its capital city

of Seoul with a similar pronunciation but with more

heart and definitely color. I found myself among a

group of entertainment writers and travel agents

heading there for a whirlwind K-Pop tour courtesy of

Korea Tourism Organisation, Oriental Escape Travel

(OET) Malaysia and SH Tours Korea.

The Korean experience began onboard Korean Air

KE672 heading for Incheon International Airport. The

innate hospitality of Koreans was evident through

the cabin crew who

were very warm, polite

and attentive to all

passengers. It was also

interesting to note that

the airline ensures

there is at least one

Malaysian or Malay

speaking cabin crew in

every flight from and to

Malaysia.

The sub-zero

arrival at Incheon

harsh but we were well-prepared

to face the elements with heat-

tech undergarments and warm

winter clothing.

Our six-day trip was full of color as

I was introduced bit by bit to the

Korean lifestyle and its modern

and popular culture which has

taken the world by storm, hence

its reference as a “Korean Wave”.

One of the most memorable visits

was to Namsan Tower, a famous

romantic location for lovers to

express their feelings by “locking

in” their love with padlocks on

metal grills, similar to love locks

found on Pont des Arts in Paris

and the Ponte Vecchio bridge in

Florence. I was stunned to see

thousands of love locks bearing

the names of many nationalities.

For the record, I secured my own

love lock there too, more as a

promise to return to this city

which had taken my heart away,

rather than to any person.

Another interesting visit was

to Seoul’s WAPOP Hall located

at Children’s Grand Park which

is similar to Malaysia’s own

Istana Budaya in that it features

concerts, musical and plays.

This K-Pop stage features a

weekly show with a lineup that

changes every week, thereby

ensuring the continuity and

sustainability of Korea’s most

popular export. Here, we were

entertained with feet tumping,

head bobbing performances

by emerging K-Pop artistes

such as 24K, Flashe, A-Cian and

Meively. The hall’s state-of-the-

art lighting complemented every

performance and was a personal

highlight for me.

My K-Pop trail continued the

next day when we were brought

to the buildings of established

K-Pop recording labels such

as JYP Entertainment Centre,

CUBE Entertainment and SM

Entertainment. At the K-Pop

Dance Studio and Training Centre,

we mustered some courage to

have a go at some choreographed

K-Pop dance moves and later had

an exclusive interview session

with Korean 2014 Rookie of The

Year, ZELO of B.A.P. (see KPO April

Issue for the interview session).

The K-Pop experience continued

at the K-Live Hologram Concert

in Lotte Fitin, Dongdaemun.

Cutting-edge technology has

now made it possible for adoring

audiences to watch K-Pop stars’

holograms perform any time as

their three-dimensional images

can be summoned at will. There

are concerts from various YG

Entertainment K-Pop stars like

Psy, Big Bang 2NE1 and many more

available at a reasonable price.

K-Live definitely gave me a fresh

perspective on high definition

(HD). A similar concept is also

offered by SM Entertainment at

their latest SM Coex Artium. SM

features their own popular K-Pop

groups like Girl’s Generation,

Super Junior, TVXQ and EXO to

appeal to K-Pop fans.

As a break from the K-Pop pace,

we boarded an E-Land Cruise that

sailed across the placid Han River.

It was a wonderful experience to

see modern buildings juxtaposed

with ancient architectures. The

cruise took about an hour to

complete and a word of caution

For fans of musicals, I would

recommend “Sachoom”, a non-

verbal musical show with a

simple plot but full of various

dance genres including hip-hop,

jazz, breakdancing and more. To

date, thismusical has toured 32

cities and was the first Korean

production to be performed at

the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in

2008.

On our last day in Seoul, we visited

“Some Sevit”, three glowing

manmade islands in the Han

River which are commonly used

for cultural and art activities by

the locals. The Cycle 21 finale

of successful franchise series

“America’s Next Top Model”

was shot here on location with

the world’s first water Culture

Complex forming a stunning

backdrop to Korea’s high fashion.

Seoul in winter is a special time

the high-end brands down to

its trendy street fashions. I

Salah satu daripadanya ialah mengadakan program ‘Back-to-School’ di beberapa lokasi terpilih di seluruh negara yang melibatkan kira-kira 10,000 pelajar-pelajar sekolah rendah dan sekolah menengah. Program ‘Back-to-School’ anjuran PLUS ini merupakan

sebahagian dari program sama yang dikendalikan oleh syarikat induknya, UEM Group Berhad (UEM Group). Bagi sesi persekolahan tahun 2015, UEM Group dan anak-anak syarikatnya seperti PLUS, telah menjelajah lebih dari 15 lokasi di seluruh negara, termasuklah Sabah dan Sarawak bagi menganjurkan program berkenaan. Secara keseluruhan, lebih dari 11,000 pelajar yang kurang berkemampuan telah menerima sumbangan tersebut.

Pada ketika ini, PLUS telah

meletakkan lebih daripada

400 papan tanda “Larangan

Merokok” di lokasi-lokasi

strategik di kawasan-

kawasan rehat di rangkaian

PLUS juga mengambil

inisiatif tambahan dengan

memasang kain rentang

untuk memaklumkan orang

ramai tentang larangan

tersebut.

Berdasarkan pemerhatian,

rata-rata pengunjung R&R

perokok boleh merokok

di kawasan yang tidak

safety tip

Maintainingyour tyres

Rotate your tyres!Check your tyre pressure every 8,000km. Rotate

your tyres.

Clean brake dust off regularlyBrake dust contains all sorts of nasty stuff. If you

leave it too long, the combination of road grime,

moisture and heat from your brakes will bake it

on to your wheels. Brake dust normally clings to

wheels with static electricity so a damp sponge

and clean cold water is the best way to get it off.

Check your tyre pressuresCheck your tyre pressures regularly - once a

week is ideal. Bad tyre pressures can affect fuel

economy,handlingandcomfort.It'seasytodoand

there is no excuse not to. arrow Checking your tyre

pressure.

Check your thread depthBald, slick tyres might be good for motor racing

but they'renogoodon the road.Most tyrescome

with tread wear bars built into them now - find one,

examine it and if your tread is too low, replace

your tyres. Four new tyres might seem expensive

butthey'recheaperthananaccident.
