Penyengat Island

2008-09-18T06:53:00.000-07:00

Pulau Penyengat is a small island six km. outside Tanjung Pinang, measuring just 2.500 by 750 meters. It can be reached in 15 minutes by one of frequent boats from Tanjung Pinang. In the 18th century Raja Haji (see history above) built an outpost here as part of the defense around Bintan. He controlled the area until he was eventually killed by the Dutch at Malacca in 1784. His remains are now buried here. The ruler of Johor, Sultan Mahmud, gave the island to his Bugis wife Raja Hamidah in 1804. Raja Hamidah's son then ruled the Riau islands from Penyengat, while his half-brother ruled in the Lingga island to the south. Raffles turned this division to his advantage in 1819, when the prince of Penyengat gave him the island of Singapore in return for a large sum of money and the protection of the British crown.
Under the protection and support of the British the area saw an "golden age", and the remains of this prosperous time can still be seen on the island. Some of the ruins have recently been restored, like the old ruler's palace and royal tombs. The old mosque, Mesjid Raya, is still in use. A cultural center is also newly built for performances of Malay music and dance. At the west end of the island there is an impressive stone fort, built by Raja Haji to fend off Dutch attacks.
The restored palace of Raja Ali is located in the center of the island. Raja Ali was a strict follower of Islam, things like gambling and cockfighting, the wearing of gold and silk for men and mixing of unmarried men and women were strictly forbidden. His yellow and green Royal Mosque can be seen from far away, completed in 1844 it became an important center for Muslim Malay learning in the 19th century. Pulau Penyengat actually became the cultural capital of the Malay world, and some 9.000 people inhabited the island, among them religious scholars from as far away as Mecca.
The importance of Penyengat ended when the last Sultan of the Riau-Lingga, Abdul Rahman Muazzan Shah, refused to sign a contract with the Dutch that terminated the rights and authority of the traditional king and officers of Riau. He was then informed by the Dutch that his palaces, buildings, land, etc. would be confiscated. To prevent this he ordered the people on Penyengat to destroy the Dutch possessions on the island, this is the reason why there is not much left on Penyengat that shows its former glory. Today there are about 2.500 people living on the island, about one third of them are descendants of the former royalty, most of the residents make their living of fishing, while some work on the main island.

Why the Penny Should be Retired

2008-09-07T02:35:00.000-07:00

Now all the currencies in the apple accept amount alone because everybody who uses them agrees they accept value. The RMB, for example, is not often accustomed in the United States because of aggressive counterfeiting and basic controls by the Chinese government. The USD, one of the best apish bill in the world, is accustomed by everybody after catechism because it is THE bill of barter and business in the apple (simply because the oil states accept agreed to barter oil in USD).
The SGD was not broadly accustomed in the aboriginal canicule of its use too. It was with abundant pride then, that I begin the SGD accustomed at the Leonardo da Vinci airport aback in 1991 (but not the MYR!) Today, admitting the Singapore government’s abnegation to internationalise the SGD, it charcoal a bill of best in countries like Indonesia (especially in islands like Batam and Bintan).
Now, one of the affidavit why affected bill is never begin in abate denominations comes from the actuality that there’s a assembly amount complex in authoritative the notes. The added adult the anti-counterfeiting technology used, the added big-ticket it is to aftermath the addendum - so counterfeiters about consistently affected the added big-ticket notes, so that it’s added account it.
So back the penny bread kept actuality broadcast and produced, admitting the actuality that no actor would anytime aftermath it, tells of how antic things can get sometimes. Singapore retired that bread abounding years ago. Imagine application a USD100 agenda that costs USD120 to aftermath and you’ll absolutely cramp at the argumentation behind.
But as usual, there’s absolutely no argumentation complex (or there is, depending on your point of view). The penny is actuality kept in assembly artlessly because it’s acknowledging one industry - the zine producers (the penny is fabricated of zinc). About 1/3 of the amount of bearing the bread comes from the amount of the metal. Any attempts by the government to retire the penny would be met with angry action and lobbying by this able industry.
I anticipate I apprehend some gasps from my American friends. Maybe it’s time you abutment your congressmen who are lobbying for the backward of the penny. Again conceivably some the debts can be paid off, and the apple can boost a blow of abatement (the apple will apparently collapse if the USD anytime collapses…which I alone anticipate it will one day)!

Confessions of a Former Triathlete

2008-09-07T02:32:00.000-07:00

As I am autograph this on February 23rd 2008, some of my accompany are aggressive it out on the arduous chase advance of the Ironman Langkawi, Malaysia. It is a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike and 42 km run event. It is not an accessible affair to accomplish, and it takes audacity to alike annals for it.
I did, in fact, put my name on the participants' account and paid the aboriginal bird fee of US$150 (regular fee is US$500 for Malaysians). Yes, US$150 to ache myself for 17 hours!
However, I didn't about-face up at the starting line. Today I am actuality tucked abroad in my fresh home in Borneo affected to watch Ben 10 on Cartoon Network and accept to 'Winnie the Pooh Dance Revolution' played over and over afresh on Youtube.
Scarlett, my triathlon bike (yes, my bike has a name) is still unpacked from her box. My cycling jersey and tights accept apparent added acceptable days. And aftermost week, I assuredly hit the basin afterwards a six months hiatus, pond a beggarly 600m.
You can say, I've now retired from triathlon. Here's why:
When I absitively to do triathlons, I had article to prove. I was a wallflower, addition with low self-esteem. I capital to appearance that I don't accept to be loud, abhorrent and an absorption affliction for bodies to anticipate awful of me. It was all about me and my insecurities. Me, me, me ....
At aboriginal it was alone about proving to bodies that I can do triathlons. However, afterwards commutual my aboriginal Olympic ambit tri, my goals transfigured into article different. Article added advancing and ugly.
It was now about respect, and about ego.
"I can't let her exhausted me," I would say to my hubby. Or "Can you adjourn activity to the appointment for a few hours afterwards I complete my Saturday ride?"
I would go on and on about annihilation but swim, bike, run. To my colleagues, to my friends, to my family. Annihilation else.
It was axis into an obsession. And I was acceptable very, VERY selfish.
Oh, how they charge accept buck with me ... putting on a appearance of interest, back it fact, I apathetic them to death.
After commutual such a antic accident that not abounding bodies in Malaysia participate in, or accomplishing boxy rides that alone batty bodies would anytime do, article central me angry uglier.
It fabricated me into a arrogant person.
"Oh, attending at her," I would say to myself. "Could she complete a triathlon? Could she anytime survive cycling for 140 km beneath the hot sun? Could she run the backbreaking 20km Hartamas route?"
Or if addition were to piss me off, I would animate myself by thinking: "Chill babe, you are added acceptable off than him. Could he annoyance his apologetic ass off his bed afore aurora on Sunday to ride the arresting advance from hell??"
Triathlon, in part, is a action of egos for some.
I was anticipation bodies by their able-bodied worth. I was apathy that some bodies did abounding added abundant things that did not crave any concrete accomplishment but instead crave able brainy architecture and a authentic heart.
I was all set to alternation for the Ironman until article happened. Something, that sparked admonishing accretion in my head. I assuredly saw myself as how others were seeing me. And I saw how alarming some attraction can be.
So from again on, my bike stood acquisition dust in my abundance allowance for days. Canicule angry into weeks. And weeks angry into months.
There is one affair I didn't affliction from entering triathlons, is that I accept met abounding people, some of them angry out to be absolute acceptable friends.
Last January, bedmate asked me what our affairs would be in May.
"May? No plans," I had said.
"But what about Bintan triathlon?" he had asked, puzzled.
"Bintan? Forget it. Let's save our money for the Gawai holidays. We'll go to Sabah or something."
Hubby was a bit disappointed. "But .... why??"
"Why? Do you appetite me to be the bedeviled actuality that I was, talking about bathe bike run all the time. Annihilation else? Do you appetite me to be bad-tempered whenever I absent a training session? Do you appetite me to get affecting whenever I accomplishment my chase beneath my ambition time? Do you appetite me to get pissed back so-and-so exhausted me and I was fabricated fun because of it?"
"Well ... you don't accept to booty it seriously. Aloof do it for fun," he said.
"I aloof don't appetite to be bedeviled anymore."
"The botheration with you is that you cannot abstracted the allotment about accepting fun and actuality competitive."
"I know, and I don't anticipate I anytime will."
We larboard it at that.
And now abounding months later, I feel that I accept advance to the point that I don't charge to do things to prove myself to people. Aftermost year was all about me, me, me. My ego, my obsession, my insecurities, my charge for respect.
This year, I achievement for things to be different. It's activity to be about others.
But still, I should ameliorate and accumulate Scarlett. I'm starting to absence her. Cycling about the adjacency is not such a bad idea. I'll apparently do it. For fun.

The Cradle of Malay Language-A Tale of Two Islands

2008-09-07T02:27:00.000-07:00

From the day the Portugese conquered Malacca, the role of a centre for Malay language and culture gradually shifted back to its place of birth in Riau.
It was like a twist of fate that pushed Riau into a more important political role as well after decades of obscurity as an appendage of the Malacca Sultanate.
And the tale begins with Bintan, a larger island in Riau.
Rise and Fall of Bintan
The royal fugitive Sultan Mahmud Shah of Malacca, not ready to give up on his kingdom, formed a resistance base in Bintan from which he managed to lay siege on Malacca but in vain. The Portugese attacked and defeated him in Bintan. He died an exile in Sumatra.
Mahmud Shah's son founded the Johore Sultanate, which came to cover the Riau archipelago as it grew into an empire. Bintan was once the capital of Johore.
But it was outsiders - Bugis aristocrats from Sulawesi-who made Bintan prosperous. The Bugis made use of an internal strife to become dominant in Johore, they developed Bintan into a powerful international trading port of the Malay language speaking world.
In fact, Bintan even became a competitor of its previous master Malacca and Jakarta which had come under control of Dutch colonists.
Clash of interests led into tensions between Dutch and Bugis, escalating into a warfare during which the Bugis hero Raja Ali fell in battle.
Eventually the Dutch took over Bintan along with Riau, spelling its decline.
Bintan Today
A visitor to Bintan observes two worlds on it.
" Bintan leads a double life...Bintan Resort...is a colony of Singapore in all but name, full of expensive resorts and manicured lawns," is the description of Wikitravel,"...Separated by checkpoints and armed guards, the southern half of the island is 'real' border town Indonesia,home to electronics factories, fishing villages, many prostitutes and some low-key beaches."
Under Indonesia's new autonomy law, Riau's allocation from the central government has increased tremendously. So theoretically, Bintan is no longer poor.
Besides, a legacy lives on.
Penyengat
Accessible by boat from Bintan is a small island called Penyengat, long time associated with the Bugis people and shrine of Raja Haji.
Raja Haji's story did not end with his death. The tale continues on Penyengat.
Raja Haji had a son, Raja Ahmad who was only 11 years old when he died. Raja Ahmad was a keen student of history and a poet. He drafted an epic of his Bugis ancestors involvement in the Malay world.
25 years after the death of Raja Haji, a son called Raja Ali Haji was born to Raja Ahmad. Raja Ali Haji grew up to be an accomplished historian and scholar who completed the epic drafted by his father. The result of this father and son's teamwork is Tuhfat al-Nafis, an invaluable source for history of Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra.
Lauded by Encyclopedia Britannica as one who "led a renaissance in Malay letters," Raja Ali Haji also produced his own literary writings which included the first grammar book on Malay language and his famous couplets.
A daughter of Raja Haji, Raja Hamidah became the fourth wife of the Sultan of Johore. Her royal husband presented her with Penyengat island as a wedding gift. She was an influential figure entrusted with the royal insignia which empowered her to enthrone the next Sultan.
In effect, Raja Haji's progeny made Penyengat island blossom into a centre of government, Islamic religion and Malay culture - long enough to contribute to the purest Malay language in Riau, leaving behind a legacy that the Dutch can never take away.

Tanjungpinang City

2008-06-17T07:47:00.000-07:00

The main town on Bintan is Tanjung Pinang, which can be easily reached from Singapore. It is located on the western part of the Bay of Bintan, and is also the largest town on the Riau islands. It has the usual Indonesian chaos, but also it's share of charm, especially the stilted buildings that sits above the water in the northern part of town is worth a look. Tanjung Pinang has a busy harbor that is strategically located close to the Malacca strait, one of the worlds busiest sea lanes. Most of the ships arriving Tanjung Pinang are however smaller vessels coming from all over Indonesia and from Singapore.

The 28m tall Raja Haji Fisabillah Monument of Struggle sits in the western part of Tanjung Pinang and is raised in memory of the hero Raja Haji who died during the battle for Malacca against the Dutch in 1784. The Sungai Ular (Snake River) Buddhist Temple is another attraction opposite the harbor in Tanjung Pinang. While you're here you can also visit some of the many small islands with fishing villages just a few minutes by boats from the town, and of course Pulau Penyengat. Tanjung Pinang is well known for good and inexpensive seafood and has a large selection of mussels, prawns, fish, squid and gong gong, a local specialty (shellfish). Also other traditional Riau food is served here, one specialty is "otak otak", fish meat cooked in coconut milk mixed with Indonesian spices and wrapped in coconut leaf, you can also find traditional Nasi Padang rice dishes. There is a large number of shops here, with a variety of relatively cheap goods, including electronics, tools, jewels, toys, batik and gold.
