"Jumlah transaksinya mencapai senilai 750 ribu dolar AS atau setara Rp8,625 miliar, yang berarti melebihi target yang diharapkan," kata Atase Perdagangan KBRI Kuala Lumpur, Fajarini Puntodewi kepada Antara di Kuala Lumpur, Rabu. Menurut dia, produk makanan dan minuman yang meraih transaksi di antaranya produk teh, produk kakao, produk diet dan franchise ayam goreng. Selain transaksi tersebut, lanjut dia, produk-produk UKM Indonesia yang dijual secara retail juga sangat laris sehingga semua produk terjual habis. Puntodewi menambahkan, permintaan akan produk Indonesia tidak saja berasal dari Malaysia, namun juga dari beberapa negara lainnya seperti Bangladesh, Tunisia dan Hong Kong. Pameran yang berlangsung pada 19-21 Juni 2014 diikuti oleh 400 exhibitor, termasuk 26 exhibitor international antara lain dari Tiongkok, Ekuador, Yunani, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea Selatan, Taiwan, Thailand dan Singapura.

Produk seperti teh, kopi dan kakao dari Indonesia memiliki pasar sangat baik di Malaysia, karena kualitas yang tinggi serta biaya transportasi lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan pesaing dari Afrika.
| | folio <b>makanan</b> tradisional <b>di</b> malaysia - <b>Makanan di</b> Malaysia - Blogger Posted: 24 Jul 2014 07:57 PM PDT   Alfred Jabu flew out Sarawakians to dress up as grateful "rural folk" and parade at the IEA as people who had benefitted from SALCRA The prominent London-based free market 'think tank', the Institute of Economic Affairs, has been put in an embarrassing position over an apparent conflict of interest, thanks to remarks by Sarawak's Deputy Chief Minister, Alfred Jabu. Jabu, in a speech earlier this week, boasted about his "world-wide acknowledgement" by the Institute, thanks to being granted a platform in January, at the launch of a supposedly independent report on palm oil, commissioned by the IEA. Sarawak Report has now investigated the matter and uncovered compromising links between the on-going PR campaigns sponsored by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council and this IEA report. The report, entitled reflects the arguments of the MPOC and praises the Malaysian palm oil industry, claiming it "has a good record with regards to sustainability": "Certainly, some loss of forest and wildlife habitat has occurred as a result of the expansion of agriculture, including oil palm, in Malaysia, but the extent of this loss appears to have been exaggerated. The majority of palm oil plantations are located on the Malaysian mainland peninsula – nowhere near the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo where the Borneo orang-utans are to be found. Over 50 per cent of Malaysia's land area remains under forest cover and many areas are given full protection against logging"[IEA Report, October 2013]  Massive deforestation – the reality of Sarawak's oil palm industry The author of the report, which clearly defies all the known evidence about this most rapidly deforested area on the planet, is a member of the Institute's own Editorial Board, Keith Boyfield, who told Sarawak Report that the entire report was commissioned by the IEA, which published it as a 'discussion paper'. Yet Boyfield, who operates his own consultancy, has enjoyed two recent trips to Sarawak, funded by none other than the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC). Not only that, it turns out that Boyfield was accompanied on at least one of these occasions by senior staff of the IEA, including the chief operating officer, Glynn Brailsford, who also enjoyed the hospitality of the MOPC. And their chief host on these trips? None other than Boyfield's fellow panellist at the IEA event, Deputy Chief Minister Alfred Jabu, the Chairman of the controversial SALCRA (Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority)!  Keith's Malaysian Government host Alfred Jabu enjoying a platform at the IEA with the launch of its 'research paper' on palm oil Only natural! Boyfield has confirmed to Sarawak Report that his trip was funded by the Malaysian Government: "We got an invitation from the Malaysian Government….They [the MPOC] certainly were responsible for organising some of it. That was the background. The study was commissioned by the IEA" When informed that there have been a number of PR drives of this nature by the MPOC, Boyfield appeared to contradict the IEA's ethical guidelines, which bann government sponsorship and tied funding, saying: "Well that's only natural!" He also confirmed he was hosted and escorted by SALCRA to their own plantations. SALCRA has forced thousands of native customary land owners into statutory 'joint ventures' with the state government to grow palm oil with highly controversial outcomes. The trip in April 2012 was variously described in Sarawak's government controlled media as a "press trip" (Borneo Post), a trip of "international experts" (Star) and as "a visit by an 8 member delegation of the IEA" (Sarawak Monitor)  Hearing SALCRA's side of the story – but was this genuine or "tied" research? [The Star Archive] These visits and links to the Malaysian Palm Oil Council by the author of the report and "fellow" of the IEA clearly breech the purpose of the Institute's own "rock solid rules" against any "tied funding" to research or government sponsorship, as explained by a spokeswoman for the Institute this week: "in terms of our funding we don't take any tied money, so the paper would have been commissioned purely on the merit of the work that is in it. And again we don't accept any money from government or government agencies" Responding to our queries, the spokeswoman admitted that given the clear involvement of the MPOC and Jabu in Boyfield's research and the IEA's own compromising links, "it is a very complex and inter-twined matter". She added "I understand obviously that it may be the case that the conclusions in Keith's paper aren't necessarily a true reflection of how things are, and that may well be to do with a number of other factors, but in terms of the relations we have, we did not take any tied money".  Posing as representatives of SALCRO "smallholders" at the IEA It is a weak position to take and the Institute's will have been further embarrassed by the fact that Jabu and the Malaysian Palm Oil Council have not hesitated to extract maximum positive PR from both the IEA visits to Borneo and the resulting return trip to London to launch the IEA's positive report on Malaysia's record. 'Native smallholders' flown to the UK To take advantage of the IEA event the MPOC flew over three "Sarawak smallholders" to join Alfred Jabu on stage. The MPOC named the trio on their promotional 'faces of palm oil' Facebook page, as Thomas Lamit, Rebecca Lambet and Briku Busang. All three dressed up in tribal costume for the evening, in order to present themselves to the British onlookers as delighted native beneficiaries of the SALCRA 'joint venture' programmes. Later, the same trio dressed in ordinary clothes, posed outside the Houses of Parliament to record a You Tube video, in which they took turns to condemn NGOs and to boast how they now have new homes and cars, thanks to oil palm and SALCRA. This video, entitled 'Human Faces of Palm Oil', was sponsored by SALCRA and the MPOC. In it the lead speaker claims, untruthfully, that "palm oil cultivation in Sarawak is done on land already cleared long ago, so there is no destruction of forest".  Malaysian Government funded this "smallholder's" trip to the UK to attend the IEA event and produce promotional material on oil palm 
In the same video Rebecca Lambet describes her own family's rich new lifestyle, including multiple car ownership. These are circumstances that bear little relation to the reality of life for most dirt poor Dayaks living on SALCRA plantations. Furthermore, these PR friendly "smallholders'" are noticeably advanced English-speakers, considering they are supposed to be rural folk. Despite the IEA's attempt to distance themselves from "tied funding" these 'faces of palm oil' clearly had their trip funded by the Malaysian public. PR dividends for the Malaysian Oil Palm Industry It is therefore clear is that Keith Boyfeild and his IEA event have just provided the latest platform for yet another publicly funded publicity stunt by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council in their on-going 'greenwash campaign' promoting palm oil. And the MPOC generated publicity around Boyfield's Sarawak visits wholly undermines any attempts by the IEA to claim distance or objectivity for their research.  Boyfield (3rd left) and Jabu on his 'press trip' in 2012. In the article he lavished praise on BN's record in Sarawak, saying it was time to "correct misperceptions in western countries" For example, during his MPOC funded visit in 2012, Boyfield was quoted extensively by the KTS-owned Borneo Post (below), who portrayed him as a senior international journalist, relentlessly praising the Sarawak state government and its record on logging, oil palm and the environment: "The state government should do more to promote the positive things it has been doing with regards to nature conservation to correct misperceptions, especially among western countries…Keith Boyfield, the spokesperson for a delegation of foreign media to the state, said…  Sarawak oil palm expert, thanks to his week long trip? He opined that at the moment Sarawak had been too modest in its campaign to tell the world about its conservation efforts, and because of that it had been subjected to criticisms particularly in Britain and Europe about the way oil palm plantations were being developed here… "Most of the things we hear about are always threats to the habitats and also constant theme of the elimination of mangrove swamps and rainforests when in actual fact that doesn't appear to be the case," he said... Boyfield, who is a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and other leading newspapers and journals including Financial Centres International, said before this there had been a lot of criticisms in Great Britain and Europe about the way oil palm plantations were being developed in Malaysia and Indonesia… "There also have been sort of view from people in Britain that Malaysians or the people of Sarawak are cutting down all the virgin rainforests and eliminating the habitats for mammals like orang utans so that they could grow oil palm," he noted. He explained that the purpose of the delegation was basically to see with their own eyes whether some of the claims and accusations made in the western media corresponded to reality, saying what they discovered proved that those reports were untrue."[Borneo Post 28/4/12] Boyfield's quoted opinions on these matters appear to have been furnished by his week long visit, hosted by SALCRA and being shown round SALCRA plantations by Alfred Jabu. They contradict widely known facts and betray a lack of genuine investigation on the ground. Indeed his own reports on Twitter at the time focused less on the conditions in dirt poor Dayak longhouses and more on his sponsored accommodation in the Taib family's Hilton Hotel!  Report from the ground? – excited tweets from Boyfield about his luxury experience of Sarawak in Kuching's Hilton A bit of time in the interior of Sarawak would surely have informed Mr Boyfield a little better, because according more quotes in the Borneo Post, he then came out with the astonishing claim that the state's oil palm plantations were merely conversions from the traditional rubber plantations and that the virgin jungle remains intact! "This is because from what we see so far is it appeared that your palm oil plantations have actually switched from other commodities such as rubber and now you have been cultivating palm oil instead of other commodities. "It is not so much of you cutting down lots of primary rainforest as claimed by some western media," he [Boyfield] commented [Borneo Post] Fact check for Keith Boyfield These remarks by Boyfield were repeated throughout the Sarawak media at the time and also later when the IEA report was produced. One widely disseminated article was entitled "British experts say criticisms from foreign NGOs on environment are exaggerated": British experts say criticisms from foreign NGOs on environment are exaggerated "The Institute of Economic Appeal (IEA) has produced a report entitled "Commercial Agriculture: Is It A Cure Or A Curse, Malaysian and African Experience Constructed" by Keith Boyfield. The report highlights the roles played by SALCRA in spearheading a move to develop native customary right land into commercial plantation….. This very favorable report was produced by The Institute of Economic Appeal an Independent Body following a visit by its 8-member delegation to Sarawak sometime in April 2012, During the visit, members of the delegation led by Mr. Keith Boyfield had dialogue sessions and discussions with members of local business community, representatives of statutory bodies and general public including participants in the land development schemes. They visited Palm Oil Plantation at Sungai Stengang in Stungkur, conducted interviews with many SALCRA scheme participants and visited Palm Oil Mill. After visiting Sarawak they visited Peninsular Malaysia for the same purpose.  Great PR material for BN's cyber-bloggers To the contrary, we suggest it is time that Boyfield shook off the MOPC, took a more independent visit and checked his facts. Because, this expert of one week was soon engaging in public debates and making his ignorance plain – claiming for example that "property rights are pretty well respected in Malaysia" and that the concept of Land Grabs is too "emotive" and "nuanced" with respect to the oil palm debate.  Academic tour or the usual tourist junket courtesy of the Sarawak government ? Mr Boyfield should contact Sarawak's expert native land rights lawyers, who have seen numerous court victories ignored by the state government and outfits like SALCRA, and think again. No immigrant workers? Boyfield has also claimed that during his 'academic visit' to Sarawak he observed that everyone he met working on oil palm plantations was a local person and not a migrant worker! "In Sarawak it strikes me because traditionally its been a much poorer part of Malaysia than the peninsula they're able to recruit locally". Mr Boyfield should contact any of the grassroots indigenous groups, who could tell him of the major problem with respect to the vast immigrant labour force in Sarawak and the uneconomic wages for local people, even on their own SALCRA "smallholdings", and then speak again. Great dividends from SALCRA? In yet another article, promoting his concept that the Malaysian Palm Oil Industry should be encouraged to expand into Africa for the benefit of the world poor, Boyfield even plays the SALCRA 'dividend game', ie spouting big figures without finishing the maths: "In Sarawak, standards of living have been transformed by commercial agri-business… Farmers associated with SALCRA, a group set up to develop native land rights in Sarawak, have earned $163m individend payments since 1985″ [Keith Boyfield, The Enquirer, Liberia] Given Boyfield himself acknowledges that there are around 22,000 SALCRA members, this sum in fact calculates over the 30 year period to about $200 a year per family, in return for the sacrifice of their rightful native lands and forests to the government controlled 'joint ventures', managed by Alfred Jabu.  World's worst CEO? Ordinary shareholders have gained little from SALCRA – only BN cronies and himself have profited As everyone in Sarawak knows, the smallholders from SALCRA have received virtually nothing in return for the surrender of their lands and that Jabu's dividends have been paltry compared to the rich profits made by privately run oil palm ventures. Neither did these native customary rights land owners receive one ringgit from the huge sums raised out of logging the timber from their lands to make way for the SALCRA palm oil plantations (less than 5% of virgin forest remains in Sarawak – just another fact check for Mr Boyfield). Only government ministers, like Alfred Jabu and their cronies, have raked in hundreds of millions from the land grab policies of the State of Sarawak. The Dayak remain as poor as ever. Attacking NGOs  MPOC was about to hire FBC Media, before SR exposed their illegal activities and closed them down But rather than check his facts and balance his arguments, this British consultant has chosen instead to adopt the Malaysian Palm Oil's obsession with attacking NGOs. In Malaysia free speech and independent opinion are treated like crimes by BN politicians, who find all criticism highly damaging, since they usually can't answer it. But, why should a British onlooker condemn legitimate concerns raised by NGOs in the same way? This week, when Jabu again went on the attack over native protests against Sarawak's latest dam building and 'industrialisation programme', the DCM as ever blamed "selfish foreign NGOs who are being paid" for "inciting" them. He revealed his own paid for PR in the process: "From overseas they get support from negative NGOs, but these people from overseas what do they know about our internal potential? I went over to London last January at the invitation of the Institute of Economic Affairs to be one of the panel speakers whereby my presentation to overseas has been acknowledged worldwide by the Institute of Economic Affairs in London. And I have been invited again to go to Belgium to tell the NGOs in Europe about our need to survive. Our own people, not because of the selfishness of the NGOs who are being paid, I know i've got records, by countries they collect money to finance the NGOs to disturb us here and I'm going to fight that, for the sake of Sarawak." [recorded speech] Sarawak Report will investigate Jabu's Belgium event. But, meanwhile why has Mr Boyfield has adopted the same anti-NGO line in his supportive articles for the MPOC? "GLOBAL food security and the need to save Africa's poor from starvation have dominated international discussions for decades, and were key themes at the latest G8 summit. Yet the goal has triggered a raft of accusations from campaigning NGOs that business is guilty of "land grabs" across tropical Africa. The Guardian's George Monbiot, for example, claims that we are about to witness "a new set of agreements that allow foreign companies to grab [Africa's] land, patent their seeds and monopolise their food markets. This is scaremongering of the worst order and symptomatic of an ill-thought out attack on capitalism's role as a generator of prosperity."[Keith Boyfield, The Enquirer] FBC Media would have been proud of all this from Mr Boyfield – they were the last British champions for the MOPC and they adopted exactly the same theme in their which was later disowned by the BBC. But, when Ministers like Alfred Jabu start hurling unsubstantiated accusations about "paid NGOs", engaged by foreign powers to undermine Malaysia, someone should remind him about the millions of ringgit that are being wasted by the Malaysian Government itself on engaging this sort of blatant PR from consultants like Keith Boyfield. It is always public money wasted, because people like Boyfield always get rumbled.

sumber asal: http://www.wanista.com by | | Blog <b>Makanan di Selangor</b>: 10 Restoran Makanan Laut Paling <b>...</b> Posted: 13 Aug 2014 01:40 PM PDT Selama ini perjalanan kami ke Malaysia selalu didominasi oleh penelusuran tentang seluk beluk kehidupan metropolitan di Kuala Lumpur. Tanpa sengaja, ternyata Anda sudah sering keluar masuk "negeri" lain, yaitu Selangor. Namun kita tetap merasa masih di KL saja dan jarang mengingat Selangor. Padahal Selangor memiliki unsur-unsur kepariwisataan sendiri yang tidak kalah menarik dengan ibu kota negara itu. Bedanya, bila KL dikenal sebagai kota perdagangan, maka Selangor memposisikan diri sebagai kota industri. Termasuk industri kerajinan tangan (kraf) yang tetap dipertahankan untuk melestarikan tradisi lokal sekaligus memperkaya warna kepariwisataan di negeri ini. Bila boleh diumpamakan, hubungan Selangor dengan Kuala Lumpur adalah ibarat Deli Serdang yang mengelilingi Kota Medan. Secara guyon, orang Selangor mengatakan bahwa Kuala Lumpur hanyalah kota yang menumpang di Selangor. Memang, Bandara KLIA, distrik pemerintahan pusat yang baru Putrajaya dan sirkuit internasional Sepang semuanya berada di wilayah Selangor. Bahkan untuk mendapatkan izin Sultan Selangor, pembangunan Putrajaya telah dilakukan dengan satu syarat, bahwa pemerintah serikat bersedia membangun satu istana sultan di jantung kota itu. Dari tanggal 2-4 September 2013 lalu, kami diundang oleh Tourism Negeri Selangor untuk melakukan eksplorasi industri kraf di berbagai tempat di negeri itu. Kegiatan ini disebut dengan "Kembara Kraf Negeri Selangor 2013", sebuah program annual yang telah dimulai setahun sebelumnya. Mereka menilai bahwa industri ringan (rumahan) perlu mendapat promosi yang sepadan untuk menjadikan hasil-hasil kebudayaan masyarakat dapat eksis di tengah industri berat yang sudah mapan. Oleh sebab itu, industri kraf telah disokong oleh berbagai dinas, seperti dinas pertanian, dinas pariwisata dan dinas perdagangan. Berbeda dengan kawasan industri berat yang umumnya berpusat pada suatu kompleks industri, kekayaan industri kraf di Selangor tinggal terpencar-pencar di rumah-rumah penduduk atau workshop yang berlokasi di desa-desa. Mereka berkembang sebagai tradisi dan warisan keluarga, dengan sifatnya yang sangat terikat dengan lingkungannya, karena lingkungan tertentu menyediakan bahan murah tertentu yang mereka perlukan. Karena itu, untuk mengunjungi tempat-tempat industri di Negeri Selangor yang luas, para peserta program ini harus melakukan perjalanan yang cukup jauh dari satu tempat ke tempat berikutnya. Itu pula yang menjadi asas penamaan kegiatan ini dengan "pengembaraan" (kembara). Asramael Craft Enterprise Perjalanan kami dimulai dengan mengunjungi Asramael Craft, yaitu industri kerajinan tangan ukiran ulu pedang yang dikelola oleh Encik Ismail B. Ahmad. Lokasinya berada di kawasan Taman Pendamaran Permai, Port Klang Selangor, Darul Ehsan. Di sini, kami diperlihatkan dengan keterampilan tradisional yang dimiliki Ismail dalam mengukir berbagai jenis kayu, kemudian dijadikan sebagai ulu (sarung) parang melayu.  Beberapa jenis hulu pedang melayu dari kayu. Ismail menciptakan motif-motif ulu parang melayu dengan memanfaatkan tradisi leluhurnya, dikombinasi dengan inovasinya sendiri sehingga membentuk aneka citarasa sarung pedang sebagai suvenir atau koleksi bagi yang meminatnya. Sebagian ulu pedang itu juga dapat digunakan secara fungsional untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari. Sarung-sarung pedang itu dibuat dari berbagai macam kayu lokal seperti kemuning, kayu arang, rengas, cendana, ru, kopi dan berbagai jenis lain. Konon, yang paling kuat dan mahal adalah kayu berlian dan kayu ciku. Ciri kayu-kayu yang bagus ini adalah motif alamiahnya yang cantik, kuat dan kasar teksturnya. Cipta Edar Dho Sdn Bhd  Encik Zaimy memamerkan koleksi rehalnya. Masih menggunakan bahan kayu, tempat berikutnya yang kami kunjungi adalah Cipta Edar Dho Sdn Bhd di Batu 13, Puchong. Kerajinan ini memanfaatkan kayu untuk menciptakan rehal, semacam meja kecil untuk tempat meletakkan Al-Quran. Aneka bentuk dan motif rehal ini dikerjakan oleh Encik Zaimy Darus. Bagi yang beragama Islam, tentulah barang ini tak asing lagi. Ketika seseorang membaca Al-Quran sambil duduk bersila di lantai, maka rehal diperlukan sebagai alas kitab suci tersebut. Terkesan sepele, namun tidak bagi Encik Zaimy. Ia memproduksi 3.000 unit rehal per bulan. Pesanannya beredar hingga Amerika, Inggris, Australia dan Brunai. Mahkota Songket Pada hari kedua, perjalanan selanjutnya menuju Mahkota Songket yang beralamat di No. 60, Jalan Ragbi 13/30, Seksyen 13, 40100, Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan. Di sana, Puan Zaleena telah menunggu kami untuk memamerkan aneka songket selangor yang dikoleksinya. Ia tidak hanya menunjukkan tenunan songket yang telah jadi, tetapi juga menyediakan atraksi pembuatan songket secara langsung oleh para ahlinya.  Seorang penenun mengerjakan songket di bengkel kerja terbuka milik usaha kerajinan Mahkota Songket. Satu songket selangor bisa memakan waktu pembuatan hingga satu bulan lamanya. Biasanya songket ini dipakai oleh wanita Melayu pada acara-acara yang khusus, terutama bila ada hajatan tradisional. Bila dicermati, songket selangor masih memiliki motif yang berkaitan dengan songket palembang, di mana motif pucuk rebung dan flora mendominasi aksennya. Koleksi songket ini dikombinasi dengan pakaian laki-laki Melayu, yaitu teluk belanga. Paulini Nusantara Sdn Bhd Tidak kalah menarik adalah kunjungan ke Paulini Nusantara, sebuah usaha kerajinan perak yang dikelola oleh Puan Lini di No. 20 Jalan Penyair U 1/44, Tamasya Industrial Park, Shah Alam, Selangor. Di sini kita dapat menyaksikan koleksi perak dengan aneka disain yang sangat halus dan elegan. Di samping itu, Puan Lini juga menyediakan workshop yang dapat diakese langsung oleh para pengunjung sehingga proses pembuatan hiasan perak itu dapat dipelajari, mulai dari peleburan perak, pembuatan cetakan, hingga proses penghalusan.  Pengrajin di Paulini Nusantara menunjukkan kebolehannya kepada pengunjung. Selain untuk perhiasan kalung, gelang, anting dan pin, Puan Lini juga mengkombinasikan kerajinan perak ini dengan berbagai keperluan yang berkaitan dengan tas tangan, topi, dompet, plakat, dan sebagainya. 
Tentu saja, koleksi kerajinan tangan dari perak ini memberikan pilihan yang banyak untuk dijadikan sebagai hadiah bagi seseorang, karena selain bernilai hand made, produk mereka cocok dipakai untuk kepentingan fashion.  Perpaduan antara kain tenun dan aksesori perak. Attitude Planet Art (APA) Lokasinya cukup terpencil, yaitu di kawasan pedesaan, persisnya di Pusat Inkubator, Batu 18, Hulu Langat. Di sini kami menyaksikan Encik Fauzi AB. Majid mendemonstrasikan kebolehannya membuat aneka suvenir dan hiasan dengan menggunakan hasil-hasil pertanian yang tak lagi digunakan. Kerajinan ini memberikan kesempatan bagi para petani untuk memberikan nilai tambah kepada sisa hasil pertaniannya atau berbagai bahan alami yang tersedia di sekitar lingkungannya. 
Dia bukan hanya menunjukkan kemampuannya, tapi juga memberikan kesempatan kepada para pengunjung untuk belajar langsung di tempat hingga bisa membuat satu benda untuk dibawa pulang oleh masing-masing. Ternyata hasil-hasil pertanian dapat dibuat menjadi aneka bentuk kerajinan sesuai imajinasi kita sendiri. Dan akhirnya sejumlah peserta mendapat buah tangan untuk dibawa pulang, dari hasil kerja tangan sendiri. 
Tapi yang paling tak mampu terlupakan adalah ketika tuan rumah menjamu kami dengan aneka sajian tradisional melayu, berhubung suasana Lebaran masih tersisa. Salah satu yang spesial adalah tempoyak (gulai yang terbuat dari durian), yang dimasak oleh seorang warga keturunan Jawa. Di desa ini memang terdapat pemukiman Jawa, Kerinci dan Mandailing. Mereka membawa tradisi masakannya ke Selangor dan diadopsi menjadi jajaran masakan tradisional mereka di sana.Pemerintah setempat pun membinanya dan dijadikan sebagai salah satu aspek pariwisata di bidang kuliner.  Tempoyak, salah satu makanan tradisional yang sudah mulai langka. Perwujudannya berada di antara sayur dan lauk yang bahan utamanya terbuat dari durian. Menyantap masakan-masakan lezat dan spicy ini, kami tidak dibenarkan memakai sendok. "Ini cara Melayu, cara orang kampung, jadi kita harus pakai tangan," ajak tuan rumah sambil menyilakan rombongan kami santap siang dan menutupnya dengan pesta makan buah tropis seperti langsat, rambutan, pisang, manggis, nenas, dan sebagainya.  Encik Fauzi mendemonstrasikan pembuatan salah satu kerajinan berasaskan hasil pertanian kepada peserta Kembara Kraf Negeri Selangor 2013. Ketemu Rezeki Maju Perjalanan selanjutnya terasa cukup panjang. Kami memerlukan sekitar 5 jam untuk mencapai kawasan Sepang untuk melewati malam di Golden Palm Tree Resort, sebuah kawasan resort terpadu yang berlokasi di atas permukaan laut. Puas menikmati fasilitas bintang lima ini, keesokan harinya kami menuju industri rumah tangga milik Puan Hajjah Zarina. Dapur keripik milik Puan Hajjah Zarina tergolong sederhana saja, tapi mereka memproduksi keripik ubi yang sangat crispy dengan kemasan yang baik. Sebagian keripik ini diekspor ke luar negeri, termasuk ke Australia.  Seorang pekerja asal Jawa sedang mengupas ubi untuk selanjutnya diolah menjadi keripik. Para pekerja di dapur keripik "Ketemu Rezeki Maju" ini kebanyakan perantau dari Jawa. Keterampilan membuat ubi telah mereka dapatkan sebelumnya di kampung halamannya, tapi dengan manajemen dan pengolahan yang lebih baik, mereka memilih bekerja di Malaysia. Ubi adalah bahan yang mudah tumbuh di Asia Tenggara dan dapat diolah menjadi berbagai macam kebutuhan yang bernilai tinggi. Selain menjadi bahan dasar pembuatan tepung tapioka, keripik ubi juga telah dikenal lama oleh masyarakat Melayu sebagai kudapan yang menyenangkan. 
Pak Lang Ngah Kraf Masih di kawasan Sepang, selepas makan siang yang hangat di Banghuris Homestay, Kampung Hulu Chucoh, kami tiba di Pak Lang Ngah Kraf. Pemiliknya adalah Pak Lang Ngah sendiri. Ia membuat kerajinan yang berbahan dasar kelapa, mulai dari pohon, bunga dan buahnya. Kebetulan workshop-nya memang tidak jauh dari lokasi pantai yang ditandai dengan banyaknya pohon kelapa.  Display produk kerajinan Pak Ngah. Dari bagian-bagian pohon kelapa, Pak Ngah menciptakan benda-benda unik untuk berbagai keperluan, mulai dari dolanan anak hingga peralatan rumah tangga. Di antaranya adalah sarang lampu dari batok kelapa, sendok nasi, hiasan, helmet dan berbagai aksesoris. 
Dengan berakhirnya kunjungan ke Pak Lang Ngah, maka berakhir pulalah program Kembara Kraf Selangor 2013.  Pak Ngah menunjukkan cara penggunaan lampu kelapa hasil buatannya. Menurut Assistant Director di Selangor State Secretary Office, Puan Farah Liyana, program Kembara Kraf Selangor yang diadakan sebagai agenda tetap tahunan merupakan upaya terus menerus Pemerintah Negeri Selangor untuk mempromosikan industri-industri kerajinan yang masih mempertahankan ciri khas daerahnya. "Ini merupakan langkah untuk memberikan stimulasi kepada para pelaku kraf, khususnya yang masih berkaitan dengan tradisi lokal di Selangor Darul Ehsan. Kerajaan memberikan dukungan penuh kepada para pembuat kraf karena mereka juga dapat memberikan sentuhan yang berbeda kepada industri pariwisata. Dengan program ini, kami berharap tradisi kami dapat bertahan dan eksis di antara industri yang lain," kata Farah.  Puan Farah Liyana memberikan keterangan pers mengenai program Pemerintah Selangor dalam upaya melindungi dan mempromosikan industri kraf berbasis budaya di Negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan. Meskipun berdekatan dan berbatasan langsung hampir 360 derajat, Negeri Selangor memang menyimpan sumber daya alam yang berbeda dengan Kuala Lumpur. Selangor memiliki keunggulan sumber daya alam perkampungan di pedalaman dan pesisir, dan di setiap kawasan itu berkembang tradisi yang khas karena adaptasi penduduk dengan lingkungannya. Dan salah satu tradisi yang berkembang adalah kemampuan mereka untuk menciptakan kerajinan yang khas sesuai dengan ketersediaan bahan baku di sekitarnya. Meskipun demikian, Shah Alam sebagai ibukota Selangor juga berkembang dengan arah budaya kotanya. Sejumlah tujuan wisata moderen tumbuh di berbagai sudut kota itu. Salah satu yang terbaru adalah kompleks I-City yang menyediakan aneka kegiatan, koleksi, permainan, museum dan taman yang menghibur keluarga di dalam satu kompleks terpadu. Selamat datang di Selangor Darul Ehsan! (Tikwan Raya Siregar) |
| | Blog Makanan di <b>Selangor</b>: bak kut teh, <b>makanan tradisional</b> - Blog <b>...</b> Posted: 18 Aug 2014 11:40 PM PDT Pagi Ahad, 19 Januari. Hari kedua saya di Tawau. Dua panggilan Yang Dipertua PAS kawasan, Mohamad Husain, tidak sempat dijawab. Sejak awal pagi, kami agak terkejar-kejar membuat tinjauan ringkas, menyelongkar isu-isu rakyat di lapangan, yang belum didedahkan secara menyeluruh oleh media. Saya dan wartawan Arif Atan tiba agak lewat di lokasi, Pasti Nurul Hannani, Jalan Kuhara. (Rupanya Pasti di Tawau -- antara yang terbaik pengurusannya di Malaysia -- mendapat sambutan hebat ibu bapa, termasuk keluarga penyokong dan pemimpin Umno). Pengarang Berita, Wan Nordin Wan Yaacob sampai lebih awal. Majlis jamuan dan meraikan bekas tahanan ISA, bertempat sudah bermula. S aya terpaksa berhati-hati menuruni cerun di jalan masuk depan Pasti. Dua anak muda dengan sopan cuba memapah saya. Terasa macam orang tua kurang upaya! Bekas tahanan dua kali dikurung di Kamunting, Ustaz Nazri Dollah, baru memulakan ucapan, menekankan teladan unggul Rasulullah s.a.w. Saya perlu meredakan kepenatan di barisan kerusi paling belakang sebelum bersama Nazri dan Mohamad di atas pentas, Wajah jernih anak-anak kecil yang pernah berkunjung ke Pejabat Harakah menggamit perhatian saya. Begitu juga para isteri yang dulunya berwajah suram. Sekilas, saya dapat mengesan mereka kini dalam mood berbeda. Alhamdulillah. Memang kunjungan kali ini bukan lagi waktu untuk berduka atau bercerita kisah sedih. Sebaliknya tanda simbolik menguburkan akta rimba penuh kezaliman yang memisahkan keluarga pejuang. Dan turut mahu dibenamkan ialah ketakburan elit penguasa serta kesombongan pencacai, khususnya anggota Cawangan Khas (SB). "Saya kira selepas ISA dimansuhkan dua tahun lalu dan semua tahanan dibebaskan minggu lepas, maka ini mungkin kunjungan terakhir ke Tawau, ditambah pula keuzuran badan," ujar saya dalam mukadimah forum membariskan bekas tahanan berkongsi pengalaman. "Rupanya, tidak. Dan saya terlewat sampai ini pun kerana terpaksa menyusun jadual melihat sendiri banyak projek sakit dan isu-isu rakyat di Tawau, seperti penyelewengan pembinaan Sekolah Menengah Titingan, dan paling mengejutkan insiden batu besar kuari meranapkan 12 rumah di Kampung Tanjung Batu Kukusan. Dahsyat sungguh! "Insya-Allah, walaupun ISA sudah berkubur, saya dan rakan-rakan Harakah akan datang lagi ke Tawau," kata saya, disambut ketawa kecil hadirin. Seawal pagi hujung minggu itu (walaupun sudah dianggap lewat dalam kiraan jam di Sabah) kami menjejaki projek pembinaan Sek Men Kebangsaan Titingan, Tawau, yang hampir siap dan sepatutnya sudah mula beroperasi tahun lalu. Malam sebelumnya, kami dibawa menikmati juadah makanan laut yang segar dan enak, di sebuah restoran berdekatan, Sri Titingan, memaksa saya melanggar diet diabetis, jantung dan kegagalan buah pinggang. Saya perhatikan kawasan sekolah dipagar sepenuhnya. Kami ditemani Timbalan Pesuruhjaya PAS Sabah, juga Yang Dipertua PAS Kalabakan, Ahmad Dullah. Ahmad yang murah dengan senyuman dan kerap berjenaka itu seperti keberatan membenarkan saya menyelit melalui "lorong tikus". Saya terpaksa mengempiskan perut dan menahan nafas untuk meloloskan diri. "Dah jauh ke sini, haji, takkan tersekat nak masuk ke dalam, kot," saya bersuara perlahan, ketawa kecil, sambil bertongkat mengimbangi badan agar tidak tersepit. Saya lebih risaukan benda-benda tajam yang boleh melukakan dan berisiko tinggi kepada pengidap diabetik.
Memang mengejutkan. Bangunan sekolah yang menelan kos RM40 juta itu boleh dikatakan siap sepenuhnya tetapi kini terbiar sepi. Lalang hampir separas pinggang. Banyak peralatan, termasuk pendingin hawa telah dicuri. Hatta pintu dewan besar pun tanggal, lesap. Apatah lagi jeriji besi yang boleh dijual di pasaran gelap dengan mudah. Pelik bin ajaib juga memikirkan punca masalah bagaimana bangunan sekolah yang siap tidak dapat dimanfaatkan. (Tapi, bukankah tiada yang aneh di negara tercinta ini, segalanya serba mungkin dan tiada yang mustahil, 'kan?) (Gambar:Tersepit semasa menyelit melalui "lorong tikus" untuk meninjau pembinaan sekolah menengah titingan, tawau, yang menyimpan penuh misteri ... Sekolah ini sepatutnya sudah boleh digunakan tahun lepas tetapi kini naik semak samun dan dipagar rapat.) Difahamkan tiada jalan masuk ke sekolah baru ini. Soalnya, bagaimana projek boleh diluluskan tanpa dibereskan kemudahan paling asas terlebih dahulu? Mungkinkah -- untuk kesekian kali -- rasuah atau elemen seumpamanya. sepertimana pernah menyebabkan banyak lagi projek sebelum ini terbengkalai atau roboh kemudiannya, terutama di bawah Kementerian Pendidikan? Soalan-soalan itu sebenarnya tidak lagi menimbulkan tandatanya, malah sudah ada jawapan "sejak azali" lagi! Ya, pemerintahan Umno-BN tidak dapat dicerai-tanggal daripada korupsi, kronisme, salahguna kuasa atau sekurang-kurangnya pembaziran melampau. Lebih aneh lagi apabila khabarnya Putrajaya telah dimaklumkan bahawa pelajar-pelajar sudah berpindah ke sekolah baru itu. Belum lega dengan kejutan itu, kami dibawa ke sekolah tumpang, di kawasan setinggan berhampiran, yang terpaksa menampung pelajar sekolah terbengkalai tersebut. Melihat situasi di sekeliling, saya dapat membayangkan risiko tinggi yang menunggu, antaranya banjir dan kebakaran. Sementara menunggu hidangan juadah nasi Arab di majlis meraikan bekas tahanan ISA, seorang guru membisikkan kepada saya: "Bukan hanya sekolah Titingan yang terbengkalai, banyak lagi projek sakit di Tawau ini." Dia menyebut nama dua sekolah menengah itu, Kubota dan Kinabutan, yang kemudiannya kami lawati esok hari, bersama Mohamad Husain. Secara peribadi saya tidak begitu kaget dengan perkampungan setinggan atau penempatan di atas air di Tawau. Semasa di Sandakan beberapa bulan lalu, saya perhatikan situasi di sana lebih sesak dan menyedihkan. Begitu juga dengan keadaan anak-anak kecil yang berkeliaran di pasar. Saya lebih terdorong dan rasa bertanggungjawab untuk mengangkat isu kuari di Kampung Kukusan.
Melihat sendiri bongkah batu sebesar rumah, yang meranapkan 12 kediaman, cukup menggerunkan. Berdepan "lembaga" batu sebesar itu, yang jatuh bagaikan peluru selepas puncak bukit diletupkan, pada April 2013, saya bukan saja terkejut tetapi sekali gus api kemarahan memuncak. 
Bukankah aktiviti pengkuarian terpaksa melalui prosedur yang cukup ketat, khususnya daripada Jabatan Alam Sekitar, yang memerlukan laporan EIA dan persiapan kawalan risiko kecemasan yang diluluskan Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat serta pihak polis?
Bukan saja impak gegaran, bau, bunyi bising dan habuk yang diambil berat, malah prioriti paling atas adalah aspek keselamatan, bukan hanya terhad kepada manusia tetapi juga binatang. (Gambar:Nah! Inilah bongkah batu yang mengelongsor jatuh dari atas bukit di Kg Kukusan, Tawau, menghempap 11 rumah ...) Difahamkan kawasan kuari juga hendaklah dilanskap dengan tumbungan rendang yang dapat menghalang pandangan visual penduduk terdekat. Selain itu, operasi kuari hendaklah dihentikan serta merta jika terdapat sebarang aduan pencemarfan atau gegaran atau batu terbang (flyrock) daripada penduduk sekitar.
 Dan sebagai rakyat biasa, saya rasa terhina dengan sikap rakus dan memandang rendah keselamatan orang awam, konspirasi ahli perniagaan tamak bersama elit pemerintah takbur.
Sama sekali anda tidak boleh mempercayainya apabila letupan kuari sedahsyat itu, yang memuntahkan bongkah batu pejal yang masih tersergam, namun ia masih belum berjaya menghentikan operasinya. "Inilah bukti kerja jahat kapitalis rakus yang mahu mengorek segala khazanah bumi tanpa menghiraukan keselamatan orang awam," Arif Atan meluahkan rasa hati semasa kami masih berkereta menuju jalan masuk ke Kg Kukusan atau lebih popular dengan sebutan Besi Buruk. (gambar:Kg Kukusan, Tawau, 19 Januari 2013, projek peletupan batu kuari yang langsung tidak mengendahkan keselamatan orang kampung .. 11 rumah hancur dilenyek batu sebesar itu ... Dan lebih mengejutkan semasa saya berkunjung ke lokasi, masih ada gegaran kuat daripada pemecahan batu di atas bukit sana ...) "Rasuah dan korupsi akan menghanguskan segalanya," pintas saya. "Dan inilah peranan media bebas seperti Harakah. Kita harus turun selalu ke Sabah. Banyak cerita misteri yang belum kita borek tersimpan di sini," saya seakan berkhutbah. Dari bawah, saya mendengar dengan jelas gegaran di atas bukit, dan melihat kilauan pancaran cahaya daripada mesin pengorek yang terus digerakkan. Malah, seorang wanita, penduduk kampung, menunjukkan salinan pemberitahuan, bertarikh 20 Januari 2014, daripada pengurusan Kukusan Kuari Tawau bahawa "peletupan bom batu" akan dijalankan pada jam 1.30 petang, 21 Januari. Petaka apa yang masih ditunggu, bukan saja untuk menghentikan serta merta operasi kuari itu, tetapi juga untuk membentuk satu siasatan terperinci bagi mengenal pasti akar kepada kejadian ngeri yang masih menghantui penduduk itu? Selama tiga hari di Tawau, saya cukup terkesan dengan personaliti hebat rakan-rakan PAS, tidak terkecuali Muslimat, yang banyak membantu dan ringan tulang, termasuk bersama isteri saya, Siti Hawa Samsam menyediakan juadah nasi Arab untuk jamuan meraikan bekas tahanan ISA. Dan saya tentu sekali tidak dapat melupakan sosok tubuh "Uncle Jefferey", 68, atau nama sebenar Kideng ak Benang, seorang lelaki Iban yang tabah dan cekal. Ungkapan kata yang dituturkannya cukup menarik dan membekas. Beliau bijak menyusun madah dan mampu membangkitkan semangat. Bertemu mata dengannya, mencuri masa kerja beliau sebagai pengawal keselamatan selepas dipaksa meninggalkan kerjaya sebagai petani berjaya, dan berbicara tentang kemusnahan kawasan bercucuk tanam dan penempatan yang diterokainya sejak 1978, begitu menyentuh hati. Satu lagi testimoni tentang kerakusan pemerintah merampas tanah yang diusahakan titik peluh rakyat. Saya rasa terkilan kerana tidak sempat mengunjungi kampungnya bagi menyaksikan sendiri proses kezaliman yang tidak pernah terhenti. "Bukankah pelik apabila kita, manusia, sebagai makhluk Tuhan yang paling indah telah diusir lebih hina berbanding binatang. "Saya sendiri pernah katakan kepada pihak perhutanan Sabah, gajah, dan binatang liar dalam hutan kamu jaga, pelihara. Sedangkan manusia seperti kami dan sama seperti kamu juga, ciptaan Tuhan yang begitu indah, tapi tidak difikirkan hak sesama manusia, diusir tanpa memberi pilihan," ujarnya lembut tetapi nampak tegas. Jefferey seterusnya menceritakan perancangan beliau dan rakan-rakannya untuk kembali ke kawasan penempatan mereka yang telah dimusnah dan dirampas: ""Kami akan kembali ke sana 10 April ini. Setiap tahun sejak empat tahun lalu kami berdoa di sana. "Saya minta kepada Tuhan supaya Tuhan memberi kebijaksanaan, melembutkan hati mereka agar mengembalikan hak rakyat yang mereka rampas. Langkah saya tidak terhenti begitu saja. Setiap tahun kami berdoa begitu. Perjuangan kami belum selesai," tambahnya penuh yakin. Benar, saya tidak perlu menunggu lama untuk mengkagumi watak lelaki ini. Ikuti kisah menarik Jefferey, bekas ketua cawangan Umno dan seorang yang boleh dianggap bertaraf paderi, juga pelanggan tetap Harakah yang tidak pernah absen mengikuti ruangan kuliah Tok Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat dan Tok Guru Abdul Hadi Awang, dalam Harakah akan datang. | | Blog Makanan di <b>Selangor</b>: *bak kut teh, <b>makanan tradisional</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 15 Aug 2014 11:30 PM PDT as salam, sedang aku menunggu si anak dara menghabiskan aktiviti kolaj dia masa perasmian PPAS ritu..... aku bacalah buku2 yang ada kat library tu kan, sambil tambah ilmu pengetahuan am..... so, aku tertariklah dengan satu buku ni..... pasal negeri Selangor, maklum, dah jadi penduduk sini kenalah ambil tau pasal negeri ni kan..... hehe buku Selangor ada sejarah, nama2 pemerintah, senarai daerah, pakaian tradisi, kaum dan paling aku tertarik adalah pasal makanan tradisional dia..... ye lah, mana tau kan, lepas ni aku diletakkan di bawah ajk demo masak pulak kan, so adalah info yang aku boleh share..... haha so, dalam buku ni, info pasal makanan tradisional negeri Selangor yang aku dapat adalah..... v v v v v v v v v v Bak Kut Teh adalah makanan tradisional negeri Selangor ooooo baru aku tau..... selain dari tu, ada la jugak Rojak Klang, Sate, Cendol, Mi Jawa..... tetiba teringat sate kat stadium Selayang..... dah tinggal 4 cucuk baru ingat nak snap pic..... betapa sedapnya sate tu kan.....
