The 28th October storm in other news

Mini twister blows through Perlis town
By FLORENCE A. SAMY
newsdesk@thestar.com.my



PETALING JAYA: These two pictures captured by The Star reader Ng Hock Hoo show a mini twister sweeping through Mata Air, Jejawi, Perlis.

Roofs were blown off while signboards were uprooted and houses damaged during the incident, which took place on Thursday evening. A van was also overturned.

Ng, an assistant maintenance manager in his 40s, captured the images while driving from Mata Air to his home in Arau.

“I have seen something similar before but never this close. I have also never seen this kind of damage before.

“It happened just before a heavy rain and thunderstorm. The ‘twister’ started moving a few kilometres ahead of me and caused a lot of damage and a traffic jam,” he said yesterday.

A Meteorological Department forecast officer said an intense thunderstorm could create very strong winds.

“There will be an up-and-down draft if there is a strong thunderstorm cell. There can be very strong winds when a thunderstorm is forming,” the officer said.

However, it was not a twister or tornado since it was small with low magnitude, the officer said.

His counterpart in George Town said that it was an isolated incident, reports FONG KEE SOON.

“Our radars in Butterworth and Bayan Lepas did not detect any unusual cloud formations or strong winds associated with cyclones over the last two days,” he said, adding that the department would study the video recording of the phenomenon to determine the causes.

Bernama reported that the gale damaged more than 50 houses, foodstalls and motor workshops in Jejawi, near Kangar. The van, belonging to a security firm, was at a workshop.

No one was reported injured in the 6pm incident, according to Perlis Welfare Committee chairman Mansor Jusoh.

Rohana Abdul Rahman, 52, said she was alone at home when she felt the house move.

“All of a sudden, the front door gave way and the roof blew off,” said Rohana, who lives with her husband and daughter Raja Raine Shasha Raja Shariman, 30, who works at Universiti Malaysia Perlis.

Mansor said the gale caused damage estimated at more than RM100,000 but the actual amount was expected to be known after a welfare department census.

He said a relief centre was opened last night but the victims preferred to stay with relatives.

He said Baitulmal Perlis and the Perlis Human Development Unit would help the victims repair their houses.

The Yayasan Pok dan Kassim provided RM100 and rice to each of the victims.

Welcome to Perlis

Kuala Perlis

(The article below is copied from http://perlisinfo.blogspot.com/- where you can see more beautiful picture of Perlis there)




Perlis, Malaysia
Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia. The state is famous for its serene unspoilt beauty, rustic rural scenes and verdant paddy fields. The expanse of verdant paddy fields makes the landscape appear like a huge canvas of brilliant green or gold, depending on the season.


History
Perlis was originally a part of the older kingdom of Kedah, which was conquered by Thailand in 1821. After restoration of the Sultan of Kedah to his throne in 1842, the Thais established Perlis as a vassal state.

In 1909 the Thais transferred suzerainty of Perlis from Thailand to Britain. Perlis came under Japanese occupation in 1941 during Second World War. Once the Japanese withdrew from Malaya, Perlis was placed under the British Military Administration.

In October 1945, the British laid out the plans for Malayan Union. Under the scheme, Pulau Pinang, Melaka and nine other Malay states were to be united under the Malayan Union. Malays opposition to the British plans to form the Malayan Union catalysed the movement for Independence. The Malay Federation was founded on 1 February 1948 and on 31 August 1957, Malaya achieved Independence.

Climate
Perlis has a tropical monsoon climate and the temperature is uniform in the range of 21 degrees C to 32 degrees C, while the weather is generally dry and warm with humidity in the lowlands ranging from 82% to 86%. The state's average annual rainfall is around 2500 mm with the wettest months being from May to December.

Best Time to Visit
Though you can visit Perlis all round the year, but it is better to avoid visiting Perlis during the wettest months i.e. from May to December.


Tourist Attractions/Places to See

Gua Kelam (Dark Caves): Located about 26 km from Kangar, the Gua Kelam traverse approximately 37 meters of limestone hills from Kaki Bukit on the Malaysian border to Wang Kelian near the Thai border. The caves were at one time used as a trading route between the locals and the Siamese.


Padang Besar: Padang Besar, is a border market on the Malaysia-Thailand border. It is a shopper's haunt for Malaysians seeking good bargains. Electrical items, leather goods and clothes are some of the favorite buys here.


Kuala Perlis: Located at the estuarine delta of the Sungai Perlis, Kuala Perlis is noted for its excellent laksa, a dish of rice noodles dipped in spiced fish-soup with sliced onions and cucumber. It is also the entry and exit point to Phuket Island and other coastal towns and villages of Southern Thailand, as well as to Pulau Langkawi.

Taman Herba
The Herb Gardens is located close to the Bukit Air Recreational Park. A large variety of herbs, spices and traditional plants, numbering over a 1000 species, are grown here. Visitors can see them, learn about their medical application and watch how they are cultivated in this park.

Kota Kayang Museum
This museum is located between Kuala Perlis and Kangar. The museum traces the history of Kedah’s Sultanate, which had close links to the formation of Perlis. Some of the things you can find here include money, artefacts, weapons and ornaments from the old Malay era.
