Assalamualaikum wbt...
For the last 3 days I have been eating luxury food and enjoying the company of my colleague and my friends from the work field. A seminar on the Road & Highways: Optimising services for the customers organized by 'The World Road Association (PIARC) which is a non-political and non-profit making association' was held in The Royale Chulan Hotel from 25 April 2011 to 27 April 2011.
Basically the it was a conference where engineers and experts from all over the world presented their technical papers and shared their thoughts on how to make the roads, highways and the system runs smoothly and also to decreased the congestion level. Apparently, after listening and going through all the presentation, it is safe to say that Malaysia is not that behind in terms of technology.
Among others, Multi Lane Free Flow(MLFF) is one of the system that shall take place in Malaysia by the end of this year. Basically, MLFF is the replacement for all the toll booths in Malaysia. This system has been been fully utilized in other countries such Australia and Greece. Look it up, you'll find it very fascinating. You do not have to queue to pay for the toll. The system will detect your device using microwave instead of infra-red which is been used rite now for smart tag. The idea is to avoid congestion at the toll plaza as it is right now.
On the last day of the conference, I went to a technical visit to PLUS and Proton Holdings Berhad. Little that I know, to produce a car you need RM650mils!!! OMG!!! huhu other than that, you need at least 2mins to produce a car..hehe cepat kan??? canggih gilerrr...hehe As promised by proton, by the mid of next year, there will be a new model coming out. Watch out for that la eh...especially for those yg nak saving.. coz, they said that the car will be using a different technology that is EV (Electronic Vehicle). 0% fuel consumption hokkey!!! hehe
Okla... that is all for today..Overall, the seminar/conference was a success.. there were good food, good ideas, good presentations and of course good company!!
Ok.. Bye!
