(2) ..., at the age of six. The school opened her eyes to Western ideals. During this time, Kartini
also took sewing lessons from another regent’s wife, Mrs. Marie Ovink-Soer. Ovink-Soer imparted
her feminist views to Kartini, and was therefore instrumental in planting the seed for Kartini’s later
activism.
When Kartini reached adolescence, (3) ... dictated that she leave her Dutch school for the
sheltered existence deemed appropriate to a young female noble. Kartini wrote letters to Ovink-Soer
and her Dutch schoolmates, protesting (4) ... of Javanese traditions such as forced marriages at a
young age, which denied women the freedom to pursue an education. Ironically, in her eagerness
to escape her isolation, Kartini was quick to accept (5) ... arranged by her father. On November
8, 1903, she wed Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat (The Regent of Rembang). At that time, Adipati
Joyodiningrat was twenty six years older than Kartini, and already had three wives and twelve
children. Kartini had recently been offered (6) ... to study abroad, and the marriage dashed her
hopes of accepting it.

Intent on spreading her feminist message, with her new husband’s approval, Kartini soon
set about planning to start her own school for Javanese girls. In 1903, by helping from the Dutch
government, she opened the first Indonesian primary school for (7) ... that did not discriminate
on the basis of their social status. The school was set up inside her father’s home, and taught
girls a progressive, Western-based curriculum. To Kartini, the ideal education for a young
woman encouraged empowerment and enlightenment. She also promoted their (8) ... pursuit of
education. To that end, Kartini regularly corresponded with feminist Stella Zeehandelaar as well
as numerous Dutch officials with the authority to further the cause of (9) ... from oppressive laws
and traditions. Her letters also expressed her Javanese nationalist sentiments.
Kartini died in the Regency of Rembang, Java on September 17, 1904. She died because

correspondents, Jacques H. Abendanon, published a collection of (10) ..., entitled “From Darkness

1928 was named Walt Disney Productions. Soon, Disney began creating memorable characters
like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. In 1929, Disney produced Steamboat Willie, a silent film which
included the timeless Mickey Mouse. Mickey would soon become the most popular animated
character on screen, and Disney productions produced the first animated movies in color. Donald
Duck, Pluto, and Goofy were created after Disney received an Academy Award in 1935. Three
years later, Disney produced the first full-length animated movie, Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, followed by Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi. After World War II, Alice in Wonderland and
Peter Pan were made into animated movies. In 1955, Disney produced The Mickey Mouse Club,
the company’s first regular TV show. On July 17, 1955, Disney opened Disneyland in California,
which was followed by Disney World in Orlando, Florida, in 1971, eight years after his death. In
1982, Disney opened Epcot Center near Disney World in Orlando. Today, Disney is the world’s
leading producer of family entertainment—a multibillion dollar empire that owns production
studios, theme parks, scores of hotels, record labels, and cable television networks.

The following text for questions number 1 to 3.
Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg Austria on January 27, 1756. He was one
of the most influential, popular and prolific composers of the classical period. He composed more
than six hundreds works, including some of the most famous and loved pieces of symphonic,
chamber, operatic, and choral music.

10 Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013)


Mozart showed all the signs of a prodigious musical talent from an early age. It was started
from the age of five he could read and write music, and he would entertain people with his talents
on the keyboard. By the age of six, he was writing his first compositions. Mozart was generally
considered to be a rare musical genius, though Mozart said that he was diligent in studying other
great composers such as Haydn and Bach.
During his childhood, he would frequently tour various palaces around Europe playing for
distinguished guests. Then, he accepted a post as a court musician in Salzburg at the age of
seventeen. Although this did not suit him very well, the next few years were a time of prolific
composition. After that, he moved permanently to Vienna in 1781. Here, he became well known
and was often in demand as a composer and performer. However, despite his relative fame
and renown he struggled to manage his finances and moved between periods of poverty and
prosperity. This difficulty was enhanced when, in 1786, Austria was involved in a war which led
to lower demand for musicians. In 1782, he married against the wishes of his family; he had 6
children but only 2 survived infancy.
The work of Mozart is epic in scope and proportion. There were few branches of Mozart music
did not touch. He composed operas, symphonies, concertos, and single pieces for the piano. His
work spanned from joyful lighthearted pieces to powerful, challenging compositions which touched
the human emotions. In the beginning of his career, Mozart had a powerful ability to learn and
remember from the music he heard from others. He was able to incorporate the style and music
of people such as Haydn and J.C. Bach. But, as he matured he developed his very own style and
interpretations. In turn the music of Mozart very much influenced the early Beethoven. Mozart
was brought up a Roman Catholic and remained a member of the church throughout his life.
Questions:
1. What can we conclude from Mozart’s life?
Answer: ........................................................................................................................................
2. What inspiration you can get from Mozart?
Answer: ........................................................................................................................................
3. Mention Mozart’s achievement based on the text above?

Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013) 15


In 1811 her brother Joseph Anning discovered the skull of an ichthyosaurus. In 1812 Mary Anning
found the rest of its skeleton. They sold it to the lord of the manor. He in turn sold it to a collector called
William Bullock. The new reptile was first called ichthyosaurus in 1817. The family were struggling
financially but in 1820 a man named Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas James Birch auctioned the fossils
he had bought from them and generously gave them the money raised, which helped them greatly.
Mary Anning continued to collect fossils and in 1823 she found the first complete plesiosaurus.
Then in 1828 Mary found the first British fossil pterodactylus. In 1829 she found a fossil fish
called Squaloraja. Meanwhile Mary Anning had become famous and her fossil hunting business
thrived. In 1830 she discovered a new species of plesiosaurus which she sold for 200 guineas
(a guinea was a gold coin). Her mother died in 1842 Sadly Mary Anning died of breast cancer
on March 9, 1847. She was buried in St Michael’s church in Lyme Regis on March 15, 1847. A
stained glass window in memory of Mary Anning was unveiled in 1850.

Many people think that they can get sick by going into cold weather improperly dressed;
however, illnesses are not caused by temperature- they are caused by germs. So while shivering
outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen your immune system, you’re more likely to contract
an illness indoors because you will have a greater exposure to germs.

Hurricanes generally occur in the North Atlantic from May through November, with the peak
of the hurricane season in September, only rarely will they occur from December through April in

are powerful enough to be called hurricanes. To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical storm
must have winds reaching speds of at least 117 kilometers per hour, but the winds are often much

Read the following text and answer the questions.
We always depend on the internet nowadays. We have to admit that using the internet makes
our work easier. Having the internet is like opening a gate to all the information and knowledge
that we need, without any boundaries. Despite all the positive effects it brings, accessing the
internet for a long time every day has some consequences for the user.
First of all, we as a users can be addicted to the internet. Since the internet provides all the
information that we need, we often search for every single thing on the internet. Not only that,
the internet also gives us access to entertainment, such as YouTube or social media, Therefore
we often do not recognize that we have spent a lot of time only browsing the internet. Moreover,
we are often busy with our gadgets, rather than talking with the people around us, due to the
ease of access to internet.
Secondly, bullying has increased as a result of internet development. These days it is
easy to hide behind the keyboard and say mean things to the person you don’t like, since it will
be anonymous. Thus there are numerous cases of bullying on the internet. Lastly, of course,
accessing too much internet can affect your health. Our eyes get exposed to the screen for a
long time and as a result, a lot of people suffer from sight problems.
All in all, it is true that the internet makes our life easier. However, we have to be smart users
in order to prevent negative impacts on us.

B. Cause and Effect Sentence


1. Cause Effect Conjunction
Sentence connectors improve your writing. They add variety and sophistication to your
style of writing. In English, we use several different words to show cause and effect. Examples
are: for, because, as, since, therefore, hence, as a result, consequently, due to, because of,
as a result of et cetera.
a. Because
Because is a conjunction which shows cause and effect relationship. Because introduces
an adverb clause. It is followed by a subject and a verb. It is usually used when the reason
is the most important part of the sentence.
Look at the examples below:
Combination1: Rasya passed the final examination because she studied hard.
Combination 2: Because Rasya studied hard, she passed the final examination.
b. As and since
As and since are conjunctions. Yet on the certain situation, they have same meaning
with because to show cause and effect. As and since are used when the reason is already
understood or is less important than the rest of the sentence.
c. For
For that we will discuss here means because. For suggests that the reason is given as
an afterthought. And we have to note first that For-Clause never comes at the beginning
of the sentence.
d. Now That
Now that means because now. It is used for present and future situations. Now that-
clause never come after sentence, it mostly comes at the beginning.
Look at the other examples below:
1) Now that it is raining, you have to wear this raincoat.
2) Now that the day is sunny, It will be better own bring this umbrella.

Read the following text is for questions number 1 to 5.
Oversleeping
Experts recommend you should get around 7 to 9 hours sleep per night. But what if you get more than
that? Does anything happen to you? Can getting too much sleep ever become a real issue? One of the
main cause of oversleeping is lack of sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep during the night, varying
from person to person, you’ll find it hard if not virtually impossible to get up in the morning.
Lack of sleep can be caused by poor quality sleep, not getting enough hours sleep or having
an abnormal need for sleep. If you haven’t had enough sleep, you wouldn’t have paid off all your
“sleep debt” and so must put in more hours of sleep to pay it off.
Sleeping in because of a lack of sleep isn’t really oversleeping. It just appears that way.
Teenagers need more sleep when going through puberty. So while it might seem like they’re
oversleeping, they’re only getting the sleep they need.
But if you regularly sleep more 9 hours as an adult or 10 as a teenager, it’s fair to say you’re
oversleeping.

28 Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013)


Surprisingly, getting too much sleep comes with a whole host of negative side effects, both
physically and psychologically.
Here’s a list of the many physical effects that can be linked to oversleeping:
a. Putting on weight – Your body can’t make good use of the energy gained from food when
you’re sleeping so it’s forced store it as fat. The longer you sleep, the less energy you’ll
need. This can be made worse if you have a big meal late in the evening. If you don’t give
your body chance to burn it off, it’s forced to store it as fat.
b. Headaches – Really common! It’s believed to caused by the effect that too much REM sleep
has on the neurotransmitters in the brain. REM occurs more during the later stages of sleep,
just before you wake up. So the more you sleep in, the more REM sleep you’ll receive.
Dehydration can also be a factor.
c. Back pain – Unless you’ve got one of those funky memory foam mattresses, laying in bed for
too long will eventually lead to back pain. Plus, people prone to back pain are encouraged
to keep active and obviously you’re not keeping active if you’re in bed!
d. Heart disease – Research shows a link between people who sleep 9 to 11 hours per night
and a 38% increased chance of coronary heart disease. The reason for this link is not fully
understood, but it could be linked the increased risk of obesity from oversleeping.

Knowledge Insert
Report presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an audience. It is typically a
demonstration, lecture, or speech meant to inform, persuade, or build good will. The term can
also be used for a formal or ritualized introduction or offering, as with the presentation of a
debutante. A presentation is a means of communication that can be adapted to various speaking
situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. A presentation
can also be used as a broad term that encompasses other ‘speaking engagements’ such as
making a speech at a wedding, or getting a point across in a video conference.

Read the following text and answer the questions.
Good morning, everyone.
Today. I’ll present a report on my project about the effects of adding a menu to a restaurant.
Let’s start with the aim. The purpose of this research is to find out the efficiency of adding a
new menu in a restaurant to the sales. I choose this research since my father has a restaurant
and I want to help improve the restaurant.
Next, let me tell you about how the methodology. The data of this research were collected using
two methods; by observation and interviews. The observation was done to know how many customers
ordered the new menu and the interview was done to get customers’ opinions on the new menu.
Now, I’d like to discuss about the findings. From the date, I found that the new menu received
positive feed backs from the costumers. It was shown from the sales and positive responses
from the customers.
In conclusion, the new menu offered by the restaurant is welcomed by most of costumers which
results in more costumers coming into the restaurant and increasing sales of the restaurant.
I think that’s enough brief explanation for my report. Thank you.

Lab Report Writing
Entitled Transpiration
Introduction
Transpiration is the evaporation of water particles from plant surfaces, especially from the
surface openings, or stomates, on leaves. Stomatal transpiration accounts for most of the water
loss by a plant.
The amount of water given off depends somewhat upon how much water the roots of the
plant have absorbed. It is also depends upon such environmental conditions as sunlight, humidity,
winds and temperature.
Transpiration occurs as the sun warms the water inside the blade. The warming changes
much of the water into water vapor. This gas then escapes through the stomata. Transpiration
helps cool the inside of the leaf because the escaping vapor has absorbed heat.
Materials and Methods
The 1,000 milliliters flask should be fitted with a three hole rubber stopper, separatory funnel
and a measuring pipet.
Take a plant shoot and cut in a sink under running water. Remove the shoot from the water
and place the stem through the hole in the stopper and allow one inch of the stem to go into the
water in the flask.
Move the apparatus to the fume hood and measure every two minutes for 30 minutes.
Place a plastic bag over the leafy part of the shoot and fasten it with a rubber band. Measure
this for an additional ten minutes.
Results and Discussion
This experiment was conducted to show how different effects such as wind or temperature
affect transpiration. The results of transpiration under normal room conditions on the plant showed
the fastest rate transpiration. This faster rate showed that the temperature had the greatest effect
on the pea plant leaves. This also indicated by the control group.
The next effect on transpiration came from the wind factor present in the fume. The rate of
water loss and demand was 0.45 centimeters. This proved that plants do lose water when outside
conditions change such as in the presence of windy conditions.
Table
Time Measurement Amount of Change
12:13 pm 1.5 cm -
12:15 pm 1.75 cm 0.25 cm
12:17 pm 2.0 cm 0.25 cm
12:19 pm 2.25 cm 0.25 cm
12:21 pm 2.25 cm -
12:23 pm 2.45 cm 0.20 cm
Conclusion
A shoot placed in the hole in the rubber stopper and inserted into coloured water in the flask.
As the plant takes up water, air moves into the pipette. Under set conditions the measurements
were made on the volume and the rate at which water was transpired by following the movement
of the interface between the water and air in the pipette.

Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013) 49


Once the shoot was removed the rate of water uptake was greatly increased to 1.5 centimeters.
This was a new rate of water uptake. The fact that the equilibrium rate of the plant freed from its
roots was higher shows that the roots were unable to take up water as rapidly as the shoot was
capable of transpiring it.

The following text is for questions number 1 to 5.
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe near Grantham in Lincolnshire, England on January
4. 1643. His father died before he was born and in 1645 his mother married a clergyman from
North Welham in Leicestershire. She went to live with him while Isaac Newton lived with his
grandmother. His mother returned to Woolsthorpe in 1656 when her second husband died and
Isaac Newton went to live with her again.
From the age of 12 to 14 Isaac Newton went to Grantham Grammar School. During this time
he lodged with an apothecary and his family. Then in 1659 Isaac had to leave to help his mother
on the family farm. Isaac was not in the slightest bit interested in running a farm and in 1660 he
went to the grammar school again. In 1661 he went to Trinity College Cambridge. Isaac Newton
obtained a BA in 1665. In 1666 Isaac Newton was forced to flee Cambridge because of an outbreak
of the plague and he returned temporarily to Woolsthorpe. He returned to university in 1667.
In 1667 Isaac Newton was elected a fellow of Trinity College. The same year he was elected
a member of the Royal Society. In February 1672 a paper he wrote about light and colours was
read to the society. In 1669 Isaac Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics. In the
meantime, in 1668, he invented a reflecting telescope. In 1689-1690 Isaac Newton was MP for
Cambridge University (in those days Cambridge University had its own MPs). He became an
MP again in 1701-1702 but he did not take an active part in politics.
Isaac Newton published his masterpiece Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in
1687. It set out his theory of gravity and his laws of motion. In 1695 Isaac Newton was made
Ward of the mint and in 1699 Master of the mint. He resigned his fellowship and professorship
at Cambridge in 1701.
In 1703 Isaac Newton became president of the Royal Society. He was knighted in 1705.
Meanwhile in 1704 Isaac Newton published another great work about light.

Job Vacancy
A job vacancy is defined as a paid post that is newly created, unoccupied, or about to
become vacant:
(a) for which the employer is taking active steps and is prepared to take further steps to find a
suitable candidate from outside the enterprise concerned; and
(b) which the employer intends to fill either immediately or within a specific period of time.
A vacant post that is only open to internal candidates is not treated as a ‘job vacancy’, whereas
vacancies from temporary work agencies are counted in the business sector where the vacancy
is, not in the agency.

A. Expressing Obligation
Obligation is the state of being obligated to do or pay something. We can express obligation

speaker or the listener. It can be seen at the following examples.
a. I must clean my room everyday. (directed at the speaker).
b. You must keep this important secret. (directed at the listener)
2. Have to
“Have to” expresses obligation which comes from outside of the speaker. These may be
rules and regulations. Look at the following examples.
a. I have to water the flowers everyday.
b. We have to wear school uniform at school.

examples, as follow.

Singapore’s Universal Studios Deploys Facial Recognition for Entry
Visitors to Universal Studios in Singapore will now have to pass through facial recognition
scanners to enter the park, in the city-state’s latest foray with a technology that has stoked privacy
concerns. Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which owns the sprawling area of tourist attractions,
hotels and restaurants in which the park sits, said the scheme which started this month would
help smooth access for guests.
“Facial recognition provides contactless verification of tickets and ticket holders, enabling our
customers to enjoy our park experience in a more efficient and seamless manner,” RWS said in
an emailed statement. Usage of facial recognition technology - which allows firms or authorities
to match people picked up on cameras with those on databases - has risen globally in recent
years, stirring worries about surveillance and how data collected will be used.
Digitally-connected Singapore has embarked on many projects that use the technology, including
an ambitious scheme to put cameras on lamp-posts linked to facial recognition software.
Annual and season ticket holders of Singapore’s Universal Studios no longer need physical
passes, while guests using day passes will still need tickets for entry but can then exit and re-
enter just using their facial image.
Facial recognition is an “essential” part of admission and is used for “operational improvement,
safety and security”, according to RWS, which last month axed staff as the COVID-19 pandemic
batters Singapore’s tourism industry.
RWS said it had implemented stringent security measures to safeguard guest information
such as storing it on encrypted servers. It declined comment on which company was providing
the facial recognition technology.
China’s Universal Studios theme park due to open in Beijing next year also plans to use
facial recognition technology, according to media reports.

What Makes a Story Newsworthy?
There is a list of five factors which are considered when deciding if a story is newsworthy, as
follow.
1. Timing
The word news means exactly that - things which are new. Topics which are current are
good news. Consumers are used to receiving the latest updates, and there is so much news
about that old news is quickly discarded.
2. Significance
The number of people affected by the story is important. A plane crash in which hundreds
of people died is more significant than a crash killing a dozen.
3. Proximity
Stories which happen near to us have more significance. The closer the story to home, the
more newsworthy it is. For someone living in France, a major plane crash in the USA has
a similar news value to a small plane crash near Paris.
4. Prominence
Famous people get more coverage just because they are famous.
5. Human Interest
Human interest stories are a bit of a special case. They often disregard the main rules of
newsworthiness; for example, they don’t date as quickly, they need not affect a large number
of people, and it may not matter where in the world the story takes place.

BlackBerry, Amazon Team Up on Smart Car Software Platform
BlackBerry and Amazon on Tuesday announced an alliance to create a cloud computing
platform that cars could link to for services and insights based on data from vehicles and
users.
Word of plans for an Intelligent Vehicle Data Platform called “IVY” synching cars wirelessly
to computing power at Amazon Web Services caused shares in Canada-based company to rev
more than 50 percent to nearly nine dollars.

Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013) 93


“BlackBerry and AWS share a common vision to provide automakers and developers with
better insights so that they can deliver new services to consumers,” BlackBerry chief executive
John Chen said in a joint release.
IVY is intended to be a cloud-connected software platform that could be used by any car
maker to analyze sensor data in real-time and give drivers useful information.
Modern cars and trucks are built with thousands of parts from an array of suppliers, typically
with proprietary hardware and software involved, the companies noted.
The vision is for the platform to quickly make sense of all that data for drivers, while also
serving as a platform for additional apps or services from developers.
Car makers have “almost zero software skills,” and IVY promises to be a secure, cost-
effective platform for them to tap into cloud computing power, Global Equities Research analyst
Trip Chowdhry said in a note to investors.
The jointly operated software will run on car or truck systems, but will be managed remotely
from the cloud, according to Amazon.
Examples of potential capabilities included IVY spotting dangerous road conditions such as
ice or heavy traffic and prompt drivers to take safety measures.
Drivers of electric vehicles could share battery information with charging networks to reserve
charging slots along routes, and parents could get sensor data regarding their teen-agers’ driving,
the companies said,
AWS and BlackBerry are making it possible for any automaker to continuously reinvent the
customer experience and transform vehicles from fixed pieces of technology into systems that can
grow and adapt with a users needs and preferences,” said  AWS chief executive Andy Jassy.
BlackBerry has shifted gears to concentrate on software and services since being dethroned
in the mobile phone market more than a decade ago by touchscreen phones powered by Apple
or Android software.
The BlackBerry keyboard is to live on in a new 5G smartphone planned for release next year
from Texas-based OnwardMobility.

Several Things to Do if You Visit Toronto, Canada
There are several must-have experiences that you should do if you visit Toronto, Canada.
If you visit Toronto Canada, do the following things.
1. CN Tower’s Edge Walk
If you come to Toronto city, it will give you the opportunity to break records by completing
the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft wide ledge encircling the top of the
CN Tower’s main pod, which is 356m/1168 ft (116 storeys) above the ground.
If you also have a few spare hours and you’re in the area, make sure you walk across to
Ripley’s Aquarium which is located next to the CN Tower entrance. With over 16,000 aquatic
animals, there’s plenty to see and do whatever your age.
2. Toronto Heli Tours
If you don’t fancy dangling yourself off the edge off a ridiculously tall building anytime
soon, you can also see Toronto from 2,000 feet up in a helicopter.
The city has recently started offering people the chance to do the Heli Tour, which shows
you all off the best landmarks downtown, as well as giving you the chance to go right up to
the Edge Walk and give all the thrill seekers a little wave if you feel the need.

96 Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013)


If you’re not quite brave enough to do the Edge Walk, definitely give this one a whirl –
you won’t regret it.
3. Dundas Square
Dundas Square is one of the most touristy areas in the city, but it’s also one of the
areas that you’re most likely to recognize from the big screen. With Dundas Square being
incredibly similar to New York’s Times Square, it is very often used for blockbuster movies
because it’s a lot easier to film in.
In fact, not only has the Square been used as a major location, but the whole of Toronto can
very often be seen in big budget films. The Incredible Hulk, Total Recall, Hairspray, Robocop
and Suicide Squad are all examples.
If you fancy grabbing a bite to eat while in the area, make sure you check out Lena Restaurante,
which is an Argentinean eatery that offers an array of small plates which are perfect to share.

Malaysia’s Malay Enclave of Kampung Baru Inches Closer to Redevelopment
After decades of stalemate, the Pakatan Harapan government is inching closer to redeveloping
Kuala Lumpur’s biggest Malay enclave of Kampung Baru, after it raised its offer to RM1,000
(S$331) per square feet to landowners last year.
Federal Territories Minister Khalid Samad said he is optimistic that a plan to modernise the
120-year-old village, comprising old village houses and ageing apartments, will be finalised by
June this year based on feedback obtained from landowners.
The Kampung Bharu Development Corp, a government agency which develops, coordinates and
regulates development in the area, had held meetings with landowners to discuss issues, he said.
“These meetings have been held since early last month and we have met nearly 50 per cent
of the 5,374 landowners in Kampung Baru,” Mr Khalid said.
“From the total, 97 per cent said they are ready to sell their lots to pave the way for the
Kampung Baru Development Plan and Insya Allah (God willing), we will finalise it in the next six
months,” he told reporters on Sunday.

Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013) 103


Kampung Baru landowner Mohd Farid Rahmat, who owns a portion of his house along with
10 other cousins, is holding out from selling as it is simply not profitable enough for him and he
likes staying in the city. “I just don’t want to sell it,” he told The Straits Times.
Under the master plan drawn up by the government, once approved by the enclave’s residents,
the government will take over the area and build tall residential and office blocks along with
modern commercial buildings and upgraded infrastructure on the sprawling 90ha site, slightly
larger than Singapore’s Botanic Gardens.
The Straits Times understands that the government is hoping to obtain at least 80 per cent
approval from the 5,374 landowners in order to go ahead with rebuilding the area involved.
Landowners who take up the offer will be paid RM850 per sq feet in cash, while the remaining
RM150 will be in the form of shares in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to be set up.
They are also promised a 15 per cent discount on properties in the new development, should
they agree to buy these.
This time around, the government hopes that the offer is sweet enough for a breakthrough
and will enable it to modernise the area, which is dwarfed by swanky condominiums and gleaming
office towers just across the narrow Klang River.
Multiple ownership of individual lots have thwarted previous attempts to revamp the village.
Not only is there difficulty in getting consent from landowners, the situation is further
compounded by Muslim inheritance laws that split the parcels into smaller plots, with many
beneficiaries. Some of the lots can have up to 100 heirs.
The issue is also a highly emotive one, as the village is historically significant, being the site
for many political events and rallies.

The shortage of battery life of smart phone and tablet
One of big problems that is faced by smart phone and tablet users is the shortage of battery
life. If you activate a lot of application at the same time, your battery will drain easily. When you
have internet connection, your smart phone will automatically update applications. The updating
process needs a lot of energy and it will also drain your battery. So, stop the constant flow of
notifications and updates from Facebook, whats up, Line, twitter, email, games, and other sites,
if you want to improve the battery life.
There are several ways to stop some applications in smart phones or tablets. If you want
to stop email updates in iOS 7, you can switch your email settings from “push” to “fetch”. From
there, you have to change the mail settings to “fetch”. if you’re getting buried in Candy Crush
updates, turn off these notifications to save juice. You can go to “Settings” and select “Notification
Centre”. From there, you have to find the include section and choose which notifications you want
to turn off. On Androids, you have to turn off notifications in the settings menu for each individual
application. If you want to turn off notifications for email or social media, you can still check the
manually.

Re: Private Chef I Advertised on New York Times

Dear Mr. Frazier,


I was intrigued by the private chef opening posted on New YorkTimes, and I am very interested
in discussing this opportunity.
Classically trained at the renowned National Hospitality and Culinary institute, I earned an
AOS in culinary arts and mentored under celebrity chef Bill Jones as a Sous Chef for three years.
Following this experience, I held executive chef positions within 4-star restaurants for a leading
hospitality group, and spent the past two years as a chef on luxury yachts.

110 Bahasa Inggris XII SMK/MAK (Kurikulum 2013)


Whether preparing a small intimate dinner or a 7-course affair for 250+, I take pride in
delighting clients with delicious meals prepared to the highest standards. My mission is to exceed
customer expectations, and I have earned a reputation for doing precisely that throughout my
career.
Well versed in preparing ethnic cuisine (e.g., Italian, Asian, Indian, Greek, Mexican, French,
and Caribbean) using the freshest ingredients, I also enjoy creating unique dishes that blend
unexpected flavor combinations. In addition, I am experienced in meeting special dietary needs and
requests, including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, low-calorie, low-carb, and dairy-free meals.
It would be a pleasure to prepare sample dishes for you and your team to give you a “taste”
of my culinary style. Please call me at (123) 467-5559 to set this up. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
John Martin
