Say Hello to the Holiday Season

Dear Member,As we enter the final quarter of the year, let’s take time to enjoy ourselves and reward ourselves for a year full of achievements and effort.

This issue, we’re proud to feature Jungle Staycations Around Malaysia, since our beloved country is full of rainforests by nature. Read on to see where you can go and what you can do amidst the lush tropical forests and sunny beaches of our beautiful land. You’ll be surprised by how much Malaysia has to offer, right in our own backyard. In line with the jungle staycation theme, we also feature a review at survival camping gear that you’ll need to survive and thrive in the wild – as a modern wilderness adventurer.

Closer to the modern lifestyle, we continue our series on futuristic transportation technologies emerging in our present day, with a look at every kid’s dream – flying vehicles! Think you’d like to have one of your own? Take a look at our article inside.

For the sporting and fitness conscious, we take a light-hearted look at some of the Olympic Games’ unbelievable sports of years past. Hint – did you know animals were once involved in the Olympics? We also talk about the importance of going organic when you go to the grocery store – and how to make sure you’re doing it correctly.

Finally, as we close the year, let’s look at the news and happenings of past events at all of our clubs, as well as what new excitements are in store for you, your family and your guests. Enjoy your read, and we’ll see you at the club!

Yours faithfully,

Khor Poh WaaDirector of Berjaya Clubs

06Cover Story

Malaysia may seem exotic to those visiting the beautiful country, but it’s easy to let all of the natural wonders fade into the background when you live there already. For your next vacation, why not take a staycation in our own backyard (or maybe just a bit farther than that).

The lush greenery of the rainforest is such an amazing contrast to the rush of urban life, that you may feel as though you took a 14-hour plane ride to another world. Become more familiar with the splendour of our country as you relax and unwind. Use the following tips on where to go and which venues to stay in for a more memorable trip.

Just an hour and a half away from Kuala Lumpur, you’ll find Green Retreat Under Starry Skies with a luxury spin on basic accommodations. This venue respects both the environment and its clientele in a number of creative ways. Guests get a bed, a breakfast, and sports equipment to turn their jungle staycation into an exciting adventure. Guests get up to 3 free bicycles so they can get out and explore, as well as floats and life jackets to go out tubing whenever the mood strikes. Guests also

enjoy a shared communal area, where they can cook or grill. You’ll find utensils, a kettle, a rice maker, and a water dispenser to create your own gourmet feast under the stars.

Practically everyone loved treehouses as a kid, so why not stay in one made just for grownups? If you stay at

The Treehouse Project (Gunung Pulai, Johor)

The Treehouse Project, your room is so far up that it will take you at least ten minutes of climbing to get to the top. Once you’re up there, you’ll find a full bathroom, bedding, electrical outlets, and mosquito nets. Get back to your roots (literally) by staying in one of the six different treehouses available in Johor Bahru. Four of the houses can fit up to six people, and two of the houses can fit up to 12. Along with accommodations, you’ll get one dinner and one breakfast for every night you spend there, plus a tour of the jungle, and an introduction to organic farming.

Camping in an Ancient Tropical Rainforest(Taman Negara)

3If you want to get a little more primal with your staycation, then visit Taman Negara to see one of the Earth’s oldest rainforests. The venue’s name is called Camping in an Ancient Tropical Rainforest, and it’s located off the freeway at the Temerloh Toll Plaza Outbound exit.

You get two full nights of accommodation, along with two breakfasts, two dinners, and one lunch. With this experience, you can also go on a night jungle walk or visit the Time Capsule. Enjoy a ticket to the canopy walk and jungle trekking for a thrilling adventure you’ll never forget.

Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara or the Hana Guesthouse. Try a floating restaurant, or visit

the tourist centre to find out more about where to go in the national parks. This is one of best places to access Taman Negra National Park for the day if you don’t want to actually stay in the park.

4WD to a Virgin Jungle Experience (Kemaman, Terengganu)

Taking a 4x4 around the jungle gives you a chance to explore without having to trek through all the wildlife. This experience (called 4WD to a Virgin Jungle) is 3 days and 2 nights, accompanied by 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and dinners, and it’s full of heart-stopping action you won’t want to miss. The vehicle can handle even the bumpiest terrains (except for when it gets stuck of course!) and the whole ride ends with a viewing of an incredible hidden waterfall. You’ll also have the opportunity for general fishing and camping after the ride.

Take a little time off for an ATV up and down Pangkor Hill with an excursion called Rolling on Beaches and Jungles. The views from the top are absolutely worth it, and you’ll love getting there on your ATV. You’ll get training and safety instructions for the ride, as well as a guide to help you along the way. The whole ride will last for about an hour and a half.

So, there you have it. With so much to enjoy and explore, there’s every reason to go on your very own jungle staycation in our very own country.

11The New Gen

Public Aviation Transportation:

The Air Caterpillar

Any book, movie, or TV show set in the future always sparks our imagination, simply because it’s all speculative. The people who create the scripts and designs for their works of fiction are in the same boat as we are, in that we don’t know for sure exactly how things will look in the future. Yet, those ideas are always based on the available technology of the present time, and based on the history of how those technologies came into being.

It’s one of the reasons why so many of those ideas end up coming to fruition in one form or another, in the real world. Whether these ideas actually influence the future, or whether we were headed in that direction anyway, it’s incredible just how many of these fictional technologies have come to pass. See, for example, how public transportation for the air is already coming alive in more than just people’s minds. The Air-Elf is a concept of a self-flying car for shorter distances and for mass transport.

Page 13: Jungle - Berjaya Clubs...Cover Story 09 Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara

12The New Gen

The Air Caterpillarfrom Air-Elf

The Air-Elf was made to free up the road from constant congestion, so everyone stays safer on the road (and gets to their destinations faster). Right now, it’s still a concept, but it’s a concept that may become a reality sooner than you might think. Engineers have been hard

at work to come up with an idea that will be both fast and flexible enough to meet public demand without compromising on the well-being of its passengers. The Air Caterpillar featured on the Air-Elf is an entirely new kind of wing that is actually a system of wings. It may look odd or unconventional to the average person, but it’s meant to apply helicopter principles to a smaller aircraft. The Air-Elf can glide smoothly through the air while achieving a cruising speed that can make everyone’s commute a breeze, literally.

Page 14: Jungle - Berjaya Clubs...Cover Story 09 Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara

13The New Gen

The Air-Elf is designed to both take off and land vertically, and its wings can move horizontally and in a circle to give it the lift and the force that it needs, to move. The Air Caterpillar is not a single wing, but rather many small wings that that can adapt to a variety of situations. Whether it’s a tight landing situation or an unconventional parking

space, the Air-Elf is built solid to handle emergencies with grace. It also features baggage compartments so everyone onboard has room for their things, with a cockpit that is comfortable enough for even longer trips.

As we all move forward in time, it helps to know just what’s on the horizon. It’s clear that new solutions are needed when it comes to serving the ever-growing needs of the

earth’s population. There are too many cars on our roads, and it’s not practical to add more highways and lanes to solve the problem. Those who care about the long-term are doing everything possible to design the products we’ll eventually need now, rather than waiting until we’re all in crisis mode and scrambling to fix it. With innovations like the Air Caterpillar, it’s up, up and away!

Aviation transportation technology is taking off

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to camping. Some people want to sleep under a blanket of stars while they’re serenaded with the sounds of nature and tantalised by the scents of fresh air. These people may only need themselves and a sleeping bag to camp successfully. But other people may need a few more amenities than that. Considering that camping gear has made a lot of strides in the past few years (as interest has grown and sales have followed), keep these five recommendations in mind, if you want a few more comforts than just a sleeping bag.

SurvivalCamping Gear(for the Modern Camper)

Backpack:

Teton SportsScout 3400

This backpack that can be customised to fit your body and is made to be as lightweight as possible. There are a variety of different compartments in the bag, so you can keep everything organised and categorised. The Sports Scout also features lumbar support for when you know you’ll need to carry your pack for long distances.

15 Top 5

Lantern:

The 30-Day Lantern

Cooker:

Coleman Road Trip Propane Portable Grill LXEThis is a battery-powered

lamp that people love when tent camping. Using the light from your phone is not only inconvenient but it also drains your battery fairly quickly. This lantern is extremely bright, so you can either use it when you’re trying to read and relax, or if you hear something at night and need to investigate the source of the noise. It’s durable enough to keep going, no matter how many times you drop it, and it uses the power of LED to last for an amazing full 30 days.

One of the biggest perks of camping is getting to grill in the great wide open, and enjoying your food in the full hospitality of Mother Nature. This grill not only sets up in mere seconds, but it’s built to satisfy the gourmet cook who wants to do more than flip a burger into a bun. It has a porcelain surface and a removable grease tray for fast cleaning, and the wheels fold up for convenient storage. This is highly recommended if you plan to camp in an RV, but you can also take this grill on regular backpacking trips too.

16Top 5

Toilet:

Hassock Portable Lightweight Self-Contained Toilet

Music:

Solar-Powered, Bluetooth Smartphone-Charging SpeakerFor those who want a few

more home comforts when they’re not at home, this toilet is highly recommended for a trip out in the woods. It’s easy to dispose of the waste, as it features a removable inner bucket, and people specifically recommend it because it’s convenient to use when you need to go on the go.

For more fun when you’re camping, this speaker definitely does the trick. Small and simple to use, you can

hook your phone up and play music long into the night. Plus, you’ll be helping to save the environment while you’re enjoying your time outdoors. And because it uses the power of the sun, you won’t have to worry about the batteries running out of juice when you’re in the middle of your favourite song.

17Sports Guide

Five Strange Sports from

Past Olympic Games The Olympics, for many people, are the epitome of sportsmanship exhibition. From grand displays of athleticism to unmatched fanaticism, the Olympics have been able to elicit a huge following over the years. From the first event over a century ago since the first Olympics, the games have evolved to create the best sporting experiences for sports lovers. While the games today vary in difficulty and uniqueness, the Olympics have had a fair share of utterly bizarre games that got discontinued one way or another and for valid reasons. Some of the games are not only bizarre, but also quite nerve-wracking, especially games that involve deep water. This article will review some of the strangest games featured in past Olympics that you wouldn’t believe existed.

Page 19: Jungle - Berjaya Clubs...Cover Story 09 Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara

18Sports Guide

One of the things a swimming instructor tells a beginner swimmer is always to try to catch a breath when swimming. The only place swimming without breathing is a thing is in military drills. Well, if you consider some of the events that occurred in past Olympic Games, you would be forgiven for thinking it was all military stuff. Believe it or not, in 1900, there was a game that involved swimmers swimming more than 60 metres underwater without breathing. Swimmers gained more points for every metre they covered completely submerged.

Underwaterswimming

Introduced in the 1984 Olympics and discontinued in 1992, the game involved a solo swimmer simulating synchronised moves in the pool. The sport, mainly for ladies, resembled a well-choreographed ballet dance, only this time underwater. To get a clear picture of how bizarre the sport was, the female athlete was supposed to do a synchronised dance to go with the music that was playing. It involved holding breath underwater for long periods during the dance, and in other cases, involved dancing upside down with their legs sticking out of the water.

Solo synchronised swimming1 2

Page 20: Jungle - Berjaya Clubs...Cover Story 09 Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara

19 Sports Guide

It’s tough enough to swim long distances while preserving one’s breath for more strokes. When you add obstacles, the sport becomes strangely difficult. Well, the sport premiered in the 1900 Olympics in a one-and-only-time kind of scenario. It involved swimmers having to swim 200 metres with obstacles in between. Swimmers were required to climb a pole and swim under a row of vessels twice and so on. Sounds like something you would find in elite military training, right? No wonder it only happened once.

Everyone loves seeing athletes flying off the ground to the farthest point during the long jumps. Imagine, instead of people, if it’s horses doing that. Introduced in the 1900 games in Paris, the track and field event involved horses leaping, with the farthest jump being six metres.

Another event that was only held once in 1900 and never again, live-pigeon shooting involved two competitors competing on who would kill the most birds in one event. Six pigeons would get released, and then an individual shooter would aim and try to shoot as many birds as possible. By the end of that one-time event, 300 birds died. The result was too messy, with dead birds and feather everywhere, so that organisers decided never to hold the game again. Plus, the game involved killing animals on purpose.

20 Food & Beverage

If you’re taking a staycation in the rainforest,

there’s really no better time to start living a

healthier lifestyle. This is a chance for you to

really concentrate on yourself. So, instead

of grabbing that mid-afternoon pastry snack

that is sure to put you in a sugar coma, reach

for organic fruits and vegetables for a little

mini-detox. More and more eco-getaways

are including organic options in the menu

offerings. It’s a great step along a much

21Food & Beverage

Organic foods don’t use pesticides or preservatives the same way that non-organic foods do, which means that you’re putting only whole foods into your body. Non-organic veggies and fruits may last longer, but those preservatives can actually alter the chemical makeup and make the food less nutritious. Certain additives have even been known to encourage weight gain, which is certainly

not something you want, when you’re trying to consume more fruits and vegetables.

As another plus, organic food can taste fresher. That freshness you crave when you’re trying to eat better can be a great catalyst to making better choices when it comes to your diet. One of the absolute biggest advantages of organic food is that it tends to stave off diseases. The less altered food you eat, the less likely you are to get major illnesses such as heart disease.

Fewer toxins, better health

Page 23: Jungle - Berjaya Clubs...Cover Story 09 Staying in Kuala Tahan gives you a chance to see the beauty of the joining of the Tahan and Tembiling mountains. Stay in the Mutiara Taman Negara

22Food & Beverage

One of the disadvantages of eating organic food is that you’re going to pay a little more for it. Again, the cost you pay in the short-run is much less than the cost you may pay in the long run for healthcare bills, but the initial expense of organic foods can be off-putting to a consumer who’s used to paying for non-organic foods only. This idea, though, that organic food can help you live longer is not just hearsay to help sell organic food – there is a demonstrable link between eating more organic food and having a healthier

How to grow your own organic food

body over time. Organic food also generally doesn’t last as long as inorganic food will, which can be a concern for some. But shopping more often and even growing your own organic food can be a solution.

Once you’re back from your staycation, hopefully, you’ll want to put more effort into eating well. Starting your own organic garden can be as simple as buying a few potted plants of herbs that you can put right in your kitchen. Not only is this a decorative feature for your home, but it’s also extremely convenient if you love to cook. Just ensure to use only natural sunlight and water when you’re growing your food. (Also look for organic products to help your plants grow.) You can, for example, buy a small tomato plant to place in your kitchen, so that you can enjoy fresh pasta sauce or sandwich toppings whenever the mood strikes you.

Malaysia Day Charity Golf

A total of 114 golfers took part in the Malaysia Day Charity Golf recently. Played over

18 holes on Stable Ford System 36, there were 6 novelty challenges and a Hole-In-One prize.
