CONGRATULATIONS, to Louis & Mary

The Exchange of Marriage Vows between Louis & Mary was conducted at St.Joseph's Cathedral, Kuching on Friday; the 18th of December around 9:00am.

Louis is Jen's 1st cousin from Kpg.Emperoh Jambu in Padawan & working in Sabah.
His bride is from Kpg.Rasau, from the district of Serian. She is teaching in one of the schools in Miri and both met in Sabah, where their love bloomed!

Most of those that came that morning were recognisable faces, and after the simple ceremony we adjourned to their house for a small reception before the "big" makan later in the evening in Kpg.Rasau, Serian.

Congratulations to both of them, and may God bless them with plenty of blessings in the coming years.

Just before Christmas ....

MFSB managed to register this Saga BLM unit belonging to an engineer, Mr.Thomas Bai.

This is his 1st car, and more to come!

He is currently working for KTS, related to the timber industry and was Ben's colleague at Poh Yong Tiles, Batu Kawa.

He is from Engkilili. Skrang and still single.

WE want to "Thank" Thomas for giving us the opportunity to spread our wings to his area.

Ferrari F430, Utama's 2nd unit in December!

(Picture: Jen inside the Ferrari F430. Wonderin' where's the gear handle?)



(Picture: Stephen inside the Ferrari F430, the 2nd Ferrari in December "on show" at this specific location)

This is the 2nd Ferrari brought in this month!

Selling price not much different, in the region of RM1million ++

People flocked to see the unit before this, taking pictures with it. Especially kids, they were too impressed by the looks seeing it displayed "live" before them.

I don't think it will last more than a week at Utama Motors, the locality where its put up not exactly on display, as the compound is meant for a stockyard.

WE however, managed to get some pictures; so guys what do you think after seeing these pictures?

A Night Out after a hard day's work (Fri. 11/12/09)

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" says MaliLebu!

I think all agreed that night with the comment made above. WE started quite late, I think it was after 8pm Friday 11/12/09.

WE fetched JC from the Kuching International Airport after 4:45pm that day. We managed to catch up with "Dayak Nation" blogger, Cobbold John for some drinks before we parted ways.

WE re-grouped after 8pm and the partying lasted till the wee hours of the morning (its already Saturday when they finished up!)
I didn't go as my son, Jared Ganie was with me that night, we finished our night much earlier at 12am.

MFSB sold the Isuzu Dmax to JC, who has been looking around to buy this unit for quite sometime now. It's specially for his farming needs. Recently, he bought an excavator to go with this double cabin.

Well brother, THANK YOU for waiting patiently. WE are glad and very proud to have You as one of our customers.Our Customer Base is getting larger, thanks to our RuaiKitai.Com network.

WE wish you every success in your ventures.

Potluck BBQ organised by Rumahdayak.Com in Kuching

Some pictures taken from the just concluded gathering of Dayak net forumers.
It finally happened! Those that came that memorable night were from various portals like Bidayuh.Info, RumahPanjai, RadioKitai, RumahDayak & RuaiKitai.Com.

Thank You to the host , Watt Michael for giving us the space. Also "Uchu Keling" the head of RumahDayak.Com for the warmth welcome.

Later in the evening, YB Mussem, the State Assemblyman for Batang Ai also came and joined us.

WE left much earlier, after my boy; Jared Ganie got his Hamper from "Uchu Penghulu Barat."

WE hope this is not the end but a new beginning for all of us to unite if possible ALL the dayak Communities under 1Banner, or rather 1Malaysia. (if possible?)

"Top Seller" in November thru' December

(Picture: The Proton Saga BLM)

Our Sales these two months is mainly made up of these Proton Sagas .....
And the next "Best Seller" is still Perodua Viva.

Somehow, the Saga is still our "rice bowl" even after we left Utama Motors.
It's amazing how people relate the Proton to you eventhough we are now a "freelance."

WE hope our effort towards promoting our local marque is appreciated especially by the end-users. So much that we can do, but its entirely up to them to help promote it to others, hopefully from there on; the market grows bigger and we get the bigger slice of the pie.


(Picture: The Perodua Viva)

The Bentley & A Ferrari

(In both pictures, Ekin & Jared posing besides these two "lovelies")

It's in town but I don't know for how long. It was recently brought in and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur I was told is already sold for RM1.5million!

The Ferrari Spyder (2006) is still available, going for the same amount, that is RM1.5million. Any takers?

It's seldom found on our roads in Kuching unlike the Porsche and most Bentleys are Gov't issued vehicles for the VViPs.

I heard the Porsche is on its way here but I'm not sure when. I'll keep you guys posted.

Perodua Alza

The long awaited Perodua MPV is finally here!

I didn’t get to go as I was not feeling well for the launching.
Must be the “landas” season, been feeling a bit under the weather of late …..

A friend Solomon, from our local Perodua Dealer; Erazoom of Jalan Satok did ask our people to attend the launching yesterday. (23rd of Nov)

Well, we finally went to one of Perodua’s showroom located at Jalan Tun Abg. Openg.
It was a rather wet afternoon, so I didn’t want to try and drive the test unit which is readily made available to anyone who requested it.

The prices given us ranging from RM57,000 - RM72,000..

I didn’t ask how long the “queue” is if you were to place a Booking Fee today?

Compare to Proton’s Exora, this should give them a run for their money because Perodua’s is cheaper though comparatively, smaller in size!

The “ALZA” the chosen name, is running on a 1.5cc DVVT, DOHC 16 valve (4 valves per cylinder) engine with EFI (electronic fuel injection)

It has a 3yr or the 100,000km Manufacturer’s Warranty,whichever comes first!

This time, Perodua only added 1 “new color” that is Classy Purple.

The fuel capacity is only 42 litres, equivalent to today’s gas price if you opt for our RON 95, RM75.60 only!

By the way, ALZA is a Spanish word, I was taken aback why the Management agreed to the name, or is that solely for business reasons?

But then again, why Kelisa, Kancil? I would prefer it “christened” a Malaysian instead of “dan lain-lain?” What say you?

But then again Malaysia Boleh …. yang mana tak boleh, kot? Cakap je?

1Malaysia kan?

Rose & her 4th unit, The Exora!

(Picture: Happily, handing over to her the car keys, Mr.Ben, representing MFSB)

The Tale of Mrs Rose and her Exora

Today, 24th of Nov, we delivered our 2nd unit to this neighborhood.
It’s their 4th car in the family, but this unit suits them as there are 7 of them in the family.
Obviously delighted, was of course; Mr. Chin, the husband of Madam Roseline.

WE wish “The Chin Family” many happy hours driving this newest addition in their fleet of cars!

WE hope you’re happy with our overall service rendered.

It took us about 7 days to get this unit on the road.


A bit of info about Puan Roseline Maling, who is married to Mr. Chin.
She is running her own rocery shop, Syarikat Roseline, in RPR Landeh Bt.10 since the last 3 years.

She is from Sri Aman, blessed with 5 children, 2 still in our local universities.

THANK YOU Mrs.Rose, for giving us the opportunity to serve you and your family.

Today is the Day, THE NEW PERODUA MPV is here!

Its the 23rd of November, 2009.

Another chapter in Perodua's history because today they are launching the NEWEST additiom to their existing fleet of cars.

Its the MPV, the 1st from Perodua.

At 5pm today, Malaysians should be able to see the unveiling of this latest MPV to hit our roads. It's a nation-wide launching, we were told.

WE have received Invitations from Dealers to get together with them to witness this launching.

MFSB will also show to you some of the pictures as well as the details after the launching.

So folks, do comeback again.

WE will keep you updated.

MFSB in RPR Landeh

Congratulations, Mr.Joseph Ubong!

Through you, finally we have made a "mark" in your Housing Estate, thanks to Mr.Ben Ujai, who is attached with MFSB now. ( we have another unit soon, also from RPR Landeh)

This neighborhood is about 8 minutes' drive from the 10th Mile Bazaar.
Quite a large neighborhood nearby to Paya Mebi, where there are Malay/Jawa "kampongs."

The repayment a month for 9 years is about RM330+ -

If you're interested, call us.

Or if You may want to know more visit our site at
http://www.merekahfajarmotors.com

Thank You, Joe.
For waiting patiently for nearly 2 months for this unit.

MFSB wish you many happy hours driving this Viva.

MFSB in the "middle" of these ....

Picture: LHC "Warisan Mama" Cafe next door neighbor to MFSB


Picture: Located far end of the block, the newly-opened "Anjung Ria" Cafe

There has been a "slight" changes on our Block of late. Quite a lot of changes within a year.

And this month (November) marks MFSB 1st Year in operations, since we left Utama Motors in 2008.

WE welcome aboard Mr.Ben Ujai AKA MaliLebu, our latest "recruit" together with us procuring Sales for MFSB.

MFSB is also fortunate to have Mr.Donny Joseph AKA Temenggung, who operates from Miri, our oil town!

The local Kek Lapis "Mira Kek House" has moved back to their original place, where they first started. Its "new" location is their house, about 2 minutes drive from their former Kek Shop.

Our new neighbor, Warisan Mama Cafe is jointly operated by the 3 Cikgus by profession, and they serve Mee Jawa, Satay, Penang Laksa, Roti Canai plus a "fast food" stall.

They have been operational since last month, sometime during the mid-month of October. This outlet is Malay-runned.

The newest operator on the block is a very enterprising Chinese, operating under the name Anjung Ria Cafe. It was opened to public last Sunday (8th Oct) in the afternoon.

The person in-charge is a very experienced Bidayuh who has spent many years in this food industry.

This corner shop used to be a medical clinic, operated by Dr. Faisal, who has since moved to a new location not far from our present block.

They serve Chicken Rice, Kolo Mee. Mee Kari and "fast food" cooked directly from their kitchen, as well as some ala-carte menu if you like?

WE hope these new "neighbors" can help boost our business to reach a newer height.

For your information, MFSB is trying to set up a "mini" Post office for the future, if our application is accepted, hopefully in the new year 2010!

Watch out for the announcement here soon.

WE may add a "courier service" as part of our future business expansion.

Slowly but surely this neighborhood is coming to life with many new shops coming up.

Only Chinese food are not that saleable in these parts because the population here are mainly Malays/Muslim.

And so are most of the students from nearby UNIMAS and UiTM.

P.S Laksa, we simply love it BUT not to our taste, those found in Kota Samarahan.

WE tried Anjung Ria's Fried BeeHoon, though spicy but nonetheless "sedap."
The soup "kosong" that goes with it is rather cold ....

Wish us luck, folks.

Cars Of Yester Years!

Picture: Karl Benz's Velo 1894 (Picture Taken from wikipedia)

From the pictures above, we can see the revolutionary process of vehicles found in the world today!

Today, we have plenty "stylish & innovative" designs especially when you talk about safety as the vehicles get faster by the second.

Malaysia, is amongst the nations on earth that has its own BRAND NAMES.

Let us continue to give our support to our local industry.

Let's hope AFTA won't give so much negative effect on our motoring industry, and pray we are able to compete with the best in our region/Asia as whole.

MFSB will continue to provide you our services, our expertise when you talk about CARS!

Call anyone of us or better log in to our website@http://www.merekahfajarmotors.com

WE have "entered" Bakun, where Kelvin works as an Engineer.
We took delivery of this unit yesterday (Friday 06/Nov) on Dom's behalf as he will only be in town on Saturday late evening to collect his NEW! Hilux.

Thank You for the trust in us & not forgetting fellow blogger, Mr. Anthony Banyan AKA ApaiEnduq. We owe you one!

WE hope more people will talk to us when thinking of changing or selling their used unit.

It's our pleasure serving you.

Bulletin Kenyalang Issue 30 Oct/Nov featuring MFSB

“Kenyalang” is a monthly publication in the Iban-language from M.D. Publication,
Kuching.

Issue 30 Oct/Nov features Merekah Fajar Sdn.Bhd. in the “Pedagang Iban” section and the interview was conducted by Mathew Abu, sometime ago.

The selling price for a copy of Kenyalang is RM3.00 and easily obtainable at Kuching’s leading book stores or newspaper vendors.

WE take great pride in our own especially our language and culture which is unique and found only in Borneo!

Kenyalang features local and news from abroad, there’s also a recipe corner even something for those who are thinking of looking for a friendship.

On behalf of MFSB’s Management Team, I would like to say “Thank You” to the Kenyalang’s Management for giving us the opportunity to be featured in your illustrious
Bulletin.

Once again, Thank you for the recognition.

WE hope to fulfill our Dayaks’ aspiring hope of making it a success in this business venture and we hope our people will lend their support because without your support, we are nothing!

And Thank You to Christopher for a great layout & pictures editing.

Toyota Hilux

Still going strong, a name which is made famous when an advert shown over RTM's TV many, many years ago, about Ah Chong, Head of a Timber Camp got caught in a rather "sticky" situation somewhere in our deep jungles, and how he managed to get away from it all due to his reliable, powerful Toyota!

Powered by 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine, 76 litre Fuel tank capacity, at today's rate ofRM1.70 for diesel fuel, it comes to about RM129.20 for a Full Tank of fuel. So you can imagine the size of its fuel tank.

Its Transmission (gear) is 4speed Automatic with ECT, its has drum (rear) and ventilated disc brakes for the front.

It has airbags for both passenger side and for the front driver.

These are some of the features found in the Toyota Hilux Type G, though so many other great selling points which I can't possibly write it all here.

It is our pleasure to introduce this unit to our "customer" in Bakun and we hope you will enjoy the ride soon.

WE went on our Deepavali "ngabang" over the week end to Shiva's house somewhere in Greenwood Garden, 9th Mile Kuching-Serian Road.

Most of the Clan members were there that night. We had some very interesting titbits, a recipe from India brought and introduced to us by Shiva.

Shiva, is of course working as a Lecturer with the Open University and has been in our country for the last 2 years and someone who is closed to Aneth's heart!

WE had a taste of India when Curried Lamb was served. No matter how "hot" I still demand more chillies added in. ( Nope, just kidding.. )

Claudia AF7 was there too, she is of course 1st cousin to Aneth and adMF.

I hope Shiva is reading this post and I expect YOU to say something here, ITS AN ORDER and I'm your uncle REMEMBER THAT bro!!

Well, I got to go until our next meeting, "Happy Motoring" from MFSB.

Proton Saga N-Line

On Sunday evening, we attended a Thanksgiving Dinner/Buffet to celebrate Mr. Rawing Labang's daughter Graduation from Swinburne on the 29/09/09.

It was held at the Park Hotel, Padungan.

Some many recognisable faces were seen and the evening was liven up by Rendan's uncle, Mr.Jones Mukan who played beautiful tunes on keyboards along with his buddy on guitar.

I was the 1st to come on stage to "perform" that evening after that, the stage was for anyone who dares try at singing "live."

She (Shelly) is now working as a Lecturer at PTPL, Stampin BDC.

Again, we would like to Congratulate Miss Shelly Rendan for her academic success and praise God for giving her the opportunity to serve Him through His church in Batu Kawa.

And Thank You for the great company as well.
