Monsoon Cup 2008 Terengganu

monsoon cup

3rd – 7th December 2008

Venue – Duyong Island , Terengganu . Malaysia

Pulau Duyong is an island in the mouth of Terengganu River in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. Previously, it was divided into Pulau Duyong Besar and the smaller Pulau Duyong Kecil, but sedimentation and reclamation have united it as well as changed its coastline substantially. A seaward extension has been developed into the Heritage Bay Resort which hosts the annual Monsoon Cup yacht race.

Pulau Duyong used to be the residence of scholar Tok Syeikh Duyong[1] (1802-1889), who was respected by the palace as well as the people, and his descendants, and was a seat of religious learning. The Kota Lama Duyong (Duyong Old Fort) is a remnant of his era.

Dear friend,

Thanks for alerting us to the use of one of your photos from Dungun.net. I have removed the said photos from the two Malaysiakini reports concerned.

Please accept our apologies and I shall look into how the photo was inadvertantly used in Malaysiakini.

Regards,

malaysiakini copyright infringements

The news were regarding Giant being halt its opening on October.
The picture can be viewed at http://dungun.net/gallery under Snapshots and was originally posted on my flickr acc . It’s integrated on my website using wp flickr plugin.

All Right Reserved meant ;

* the right to reproduce the work (make copies) ;
* the right to adapt it (make new versions) ;
* the right to distribute or publish the work;
* the right to perform the work in public; and
* the right to display it.

Stating “all rights reserved” is simply a way of saying that you, the copyright holder, keep all those rights unless you specifically give someone else permission to copy it, display it, etc.

Although I am not a professional photographer nor a lawyer , and that picture is ugly i know that.. but I do know that I can sue malaysiakini for distributing the picture I taken without asking me first when it’s already stated in flickr with All Right Reserved.

Picture copyright infringements is a serious matter on Internet. I suppose normal people wouldn’t care to understand it but for an establish Media ..

So.. who wants to be my lawyer ?

missing person

Ada hamba Allah pergi ke laut dan sampai hari ni masih tak balik. Dgr khabarnya dia pergi berdua ke laut nk memancing . Kawannya balik, tp dia tak balik2.

Siapa orgnya saya tak tahu, yg saya tahu dia menetap dekat surau Ustaz Ali, kerjanya bwk lori.

Semoga Allah selamatkan beliau
