Penubuhan Parti Malaya (1956)

 

Malayan Parti merupakan sebuah parti untuk kaum Cina serpihan MCA. Parti tersebut ditubuh di Melaka pada 24 Okt 1956 oleh pengasasnya Tan Gee Gak. Parti Malaya mendapat dokongan dari the Federation of Chinese Guilds and Associations dan juga the Malacca Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Kedua-dua badan ini sememangnya di ketuai oleh Tan Gee Gak. Malayan Party ditubuhkan sebagai respon kepada kebimbangan kaum Cina terhadap pendirian Perikatan Umno-MCA kepada deraf perlembagaan yang sedang dirangka. Parti Malaya ditubuh bertepatan dengan tarikh Hari Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu sebagai menyata sokongan kepada Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Parti Malayan juga mendokong status Melaka sebagai sebuah crown colony, yang memberi kaum Cina lebih hak berbanding negeri-negeri Melayu.

Parti Malaya menyertai pilihan raya tempatan Melaka dan berjaya memenangi kerusi pada 1956, 1957 dan 1958. Parti tersebut gagal memenangi kerusi dalam pilihanraya peringkat negeri pada 1959. Namun begitu dalam pilihanraya perseketuan pada 1959 Parti Malaya berjaya menang kerusi Bandar Melaka yang ditandingi oleh Tan Gee Gak.

Parti Malaya dibubar pada March 1964 apabila Tan Gee Gak kembali semula menyertai MCA.

Al-Amir Restaurant


One of the difficulties when travelling is to find halal meals. I was in Budapest recently and spotted a restaurant which serve halal food. 




Al-Amir Restaurant

(Al-Amir now is more established - read here)


As can be read it is Al Amir Restaurant serving Arab/Syrian dishes. It is located somewhere along Rakocci ut (Rakocci Street) .. I am not really sure whether this is correct! But the exact address could be Kiraly u (or Kiraly Street). 17, Budapest, 1075. [ Now it is located a Petofi Sandor u. 18, 1052 - 2018]

I should provide some information on the menu and price but don't have time to check them out as I was in hurry. Judging from it's location and speciality the meal there may cost around 10,000 Forint per set. As a comparison Fish Fillet and Pepsi at McD or Burger King in Budapest is around 900 Forint (about Euro 3.60).



Additional note:

By now (2018) besides Al-Amir, there are many halal restaurants available in Budapest (read tripadvisor and halaltrip).

Muegyetem's (BUTE) Memento


Visiting university/college is much more meaningful if you purchase something from its store as souvenir. 
What better way than having Mugs with their name on it. 




Muegyetem's Mug (HUF280)

This Mug is quite cheap .. 280 Forints (about 1 Euro something). Muegyetem is what they called BUTE in Hungarian ... I guess so! 




Price - HUF400

And this one for some reason sells at 400 Forints.

Budapest Technical University (BUTE)


I have the opportunity to visit Budapest University of Technical and Economic (BUTE). It is a very old institution founded in the late of eighteen century (i.e., 1872).



BUTE main building

The above photo showing one of the buildings in the campus - the main building. It is an old classical building but the architecture is been kept in good condition.

The following photo shown the interior look of the building - one of the corridors. Simple and yet trendy!


The corridor

Look at how clean it is, neat and very well maintained. The notice boards display are very well organized too.

Griff Junior Hotel, Budapest


To find an accommodation when attending academic event is not really a problem. Normally the organizer will come out with a list of recommended place of accommodation. In IAG GS I have choose to stay at a budget hotel listed by the organizer. The hotel - Griff Junior - is quite near to Buda site of Budapest. Public transport is very easy to access. Tram no 6 and 49 will take you to BUTE and reach there in fifteen minutes.


Griff Junior Hotel


The hotel entrance ... that's how it's look

At that time the room rate was Euro21 for a single room. The room is basic with a TV, mini-fridge and attached bathroom.


The room

Note: there were many complaints in trip advisor saying the receptionist were rude, rooms in bad condition, breakfast is no good etc (read here). So be reminded about all these. But some are saying with cheap room rate don't expect too much.
