TAKISUNG DAN BATAKAN KALSEL BAGAIKAN LAUTAN MANUSIA

Pelaihari, Kalsel, 1/1 (ANTARA) - Obyek wisata Pantai Takisung (85 Km timur Banjarmasin) dan Pantai Batakan (125 Km timur Banjarmasin) di Kabupaten Tanah Laut (Tala), Kalimantan Selatan (Kalsel) sejak malam Tahun Baru 2009 hingga Kamis siang, bagaikan lautan manusia.
Kedua obyek wisata pantai di "Bumi Tuntung Pandang" Tala tersebut pengunjungnya mencapai puluhan ribu orang atau sebagaimana suasana Tahun Baru 2008, kata Kepala Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaah (Parbud) Kabupaten setempat, Drs. Syarifuddin di Pelaihari menjawab ANTARA Banjarmasin, Kamis.
"Walau pengunjung obyek wisata bahari yang menyatu dengan Laut Jawa dan dapat menyaksikan matahari yang mau terbenam di kala menjelang malam itu, membludak bagaikan lautan manusia, tapi alhamdulillah sampai saat ini tidak ada insiden," katanya lewat telepon selular.
Ia mengungkapkan, pengunjung luar daerah yang bermalam Tahun Baru pada kedua obyek wisata pantai tersebut banyak yang membawa/memasang tenda (kemah) sendiri, disamping menikmati alam terbuka yang kebetulan hingga pagi menjelang Kamis siang tak turun hujan.
"Karena vila milik Pemerintah Kabupaten (Pemkab) Tala yang tersedia buat pengunjung obyek wisata tersebut bermalam atau beristirahat, sudah sejak sepekan lalu menjelang malam Tahun Baru 2009, habis dipesan orang-orang dari luar daerah, seperti asal Banjarmasin," tuturnya.
Ia memperkirakan, tumpah ruahnya pengunjung terutama kalangan kaula muda ke Pantai Takisung dan Batakan, karena selain aksesnya yang relatif mudah, juga mereka ingin menikmati perpaduan hawa angin pegunungan dan pantai laut.
"Padahal Pemkab Tala ataupun Dinas Parbud setempat tidak mengemas hiburan apa-apa untuk malam Tahun Baru. Kecuali pada siang hari 1 Januari 2009 ada hiburan musik bernuansa dangdut," lanjutnya.
Ia menerangkan, sebagaimana tahun lalu, guna mengantispasi berbagai kemungkinan yang terjadi saat malam Tahun Baru ataupun hiburan siang harinya, Pemkab Tala berkerjasama/berkoordinasi dengan aparat keamanan setempat.
Begitu pula dalam pengaturan arus lalulintas yang frekwensinya cukup tinggi menjelang malam tahun baru atau awal tahun yang masih ramai pengunjung, Pemkab Tala mengerahkan petugas dari Dinas Perhubungan bekerjasama dengan aparat kepolisian setempat, demikian Syarifuddin.

0 Legenda Pantai Takisung p

By Fathurrahman | At 6:33 AM | Label : Pantai Takisung | 0 Comments

Tiga orang pemuda bujangan, sebut saja Bo Tat, gendut dan bowwie suatu hari berjalan-jalan di tepi pantai Takisung - Pleihari - Kalimantan Selatan.
Di pantai ini ada legenda yang menyatakan, jika seseorang berjalan di sini dan MENGINJAK KODOK, maka takdir akan memilihkan pasangan hidupnya adalah sosok yang jelek, seseorang yang payah, parah, hidup pula.
Setelah berjalan bertiga, tiba-tiba si gendut merasa ia MENGINJAK KODOK!
“%#^&!� Kata gendut dalam hati “Gue ngijek kodok, alamat jelek dah bini gue ntar…�
Tapi demi harga diri, gendut diam tidak bercerita kalo dia nginjek kodok.
Tidak lama, giliran bowwie yang nginjak kodok lagi “#&*!! Payah neh, bakalan kawin ama cewek jelek lah gue..� Pikir bowwie pasrah.
Tapi sama dengan gendut , ia memilih berdiam diri sambil berharap legenda itu tidak benar.
Intinya, hanya Bo Tat yang ternyata beruntung tidak terinjak kodok dalam perjalanan 3 tokoh muda kita ini.
Sekian tahun berlalu, ketiganya pun akhirnya menikah dan bertemu kembali di suatu acara.
Dan ternyata legenda itu benar adanya! Istri gendut ternyata wanita yang jeleknya poll, payah dan parah. Hal yang sama dialami bowwie. Istrinya sangar dan lebih mirip laki dibandingkan perempuan. Sementara Bo Tat, dengan jumawa memamerkan istrinya yang cantik, tinggi langsing putih semok. Namanya sebut saja Cantik.
Ketiga teman lama ini pun lalu ngobrol-ngobrol sampai akhirnya, gendut dan bowwie mengaku kalau mereka berdua nginjek kodok waktu jalan-jalan di Takisung beberapa tahun lalu.
Bo Tat pun terbahak, “Wahahahah.. Pantesan istri loe bedua pada payah begitu yak! Untung gue ga nginjek kodok, liatin istri gue tuh, bohay semoy begitu…�
Tiba-tiba, Cantik - istri Bo Tat - tidak sengaja mendengar pembicaraan mereka bertiga.
Cantik pun menyelutuk, “Oh, kalian bedua terinjak kodok di Takisung juga? Sama dunk! Gue juga dulu pas jalan di pantai itu nginjek kodok!�......

0 Restoran Pantai Takisung

By Fathurrahman | At 6:28 AM | Label : Pantai Takisung | 0 Comments

Setelah vakum sejak dibangun dua tahunan lalu, bangunan megah restoran di Pantai Takisung akhirnya beroperasional. Pelancong yang mengunjungi objek wisata ternama di Tala itu kini kian termanjakan. "Alhamdulillah restoran di Pantai Takisung sudah buka dan berfungsi sebagaimana yang diharapkan," ucap Kasi Usaha Jasa Pariwisata Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Tala David Oot, Minggu.

Restoran berkapasitas 100an orang itu mulai beroperasional sejak tiga minggu lalu. Disparbud Tala akhirnya berhasil meyakinkan pihak swasta (pengusaha restoran/rumah makan) untuk mengisi fasilitas megah itu.

Pengusaha yang mengisinya adalah pemilik rumah makan baru di Kota Pelaihari yang cukup ternama. Masakan yang disediakan adalah aneka masakan fresto atau tulang lunak dan beragam minuman jus buah.

Sekedar diketahui, sejak selesai dibangun sekira dua tahun lalu, bangunan restoran yang dibangun Pemkab Tala dengan dana ratusan juta tersebut mangkrak. Tak satu pun pengusaha restoran/rumah makanan yang tertarik atau berani berbisnis di Pantai Takisung. Akhirnya bangunan itu disewakan kepada pihak ketiga jika ada yang ingin mengadakan kegiatan di Pantai Takisung.

Berbagai cara sebenarnya telah dilakukan, namun tetap saja tak ada peminat. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kunjungan wisatawan di Pantai Takisung sifatnya masih musiman atau ramai hanya pada musim liburan panjang (Idhul Fitri, Idhul Adha, tahun baru) saja. Pada hari libur mingguan (Sabtu-Minggu) sebenarnya juga selalu ada pelancong yang datang, namun jumlahnya tak seberapa

0 How To Clean Up After Water Damage And Do I Need A Professional

By Fathurrahman | At 5:21 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

This is a question no home or business owner wants to have to ask. The first thing to consider is safety and health hazards. Electrical hazards and slip & fall hazards are the most common hazards present. Second, if you can safely do so turn off power to the impacted area and remove excess water. Any valuables should be secured and protected from further damage. Water damage is very progressive. Consider these facts.

Within minutes.. Water spreads quickly to additional areas, rapidly increasing the scope and cost of the loss. Stains from furniture can dye carpet permanently. Paper goods are damaged by moisture absorption and warping.

Within hours... Furniture in direct contact with water swells or splits. Drywall swells and disintegrates; paneling warps. Odor becomes an issue.

Within days.. Mold develops, along with the characteristic "musty" odor. Sensitive components in pianos and organs swell and malfunction with elevated humidity. Metal surfaces begin to corode. Doors and window casings swell and distort or delaminate. Wood decking, joists and studs begin to swell, warp and split. Electronic components malfunction due to moisture condensation. Allergic reactions escalate.

Within weeks.. Mold discolors and destroys organic materials (jute backings, paper coverings on drywall, paneling, wood). Structural wood warps and splits, while chemicals in wood dissolve and discolor or destroy finishes. Costs escalate dramatically as the requirement for gutting the structure and replacing components becomes necessary. Health hazards are everywhere. Building Occupants may be required to leave their property due to safety and health hazards. Children & the elderly are at higher risk due to weaker immune systems

This is an incredibly technical field of study with constantly evolving technologies that allow professionals to dry buildings completely within 2-3 days with little or no demolition with CLEAN WATER. Typically water damage is far more progressive than what is visible without special tools (thermal cameras, moisture meters and hygrometers are crucial).

Any water other than category 1 "clean" water has completely different protocols and major health hazards will likely be present (and made worse) if the steps needed are not taken. There should be no need to "disinfect" carpet in a clean water loss. You cannot truly sanitize a porous surface such as carpet and you do not need to apply chemicals if the water is from a clean source and dried within 24-48 hours (thorough cleaning is all that is required). In states such as Maine if a company applies disinfectants or antimicrobials they need to be a licensed Master pesticide applicator or risk stiff fines.

To dry carpet, sub floor, hardwood & walls QUICKLY WITHOUT MOLD requires very specialized equipment(often a heat drying application), a sound understanding of temperature/humidity control and moisture meters to measure moisture content to verify that materials have been dried properly. These situations should only be handled by a certified, highly experienced technician.

Time is a huge factor and MANY water damage situations do not require professional help. If there is concrete flooring with glue down carpet, or floor tiles over concrete with little or no wall damage with clean water then a person can certainly handle their own water loss with the right equipment, desire and a little training.

To dry a structure with sub floor, drywall, padded carpet, plaster, hardwood floors, behind cabinets, in a crawlspace or large area it could very well mean permanent loss of property value, refusal of insurance coverage and serious health risk to occupants.

Reputable contractors warranty their work for at least 3-5 years, have liability and pollution insurance, hold IICRC certifications, provide a thorough water damage report when work concludes (we provide a 25 page report documenting everything that takes place including all of the temperature, humidity and moisture readings), have good references and yes will charge for their services like any other professional. The Better Business Bureau is a good resource as well.

Like any professional, liability is a huge factor, the average company will likely have several hundred thousand dollars in specialized equipment, a team of certified professionals with years of experience and tools to determine (and show you) the extent of damages both visible and hidden.

There is a reason insurance companies suggest calling in a restoration firm. And not because they want to spend thousands of unnecessary dollars. It is because we save them thousands and thousands of unnecessary dollars. These savings come from rapid drying which can prevent the need for demolition, preventing mold growth, preventing bacterial development, preventing law suits and getting the home owners back in the area quickly and safely.

Another major factor is documentation and warranties. When a property is sold you must disclose water losses or risk major law suits. When handled properly by professionals this is no problem. You have the documentation and we are only a phone call away.

In Summary yes, many small water damage situations do not require the cost of professional restoration firms. However when needed we can be an invaluable resource to you in your time of need.

0 Using The I Pass And IPass Benefits

By Fathurrahman | At 5:19 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

With the price of tolls ever increasing, it makes more sense than ever to get an I Pass. You can not only save money when you hold an IPass when you are traveling the Illinois tollways, but you can also save a great deal of time. Anyone who travels on the tollways knows how it bottlenecks when you get to a tollbooth and how you have to wait, even at the automatic toll collection booth, to deposit money. There is no fumbling around for money or change when you use an I Pass. You can sail right through the lanes that are designated for IPass users when you use one of these devices instead of waiting in a toll line and then trying to get back into the flow of the traffic after you emerge from the toll booths, which can be very dangerous as others who have the I Pass are not slowing down. The stated purpose of the I Pass is to allow for a better flow of traffic on the tollways. Those who use the tollways often, really have no choice but to consider getting the IPass as it will save both time and a great deal of money.

The I Pass installs inside your car on the windshield. It works electronically and allows your car to said through the IPass lanes without having to slow down as the electronic monitor picks up on the signal emitted from your I Pass. You only pay a yearly fee for the I Pass in Illinois, no matter how often you use the tolls. Those who use the tollway often, as is the case with most people who have to travel the Chicago metro area, will find that they save a great deal of money by using the I Pass. It also is much more convenient to use as there is no slowing down when you are on the tollway. Most accidents on the tollway come from merging into the toll lanes and getting out of them, so the IPass actually makes it safer to travel these roads.

The IPass will alleviate traffic congestion on the tollways and make it easier for those who want to get somewhere in a hurry, which is the entire point of using the tollway, to do so without having to slow down and pay tolls. In addition to saving money when you use the I Pass with regard to tolls, you can get to your destination much faster when you use this device as well as save on fuel as you are not stopping and starting all of the time.

The only problem with using the I Pass is that it looks unattractive on the inside of your windshield. Everyone can see the IPass when they look at your vehicle and this can seem like an intrusive device. There are ways, however, that those who use the I Pass can cover up the look of the device and make it not only mount easier, but also make it appear more attractive. This can also deter those who want to steal the I Pass from your car from doing so as they will only see a logo rather than the actual device from the outside of your car. You can purchase products that will make it easier to hold your I Pass and also make your vehicle more attractive.

If you own an IPass, then you should consider getting an I Pass holder. An IPass holder can sport a logo and hold the device so that it looks more attractive and is more functional in your vehicle. You can get I Pass holders that have the official logo of your favorite sports team, regardless of whether you follow basketball, hockey, baseball or football. You can even get an IPass holder with NASCAR labels. If you are using this convenient device when traveling the tollways, you should consider getting an IPass holder to make it more attractive as well as easier to use while showing support for your favorite sports team at the same time.

0 All You Need To Know About Account Management Jobs

By Fathurrahman | At 5:16 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

Account management jobs are the kind of jobs that tend not to be pursued successfully, by the faint hearted. These roles are varied, pressured and incredibly diverse; allowing individuals who take on these positions to be as dynamic and unique.

If you were to sum up account management roles in to a few well chosen words, you would have to include, relationship, development, communication and interpersonal skills.

Relationship building is the most fundamental skill of all successful businesses, whether the relationship is between a consumer and a brand or a servicing company and a client. A successful relationship has to be established in order for business to be carried out, maintained and then, (with luck, care and a hint of tenacity) developed. Without good relationships an account manager has no account to manage and therefore no role. It is all too common to see ineffective account managers, inherit business from their more successful predecessor, to only loose it within a short period of time. There are those who believe that this phenomenon occurs because new relationships are uncomfortable to begin with, but it is also true to say, that someone who is a good relationship builder and understands the needs of their new clients, is able to relay a strong message of assurance to those they inherit. Relationship is key to the role of account managers. Without the ability to sustain positive business relationships, account managers find themselves in a precarious position, and at a frighteningly quick pace.

When relationships are developed, development of those businesses then needs to be carried out. The effective account manager will identify opportunities to improve and increase their business with clients. This can happen in a variety of ways. Account managers can cross sell other services and products their own business has to offer, or indeed, they can build relationships with their client that facilitate them networking with their clients in such a way that the client makes referrals for them. For example, a good recruitment consultant/account manager, will cross develop throughout a business and then source other positions from the clients of their own clients. Account management is not for the sleepy, but can prove to be a lucrative and fulfilling position for the "switched on".

Account management requires excellent communications skills, with particular reference to skills employed while working in presentations, day to day electronic communications etc. The other skill set that can't be stressed enough is interpersonal skills. Without the ability to relate to clients and then back to staff in their own organization, account managers soon find themselves in situations that the United Nations couldn't help them out of. Diplomacy, sensitivity and an awareness of what could happen in worse case scenarios, are skills that an effective account manager employs and doesn't even realize they are using them. The ought to come naturally.

Account management jobs can be sourced by a variety of methods. Specialist recruitment consultants, press and internet websites all hold account management jobs. Virtually every industry and profession in the world has account managers and the requirements to become an account manager are very specific to the culture of the company the candidate is interested in applying to. Account management is a role that is integral to the success of any company wanting to thrive and grow. Good account managers can also find themselves in lucrative positions where they can enjoy variety and every day presenting a new challenge.

0 Ensure your power tools supplier offers excellent customer service

By Fathurrahman | At 5:15 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

It isn't every day that you want to buy power tools and when a trading professional, it is important to ensure that the product you buy will be up to the job. It is not always a given that you will know the best product and manufacturer to do the job but at Toolchest Direct you will have access to an experienced specialist power tools provider who, with more than 15 years experience in the power tools supply trade, have the stock and facilities to provide you with the very latest reliable power tools of the highest quality. Having the ability to supply your selected Makita tools for example, is of course always an important factor when looking for a supplier but more important is actual availability. It is an extremely competitive world, particularly in view of the current economic climate, and as a professional, you may have to enter into some testing contractual agreements with tight deadlines and be operating to extremely tight financial margins. It is during these times that demand you ensure that your selected supplier can consistently offer you the majority of the power tools or cordless tools straight from stock with an overnight delivery service where practical. You will also need to look closely at pricing structures and flexible payment options as it is not always practical to pay for your goods in cash, particularly if you are ordering online. Finally, look at the supplier's customer service and of course the equally valuable after sales service. Experience and strong links with leading manufacturers often offer a good indication. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law and obliges that producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment on a like for like basis so ensure you ask for details.

By Fathurrahman | At 5:15 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

There can be various reasons for wanting a more environmentally friendly home. Today we would have to have our head buried in sand not to be aware of the ecological damage our presence is having. Modern lifestyles are very destructive to the planet and the plants and animals we share the Earth with. If you are searching for a How to make your home green with power guide then you can start by implementing the following steps '

1. Efficient Devices: To begin with you should upgrade as many of your electronic appliances as possible to energy efficient models. All manufacturers are now aware of environmental concerns and so market their products with 'green' language. It does not cost much to switch your light bulbs to eco-saver varieties. TVs, computers, washing machines, dishwashers, and various other household appliances all now are available in energy efficient models.

2. Renewable Energy Sources: Now it is not so difficult to choose to install an alternative source of electricity in your home that can be used to cut back on the amount of energy you take from a utility company. Most companies still produce the bulk of their electricity from fossil fuels that add to environmental damage. Solar panels and wind turbines are now available for residential use and are efficient all year round.

3. Heating Systems: In many homes it is the heating system that takes the most energy use. You could choose to install a solar heating system which will greatly reduce your energy consumption.

4. Insulation: Though we often spend a fortune heating our homes very few of us actually have an adequate form of insulation to prevent heat loss. By investing in the latest insulation products you will be cutting back on the power you require.

It is possible to have a home that is completely green. Every year the cost of switching to better environmental practices is becoming more affordable.

0 How the latest PCB design products are revolutionising the electronics industry

By Fathurrahman | At 5:13 AM | Label : Electronic | 0 Comments

Printed circuit board design has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years; with tools like the Cadence Allegro PCB design range making intricate, small-scale layouts fast and easy to create. Cadence PCB design has a full range of features, specifically aimed at the electrical and physical constraints of modern PCB layouts. Modern electronic components are far smaller, and more complex, than those of yesterday - printed circuit boards have to address this, by becoming finer and easier to use. PCB's were once a specialist area, and therefore designers could take many hours over each one. Today, however, they are used extensively in commerce, industry, health, research and consumer goods. Practically everyone has a mobile phone. Game systems and I-pods are found in every household. From toys to greetings cards, printed circuit boards are the norm. This puts tremendous pressure on the designers and creators, who are expected to have fast and reliable output to keep up with demand. Printed circuit boards, for all their modernity, are still one product that is largely assembled by hand. Today's PCB design technicians are looking for specific features in the tools they use, which will enable them to create restraint-driven PCB's swiftly and accurately. This is why products like the Cadence Allegro are so sought after - they have been thoroughly researched to offer the very latest PCB routing, design and layout systems. The user interface is consistent and easy to use, throughout the entire design flow. Global routing technology can be used in complex PCB layouts with a high speed interface, in a way that wasn't possible before. We at Concept Cad use high powered tools like the Cadence Allegro Expert XL to give us full control, precision, accuracy and constraint - no matter how complex the boards we supply.

0 Gempa Haiti Terparah dalam 200 Tahun

By Fathurrahman | At 5:06 AM | Label : Berita | 0 Comments

PORT-AU-PRINCE - Gempa bumi berkekuatan 7,0 Skala Richter mengguncang Haiti kemarin. Diperkirakan ribuan jiwa tewas karena banyaknya warga yang tinggal di negara kepulauan di kawasan Laut Karibia itu masih tertimbun reruntuhan gedung-gedung.

United States Geological Survey (USGS) menyatakan bencana itu merupakan gempa bumi terbesar di Haiti dalam 200 tahun lebih. Selain menyebabkan ribuan korban, gempa dilaporkan merobohkan istana kepresidenan, gedung-gedung, dan perumahan di berbagai lokasi, termasuk di daerah lereng perbukitan. Gedung lima lantai milik Perserikatan Bangsa- Bangsa (PBB) juga rata dengan tanah setelah gempa terjadi.

Titik gempa diketahui berpusat di 18,45 derajat Lintang Utara dan 72,44 Bujur Barat atau berjarak 16 km barat daya ibu kota Haiti, Port-au-Prince, yang di atasnya didiami sekitar 1 juta orang. Berdasar catatan USGS,gempa terjadi pukul 21.53 (GMT), 12 Januari 2010; atau pukul 16.53 waktu setempat, 12 Januari 2010; atau 04.53 WIB, Rabu 13 Januari 2010. Kedalaman gempa yang hanya sekitar 10 km mengakibatkan dampak sangat mengerikan.

Bukan hanya di wilayah pusat gempa, tapi juga di pusat kota Port-au-Prince yang berpenduduk empat juta orang. Kondisi kian parah karena gempa susulan yang terjadi mempunyai kekuatan cukup besar,mencapai 5,9 SR.

“Sebanyak 27 gempa susulan dengan kekuatan besar terjadi dalam tempo beberapa jam setelah gempa pertama,” demikian keterangan USGS. Saksi mata melaporkan, gempa menimbulkan kepanikan dan kekacauan luar biasa.

Warga berteriak “Tuhan,Tuhan!” sambil berlarian ke jalanan, ketika gedung-gedung, hotel-hotel, rumah-rumah, dan pertokoan roboh. Tayangan televisi Reuters dari Port-au-Prince menunjukkan kekacauan di jalanan yang dipenuhi jasad dan manusia yang menangis kalut. Banyak warga yang tampak linglung, bingung, bercampur sedih, karena sanak kerabat mereka meninggal dunia, atau masih tertimbun reruntuhan gedung dan belum dapat diselamatkan.

Korban selamat dan korban tewas berlumuran debu puingpuing gedung yang roboh di sekelilingnya. Warga yang selamat segera menuju tanah lapang untuk menghindari bencana lebih buruk. Jaringan listrik dan komunikasi putus, sehingga warga terpaksa tidur dalam keadaan gelap gulita dan kedinginan. Mereka sangat mengharapkan bantuan. Laporan tentang jumlah korban tewas, terluka, dan kerusakan gedung masih belum dapat dipastikan karena kerusakan sistem telekomunikasi di Haiti.

Yang pasti,negara miskin yang berada di wilayah Amerika Latin itu butuh bantuan secepatnya,baik itu peralatan berat untuk menyingkirkan puing-puing, personel penyelamat, juga bantuan kebutuhan pokok dan medis.

“Saya mengharap seluruh dunia, khususnya Amerika Serikat (AS), melakukan apa yang mereka lakukan pada kami saat 2008, ketika empat badai menerjang Haiti. Saat itu AS mengirimkan sebuah rumah sakit kapal di pantai Haiti. Saya harap itu akan dilakukan lagi dan membantu kami mengatasi situasi ini,” papar Duta Besar Haiti untuk AS Raymond Alcide Joseph. Joseph meminta warga Haiti di luar negeri bekerja sama mengerahkan segala upaya untuk membantu warga di tanah kelahiran mereka.

Dia juga memastikan Presiden Haiti Rene Preval berhasil selamat walaupun gedung istana kepresidenan berubah menjadi puingpuing. Atapnya roboh meratakan dinding-dinding bangunan. Meski begitu, di mana sekarang presiden berada, Alcide tidak bisa memastikan. Mantan Presiden Haiti Jean Bertrand Aristide, yang kini tinggal di pengasingan Afrika Selatan, mengirimkan pernyataan dukacita bagi warga Haiti.

Menteri Kerja Sama Prancis Alain Joyandet melaporkan Hotel Montana telah roboh dan dia mengkhawatirkan nasib warganya yang kebetulan tinggal di sana. “Ada sekitar 100 dari 300 tamu telah dievakuasi,” katanya. Itu artinya ada sekitar 200 orang tamu hotel yang masih hilang dan diduga tertimbun di reruntuhan hotel.“Kedutaan Besar Prancis di Port-au- Prince juga rusak akibat gempa,16 warga Prancis telah berkumpul di sana. Warga lainnya sedang menuju ke sana,” papar Joyandet. (AFP/Rtr/CNN/syarifudin)(Koran SI/Koran SI/rhs)
