A Chinese-owned oil tanker was attacked off Yemen Saturday by ballistic missiles fired by Huthi rebels, who have intensified strikes on Red Sea shipping, the US military said.
MELAKA: Zulazrai Zokapaly, a seasoned vendor of lemang bamboo used for preparing the traditional glutinous rice Hari Raya delicacy, has decided to ramp up supply to 60,000 stems this year, compared to the 35,000 last year, in response to heightened demand.
"So far there are orders for 37,000 bamboo stems. The highest order is for 10,000 stems. We also sell small quantities if needed," he told reporters at his business premises in Pokok Mangga here on Sunday . Zulazrai, who is in the business to augment his income during Hari Raya, said he preferred bamboo sourced from Raub, Pahang, emphasising its superior quality, with consistent lengths ranging from 43 to 45 centimetres.
Given the prevailing hot weather conditions in Melaka, he explained that the bamboo needs to be watered at least five times a day to maintain moisture levels and prevent cracking or splitting.
