All set to explore brick version of island republic
Visitors are looking forward to the Singapore-themed Miniland in Legoland Malaysia, which is located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
They anticipate that people will be flocking to the new attraction, which opens to the public tomorrow.
Medical officer Dr KB Tharani, 39, who was visiting the park with her family for the first time, was impressed with all the miniatures on display.
'My daughter was thrilled as we have similar Lego sets at home.
'Miniland is such a good way to introduce cultural landmarks to tourists.
'If the Merlion actually shoots water, it will be perfect,' she told StarMetro.
Fellow doctor Dr Norizyani Ahmad Fo'ad, 40, a regular visitor with an annual pass, said her family was especially eager to see how Singapore would be brought to life.

'I cannot wait to see Gardens by the Bay in miniature form.
'Hopefully, there will be more colours too as it will brighten up the whole experience,' she said.
Yeung Kam Tai, 37, an ambulance driver from Hong Kong, said it was an interesting experience walking through Miniland.
'It is like stepping into a miniature country.
'It is amazing how they have recreated different parts of the world in such detail.
'This is also a great place to stir creativity in children. They get to learn about famous landmarks while having fun,' said Yeung.
Even adults, like train enthusiast Brock McCashney, 36, from Australia, could not hide their excitement over the exhibits.
'As a train driver, my eyes are locked on the moving buses. I cannot believe how realistic it all looks,' he said.
'We will definitely come back to see how they bring Singapore to life, especially with the automation that makes the city feel alive,' he added.
Miniland's Singapore expansion will showcase 16 miniature versions of the country's most iconic sights, complete with lights, sounds and movement.

Carbon KL brings heat to Ombak Festival 2025 with fiery menu
Carbon KL's menu for the festival in Desaru Coast will include varied options. — FLOREY D. MIKIL/The Star Returning with more music and fun in the sun this September is Desaru Coast's Ombak Festival. The 2025 edition is set to take place at the coastal destination in Johor from Sept 12 to 14. Carbon KL chefs David Tay, 38, and Yeoh Wei Chieh, 29, will once again present an unforgettable gastronomic journey to festivalgoers. 'We want to double down on what we're good at, which is smoke and fire,' said Tay at a preview event held recently at their restaurant in Kota Damansara, Selangor. Befitting the 'Smoke & Fire' theme of their offerings this year, Tay recommended the Smoked Argentinian Shortrib as a must-try. Meanwhile, Yeoh suggested a dish in tune with the festival's seaside venue. 'Grilled fish with really, really good sambal. It's from one of our chefs who's from Johor.' Also joining the duo this year are chef Ng Hun Yan (more fondly known as chef Onion) and interns from Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran Johor. The expanded team translates to more helping hands in preparing their mindfully curated menu, which includes Tempura Oyster Mushroom, Snapper Umai and 'Pina Colada' – smoked ice cream paired with grilled pineapple. Tay (left) and Yeoh are bringing 'smoke and fire' to Ombak Festival 2025. — MUHAMAD SHAHRIL ROSLI/The Star Having tasted these at the preview event, it's safe to say that festivalgoers will definitely have good food to enjoy alongside good music. From Simply Red and Joss Stone to Phum Viphurit and Kyoto Protocol, Ombak Festival 2025 boasts a diverse lineup composed of international, regional and local artistes. 'SonaOne and Zamaera,' Tay named the artists he looks forward to seeing live, while Yeoh picked Joe Flizzow. Funnily enough, while this marks SonaOne's second year on stage, technically this would be his first official performance at the festival. 'I was at Ombak Festival last year as a surprise, I wasn't even on the bill. I just wanted to pop up, show up, and have a good time,' the rapper said at the same preview event, which was attended by some of the performers.

In response to the number of families with small children in attendance last year, the festival is preparing more facilities to better accommodate such visitors. As announced by festival director Karina Ridzuan, the festival is partnering with Kiddocare to provide childminding services. The Ombak Kids zone will also ensure a fun weekend for young visitors.

RM456m aerotrain's multiple breakdowns – teething problems or just shoddy workmanship?
Letter to Editor PUBLIC dismay over yet another breakdown in Aerotrain services in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is apparent on social media. The grumblings about the latest breakdown on Monday (Aug 4) have been loud and clear. As reported by The Star, airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has issued a statement regarding the 15-minute incident by blaming it on a 'technical issue'. 'At 10.30am, a door malfunction resulted in a temporary pause in operations for 15 mins,' the mainstream daily pointed out in a post uploaded to its X account. 'Shuttle buses were deployed during this time to maintain connectivity. Service resumed at 11.01am and operations are back to normal.' One can understand public disgruntlement as this follows other recent incidents. The Star had also reported that the aerotrain had experienced another breakdown on July 13. The incident that evening forced stranded passengers to walk a short stretch of the guideway to reach Terminal 1's satellite building with MAHB apologising for the incident. On July 4, the aerotrain service was halted for an hour around 11am when heavy rain caused water ponding at the underpass. In a statement that day, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook attributed the cause to a pump failure which was not part of the aerotrain replacement programme but one that was supposed to drain the water. Henceforth, this painted the impression that the incident was in no way 'a breakdown' of the train. Compensation for delays The minister's excuse sounds like a lot like a 'cuci tangan' statement which alongside the other breakdowns, the end consequence is that travellers were greatly inconvenienced. The frequency of these breakdowns seems to go beyond mere teething problems. Did the relevant parties not carry out rigorous testing of the system before going 'live'? Surely, a water pump's efficiency and effectiveness would be put to the test since Malaysia is, surprise, surprise, known for its rainy seasons to avoid the July 4 incident. What other unexpected surprises will creep up to cause more delays? What if the next incident causes travellers to miss their flights? Aside from missed holidays or business trips, what if it causes them to miss an important family event such as a wedding or, worse, a funeral? Will there be suitable recompense? It is one thing to merely reimburse the cost of a missed flight but it is quite another to put a number on missing important family engagements. These breakdowns sap public confidence of the aerotrain system. There should be greater accountability aside from the grovelling apologies. With the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign kicking off next year, suffice to say, these are headlines that everyone can do without. Social media means it will go viral, painting a negative perception of Malaysia as a destination. Stop passing the buck and get your act together. In this case, it would be the Transport Minister as the buck has to stop with you. – Aug 5, 2025 Concerned Frequent Flyer Cheras The views expressed are solely of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Focus Malaysia.

Singapore-made bot amble matchmakes strangers virtually
SINGAPORE: Undergraduate Mia, 26, has been chatting with potential dates on Telegram, but she has never seen their is only when they meet for their first date that she knows what they look like. She is among thousands who have been using amble, a Singapore-made bot which operates much like a virtual matchmaker. Introduced as a bot on Telegram – as @ambleprojectbot – in April 2023, amble now also has an app. On amble, users start out completely anonymous from each other, and do not have any idea what the other person looks like. This is in stark contrast to popular dating apps like Tinder, Hinge and Bumble, where details like a person's appearance, height and occupation are often made visible. For Mia, this has been a great pull. She told The Straits Times that her previous experience using Bumble made her feel as though she was 'a tomato on display at the Sunday Market'. With looks out of the equation on amble, Mia said she has been able to better determine her compatibility with her matches. '(A person's appearance) just isn't that high on my list in comparison with values or personality,' she said. As the conversation between two users progresses, 'milestones' are unlocked and more is revealed about the parties. This can include fun facts about them or a picture of them – the latter, only if both users have chosen to share a photo. Mia said she and her matches chose not to reveal what they look like, and instead went on 'fun, blind, meet-ups'. She has gone on two such meet-ups and said they were both enjoyable. As the conversation progresses, 'milestones' are unlocked which reveal more about the person that users are chatting with. 'Not rushed, not transactional' amble co-founder Alyssa Chua, 27, told ST she began experimenting with the idea of the bot in 2023 as she felt that conversations, particularly those on dating apps, were beginning to feel more fleeting than before. 'We swipe, we judge, we expect instant chemistry. If sparks don't fly in the first few seconds, we move on,' she said. 'And yet, when we do find something real... it's because of a conversation that made us pause, think, and see someone beyond the surface.' Chua said she chose to name the bot 'amble', to reflect how she felt a conversation should feel. 'Not rushed, not transactional, but like taking a walk in the park with someone, one step at a time,' she said. That sentiment has resonated with enough users for Chua and fellow co-founder Cayden Gwee, 27, to decide to release an app version of the bot in April. Chua said there are now about 6,000 people using amble, both on Telegram and its app. To help users find common ground, amble intermittently poses questions or prompts. They can range from simple ones like whether they have unusual hobbies or talents, to ones that provoke deeper thought such as: 'Do you think there's any sort of scenario which makes it fair to reveal a secret?' Mac Healy, 27, who began using amble in 2024, told ST the 'brainwork' needed to answer most questions has helped him strike up 'pretty good' conversations and led to meaningful matches and dates. This was in comparison to popular dating apps, where conversations were 'the same... rinse-and-repeat', said the financial analyst. 'It's not like 'What's your favourite colour?' – I get sick hearing that every single time I enter a new talking phase... amble adds a good twist,' he added. Users can also filter the people they will be matched with based on their intention – whether are looking for something romantic or platonic. Users can filter the people they will be matched with based on their intention. Chua said users have found all kinds of connections through amble. 'Some have met romantic partners – we've received very cute photos – while others have discovered shared passions with like-minded hobbyists,' she said. But with the online dating scene increasingly filled with scammy AI-generated profiles and bots, how sure can users be that the person they are chatting with is real? Chua said that on Telegram, bots – like amble – are not allowed to engage with other bots, as part of the messaging app's security measure to prevent potential abuse. And on the amble app, every profile is verified through their e-mail and phone number. The phone numbers are then cross-checked against databases of fraudulent numbers to prevent abuse, added Chua. AI is also used on the app to assess users' answers to questions set out by amble during onboarding. 'Behind the scenes, we use AI to evaluate these responses by looking for indicators of intent, sincerity, and alignment with the kind of meaningful conversations amble is built for,' said Chua. 'This helps us ensure that the people on the platform are real and genuinely here to connect.' App not the end for Telegram bot Chua said Telegram was chosen as the platform to first roll out amble as it gave the bot's creators the flexibility to test ideas, and without requiring users download something that was new. Ryan, who wanted to be known by only one name, said he found it convenient that he did not have to download yet another app onto his phone. '(It) definitely pulled me to using amble,' said the 29-year-old commercial pilot, who had been using the bot since early 2025. Chua said Telegram also 'felt like a natural place for real conversations to happen'. However, the messaging platform also limited what Chua and Gwee could do with amble. For example, the bot is only able to let users speak to one match at a time. 'With an app, we are able to introduce concurrent matches, letting people explore multiple connections at once,' said Chua. And while users can only experience a simple chat interface on Telegram, an app allows for custom interfaces that could stimulate more thoughtful conversations, and even introduce game-like elements to inspire more playful interactions. The app, though, does not spell the end of the amble Telegram bot. Noting that some users preferred the bot's simplicity on Telegram, Chua said she is exploring ways to keep it as an option alongside the app. 'But moving forward, the app will be our focus – because it allows us to build amble the way we've always envisioned it, without compromises,' said Chua. - The Straits Times/ANN
