Updated:2007-07-19 17:47:27 MYT

The new 7 wonders voted by millions of Internet users are really not up to standard.

Actually they could just make thing simpler, as the "new 7 wonders" are just before our eyes. If the 7 wonders to be chosen from Malaysia, it should have less controversies than the online voting.

1. Tropical Water Village: After a great thunderstorm in the afternoon, Kuala Lumpur will be "immersed" in water.

At that moment, Kuala Lumpur will become like Venice. Tourists can see inverted reflection of KLCC Twin Towers and KL Tower in the water. It is wavy and swaying.

We can suggest to the Ministry of Tourism of the boat services. The ministry can recruit fishing boats and hundreds of boatman from all over Malaysia.

Starting from KLCC Twin Towers, the boatman who is wearing Songkok and Sari will be singing while bringing his passengers to the Golden Triangle of Bukit Bintang and finally stops at Merdeka Square.

If the tourists are not yet satisfied, they can go to the underground parking of Merdeka Square. It is the world's first underground swimming and snorkeling pool. Cars immersed in the water can be used for treasure hunt.

2. The Wonder of Mice and Human : Gurney Drive of Penang is full of mice and human, but they do not interfere each others. Instead, they appreciate one another and it can become a role model for ecology.

While the tourists are enjoying Penang cuisine in Gurney Drive, hundreds of mice are rushing between their feet. They are eating with their mouths, and at the same time their feet are moving up and down, playing hide-and-seek with mice. They are staying happily together.

In addition, we can propose to Tourism Penang that they should encourage the food stalls to obtain materials from local sources and produce "mice grand feast"!

It could be "rats with three ways of eating": firstly grill the rat skin, and later braise the meat. The rest of the parts could be used to cook rat soup. The second menu is rats potpourri: mince rat meat and stir-fry it with five spices. Thirdly they can make "rats sushi": choose bigger rats, and then stabbed it into thin slides after its skin was peeled. Mix the thin slides with Wasabi and best served while fresh.

3. The Lost of Ma Zu: Kudat in Sabah is searching for the mysterious Ma Zu.

Kudat is located at the northeast of Borneo. Initially there is a Ma Zu statue, but it was later went missing and only the base was left over. Is Ma Zu "flew" to overseas already?

This miracle is comparable to the Apollo statue which keep watch Aegean Sea more than 2,000 years ago. The history of Apollo statue is only available in annals record, and we can no longer see its statue. For centuries, visitors go to the Rhodes Island at the Aegean Sea, but they simply couldn't see the statue.

Even though Kudat's Ma Zu statue is missing, but it can act like the Apollo statue at Rhodes Island, welcoming the tourists. Then they can travel together and search for Ma Zu statue.

4. Thrilled Johor Bahru: It provides an unprecedented horror experience.

Theme parks are famous in the worldwide. However, most of the theme parks are fake and they tend to be formalised. It is difficult to provide true feeling to the tourists.

In this Johor Bahru theme park, the most famous game is snatching. When a tourist is walking on the street, a snatch thief will switch on his motorcycle engine. A self-experienced game which tests your wisdom and courage starts now!

If the tourist successfully catches the snatch thief, with the assistance of other people, he can attack the thief with Wushu freely. Sometimes, the thief could be assaulted until dying.

Not only for justice, but playing Wushu can as well give vent to long-suppressed emotions. It is so refreshing!

However, this theme park is very adventurous. In most cases, tourists have to pay for heavy price. It is the matter of life and death, not wealth.

Well, let's look at Spanish Bull Runs which attracts many tourists annually. The tourists are enjoying themselves in this dangerous game. It seems that Johor Bahru screaming theme park would succeed.

5. Crowd at Shore : Experiencing the ultimate human endurance, and the strong will in fighting for a better future.

Every morning when the sky is still dark, there are thousands of students and those who needs to put food on table, are waiting at the narrow gateway for their better future.

It is a grand view to see more than ten thousands people moving together. When you go closer, you will discover that many of them are weak children walking slowly with a heavy schoolbag and a heavy hand bag.

6. Haze: Seasonal event each year- the hazy sight.

This event is already well-known internationally, and need not to be introduced again.

7. Water World in Parliament Building: Malaysia Parliament building has two major characteristics: First characteristic is water leakage while the second is saliva.

Seven wonders are all available in Malaysia. It is quite surprisingly that the government has failed to notice them, and didn't include them as tourism major events. It's too bad! (Tay Tian Yan/ Sin Chew Daily)
