Philippe Starck Designs His 1st Shower-Toilet Seat

Philippe Starck is no newcomer to the world of personal hygiene and care. He first got involved with the bathroom and cleansing arena in year 1994 when he joined forces with Duravit, the German manufacturer of bathroom and wellness products. The resulting “Edition 1” is a highlight of modern bathroom culture and has long since become a classic. With the Starck 2 (1998) and Starck 3 (2002) ranges, Starck and Duravit set new standards in terms of affordability by offering outstanding design at prices that had previously been the preserve of faceless, no-name products. So all that remained was to create a range for the luxury segment, and Starck did just that in year 2004. Drawing on abundant resources, always seeking things as yet unforeseen, he designed the Starck X range.

From the simple towel holder to the luxury whirl tub – all the bathroom furnishings bear Starck’s signature at different price levels. Always searching for new design dimensions, he is now combining his vision of “good design” with a new level of comfort for Europe in terms of hygiene and purity. On May 26, 2010, the designer presented his first shower-toilet seat, the SensoWash Starck, in Shanghai.

Sophisticated symbiosis of WC and bidet

His interpretation of “good design” resulted in a shower-toilet seat with an unusually flat and slim line design that curves gently up into the wall and that finishes in an elegant silver-coloured panel. To ensure the continuous flow of the clear lines, the technical components have been miniaturised so the entire technology fits between the ceramic body and the seat. It’s only when you actually look inside the WC that you see the stainless steel spray wand that is part of the bidet function.

There are three different types of wash to choose from:

• The Ladywash uses a water jet for a particularly gentle wash that is specially designed to meet the needs of female users.

• The Rearwash leaves you feeling fresh and clean.

• The Comfortwash offers a more attentive wash that cleanses with the forward and backward movement of the spray wand or with a pulsating water jet.

Water temperature, water volume and spray wand position can all be individually adjusted. After feeling clean and fresh, the next stage is the warm, drying air. The spray wand and nozzles are cleaned automatically before and after each use. As a preventative measure, both the stainless steel spray wand and the WC seat have anti-microbial properties. The entire unit can be easily removed for cleaning.

Starck attached particular importance to the design of the wireless, intuitive remote control, which can be used to operate all functions, ranging from the Comfortwash to the Warm Air Dryer.

The remote control as a design element

A silver-coloured, elegant cuboid no bigger than your hand, the remote control becomes a design element in everyday use. Thanks to a membrane keypad, the keys are extremely flat and feel pleasant to the touch. The three-dimensional alignment of the remote control enables a logical layout of the keys that, thanks to clear symbols, are operated intuitively – when selected, the symbols are briefly illuminated. The remote control can be used to open and close the lid of the WC at the push of a button.

The seat itself is heated and the temperature can be individually controlled; a sensor makes sure that it doesn’t get too hot. Once you’ve taken a seat, you can select the desired wash function or dryer by remote control. Use the arrow keys to change the position of the spray arm. Water pressure and dryer, seat and water temperature can be individually adjusted via the +/- keys. However, to facilitate things even more, personal preferences can be stored in two profiles, which can then be selected at a later date. There is also a central stop key to interrupt all functions. When the remote control is no longer needed, it can be returned to the cradle with magnetic holder where it is stored neatly until the next use.

The SensoWash (L-R): With the remote control, one can open and close the lid of the WC; The LED night-light function; When the remote control is no longer needed, it can be returned to the cradle with magnetic holder where it is stored.

Safety and power saving mode

Duravit paid particular attention to safety. An LED night-light function provides the necessary orientation without waking the body fully from sleep. In addition, the shower-toilet seat has a child safety feature which prevents unwanted splashing.

There is a sensor integrated in the seat that only allows the function to be used when it recognises a “real” user. Temperature sensors for water, water heating and the Warm Air Dryer offer triple protection. The electronics are waterproof-moulded and so are completely safe. An in-built fuse offers protection in the event of any electrical problems. SensoWash Starck also includes a standby mode and a power-saving mode.

Dialysis Centre With 'A Difference'

The plush reclining chairs provide comfort while the flat-screen televisions with wireless headsets (two patients to one television) provide patients with entertainment while undergoing their treatment.

The soft lighting and pleasant ambience was purposefully added to offer patients a warm and welcoming environment. Refreshments are also made available.

Welcome to the B. Braun Avitum Centre in Puchong, Selangor.

B. Braun Avitum Renal Services Sdn Bhd's chief operations officer Lynette Lim said the B. Braun Avitum Dialysis Centre (BBA) is committed to provide patients with optimum care and quality services.

The centre is equipped with a trained team of healthcare professionals who utilise state-of-the-art facilities built to stringent international patient safety specifications.

The company has branches in Puchong, Selangor, Tawau in Sabah and Butterworth, Penang. Another, in Kota Kinabalu is set to be operational this month.

The Puchong centre opened its doors to the public on April 1 2009. The Tawau centre followed suit in October the same year while that in Butterworth made its bow in April this year.

COMPETENCE IN HEALTHCARE

Lim said the B. Braun Group stands for 'competence in healthcare'.

"For more than 165 years, the company has been researching, developing, producing and distributing products and services for the healthcare industry worldwide.

"Among others, B. Braun's orthopedic implants are widely used by patients sponsored by the Public Services Department (JPA)," she said.

B. Braun operates a manufacturing plant in Penang. This plant, which started operations in 1980, has grown into a sizable investment of more than RM850 million.

She said that despite the global economic downturn, B. Braun in exercising its commitment to the industry and its Malaysian workforce, will continue to grow its operations by expanding its production plant in Penang over the next two years with an additional investment of RM300 million.

"B. Braun Avitum is focused in the area of Extracorporeal Blood Treatment. This entails the development, manufacturing and marketing of products and systems for haemodialysis, therapeutic apheresis and acute dialysis treatments.

"We also provide a comprehensive range of support and consultancy services backed with valuable know-how and years of experience in the dialysis market domestically and internationally," she said.

According to Lim, B. Braun Avitum has a proven track record with many years of experience in dialysis treatment and expertise worldwide, with established dialysis centres in Europe, South Africa and Asia Pacific.

DIALOG + MACHINES

Lim said the centre is equip with B. Braun's Dialog+ hemodialysis machines.

"All Dialog+ machines come with pyrogen filters and battery back up".

B. Braun machines provide intelligent blood pressure stabilisation for more comfortable therapy. It is said to be the only system on the market that measures a patient's blood pressure directly - a feature which makes the procedure especially safe and reliable, she said.

"This option markedly reduces the incidence of hypotensive episodes and symptoms during dialysis sessions. Moreover, the technology used cuts the number of blood pressure measurements in half. The added benefit is greater comfort for patients"

DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Puchong centre is equipped with B. Braun's Nexadia Expert data management system which is a powerful and user-friendly database for dialysis centre data management.

Operation of Nexadia Expert is intuitive. Functions include the editing and archiving of all treatment and patient-related data and preparation of the documentation required for quality assurance and reporting to the National Renal Registry.

"An ultra-pure RO (reverse osmosis) machine will be installed at our centre to ensure high water quality. This system uses double filtration to provide better water quality by reducing endotoxin levels, therefore, reducing the risk of patient infection.

"Our centre also has a separate room specifically for the management of patients with hepatitis.

All equipment used in this room is segregated and only single use consumables and dialysers for hepatitis patients are used. This is to reduce the risk of sero-conversion at the centre," said Lim.

COSTS

Lim said the cost to set up a B. Braun Avitum Centre is about RM700,000.

"There are 10 machines in each centre and we adhere to the medical authorities' guideline of one nurse to six patients. The centre operates from 7 am until 5.30 pm".

She said the centre charges RM175 per dialysis session from Monday to Saturday. There are two shifts.

For the BBA Dialysis Centre in Puchong, there is one nephrologist (visiting consultant), a doctor, three nurses and one dialysis technician available.

Transport is provided within Puchong area (within 5km radius of the centre).

The Puchong centre is at No. 8-0 Jalan Puteri 4/2 Bandar Puteri, Puchong, 47100 Selangor (tel no:03-80600863).

Puchong is a main town in Petaling district, Selangor in Malaysia. Puchong used to be a rubber estate and tin-mining town about 40 years ago. Up until about 20 years ago, Puchong consists of only one two-lane road running through estates and villages. Since then, urbanization has occurred rapidly in recent years with many industrial parks, commercial centres and residential areas mushrooming along Jalan Puchong, the main road.

Puchong is situated midway between the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's commercial capital, and Putrajaya, the administrative capital. Due to its location, Puchong is expected to witness further developments in the near future. Puchong already serves as a residential suburb for two cities, Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. New townships, such as Bandar Puchong Jaya, Pusat Bandar Puchong, Puchong Hartamas, Puchong Utama, Puchong Prima, Bandar Bukit Puchong, Saujana Puchong and Bandar Puteri Puchong, are sprouting from once-abandoned lands, ex-plantation land and cleared-forest areas, contributing to the population boom witnessed in recent years in Puchong. At an estimate, Puchong has a population of about 335,419 (the largest township is Puchong Jaya with a population of about 39,473).

Prasarana Given Approval To Build LRT Lines

Work on the LRT extension from the Kelana Jaya line to USJ 20 in Subang Jaya and the Ampang line from Sri Petaling to Taman Puchong Prima will start soon.

Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) has been given the approval for both lines from the Department of Railways.

There will be 13 stations for each of the two lines.

Prasarana group managing director Datuk Idrose Mohamed said they had their public hearing for three months beginning Sept 15 last year.

“The proposed lines were displayed at various locations of the local authorities,” Idrose told reporters at his office in Bangsar yesterday.

“We received a lot of feedback from the public and stakeholders while meetings were also held with residents on their objections raised.

“Both the federal and state governments ordered us to study the objections raised and how we can overcome the issues. We gave solutions and approval was granted,” he said.

On the remaining “unapproved” sections, Idrose said discussions were being held with the state and federal governments and hoped to obtain approval soon after all issues and residents’ concerns were sorted out.

For the Kelana Jaya line, the first phase of construction work covering 9.2km will be from the Kelana Jaya station to USJ near the Kesas highway.

For the Ampang line, the first phase is from the Sri Petaling station to Kinrara 3 covering 7.4km.

Work to relocate telecommunication cables, TNB underground cables and high voltage transmission lines, water mains, sewerage and gas pipes is expected to start in mid-July.

Idrose said work on both the lines would start simultaneously and was expected to be completed in three years.

He said the exact time frame would be clearer once approval for the remaining sections was obtained and tender called in September.

He added that there would be 800 to 1,500 parking bays depending on the location of the stations and the ridership.

Some stations are being integrated and some with just drop-off bays without the park-and-ride facility.

Feel-Good Ice Cream

If you're looking for great tasting homemade ice cream in Kuala Lumpur, you've come to the right place. Made with 100% natural ingredients, we combine our creamy French-style ice cream with the regional Asian flavours we love.

Mango

Our best-selling flavour, every scoop will remind you of Asia's favourite fruit. We could have taken the easy way out and made this a fruit sorbet, but instead we purée fresh and juicy mangoes, then add cream and eggs to turn it all into the delightful creamy mango ice cream that's become much-loved by our friends and family.

Horlicks

Whether it's the comfort of a warm drink before bedtime as a kid, or the memories of a Horlicks Ais "gao" at your favourite mamak, Horlicks ice cream makes our world go round and we hope it does for yours, too. We love it so much it was the obsession with perfecting Horlicks ice cream that got us started in the first place.

Green Tea

Also known as matcha ice cream, our version is intense and creamy at the same time, the better to bring out the best of this Asian classic. Made with top quality green tea leaves, make our green tea ice cream a special treat at any time of the day.

Malt and Peanut Butter

We've been alive quite a while and have yet to meet a single person who didn't love peanut butter. We made this ice cream for those of you who, like us, love dipping your fingers into a peanut butter jar. Not only are you spared the sticky fingers, it's like eating peanut butter ice cold.

White Coffee

The nation's favourite drink at the moment, white coffee is so named because they roast beans without sugar up in Ipoh, resulting in a lighter coloured coffee than regular kopi. Light it may be in hue, but every spoonful packs a punch. This is the ice cream for lovers of local coffee!

Black Sesame

An acquired taste, people who love black sesame ice cream know they're on to something. It's weird at first crunch, but we guarantee you'll love it in no time. We slow roast black sesame seeds, pound them into a fine paste, sprinkle extra sesame for that special crunch, then turn that all into one of our best ice cream flavours ever.

SummerGlades - Everyday Is A Getaway

Summer time is the season that is most loved and looked forward to for its blue skies, glorious greenery and its vacation opportunities. And though it’s summer all year round in Malaysia, the idea of summer as a time to getaway for relaxation and have fun, still holds its magic for each of us.

In Cyberjaya, the name ‘SummerGlades’ will soon grace a residential enclave that is heavily surrounded by lush greenery. With 40% of the project area green compared to a standard 10% in others, this is one of Malaysia’s greenest residential projects around.

SummerGlades will include a 6-acre wetland, 10 unique gardens, a fruit farm and jogging and cycling tracks surrounded by lush landscape and tall trees with the majestic Putrajaya Lake just across the street. Also, the guarded community is protected by 24 hour surveillance, guards and perimeter fencing.

Extra low-density

There are only 3 or 4 houses on every block and each unit is next to a garden or open green area. This ensures a sense of space and exclusiveness throughout the entire development. There are only 137 freehold units of 2-storey superlink terrace villas in the project. Priced from RM680,000 (indicative), average built-up area is 3,000 square feet. Land size for intermediate units are 24 by 80 feet, corner units are 34 by 80 feet and some units have larger land size.

Expected to be launched in the next few months, the 23-acre freehold project is designed by GSD Architect, the award winning architect who designed Lake Edge Puchong, Twin Palms and Amelia in Desa Park City.

Direct highway to KL

With the completion of Maju Expressway (dedicated Putrajaya Highway), Cyberjaya is now only a 20-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur. It is connected to the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE), North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), North South Expressway (NSE) and B15 road extension through Dengkil.

Whether working, studying or living here, you’ll find good food and good shopping all in downtown Cyberjaya. Many restaurants have sprung up in the city from Arabic eateries to fast-food joints and the ever present “mamak” stalls. Shopping malls are a short drive away such as the Jusco in Equine Park, Sri Kembangan, Alamanda Shopping Mall in Putrajaya or even the IOI Mall located in Puchong. There are also local and international schools, smart schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, hotels, community clubs and sports centre nearby.

Suntrack Development Sdn Bhd has been creating value for their customers in the property business for the last 8 years and has completed several residential and commercial projects in the Klang Valley. Please view their website at http://www.suntrack.com.my/.

Council To Receive RM2.2mil Allocation

The federal government has allocated RM2.2mil to the Subang Jaya Municipal Council to implement a Safe City Programme.

We are one of the 12 local councils chosen to receive the allocation in the country through the crime National Key Result Areas (NKRA).

With the funds, we will be able to take preventive measures at crime hotspots identified by the police.

Among the measures include installing more streetlights, safety mirrors and alarms at crime-prone zones and separating pedestrian paths from motor lanes with barriers or plants.

Last Friday, we conducted a site visit with OCPD Subang Jaya Asst Comm Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar to conduct crime-mapping.

A total of 12 crime hotspots in Subang Jaya and Puchong were pinpointed.

With the crime statistics presented, we will then decide on what has to be done in the specific areas.

We will be forming a Safe City Programme sub-committee — comprising councillors, police, Immigration Department, TNB, and Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation — to monitor and coordinate the implementation of the programme.

We hope the close cooperation between the MPSJ and the police will help curb crime in areas under the MPSJ’s jurisdiction.

The programme will be ongoing until the zero crime rate is achieved.

Another RM1.15mil was also allocated by the Housing and Local Government Ministry to upgrade 77 bus stops.

We have identified the bus stops and are appointing contractors for the project.
