24/4/2010
Johor Bahru - Alister McRae is headed for a grandstand finish as he takes the lead midway through the Malaysian leg of the Asia Pacific Rally championship at the Tai Tak Estate in Kota Tinggi.
The fear of heavy rain, which the weathermen had predicted, didn't really come true and
the 39-year old Alister with his co-driver Bill Hayes steered their Proton Satria Neo S2000 to take a 27 second lead going to into the final round on Sunday.
Driving under the Proton R3 Malaysia banner, Alister never really looked back, taking
the opening stage in convincing style and went on to finish strongly with Japan's Katsu Taguchi lying second overall. HERE

 JOHOR…
The city is connected to Singapore by road and rail via a modern
and scenic Causeway as well as the Second Link; Johor Bahru (JB)
is also the Peninsula's southern gateway.
Consisting
of a diverse ethnic mix of races, JB offers the visitor heritage
attractions, colourful culture, delectable local cuisine, shopping
excitement, pulsing nightlife and exhilarating recreational activities.
Popular with
local and foreign tourists alike, JB boasts a myriad of landmarks,
such as The Grand Palace or Royal Abu Bakar Museum and houses a
splendid array of priceless treasures, antiques and heirlooms of
the Royal Collection.
The "Ghazal"
music, which is unique to Johor, is usually performed during cultural
shows and weddings. Another famous performance distinctly Johorean
is the "Kuda Kepang" dance, which is spun from tales of
Islamic heroes. Dancers imitate the movement of horses to the music
of a traditional orchestra.
Shopping opportunities
abound in JB. Modern malls, arcades, handicraft centres, bazaars
and flea markets offering international and local products all vie
for attention. Local craftwork is sure to catch the eye and they
do make lovely souvenirs of a trip to the South.
