FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour - Malaysia Leg


Treats for die-hard soccer fanz…

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is the international governing body of football. In 1928, the FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to stage an international football tournament. The inaugural edition, 1st time held in Uruguay in 1930, was contested as a final tournament as only 13 teams invited by the organization. Since then, the FIFA World Cup has evolved into current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving almost 200 teams from all over the world. Click here for details.

Thanks to Astrolife, I had an lifetime opportunity to view the authentic FIFA trophy with my bare eyes in MidValley, Kuala Lumpur on 29 Jan 2010.

The World Cup Trophy Tour (WCTT) is set to bring excitement to thousands of fans across the globe ahead of the games in South Africa through an unprecedented nine-month journey to 89 cities across 86 nations.

Toyota: What to Do When Accelerator Pedal Stuck?

Did you owned any Toyota car on the list below?

Certain 2009-2010 RAV4

Certain 2009-2010 Corolla/ Altis

2009-2010 Matrix

2005-2010 Avalon

Certain 2007-2010 Camry

Certain 2010 Highlander

2007-2010 Tundra

2008-2010 Sequoia

If yes, no need to freak out. Early January, Toyota in USA, Europe and China, had been issued massive safety recall on 8 affected models as listed above due to accelerator pedals stuck while driving. For details, please read here.

On their official website, Toyota had issue recommendations on what to do should the problem arise while driving. Excerpt from the official FAQ as below:

Each circumstance may vary, and drivers must use their best judgment, but Toyota recommends taking one of the following actions:

1. If you need to stop immediately, the vehicle can be controlled by stepping on the brake pedal with both feet using firm and steady pressure. Do not pump the brake pedal as it will deplete the vacuum utilized for the power brake assist.

2. Shift the transmission gear selector to the Neutral (N) position and use the brakes to make a controlled stop at the side of the road and turn off the engine.

3. If unable to put the vehicle in Neutral, turn the engine OFF. This will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost.

4. If the vehicle is equipped with an Engine Start/Stop button, firmly and steadily push the button for at least three seconds to turn off the engine. Do NOT tap the Engine Start/Stop button.

5. If the vehicle is equipped with a conventional key-ignition, turn the ignition key to the ACC position to turn off the engine. Do NOT remove the key from the ignition as this will lock the steering wheel.
