HIGH-POWERED MOTORCYCLES FOR LIMA '09 VISITORS

LANGKAWI, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- Eleven high-powered motorcycles have been
prepared for use by visitors to the 2009 Langkawi International Maritime and
Aerospace Exhibition (Lima '09) to avoid traffic congestion, said Defence
Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said he suggested the measure after he visited the Le Bourget air show in
Paris recently.

"When I was in Paris, I saw how effective it was to use motorcycles to get
around to avoid traffic congestion," he said.

Ahmad Zahid said he expected 50,000 visitors to be at the exhibition.

He said this to reporters here Monday after officiating the Air Chiefs
Conference in conjunction with the exhibition that will begin Tuesday until Dec
5.
