Explore Hokkaido - Sapporo Here We Come Again - Day 6

Back to Toyako Onsen Bus Terminal to catch the coach to Sapporo where we have made a reservation for two seats to Sapporo and as advised by the staff a day earlier to make such booking to avoid any disappointment.
Day 6 started with a morning leisure ride around Toya where we visited a hot hand bath located at GPS : 42.565355, 140.821101
Back to Daiwa Ryokan to pack our stuff checking out at 10.00am (which seems to be the case in most places in Japan)
It's goodbye to Daiwa Ryokan for two nights in a family run hotel and it would be good if the owner could refurbish the rooms for a better place to stay. 
We still have ample time to spend as our bus to Sapporo was scheduled at 12:10pm, so we went cruising the surrounding looking for interesting spots and came across an observatory park.
Jo went for a stroll along a trail to check out some of the abandoned apartments that were damaged by a volcanic eruption in 2000. The weather was ideal for a walk. I could also see a sheet piled wall structure constructed to prevent any possible flow of volcanic mud/ashes.
We simply love the food here and were back again for another meal before we leave Lake Toya.
 The yummy lunch at the same restaurant for the second visit.
The new era - The abdication of Emperor Akihito on April 30 2019 and the enthronement of his eldest son Naruhito the following day as the 126th emperor of Japan, was a landmark event.
I love eggs and these eggs sold at the Bus Ternimal were boiled with natural hot spring water at a temperature of 92°C. I had of 2 of them.
The fare was 2,780¥ which is about RM100.00 each. Time to bade goodbye to Lake Toya and it was indeed a good visit to this part of the world.
The next 2 hours plus in a comfort of Donan Bus setting to Sapporo with couple of stops at resorts which are mostly ski resorts.
The bus journey was rather interesting with lovely scenery and a chance to see the places covered with snow especially at the stretches passing by the mountainous area in the vicinity of Mount Sapporo. A  stop for toilet break where I had the opportunity to take a close snap of the surrounding.
The distance from Toyako to Sapporro is slight more 100km and we arrived safely at Sapporo Bus Terminal which is just next to the main Train Station.
The Bromptons were back on the streets of Sapporo and I set my Oregon device to find our accommodation which is estimated to be 3km from Sapporo Terminal.
We were two days earlier from our original schedule and had pre-booked this family run accommodation at Almaz Place. The owner is Masashi San staying in the upper most floor with his family. Masashi San mentioned that he has visited Kuala Lumpur before and had enjoyed very much in Malaysia. I love Almaz Place it is cosy and well equipped. Our bicycles were kept at a store underneath the staircase.
 The cosy studio room of Almaz Place.
Food & drink for the evening.

After having checked into Almaz Place we visited a supermarket to get some food and drinks. I was glad to use his box to carry our purchase. Boxes are available at the supermarket and given free for those who need them. That's is all for Day 6 and we were ready to further explore the city of Sapporo.

DENDA RM40,000 PALSUKAN TANDATANGAN [METROTV]

Jurutera didenda RM40,000 palsu tandatangan berhubung pembinaan bangle

KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang jurutera sebuah syarikat perunding pembinaan didenda RM40,000 oleh Mahkamah Sesyen di sini hari ini selepas mengaku bersalah atas pertuduhan memalsukan tandatangan pada sebuah dokumen berhubung cadangan pembinaan sebuah banglo.

Hakim Azura Alwi menjatuhkan hukuman itu ke atas Toh Hwee Sheng, 46, dan memerintahkannya dipenjara enam bulan jika gagal membayar denda itu.

Toh didakwa dengan curangnya menggunakan suatu dokumen sebagai tulen iaitu sebuah buku ‘Structure Design Calculation’ bertarikh 2 Ogos 2014 berhubung kiraan dan pelan struktur bagi cadangan membina sebuah banglo dua setengah tingkat di atas Lot PT 1, No 1, Jalan 5, Selayang Baru, Mukim Batu, Gombak, Selangor daripada Lieng Consult kepada Datuk Yip Kum Fook iaitu pemilik tanah yang mempunyai sebab untuk mempercayai dokumen itu adalah palsu.

Tertuduh didakwa melakukan kesalahan itu antara 2 hingga 12 Ogos 2014, di No 2A & B, Jalan 53, Desa Jaya Kepong di sini, mengikut Seksyen 471 Kanun Keseksaan yang boleh dihukum di bawah Seksyen 465 kanun sama yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara maksimum dua tahun atau denda atau kedua-duanya.

Pegawai Pendakwa Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Mohd Aliff Shaharuzaman memohon hukuman setimpal bagi memberi pengajaran kepada tertuduh kerana amalan pemalsuan dan meniru tandatangan pemilik syarikat adalah kesalahan serius dan menjadi barah dalam masyarakat jika tidak ditangani.

Tertuduh yang tidak diwakili peguam merayu hukuman denda dikenakan ke atasnya dengan jumlah yang minimum kerana dia mempunyai tanggungan termasuk ibu yang berumur 76 tahun.

“Ini adalah kesalahan pertama dan saya tiada rekod jenayah. Saya amat kesal dan insaf atas kesalahan ini dan berjanji tidak akan mengulanginya lagi, jadi saya mohon hukuman denda minimum tanpa hukuman penjara,” katanya.

Mengikut fakta kes, pada 2013, Yip Kum Fook iaitu bekas Ahli Majlis Perbandaran Selayang mengarahkan syarikat tertuduh bekerja iaitu Lieng Consult menyediakan Borang A, Kiraan Struktur dan Pelan Struktur bagi cadangan membina sebuah banglo dua setengah tingkat di atas lot tersebut, namun penyediaan dokumen itu tanpa pengetahuan Lieng Wei Ming selaku pemilik syarikat.

Lieng memaklumkan semua dokumen itu tidak dikeluarkan oleh syarikatnya dan mengesahkan tandatangan pada dokumen itu juga bukan miliknya.

Selain itu, tertuduh juga menerima wang RM10,000 daripada Yip atas pembayaran kerja yang dilakukan iaitu menyediakan semua dokumen itu dan hasil semakan Bahagian Forensik SPRM mengesahkan tandatangan pada dokumen ‘Structure Design Calculation’ adalah berbeza dengan spesimen tandatangan diambil daripada Lieng. -Bernama

Kerajaan Malaysia akan memeriksa Yip Kum Fook (peguam dan presiden Samnak Sambodhi atau persatuan Buddha, Taman Desa Jaya, kepong) kerana peguam ini menipu orang di mana-mana......Yip Kum Fook & Associates, Kuala Lumpur... No. 2A & B, Jalan 53, Desa Jaya, Kepong, 52100, Kuala Lumpur, WP Kuala Lumpur
