| Flowers sold via the Internet worries florists Posted: 14 Feb 2014 11:48 AM PST SIBU: Sprouting online sales of flowers has become a cause for concern to florists selling flowers the conventional way. Florist Johnny Wong noted the younger generation preferred to shop online for flowers. "With web-based technologies such as Facebook, wechat and so on, youngsters can source and purchase for the item they require at the click of the mouse. "And they can do so at their own convenience and pace," Wong said when asked on their major competitors. He added: "Online traders can afford to price their flowers lower as they do not have fixed cost. "But we have to pay for shop rental, wages and other expenses." Wong, however, urged shoppers to be cautious when shopping online. "For example, a bouquet of flowers may appear very appealing online but when you receive the item, it is a different story altogether," he claimed. He noted the prices of flowers offered online were volatile unlike those with physical shops at stable prices. Wong also said the presence of seasonal florists during Valentine's Day, Ching Ming Festival and so on had also affected their sales. He observed that people were more prudent in their spending these days. "I foresee tougher times next year when Valentine's Day falls few days before the Lunar New Year," he lamented.

| 4-year-old boy suffers cuts to lip, face in explosion Posted: 14 Feb 2014 11:35 AM PST KUCHING: A four-year-old boy was left with cuts to his lip and face after being struck by an exploding aerosol from a pile of burning garbage yesterday morning. The young boy was accompanying his grandmother, who was clearing the compound of her house at Pengkalan Kuap in Muara Tuang here, when the incident happened around 10am. The grandmother was said to have had no idea that the pile of rubbish she was burning contained an empty can of insecticide, and was shocked when it exploded and struck her grandson in the face. She immediately contacted the boy's parents, who were out at the time, prompting them to rush home before sending him to the Sarawak General Hospital for treatment. In an unrelated case, a factory worker suffered serious facial injuries after he was struck by a loose blade at his workplace in Sri Aman yesterday. The 30-something local man was said to be cutting steel rods at the factory in Sungai Pantu when the blade he was using somehow came loose and sliced his left cheek open. He was immediately rushed to the Sri Aman hospital before being referred to the Sarawak General Hospital here for further treatment.
