Our Staff:
*Bob*
Bob McKean is in charge of the Marine Section.
He is a very experienced sailor on both Monohulls and Multihulls, his last boat being a 44 ft catamaran, and has sailed the waters around Malaysia for almost 20 years. His position and activities as a well-known Yacht Broker, has enabled him to obtain a lot of contacts and valuable information relating to the Marine Sector.
We cannot think of anyone else who is more suitable to take care of
this section of our site and we are very happy to have him ‘on board’.

*Uli*
Uli Erhart (from the NEWAY LTD) will act as our ‘Field Worker’: visiting you and explaining you, how your business can profit from the Langkawi Gazette and how you can get the best conditions.
She also has started to build up our ‘rent-in-langkawi.com’ website (a part of the Langkawi Gazette). If you have a house or apartment to rent out, or a piece of land to sell, she will come and take a few pictures and get the basic information, so we can effectively promote it for you.
You will find Uli a very nice and easy to talk to person who will understand your concerns and is well qualified to help you. If you want her to visit you for any of the above reasons, you can use ‘contact’ or write to her directly at newayltd@rocketmail.com .
*Mathijs*
Mathijs Nanne: Mathijs practically takes over our Restaurant Guide section from Shirley, as Shirley who is now in Penang, has not the time to do it anymore.
Mathijs has already started to write Restaurant Reports – and does so in a very interesting and qualified way (he works himself as a Chef in Pantai Cenang ! ). He will show the rich and broad spectrum of food in Langkawi, validate all the good and great things and may be sometimes give a tip, what a certain restaurant could do even better (but in a very positive and balanced way) . . . If you have a restaurant and would like to have a ‘Food Tasting’ to get a Restaurant Report in the Langkawi Restaurant Guide, please just use ‘contact’.

(Picture above)
After having lived on a big old Sailing Yacht, a 52 ft Cat for 7 years, I finally settled down in Langkawi. So what to do – la? What project could I work on that would be beneficial for the whole Island? Then, I remembered the time when I changed the engines on my boat and tried to find someone who was interested in buying my old engines. I had to go and find the notice boards at the Yacht Club, the Pier Restaurant and Telaga Harbour. I should have gone to Rebak Marina too, but I was too lazy. I thought to myself: "Why this Island doesn not have a single communication tool?". That was when the idea of this website was born.
