Towards the end of 2014, Malaysia's State of Kelantan experienced the biggest flood disaster ever since 30 years or more. Although it was a result of unusual heavy rainfall, it was likely exacerbated by the extensive loss of forests which in turn accelerated the sedimentation of rivers due to surface runoffs from extensive land clearing.
Forests, being the largest terrestrial storage of carbon and the third largest source of carbon emissions after coal and oil, play a vital role in the fight against global warming. Forest lost contributes up to 20% of global carbon emissions - more than the total emissions of all the cards, trucks, trains, planes and ships in the world combined. Climate change in turn may damage forests, for instance by drying out tropical rainforests and increasing fire damage on the forests.
Situated in Northern Perak, Belum-Temengor is approximately 130 million years old and is thought to be one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Encompassing an area of about four times the size of Singapore, it is one of the only three priority sites for tigers under the National Tiger Conservation Action Plan for Malaysia.
The Belum-Temengor forst is also home to all 10 hornbill species found in Malaysia and is an important habitat for large mamals such as the Malayan tiger, gaur, sambar deer and elephant. The only permanent human inhabitants within Belum-Temengor are the indigenous Orang Asli.
However, at the moment, only Roayl Belum State Park has been gazetted as a protected area, whilst Temengor Forest Reserve is still designated for logging.

Did Guan Eng Actually Said that ?
Did Guan Eng actually said that 'BN is a coward' or just instigation from the media ?

Eyes Wide Shut: MalayMailOnline: MCA told to shut up
Eyes wide shut...
Not being appreciated and respected, was humiliated instead.
This is a good case study - at the end of the day, even own partners will look down on you, despise you.
Eyes wide shut - it is so obvious but yet you couldn't see.

Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) For The Proposed Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road (KLORR)
The Proposed Project is about constructing and operating a tolled expressway linking Kajang SILK Highway (E18) at the southern side to Karak Expressway (E8) at the northern side of the expressway. It will provide bypass route for inter-urban traffic that do not need to pass through the city centre of Kuala Lumpur for those who intent to travel from the southern part of the Klang Valley (e.g. Cheras, Bangi, Subang) to the northern parts of Kuala Lumpur (e.g. Selayang, Gombak) or vice versa. It also serves as a bypass around Kuala Lumpur for inter-regional traffic from the Karak Highway to other regions. The proposed expressway is part of the planned Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road.
With good design and responsible implementation and management by the Project Proponent, most of these impacts can be reasonably minimised with appropriate mitigation and control measures as proposed in this report. The proposed monitoring programmes to be carried out will ensure that criteria and standards of environmental quality are observed and abided by the project proponent throughout the project’s life. It is important that this project be carried out in full compliance with all the conditions set by DOE and the relevant regulatory agencies.
The KLORR Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) is available for public review and comments. The proposed alignment of the KLORR will cut through some parts of the Selangor State Park, a park that provides vital ecosystem services to the people residing in the Klang Valley. The park acts as the main water catchment forests, providing water to Klang Valley residents and harbours rich biodiversity. It is an environmentally sensitive area.
If you are concerned about the development of this road within the Selangor State Park, please take this opportunity to review the DEIA (Executive Summary) at http://gis.doe.gov.my/eia2/Upload_folder/Ex_Su/ExecutiveSummaryklorr.pdf and provide comments to the Department of Environment by 23rd January, 2012.

Cansurvive Provides Free Workshops With People Living With Cancer
Cansurvive is an NGO that aims to help you get informed, to be a one stop educational and support centre for bridging allopathic and complimentary approaches to wellbeing so that you can make informed decisions about how to best lead your life.
Anne Munro-Kua Transformations facilitates free workshops with people living with cancer, with plans for working with health practitioners. This year I have had the joy of running 4 such workshops and working with a number of individuals to explore ways to be able to "Laugh and relax even though I have cancer". Each time I engage in such sessions, I am humbled and encouraged by the commitment of the people I work with, many of whom now see "cancer as a gift", an opportunity to be empowered and really turn their lives around.

TNT Charity Hunt - Call for entries
TNT Express in Malaysia today announces calls for entry to the TNT Charity Hunt being held on 18 December 2011 (Sunday) and benefitting Precious Children’s Home and Shelter Home Malaysia.
The TNT Charity Hunt proudly organised by TNT Express in Malaysia and supported by Mail Boxes Etc Sdn Bhd aims to raise RM20,000 for Shelter Home Malaysia and Precious Children’s Home. The amount raised will be used for the rehabilitation and education of children-at-risk and empower them to get ahead in life.
At only RM250 per team of four and over RM10,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, the TNT Charity Hunt promises to be a family and friends day filled with fun as teams race to solve clues and find their way to the treasure, while raising money for children-at-risk.

Precious Children’s Home currently houses 32 children ranging from four to 18 years of age. They are housed at two separate homes. The main home has 14 kids aged four to 12 and there are 18 kids aged 13 to 18 in a second home. The children come from various races and backgrounds. They all attend school, from kindergarten to secondary school. These children are mostly orphans from the streets or whose parents are drug addicts, alcoholics, undergoing rehabilitation program or who are in prison.
SHELTER is a registered, voluntary welfare organisation for children and teenagers who have been abandoned, neglected, orphaned or abused. They are guided by the vision to give children at risk the best possible childhood and future by protecting, guiding and healing them, and by building strong communities and loving families.

Kidney Transplant Recipients Feel Grateful For Her Life
When Lim Chu Ee was 10 years old, she suffered a viral fever, which left her weak and unable to lead a normal life. Little did she realise that it would be a life changing experience. Enrolled into a Chinese school, and enjoying her life as a school girl, with many friends and a happy family, it was an earth shattering experience to be informed by her doctor that her kidneys had failed as a result of the illness.
Out of the blue in 1996, her parents received a phone call requesting them to make a trip to KL as a child had died and the parents were willing to donate her kidneys. Lim and her parents made the journey, hoping for good news and they were not disappointed. Lim was one of the lucky recipients and the other kidney went to another school girl, known only to Lim as 'Haslina' They became good friends over the 3 months hospitalized in HKL.

Can we move on beyond the C.I.M.B ?
Refer to 'Start of Lim’s Malay dilemma'
I am in my 30s now, and I have heard this same old story for over 20 years, perhaps even more than that. It is just same old.
Can we move beyond the C.I.M.B ?
The was a joke that the CIMB Bank was formed by 3 Malaysians, and they go by the name of Chin_a,Ind_iana and Mal_ik.
So, they call the bank as CIM Bank.
On a serious note, Malaysia is still same old.
