Malaysia Cat Club

noreply@blogger.com (Syallena) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:26:00 +0000

HOW IT STARTED

The Malaysia Cat Club or Kelab Kucing Malaysia was formed and registered on November 17, 1971 by a few cat fanciers, and was formerly known as "The Malaysian Pedigree Cat Fancy". The founder and first President was Mr. KM Stanley KMN. Most of the early members consist of expatriates, members of the royal families and pedigree cat owners, as members of the masses are unfamiliar with what the cat fancy is all about.

As more and more awareness was created on this subject, the objectives of the Club changes, and more emphasis was made on the welfare of the cats as a whole. As a result, the name of the Club was subsequently changed to the Malaysia Cat Club or Kelab Kucing Malaysia, which was more suitable and more open to those who love and care about cats.

INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATION

Recognizing the need for international exposure and keeping in touch with the developments in the cat fancy, MCC or KKM began its quest for international recognition in 1983. After a thorough scrutiny of MCC's or KKM's Constitution, objectives, registration records and policies, finally in 1985, the Club was accepted to be a full member of the Federation of Internationale Feline or FIFe. Currently, MCC or KKM is the only Club in Asia affiliated to the International Federation because of the Club's commitment to be at par with any other international cat fancy associations. The trust from the federation was extended further when MCC or KKM was given the honor of organizing the FIFe General Assembly and International Judge's Conference, which was successfully conducted in May 1996 in Kucing, Sarawak with the co-operation of the Ministry Of Information and the Sarawak State Government. After 29 years of experience, KKM has grown to over 2000 in membership and with more than 2300 cats registered at the end of 1999, achieving a constant average growth of about 20% over the last 5 years. The experience and guidance from FIFe has benefited members in gaining knowledge on their beloved pets - CATS.

Activities

Besides having the normal International and National Championship cat shows, the club also have some side events for the public to participate so that everyone will enjoy their day with family and friends as they would on a 'Family Day'.

While the judging and exhibiting of cats is going on, the whole atmosphere is bustling with activities as in a carnival. These side events are organized to create interest in cats. It is really fun whenever we have the Cat Show. Members and the public will have fun together when participating in the above contests.

World Wide Fund For Nature WWF

noreply@blogger.com (Syallena) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 09:55:00 +0000

WWF-Malaysia is a national conservation trust that currently runs more than 75 projects covering a diverse range of environmental protection and nature conservation work in Malaysia.

Since 1972, WWF-Malaysia has worked on important conservation projects, from saving endangered species such as tigers and turtles, to protecting our highland forests, rivers and seas. WWF-Malaysia is able to leverage upon conservation expertise worldwide as part of WWF, the global conservation organisation.

Who They Are

Established as a national conservation trust on 13 January 1972, WWF-Malaysia began as a humble two person-organisation. Today, we have more than 100 people working for us – from Kedah to Sabah. Also known as Tabung Alam Malaysia, we are governed by a Board of Trustees. Learn more about us, our history and people.

What They Do

WWF-Malaysia’s early work focused on scientific research of wildlife and important natural habitats. This later expanded to the management of protected areas. Today, our work covers the broader issues of the natural environment, incorporating such aspects as policy work, environmental education, public awareness and campaigns.

Issues we work on:

Species

The tropical rainforests, seas and freshwater ecosystems of Malaysia support a rich and diverse array of both flora and fauna. In fact, Malaysia is recognised as one of 12 mega-diversity countries with many of its species occurring in unusually high densities (for example, there are estimated to be around 1,500 species of terrestrial vertebrates alone). Many of these species are, however, threatened (for example, 14% of Malaysia’s mammals are listed by The World Conservation Union (IUCN) as endangered).

Though WWF-Malaysia does not work exclusively on species-focused projects, these do represent a major component of our work. With such projects taking place throughout Malaysia (from the Northern forests of Peninsular Malaysia to the coastal waters of the South China Sea and over to the valleys of Sabah) we work towards the protection and management of six different species; the tiger, Borneon Pygmy elephant, Sumatran rhinoceros and orang-utan in the forests and both the hawksbill and the green turtles in the seas and on the beaches.

Within the WWF network, all of these species are considered to be “flagships” – that is, as ambassadors for conservation in Malaysia. The common factor that connects them all is that by conserving them, we are also conserving rich habitats and addressing major threats that impact on a variety of associated species. For example, a key requirement for tigers is that its forest home contains enough deer and wild pig as food; conservation of the tiger, then, means protecting deer populations which, in turn, help shape the forests by browsing on vegetation.

Generally speaking, the main threats that these animals face stem from either the loss of their habitat or the removal of individuals from the wild. Poaching, for instance, is an important issue for many of our flagship species: Malaysia’s population of Sumatran rhino, for example, has been almost completely wiped out mainly because of the monetary value of its horn. In fact, illegal trade in wildlife is on the rise in this region of the world. Malaysia, in particular, is a source for much of the international demand, as well as a conduit or trade hub. WWF-Malaysia works together with TRAFFIC-SEA and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks to try and combat a secret army of poachers working in Malaysia.

The following pages will give you a better idea of how WWF-Malaysia works with its partners, including local communities, towards reversing the impacts of these threats and bringing Malaysia’s wildlife back from the brink of extinction.

Forests

Forests cover 30% of the Earth's surface and contain much of the biological diversity found on land – they harbour over two-thirds of known terrestrial species, many of which are threatened. As you read this, an estimated 13 hectares of the world's forest are lost. In the next 30 seconds, another 13 hectares will disappear. Within a minute, mankind succeeds in undoing 1,000 years of natural evolution. Read on to understand a little more about our Malaysian rainforests, and how YOU can help us change for the better.

Forests play a crucial role in ensuring our continued existence. They provide critical environmental services - regulating water flow into our streams/ rivers and moderating climatic change. We also depend on forests to supply us with many essential items such as timber for all kinds of uses, non-timber forest products such as rattan and bamboo, wild fruits such as the petai (Parkia spp.), durian (Durio spp.) and medicinal plants. Many of the animals found in forests are of great importance to us. Bats, for example, help to pollinate fruit plants and keep the number of insect pests down; without bats we will have to spend more money on insecticides, most of which are harmful to the environment.

Tropical rainforests have long been recognised as one of the most productive type of forests in the world. There are only three areas in the world where tropical rainforests are found – tropical South America, Central Africa and Southeast Asia. The rainforests of Southeast Asia are believed to be the oldest and among the most biologically diverse in the world.

Malaysia's land surface was once almost entirely covered with forest. Today, forests still cover about 59.5% of the total land area. However, deforestation is a major concern as the country is still rapidly developing. In the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, there was a reduction of about 4.9 million hectare of forest cover in Malaysia. This is about 4 times the size of Singapore - an average of 250,000 hectare of forest being lost annually! Apart from deforestation, the remaining forests face threats from unsustainable logging, illegal removal of forest products and encroachment.

WWF-Malaysia’s Forest for Life Programme aims to increase the coverage of forest protected areas, improve the management of production forests for the supply of sustainable timber, andrestore degraded areas especially where there is need to maintain critical forest linkages.

Freshwater

Freshwater is perhaps the most crucial resource for humans and all other living creatures on earth. Our life revolves around water, and sufficient clean water is essential for our healthy living as well as the health of the environment.
Malaysia receives abundant rainfall averaging 3,000mm annually that contributes to an estimated annual water resource of some 900 billion cubic metres.

About 97% of our raw water supply for agricultural, domestic and industrial needs are derived from surface water sources primarily rivers. Malaysia has 189 river basins - 89 in Peninsular Malaysia, 78 in Sabah and 22 in Sarawak. All the rivers originate and flow from the highlands.

The highland forests and wetlands (including forested wetlands and water bodies such as river systems) constitute key freshwater ecosystems in the country that deliver a multitude of benefits, from providing natural resources, gene pools, and habitats for flora and fauna, to enabling water purification and flood control.

These freshwater ecosystems are facing numerous threats and challenges. Recognising this, WWF-Malaysia promotes the conservation, integrated management and sustainable use of freshwater ecosystems. To achieve this, WWF-Malaysia advocates for integrated policies and approaches, field projects, improving information database, and information dissemination to increase awareness. These are encapsulated within WWF- Malaysia’s Freshwater Programme comprising the following three areas:

1. Conserving river basins – maintenance and restoration of freshwater habitats and ecological processes within key river basins using approaches such Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM);

2. Sustainable water use – focuses on sustainable water use policies and practices that contribute to freshwater habitat conservation using approaches such as Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM); and

3. Conserving freshwater habitats – focuses on improved protection and management of priority freshwater habitats.

Marine

Malaysia is blessed with an extremely rich marine environment. Our warm tropical seas are home to some of the richest coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass beds and other important habitats in the world. The Straits of Malacca, South China Sea, Sulu Sea, and Sulawesi Sea form the boundary between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This convergence puts Malaysian waters in the centre of the Coral Triangle – the world’s richest marine waters. These warm tropical waters are also home to one of the world’s largest populations of endangered green sea turtles and other endangered marine species such as hawksbill turtles, dugongs, whale sharks, and humphead wrasse.

These ultra rich habitats form only a small percentage of Malaysia’s vast marine area. In fact, Malaysia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) - the area of the sea 200 nautical miles from shore, over which Malaysia has special rights on the use of marine resources - is larger than its land area (approximately 330 000km ² land area vs. 450 000km²EEZ). This vast sea area is rich with fishery resources and habitats which play an important role in food production. Fish comprise 60 - 70% of Malaysian protein intake. Fish are an important sustainable resource but are threatened by overfishing and habitat destruction.

WWF-Malaysia has a long history of marine conservation work in the country. One of our very first projects helped to establish the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Since then we have worked with marine parks in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah and on fisheries issues in Sabah and Langkawi. We help protect endangered sea turtles in Melaka, Terengganu, and Sabah. As part of the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion programme, we are collaborating with partners in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines to ensure the sustainability of the apex of the Coral Triangle.

Environmental education

One of the most important elements in environmental conservation is perhaps also one of the most overlooked one of all: Education.

People have the power to either protect or destroy the environment, depending on how they choose to live their lives…a choice dictated by their level of awareness on their natural world, their knowledge on the impact they have on it and most importantly, their ability to actually do something about it.

The task of conserving the environment through education begins in the formative stages of our lives, which ultimately determines our attitude and behaviour towards the environment and how these are eventually passed on to succeeding generations.

WWF-Malaysia employs a strategy of collaborative partnerships, consultations, and participation with government agencies, universities, other environmental NGOs, and specific community groups to be agents of conservation.

Policy

WWF-Malaysia has been involved in policy and advocacy work for over 20 years. We have adopted various approaches and effective partnerships to promote policies, plans, programmes, and legislation that integrate environmental concerns for sustainable development. This includes engaging with various government ministries and departments at the federal, state, and local levels.

Blood Tragedy in Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (Syallena) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 03:39:00 +0000

IPOH: The driver of the tour bus which overturned and crashed along the Simpang Pulai-Kampung Raja road here on Monday, killing 27 and injuring 10 others, was driving fast before the accident happened, according to one of the three surviving male Thai victims.

Not conversant in English, Chirarot Bunthichinwiwatn, 43, had to be asked through hand signs as to what transpired moments before the crash.

Asked whether the bus was being driven fast, he nodded from his hospital bed at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here yesterday.

He also indicated that the whole thing happened within a split second.

Chirarot, still weak, also looked sad and stared at the ceiling when he was told that 27 people were killed in the accident.

When asked whether he would return to visit Cameron Highlands, Chirarot shook his head repeatedly.

He is being treated for body and leg injuries.

Meanwhile, one of the Thai tourists who cheated death in the bus crash claimed she saw smoke coming from the rear of the bus before it hit a divider.

Nasir Ismail, 51, father of Areena Nasir (also called Arrena Songserm), 19, told Bernama that his daughter had related that as the bus was going down a slope, she saw smoke coming from the back of the bus.

Nasir said Areena told him that the bus then hit a divider before landing in a ditch on the other side of the road.

Nasir, who was with his daughter at the hospital, said she only remembers crawling out of the bus.

She is being treated for bruises on her body and head.

“My daughter told me she could still see the smoke after the accident. She, however, could not say for sure whether the bus was being driven at breakneck speed while going down the slope.” Nasir said he was grateful that his daughter was safe.

She is a third-year law student at Ealailak University in Nakhon Sithamarat.

For Aida Mohammad, a tourist officer from Hatyai, grief turned to relief when two of her Thai family members, who were initially listed as dead, were actually being treated at the hospital here.

“I was so grateful to God when I found out that the two family members were alive.” She is related to Darunee Songserm, 59, and Areena, who were in the bus.

The 36-year-old said she got to know about the accident, involving her sister and her niece, while she was watching TV3’s news bulletin at home.

Aida immediately rushed down from Pattani with her nephew, Faisal Ismail, 40, (Darunee’s son) and Arrena’s father, Nasir.

The three arrived at the hospital about 2am yesterday and was relieved to learn that their family members were alive.

Darunee is in the intensive care unit.
