The tropical region’s countries are rich with natural rainforests and the economies of the countries situated within the region are mainly driven by the agricultural industry. In order to fulfill the agricultural demand, land clearing has worsened the situation by degrading the land surface areas. Rampant land use activities have led to land degradation and soil erosion, resulting in implications on water quality and sedimentation of the river networks. This affects the ecosystem services, especially the hydrological cycles. Intensification of the sedimentation process has resulted in shallower river systems, thus increasing their vulnerability to natural hazards (i.e., climate change, floods). Tropical forests which are essential in servicing their benefits have been depleted due to the increase in human exploitation.

The montane forest area was degraded as the topsoil was removed after the area was encroached for agriculture development. Each of the plant was treated with three (3) different fertilizer and a control (without fertilizer): 1) NPK 8:8:8 (300g granular), 2) Asid Humic (liquid) and 3) NPK 8:8:8 (300g, granular) + Asid Humic. The stand age is about three years old and divided into three blocks. The diameter of each tree was taken at the stem, 3 inch from the ground for eight months. Results eight (8) months after introducing with treatment showed that using NPK 8:8:8 + Asid Humic is the best treatment for both Magnolia champaca and Hopea odorata with an average diameter of 6.5 mm and 6.3 mm increment respectively.

  • Libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore; a Short History
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 059 722 LI 003 461 AUTHOR Tee Edward Lim Huck TITLE Lib aries in West Malaysia and Slngap- e; A Sh History. INSTITUTION Malaya Univ., Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). PUB DATE 70 NOTE 169p.;(210 References) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS Foreign Countries; History; *Libraries; Library Planning; *Library Services; Library Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Library Development; Singapore; West Malaysia ABSTRACT An attempt is made to trace the history of every major library in Malay and Singapore. Social and recreational club libraries are not included, and school libraries are not extensively covered. Although it is possible to trace the history of Malaysia's libraries back to the first millenium of the Christian era, there are few written records pre-dating World War II. The lack of documentation on the early periods of library history creates an emphasis on developments in the modern period. This is not out of order since it is only recently that libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore have been recognized as one of the important media of mass education. Lack of funds, failure to recognize the importance of libraries, and problems caused by the federal structure of gc,vernment are blamed for this delay in development. Hinderances to future development are the lack of trained librarians, problems of having to provide material in several different languages, and the lack of national bibliographies, union catalogs and lists of serials.

  • 1 Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I Have Been
    Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I have been unconsciously entangled in a historical process of the making of modern Buddhism. There was a Chinese temple beside my house in Penang, Malaysia. The main deity was likely a deified imperial court officer, though no historical record documented his origin. A mosque serenely resided along the main street approximately 50 meters from my house. At the end of the street was a Hindu temple decorated with colorful statues. Less than five minutes’ walk from my house was a Buddhist association in a two-storey terrace. During my childhood, the Chinese temple was a playground. My friends and I respected the deities worshipped there but sometimes innocently stole sweets and fruits donated by worshippers as offerings. Each year, three major religious events were organized by the temple committee: the end of the first lunar month marked the spring celebration of a deity in the temple; the seventh lunar month was the Hungry Ghost Festival; and the eighth month honored, She Fu Da Ren, the temple deity’s birthday. The temple was busy throughout the year. Neighbors gathered there to chat about national politics and local gossip. The traditional Chinese temple was thus deeply rooted in the community. In terms of religious intimacy with different nearby temples, the Chinese temple ranked first, followed by the Hindu temple and finally, the mosque, which had a psychological distant demarcated by racial boundaries. I accompanied my mother several times to the Hindu temple. Once, I asked her why she prayed to a Hindu deity.

While initial assistance from the federal government did contribute marginally to the growth of these NVs, however, through the years, they were left to fend for themselves. Ultimately, the growth pattern of these settlements showed conspicuous disparity in terms of economic prosperity and development. Those NVs nestled in semi urban and urban peripheries thrived and became robust, while those in the rural areas languished. Using a case study, this paper will explore and examine events that are challenging NVs in Malaysia which may alter the fate of NVs in the future. NVs in Malaysia today are at a cross-road between sustainable growth and fossilisation. This paper will describe the living condition and housing environment of the NVs and narrate the political affinity of the NV community based on their voting patterns in the past general elections and groundwork investigations. Any re-development plans for the NVs should be viewed as a part of the mainstream of national development which has sustainable living and a better quality of life as one of the objectives.
