This was mainly due to the decline in the Group’s overall sales volume of Crude Palm Oil (“CPO”), in which 46,818 metric tonnes in 2014 as compared to 69,591 metric tonnes in 2013, and Palm Kernel (“PK”), in which 10,598 metric tonnes in 2014 as compared to 16,831 metric tonnes in 2013; despite the increased of average selling price per metric tonnes for both CPO and PK for 3.1% and 31.6%, respectively; from RM2,187 and RM1,228 in 2013 to RM2,256 and RM1,617 in 2014 respectively. 7KLVJHQWOHULVHLQWKHSULFHRIFRPPRGLWLHVZDVLQÁXHQFHG by the increased demand from the emerging economies in WKHÀUVWWZRTXDUWHUVRIWKH\HDU+RZHYHUWKHKLJKLQYHQWRU\ levels of world’s CPO had caused its prices to be traded EHORZ50IRUWKHVXEVHTXHQWTXDUWHUVLQWKHÀQDQFLDO year 2014.

PLANTATION OPERATION REVIEW In 2014, the Group’s oil palm planted area has increased to 57,182 hectares as compared to 54,659 hectares in 2013 whereas the production area was 39,122 (2014) hectares, an increase of 2,255 hectares from 2013 of 36,867 hectares. However, due to the lack of harvesters and unfavourable weather condition, it has caused the plunging in the production of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) to 436,584 metric tonnes in 2014 as compared to 479,480 metric tonnes in 2013. The Group’s palm oil mill performance indicated unfavourable prospect in 2014. The productions of CPO was 43,937 metric tonnes and PK was 10,751 metric tonnes in 2014, representing a decrease of 34% and 35% respectively from 2013. To combat the mill aging factor, major overhaul in respective areas will be performed in 2015; following the operation of the Group’s new palm oil mill.

  • 'Evergreen' and REDD+ in the Forests of Oceania
    10. ‘Evergreen’ and REDD+ in the Forests of Oceania JENNIFER GABRIEL Forests, Conversions and Climate Change Any global agreement on climate change will impact on how we manage our forestry operations. If we are to sustain our industry into the future, we must stay alert and aware of these developments. Most importantly, we must respond by making our case to Governments and business partners around the world. If we don’t, the future of our industry will be in peril. (Tiong Hiew King 2008) Throughout most of industrialised history, forests have been worth more felled than standing. Countries in the developed world, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada and Europe have clear-felled around half of the world’s primary forests to plant agricultural crops, create urban centres, extract wood for construction or burn timber as fuel. In response to the international demand for timber and timber products, most deforestation in the twentieth century has occurred in developing countries, which collectively harbour around half of the world’s remaining natural forest. In the twenty- first century, predictions of global warming have led to a new way of seeing forests as repositories of carbon. In the climate change ‘crisis’, the maintenance of existing forests as well as increasing forest coverage is touted to make an important contribution to the mitigation of global warming, but this potential is yet to be realised (Nabuurs et al. 2007; Capoor and Ambrosi 2008). From a governance perspective, the international climate regime is playing a dominant 237 Tropical Forests of Oceania role in influencing environmental and developmental policy internationally (Maguire 2010: 5) and is opening up spaces for critical change in ‘sustainable forest management’ (SFM).

    Letting in the Wolf: Lurking Challenge to Pluralism of the Chinese Media in ...........................................................by Chang Teck Peng HE THREAT to press freedom Malaysia and pluralism of public Topinion in Malaysia may be attributed mainly to repressive media laws and media ownership by corporations owned by or linked to the ruling parties. The fact that it has taken its toll is obvious in the English and Malay mainstream media, especially with regard to TV and newspapers. The same threat exists for the Chinese media, however, it experiences it to a lesser degree since the ruling parties have often paid less attention to it. Malaysia is a multi-ethnic society with three main ethnic groups, namely, Malay, Chinese, and Indian, and numerous other ethnic minorities. It has a total population of 25.58 million and the ethnic composition is: 15.70 million (65.7 percent) are Bumiputra (Malays and other indigenous groups), 6.07 million (25.4 percent) are Chinese, 1.80 million (7.6 percent) are Indian, and the rest are other ethnic minorities. Nowadays, the scenario of the Malaysian Chinese media industry is much different from the situation during and prior to the 1980s. Back then, most Chinese newspapers were run as family businesses and were faced with stiff competition and a limited market. The owner of Malaysia’s largest Chinese media group, Sin However, changes in the political Chew Media Corporation, Tiong Hiew King, has a stake in atmosphere and the booming economy in its traditional competitor, Nanyang Press Holdings. the 1990s, have contributed to the growth of Oriental Daily News (Malaysia) journalismasia2005 19 n Lurking Challenge to Pluralism of the Chinese Media in Malaysia Journalists from China Press protest the move of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) to take over Nanyang Press Holdings and Sin Chew Daily’s role in the deal.

  • Politico-Business Relationships in Sarawak's Timber Industry
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Institute for Humanity and Nature Repository 5.2. Impacts of National Policies and International Institutions on Forest Use Chapter 5 Politico-Business Relationships in Sarawak’s Timber Industry Akiko Morishita Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University Introduction Around 66.1 percent (8.22 million hectares) of the total land of Sarawak, a state of East Malaysia, is categorized as forest area, and by 1985 as much as 60 percent of the forest had been given away for timber concessions (Brown 2001). Those who have made huge profits from logging operations are a handful of top local politicians and local businessmen who succeeded in making close links with the politicians. This paper focuses on Tiong Hiew King, one of those successful businessmen and shows how political patronage is important for business success in the region, especially in the timber sector. Background Logging concessions have been issued by the state Minister of Resource Planning, a position which Chief Minister of Sarawak Taib Mahmud has held since 1985. Most concessions were granted to local politicians and their relatives, friends and political associates. The concession holders subsequently subcontracted logging work to local timber companies. As a result, local businessmen have to make good relations with the concession holders, that is, local politicians and their families, in order to gain subcontract work. Under such conditions, five powerful business groups have grown in the region. They are Samling, Rimbunan Hijau, KTS, WTK and Shin Yang (Brown 2001).

L. and Y. B. Lee. 2018. Malaysian Chinese language newspapers and national identity: A study of the roles of Sin Chew Daily in Chinese cultural preservation and nation building. Kajian Malaysia 36(1): 63–103. https://doi.org/10.21315/km2018.36.1.4 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/km2018.36.1.4 ABSTRACT As the leading Chinese language newspaper in Malaysia, Sin Chew Daily remains focused on emphasising and preserving Chinese cultural and nationalist discourses. On one hand, Sin Chew Daily continues to play a significant role in supporting government policies such as the promotion of ethnic relations and nation-building efforts within multicultural Malaysia. On the other, as a Chinese language newspaper, Sin Chew Daily has never neglected its role in preserving Chinese culture. Using the mixed methods approach, namely content analysis as the first phase of data collection and in-depth interview as the second phase of data collection, this paper examines the agenda of Chinese cultural preservation and nation-building within the context of ethnic relations and national identity by Sin Chew Daily. Based on the relationship of the media and society, and the market and the State, this paper will argue how Chinese cultural preservation through news reporting of cultural rights and Chinese education remains the priority for Sin Chew Daily as compared to the agenda of nation-building.
