Common and scientific names and the taxonomy used follow those of Sibley and Monroe (1990). The columns P, K and L refer to species recorded in Perlis, Kedah and Langkawi respectively, Langkawi records not being included with those of Kedah. This publication is designed to be used with a field guide for species identification and suggested titles are given below under `Field Guides'. The status and distribution accorded to each species is relevant to the area studied and not necessarily to the species throughout its range. For less common species, locations are indicated in which they have been observed. In the case of species frequenting forest, mangrove or secondary growth the storey or storeys in which they feed are defined. Where they range through several storeys, their level of feeding is not stipulated. Migrant species are mainly those which leave their breeding grounds to avoid the northern winter and to find food supplies in the south. Migrants may spend the winter period in this area or may be staging on passage to destinations both. Migrants are usually present more southerly orDemo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) during the period September to April, although species such as Barn Swallows arrive in July and waders in August. Apart from Blue-tailed Bee-eaters and possibly some Pittas, all migrants are non-breeding. TYPES OF HABITAT IN KEDAH AND PERLIS Northwest Peninsula Malaysia may be divided into seven major types of habitat based on vegetation zones: Mangrove forest and mudflats; Freshwater swamp and padi fields; Lowland evergreen rainforest; Semi-evergreen rainforest; Limestone hill and karst vegetation; Lower montane rainforest; and Urban and rural land. 2 In addition there is a small area of upper montane forest shared with Perak on the south-eastern border in Kedah. Mangrove forest remains along the Sungai Merbok where a forest reserve has been declared, at the estuary of Kuala Sanglang on the Kedah-Perlis border and at three locations on the Langkawi islands. At mainland locations are extensive mudflats supporting overwintering wader populations, but on Pulau Langkawi the mangrove shores mostly shelve too rapidly for mudflats to be exposed. Mangroves range from 10 meters in height inland on wider belts to three meters at the sea edge. On the landward side Nipa palms, Nypa fruticans back onto the mangroves in brackish water. There is little freshwater swamp, but the vast areas of rice padi and their margins provide habitats for many waterbirds, in particular ardeids and rails. The freshwater swamps support the introduced Sago palm, Metroxylon sagu and paperbarks, Melaleuca sp.. Lowland evergreen rainforest covered dry areas, but has mostly receded to the Main Range to give way to cultivation and replacement by rubber and oil palm. The main tree species are dipterocarps; from sea level to around 350 metres being lowland species and from 350-750 metres hill species. Semi-evergreen rainforest occurs north of a line extending from Kangar Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) in Perlis to Pattani in Thailand. The climate here is sub-monsoonal, resulting in a distinct dry season in January and February. Bamboos flourish in this zone. Limestone karsts are dotted over northern Kedah and Perlis, while limestone hills occur in northern Perlis and on Pulau Langkawi. Limestone supports a rich vegetation and accentuates aridity during January and February, in which time there is considerable leaf fall. Lower montane rainforest occurs above 800 metres on Gunung Jerai and along the range to the east of Kedah that extends along the border with Perak into southern Thailand. The montane oak forest of the main range is replaced on Gunung Jerai with myrtaceous forest. Along the Main Range occur outcrops of upper montane rainforest. 3 Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) xx International boundary 0 50Km 1--ý J " State boundary ý Map. 1: KEDAH AND PERLIS SHOWING LOCATIONS MENTIONED IN THE CHECKLIST 4 BIRD-WATCHING LOCATIONS There are 900 hectares of lowland tropical and semi-deciduous secondary forest with small areas of primary forest in the grounds of Universiti Utara Malaysia. These back on to large areas of forest reserve. Amongst the 207 species of birds observed here, (Gregory-Smith, 1995), are Golden-spectacled Warbler, Narcissus Flycatcher and dry- season migrant, Black-hooded Oriole. The Mata Air Forest Reserve is the only remaining area of lowland semi-deciduous monsoon forest in Perlis. It is discontinuous, there being a small area of primary forest near the Forest Research Institute Malaysia research station and more at Wang Kelian, extending with secondary forest to the border and the Thai Thaleban National Park, which acts as a gene bank. Limestone predominates in the Reserve: species found in this type of habitat include Streaked Wren-Babbler, Blue Whistling-Thrush, Striated Swallow and Dusky Crag-Martin i The area around Bukit Wang includes forested ranges south of the Thai Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) border between Sintok and Jitra. Some primary forest exists, but much has been logged and replaced by secondary forest. A number of small rivers and some waterfalls are in the area. Bat Hawk, Dusky Broadbill and Banded Kingfisher are present. Ui!MzL3H=- This hill system rises to over 500 metres and is a reserve of logged primary and secondary forest. Migrants including Hodgson's Hawk- Cuckoo and Mugimaki Flycatcher are found in the area. lll! MmD-q= This lone uplift from the Kedah plains rises to 1220 metres and lower montane rainforest occurs above 800 metres. The upper regions of Gunung Jerai are too small to support a montane fauna and consequently found only some wide-ranging species from lower altitudes are there. Ashy Bulbuls are common at higher elevations and a Blue Rock-Thrush was seen on the summit. A Chestnut-winged Cuckoo was seen in scrub at 600 metres. 5 Later i 1(ngkuang Lowland and hill rainforest occur here and although the area has been logged it provides a habitat in south-eastern Kedah for a number of uncommon species including Orange-breasted Trogan, Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher and Blue-and-white Flycatcher. L111rn1 This area includes two reservoirs where the Sungai Muda and Sungai Pedu have been dammed to provide water supplies for rice-growing. Entry is restricted and permits to enter should be obtained from police district headquarters. The road passes through primary rainforest, secondary forest and belukar. Birds observed include Black Eagle, Rhinoceros Hornbill, Blue-banded Kingfisher and Straw-headed Bulbul. r%mnq-mEu= Flanking the broad river are mangrove forest reserves in which are found Mangrove Pitta and Mangrove Blue-Flycatcher. To the north and south are extensive padi-fields, in which many waders occur on passage and some, including Wood Sandpiper, remain for the northern winter. URMEB!IU= To the north of the Sungai Merbok estuary lie broad open mudflats. On flats Common these many species of ploverDemo (Visit andhttp://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) sandpiper occur and and Spotted Redshank, Common Greenshank and Rufous-necked and Long- toed Stints are seen each year. rAlliffilamor= A fishing village on the Perlis-Kedah border, with mangroves and mudflats extending north and south from the estuary. Mangrove species and waders may be studied from the land or by hiring a fishing boat to view the mudflats from the sea. Many waders occur here including large numbers of Great Knot. Sometimes seen on the mudflats are Grey and Purple Heron and Gargany, while migrants in the mangroves include Dusky Warblers. RMT-Mhm= Eight kilometres of mudflats lie beyond a fringe of mangroves, behind which are a containing bund, swamp and padi-fields. Large numbers of waders are found here, including Bar-tailed and Black-tailed Godwits and Broad-billed Sandpiper.

In this paper, the study is conducted to examine the pattern of monthly rainfall in Alor Setar, Kedah within ten years which is from 2008 to 2018. This paper considered a model based on real data that obtained from Department of Meteorology Malaysia. This study indicates that the monthly rainfall in Alor Setar has a seasonal and trend pattern based on yt vs t plotting, autocorrelation function and Kruskal Wallis Test for seasonality. The examined rainfall time-series modelling approaches include Naïve Model, Decomposition Method, Holt-Winter’s and Box-Jenkins ARIMA. Multiplicative Decomposition Method was identified as the best model to forecast rainfall for the year of 2019 by analysing the previous ten-year’s data (2008-2018). As a result from the forecast of 2019, October is the wettest month with highest forecasted rainfall of 276.15mm while the driest month is in February with lowest forecasted rainfall of 50.55mm.

  • A Gravity Survey of Perlis, Kedah and Penang
    Geol. Soc. Malaysia, Bulletin 26, April 1990; pp. 13 - 20 A gravity survey of Perlis, Kedah and Penang ALAN J. BURLEY AND JAMALUDIN OTHMAN Geological Survey of Malaysia, P.O. Box 1015, 30820 Ipoh. Abstract: The results of a gravity survey of northwest Peninsular Malaysia are pre­ sented, forming the fIrst stage of a survey of the whole Peninsula. The aim is to obtain as uniform a coverage as possible, initially using 4WD vehicles and boats for transport. At a later stage it is anticipated that areas not otherwise accessible will be reached using a helicopter. The results can be largely explained in terms of the confIguration of granitic rocks. A steep gravity gradient follows approximately the boundary of the Main Range granite in a series ofen echelon northwest and northeast trending sections. The extent and steepness of the gradient along some sections implies steeply dipping contacts between granite and sediments extending to depths of a few kilometres. It is steepest along the section coinciding with the Bok Bak fault, for which there is some indication of a possible extension northwestwards into Perlis: here it could have influenced the deposition ofthe Tertiary Bukit Arang coal beds, which show a signifIcant gravity response. If there has been major lateral movement along this fault and/or faults parallel to it, a net sinistral displacement of about 30 kilometres is suggested by the gravity results. The Gunung J erai granite is shown to be much more extensive underground than at outcrop, and the results show that the Pulau Pinang, Kulim and Main Range granites are all connected at relatively shallow levels.

Sakdan School of Government, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia Abstract The issues of maintaining and managing high-rise buildings in Malaysia have been a matter for discussionfor a long time. This has led to significant amendments of the rules and regulations that have governed the stratified buildings in Malaysia. Now, the Strata Management Act 2013 (Strata Management Act 2013 Act 757), which came into force on June 1, 2015, is the main reference document that outlines the roles and responsibilities of the COB and JMB in the maintenance and management of high rise/stratified buildings. Act 757 recognised the formation of two main entities in terms of managing and maintaining the stratified buildings; these are the Commissioner of Building (COB) and the Joint Management Building (JMB) before the formation of the Management Corporation (MC). For the purposes of this article, the study focused solely on the MC of the commercial buildings perspective in Jitra, Kedah Malaysia because that particular building was only the commercial building to have been established by the MC.
