SCOPE OF PROJECT The project site with the total area of 360.82 hectares (891.61 acres) within State Land under Rompin District and Land Office authority is allowed to be managed for logging activity by Super Radiance Sdn Bhd. The logging activity could help to provide adequate timber supply within short rotation of time. According to subparagraph 34A (1) of the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 2015, the project enshrined under Second Schedule Activity 5 (c) which covers: Second Schedule 5. FORESTRY: (c) Logging, or cutting or taking of timber from forest at 300 meters or more above mean sea level covering an area of 100 hectares or more, outside permanent reserved forest. Since the project is listed in Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 2015, thus an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study must be carried out by the project proponent. The EIA report must be submitted to the Director General of the Department of Environment (DOE), Ministry of Energy, Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment for approval. The logging activities that have the potential to cause environmental impacts are listed below: • Construction of access road and drainage system. • Establishment of base camp. • Harvesting of timber.

ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATION The potential and benefits of the proposed project are further contributing to the local economy. The logged timber has the economic potential to generate regional economic impact. To manage the environmental impacts that may arise from the project, it would be proposed that the activity would be undertaken phase by phase. With the implementation of appropriate and sufficient mitigation measures, the impact of logging that might arise during the project activity will be least and minimal. As such, this built option is better as it balances economic and environmental considerations resulting in net benefits for the industry concerned and also for the environment. Therefore, the need of this project activity to be approved and implemented is obvious. A ‘No Project’ option will cause a no valuable and commercial timber being extracted out from the forest. It will increase the possibility of encroachment into the state land for illegal activity. This potentially can result in more damages to environment since it is not properly managed thus it will cause loss to the government as the timber economy will be affected and decline due to the no project option for the project site. Besides, for the area that has no logging activity for three years, the tree cutting limits should be imposed. Hence, enhancing the project site from a no activity area to logging would increase the value of land in that area. Thus, the activity of the project will generate potential regional economic benefits by providing timber supply, employment and business opportunities to the local community. The project proponent will take into consideration measures to mitigate any adverse impacts during logging. As for this project, the clear-felling method will be used instead of selective felling. This method will involve the cutting down of all valuable timber in the project site. However, the natural vegetation such as small shrubs and bushes will remain in the project site as to minimize erosion risk and impacts towards the environment.

SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TO BE STUDIED Based on the project logging activities, the significant environmental impacts are identified as below: • Water Quality • Erosion Risk • Ecology • Socio Economy The less significant impacts are identified as below: • Air Quality • Noise Level • Hydrology • Flood Risk • Waste Management The insignificant impacts are identified as below: • Land Contamination • Land Use, Landscape and Visual • Hazard and Risk Assessment • Geology 6. STUDY BOUNDARIES The project site is located in State Land which is under the authority of Rompin District and Land Office. The coordinate points of the project site are presented in Table 5.

  • (Orang Asli) in Peninsular Malaysia During Periods of Food Insecurity
    Public Health Nutrition: 21(15), 2819–2830 doi:10.1017/S136898001800160X Qualitative study on identification of common coping strategies practised by Indigenous Peoples (Orang Asli) in Peninsular Malaysia during periods of food insecurity Leh Shii Law, Sulaiman Norhasmah*, Wan Ying Gan and Mohd Taib Mohd Nasir Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Malaysia Submitted 10 August 2017: Final revision received 4 May 2018: Accepted 23 May 2018: First published online 6 July 2018 Abstract Objective: To examine the types of coping strategies practised by Indigenous women or Orang Asli (OA) in Peninsular Malaysia during times of food shortage and to determine the level of severity for food insecurity that will trigger each specific coping strategy. Design: A qualitative case study was conducted. Pertinent information about each type of coping strategy was gathered by in-depth interviews. To gauge the level of severity for each of the coping strategies, focus group discussions (FGD) were held. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Setting: OA villages in the states of Kelantan, Pahang, Perak and Selangor, Malaysia. Subjects: Sixty-one OA women from three ethnic groups (Senoi, Proto-Malay and Negrito) for in-depth interviews and nineteen OA women from the Proto-Malay ethnic group for three FGD. Results: The findings identified twenty-nine different coping strategies and these were divided into two main themes: food consumption (sub-themes of food consumption included dietary changes, diversification of food sources, decreasing the number of people and rationing) and financial management (sub-themes of financial management included increasing household income, reducing expenses for schooling children and reducing expenses on daily necessities).

  • Systematics and Evolution of the Rattan Genus Korthalsia Bl
    SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION OF THE RATTAN GENUS KORTHALSIA BL. (ARECACEAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DOMATIA A thesis submitted by Salwa Shahimi For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences University of Reading February 2018 i Declaration I can confirm that is my own work and the use of all material from other sources have been properly and fully acknowledged. Salwa Shahimi Reading, February 2018 ii ABSTRACT Korthalsia is a genus of palms endemic to Malesian region and known for the several species that have close associations with ants. In this study, 101 new sequences were generated to add 18 Korthalsia species from Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam to an existing but unpublished data set for calamoid palms. Three nuclear (prk, rpb2, and ITS) and three chloroplast (rps16, trnD-trnT and ndhF) markers were sampled and Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood methods of tree reconstruction used. The new phylogeny of the calamoids was largely congruent with the published studies, though the taxon sampling was more thorough. Each of the three tribes of the Calamoideae appeared to be monophyletic. The Eugeissoneae was consistently resolved as sister to Calameae and Lepidocaryeae, and better resolved, better supported topologies below the tribal level were identified. Korthalsia is monophyletic, and novel hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia were put forward. These hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia served as a framework for the better understanding of the evolution of ocrea. The morphological and developmental study of ocrea in genus Korthalsia included detailed study using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy for seven samples of 28 species of Korthalsia, in order to provide understanding of ocrea morphological traits.
