The damage caused by the recent major fire and haze event in 1997-98 was estimated to be nine billion USD. During the 1997/98 forest and land fires in Indonesia and Malaysia, a total of about 10 million ha of forest and agricultural land was burnt. Although only 15% of this land was peatland, the peat fires contributed an estimated 60% of the regional smoke and haze. In addition, the peat fires burnt longer and were more difficult to put out than all the other fires. Even though large numbers of fire suppression personnel were mobilised, their effectiveness was limited by the lack of reliable, current information on locations of the fires and most of all the environmental conditions promoting their ignition and spread. One of the important lessons of this event is that more emphasis needs to be put into the sustainable management of peatlands and the prevention of forest fires, such as through better water management and restoration of degraded peatland areas. This publication consist of papers presented at the Workshop on “Prevention and Control of Fire in Peatlands” held from 19th to 21st of March 2002 which was attended by almost 70 representatives from Federal and State agencies, NGOs and research institutions in Malaysia, and regional representatives from ARCBC, Wetlands International Indonesia Programme and Alterra. The Workshop was jointly organised by the Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia and Global Environment Centre Malaysia, with valuable support from Selangor State Forestry Department, ASEAN Regional Centre for Biodiversity Conservation and the Royal Netherlands Embassy, Malaysia. This Workshop brought about together concerned parties to discuss issues relating to the importance and vulnerability of peat swamp forest in Malaysia. At the same time to pursue on collaborations and interaction between scientists, policy makers, government agencies and institutions to address the issue of peatland fires. The Workshop provided opportunity for active presentation and discussions on issues such as (a) peatland status and management in relation to biodiversity, (b) peatland fire and climate change, (c) wise hydrological management of peatland in preventing fires, (d) issue of 1997/98 forest fires and (e) experiences from regional case studies on peat fire management. Information derived from the discussions were compiled and incorporated into a Workshop Statement with 13 proposed actions for fire prevention and control in peatlands to be taken up by relevant agencies and institutions. The Workshop Statement is included in page 9. While this Workshop has attempted to tackle broader and wider issues on peatland fires, nevertheless, there are still emerging questions on how to deal with the situation in a practical manner and room for improvement in the future on “wise use of peatland”. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The organising committee would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia and the Global Environment Centre in co-organising the workshop on “Prevention and Control of Fire in Peatlands”. Special thanks also goes to the ASEAN Regional Centre for Biodiversity Conservation for the support in funding part of this workshop, and The Royal Netherlands Embassy, Malaysia for providing funds for the publication of this proceedings.

The significance of it is undeniable because it has become one of the necessities of human life. Studies have shown that housing adequacy is connected with the Quality of Life because everything starts at home. The preceding housing problems will reflect on the policy problems of local authorities and management. Some of the previous aftermaths on housing might affect the balance and sustainability of residents. A lot of issues about housing have been drawn to the media especially in Malaysia. Water supply crisis, flood issue, a technical issue like elevator problem, waste management, security, lack of facilities such as public transport are some of the examples. It is also affecting the satisfaction towards housing quality indirectly. This study investigates the satisfaction on housing quality in Mukim Bandar Johor Bahru and Mukim Plentong, Johor Bahru, Johor which cover a total of 696,500 people. A sample of 196 respondents is surveyed to identify the locals' satisfaction with their housing quality in three aspects which are the physical of house, infrastructure, and the environment by using Cochran’s formula. Descriptive analysis is used to analyse the quantitative data obtained.

    Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection Into the Heart of Borneo Into the Heart of Borneo Join Palace Tours on an unforgettable 9−day cruise journey on the Rajang River into the lush rainforests of Borneo, the third largest island in the world. Though the name is familiar to many from Redmon O’Hanlon’s classic Into the Heart of Borneo, there is very little tourism here due to the river’s remoteness and lack of facilities. There is much to do and see upriver, whether just gazing at the amazing scenery or visiting traditional and modern Iban long houses. In these river towns, you can explore the architectural vestiges of the Brooke Raj, and experience jungle treks and longboat trips as your journey continues to the Pelagus Rapids. Wildlife is in abundance and crocodiles, monitor lizards and the hornbill (national bird of Sarawak) are common sights. Downriver, the prosperous Chinese city of Sibu with its old shop houses, markets and friendly inhabitants, is a calm reflection of old China. At Sareiki, enjoy visits to pepper farms and exotic fruit plantations, and experience textile production at the sea port of Thanjung Manis. ITINERARY • Day 1 − Arrive in Sibu and board your cruise ship You are met upon arrival at the airport in Sibu, a bustling Malaysian port city set close to local markets and temples. Transfer to the cruise ship and settle in to your comfortable cabin. The afternoon is yours at leisure to explore the town on foot with its attractive streets of old Chinese shop houses, redolent of Malacca or Penang but without the tourists.

  • Manager's Report
    Manager’s Report First Asset Disposal – Axis North Port LC 1 The Manager announced on the 17 January 2011 that the Trustee for Axis-REIT, had entered into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the disposal of Axis North Port LC 1 for a total lump sum cash consideration of RM14.5 million to Freight Management (M) Sdn Bhd . Salient points of the disposal are as follows: Proposed Disposal Price = RM14,500,000 Estimated net gain on disposal = RM803,000 Estimated real property gain tax = RM41,000 Estimated net gain available for distribution = RM762,000 Rationale In less than 5 years of ownership , the Manager believes it has optimized the potential of Axis North Port LC 1.The Manager also felt that there was a limited upside to future rental growth and therefore this was an opportune time to sell the asset and re-deploy the capital for more yield accretive properties. The Manager intends to distribute the net gain (estimated to be RM762,000) on the disposal (after 5% real property gains tax) to unitholders in 2011 by way of tax exempt income distribution. The balance will be used to reduce gearing to provide Axis-REIT with headroom for future acquisition. The Proposed Disposal of Axis North Port LC1 will translate to a distribution of approximately 0.20 sen per Unit. This is part of our strategy to optimize the Fund’s portfolio in order to maximize returns to the Unitholders. The disposal is expected to be completed before the end of the 2Q 2011. 34 AXIS-REIT | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 AXIS-REIT | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 35 INVESTOR RELATIONS REPORT (II) The proposed placement of 68,819,800 new Units, and Unitholders' Meetings (III) The proposed increase in Fund size to 375,901,000 Units In 2010, the Board unanimously resolved that the Manager will hold one Unitholders meeting every financial year, The Manager is pleased to report that all resolutions were irrespective if there were resolutions to be tabled for approval passed unanimously.
