Carey Island Mega Project Will Take Us Higher
Carey Island mega project will take us higher KUALA LUMPUR: The mega port industrial city project at Carey Island will ease the congestion and bottleneck at Port Klang, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. He said the port city project, which is still in the planning stages, was a vital part of the Government’s effort to further boost the country’s position as the top hub in the region. “We will have a port city there, not just a port. It will give a boost to Carey Island, and this is our long-term plan,” he told the media at the launch of Pikom’s 9th Leadership Summit 2017, yesterday. The Carey Island Port is a massive port-industrial city project with infrastructure investments of more than RM200bil covering an area of over 100sq km – more than twice the size of Putrajaya. It was announced in January. Liow said the Government must start now or risk being left behind by other ports in the region. “We cannot be satisfied with the current 30 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) of container cargo. Carey Island will carry an additional capacity of 30 million TEUs. “At the moment, both Northport and Westport can only handle 30 million TEUs so we need to implement the project as soon as possible,” he said. Liow, who is also the National Logistics Task Force chairman, said the development of Carey Island will cover more than 5,000 acres (2,000ha) off Port Klang, aimed at managing the traffic shipment across Asia. “We are hoping to draw cargo shipments from southern Thailand, and Sumatra in Indonesia to strengthen Port Klang’s position as the biggest hub in the region,” he said.

Carey Island’S Port: Is It a “Need” Or “Want” ? Statement of Objectives
社会经济研究中心 SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE Part 3: Carey Island’s port: Is it a “Need” or “Want” ? Statement of objectives • The idea of developing Carey Island’s port was conceptualised following the remarks that existing ports in the Port Klang area will hit maximum capacity. In early 2017, Port Klang Authority (PKA) had announced existing ports in the area will reach maximum capacity by 2025. • In April 2017, MMC Corporation Bhd has signed two agreements: (1) The first one with Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) to conduct a feasibility study of Carey Island as an extension of Port Klang; and (2) Second MoU with Sime Darby Property Bhd and APSEZ to study the feasibility of developing an integrated maritime city in Carey Island. • In July 2018, another feasibility study under new administration will be independently conducted and commissioned by Port Klang Authority (PKA). As of now, previous government had not issued approval for the Carey Port. Transport Minister Anthony Loke indicated that the project will be private initiative-driven if the Parliament approved. • The objectives of this working paper are to provide an overview of the port development in Carey Island and also to assess the potential of the Carey Island project that can enhance the surrounding development. Socio-Economic Research Centre 1 Scope of the study Section 1: An overview of Carey Island • Illustrate some facts, the development status and hinterland connections about Carey Island. Section 2: Site and location analysis • Describe the land ownership of Carey Island, including an estimation of opportunity cost on Sime Darby Plantation’s arable land and palm oil revenue if Carey Port has to be implemented.

1 1.0 INTRODUCTION the Term Protein
1.0 INTRODUCTION The term protein was derived from the Greek word ‘proteios’ which means ‘primary’ and therefore well chosen since protein is the first recognizable and distinctive expression of genetic information (Ananta and Rajib, 2008). Proteins are made up of linear polymers of amino acids in which the total number of amino acids residues are higher than fifty. They are classified based on their functions, properties and structures (Tayyab and Boyce, 2006). Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules in the cells and play an important role performing a variety of functions in the living systems. These includes transportation of many low molecular weight compounds, catalyzing specific chemical reactions, helping in transmission of nerve impulses, performing a storage function during growth and development, providing mechanical support, involve in the immune response as defense mechanism and also as growth regulator in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (Tayyab and Boyce, 2006). Proteins have been isolated from various sources due to their therapeutic potentials and commonly investigated for their antifungal and antimicrobial properties. According to Moller et al. (2008), bioactive proteins and peptides are derived from animal and plant sources, as well as from mushrooms. Bioactive proteins have been detected directly or indirectly after release by hidrolysation or fermentation from many sources including bovine blood, gelatin, meat, eggs and various fish species like tuna, sardine, herring and salmon and also in wheat, maize, soy, rice, mushrooms, pumpkin and sorghum. The mushroom is a macrofungus with a distinctive fruiting body which can be either epigeous or hypogeous and large enough to be seen with naked eye and to be picked 1 by hand (Chang and Miles, 1992).
