E-mail: Abstract: The fish fauna was surveyed at Bukit Merah Reservoir of Perak (one of the oldest reservoir in Peninsular Malaysia) and its catchment areas. A total of 47 species from 19 families were recorded: 38 fish species were recorded from eight sampling stations located in selected tributaries (lotic zone), while another 25 fish species were recorded in the reservoir itself (lentic zone). Based on a combination of previously published checklists and the present survey, a total Oreochromisof 76 fish species niloticus were and recorded Clarias atgariepinus Bukit Merah Reservoir. Out of these species, 25 fish species from this survey were new records. Most of the new records were found in the catchment area of the river basin. The presence of two alien species, , should be noted as these species could affect the population of native species.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

  • The Effect of Seasonal Changes on Freshwater Fish Assemblages and Environmental Factors in Bukit Merah Reservoir (Malaysia)
    Transylv. Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. 16.1 (2014), "The Wetlands Diversity" 97 THE EFFECT OF SEASONAL CHANGES ON FRESHWATER FISH ASSEMBLAGES AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN BUKIT MERAH RESERVOIR (MALAYSIA) Zakeyuddin MOHD SHAFIQ *, Md Sah AMIR SHAH RUDDIN *, Hazrin Hashim ZARUL *, Puteh KHALED *, Mohammad SYAIFUL ** and Wan Omar WAN MAZNAH * * University Sains Malaysia, School of Biological Sciences, Minden, Penang, Malaysia, MY-11800, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ** Pulau Banding Rainforest Research Center, Pulau Banding, Gerik, Perak, Malaysia, MY-33300, [email protected] DOI: 10.1515/trser-2015-0005 KEYWORDS: Malaysia, Bukit Merah Reservoir, seasonal changes, freshwater fish, environmental factors. ABSTRACT Seasonal changes of freshwater fish assemblages and environmental factors in Bukit Merah Reservoir were carried out from January-February 2013 (dry season) to March-April 2013 (wet season) by measuring several physico-chemical parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature, pH, water conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and water clarity. 19 fish species comprising of 10 families were collected by using experimental gill nets with different mesh sizes at four different sampling stations. Mean CPUE for total catch and biomass were significantly different between dry and wet season (p < 0.05). Based on a T-test analysis, water temperature, pH and conductivity were significantly different (p < 0.05) between seasons whereas a one-way ANOVA displayed a significant difference in TDS and water clarity between sampling stations (p < 0.05), implicating that those factors did not give major influence towards other parameters in a man-made reservoir. From all fish species studied, only mean CPUE for individuals (CPUEn) of Osteochilus vittatus and Oxygaster anomalura had a significant difference between seasons (p < 0.05); probably an indicator of their migration season.

  • The Spatial Configuration of Private Investments by Economic Actors in Perak
    The spatial configuration of private investments by economic actors in Perak A consideration of centricity of the regional urban system of Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia) Luka Raaijmakers (6314554) Under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven Faculty of Geosciences Department of Human Geography and Planning Master’s degree in Economic Geography Specialisation in Regional Development & Policy November 2019 Page | 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is part of the joint research project on regional urban dynamics in Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia). The project is a collaboration between Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and Think City Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven and Matt Benson. I would like to thank dr Leo van Grunsven for his advice related to scientific subjects and his efforts to make us feel at home in Malaysia. Also, I would like to thank Matt Benson and Joel Goh and the other colleagues of Think City for the assistance in conducting research in – for me – uncharted territory. I would like to address other words of thanks to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Institut Darul Ridzuan and all other political bodies that have proven to be valuable as well as economic actors for their honesty and openness with regard to doing business in Malaysia/Perak. Finally, the fun part of writing a master’s thesis in Malaysia, apart from obviously living abroad on a vibrant island, was the part of doing research. This required a little creativity, some resilience and even more perseverance. This could not have been done without the other student members of the research team that took part in the collective effort of unravelling the urban system of Perak by using the knowledge we have gained in our years as academics.

  • Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia : Population, Spatial Distribution and Socio-Economic Condition
    Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia : Population, Spatial Distribution and Socio-Economic Condition Tarmiji Masron*, Fujimaki Masami**, Norhasimah Ismail*** Abstract Orang Asli or indigenous peoples are peoples with unique languages, knowledge systems and beliefs. Indigenous peoples often have much in common with other neglected segments of societies, such as lack of political representation and participation, economic marginalization and poverty, lack of access to social services and discrimination. Besides that, there is population problem in the community and among them often leads to the neglect of their health and of essential needs like proper clothing and nutritious foods for the whole family. In Peninsular Malaysia, Orang Asli is separated into three main tribal groups includes Semang (Negrito), Senoi and Proto Malay (Aboriginal Malay) and consists of 19 ethnic. This study was an attempt to study and mapped the spatial distribution of the Orang Asli where two kind of data collection were applied; primary data obtained from the Department of Statistics of Malaysia, consist of Orang Asli population data for each states in Peninsular between 1947 and 2010; and secondary data collection based on the literature review or previous study for any information of Orang Asli from history, distribution, issues and problems and others which significant to the study. The result showed that overall, populations of Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia increasing between 1947 and 2010 which the highest growth rate recorded in 1991 (32.96%) while the lowest in 1957 (16.01%). Between 1947 and 2010, highest Orang Asli population was recorded in Pahang and Perak while the lowest in Pulau Pinang and Perlis.
