We had closed the previous quarter with our best fundraising efforts to date, a pipeline of volunteering efforts to roll out & aspirations for deeper community development. Like the rest of the world, we instead experienced abrupt disruption to our plans & our expectations quickly changed. The pandemic caused much anxiety, forcing a reassessment of the regular activities we had gotten so accustomed to. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that circumstances posed an existential threat to our organisation. While we battled our own challenges, we continued to keep our focus on external needs that developed as the pandemic raged on. Although we hardly did ‘business as usual’, we stayed true to finding ways to still be of service during this time by: a.1 Mobilising & empowering people to support & help those in need. Foreword b.2 Facilitating the sharing of resources & networks to overcome the challenges brought about by the pandemic. c.3 Providing relief & supporting recovery & resilience building efforts in Orang Asli communities.

  • 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.

  • Critical Analysis of Sustainable Development of Bukit Lagong
    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(7): 364-370, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Sustainable development of Lagong Hill Forest Reserve, Malaysia 1Er, A.C., 2Raja Datuk Zaharaton Raja Zainal Abidin, 3Pereira, J.J. 1Senior Lecturer, School of Social, Development and Environmental Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia. 2Visiting Scholar, Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan. 3Deputy Director SEADPRI/ Principal Felow, Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan. Abstract: Lagong Hill Forest Reserve, gazetted as a forest reserve, is rich in forest biodiversity and is also a water catchment area. The aim of this paper is to assess Lagong Hill Forest Reserve from the perspective of sustainable development. The concept of resource transition by relying on nature’s “income” without depleting its “capital” is applied. Inclusive in the assessment of sustainable development is cultural pluralism as there are two indigenous settlements in this forest reserve. The major findings are related to the economic activities of quarrying, timber production and ecotourism, and the livelihood of the indigenous villagers, in terms of their impact on sustainable development. Quarrying is an extractive industry based on finite resources. This is basically depleting the “capital” of this forest reserve. In addition, rehabilitation and beautification works needs to be taken at the end of the concession period to prevent rock fall or landside and also for aesthetics respectively. The adoption of Reduced Impact Logging on a compartmental basis can lead to sustainable timber by tapping on natures ‘income” without depleting its “capital”.

  • Construction Aggregate Resources in the Federal Territory and Central Selangor
    Geological Society of Malaysia Annual Geological Conference 2000 September 8-9 2000, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Construction Aggregate Resources in the Federal Territory and Central Selangor CHEONG KHAI WENG & YEAP EE BENG Department of Geology, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor have produced 29% of the total crushed rock production in Malaysia. The average consumption per capita in 1998 was 3.74 tonnes of aggregates. It is estimated that the current rock reserve in this area can only cope with the demands of this region for the next 30 years. Thus, the exploitation of aggregate resources must be planned carefully and integrated with other types of landuse.

  • CASE STUDY of ROCK AGGREGATES in EASTERN SELANGOR Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 53, June 2007, Pp
    MINERALS SECURITY THROUGH LANDUSE PLANNING – CASE STUDY OF ROCK AGGREGATES IN EASTERN SELANGOR Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 53, June 2007, pp. 89 – 93 Mineral security through landuse planning – Case study of rock aggregates in Eastern Selangor JOY JACQUELINE PEREIRA Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Abstract: There is a need to ensure long-term security for the supply of rock aggregates in Selangor, in view of the impending implementation of the Selangor Policy on Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs). Preliminary findings from a case study of rock aggregates in Eastern Selangor reveal that six quarries and 66% of new aggregate resources in the state are located in highly sensitive ESAs, which are categorised as “no go areas” for quarrying. At least ten quarries and another 26% of new resources are located in ESAs of medium and low sensitivity, which are areas of “controlled development” requiring special circumstances and very strict conditions for quarrying. Only 8% of the new resources identified are actually available for exploitation in the future. Aggregate landbanks and buffer zones should be delineated and gazetted in local development plans and efforts should be made to thoroughly investigate potential resources outside of the ESAs. This effort should be augmented by the promotion of recycled concrete aggregates to maintain aggregate security and ensure sustainable development. Abstrak- Perlaksanaan Dasar Kawasan Sensitif Alam Sekitar (KSAS) Selangor dijangka menjejas jaminan bekalan batuan agregat di negeri tersebut. Hasil awalan kajian kes di bahagian timur Selangor mendapati bahawa terdapat enam kuari dan 66% daripada sumber aggregate baru yang bertapak di KSAS berkesensitifan tinggi yang melarang kegiatan pengkuarian.

Dalam tempoh pelaksanaan Dasar Agromakanan Negara (DAN), jumlah pengeluaran bunga negara dijangka meningkat daripada 468 juta keratan atau pasu pada tahun 2020 iaitu pertumbuhan sebanyak 6.2% setahun. Nilai eksport forikultur pula diunjurkan meningkat daripada RM449 juta pada tahun 2010 kepada RM857 juta pada tahun 2020. Penubuhan Jawatankuasa Food and Agro Council for Export (FACE) bagi menyelaras pelaksanaan pengeluaran untuk eksport bagi agromakanan diharapkan mampu meningkatkan eksport agromakanan negara. Malaysian Agro Networking (MAN) mengikut subsektor tanaman iaitu buah-buahan, sayur-sayuran dan florikultur telah ditubuhkan melalui beberapa siri perbincangan dengan pihak Persatuan Pengeluar Subsektor Tanaman. MAN (Florikultur) berperanan sebagai medium perbincangan di antara Jabatan Pertanian dan Jabatan/ Agensi berkaitan dengan pemain industri bagi meningkatan pengeluaran florikultur khususnya bagi tujuan eksport.
