2 Nights Kuala Lumpur, 1 Night Genting, 2 Nights Tamannegara ) MALAYSIA MAUJ 5 NIGHTS/ 6 DAYS ( 2 NIGHTS KUALA LUMPUR, 1 NIGHT GENTING, 2 NIGHTS TAMANNEGARA ) Description Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying parts of the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. It's known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultural influences. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers such as the iconic, 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers. Tour Highlights Kuala Lumpur: The official residence of the Malaysian King, the Istana Negara, is also situated in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, Kuala Lumpur is home to the tallest twin buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers, which have become an iconic symbol of Malaysia's futuristic development. Genting: The Main Range - also known poetically as Banjaran Titiwangsa in Malay - is a ridge of Granite Mountains that forms Peninsula Malaysia’s north-south backbone. Many of the range’s peaks reach above 6,000 feet and this is where the cool hill stations of Cameron Highlands, Fraser’s Hill and Genting Highlands lie. Genting is acknowledged as Malaysia’s premier hillside station; this Kuala Lumpur mountain peak getaway is Malaysia’s Asian-style Las Vegas. Renowned for its casino, nightlife and luxury hotels, it features the First World Hotel – which was listed as the world's largest hotel in 2006 by the Guinness World Book of Records. Tamannegara : Taman Negara is a vast national park on the Malay peninsula of Malayasia. It encompasses a sprawling tropical rainforest that's said to be 130 million years old. Kuala Tahan, the main entry point, is a base for the nearby canopy walkway, river trips and treks through the jungle to the top of Mt. Tahan. The park is home to tigers, macaques Page 1/6 and birdlife, as well as the enormous flowers of the rafflesia plant.

It rules the roost with a jambalaya of stalls selling knockoff handbags, wallets, purses, shoes, belts, watches and more as well as booths with DIY home decorations, traditional handicrafts and kitsch knick knacks. Those looking to grab art pieces by local artists can head to Central Market while Chow Kit Market and Kasturi Walk are filled with mini stalls selling everything from sunglasses and second hand books to pre-loved clothes and figurines.

Foremost, I would like to thank my major professor, Dr. Mel Sunquist, and his partner, Fiona Sunquist, for their tireless guidance and encouragement. His generosity and courage to take on foreign students who always require more attentions and logistics deserve honor. Had it not been for the serendipity to have become acquainted with Fiona, none of this would have been realized. Fiona’s trademark feel-good-talks often helped me lift sunken spirits. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. John Eisenberg, Dr. Mike Moulton, Dr. Jim Nichols, and Dr. Scot Smith, for critiques and comments on the dissertation. Dr Nichols trained me on the science of population estimation. His patience with me was much appreciated. Although not as an official committee member, advice and support provided by Dr. Ullas Karanth of the Wildlife Conservation Society-India were vital to the project. My intellectual phenology has been shaped by the works of Dr. Eisenberg and Dr. Larry Harris, under whom I was fortunate to learn during their last years at the University of Florida. My spirit for the carnivore conservation was fueled by the works and characters of Drs.

A total of 85 species from 14 families were collected. Of these 72 species are the new records for Krau Wildlife Reserve. A new species of Prodasineura was collected, and yet to be named.

  • Tourism Management at Taman Negara (National Park), Pahang, Malaysia: Conflict and Synergy
    Tourism Management at Taman Negara (National Park), Pahang, Malaysia: Conflict and Synergy Yahaya Ibrahim* Mohd Sayuti Hassan** Abstract Many developing countries successfully use the attractions of nature to promote tourism in protected and unprotected areas. The attainment of sustainable tourism requires careful management of tourists to prevent deleterious effects on the environment, the host community and tourist satisfaction. The emphasis on conflict management and sustainable development is based on the diligent usage of available resources, especially in the context of planning, commitment and the involvement of management as well as the interested parties. The focus of the study is on‘ Taman Negara’ or National Park in Pahang, Malaysia which is a protected area of international importance as reflected in its listing as an Association of South East Asian (ASEAN) Heritage Site (DWNP, 1987). The main goal is to develop synergy and conflict management among the local government, communities and private sector strategy in order to realize the sustainable high quality nature based tourism that is promised by Taman Negara. To achieve this goal, the following objectives will be looked into. First, the characteristics of synergy and conflict among the departments related to Taman Negara; second, to examine the development by private sector and motivations of visitors to Taman Negara; third, to explore the issues that impact the local communities and tourists; and fourth, to ensure the preservation of nature and to promote the concept of sustainable use of resources at Taman Negara to ensure its sustainability both for the present and the future. This paper examines the management role of various departments over this national park.

  • Kuala Tahan Stretch of Tembeling River, Jerantut Pahang INROD
    Geological Society ofMalaysia Bulletin 51 June 2005 p.77-82 Sedimentological and palaeontological study along the Kuala Tekai­ Kuala Tahan stretch of Tembeling River, Jerantut Pahang Ainu! Rubizah Ariffin, Sharifah Shahira Wafa Syed Khairulmunir Wafa, Saiful Abdullah and Uyop Said Geology Programme, School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Abstract: The rock succession which is exposed along the riverbank from Kuala Tekai to Kuala Tahan of Tembeling River was mapped and interpreted by previous workers as part of the Semantan Formation. However, detailed sedimentological and palaeontological study which was carried out during this study distinguished the succession into the Semantan Formation and the Mangkin Sandstone Formation of the Tembeling Group. The Semantan Formation consists of three major sedimentary facies, namely; laminated siltstone interbedded with shale facies, laminated carbonaceous shale facies, and graded bedding sandstone facies. Four major sedimentary facies were identified in the rock succession of the Mangkin Sandstone Formation. These are pebbly sandstone interbedded with sandstone facies, massive sandstone facies, interbedded sandstone and siltsone facies and interbedded sandstone and mudstone facies. The discovery of fairly well-preserved palynomorphs in the studied rock succession can be utilised in interpreting the age of the rocks. Some twenty palynomorph taxa were identified which include Retitriletes circolumenus, Lycopodiumsporites sp., Lycopodiumsporites eminulus, Klukisporites variegatus, Neoraistrickia truncates and Cyathidites punctatus. The identified palynomorph assemblage is comparable to Stylosus Assemblage of Neocomian-Aptian age. Abstrak: Jujukan batuan yang tersingkap di sepanjang tebing Sungai Tembeling dari Kuala Tekai ke Kuala Tahan telah dipetakan dan ditafsirkan oleh pengkaji terdahulu sebagai Formasi Semantan.
