National Forestry Act 1984 also classifies Permanent Reserve Forest (PRFs) and states that any products originating from a PRF or other State land are considered the property of the State Authority, and therefore may only be extracted with a proper license. State land forests are subjected to conversion or gazetted as PRF to replace the excised reserved forests. This particular project has been granted approval from the Department of Forestry Pahang through their letter PHN.PHG. (S) 9/74 SJ. 115 (40) for timber extraction (Refer to Appendix 1). The project will be managed by Super Radiance Sdn Bhd to undergo logging activity within an area of 360.82 Hectares (891.61 Acres) in State Land, in Mukim Endau & Rompin, Pahang Darul Makmur (Appendix 2). 1.2 PROJECT TITLE The title of the project is “The Proposed 360.82 Hectares (891.61 Acres) of Logging Activity in State Land, Mukim Endau and Rompin, District of Rompin, Pahang Darul Makmur.” Hereafter in this report, it shall be referred to as “the project”. 1.2.1 Project Organization Chart The project site will be managed by Super Radiance Sdn Bhd.

The project site (Plate 1.4.1) is located approximately within latitude and longitude points as shown in Table 1.4.1. Based on Standard Sheet from Pahang Department of Survey and Mapping (JUPEM), the project site location is mapped in the standard sheet number of 449-C (Appendix 3).

Whereas the nearest settlement area is Felda Berabong (2° 46’ 2.43’’ N, 103° 18’ 54.073’’ E) which is located approximately 3.5 km radius from the boundary of the project site.

Further up the route for approximately ±29 km (Plate 1.4.2), there will an exit to an existing unpaved access road on the left side of the Route 2488 (Plate 1.4.3 and 1.4.4). The existing access road is located at the east of the project site approximately 10 km and will be used during logging and post-logging activity. Currently, the sharing access road will be at the intersection of the main road from Kuala Rompin to Endau and Route 2488 to Felda Selendang. Therefore, it will be one of the sensitive receptors as the contractor shall share the road with the local residents. The nearest settlement which is Felda Berabong is located 4.0 km from the Project Site and might receive a significant impact from the project. Wildlife population in the State Land also was pointed as a sensitive receptor near the project site as it may be affected by the activity in the project site.

  • (Orang Asli) in Peninsular Malaysia During Periods of Food Insecurity
    Public Health Nutrition: 21(15), 2819–2830 doi:10.1017/S136898001800160X Qualitative study on identification of common coping strategies practised by Indigenous Peoples (Orang Asli) in Peninsular Malaysia during periods of food insecurity Leh Shii Law, Sulaiman Norhasmah*, Wan Ying Gan and Mohd Taib Mohd Nasir Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Malaysia Submitted 10 August 2017: Final revision received 4 May 2018: Accepted 23 May 2018: First published online 6 July 2018 Abstract Objective: To examine the types of coping strategies practised by Indigenous women or Orang Asli (OA) in Peninsular Malaysia during times of food shortage and to determine the level of severity for food insecurity that will trigger each specific coping strategy. Design: A qualitative case study was conducted. Pertinent information about each type of coping strategy was gathered by in-depth interviews. To gauge the level of severity for each of the coping strategies, focus group discussions (FGD) were held. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Setting: OA villages in the states of Kelantan, Pahang, Perak and Selangor, Malaysia. Subjects: Sixty-one OA women from three ethnic groups (Senoi, Proto-Malay and Negrito) for in-depth interviews and nineteen OA women from the Proto-Malay ethnic group for three FGD. Results: The findings identified twenty-nine different coping strategies and these were divided into two main themes: food consumption (sub-themes of food consumption included dietary changes, diversification of food sources, decreasing the number of people and rationing) and financial management (sub-themes of financial management included increasing household income, reducing expenses for schooling children and reducing expenses on daily necessities).
