Chronicle 2012 (Our Story Continues /...) Hikayat 2012 Chronicle 2012 (Our Story continues /...) CETDEM is a Not-for-Profit Organisation with tax-exempt status. Recipient of Energy Globe National Award 2012 & SelangorKu Grant 2012. 17 Jalan SS2/53 47300 Petaling Jaya MALAYSIA T: +603 – 7875 7767 F: +603 – 7875 4039 http://www.cetdem.org.my facebook.com/cetdem.org.my From the Chairman's Desk ... WELCOME to this inaugural issue of our Hikayat which is an attempt to go beyond our usually dry Annual Report and reach to our many friends and supporters. We hope that you will find it worth reading while getting a better understanding on how CETDEM has performed in 2012. Our regret is that it is coming out a bit late and not in the first half of Jan. May I draw your attention to a few highlights – the sustained organizing of Organic Days [Hari Organik] by the Organic Farming Project team and its volunteers as well as the start of Farmers’ Corner. The other event held in this area was the National Organic Agriculture Seminar. SUDI [our new think tank] published its study report LOWERING THE HEAT in midyear. The Fit & Save Roadshow started with an event in Kuantan during Oct. I passed over the regional coordination of the Climate Action Network SE Asia [CANSEA] to my Thai colleague in Sept. while Anthony assumed coordination of the Malaysian Climate Change Group [MCCG] in March. As you would notice we have managed all these activities with very few full-time staff [including those engaged in projects] as well as volunteers [including foreigners] who were with us for short periods. This has continued to pose a challenge to productivity [and sometimes a messing up of records and data bases]. Secure funding for basic allowances and overheads has still eluded us and fund-raising efforts have not been too successful. Despite all these, I think that CETDEM has performed reasonably well and wish to thank all Board members, the ED, OF Project Coordinator, staff, and volunteers for their efforts during the year. I trust that you will continue to support CETDEM in whatever way possible and get your friends/colleagues to chip in as well. Gurmit Singh, CETDEM Chairman, [email protected] The ED writes ... CETDEM was quite the 'busy bee' during the past year, organising events and managing projects as we continued to live out the tagline of 'Always Promoting Sustainable Development'. This edition of Hikayat / Chronicle highlights the work done by CETDEM in 2012 which include the completion of first SUDI study, publication and launch of report; CETDEM's Climate Change Seminar held on World Environment Day; CETDEM's National Organic Agriculture Seminar in July; 3 CETDEM Hari Organik were organised and a monthly CETDEM Farmer's Corner was added to the existing roster of Organic Farming Project activities; and, the FIT & SAVE Roadshow kicked-off in October. CETDEM's views and comments continue to be much sought after by the Media – be it a flood, landslide, haze, the Budget, nuclear power or rare earth processing – for a quick reaction from the Chairman of the Board or, Executive Director. The Executive Director, in consultation with the Chairman, handles all the administrative and financial matters. Each of the projects has personnel for its specific duration. However, the long-term survival of CETDEM necessitates adequate funding of about RM100,000 per annum for general operating expenses (and non-project staff). CETDEM welcomes contributions and pledges of financial support from the Malaysian Public & Private sectors and individuals. Anthony Tan Kee Huat, CETDEM Executive Director, [email protected] Page 1 ALWAYS PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT & PROVIDING PRATICAL & SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS SINCE 1985 CONTENTS Item Page From the Chairman's Desk … 1 The ED writes … 1 Sustainable Development Initiatives (SUDI) 3 Climate Change Seminar 2012 4 Organic Farming Project National Organic Agriculture Seminar 2012 5 CETDEM Hari Organik 6 Farmer's Corner & Other Organic Farming Activities 7 FIT & SAVE Roadshow 8 Climate Action Network Southeast Asia (CANSEA) / Malaysian Climate Change Group (MCCG) 9 Recognition / Grants 10 Other Activities: Talks / Relationship Building / Training 11 CETDEM – In the News 12 CETDEM Board of Directors 13 CETDEM Membership 13 CETDEM Staff 14 Volunteers / Interns 15 Appreciation 16 Linkages 16 Page 2 Sustainable Development Initiatives (SUDI) SUDI, CETDEM's Think Tank, was launched in August 2011. SUDI's initial study on 'Low Carbon Sustainable Development Options for Malaysia' or LCSDO started in September 2011. The LCSDO Study Team comprised of: − Engr. Gurmit Singh, Chairman of CETDEM and Director of SUDI; − Mr. Chang Yii Tan, an economist with over 30 years of experience; − Dato' Dr. Leong Yueh Kwong, who provide advice to the Team. The LCSDO study report titled 'Lowering the Heat', was launched on 14 June at Hotel Armada by Dr Lian Kok Fei, Undersecretary from the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment. The study found that while the economy has become more service oriented, subsidized fuel prices have prevented reductions in energy wastage in almost all sectors. The Climate Change Policy it is not supported by a comprehensive Sustainable Energy Policy nor that on Transport. The study team felt that the 40% intensity target announced by the PM was too low and has decided that the country should aim to lower its emissions 20% below 2007 levels by 2020, 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2050. This could be achieved by the options identified in the study. Chapter 2 identifies the low carbon options as falling into the following categories [i] renewable energy for power generation; [ii] energy efficiency [iii] transportation [iv] green buildings; [v] new forest plantation; and [vi] solid waste - source separation and composting. Chapter 3 prioritises the various options in order of magnitude of emission reduction without factoring in the marginal abatement costs. Chapter 4 emphasizes that there is a need for a change in mindset and commitment – from the government, and businesses down to the ordinary Malaysian. There will be some initial pain as subsidies are removed and renewables are implemented but these sacrifices are necessary for a sustainable and competitive future. SUDI wishes to thank: − All those who donated through a series of dinners and other fundraising efforts of CETDEM which allowed CETDEM to allocate funds for this Study; − UNDP Malaysia office for funding the cost of SUDI’s launch on 1 Aug. 2011 and that of the workshop that was held on 9 April 2012; − DIGI for the donation that covers the cost of producing this Report, its launch and other activities to disseminate its findings; − The Malaysian Insulators Association for their financial donation; − Pn Norhayati Mustapha for editing the final text; − Ms Yvonne Lee for her active contribution during her 6 month stint as Research Assistant; − All the individuals who contributed their inputs during our task group and workshop meetings; The next SUDI study is 'Eco-transformation of existing Malaysian Towns'. Study will start in Jan. 2013. Funding (RM150,000) is being actively sought and we welcome contributions and pledges from the Private Sector.

The Seminar entitled 'Adaptation and/or Mitigation – Do we have a choice?' was held on June 5. HE Mr. Vincent Piket, Ambassador & Head of the EU Delegation to Malaysia welcomed the participants. The Opening of the Seminar was officiated by YB Dato' Douglas Uggah Embas, Minister of Natural Resources & Environment, Malaysia. The purpose of this seminar was to highlight a fact, that Adaptation & Mitigation are inevitable. The effects of Climate Change continues to wreck havoc even as the negotiations process drags on from one COP to the next. CETDEM takes this opportunity to thank the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment for giving the seminar their official endorsement, and the European Union Delegation to Malaysia and Selangor State Government (via Selangorku environmental grant) for their financial support for Seminar and Report publication. The speeches, presentations and discussions are compiled in a Climate Change Seminar Report which published under the same title in June 2012. We have plans to organise the CETDEM Climate Change Seminar 2013 on 5 th June (Wednesday) with the theme focused on Adaptation. We welcome the support and cooperation of Public and Private Sectors for this 2013 edition of our annual Climate Change Seminar. Page 4 National Organic Agriculture Seminar 2012 Organic Agriculture in Malaysia started in 1986 and now covers only 0.01% of agricultural land. Our ASEAN neighbours started around 1992 and have covered between 0.1-0.2% of their total agricultural land. Why is Malaysia NOT moving as fast and how can we fast forward it? Land acquisition & access to land, market development and food production system still need to be addressed. CETDEM had addressed these issues during our 1998 Seminar: “A Malaysian Strategy To Mainstream Organic Farming”. 14 years on, it is timely to reflect, examine and recommend actions to expedite the development of Organic Agriculture.

  • Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change in the Malaysian Agriculture Sector and Its Influences in Investment Decision
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 7 (2): 225-234, 2011 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2011 Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change in the Malaysian Agriculture Sector and its Influences in Investment Decision 1Abul Quasem Al-Amin, 22Walter Leal, Josep Maria de la Trinxeria, 34Abdul Hamid Jaafar and Zabawi Abdul Ghani 1Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Administration, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Faculty of Life Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, Germany, Lohbruegger Kirchstraße 65, Sector S4, Germany 3Faculty of Business and Economics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia 4Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Abstract: This paper focuses on relevant policy strategies to reduce climate related vulnerability for Malaysian rice agriculture. Here an analysis of impacts on climate change and vulnerabilities is performed, based on observational records of inter-annual variability in precipitation and worming climatic factors. The assessment involved Global Circulation Models (GCMs) together with Crop Modeling such as DSSAT to represent a range of plausible climate scenarios. The approach used follows a bottom-up strategy, focusing on the vulnerability of Malaysian rice agriculture under economic conditions and given a wide range of potential climate outcomes. The study investigates the Malaysian rice agriculture sector under a climate and economic perspective, quantifying the merits of the projected simulation and presents an insight into the nature of tradeoff between climate variability and the likelihood of a decline of earnings for rice cultivation over the next 40 years from 2020 to 2060. The projections signify to the likely future changes and uncertainties on rice production; potential path for planning strategies for investment decision to reduce vulnerabilities and to unearth prioritizing requirements for Malaysian future agriculture.

  • Risk Profiling in Agriculture in Malaysia
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 30, No.1, 2012, 21–50 RISK IN MALAYSIAN AGRICULTURE: THE NEED FOR A STRATEGIC APPROACH AND A POLICY REFOCUS Okezie Chukwukere Austin1,2* and Amir Hussin Baharuddin2 1Department of Agricultural Economics, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike Nigeria 2School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang *Corresponding author: [email protected] The agricultural sector is exposed to a variety of risks that occur with high frequency. These risks include climate and weather, natural catastrophes, pests and diseases, which combine to cause highly variable production outcomes. The broad objective of this study is to examine these agricultural risk factors and the policies in place for countering them. The approach adopted here includes an in- depth review of literature, government policy documents and Emergency Disasters Databases (EM-DAT) data on disaster occurrences. Inferential statistics were employed in data analysis. Risk management in agriculture ranges from informal practices such as the avoidance of highly risky crops and crop and income-source diversification to formal measures such as crop insurance, a minimum-support price system and a futures market. Statistics show the prevalence of weather-related hazards of cyclone, floods, landslides, earthquake and tsunami. As to the impact of such hazards on human health, statistics for 1980–2010 show that deaths caused by epidemics amounted to 43.4% of all deaths arising from natural disasters. Epidemics accounted for the highest number of deaths against 5.8% the lowest arising from mass movement (dry). Government policy documents show that efforts have been made to manage hazards, such as the construction of the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART), the tsunami-recovery plan and the December 2006 flood- recovery plan, among others.

  • “We Just Write What We Think Is Newsy”: an Analysis on Newsworthiness Constructions in Malaysian Newspapers
    “We just write what we think is newsy”: An Analysis on Newsworthiness Constructions in Malaysian Newspapers SITI SURIANI OTHMAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2012 i This work is the intellectual property of the author (Note: if there are other owners of the IP, as a consequence of any statement issued under paragraph 12 of Section 14A, they must also be named here).

Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed in the owner(s) of the Intellectual Property Rights.” ii Abstract Studies on newsworthiness have developed mainly into two ways of explaining how events become news. These approaches, which have been called object-driven and subject- driven news values, have contributed a lot in the quest for understanding news. Previous empirical studies on news have demonstrated that concepts used as abstractions of social practices, such as newsworthiness construction, suffer either from object-driven news values explanation about newsworthiness that seeks to locate news value in the news events themselves, or from subject-driven news values which see news making as being exclusively concerned with hidden motives that are often unbeknown even to the practitioners themselves. The practitioners are, therefore, forced to explain newsworthiness by invoking contexts that are already known; for example, in terms of editorial decisions based on political, cultural and/or organisational identities which are ‘external’ to immediate empirical encounters, because such identities are compositions of a range of contextual factors.

  • Profitability and Competitiveness of Rice Farming in Malaysia: a Policy Analysis Matrix
    Profitability and Competitiveness of Rice Farming in Malaysia: A Policy Analysis Matrix Fazleen Abdul Fatah Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Stephan Von Cramon-Taubadel Georg-August-University of Goettingen Göttingen, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent years, the Malaysian rice sector has experienced structural changes to improve its competitiveness within a dynamic environment that is influenced by political, technical, economic, and international trade challenges. Using a policy analysis matrix and a rich dataset on rice producing households in four of Malaysia’s granary areas, the competitiveness of rice production in Malaysia is analyzed. The empirical results show that rice production is competitive in three of the four granary areas, the exception being Ketara granary area. To fully understand the importance of the competitive farms, they must be identified and studied by further research using disaggregated data. The finding suggests that government policy should focus on encouraging structural changes capable of enabling the local farms to grow enough to earn sufficient income, generate social profits, and thus improve the sector's competitiveness. Keywords: Policy Analysis Matrix, competitiveness, self-sufficiency, rice production, Malaysia JEL Classification: D2, Q18 32 Fazleen Abdul Fatah and Stephan Von Cramon-Taubadel INTRODUCTION it exceeded the long-term trend in recent years from 2006 to 2013 (Figure 1). Between 2005 Overview of the Rice Sector and 2013, the harvested area increased from 660,000 hectares (ha.) to 690,000 ha. Overall Rice plays an essential role in Malaysian paddy yield in Malaysia has increased from society as it fosters agricultural activity and 3.36 metric tons per hectare (MT/ha) in 2005 to contributes to the nourishment of a rising 3.91 MT/ha in 2013.
