Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS) HOLDERS OF Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS) HOLDERS OF PEFC Certificate for Chain of Custody (as of 30 April 2018) INTRODUCTION This publication is intended to offer guidance to buyers who want to purchase certified timber products from Malaysia. It contains the list of holders of the PEFC Certificate for Chain of Custody. This list of certificate holders have been assessed and verified for their compliance to the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS) operated by the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC). The MTCC is an independent organisation responsible for the development and operation of the MTCS. The MTCS consists of two components; i.e. Forest Management Certification (FMC) and Chain of Custody Certification (CoC). In a nutshell, the MTCS provides for an independent assessment of forest management practices to ensure the sustainable management of Malaysia’s forests as well as audit of timber products manufacturers or exporters to ascertain that the timber products manufactured or exported are sourced from sustainably managed forests. The MTCS has been endorsed by one of the world’s largest forest certification system i.e. the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Certified forest management units (FMUs) and timber companies are therefore qualified and issued with PEFC logo usage licences, enabling them to use the PEFC Logo either as on-product or off-product options. Buyers sourcing the MTCS-certified materials from any of the companies listed in this publication have therefore the assurance of purchasing PEFC-certified timber products. The list of holders for PEFC Certificate for Chain of Custody is presented in alphabetical order first, followed by details of the companies sorted based on the issuing PEFC notified Certification Body (CB). Contact references for these companies have been included to facilitate easy communication and enquiries as appropriate. This publication will be subjected to review periodically to provide the latest update on the list of certificate holders under the MTCS.

  • Mental Health and Trauma Counselling Module As Strategy to Enhance Counsellors’ Competency in Handling Trauma Cases Caused by Flood Calamity
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 3 ISSN: 2222-6990 Mental Health and Trauma Counselling Module as Strategy to Enhance Counsellors’ Competency in Handling Trauma Cases Caused by Flood Calamity Mohammad Nasir Bistamam1, Samsiah Mohd Jais2*, Nurul Hasyimah Mat Rani3, Mohammad Aziz Shah Mohamed Arip4, Noraini Ismail5, Muhammad Bazlan Mustafa6 Faculty of Education and Human Development, Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i3/2750 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i3/2750 Abstract Bera and Temerloh are two districts in Pahang with the worst flood calamity recorded within the country towards the end of 2014 and early 2015. This calamity has destroyed not only properties, but also deeply affected the victims psychologically especially the students. Some of the victims show symptoms of crisis and trauma in short terms and long terms which are affecting the wellbeing of their lives. These victims might suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if their symptoms of crisis and trauma are not treated accordingly. As such, the presence of counselling teachers competent in mental health and trauma counselling are essential in such critical moment. However, most counselling teachers are not well-trained particularly in handling mental health counselling in order to help the victims. There are four main objectives of the Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP): i) to develop human capital among the Graduate Interns (GI) who would be competent in handling and transferring the mental health and trauma counselling knowledge; ii) to enhance knowledge and competency level of the counselling teachers in managing mental health and trauma counselling; iii) to increase support, coping skills and resilience of the community to bounce back and recover from the symptoms of crisis and trauma caused by the flood; and iv) to acquire recognition to the academicians as experts in mental health and trauma counselling through the Mental Health and Trauma Counselling module (MHTC).

  • The Drivers of Wetland Use in Temerloh District, Pahang, Malaysia
    THE DRIVERS OF WETLAND USE IN Felix Olorunfemi TEMERLOH DISTRICT, PAHANG THE DRIVERS OF WETLAND USE IN TEMERLOH DISTRICT, PAHANG, MALAYSIA by Felix Olorunfemi MIT-UTM Malaysia Sustainable Cities Program Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract Wetlands in Malaysia are declining rapidly due to their conversion to monoculture agricultural production, especially oil palm. The main issue examined in this paper—using Temerloh District in Pahang State of Malaysia as our focus—is,,what are the driving forces behind the increasing conversion of wetlands? Data was collected through qualitative research methods, including focus groups and key-informant interviews. In addition, secondary data and 34 semi-structured household questionnaires were used to complement the information obtained from interviews and project and community visits. The findings revealed three major factors driving the use of wetlands in the district: legal, economic, and ecological. Legally, land is private property, which means that the owner can put it to whatever purpose he or she wants. Economic considerations include taxes on both used and unused land, availability of funds, interest on the part of developers, and communities’ and individuals’ perceptions of wetlands as wastelands. Additionally, government-linked companies and community cooperatives roles’ in wetland use are driven by the need for local economic development. Ecologically, most community members find wetlands to be highly suitable for oil palm cultivation. In conclusion, economic considerations and improvement of rural livelihoods override the need for wetlands conservation. Policies need to strike the right balance between improved livelihoods, development of the local economy, and conserving local wetlands. Introduction To sustain desired ecosystem functions and transform negatively impacted ecosystems into more desirable states, Tallis et al.

This study aimed to determine the demographic factors, food security and mental health status among mothers in Mentakab, Pahang. Methods: This cross-sectional study was participated by 129 mothers aged 20 years to 59 years old. Mothers were interviewed to obtain information on demographic factors, food security status (Radimer/Cornell Hunger Scale) and mental health status (DASS-21). Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to determine an association between factors and food security status. General linear model (GLM) was used to determine the difference in mental health score according to food security status group after controlling for covariates. Significance level was set at 0.05. Results: The mother’s mean age was 38.30 ± 9.70 years. Prevalence of food insecurity was 55.8%. About 39.5% of mothers were depressed, 24.0% were experienced anxiety and 16.3% of mothers were stressed. The mean depression and anxiety score were 4.11 ± 3.54 and 2.96 ± 3.19 respectively. The mean stress score was 3.91 ± 3.44. Low household income (p<0.01) was increased the risk of food insecurity by nine fold.

This research set out to assess the structural vulnerabilities of damaged rural houses to severe winds in Temerloh and lessons learned from windstorm damage through field surveys of damaged homes between March 2019-August 2019 and supplemented by district- level post-windstorm reconnaissance reports prepared by Malaysia Civil Defense Force (APM) and other information gathered from local government. Results indicate poor performance of structural and non-structural building components in resisting high wind loads due to inadequate design, under- strength of failed building materials and defective construction details. The results of this study could have important implications for government agencies, NGOs, builders, and engineers in assisting rural communities in reconstructing windproof resistant homes and planning for future windstorm risk management efforts specially catered to homeowners in Temerloh.

  • Pahang State History: a Review of the Published Literature and Existing Gaps
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 23, No. 1, (2016), 35–64 Pahang State History: A Review of the Published Literature and Existing Gaps ABU TALIB AHMAD School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM Pulau Pinang, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract: This essay argues on the need to focus on state history—in this case, Pahang state history—as a way of enhancing the national history. As a starting point, a review of the existing literature highlights gaps which require attention in the writing of such history for Pahang. The review starts with the traditional texts relating to Pahang history followed by the major works that have been written thus far: the 1891–1895 anti-British uprising; the Orang Asli in state history; migration; change before 1957; the post-1957 in Pahang history; museums and state history; and gaps in both the visual and printed narratives on Pahang history. The discussion is based on secondary works on Pahang published in both Malay and English. Keywords and phrases: state history, national history, review, gaps, secondary works Introduction Since the last 400 years, there has been a cyclical interest in state history in the Malay peninsula. Quite often its importance is displaced by a much wider history or historical themes that trancend more than one state. The earliest form of state history comes in the form of chronicles like the Sejarah Melayu (Cheah and Abdul Rahman 1998; A Samad 2003), Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa (Siti Hawa 1991) and the Hikayat Seri Kelantan (Mohd Taib 2004). However there is little interest in this form of state history although the hikayats affected the way history is projected in the state museums and the National Museum as well (Abu Talib 2015).
