  • MALAYSIA the Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil Bin
    MALAYSIA The Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil bin Hamzah and Suzana Mohkeri Wetlands International-Asia Pacific INTRODUCTION Malaysia is comprised of 13 federal states with Kuala Lumpur as the federal capital situated in the Federal Territory. Eleven states are in West Malaysia (also known as Peninsular Malaysia) and two states are situated in Borneo Island. Selangor is one of the most highly developed and urbanized states in Malaysia. However, there are still large areas of forested lands scattered throughout the state either under forest reserves, owned by the state, private companies or private landowners. Since the beginning of civilization rivers have been the most important source of food, water resources and transportation. In Malaysia, human settlement always related or concentrated along the rivers. Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), is one of the main rivers in the state of Selangor. The headwater of Sungai Selangor originates from the highland area of the Titiwangsa Range, which is part of the Main Range, the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia. It is an important source of water supply for domestic and agriculture use and fishing industries for people living along the riverbanks. Sungai Selangor flows mainly through oil palm estates and small villages and it does not pass through any major towns. Thus the riparian vegetation along the riverbanks is still intact. According to a report prepared by the Department of Environment, Sungai Selangor river basin is listed as one of the two cleanest rivers in Selangor (Environmental Quality Report, 1996). This river is highlighted here not because of its important food and water resources but of its ecotourism factor.

Among these modes, bus transportation continues to be the top choice for intercity travelers in Malaysia. Bus offers more flexibility compared to the other transport modes. Due to its relatively cheaper fare as compared to the air transport, bus is more affordable to those with low income. However, bus transport service today is starting to face higher competition from rail and air transport due to their attractive factors. The huge challenge faced by intercity bus transport in Malaysia is the management of its services. The intercity bus transport does not fall under one management; unlike rail transport which is managed under Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), or air transport which is managed under Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).

  • Malaysia Airlines Berhad
    Malaysia Airlines Berhad Chai Yuan Ping1, Daisy Mui Hung Kee2, Chai Yee Ling3, Chew Shi Xian4, Wong Chun Sian5, Yusef Hamad Alnasser6 Universiti Sains Malaysia1,2,3,4,5 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Kuwait University6 ABSTRACT MAS Airlines was branded as Malaysia Airlines and known as the second big airlines' company in Malaysia. We choose MAS Airlines as our targeted company in this project due to the huge information can be accessed on the Internet and the issues that go through by MAS Airlines in this few years. We have accessed the current issue faced by our targeted company, MAS Airlines. According to our research, we found out that the company is having difficulties in competing with the competitors, facing unprofitability and failed to turnover and managing its technical capacity. Problems identified were flight MH001, an Airbus from London to Malaysia which forced to turn back more than an hour, MH134 which returned to Brisbane due to misplacement of plastic covers and the emergency landing of MH122. We followed our findings by investigating the reasons for those tragedies from happening. Since the airline had undergone top management handover, the company is obviously struggling with staff engagement. From a factual perspective, the airline is currently experiencing losses continuously for 3 years which ended up with dramatic RM1 billion losses when implementing a restructuring plan. High operation expenditure such as excessive high salary paid to top management is believed to be the dominating cause. Besides, extreme cash outflow due to the purchase of an aircraft was also regarded as a bad investment.
