  • 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).

Correspondence Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In any business, customers are the main sources that contribute to revenue and keep the business going on, year by year passes. People may think that the aviation industry is one of the highest costs in transportation, but if compared to the services and benefits offered, it should be considered as worth money paid. The discussion throughout the paper focuses on passengers’ satisfaction with the service quality provided by Malindo Air. To collect the data on customer satisfaction, a survey on Malindo Air was conducted. The results of the findings demonstrated that service quality is critical to maintaining the passengers' satisfaction. Keywords: Airplanes, Customer Satisfaction, Satisfy, Service Quality and Malindo Air INTRODUCTION Airplanes are one of the most important transportation in the whole world. Airplanes are used to transport both humans and parcels all around the world. It is a transportation that saves a lot of time and also shorten the distance in travelling from one place to another. There are two types of operations in the Aviation Industry which include Low-Cost Carriers (LCC) and Full Cost Carriers (FCC). Low-cost carriers (LCC) are emphasizing on low-cost operations by means it has low fares and fewer comforts.
