...We have heard about the act of deforestation to make room for more land, such as crops. This not only puts endangered species in harms way as the act alone kills them, but it leaves the living without a home. A Huffington Post article entitled, 'Pygmy Elephants' Protection Was Slated Through Forest Reserve Designation In Malasia, Says WWF' (Eileen Ng, 01/31/2013) focuses on an area of Borneo (Sabah) that is home to the Pygmy Elephant. With fewer than 1,200 left in Malaysia, the elephant today is a severely endangered species. This is partly due to the fact that farmers are converting forests into crops for oil and rubber plantations, limiting these elephants to where they can and can not go. The executive director of The World Wildlife Fund of Malaysia made a statement saying, “Conversions result in fragmentation of the forests, which in turn results in loss of natural habitat for elephant herds, thus forcing them to find alternative food and space, putting humans and wildlife in direct conflict.” The land-form can be described as flat and ideal for agriculture, unlike mountainous regions also found in Southeast Asia. For an elephant, this makes it ideal for grazing which is problematic for the farmer. Rather than consult with the forestry department, farmers are taking matters into their own hands and poisoning the gentle beings. "The elephants are feared to have been poisoned because they encroached on Malaysian plantations, giving fresh urgency to activists' warnings of...

...In the evening of February-17-2011 approximately 3pm, our lecturer, Mr. Alan, invited a special guess who is going to give a talk about effective communication, Ms Jasmine Leong. First and for most, she is the group executive manager of IEC and also a toastmaster from KK Toastmasters Club. The club will specially train people to speak well as well as improve one’s language. The members whom train always speak and comment at the same time. This is because everyone gets the chance to speak and when other speaker speaks, you can analyze their mistake for further improvement. Furthermore, I have learnt that there are three major importances when it involves public speaking, there are tone, language and body language. Most of these three actions cover up the overall percentage of a person’s performance. She is here to introduce us the important of communication which is public speaking. I have never known that public speaking is the top two of fear which all human beings fear until she told us. It looks like nowadays we youngster have not yet realize how important it is yet, but still death is placed at top one of fear. I underestimated the use of public speaking once, as I thought that it is something we can learn it very fast. But I was wrong, with the lessons, as an assignment, given to each student as each has to talk for at least two minutes, topics are given on stage. Seriously, outside of that particular room, you can blab that two minutes will pass indeed fast but inside...

...In 1963, Malaysia was formed when the federation of the eleven Peninsula states was joined by Singapore, British North Borneo (renamed Sabah) and Sarawak (Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2008). Yet, Singapore was expelled from it after two years to become an independent country. Although both of them belong to the same geographical area which is ASEAN, the acronym for Association of South-East Asian Nations, they seem to be different in their development levels (Association of South-East Asian Nations, 1967). It is undeniable that these two countries are sharing several similarities since they are located relatively close to one another. However, there is still a difference in many aspects. These similarities and differences will be apparent with the comparison based on geography, language, education and political system. From the geographical point of view, Malaysia and Singapore are neighbors because Singapore is the islands between Malaysia and Indonesia. Both of them are located in South-East Asia and having the same climate which is tropical (Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). The situation is absolutely different when it comes to their physical geography. Most of Malaysia is covered by forests and mountains as it consists of a large area of land which is about 330,000 square kilometers whereas Singapore is covered by a small area of land which is approximately 700 square kilometers. In addition, the highest mountain in Malaysia, Mount Kinabalu, is 4100 meters above...

Total Revenue = 10*570,000 = $5,700,000 Total Cost = 250,000 + (8*570,000) = 250,000 + 4,560,000 = $4,810,000 Expected profit = 5,700,000 – 4,810,000 = $890,000 17.2 Game Show Uncertainty: E = (2,000,000*.50) + (500,000*.50) = $1,250,000 If the person doesn’t play, he goes back with $1,000,000. Since the expected earning is more if he continues to play, he should make an attempt to guess since he’s got a 50% chance of doubling his winnings. 19.3 Bicycle Insurance and Information Asymmetry: Yes, there will be an adverse selection problem. Depending on the theft rate of the area that the consumer lives in, the individual selling the bicycle theft insurance should be able to determine whether or not a high- or low-risk rate should be charged. 20.3 Locator Beacons for Lost Hikers: With the locator beacons being made available to hikers, this would definitely cut costs that the Forest Service incurs in terms of overhead and gas resources needed to locate lost...

Respondent Commission on Elections (COMELEC) refused to give due course to petitioner’s Certificate of Candidacy in its Resolution No. 6558 dated January 17, 2004.

...Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim Assalamualaikum warahmatullahhi wabaraktuh and a very good ........ First and foremost, permit me to put on record my sincere and utmost appreciation and gratitude to the organizers for inviting me to speak today. It is indeed a privilege and honour to have this opportunity to address you all on the subject which is very important, but distant, as the day goes by. On accepting this invitation, I hope to do justice and I will be thrilled if the little that I am going to share can spark a significant enough interest to enact discussion, discourse and action that will bring about betterment to us all in our life contributing towards a sustainable growth and development for Malaysia. Before I push through, I would like to appeal that every each of us free our mind, shed all the pre-conceive thoughts that we have and take a neutral stance instead. Likewise, we must always remember that the issues at hand are the focus and not the actors, even though at times we know we have to acknowledge them. To my mind, this is important and could well be the pre-requisite for us to have a fair and meaningful discussion which is needed for us to progress. While we have to appreciate the ideals and wishes of all sectors, we must also be realistic in our approach for we all know that there are boundaries and constraints that bind us. For this to happen, we need to engage with one another and if needs be, compromised to aligned our minds and chart the way forward...

...Name: Ramlah Binte Eesah Student ID: K1571682 Course Title: BA English with Psychology Assignment Number: TMA02 Should the Singapore MOE continue to conduct overseas learning journeys even after the incident of the Sabah Earthquake? One of the best ways to broaden our minds is to travel and be exposed to the world. Schools in Singapore provide overseas learning journeys to encourage students to learn not only through the classroom but also through experiential learning, giving them the chance to break out of their academic routine. Students should be encouraged to embark on overseas learning journeys provided by their schools as it develops their leadership skills, gives them a greater sense of independence and confidence, and allows them to become appreciative and altruistic individuals (Ministry of Education (MOE), Para 1, 2014). Overseas learning journeys have allowed students to develop their leadership skills. The Member of Parliament, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, highlighted that “For many of the students, the experience of having to overcome the physical and mental challenges to conquer Mount Kinabalu was a metaphor for learning to conquer themselves and future challenges in life” (MOE, Para 7, 2015). Such trips have enhanced students’ social competence, allowing them to go beyond their comfort zones and confront challenges that may befall them. These experiences have been beneficial to students as they learn to resolve issues and make independent decisions without family...

...9/26/12 Absolute Poverty in Malaysia | Infernal Ramblings This is the printable version of an article from Infernal Ramblings (infernalramblings.com). The original web-optimised article is also available. Absolute Poverty in Malaysia In Sabah, a family of six is being forced to live on RM5 a day. Absolute poverty is present in Malaysia, and this absolute poverty is resulting in wasted human potential. Written by johnleemk on 6:38:04 am Apr 15, 2007. The World Bank defines absolute poverty for an individual as living on less than USD1 a day. This measure has been criticised for not taking many factors into account, and aiming for a nice round number instead, but let's take this at face value anyway. Recently, it was reported that in Penampang, Sabah, a young boy killed himself after he could not afford to buy ice cream in school, and his classmates called the food he packed from home "dog vomit". According to the New Straits Times, the boy's mother (who suffers from thalassaemia and a heart problem) is supporting a family of six (after his death) on RM70 a month from the Welfare Department. After the son's suicide made headlines, the Welfare Department upped it to RM150. Perhaps we aren't as great a country as we'd like to think. We think we've made great strides forward, but yet there are people virtually dying of starvation. True, they might not die directly of hunger — but if they are committing suicide because of poverty, the consequences are exactly the same....
