Dugong

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you..
Thanks for viewing my blog.

Today Flora and Fauna will bring you the unique species of Dugong. Yes, the same species of the once popular animal in Malaysia that called "Si Tenang" a few years ago which is found by fisherman lost at the Straits of Johor from its colony.


Dugong 1

CHARACTERISTICS

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is a large marine mammal which, together with the manatees, is one of four living species of the order Sirenia. It is the only living representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae; its closest modern relative, Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), was hunted to extinction in the 18th century. dugong is the only strictly-marine herbivorous mammal, as all species of manatee utilize fresh water to some degree.

The dugong has been hunted for thousands of years, often for its meat and oil. Despite being legally protected in many countries throughout their range, the main causes of population decline remain anthropogenic, and include hunting, habitat degradation, and fishing-related fatalities. With its long lifespan of 70 years or more, and slow rate of reproduction, the dugong is especially vulnerable to these types of exploitation. In addition, dugongs are threatened by storms, parasites, and their natural predators, sharks, killer whales, and crocodiles.

HABITAT

Its habitat range into almost 37 countries throughout the Indo-Pacific.


Photobucket

Groups of 10,000 or more are present on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, at Shark Bay, and in Torres Strait south of New Guinea. Before 1970, it is thought that large populations were also present in Mozambique and coastal Kenya, but these have dwindled. Palau also has a small population. On January 22, 2003, an individual was found (weight 300 kg, length 2 m) off the coast of Tanzania.

A small number of dugongs are also found in the Straits of Johor, in the Philippine provinces of Palawan, Romblon, Guimaras and Davao Oriental, in the Arabian Sea along Pakistan and in the Red Sea in Egypt provinces Marsa Alam at Marsa Abu Dabbab. The remaining dugongs in the Persian Gulf were reportedly further endangered by repeated U.S.-Iraq conflicts.

An endangered population of 50 or fewer dugongs survives around Okinawa.

ECOLOGY AND LIFE

Feeding -
As a herbivors, dugong diets and mainly on sea-grass, hence being called as 'sea-cows'. They will also go to any fresh water sources for drinking. Without these fresh water sources, many would not survive. The amount of these fresh water sources, however, is beginning to decline.


Dugong

Migration -
During the winter, a few herds of dugongs will move to warmer places in the northern countries, such as bays and canals. Dugongs also live in warmer waters of many other countries near the equator.

Reproduction -
Gestation in the Dugong lasts around 13 months, and results in the birth of a single young. The calf is not fully weaned for a further two years, and does not become sexually mature until the age of 8-18, longer than in most other mammals. As a result, despite the longevity of the Dugong, which may live for fifty years or more, females give birth only a few times during their life, and invest considerable parental care in their young.

TRIVIA

Dugong has a long history with the human and it is proved by the 5000-year old painting at Gua Tambun, Perak.

COMMENT

Dugong was the only surviving species from the family of once diverse dugongidae. If a serious conservation did not take place. This unique species will someday extinct.

Here is a video of greenpeace activist trying to preserve the natural habitat of Dugong at Okinawa, Japan.

Perak Crisis... Again?

Assalamualaikum and peace be upon all of you..
Thanks for viewing my blog.

flag of perakPerak's coat of arm

Yesterday, 7 May 2009 was the Perak State Assembly opening ceremony. Malaysians know well about the constitutional crisis in the state. And now, the crisis somehow has stirred a huge uproar into the assembly.

Photobucket

The opening ceremony that should be started with royal address by Perak Regent, Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah at 10am had to wait until 3.15pm to do so. Not only that, the sitting also saw 3 one hour breaks, abusive exchanges, flared tempers, much pushing and shoving between opposing lawmakers, and former speaker V. Sivakumar being removed from the assembly by policemen.

Almost 60 Pakatan supporters were arrested throughout the day, including several DAP leaders and a blogger.


CHRONOLOGY
  1. Right after BN and Pakatan Assemblymen enter the Assembly, a shouting match ensued when Sivakumar ordered Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir, his six exco members and the three independents friendly to BN to leave the sitting.
  2. Sivakumar refused to begin proceedings unless the group of 10 obeyed his directive and ordered the sergeant-at-arms to remove them. The sergeant-at-arms, however, refused to heed his instruction.
  3. Zambry tried to move a motion to sack Sivakumar twice but was rejected by the latter on both occasions despite support from all BN and independent assemblymen.
  4. The menteri besar then said that Sivakumar had been effectively expelled, which led to Deputy Speaker Hee Yit Foong presiding over the sitting at 10.50am.
  5. Zambry immediately proposed former Sungkai assemblyman Datuk R. Ganesan as the new speaker and was seconded by senior exco member Hamidah Osman.
  6. With support from 31 assemblymen, Hee duly announced to the sitting that Ganesan had been elected as the new speaker. Sivakumar, however, still refused to leave and remained firmly seated in the speaker's chair.

    Photobucket
  7. DAP assemblyman Thomas Su Keong Siong tried to grab the microphone from Ganesan which led to BN assemblymen forming a protective ring around the new speaker.
  8. As the situation worsened with the two sides nearly coming to blows, several plainclothes policemen entered the hall and tried to restore order despite shouts of protest from Pakatan assemblymen.
  9. Ganesan tried his best to reason with the Pakatan assemblymen, saying
    "the speaker is chosen by the assembly, not the rakyat".
  10. Sivakumar was then escorted out of the assembly by several policemen amid shouts of "keluarkan, keluarkan" (get him out, get him out).

    Photobucket
  11. As the chaos continued, Zambry moved a motion for prayers in anticipation of Raja Nazrin delivering the royal address.
  12. Calm was momentarily restored when all the remaining 58 assemblymen took their seats and listened to Raja Nazrin's speech.

    Photobucket
  13. Within minutes of Raja Nazrin leaving the house, Ganesan announced that the fractious meeting of the second term of the 12th Assembly was adjourned sine die.

PR COMMENT

BN angkuh, tidak hormat undang-undang - Presiden PAS
"PAS sekali-kali tidak akan menghormati kerajaan yang sememangnya tidak menunjukkan rasa hormat mereka kepada undang-undang dan perlembagaan negara,"

Pelantikan Speaker BN tidak sah!
Speaker tidak boleh dilucutkan jawatan seperti yang dilakukan Adun BN di Perak memandangkan V Sivakumar belum meletak jawatan. "hanya dalam tiga situasi sahaja speaker baru boleh dilantik iaitu speaker sedia ada meletak jawatan, meninggal dunia atau selepas penggal baru persidangan Dun bermula."- mohd Zaki

(* story from Harakahdaily)


BN COMMENT

Pelantikan Speaker, usul yang dilulus sah - Peguam
Hafarizam berkata, penyingkiran Sivakumar adalah sah kerana usul itu difailkan lebih 14 hari sebelum persidangan dan oleh itu ia perlu dibahaskan dan diputuskan pada persidangan hari ini.
Mengikut Perintah Tetap Dewan Negeri, sebarang usul yang dibawa lebih 14 hari perlu dibentangkan untuk kelulusan Dewan.

“Perkara 36A (1) (b) menyatakan bahawa tanpa kehadiran Speaker, Timbalan Speaker boleh mempengerusikan sehingga pelantikan Speaker yang baru dan Hee (Yit Foong) mengisi kekosongan itu merupakan pelantikan yang betul,” katanya kepada Bernama di sini hari ini.
Mengenai dakwaan pakatan pembangkang bahawa persidangan DUN itu tidak sah, Hafarizam berkata terdapat persetujuan Diraja bagi persidangan dan mesyuarat telah pun diwartakan.

‘‘Lagi pun, BN mempunyai 31 undi dan peraturan majoriti mudah menyatakan bahawa usul yang diluluskan hari ini semuanya sah termasuk persidangan itu,” katanya.

Muhammad Shafee berkata, dalam sebarang kes, Speaker tidak boleh menggantung mana-mana ahli Dewan untuk tidak melebihi sehari.

(* story from Utusan)


COMMENT

What has happen? What went wrong? Who is the bad guys?

Maybe that some of questions that can be heard in this situation. From my point of view, it is not the question who right or who wrong. It is whether can both sides, BN and PR can work together despite their political backgrounds.

UK multiparty House of Commons and USA Senate has prove their credibility to serve for their respective nations and their actually can work together and be less partisan in some situations. UK House of commons currently almost 11 parties in the assembly and still can retain order, even with Prime Minister is challenged by 2 shadow Prime Minister.

USA even with 2 party system, the senate is prove to be less partisan with its 6-years term.

But, what happen to Malaysia? 2 dominant party, 1 leader with 1 shadow leader, ended up with confrontations, and its only a state assembly with 59 seats.

Almost 1 year, both sides has said to serves for the people, but with the situations now, I think that some of this assemblymen only be elected not to serve for the people but for their own personal gain. Usually ended up, "this is what people want".

Just my personal view, I think we don't have to hold another by-elections or choose a new Chief Minister, but likely a conventions, so that this two party, BN and PR alike must do whatever they can to cooperate with each other... by any means necessary.
Perak have its own Vision 2015, and it is just 6 years from now....

be fast all assemblymen. Rakyat is watching...

Pahang Royal Family

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you..
Thanks for viewing my blog.

Royalty sections for today will covered about the Pahang Royal Family. Ruler of Pahang is style as HRH Sultan of Pahang.


The current Sultan of Pahang is HRH Sultan Ahmad Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar Riayatuddin Shah. He is the 5th Sultan of Modern Pahang. His reign start since 1974.


The consort of Sultan of Pahang is style as Tengku Ampuan Pahang, but the current consort is styled as Sultanah of Pahang. The current consort is HRH Sultanah Kalthom.


HISTORY

The history of the Sultanate of Pahang can be traced back since the early pre-islamic era. It is founded as a vassal state to the Sultanate of Malacca, later became a territory of the Sultanate of Johor before becoming an independence Sultanate in 1861. In early age, the State is known as Inderapura. Since its foundation in 1470, the State has been ruled by two dynasty, the descendant of Malaccan Royalty and the Johorean House of Bendahara.

The history of modern Pahang started almost significantly with the fall of Johor-Riau Empire. After the line of Malaccan Royalty as the ruler of Pahang ended with the Acheh's invasion, the Johorean House of Bendahara takes control over the land. Thus, Pahang became a territory of Johor-Riau Empire centered in the south. The House of Bendahara later control the dominion with a ruler from the family, known as the Bendahara of Pahang. Even though the dominion does not received direct conflict between Sultan Ali from the House of Bendahara and Temenggung Ibrahim from the House of Temenggung to get the Johorean throne, it still play a major role. In 1861, a mutual agreement was signed between Temenggung Ibrahim of Johor and Bendahara Tun Mutahir of Pahang, recognizing both remnant of the Empire of Johor-Riau to split into two independent Sultanate.

Earlier in 1847, Bendahara Tun Ali retired and transferred his power and authority to Tun Mutahir. Tun Mutahir previously has married to Che Puan Lingga in 1832, and thus was invested the title as the Bendahara Muda of Lingga. Tun Ahmad is among his son produced by the marriage. But in 1857, Bendahara Tun Ali signed a death sentenced to Tun Ahmad. The event resulted Tun Ahmad to flee to Singapore. Tun Ahmad returned to Pahang after the death of Bendahara Tun Ali, only to trigger a conflict with Bendahara Tun Mutahir. The conflict resulted a civil war known as the Pahangite Bendahara War. The conflict also received a political intervention from the Sultan of Terengganu, Johorean House of Temenggung and British. The conflict only come to an end with the death of Bendahara Tun Mutahir in 1863, and Tun Ahmad was hailed as the new Bendahara of Pahang. With the advised from the Sultan of Johor, Bendahara Tun Ahmad proclaimed himself as the Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Al-Mu'adzam Shah in 1884, thus becoming the first Sultan of modern Pahang. The current Pahang Royal Family is the descendant of Sultan Ahmad.

Burj Dubai

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you..
Thanks for viewing my blog.

Architecture segment today is about the current highest human structure ever built. Eventhough still incomplete, it's high has already overcome any human structure anywhere in the world. The Burj Dubai. Burj Dubai mean Dubai Tower. The tower's architect is Adrian Smith.

The total budget for Burj Dubai is about US$ 4.1 billion and takes about 5 years to complete. The building is expected to be completed by September 2009.

Burj Dubai

CHARACTERISTICS

When its finished, the high will be 818 m (2,684 ft). It is also the building with the most floors (160). Currently, eventhough classify as the highest structures in the world, all the records are still unofficials. The Council on Tall Building and Human Habitat currently not classify it as a building as it is still incomplete. Thus, until that happens, the record of highest building still hold by Taipei 101.

PURPOSE

Burj Dubai has been designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that will include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel & Serviced Apartments, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Dubai Lake.

The silvery glass-sheathed concrete building will return the title of Earth's tallest free-standing structure to the Middle East—a title not held by the region since 1311 CE when Lincoln Cathedral in England surpassed the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which had held the title for almost four millennia.

COMMENT

Maybe its confusing to imagine how high is the 818m building is. Well, just look at the Petronas Twin Tower, and imagine another twin tower is put on top of it.. that is the high of Burj Dubai. Pretty tall right?

Will be this record be broken? I still can't imagine there is other building can surpass that...

Today, after 5 years of waiting, Datuk seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak finally sworn in as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Datuk Seri Najib, who has almost 30 years of experience in politics were the first son of Malaysia 2nd Prime Minister, Tun Abdul Razak. This is the first time in Malaysia history that a son of a Prime Minister also chosen to become a Prime Minister.

Before this, he is also the youngest Chief Minister of Pahang and among the youngest minister in Malaysia history.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak just like his father, take the office of Prime Minister during the time of reduce of support to the ruling party, the National Front. Both times see the National Front (Alliances at that times) has been denied 2/3 majority in the Parliament. Many believes that Najib can bring again support for the National Front just like his father.


Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
(picture from New Straits Times)

While the former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been given the Tunship and thus be known as Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

PR REACTION

There are many perspectives of the new Prime Minister. Among others, Datuk Mahfuz Omar (PAS) has said;


"The new Prime Minister will only brings 'trouble' to the country. As many negatives impact has been given to him".

"Especially the celebrations of Najib becomes the new Prime Minister by the people unlike the times of his predecessor like Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Abdullah."

COMMENT

Well, what ever the reasons, each and everyone of us has differs point of view for certain matter. It is natural. But for me, I have done many research, the conclusions that I get is critics about Datuk Seri Najib has been point out since his carrier as a politicians begins. For example:


"The support for najib were only because of a support for his father"

So, this is just my point of view, whatever happens, he is the Prime Minister now. Any cases involve with him, I will only said like Tun Dr Mahathir will said, "Give me proof".

For Prime Minister Najib, good luck with your work..... =)
