“Vast concessions in #Malaysia's forests threaten millions of hectares of rich natural habitats and risk the country's commitment to 50 per cent forest cover, a report warned Tuesday (May 28).
NGO RimbaWatch said its analysis of concessions in the country's forest showed up to 3.2 million hectares could be slashed, potentially unleashing enormous carbon emissions and compromising key animal habitats.” https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sustainability/vast-concessions-threaten-malaysias-forests-report-4368726
Where to get all-day #currypuff (karipap) in #PetalingJaya ? Seems not as widely available these days, other than some early morning nasi lemak vendors. And I don't mean the fancy $5+ ones from restaurants either. #malaysia
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that Sabah also has a bamboo pole dance similar to the Philippines' Tinikling or Singkil. This one is called Magunatip.
The INS Delhi (guided missile destroyer), INS Shakti(fleet tanker), and INS Kiltan (anti-submarine corvette) reached the #Changi naval base in the city-state on Monday, the Indian Navy spokesperson said in a post on X.
The three ships will leave for #Malaysia on Thursday and then visit the #Philippines.
@liztai There’s also a question of how they trim the trees too, and how the soil around the tree is maintained. It’s quite complicated; used to get a headache reading reports by certified arborists back when I was in civil service.
I think the scariest thing is I often use this particular monorail line. Usually on Wednesdays. If it had been tomorrow...
Unfortunately one person died in this incident 😔
TankerTrackers reporting a possible #OilSpill near #Malaysia: We've noticed a 60km long spill off the coast of Kuantan, Malaysia in today's satellite imagery. Based on the two imagery sources we've compared against (taken only 3 minutes apart), the spill may have reached shore 5 hours ago.
@jkn I think it makes sense cuz juicy fruits usually grow in dry places to tempt thirsty animals haha. Here maybe the creatures don’t care as much about juicy stuff since water is everywhere.
"The March 2024 issue of the Malaysian Bird Report is now available for download.
There are field reports on anting behaviour in birds, the Bornean Frogmouth, prey taken by the Black-thighed Falconet, diet of the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot and courtship of the Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher. For those interested in raptors, Hans Peeters describes in great detail mimicry in birds of prey."
