Anak-anak Tidak Mengenal Erti Perbezaan...

Selepas bersarapan di sebuah restoran di Shah Alam sempat saya menjengah ke kedai Seven Eleven disebelahnya untuk membeli senaskah akhbar harian. Mata saya tertarik kepada tajuk akhbar Berita Harian yang menyiarkan gambar YAB Perdana Menteri kita, Dato' Seri Mohd. Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak menghadiri Perhimpunan Perdana Bersama PM yang dianjurkan oleh Persatuan Kebajikan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia atau singkatannya tidak lain dan tidak bukan PEKIDA.

Forest Of The World - Part 2

RAINFOREST

Rainforest can be defined as a multi-storied closed with continuous tree canopy of variable heights, broad-leaved forest vegetations and characteristics diversity of species and life form. It is located at 30 degree North to 30 degree South latitude of our globe. Geographically, the rainforest is an endemic type of forest that lies along the equator line.

Forest Of The World - Part 1

The total forest area in 2005 was estimated to be around 30% of the planet's land area, just under 40 million km sq. This corresponds to an average of 0.62 ha (6200 m sq.) per capita, though this is unevenly distributed. This estimate was based on data on forest reported by 228 countries and territories (1). The world's forest cover has been classified into three major categories as follows:

1. Rainforest
2. Temperate forest, and
3. Taiga or Boreal forest.

Apa Beza Kita Pilih Biru, Hijau, Biru Merah atau Biru Merah Putih?

Satu mesyuarat peperiksaan yang membosankan..itulah huraian yang layak untuk diberikan kepada mesyuarat yang baharu selesai pada jam 5.30 petang tadi. Biarkanlah sebab "saya yang menurut perintah"..

Seperti biasa sebelum pulang ke rumah yang dicintai, saya sempat melayari internet untuk melihat blog-blog yang telah sedia ada di dalam dunia maya ini..sempat jugalah saya menziarahi beberapa laman blog kepunyaan rakyat Malaysia yang sangat prihatin...cuma malangnya prihatin terhadap perkara-perkara yang tidak ketahuan kesahihannya..tapi biasalah di blog mereka telah dipaparkan "disclaimer".."ini adalah blog peribadi dan bersifat peribadi semata-mata, tidak mewakili mana-mana pihak ataupun organisasi.." Betul ke?

MTC Familiarization Programme For Lecturers - PART C

On the same day, after visited Robin Resources at Mentakab, Pahang, we are now heading for another composite-based factory which is located in vicinity. This plywood manufacturing plant name is Mentakab Veneer and Plywood (MVP) Sdn. Bhd. The truth is plywood mills are steadily declined in Malaysia and only the big and strong major players are still on the run. Many intermediate and small scale veneer and plywood manufacturers have been shut down due to dramatically increased in operational and raw material costs.

From Taiping With Love

26 - 28 Nov 2011 - Three days to be remembered in my entire life. The three most wonderful days having vacation with my beloved family to Taiping is something that money cannot afford to buy although it claims a cost. Actually, this trip is not in my planning schedule, it was all on my parent's who wanted to survey my newly promoted little sister's working area. That's all for the beginning.

Then, Me and my wife have something on the list, visit to Zoo Taiping & Night Safari and Pusat Eko-Pelajaran Hutan Simpan Larut Matang, Kuala Sepetang would do just fine. My babies screamed very happy when I broke it to them very gently. Coincidentally, I have a relative that stays at Taiping or Taman Bukit Mas as for sure. She is my auntie and I used to called her Acik Yong. We are quite close. Actually she just married to the ex-primary school headmaster's widower and moved here 4 years ago. Her husband's name is Hj. Redzuan bin Hj. Dahali and to us Pak Long is a rank's nickname as we have to respect it. Pak Long and Acik Yong have offered us to stay at their home, so we couldn't resist.

"Dilema Melayu" - Sebuah Naskah Yang Mengupas Persoalan Bangsa Melayu Yang Layu

Semasa saya menulis di entri yang terbaru ini saya sedang bercuti di Taman Bukit Mas, Taiping Perak sambil menemani adik saya membiasakan dirinya dengan kawasan tempat kerja baharunya. Di taman tersebut, saya sekeluarga bersama ibu dan bapa, isteri serta ketiga-tiga cahaya mata saya menginap di rumah ibu saudara saya yang sangat mesra dengan panggilan Acik Yong.

Acik Yong ini sebenarnya adalah anak buah arwah datuk sebelah bapa saya yang berasal dari Gerik, Perak dan kini menetap di sini mengikut suaminya. Kedatangan kami sekeluarga disambut dengan penuh mesra dan semangat kekeluargaan oleh Acik Yong dan suaminya. Terima kasih kepada Acik Yong kerana menyediakan kami dengan bilik yang cukup selesa untuk beradu.

MTC Familiarization Programme For Lecturers - PART B

On the second day of our trip (5 July 2011), we were heading to Robin Resources (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. which is located at Mentakab, Pahang. The journey took about 3 and a half hours via East Coast Expressway. Actually, we were running a bit behind schedule so we took an alternative route by asking Nizam to deliver us to the Gombak toll plaza.

Thanks to our rally driver, Mr. Nizam for successfully delivered us just on time before the bus arrived. There were only 4 staff from PSA for today's visit, Shahril, Norjie, Razli (Acai), Kamal and Me (excluded from the picture below). The MTC's chartered bus arrived approximately after sicked and tired keep in waiting 30 minutes later.

Hari Anugerah Kecemerlangan Akademik Aisyah

Tanggal 17 November 2011 merupakan satu lagi detik bersejarah dalam hidupku. Hari tersebut adalah hari di mana anak sulungku Sayyidatun Nurulaisyah diraikan bersama teman-temannya yang lain dalam Majlis Anugerah Kecemerlangan Akademik Sekolah Kebangsaan Ulu Yam Bharu. Sebagai seorang bapa aku merasa bangga di atas pencapaian tersebut walaupun anakku berada di kedudukan nombor 8. Bagiku kedudukan itu hanyalah nombor yang tidak membawa makna apa-apa pun. Yang penting adalah anak-anakku boleh membaca dan mengira, itu yang lebih penting.

Kapur Forest Association-Segregate

The term "lowland dipterocarp forest" was used by Symington (1943) to comprise all the Malaysian well-drained primary climatic climax forests (as opposed to edaphic climax forests) of the plains, undulating land and foothills up to an average elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, or in other words the forests that would be included in Burtt Davy's (1938) tropical lowland evergreen rain-forest formation (Wyatt-Smith 1995).

Farahiin's Convocation 2011

On 3rd November 2011 I've attended a "Majlis Pra-Graduasi dan Sukaneka Mukim Ulu Yam Tahun 2011" day organized by TABIKA KEMAS Hulu Yam Zone. Actually, it was a big day event for my beloved second daughter, Farahiin receiving a scroll at her second pre-school convocation. I'm truly proud that witnessed my daughter accomplished her task at pre-school level after two years learning. At last I can now see my second munchkin advancing into the next level of education, primary school, where all challenges await.

A Trip to Cengal Besar Sg. Loh, Hulu Dungun, Terengganu

A FIELD TRIP TO HULU DUNGUN, DUNGUN, TERENGGANU

On October 16, 2010 I had conducted a field trip to Hulu Dungun, Dungun, Terengganu to visit the oldest and probably the largest Cengal tree (Neobalanocarpus heimii) in the world. Personally, this is the most anticipated moment in my entire life to see something that very big and ancient could ever existed. Subhanallah, all praise to Allah who created all of us and the universe.

Adakah PSA Layak Digelar Politeknik Premier?

Pada pertengahan bulan Ogos 2011, penulis blog telah melancarkan satu soal selidik yang berkaitan dengan kerelevenan taraf premier yang diberikan kepada Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Selangor. Soal selidik tersebut telahpun berakhir pada hari ini 1 November 2011. Tujuan soal selidik ini adalah untuk mendapatkan respon daripada pembaca blog bagi menyediakan satu platfom asas demi masa depan dan kecemerlengan PSA di masa akan datang.

Neobalanocarpus heimii (cengal) "Crown Shyness" Phenomenon

I do believe that the nature phenomenon of "crown shyness" of Dryobalanops aromatica (kapur) is well-known to many foresters or forest lovers. The reason for its name is because the leaf tips of the Dryobalanops aromatica appear to be shy towards their own kind, hence forming the gap.

Field Trip to Matang Mangroves and Segari Melintang Forest Reserved

On the last 21 - 23 October 2011, I have organized a field trip to Pusat Eko-Pelajaran Paya Laut Larut Matang, Kuala Sepetang, Perak. The objective of this trip is to study the unique formation of marine alluvial swamp forest in Malaysia. The trip is held on the 22nd October 2011.

A Trip To Penang National Park

Me, Kamal and Nafizah had conducted a trip to Penang National Park with our fellow DBK1A and DBK1B students on 23 - 25 September 2011. It was a very memorable Penang trip that I ever experienced in my entire career. We traveled there by chartered bus because PSA was unable to provide us transport due to unavailability of our varsity's drivers. The journey began at 4.00 p.m. on Friday.

Nafizah, Kamal and Me in front of our coach.

We arrived at Chalet Sportfishing, Persatuan Nelayan Kawasan Teluk Bahang at 10.15 p.m. It was a very calm and peaceful night when we get there. By not wasting the time, I get the keys and distributed it to my students. Me and Kamal found ourselves so sleepy and get into deep nice dream right after.

A trip to Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam

On 22 September 2011, I had a trip to Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam (formely known as Taman Sri Cahaya Bukit Cerakah Shah Alam) with my students. This trip is purposely conducted for CW102 course practical requirement. Frankly speaking, I had a very enjoyable and unforgettable almost 3 hours memories trekking and tagging the major species of lowland dipterocarp forest.

Second Trip to FRIM Kepong

A very nice trip to Dipterocarp and Non-Dipterocarp Arboretum, FRIM I had on the last 15 September 2011 with DBK1A. I must admitted that I had the most joyful moment every single trips with my pupils (DBK1A).

On that day, I was conducting the practical class at FRIM's arboretum for Dendrology course. This time, my students have learned the features of leaf which are leaf shapes, leaf apexes and leaf bases. Very useful keys for tree species identification in the forest. Here I attached some pictures for commemoration.

Me and my students.

First Trip to Dipterocarp Arboretum FRIM

On September 8, 2011, I have arranged the first trip to Dipterocarp Arboretum, Forest Research Institute of Malaysia Kepong for DBK1A class. This is the first ever trip since Hari Raya break.
