This is the Web site for ‘A’ book on the rivers of Sarawak I mentioned this week,
Remember I said its in PDF chapters, well here it is:
Foreword by UNDP Resident Representative for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, Dr. Richard Leete (October 2003-March 2008)
hahahahahaha!
I laugh because I still remember the ‘fear factor’ about Borneo when ever it was mentioned years ago. Was it in a film? Could have been as I used to go to the pics with my sister and brother to give mum a nd dad a break. When Borneo is mentioned now its because of its diversity and beauty, and the flora and fauna where its not found anywhere else. Now experts trungle through the jungle to find reasons not to excavate and destroy. Its a place where Biologists and the like stand back and scratch their heads at the sheer size of the tiniest insect and the enormity of the Rafflesia flower.
Its a long time before this event but you *will need to book early,.It must be an awesome event that needs this far in the future organisation - if you can - be there.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
I feel like I am located in a monsoon area. Can’t remember a week and a half like it. My lawn is a swimming bath, my plants are depressed from lack of sun and my trees feet are in pools of water….argeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hello,
THE dream to run a rainforest resort in the jungles of Miri almost did not come true for Henry Law Ing Hua after his application to acquire a plot of state land for the purpose was turned down twice.
His first application was submitted 1991 and rejected in 1995. He then sent in his second but and it was rejected again in 2000. Undaunted, he re-applied and in 2002, eventually got the nod.
Hello,
I did have news of a fun race in Sabah but the closing date is tomorrow, and my only excuse is, I only found the site this am.
Anyway:

MANY may think that—like the loincloth itself—a paper on the loincloth ought to be brief and cover only the essentials. Yet just as we wear clothes for more reasons than mere utility, and dress decorates as much as it hides, the subject of the loincloth furnishes an occasion for remarks on history, culture, and psychology.
I read something similar last week about the residents who were going to kill the Elephants if their government did’nt do something. Appparently the loss of forest also means the Elephant *must* find a new sorce of food - crops.
The Indonesian government is to double the size of a national park that is one of the last havens for endangered Sumatran elephants and tigers.
Tesso Nilo National Park was created in 2004 with 38,000 hectares of forest. Today’s declaration will see that figure increase to 86,000 by the end of this year.
Hello,
I am reading White Rajah. Its a Biography of Sir James Brooke. I found Softpedia by accident whilst loking for links to some words I found in the book. Hopefully Softpedia won’t mind me bringing in an image of a Dayak lady for the interest of my members - the interest will be the extrodinarily elongated ears from wearing earrings over the years.
Hello,
KUALA LUMPUR: Despite the rising cost of living and increased racial spats, Malaysians still come out in droves to reach out in the spirit of Merdeka.
The celebrations started on Saturday with concerts as well as fireworks display, culminating in the National Day parade yesterday.
Hello,
IF EVERYTHING goes as planned, China’s lovable panda will be making its way to Malaysian shores soon.
Sin Chew Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau yesterday quoted Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim as saying that Zoo Negara officials would go to China this October to discuss the possibility of bringing the mammal over.
Hello,
…And the reason is clear why I don’t and never will discredit Malaysia. Apart from friends I have there in KL and Sing I love Malaysia in all its entirity. But much as I *do love it I also don’t want (1) throwing into one of their jails and (2) I don’t want closing down. People were warned months ago what would happen if there were any slurs on Malaysia.
Its also the reason I don’t allow comments.
Hello,
Have you thought of migrating to a warm climate? If you live in the UK I am sure you must have felt the call of the warm sea, pure sand, and wildlife… almost on your doorstep. Different cultures that live in harmony. Well, now is your chance.
Hello,
Dance forms in Malaysia are also diverse like the music of country. The country boasts of numerous traditional dance forms. Some of the popular traditional dance forms are Joget, Inang, Inang, Asli, Datun Julud and Sumazau.
Hello,
Global warming and limited access to land and other resources threaten many indigenous peoples, the UN food agency warned Friday.
“Indigenous peoples are among the first to suffer from increasingly harsh and erratic weather conditions, and a generalised lack of empowerment to claim goods and services,” said indigenous people’s expert Regina Laub of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Hello,
GENEVA: Sumatra’s endangered elephants and tigers should get a boost from a move by Indonesia’s government to expand one of their last havens, a national park on the island of Sumatra, the conservation group WWF said Thursday.
I remember at infant school when we used to sit round our teacher in a circle while a little child read us the story for that day..or was it the teacher that read to us…blowed if my memory cells take me that far back..*grin…. I think it was teacher. Years later I learnt a lot about the importance of books for my child having worked in a children’s day nursery.
I guess your wondering where all this is leading well be patient ‘Good things come to those that wait’.
..Pirated Software, in particular Windows..
I would not think M$ is just targeting Malaysia, it *should be every country where they will issue a plain black background every 60 minutes so please, save your work on a regular basis if this includes you.
For the next five weeks beginning today, users of pirated versions of the Windows operating system will encounter a plain black background with pop-up window alert, said Microsoft Malaysias director of client business group, K.T.Ng.
Is it really a year already since Kota Kinabalu celebrated 50 years of Independence of Malaysia. We call this celebration Merdeka day. The event is expected to far surpass last years record number of participants this year.
The event will commence on Aug 29 over a three-day period and end on Merdeka Day, Aug 31.
Really?
LOLOL
AH! Now thats what was meant by ‘blame Daniel’ (Thwates) for the sudden upturn of baby births. Course, then we were more civalised when we drank, we drank just enough to have a great night out and enjoy the sex afterwards.

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome.
As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.
So why are we launching Google Chrome? Because we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.
