The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines for world markets (Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa'' ) is a
Malay film history published by KRU Studios to the market internationally with the aim of
introducing the history and culture of the Malay world. Epic film is clearly adapted from the prose,
Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa which narrated the history of the earliest state Kedah.
A film directed by Yusry Abdul Halim (from the KRU) is now showing in Malaysian cinemas
starting from March 10, 2011 (after the royal presentation before the February 25 ), by Stephen
Rahman Hughes as the character Merong Mahawangsa, accompanied by a large cast of local and
foreign, especially Dato 'Haji Rahim Razali, Ummi Nazeera, Khir Rahman, Jehan Miskin , UmieAida and Maya Karin.
In the year 120, Roman Empire at that time under the reign of Hadrian, while in China, Han
dynasty are a powerful empire and has expanded its rule to the Central Asian countries. As the
Roman fleet did their repairs and traded in Goa, they asked Merong Mahawangsa to escort a Roman
prince to Southeast Asia, to wed a beautiful Chinese princess from the Han Dynasty, Princess Meng
Li Hua. The Chinese princess and the Roman prince are supposed to meet halfway and be married
on neutral grounds. However, pirate of the Garuda clan has a different design. They decide to
kidnap Princess of China and make it as a hostage. At the end of irrigation Strait of Malacca,
Merong Mahawangsa and the fleet was attacked by Garuda. Thus, it is the duty of MerongMahawangsa to rescue Princess of China and integrate her with the Prince of Rome in a marriage of
two great civilizations of East and West.

The tiger, the largest cat in the world, is one of the most majestic animals onland and is found only in Asia. It is also one of the most powerful mammals,
yet it is on the brink of extinction. In the 1900s, the tiger population was more
than 100,000. Today, the number has dwindled to less than 10,000 worldwide.Nepal has only 200 tigers, India has about 4,000, while Malaysia has less than
500. The reason for the decline in numbers is poaching.
Tigers are hunted not only by human beings but also by other predators such
as elephants, bears and large buffaloes. The only defence tigers have againsttheir enemies are their razor-sharp claws, their strong teeth and their sheer
weight. The weight of a tiger, which can range between 200 and 300
kilogrammes, can kill an 10 average sized human being.Tigers have fascinated human beings for several reasons. For instance,
marks on their forehead resemble the Chinese character wang, which means
king. Furthermore, the markings on a tigers forehead and the stripes all over itsbody are like finger prints. Experts can tell individual tigers apart by observing
the markings and stripes closely. This is because no two tigers have identical
markings. The patterns of their stripes vary immensely, especially from one
sub-species to another. The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes and markingswhile the Siberian tiger has the fewest. The stripes of a tiger always run at right
angles to its body and not along its bodyline. Otherwise, it would be very
conspicuous and find it impossible to camouflage itself.
These carnivorous beasts thrive well in areas of dense vegetation with amplesources of water and large populations of hoofed animals. They instinctively
avoid human beings and only attack people if they are provoked, injured or
unable to hunt for their usual food.Despite their prowess, tigers are unable to protect themselves from their
greatest threat human beings. These magnificent creatures have been hunted
for hundreds of years for sport as proof of ones strength and manliness, and fortheir skin. They have also been trapped and poisoned by farmers to protect their
livestock. As a result, the Caspian, Javan and Bali tigers have become extinct.
In many Asian countries, tigers are killed for their precious claws. It is believed
that wearing a talisman made of a 30 tigers claw can protect its wearer. It is
almost impossible to ascertain whether a tigers claw has any supernaturalpowers, but what is certain is that many a tiger will lose its life so that someone
can profit from it.Other than that, tigers have been hunted for their body organs, which are
believed to be a cure for many ailments. This superstition may have resulted
from the connection 35 made with their masculinity and strength. This has
resulted in massive poaching of tigers for their whiskers, eyes, teeth, penises,liver and fat.

Hunting of tiger prey has also caused the number of tigers to dwindle. Tigers
usually feed on hoofed animals such as deer, wild boar and buffaloes. Thehunting of these animals by human beings has caused tigers to starve to death.
Serious action has to be taken to ensure the survival of this majestic creature.
Although the tiger has been labelled an endangered species and the sale oftigerrelated products has been banned in many countries, these measures havebackfired, with illegal poaching of tigers for their fur, bones and other organs
becoming rampant. Some countries, such as India, have allocated millions of
dollars to set up tiger reserves to protect these animals but even these are notsafe. Poachers completely wiped out wild tigers in the Sariska Tiger Reserve in
India. To ensure the survival of the tiger, conservation efforts need to be
improved to reduce threats to tigers. Efforts must also be made to improve tiger
habitats and to increase tiger prey populations so that they will not starve todeath in the wild. There must be more stringent controls on the demand for tiger
parts. When there is no demand, there will be no supply. To drive the message
home, poachers should be punished severely. Otherwise, they will not stop theirillegal activities.

At dawn they returned home

and approached the stovetheir limbs marked by scratches
their legs full of wounds
but on their brows
there was not a sign of despair
The whole day and night just passed
they had to brave the horrendous flood
in the water all the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips of tree barks
desperately looking for their sons
albino buffalo that was never found
They were born amidst hardship
and grew up without a sigh or a complaint
now they are in the kitchen, making
jokes while rolling their ciggarete leaves

Deforestation is the cutting or burning down of all the trees in a forest andthe conversion of forested areas to non- forest land for use such as arable land
or pasture, or for urban use. Deforestation results from removal of trees without
sufficient reforestation, and results in decline in habitat and biodiversity, inwood for fuel and industrial use, and in the quality of life. In many countries,
massive deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography.
Deforestation is a substantial contributor to global warming, and although
70 percent of the oxygen we breathe comes from photosynthesis of marinegreen algae and cyanobacteria, the mass destruction of the worlds rain forests
is not beneficial to our environment. In addition, the incineration and burning of
forests plants in order to clear land, releases tonnes of carbon dioxide whichincrease the impact of global warming.
Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil, reduces
groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. Deforestation reduces soilcohesion, so that erosion, flooding and landslides often result. More flash
floods and localised floods occur because of deforestation. This would not
happen if there is forest cover.
Forests support considerable biodiversity, providing valuable habitat forwildlife. Moreover, forests foster medicinal conservation and forest biotopes
are a major, irreplaceable source of new drugs (like TAXOL).
Deforestation also contributes to decreased evapotranspiration, which
lessens atmospheric moisture which in some cases affects precipitation levels.Water is thus lost in run-off and returns directly to the oceans. According to one
preliminary study, in deforested north and northwest China, the average annual
precipitation decreased by one third between the 1950s and 1980s.Long-term gains can be obtained by managing forest lands sustainable to
maintain both forest cover and provide a biodegradable renewable resource.
Forests are also important stores of organic carbon, and forests can extractcarbon dioxide and pollutants from the air, thus contributing to biosphere
stability. Deforestation (mainly in tropical areas) accounts for up to one third of
total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Forests are also valued for their
aesthetic beauty and as a cultural resource and tourist attraction.
The effects of human-related deforestation can be mitigated throughenvironmentally sustainable practices that reduce permanent destruction of
forests or even act to preserve and rehabilitate disrupted forestland. Thesemethods help the cause and provide a sustainable growth of forests and allow
lumber to become a renewable resource.
