Sampah Masyarakat needs you!
 After last year's success, we will be cleaning up Batu Caves again this year on 31 Jan 2010. Similar to last year, the clean up will be held a day after Thaipusam. The beauty about Sampah Masyarakat this year is that the initiative will be done in Penang as well, which was one of the things we hoped for - for other states in Malaysia to take up the initiative. Kudos for Penangites!

The dugong was found in a net by a Bajau fisher within the marine sanctuary in Pulau Maliangin Kecil early morning of 15 December.

Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers
 Tigers, they automatically bring about thoughts of power, strength and majesty. But the truth is, tigers all over the world are facing the threat of extinction. Perhaps, in the not so distant future, all that’s left of tigers will be photographs and video footage. It seems inevitable, unless we all do something about it. That’s why the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers, or MYCAT, was founded in September 2003 – to help make the Malaysian public aware of the Malayan tiger’s plight, and to take greater interest and action towards its survival.
