Malaysia 2004 : Persidangan Parti Ketujuh Konvensyen Kepelbagaian Biologi (KKB) [COPT] FDC


Malaysia berasa bangga dan bertuah kerana berpeluang menjadi tuan rumah bagi Persidangan Parti Ketujuh Konvensyen Kepelbagaian Biologi (KKB) [COPT] dan Persidangan Parti yang bertindak sebagai Mesyuarat Pertama Parti-Parti kepada Protokol Cartagena mengenai Biokeselamatan (M0P1). Sebagai salah sebuah daripada duabelas negara mega kepelbagaian biologi, penganjuran acara-acara ini mencerminkan komitmen Malaysia kepada dunia dalam pemuliharaan dan penggunaan lestari kepelbagaian biologi kita.

Kepelbagaian biologi menawarkan potensi yang besar dal am pembangunan produk farmaseutikal dan sebagainya dalam era bioteknologi masa kini. Walaupun bioteknologi menawarkan potensi yang besar kita juga mesti peka kepada aspek-aspek keselamatannya. Biokeselamatan ialah istilah yang digunakan untuk menerangkan usaha-usaha untuk mengurang dan menghapuskan potensi risiko yang timbul akibat bioteknologi dan produknya (seperti organisma diubahsuai dari segi genetik) berdasarkan kepada pendekatan pencegahan.

Kepelbagaian biologi ini sering dimaksudkan sebagai pelbagai tanaman, hidupan liar dan mikroorganisma. Sehingga kini, lebih kurang 1.75juta spesies telah dikenalpasti. Para saintis mengandaikan terdapat lebih kurang 13 juta spesies walaupun julat jangkaan berada di antara 3 hingga 100 juta. Malaysia, titik tumpuan kepelbagaian biologi menempatkan pelbagai mikroorganisma, flora dan fauna. Kebanyakan darinya adalah endemik dan unik. Lebih kurang 15.7% dari spesies yang telah diklasifikasikan di dunia dijumpai di sini. Hutan di Malaysia merupakan antara yang tertua di planet ini.

Malaysia is proud and honoured to play host to the Seventh Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)[COP 7] and Conference of the Parties serving as the first Meeting of the Parties (MOP 1) to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. As one of the twelve megadiverse countries of the world, hosting these events shows Malaysia's commitment to the world in conservation.

Biological resources offers huge potential for the development of pharmaceuticals and other products in this era of biotechnology. While biotechnology offers many potential benefits, we must be aware of the safety aspects of it.

Biodiversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals and microorganisms. So far, about 1.75 million species have been identified. Scientists reckon that there are actually about 13 million species, though estimates range from 3 to 100 million.

Japan 2015 : Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter FDC



Peter Rabbit is a fictional animal character in various children's stories by Beatrix Potter. He first appeared in The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902 and subsequently in five more books between 1904 and 1912. Spinoff merchandise includes dishes, wallpaper, and dolls. He appears as a character in several adaptations.

The rabbits in Potter's stories are anthropomorphic and wear human clothes: Peter wears a blue jacket with brass buttons and shoes. Peter, his widowed mother, Mrs. Josephine Rabbit, as well as his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail live in a rabbit hole that has a human kitchen, human furniture, as well as a shop where Josephine sells various items. Peter's relatives are Cousin Benjamin Bunny and Benjamin's father, Mr. Bouncer Bunny.

Peter Rabbit was named after a pet rabbit whom Beatrix Potter had as a child, and whom she called Peter Piper. The first Peter Rabbit story, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was created in 1893 initially as a letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of Potter's former governess, Annie Moore. The boy was ill, and Potter wrote him a picture and story letter to help him pass the time and to cheer him up. The letter included sketches illustrating the narrative.

In June 1903, a trade edition of the tale was published by Frederick Warne & Co, and by the end of the year, 28,000 copies were in print. Over the years, The Tale of Peter Rabbit has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, and as of 2008, the Peter Rabbit series has sold more than 151 million copies in 35 languages.

Peter Rabbit made his first appearance in 1902 in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Where Peter disobeys Josephine's orders and sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden, eating as many vegetables as he can before Mr. McGregor spots and chases him. Peter manages to escape, but not before losing his jacket and shoes, which Mr. McGregor uses to dress a scarecrow. Peter returns home weary, ill, and naked and is put to bed with a dose of chamomile tea.

In The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, first published in 1904, Peter's cousin Benjamin Bunny brings him back to Mr. McGregor's garden and they retrieve the clothes Peter lost in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. However, after they gather onions to give to Josephine, they are captured by Mr. McGregor's cat. Bouncer arrives and rescues them, but also reprimands Peter and Benjamin for going into the garden by whipping them with a switch. In this tale, Peter displays some trepidation about returning to the garden.

In The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies, first published in 1909, Peter has a small role and appears only briefly. He is grown up and his sister Flopsy is now married to their cousin Benjamin. The two are the parents of six little Flopsy Bunnies. Peter and Josephine keep a nursery garden, and the bunnies come by asking him for spare cabbage.

In The Tale of Mr. Tod, first published in 1912, Benjamin and Flopsy's children are kidnapped by notorious badger Tommy Brock. Peter helps Benjamin chase after Brock, who hides out in the house of the fox, Mr. Tod. Mr. Tod finds Brock sleeping in his bed, and as the two get into a scuffle, Peter and Benjamin rescue the children.

Peter makes cameo appearances in two other tales. In The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, first published in 1905, Peter and Benjamin are customers of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, a hedgehog washerwoman. The two rabbits are depicted in one illustration peeping from the forest foliage. In The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, first published in 1909, Peter and other characters from Potter's previous stories make cameo appearances in the artwork, patronising the shop of Ginger and Pickles.

To mark the 110th anniversary of the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit,Frederick Warne & Co. commissioned British actress Emma Thompson to write The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit, in which Peter ends up in Scotland after accidentally hitching a ride on Mr. and Mrs. McGregor's wagon. The book was released on 18 September 2012. In autumn 2012, it was reported that Thompson would write more Peter Rabbit books. Her next tale, The Christmas Tale of Peter Rabbit, was released in 2013, followed by The Spectacular Tale of Peter Rabbit in 2014.

Australia 2012 : Waterbirds FDC


Waterbirds AUSTRALIAN 

Ducks have a long association with human culture and may well have been one of the first animals to have been domesticated. In the wild, ducks are a common and beautiful group of birds that often travel and feed in flocks, their number making them quite conspicuous. Many species tend to be nomadic, due partly to the depletion of temporary water sources, which forces them to search for new feeding grounds. Australia is home to 28 species of ducks, of which 10 are endemic. This stamp issue features the Radjah Shelduck (Tadorna radjah), the Pink-eared Duck (Malacorhynchus membranaceus), the Australian Shelduck (Tadorna tadornoides) and the Plumed Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna eytoni).

Gugusan pulau dan perairan sekitarnya telah diisytiharkan sebagai Taman Laut pada 20 Oktober 1994 di bawah Akta Perikanan 1985. Keluasan perairan Taman Laut Pulau Tinggi merupakan yang ketiga tertuas antara 42 buah pulau Taman Laut iaitu seluas 10,180 hektar. Nilai warisan terumbu di Taman Laut Pulau Tinggi adalah penting dengan lebih daripada 228 spesis karang keras, 5 spesis karang lembut, lebih 300 spesis ikan karang dan 11 spesis rumput laut hidup di taman laut itu. Kehadiran hamparan rumput laut di sekitar perairan Taman Laut Pulau Tinggi telah menjadi tarikan kepada spesis mamalia mann yang terancam iaitu Dugong untuk menghuni dan merayau di persekitarannya. Pinggiran pantai terdiri daripada pasir hatus dengan lapisan batu kecil dan dataran lanar. Manakala sebahagian besar pedalaman pulau ditiputi hutan. dengan pokok buah-buahan dan kelapa memenuhi kawasan kampung dan rumah-rumah rehat.

PULAU MATAKING, SABAH PULAU MATAKING 

terletak di tenggara Sabah diiaut Sulawesi. Dengan menaiki bot laju, ia mengambil masa selama 45 minit dari Semporna untuk tiba di Mataking yang terdiri daripada dua bahagian pulau iaitu Mataking 
Besar dan Mataking Kecil. la boleh diterokai dengan  berjalan kaki semasa air surut. Walaupun ia tidak sepopular jirannya, Sipadan di peringkat antarabangsa sebagai destinasi penyelam skuba namun pemandangan di Mataking tidak kurang menakjubkan dan tetap mencabar. la terletak di tepi pelantar kerak benua yang mempunyai karang lembut dan keras. Kelebihan utama perairan sekeliling Mataking adalah terdapat lebih 30 tapak menyelam yang memberi darjah penglihatan di antara 30 dan 50 meter dan ia hampir tidak mempunyai arus. Masa terbaik untuk menyelam adalah di antara April dan Jun. Meskipun pada musim monsun di antara Disember danJanuari, keadaan untuk menyelam hampir tidak berubah. Dilaporkan penyelam di perairan Pulau Mataking pernah melihat sekawan ikan alu-alu, kima raksasa dan kuda laut kerdit. Kelibat ikan yu paus juga mungkin boleh dilihat di antara Mac dan April sewaktu ia berhijrah ke selatan. Turut dilihat di sekeliling pulau-pulau ini ialah penyu Hijau dan penyu Hawksbill yang seakan-akan sudah biasa dengan kehadiran penyelam sehinggakan ia tidak berganjak apabila gambar diambil dari jarak dekat. Bagaimanapun, pulau ini bukanlah sebuah destinasi semasa-mata untuk penyelam. Suasananya yang tenteram menjadikan Mataking sebagai pulau yang sesuai untuk mereka yang mahu berbutan madu. Atau kenapa tidak mengambil langkah seterusnya dengan menganjurkan majlis perkahwinan di pulau ini?

PULAU MATAKING, SABAH MATAKING, 

situated southeast off Sabah in the Celebes Sea and about 45 minutes by speedboat from Semporna, consists of two islands - Besar and Kecil - which one can walk to and fro during low tide. It may be less well-known internationally than neighbouring Sipadan as a destination for scuba divers but Mataking is no less breathtaking and challenging. It is situated at the edge of the continental shelf and has hard and soft corals. A big advantage is that the waters around Mataking, which has over 30 dive sites, are known to provide visibility of between 30 and 50 metres and significantly, with almost no current. The best period for diving is between April and June but even during the monsoon months of December and January, diving conditions remain virtually unchanged. Divers have reported seeing schools of barracudas, giant clams and the rare pygmy seahorses in Mataking, where the gigantic whale sharks may also be spotted in March and April as they head south during migration. Also spotted around the islands are the Green and Hawksbill turtles which are so used to seeing divers that they hardly flinch even when photographed from a close distance. But this is not a place that is solely a destination for divers. Due to its tranquility, Mataking has also been described as the perfect island for honeymooners. Or why not go a step further by holding your wedding reception on the island? 

PULAU SATANG, SARAWAK 

Seperti kebanyakan kumpulan pulau kecil yang lain, Satang di Sarawak terdiri daripada dua pulau - Satang Besar dan Satang Kecil. la merupakan sebahagian daripada Taman Laut Negara Talang-Salang yang merupakan taman laut pertama di Sarawak. Taman laut ini terdiri daripada empat pulau"penyu"yang merekodkan 95 peratus pendaratan penyu di negeri tersebut. Di sinilah tempat di mana sebuah pusat pemuliharaan penyu didirikan bagi meningkatkan jumlah penyu di negeri ini. Mereka yang bertuah mungkin berpeluang menyaksikan kelibat ikan lumba-lumba Irrawaddy yang sukar ditangkap dan jarang ditemui semasa melawat destinasi yang terletak di Laut China Selatan ini, kira-kira 45 minit melalui darat clan Kuching, ibu negeri Sarawak dan 30 minit lagi jika menaiki bot berenjin dari Santubong. Kepada mereka yang meminati penyu, masa terbaik untuk melawat Satang adalah di antara April dan Oktober apabila penyu naik ke darat dan anak penyu yang baru menetas dilepaskan. Singgah sebentar di Tukong Ara untuk aktiviti melihat burung. Pulau ini juga terkenal sebagai koloni pembiakan beberapa spesis burung !aut. Kepada mereka yang tidak meminati penyu atau burung akan mendapati pulau ini tetap tidak menjemukan kerana menyelam adalah aktiviti utama di Satang di mana terumbu karang meliputi dua-per-tiga daripada pinggiran pulau ini. 

PULAU SATANG, SARAWAK 

Just like many other small island groupings, Sarawak's Satang comprises two islands - Sarong Besar and Satang Kecil. It is part of the Talang-Satang Marine National Park, Sarawak's first, with the four "turtle" islands recording 95% of the state's turtle landings. It is here where you will find a centre set up to conserve Sarawak's turtle population. For the luckiest amongst us, the elusive and rare Irrawaddy dolphin may decide to make an appearance on the day of your visit to this destination in the South-China Sea that is about 45 minutes by road from Kuching, the state capital, and a further 30 minutes by motorised boat from Santubong. For those with an interest in turtles, the best time to visit Sarong would be between April and October, when turtles land and hatchings are released. Stop over at Tukong Ara for some bird spotting. This island is also a breeding colony for various species of terns. Those not into turtles or birds will not find the island boring because diving is another main activity in Satang where coral reefs fringe two-thirds of the island's edge.

Australia 2014 : Centenary MILITARY Aviation Submarines FDC


Centenary MILITARY Aviation Submarines 

This year marks two significant Australian military centenaries. On 1 March 1914 Bristol Military Biplane CFS-3 took the first military flight, at the Army flying field, Point Cook, Victoria. Australia subsequently became the only British dominion to establish a flying corps, the Australian Flying Corps (AFC), for service during World War I. Australia's first submarines, British-built E-class vessels known as HMAS AE1 and HMAS AE2, commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy in February 1914, arrived in Sydney on 24 May. On 14 September 1914, Submarine AE1 was tragically lost with all crew during the occupation of Rabaul in German New Guinea. Submarine AE2 went on to support British-led operations off the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey and on 25 April 1915 was the first British submarine to penetrate.

Malaysia 2015 : Mutiara FDC



Lautan biru yang tenang dan jernih di sekitar perairan Sabah dipenuhi dengan pelbagai spesies hidupan laut yang berwarna warni. Antara hidupan laut yang paling menarik dan memiliki daya tarikan tersendiri adalah sejenis siput moluska yang digelar sebagai tiram. Tiram merupakan sejenis haiwan bercangkerang dengan kulit yang keras dan agak leper. Apabila cangkerang terbuka, kelihatan isinya yang berlendir putih, yang sering menjadi santapan istimewa. Namun, ada sejenis tiram yang amat dihargai kerana is menghasilkan sejenis 'permata' bernilai tinggi yang tersembunyi di dalam lendir perut, iaitu mutiara. Secara semulajadi, tiram menghasilkan mutiara dengan menyelitupi parasit penceroboh halus dengan nacre. Selama beberapa tahun, objek berkenaan diselitupi dengan lapisan nacre yang mencukupi bagi membentuk apa yang kita kenali sebagai mutiara.

Kecantikan daya kilauan mutiara-mutiara yang mempesonakan ini diolah menjadi hiasan mewah bernilai tinggi dan telah menjadi buruan manusia sejak berabad-abad lamanya. Tiram mutiara semulajadi di perairan Sabah telah dikesan hampir pupus akibat pemburuan manusia dan pencemaran alam. Pada sekitar 1980an, penyelidikan telah membawa kepada penemuan kaedah menghasilkan mutiara berkultur melalui penternakan tiram mutiara. Ternakan tiram dilakukan bagi mengatasi konflik kepupusan tiram mutiara yang diusahakan oleh seorang penternak tiram selama 2 generasi di Semporna Sabah yang telah berjaya menghasilkan mutiara di antara yang paling besar dan tercantik di dunia. Jenis tiram mutiara yang terdapat di perairan Sabah dan diternak adalah dari spesies Pinctada maxima.

The crystal clear and calm blue seas in Sabah are filled with all kinds of wonderful marine life, and among the most interesting is a type of mollusk known as oysters. The oyster is an animal with a relatively flat and hard shell. They are considered a great delicacy in many parts of the world. However, there is a type of oyster that is highly valued because it produces an extraordinary 'jewel' hidden beneath its shell in what we know as a pearl. In nature, pearl oysters produce pearls by covering a minute invading parasite with nacre. Over the years, the irritating object is covered with enough layers of nacre to become a pearl.

The alluring beauty of the natural pearl have been highly sought after and was hunted by humans for centuries to be used as jewellery. Natural pearl oysters in the waters of Sabah have been threatened to near extinction due to over-hunting and environmental pollution. During the 1980s, extensive research has led to the discovery of ways to produce cultured pearls via pearl oyster farming. A dedicated pearl oyster farmer in Semporna, Sabah has over 2 generations perfected the art of producing cultured pearls - thus not only saving the pearl oysters from extinction, but also producing one of the world's finest and largest south sea pearls. The species found naturally in the waters of Sabah and used for pearl culture is the Pinctada maxima.

Mutiara Tiram Pinctada maxima 

Pinctada maxima adalah spesies tiram mutiara moluska yang tergolong dalam keluarga Pteriidae. la merupakan tiram mutiara yang terbesar di dunia dan saiznya boleh mencecah sehingga 12 inci diameter. Pinctada maxima mempunyai lapisan kulit dalaman kuat yang terdiri daripada nacre, juga dikenali sebagai mother of pearl. la adalah penting dalam industri mutiara kultur kerana digunakan untuk mengeluarkan mutiara laut selatan. Pinctada maxima boleh ditemui di kawasan perairan laut selatan seperti Malaysia, Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia dan Filipina.

Mutiara Laut Selatan 

Mutiara laut selatan adalah merupakan mutiara-mutiara yang paling cantik dan berharga di dunia berbanding mutiara-mutiara utama lain seperti mutiara Akoya, mutiara hitam Tahiti dan mutiara air tawar. Mutiara laut selatan ini diperolehi daripada tiram mutiara Pinctada maxima yang diternak di sekitar perairan Sabah. Proses pembentukan mutiara bermula dengan meletakkan nukleus ke dalam tiram yang dibela. Dalam tempoh tiga hingga enam tahun, tiram tersebut akan menghasilkan mutiara yang beraneka kualiti, saiz dan warna bergantung kepada tone pewarna semulajadi nacre, dan bentuk gangguan anal yang telah diselitupi itu. Terdapat 5 jenis bentuk utama mutiara laut selatan Malaysia yang telah terkenal dalam pasaran, iaitu jenis bulat (round), circle, drop, baroque dan button. Saiz mutiara laut selatan Malaysia adalah diantara 10mm - 20mm. Warna-warna utama termasuklah putih, emas pudar dan emas. Mutiara yang bernilai tinggi ini akan digred dan dijadikan barangan kemas seperti rantai mutiara, cincin mutiara, anting-anting mutiara dan sebagainya.
Mutiara Laut Selatan Circle ',loth Sea Pearls.

Pearl oyster Pinctada maxima 

Pinctada maxima is a species of pearl oyster, a marine bivalve mollusk in the family Pteriidae. These bivalves are the largest pearl oysters in the world and can measure up to 12 inches in diameter. They have a very strong inner shell layer composed of nacre, also known as "mother of pearl". They are important in the cultured pearl industry as they are used to produce south sea pearls. Pinctada maxima can be found in the waters of the southern seas such as Malaysia, Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia and Philippines.

South Sea pearls 

South sea pearls are recognised as the world's largest and most valuable pearls compared to the other main group of pearls such as the Akoya pearls, Tahiti black pearls and fresh water pearls. South sea pearls are obtained from Pinctada maxima farmed in Sabah waters where the pearl formation process begins by placing nucleus into the pearl oysters. In three to six years, these pearl oysters will produce a range of cultured pearls with varying quality, size and color depending on the natural pigment of the nacre, and the shape of the original irritant. Malaysia's south sea pearl sizes varies between 10mm to 20mm, and its various shapes can be classified into 5 main recognised forms, which is round, drop, baroque, circle and button. The colours of the pearls ranges from white, champagne gold and gold. These pearls are made into highly valuable jewellery such as pearl necklaces, pearl rings, pearl earrings and so on.

Seri Paduka Baginda sememangnya terkenal dengan sifat sebagai seorang Raja yang amat berhemah tinggi, bertutur dengan lemah-lembut dan bersopan santun. Baginda seorang pemerintah yang dididik dari kecil dengan nilai-nilai pekerti dan tingkah laku yang berasaskan kepada ajaran agama dan ilmu keduniaan yang luas. Baginda amat mengambil perhatian dalam hal ehwal agama dan juga rakyat jelata terutarrta yang menyentuh bidang kuasa Baginda sendiri. Keprihatinan Baginda jelas terbukti sewaktu menjalankan kewajipan sebagai Sultan Negeri Kedah, Baginda telah berangkat setiap hari ke pejabat di Wisma Darul Aman, Alor Setar.

Baginda juga begitu prihatin terhadap kemakmuran dan keharmonian hidup rakyat jelata. Hal demikian terserlah dalam tindakan Baginda menangani masalah kemasyarakatan dan keagamaan. Baginda dilihat sentiasa mencemar dull untuk berdampingan dengan golongan rakyat jelata. Justeru, Baginda mempunyai hubungan akrab dengan rakyat jelata atau dengan kata lain "Raja Berjiwa Rakyat". Bagi merapatkan jurang antara rakyat dengan Istana, Baginda mengambil pendekatan turun ke akar umbi bagi menemui khalayak rakyat jelata. Maka tidak hairanlah jika Baginda menjadi seorang pemerintah yang dikasihi dan disegani seluruh rakyat negeri Kedah Darul Aman khususnya dan negara Malaysia amnya.
