Kaban Menyadi donates casket to family of man who died in home accident
MIRI (June 28): Dayak-based non-government organisation (NGO), Kaban Menyadi, has donated a casket for the burial of Kenedy Anak Changing, who lost his life after falling while repairing the ceiling of his house in Sungai Sebatuk, Niah on June 24.
According to Kaban Menyadi advisor Thomas Patrick, the organisation received a request for assistance from a local longhouse chief and responded immediately upon learning of the family's predicament.
'Kenedy had been doing odd jobs to support his family. He passed away after falling while repairing the ceiling of their dilapidated house,' he said.
'He leaves behind his wife and four daughters, aged between 10 and 18. All of his children are still in school, and the eldest only began her studies at a university in Peninsular Malaysia last year.'
Thomas expressed hope that the donation would help ease the family's burden during this difficult time.
'Our gesture is small but we hope it would lessen their burden, especially since Kenedy was their sole breadwinner,' he said, urging others to come forward to help the family in any other possible means. donation Kaban Menyadi lead longhouse Thomas Patrick

Plastic pollution plagues Asia
KULSUM Beghum sorts waste at a landfill in Dhaka. Her blood contains 650 microplastic particles per millilitre, according to an analysis funded by a waste picker s' union. "Plastic is not good for me," she said through a translator during an interview in Geneva, where she came to bear witness on the sidelines of 184-nation talks to forge the world's first global plastic pollution treaty. "It started 30 years ago" in the Bangladeshi capital, said the 55-year-old, supported by her union. At first, "plastic was for cooking oil and soft drinks", she recalled. Then came shopping bags, which replaced traditional jute bags. "We were attracted to plastic, it was so beautiful!" Today, in one of the most economically fragile countries on the planet, plastic is everywhere: lining the streets, strewn across beaches, clogging the drains. Beghum wants non-recyclable plastics banned, pointing out that she cannot resell them and they have no market value. "No one collects them." Indumathi from Bangalore in southern India, who did not give her full name, concurs: 60 per cent of the plastic waste that arrives at the sorting centre she set up is non-recyclable. This includes crisp packets made of a mixture of aluminium and plastic, and other products using "multi-layer " plas tic. "No one picks them up from the streets and there are a lot of them," she said. Scientists attending the treaty negotiations at the United Nations in Geneva back her up. "Multi-layer plastic bags are a disaster for the environment," said Stephanie Reynaud, a polymer chemistry researcher at France's National Centre for Scientific Research. "They cannot be recycled." Indamathi was also critical of what she described as public policy failures. After single-use bags were banned in her country in 2014, for example, she saw the arrival of black or transparent polypropylene lunchboxes, which are also single-use. "We 're seeing more and more of them on the streets and in landfills. They've replaced shopping bag s," she said. According to a recent Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development report on plastic in Southeast Asia, "more ambitious public policies could reduce waste by more than 95 per cent by 2050" in the region, where plastic consumption increased ninefold since 1990 to 152 million tonnes in 2022. Consumer demand is not to blame, argues Seema Prabhu of the Swiss-based non-g overnmental organisation (NGO) Trash Heroes, which works mainly in Southeast Asian countries. The market has been flooded with single-use plastic replacing traditional items in Asia, such as banana leaf packaging in Thailand and Indonesia, and metal lunch boxes in India. "It's a new colonialism that is eroding traditional cultures." According to her, more jobs could be created "in a reuse economy than in a single-use economy ". Single-dose "s achet s" of shampoo, laundry detergent or sauces were a scourge, said Yuyun Ismawati Drwiega, an Indonesian who co-chairs the International Pollutants Elimination Network NG O. "They are the smallest plastic items with which the industry has poisoned us — easy to carry, easy to obtain; every kiosk sells them." In Indonesia, collection and sorting centres specialising in sachets have failed to stem the tide, mostly shutting down not long after opening. In Bali, where Ismawati Drwiega lives, she organises guided tours that she has nicknamed "Beauty and the Beast". The beauty is the beaches and luxury hotels; the beast is the back streets, the tofu factories that use plastic briquettes as fuel, and the rubbish dumps. The writer is from AFP

Climate change forces denizens of ancient Himalayan village to relocate
The Himalayan village of Samjung did not die in a day. Perched in a wind-carved valley in Nepal's Upper Mustang, more than 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) above sea level, the Buddhist village lived by slow, deliberate rhythms – herding yaks and sheep and harvesting barley under sheer ochre cliffs honeycombed with "sky caves' – 2,000-year-old chambers used for ancestral burials, meditation and shelter. Then the water dried up. Snow-capped mountains turned brown and barren as, year after year, snowfall declined. Springs and canals vanished and when it did rain, the water came all at once, flooding fields and melting away the mud homes. Families left one by one, leaving the skeletal remains of a community transformed by climate change: crumbling mud homes, cracked terraces and unkempt shrines. Villagers take a break while working in a field at the newly relocated settlement. The Hindu Kush and Himalayan mountain regions – stretching from Afghanistan to Myanmar – hold more ice than anywhere else outside the Arctic and Antarctic. Their glaciers feed major rivers that support 240 million people in the mountains – and 1.65 billion more downstream. Such high-altitude areas are warming faster than lowlands. Glaciers are retreating and permafrost areas are thawing as snowfall becomes scarcer and more erratic, according to the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development or ICMOD. Kunga Gurung is among many in the high Himalayas already living through the irreversible effects of climate change. "We moved because there was no water. We need water to drink and to farm. But there is none there. Three streams, and all three dried up,' said Gurung, 54. A herd of sheep passes through an alley as they are taken for grazing near the hills. Climate change is quietly reshaping where people can live and work by disrupting farming, water access and weather patterns, said Neil Adger, a professor of human geography at the University of Exeter. In places like Mustang, that's making life harder, even if people don't always say climate change is why they moved. "On the everyday basis, the changing weather patterns... it's actually affecting the ability of people to live in particular places,' Adger said. Forced to move Around the globe, extreme weather due to climate change is forcing communities to move, whether it's powerful tropical storms in The Philippines and Honduras, drought in Somalia or forest fires in California. The abandoned village of Samjung, with ancient caves carved in the cliffs in the background. In the world's highest mountains, Samjung isn't the only community to have to start over, said Amina Maharjan, a migration specialist at ICMOD. Some villages move only short distances, but inevitably the key driver is lack of water. "The water scarcity is getting chronic,' she said. Retreating glaciers – rivers of ice shrinking back as the world warms – are the most tangible and direct evidence of climate change. Up to 80% of the glacier volume in the Hindu Kush and Himalayas could vanish in this century if greenhouse gas emissions aren't drastically cut, a 2023 report warned. A woman washes her hands in a river at the new area. It hasn't snowed in Upper Mustang for nearly three years, a dire blow for those living and farming in high-altitude villages. Snowfall traditionally sets the seasonal calendar, determining when crops of barley, buckwheat, and potatoes are planted and affecting the health of grazing livestock. "It is critically important," Maharjan said. For Samjung, the drought and mounting losses began around the turn of the century. Traditional mud homes built for a dry, cold mountain climate fell apart as monsoon rains grew more intense – a shift scientists link to climate change. The region's steep slopes and narrow valleys funnel water into flash floods that destroyed homes and farmland, triggering a wave of migration that began a decade ago. Villagers walk towards a field to plant apple trees in the new home. Access and support Moving a village – even one with fewer than 100 residents like Samjung – was no simple endeavour. They needed reliable access to water and nearby communities for support during disasters. Relocating closer to winding mountain roads would allow villagers to market their crops and benefit from growing tourism. Eventually, the king of Mustang, who still owns large tracts of land in the area nearly two decades after Nepal abolished its monarchy, provided suitable land for a new village. Pemba Gurung, 18, and her sister Toshi Lama Gurung, 22, don't remember much about the move from their old village. But they remember how hard it was to start over. A dried-up water tap is seen in the abandoned village of Samjung. Families spent years gathering materials to build new mud homes with bright tin roofs on the banks of the glacial Kali Gandaki river, nearly 15 kilometres away. They constructed shelters for livestock and canals to bring water to their homes. Only then could they move. Some villagers still herd sheep and yak, but life is a bit different in New Samjung, which is close to Lo Manthang, a medieval walled city cut off from the world until 1992, when foreigners were first allowed to visit. It's a hub for pilgrims and tourists who want to trek in the high mountains and explore its ancient Buddhist culture, so some villagers work in tourism. The sisters Pemba and Toshi are grateful not to have to spend hours fetching water every day. But they miss their old home. "It is the place of our origin. We wish to go back. But I don't think it will ever be possible,' said Toshi. – By ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL and NIRANJAN SHRESTHA/AP

Not just cool pets: Why owning a reptile requires commitment and hard work
It was love at first sight for Ooi Kang Shen. While reptiles may seem like an unusual – even daunting – choice of pet for most Malaysian households, the Johor-based engineer was instantly captivated by their appearance and behaviour, particularly tortoises. 'They look special and unique to me, with different patterns on their shells. Plus, they require a different kind of care compared to common pets like cats and dogs,' says Ooi. Far from riding on the pet reptile bandwagon or making an impulse purchase – which is often the case with cute hatchlings like red-eared sliders or baby lizards –Ooi's involvement in reptile-keeping was intentional and well- researched. 'I did all my research and homework well in advance regarding their basic needs before committing to having them,' says the 30-year-old, who has cared for his pet tortoises – an Aldabra, a red-foot and a star tortoise – for over five years. Before bringing his tortoises home, Ooi made sure to thoroughly research their basic needs. — OOI KANG SHEN As tortoises are not a common choice for pets in Malaysia compared to cats or dogs, Ooi notes that reliable care information is considerably limited. 'I had to rely on information from other countries where there's a larger population of reptile pet owners,' he says, adding that he frequently watches YouTube channels such as Kamp Kenan and Garden State Tortoise for guidance. Based on what he has learned, Ooi lets his tortoises roam freely in his garden, grazing on grass and nibbling on cactus, mulberry and hibiscus plants, which he has purposefully planted for these animals with hard, rounded shell. Ooi says his tortoises are attached to him. Photo: OOI KANG SHEN Reality check Dr Nur Asyikin Haron, a veterinarian at Exopet Veterinary Clinic in Skudai, Johor, also understands the predicament of not having enough local information about caring for reptile pets. With a decade of experience under her belt – five years at the University Veterinary Hospital in Universiti Putra Malaysia and another five at her current clinic which she co-founded – she specialises in exotic animals, including reptiles. 'When I first started, there were very limited references – a few books and some articles or research papers on reptile medicine,' she recalls, adding that there were also very few vets treating reptiles, as they were not commonly kept as pets, compared to mammals. Fortunately, she notes, more resources are now available as the field continues to grow. Despite the common misconception that they're low- maintenance, Nur Asyikin says reptiles have highly specific needs – dietary, environmental and behavioural. 'Reptiles are not beginner- friendly pets. They have specific and often complex husbandry requirements,' she stresses. She adds, 'They are also masters at hiding signs of illness, so by the time owners seek veterinary care, the condition is often already advanced or critical.' Because of this, Ooi makes it a point to monitor his tortoises closely for any unusual behaviour – reduced appetite, excessive naps, decreased movement or droopy eyelids, among others. 'When these symptoms happen, I'll immediately get them treated,' he says, adding that it was initially challenging to find a vet who treats exotic animals like his tortoises. As he believes caring for a pet is a huge commitment, Ooi routinely takes his pets for check-ups. 'I want to make sure that my pets are healthy and I did not want to miss any sign of illness.' Nur Asyikin with a rescued bearded dragon. Photo: Dr NUR ASYIKIN HARON Misconceptions debunked One of the most common medical conditions Nur Asyikin encounters in pet reptiles is Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). This is a serious illness caused by poor nutrition and lack of ultraviolet-B (UVB) exposure. This condition, she says, is especially prevalent among tortoises and turtles kept indoors, without proper lighting. 'UVB light enables reptiles to synthesise vitamin D3, which helps in absorbing calcium. Without this, their bones will grow weak,' she explains. 'It's an entirely preventable condition, but sadly, it is very common. Proper education on their basic needs could help reduce many of the cases we see.' Nur Asyikin points out that part of the problem stems from how reptiles are perceived and sold. She cites red-eared sliders as a common example. The small turtle, recognisable by the distinctive red mark on each side of its head, is one of the most popular pet reptiles in Malaysia, particularly among children and first-time owners. Unfortunately, they're often marketed as cheap and low- maintenance. Ooi's tortoises roam freely in his home garden in Johor Bahru. Photo: OOI KANG SHEN 'They're cute when they're small, so many people buy them without realising they can grow up to 30cm, live for 20 to 30 years and require extensive care – like a filtered tank, basking area and UV lighting,' she says. Dr Nur Asyikin adds that treating reptiles involves a unique set of challenges, unlike cats and dogs. 'Even basic things like blood tests are not straightforward,' she says. 'Their blood has to be analysed manually, which takes time. And collecting a sample is tricky – their veins aren't visible, and sometimes we even need to sedate them just to get it.' Imaging also poses difficulties. 'For tortoises and turtles, their shells can block internal organs from view on X-rays. Computed tomography (CT) scans give better results, but they're costly and that is not always an option for pet owners.' Medication access is another ongoing issue. 'There are fewer drugs available for reptiles here and getting new ones to be approved takes time,' she notes. 'And then there's the insurance gap. Most pet insurance in Malaysia only covers cats and dogs. I really hope exotic pets will be included one day, so owners can access proper veterinary care without financial strain,' says the veterinarian, who also holds a Master's degree in Equine Medicine. Tips to care for a reptile. Photo: StarGraphics Beyond the scales and shells What about the perception that reptiles are emotionless and even scary? Ooi is quick to dispel the myth. 'My pet tortoises act like dogs. They come to me when I wave and follow me around the garden,' he says. 'Once you interact with them long enough, they develop an attachment to you and they show it. Like other animals, they have feelings too.' He treats them like any other cherished family pet. When he travels, he leaves them with trusted friends or checks them into a reptile-friendly pet hotel. 'They're part of the family now. Even my parents have grown fond of them. They were shocked at first, but now, they're inseparable.' Nur Asyikin shares this appreciation for reptiles, though from a professional perspective. Wearing two hats – as veterinarian and pet shop co-owner – she sees her role as one of both caregiver and educator. 'We work closely with pet owners right from the start – advising on feeding, habitat setup and long-term care. That early guidance often prevents many of the problems we later see in the clinic,' she says. Dr Nur Asyikin keeps four rescued cats and a bearded dragon named Zuko, a clinic rescue that now greets visitors from the waiting area. While reptiles may not be cuddly, she finds caring for them equally rewarding, though more high-maintenance. 'You really need to understand their biology and behaviour,' she says, noting that caring for reptiles involves daily food preparation and a carefully controlled environment. 'I love reptiles and furry pets. But I appreciate the calm and fascinating nature of reptiles: there's something therapeutic about watching them.' With reptile ownership steadily increasing in Malaysia, both Ooi and Nur Asyikin hope that prospective owners take the responsibility seriously. 'It's a long-term commitment,' Nur Asyikin stresses. 'You need to research thoroughly, understand the species' needs, and be fully prepared for the journey ahead.'
