Alena Murang's latest single released in connection with World Biodiversity Day
Alena says through her music, she is inviting the listeners to remember the wisdom passed down by the indigenous communities, that is to live in a balance with the land. KUCHING (May 19): Alena Murang has released her new single, 'Jaga Alam', in connection with World Biodiversity Day and also the upcoming Gawai Dayak festivities. The musician and cultural guardian, in a statement yesterday, hailed the number as 'a heartfelt call to protect the Earth's forests, and all forms of life calling it home'. The single 'Jaga Alam', which means 'taking care of nature' in Bahasa Malaysia, is sung in the national language, but there is a special line among the verses that is sung in Alena's native Kelabit language. 'Through my music, I invite the listeners to remember the wisdom passed down by the indigenous communities, that is to live in a balance with the land. 'In my Kelabit culture, nature is not something separate from us – it is a part of who we are. 'Caring for the land is also a central part of Gawai celebration, which is to give thanks for the rice harvest. 'This song is a gentle reminder that nature will always take care of us, if we take care of it,' said the artiste, also a sape' player. Adding on, Alena also described the new song as 'a blend of the meditative tones of the sape' with simple yet powerful lyrics, echoing a message of respect and responsibility towards nature'. 'With this release, I hope to contribute not only through music, but also by raising awareness of indigenous perspectives on conservation and their love for the land.' As one of the few female sape' players in the world and a voice for her community, Alena continues to use music as a bridge between worlds – past and present, nature and people, as well as tradition and change. 'The World Biodiversity Day, celebrated on May 22 each year, is a global reminder of how connected we are to the natural world, whilst Gawai is a day to be grateful for the food that nature gives us,' she added. The music video can be viewed on YouTube, and the audio is available on Spotify and Apple Music. Alena and Joshua Maran are credited as the songwriters, with the lyrics written by Alena.

Alena Murang's latest single ‘Borneo Rain' out in time for Mother Earth Day
Alena says through her latest single, she aims to bring listeners back to the rainforest, showing that rain is not something to avoid but something that gives life to everything around us. KUCHING (April 23): Singer-songwriter and sape player Alena Murang has released her latest single, 'Borneo Rain' just in time for International Mother Earth Day. The song, now streaming on all major listening platforms, is sung in the Kelabit language, an endangered language spoken by fewer than 6,000 people from the highlands of Sarawak. Alongside it, Alena has also released the Malay and instrumental versions of 'Borneo Rain'. 'I aim to bring listeners back to the rainforest, showing that rain is not something to avoid but something that gives life to everything around us. 'Borneo Rain is a song that celebrates rain as a blessing – for the land, and in turn, for all of us. 'Growing up, I have learned through songs and stories from my elders that the rain isn't troublesome weather, but it's necessary for life. 'When the rain falls, it nourishes the earth, and that's something to be grateful for,' she said in a promotional release. According to Alena, Borneo is one of the wettest places on Earth, and home to some of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world. 'With this song, I hope listeners would feel both joy and a quiet sense of peace – the kind of calm we often find when we're truly immersed in nature.' The music video visualiser, released on Monday, features Alena wearing a 'Samit' — a traditional raincoat worn in the Kelabit Highlands, made from palm leaves and stitched by hand with bark cloth or pineapple fibre. The music video can be watched on YouTube. Alena Murang entertainment lead music rainforest

Trump mulls $5K ‘baby bonus' for moms in bid to reverse declining birth rates: report
The Trump Administration has been mulling ways to get more Americans married and having kids — including a $5,000 'baby bonus' for every new mom after delivery, according to a report. White House officials have recently been brainstorming plans to tackle the declining birth and marriage rates — and push more Americans toward the traditional family values of Trump and his allies. The Trump administration is mulling a 'baby bonus' for parents in an effort to curb plunging birth rates. REUTERS Policy experts and advocates for growing the birth rate have been meeting with White House aides to come up with plans to convince more women to have babies, four people who have been part of the meetings told the New York Times. One plan would give a $5,000 incentive to new moms, while another would see that 30% of all Fulbright scholarships be given to applicants who are married or have children. Another option being considered would have the government fund programs to educate women on their menstrual cycles so they can know when they are ovulating and able to conceive, according to the report. White House officials have not yet indicated what plans, if any, they are looking to push forward. One plan would offer $5,000 to new moms after they give birth. Alena – The sources noted that fertility issues will likely become a prominent piece of the agenda in order to achieve the 'baby boom' that Trump is currently seeking.
