ECER Push For Tourism Through Malaysia's Largest Pheasant Sanctuary

KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 (Bernama) -- The East Coast Economic Region (ECER) is host to the largest pheasant sanctuary in Malaysia, as part of its efforts to promote tourism.

The 1.7-acre Ajil Pheasant Park has been certified by the Malaysian Book of Records as the country's largest pheasant sanctuary and breeding farm. It is located along the road to Kuala Berang and the Kenyir Lake.

The park has 38 pheasant species out of a known 49 in the world, including the endangered Green Peafowl, which was last spotted on the Besut coast in 1958.

The ECER secretariat said in a statement Thursday that Oh Siong Lai, the park operator, started the venture as a hobby.

"At the farm, we are breeding the Green Peafowl and currently working with the Terengganu state government, to re-introduce the birds back into their natural habitat," Oh said.

According to Oh, the pheasants which are among the most beautiful birds in the world, are attracting local and foreign tourists alike.

He explained that most of the pheasants at the park were imported from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

A former schoolteacher, he said plans are afoot to expand the park to house several small mammals like foxes and porcupines, to complement the deer and several species of monkeys.

He also intends to create a herb garden within the park for study and research.

"However, these plans are still very preliminary as the current cost of maintaining the park, exceeds the collection from entrance fees," he said.

ECER Council woos Germans
Published: 2009/04/28

FRANKFURT: Representatives of Malaysia's East Coast Economic Region Development Council, who were recently part of a 70-member strong Malaysian business delegation on a visit to Germany, made a strong pitch before a large audience of potential German investors and invited them to avail of the "incredible business opportunities" available to them in Malaysia's east coast.

"We have earmarked a huge outlay of some RM15 billion (about US$4.1 billion) over the next 15 years. Half of the allocations will be spent for infrastructure development while the other half from the private sector is to develop a number of industries," said Datuk Jebasingam Issace John, chief executive officer of the East Coast Economic Region Development Council, in an interview here.

"We are looking at all approaches and programmes to accelerate the region's development firom 5 per cent to 7 per cent of the national gross domestic product and in the process expect to create half-a-million new jobs by 2020," he said.

He listed a number of areas where the ECER was inherent with good business potential. The attractive features of Kuantan Palm Oil Industrial Park, Pekan Automotive Industrial Park, Pahang Technology Park, Kemaman Heavy Industrial Park, Halal Park, Kuantan Palm Oil Industrial Park, Kertih Plastics Park were highlighted before the investor audience.

Because of the imbalance in the development between the east and west coasts of the country, the Malaysian government's strategy is to develop logistics infrastructure, including ports, airports, roads and highways which will make shipments and distribution easier.

The private sector would concentrate on developing oil, gas and petrochemicals, resource-based manufacturing industries, tourism, agriculture and education, he said.

According to Jebasingam, one of the "most important projects" is the development of the Kuantan Port which will offer connectivity to two billion people in the Asia Pacific region.

The port recorded a throughput of 10 million tonnes in 2008 and has projected to grow to 30 million tonnes in 2020.

"Kuantan Port is also being developed to accommodate larger vessels of the current generation. The expansion is being done to facilitate oil and gas shipments and other commodities, mainly to Asean markets.

"We are also developing a free trade zone and a transshipment hub for the automotive cluster in the Pekan Automotive Industrial Park," he said. - Bernama

Located in the historic Borough district in central London, the Malaysia Trading House is promoting products from 52 Malaysian companies, ranging from halal food and beauty products, to household and craft items.

The UK halal market is worth around 2.8 billion pounds (1.00 = RM5.39).

There are two million Muslims in the UK but according to the UK Food Safety Authority, there are six million consumers of halal food nationwide.

According to Sheikh Ahmad, Komita also plans to open similar trading houses in Casablanca, Morocco, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Perdana Menteri berkata, projek bernilai RM2 bilion itu bertepatan dan bersesuaian dengan kehendak serta keperluan semasa negara dalam meningkatkan usaha cari gali dan pengeluaran minyak mentah dan gas asli.

Katanya, berdasarkan skala pembangunan projek yang membabitkan kawasan seluas 1,658 hektar, ia mampu memenuhi permintaan dan keperluan aktiviti cari gali dan pengeluaran minyak mentah serta gas asli sama ada di Malaysia mahu pun rantau Asean.

"Projek Taman Industri Minyak, Gas dan Maritim ini berjaya mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan daripada pelabur asing dan tempatan untuk menempatkan operasi mereka seperti limbungan kapal, limbungan fabrikasi, pangkalan bekalan dan kemudahan perkhidmatan dan terminal penyimpanan minyak.

"Ini adalah pencapaian yang sungguh memberangsangkan dan ia sudah tentu akan memberi harapan cerah kepada penduduk di daerah ini terutama kampung sekitarnya berkaitan peluang pekerjaan dan perniagaan. Insya-Allah projek ini akan memberi perubahan dari segi ekonomi yang boleh dinikmati semua pihak," katanya.

Beliau berkata, kerajaan mengalu-alukan projek sedemikian kerana ia dapat meningkatkan sumbangan sektor perkhidmatan kepada pembangunan ekonomi negara.

"Sektor perkhidmatan adalah satu daripada punca penjanaan sumber ekonomi negara dan ketika ini ia menyumbang kepada 54 peratus Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) dan menerusi aktiviti sebegini maka ia boleh ditingkatkan kepada 70 peratus," katanya.

Beliau berkata, kerajaan sebelum ini sudah meluluskan peruntukan sebanyak RM150 juta untuk menjayakan projek berkenaan di bawah Pelan Pembangunan Ekonomi Wilayah Pantai Timur (ECER) dan sedia menambah peruntukan berkenaan pada masa akan datang.

The 1.7-acre Ajil Pheasant Park has been certified by the Malaysian Book of Records as the country's largest pheasant sanctuary and breeding farm. It is located along the road to Kuala Berang and the Kenyir Lake. The park has 38 pheasant species out of a known 49 in the world, including the endangered Green Peafowl, which was last spotted on the Besut coast in 1958. The ECER secretariat said in a statement Thursday that Oh Siong Lai, the park operator, started the venture as a hobby. "At the farm, we are breeding the Green Peafowl and currently working with the Terengganu state government, to re-introduce the birds back into their natural habitat," Oh said. According to Oh, the pheasants which are among the most beautiful birds in the world, are attracting local and foreign tourists alike. He explained that most of the pheasants at the park were imported from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. A former schoolteacher, he said plans are afoot to expand the park to house several small mammals like foxes and porcupines, to complement the deer and several species of monkeys. He also intends to create a herb garden within the park for study and research. "However, these plans are still very preliminary as the current cost of maintaining the park, exceeds the collection from entrance fees," he said. -- BERNAMA

"We have earmarked a huge outlay of some RM15 billion (about US$4.1 billion) over the next 15 years. Half of the allocations will be spent for infrastructure development while the other half from the private sector is to develop a number of industries," said Datuk Jebasingam Issace John, chief executive officer of the East Coast Economic Region Development Council, in an interview here. "We are looking at all approaches and programmes to accelerate the region's development firom 5 per cent to 7 per cent of the national gross domestic product and in the process expect to create half-a-million new jobs by 2020," he said. He listed a number of areas where the ECER was inherent with good business potential. The attractive features of Kuantan Palm Oil Industrial Park, Pekan Automotive Industrial Park, Pahang Technology Park, Kemaman Heavy Industrial Park, Halal Park, Kuantan Palm Oil Industrial Park, Kertih Plastics Park were highlighted before the investor audience. Because of the imbalance in the development between the east and west coasts of the country, the Malaysian government's strategy is to develop logistics infrastructure, including ports, airports, roads and highways which will make shipments and distribution easier. The private sector would concentrate on developing oil, gas and petrochemicals, resource-based manufacturing industries, tourism, agriculture and education, he said. According to Jebasingam, one of the "most important projects" is the development of the Kuantan Port which will offer connectivity to two billion people in the Asia Pacific region. The port recorded a throughput of 10 million tonnes in 2008 and has projected to grow to 30 million tonnes in 2020. "Kuantan Port is also being developed to accommodate larger vessels of the current generation. The expansion is being done to facilitate oil and gas shipments and other commodities, mainly to Asean markets. "We are also developing a free trade zone and a transshipment hub for the automotive cluster in the Pekan Automotive Industrial Park," he said. - Bernama
