The Cove

The Cove is a 2009 documentary film of the purported annual killing of about 2,300 dolphins in a National Park at Taiji, Wakayama, in Japan. The film highlights that this is about three times the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and claims that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan's most recent progress report 1,569 cetaceans in Taiji were killed during the 2007 season, including methods other than drive hunting. Only 1,239 cetaceans were killed by drive hunting. A total of 13,080 cetaceans were killed throughout Japan in 2007.

The film was directed by former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, and portions were filmed secretly during 2007 using underwater microphones and high-definition cameras disguised as rocks.The documentary won the U.S. Audience Award at the 25th annual Sundance Film Festival in January 2009. It was selected out of the 879 submissions in the category.

I strongly recommend you guys to watch this documentary film. You will discover the true human nature of destroying the endangered species of dolphins and whales. Give your support and help to save the dolphins!

MWA e-magazine article

Located in a typical Malay village of Kampung Bengok, about 15 kilometers from Simpang Ampat Tol Exit, in the outskirt of Rembau, lies Gunung Datuk, a legendary peak with the height of 870 meters or 2,900 feet.

At the foothill, you will cross a small stream of waterfall to begin your climb. The first 10 minutes was sheer walking and later followed by 70 to 90 degrees of ascending trail. Interlocking of bare roots and rocks challenged your fitness and perseverance along the way. Your heart started pumping frantically. So, think twice before you decide to climb! After 50 minutes, you will reach the 1st check point. Well, that too depends on how well you can go. After approximately one and half hour of worthy perspiration and tough climb, you will reach the peak. Enormous boulders and small steel ladders are the end of your climb. Adjacent to the peak is a cozy cave that is the home to mediators. The picturesque view of the land below and the open sky will surely promise you an awesome breathtaking moments. Gushes of cool icy breeze may chill your cheeks! The sound of Mother Nature (chatters of monkeys) is the music to your ears.

On a bright sunny day, you are lucky to see ships sailing along the Straits of Malacca while the local train passing through the oil palm and rubber plantation amidst the kampung. The facilities provided like chalets, camping sites, toilets, car parking lots are satisfactory and certificates are even issued upon request. For city folks, health conscious individuals or nature-lover clubs, this is the best getaway from the buzzing city.

MWA Tak Nak Merokok Campaign!

How much damage smoking does to your body depends on the type of tobacco, the form it is smoked, the temperature it is burned, the length of time you have been smoking and your general state of health. Cigarette smoking is the most dangerous form and every cigarette you smoke shortens your life.

Cigarette smokers are twice as likely to die before middle age and the average smoker aged 35 has a life expectancy five and a half years shorter than a non-smoker. In many cases, these deaths are caused by cancer."Cigarette smoking accounts for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths. It is a major cause of cancers of the lung, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, pharynx (throat), esophagus (swallowing tube connected to the stomach), and bladder, and it contributes to the development of cancers of the pancreas, cervix, kidney, stomach, and also some leukemias," according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).

Aside from lung cancer, smoking damages the cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems of the body. The irritating substances found in a cigarette can disturb the bronchial passages and fill the lungs with mucus. Normally, glands in the interior lining of the lungs constantly produce mucus. Together with dirt and bacteria, the mucus is expelled from the lungs by the action of cilia or small hair-like projections. Inhaled smoke, however, interferes with the action of cilia and stimulates mucus production. Because of this, mucus, tar and other bacteria are trapped in the lungs. Smoker's cough is a sign that the lungs are clogged with mucus and coughing is the body's attempt to get rid of tar and phlegm.

Bacteria in the lungs can later lead to bronchitis (the Inflammation of the bronchial tubes) or emphysema in which the air passages of the lungs are enlarged. This makes breathing difficult and can damage the heart. Atherosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries) and thrombosis (the formation of blood clots) are common in smokers because the level of fatty acids and cholesterol in the blood is raised.

Let us all support the new 'Tak Nak Merokok Campaign 09' by Malaysian Ministry of Health. Quit smoking and love our environment!
