Penang: Nyonya at Pinang Peranakan Mansion

DSCF4304

Pinang Peranakan Mansion is located in business neighbourhood of Georgetown. It is adorned with high quality houseware and jeweleries that you might find in Chinese wedding reception or high-end Chinese family. One another time, I met a Nyonya Just before gone back to my hostel. She is beautiful Chinese lady who talks in speedy Malay. One of her attention on me is my solo traveling. From all people who questioned my traveling lifestyle it’s only her and the other woman in Penang who praised this (crazy) idea. Well she definitely loves to chat and maybe travel when she’s young too.

So what kind of blogger are you?

As you have seen on my profile, I have background in biological science and conservation + natural resource management work.

I visited Penang recently through Singapore. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is located in historical of Strait of Mallacca.

[Notes] RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment

I attended RSPO outreach meeting last Friday on RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment. Just a quick review on the meeting, RSPO remediation and compensation has two different procedures and respectively must be treated differently although there is chance both occurred in the same location. The compensation liability depends on year establishment, certification status, and membership based (with special notes for RSPO member would be penalised more than not member if found non-compliances). There are 3 main points in the RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures that need to be highlighted from the 13 points stated in whole procedures:Continue reading “[Notes] RSPO Remediation and Compensation Procedures related to Land Clearance without Prior HCV assessment”
