    Coastal resource development in Malaysia: Is there a need for sustainable mangrove forest management?
    (Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, 2004) Jahara yahaya; Santha Chenayah
    In Malaysia, there are working plans for the conservation and management of mangroves in Matang, Perak. Pioneered by the British Administration, the Matang mangroves exemplify an example of sustainable use for timber production and fishery production without compromising the ecological and environmental values of the ecosystem. Thus, management of mangrove forests inherently involves multiple criteria approach for ranking alternatives for its sustainable use. The purpose of this study is to investigate the need for sustainable mangrove forest management in Malaysia. In this paper, first, we discuss the issues involved in proper management of mangroves in Malaysia. Subsequently, we examine the formulation of a sustainable mangrove management plan. We conclude with some recommendations for further considerations.

    Prioritizing climate change mitigation: An assessment using Malaysia to reduce carbon emissions in future
    (Springer, 2015) Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Rajah Rasiah; Santha Chenayah
    This study examines empirically climate change related vulnerability impacts, and remedial options as an optimal and applicable strategy by prioritizing needs in climate change mitigation over 95 years. An Empirical Downscaling Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (EDDICE) is deployed using an optimal scenario for Malaysia against a baseline scenario of existing conditions following the top-down disaggregation strategy recommended by other studies.
