Time to revive five petals, five principles emblem

There was a time when our national flower, the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, was a
common element in our daily lives. I remember when, as a lower primary school
child in the 1980s, we learned to draw and colour the red Bunga Raya. Beneath the
gentle whir of dusty ceiling fans, my classmates and I pressed coloured pencils onto
sheets of art paper as our teacher called out, What is our national flower?. The red
Bunga Raya! wed chorus. Why was it chosen?
Red for courage and life, five petals for five principles in Rukun Negara, we
would sing out before proceeding to recite the principles we had learnt by heart. That
was how we learned about the flower, and were instilled with patriotic values at the
same time, in our youth.
So where is the Bunga Raya in our lives now?

There are around 500 Malayan tigers living in the peninsular of Thailand and
Malaysia.

The Malayan tiger, along with the Sumatran tiger, is perhaps the

smallest extant subspecies of tiger. Malayan tigers are sparsely distributed in

isolated small forests, secondary vegetation, and abandoned agricultural land.
They mostly live in areas of low human and road density. Their low density is

mainly due to low prey numbers. The majority of this subspecies' habitats are
found in four Malaysian states: Pahang, Perak, Terengganu, and Kelantan. They
are known to prey on deer, wild boar and sun bear.
This species is threatened by human-wildlife conflict and loss of habitat due to
forest conversion for agriculture and development. Logging operations and

10

development of roads pose a big threat to tiger habitat in the Taman Negara.
Moreover, conversion of forests to agriculture or commercial plantations has
resulted in more frequent encounters between tigers and livestock. In retaliation,
tigers are often killed by authorities or angry villagers, or else captured and put in
zoos. Tigers killed as conflict animals often end up sold on the black market,
creating a link between human-tiger conflict and poaching.

16) Based on the information from the text, where does the Malayan tiger can be
easily found?
A. Abandoned agricultural land and secondary vegetation.
B. Areas of low human density in Thailand and Malaysia.
C. Forests in peninsular of Thailand and Malaysia.
D. Tiger habitats in the Taman Negara.

17) What is the main cause for lower density of Malayan tigers in Malaysia?
A. Increasing density of human and road.

livestock?
A. Logging operations and development cause the loss of tigers habitats.
B. Tigers are being hunted due to the human-wildlife conflicts.
C. Development of roads puts a higher number of tigers existent in human
surroundings.

tigers.
