Malaysia

The geographic location and natural resources do play an important role in the the development of Malaysia and it can be explained as below. 


Malaysia is a peninsular and  its location along the Strait of Malacca, make it an important part of a major sea-route connecting the Far East to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.  This is good for its trading business.


Tin, oil, and gas are the major natural resources of export produced by the mining sector in Malaysia.  The major mines are situated in Peninsular Malaysia, making it easy to transport their products to the nearest seaports.  Further, there is great potential for development of this sector, since Malaysia has various relatively under-exploited mineral resources in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), including bauxite, iron ore, copper, ilmenite, and gold. Additionally, there are large offshore reserves of high-quality oil and gas.




The 3 main crops—rubber, palm oil, and cocoa—have dominated agricultural exports.  In addition to these products, Malaysian farmers produce a number of fruits and vegetables for the domestic market, including bananas, coconuts, durian, pineapples, rice and rambutan. The Malaysian tropical climate is very favorable for the production of various exotic fruits and vegetables, especially since Peninsular Malaysia seldom experiences hurricanes or droughts. Also, since rice is a staple foodstuff in the everyday diet of Malaysians , it plays an important part in the country's agriculture. 


Malaysia is also one of the world's largest oil palm producers and one of the world's leading suppliers of rubber.  It is the world's fourth-largest producer of cocoa.  Being a tropical rainforest, logging is another important export revenue for Malaysia.


The development of Malaysia is certainly made easier by its strategic geograhical location and structure and its varied natural resources.

Mangrove

 Mangrove, Mangroves are one of the most important trees in the world specially in small city's or towns. They are important because if any storm comes the mangrove will protect the towns by holding the storm back. And that is why we cant cut the mangrove trees. If there was no mangroves so many city's and towns would be destroyed.

This year the 6 grade classes went to Kuala Selangor to plant some mangrove trees. They plant mangrove trees to help mother earth. It was a sinking challenge but all the kids got throw it. All of the 31 kids planted a sapling and helped mother earth. Before people realized that we need the mangrove trees they where almost extinct. So the grope of nature said to the government that mangrove trees are one of the most important trees is the world . Sense then the government is extra protective with mangrove trees.


Because of mangrove trees so menny kids and adult have been saved of floods.
