New MNS Perak Alternative Website
Due to limited space we have decided to move to a new site so that
more news and graphics will be put up for members to view. Anyone accessing
that old website at Geocities will be guided to the new url which is: http://mnsperak.virtualave.net/nature.html.
The average number of visitors to the website has increased tremendously
during the month of March and April..
New Members
We welcome the following who applied to join as new members either
directly to HQ or through the Perak Branch. If anyone is left out of this
list please write in to inform the Chairman.

Tan Kean Cheong Bird Conservation Fund
In fulfillment of the late Mr. Tan Kean Cheong's wishes to see to the
prosperity of our feathered friends, his executrix, Ms Tan Yoke Sim,
sent MNS Perak Branch a cheque for RM21,000.00 on 12/3/99 bringing the
total amount received for the Fund to RM33,000 of which RM4,000 was given
to MNS Bird Conservation Council for the Malim Nawar Bird Sanctuary/ Nature
Park Feasibility Survey. With this generous legacy, the MNS Perak Branch
now pledges its best to realise this wish.
Branch AGM and National AGM
The branch AGM will be held tentatively on Saturday 17 July 1999 while
the National AGM will be held on 28-30 August 1999. Please keep these dates
free as your participation is most important.
Insect Photos
Mr. Michael Yeh has given us a number of insect photos which Dr. Chan
has kindly put up on the homepage. By the way a new phasmid found in Tapah
has been named after him by Paul Brock in a book just published by the
MNS. Thanks a lot Michael!
