I missed the National Geographic Channel programme on Among the Great Apes with Michelle Yeoh (aired on ASTRO Channel 553), but I was drawn to an article in The Star reviewing the programme. Datuk Michelle Yeoh did her bit to help protect the endangered Orang Utan. She became a volunteer at the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, a facility for orphaned and injured orang Utans in Sandakan Sabah. The Centre's aim is to nurse them back to health before releasing them back to the wild. The Malaysian Government is also in an effort to creating forest corridors to link pockets of protected habitats for these endangered species.

About Me
- PALM OIL FOR LIFE!
- I am neither a writer nor a thinker, but I do have thoughts and ideas to share with readers and bloggers alike. Working with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board(MPOB)for almost 25 years, I have developed a passion for this wonder oil that is feeding the whole world. Hence, upon retirement from government service in 2005, I have left behind a legacy (if I may use the term)as a tribute to the Golden Crop of Malaysia. With a devoted team supporting my idea, the Palm Information Centre was crystallized, integrating all the information-based service components of the Resource Library, Digital Archives, the Galeri, the PalmShoppe and the InfoCafe. As our beloved country Malaysia celebrates 3 decades of quality R and D since the establishment of MPOB 1979-2009, I open this humble blog to share and reminisce together the glorious performance of Malaysian Palm Oil - No 1 Oil in the world. Beginning 2007, I turned entrepreneur, hence my other blog http://www.tulengiftshop.blogspot.com Datin Mardhiah Md Zin, Head, Palm Information Centre, MPOB 1982-2005
