In Memory of Malaysia Bird Photographer : Choo Tse Chien

I opened Nelson Khor's Facebook this morning and got sad and shocking news.
Choo Tse Chien passed away yesterday at 2 p.m.  He had a cardiac arrest at the young age of 41.
I knew him from a few birding trips at Fraser's Hill and Bukit Tinggi. Wonderful nice chap, and he sent me two CDs of the bird song of SEA free of charge. The Bird Photography community will surely miss you...
Condolences to all family members.

This picture was taken by him at Bukit Tinggi while waiting for Orange-headed Thrush in January 2010.

This picture was taken by me at Frazer's Hill while waiting for Rufous-browed Flycatcher

You can see his work on his web sites:

Al-Fatihah

Atuk, Gagak dan Perkahwinan - Crow, Grandpa and Wedding

I went to my brother-in-law's wedding at Kg. Sawah Sempadan last Saturday.

While waiting for this event, I had a few minutes to explore the area and got this Crow.

Large-billed Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) - Location: Kampung Sawah Sempadan, Kuala Selangor.

Atuk (Homo sapiens sapiens) ;) - waiting for Asar prayer outside the mosque.

I'm not good in an event or portrait
Photography.
Wan Nursuhada was willing to pose while I tested my flash setting at the Sawah Sempadan Mosque.

The girl on the right was photographed at the bride's house.

My small contribution to Muzium Alam Semulajadi Malaysia

A few of my bird pictures from this blog, maybe display in Malaysia Natural History Museum.
Muzium Alam Semulajadi, located at Prestint 15 Putrajaya will be open to public on 1st November 2009 . Now the museum staff and curators are busy collection specimens, document etc. .
Of all the countries in the Asian region, only Malaysia and Laos are without these facilities, so the government planned this in 2006 and commissioned the United Nations Development Program (Project Steering Committee) to study the project. Their report and recommendation is here.

Official Letter from Museum

The curators of Malaysia Natural History Museum, visited me on Tuesday to collect the above picture files. I submitted 24 big files in uncompressed tiff to her, that 7+ GB of data!. I make no money from this, as this is a non-profit an educational and for conservation purpose. I still maintain the copyright holder to those pictures.

Yours truly and museum curators.
