http://mecadev.cnrs.fr/index.php?post/2016/10/07/Le-livre-de-la-Jungle-en-Malaysie-%28Rimba-Book%29

Conférence de Gopalasamy Reuben Clements organisée par la Société des Amis du Muséum, Amphithéâtre de Paléontologie le 15 octobre.  Gopalasamy Reuben Clements est professeur associé à Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (Malaisie) et chercheur responsable d’un projet de conservation du tigre. La conférence fait une large place aux images photographiques et vidéo. Elle sera donnée en anglais, avec traduction en français.

Résumé. «Le Livre de la jungle» de Rudyard Kipling raconte comment Mowgli, un petit homme élevé par une famille de loups, a entrepris un voyage à la recherche de son identité, tout en essayant de fuir un tigre. Le film fut un immense succès et une suite est en préparation, et on ne sait pas encore comment l’histoire se poursuit. Et si le film était produit en Malaisie? Dans la jungle, Rimba en malais, est-ce qu’un Mowgli plus âgé se serait lié d’amitié avec les mêmes animaux ? Aurait-il été également poursuivi par un tigre ? Est-ce que les jungles de Malaisie sont confrontées aux mêmes menaces des hommes? Rejoignez-nous pour un aperçu du Livre Rimba !

Abstract. Rudyard Kipling’s ’The Jungle Book’ was tale of how Mowgli, a man-cub raised by a family of wolves embarked on a journey of self-discovery while trying to flee a tiger. The movie was a big hit, and now the directors are in the midst of making Jungle Book 2. We don’t know how this sequel will turn out, but what if the movie was set in Malaysia? In the jungle, which is known as ’Rimba’ in Malay, would an older Mowgli have befriended similar animals? Would he have been chased by a tiger as well? Do the jungles in Malaysia face similar threats from humans? Join us for a sneak peak at ’Rimba book’.

Ramadhan Bazaar

Dear MAF members,

How is everyone doing? We hope that everyone is in the pink of health and enjoying the good weather in Paris lately. Just fresh off the successful Malaysian Food Bazaar on 5 June 2016, we are glad to share with you that there will be another bazaar happening this Saturday, 25 June 2016 from 15h00 to 19h00 at 48 Rue de la Faisanderie 75116 Paris.

It is organized by local Malaysian ladies who hope to continue promoting our food and culture to the locals. In addition to reaching others through this promotional exercise, the food available during the day would provide Malaysians, who are familiar with the traditional fare offered, a chance to get their fix of the fabulous and flavorful Malaysian cuisines in Paris. Some of the cuisines that will be available during the event would be laksa Johor, nasi daging air asam, Ikan bakar, nasi Kerabu, Ikan Masak asam pedas, special Penang lamb curry, nasi lemak, nasi ayam penyet, kuih seri muka, talam keladi, apam & lots of other good stuff. Thinking about it just makes us salivating already.

For those who worry about the crowds and queues, worry not. The organizers have provided us with a link to pre-order your desired food online. Once you’ve placed your order, all you need to do is just show up to collect your order and make the payment.

Please bear in mind that this time around, the bazaar would accept only CASH payment and NO coupons system is implemented. Do bring enough cash for the event. There are lots of good food to be bought and brought home (believe me you’d probably would wanna buy as much as you want).

Do come and show support to our fellow Malaysians. Mark your calendar and be there to shop for our maddeningly delicious qMalaysian cuisines. Why cook up a storm yourself if you could just buy it there? So do not miss this opportunity.
