closer to the Indonesian island of Sumatra than to East Malaysia. East Malaysia is home to
Mount Kinabalu, the country’s highest point, which has an elevation of 13,455 feet (4,101
meters).
Malaysia is blanketed by tropical rainforests. Large rivers, fed by nearly 10 feet of rain (about
three meters) a year, flow from the country’s highlands and empty into warm tropical seas.
Combined, these three ecosystems—forest, river, and marine—make Malaysia one of the
world’s 17 mega-diverse countries. (A mega-diverse country is one that’s home to a majority of
Earth’s species and has a high number of endemic species, or species found only in one
location on the planet.)
Malaysia’s tropical rainforests are also home to several endangered species, including
Sumatran rhinoceroses, pygmy elephants, and Bornean orangutans in East Malaysia. Malayan
tigers and Indochinese leopards prowl the Malay Peninsula. In the South China Sea, several
sea turtle species—including the olive ridley, hawksbill, green, and leatherback sea
turtles—swim in the warm waters.
Malaysia has several vast nature reserves and national parks throughout the country. Taman
Negara National Park, established in 1939, is the country’s oldest national park. Located on the
Malay Peninsula, Taman Negara protects one of the world’s oldest rainforests, estimated to be
more than 130 million years old—and was once home to dinosaurs.Malaysia is a federal
constitutional monarchy that consists of 13 states and three federal territories, which include the
capital city region of Kuala Lumpur, the administrative capital of Putrajaya, and the island of
Labuan off the coast of East Malaysia.
Malaysia’s monarch is a ceremonial head of state referred to as Yang di-Pertuan Agong, or
“paramount ruler.” The federal government, which governs all of Malaysia, includes a Senate
(the Dewan Negara), a House of Representatives (the Dewan Rakyat), and a prime minister
appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Before the late 20th century, rubber and tin exports drove Malaysia’s economy. Natural
resources still remain an important part of the economy—especially rubber and palm oil— but
the country also has a strong manufacturing industry, as well as growing financial and banking
services.
[10/15, 22:27] SKILL INDIA: Kale, also called leaf cabbage, belongs to a group of cabbage
cultivars grown for their edible leaves, although some are used as ornamentals. Kale plants
have green or purple leaves, and the central leaves do not form a head.
Kales are considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most of the many domesticated forms of
Brassica oleracea.It is derived from wild mustard.Kale originated in the eastern Mediterranean

and Anatolia, where it was cultivated for food beginning by 2000 BCE at the latest. Curly-leaved
varieties of cabbage already existed along with flat-leaved varieties in Greece in the 4th century
BC. These forms, which were referred to by the Romans as Sabellian kale, are considered to be
the ancestors of modern kales.
One may differentiate between kale varieties according to the low, intermediate, or high length
of the stem, along with the variety of leaf types. The leaf colours range from light green to green,
dark green, violet-green, and violet-brown.
Classification by leaf type:
Curly-leaf (Scots kale, blue curled kale)
Bumpy-leaf (black cabbage, better known by its Italian translation ‘cavolo nero’, and also known
as Tuscan Cabbage, Tuscan Kale, lacinato and dinosaur kale)
Sparkly-leaf (shiny and glossy)
Plain-leaf (flat-leaf types like red Russian and white Russian kale)
Leaf and spear, or feathery-type leaf (a cross between curly- and plain-leaf)
Ornamental (less palatable and tougher leaves)Many varieties of kale and cabbage are grown
mainly for ornamental leaves that are brilliant white, red, pink, lavender, blue, or violet in the
interior of the rosette. The different types of ornamental kale are peacock kale, coral prince,
kamone coral queen, color up kale, and chidori kale.Raw kale is composed of 84% water, 9%
carbohydrates, 4% protein, and 1% fat (table). In a 100 g (3+1⁄2 oz) serving, raw kale provides
207 kilojoules (49 kilocalories) of food energy and a large amount of vitamin K at 3.7 times the
Daily Value (DV) (table). It is a rich source (20% or more of the DV) of vitamin A, vitamin C,
vitamin B6, folate, and manganese (see table “Kale, raw”). Kale is a good source (10–19% DV)
of thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and several dietary minerals, including iron,
calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus (see table “Kale, raw”). Boiling raw kale
diminishes most of these nutrients, while values for vitamins A, C, and K and manganese
remain substantial (see table “Kale, cooked”).Kale, a type of green leafy vegetable from the
