Question No.1-5

Raja Ampat is the newest diving spot in Indonesia that catches world’s attention both from commercial and scientific sides.
    The Raja Ampat archipelago encompasses more than 9.8 million acres of land and sea off the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s West Papua Province. Located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, the seas around Raja Ampat possibly hold the richest variety of species in the world – an incredible 75% of all known coral species are found in the surrounding seas.
    Raja Ampat or “Four Kings” is the name given to this island and comes from local myth. The four major islands found here are Waigeo, Misool( which is home to ancient rock paintings), Salawati, and Batanta.
    The area’s massive colonies along with relatively high sea surface temperatures, also suggest that its reefs may be relatively resistant to threats like coral bleaching and coral disease, which now jeopardize the survival of other coral ecosystem around the world. The Raja Ampat islands are remote and relatively undisturbed by humans.
     The high marine diversity in Raja Ampat is strongly influenced by its position between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as coral and fish larvae are more easily shared between the oceans. 1,309 fish species, 537 coral species ( a remarkable 96 % of all scleractinia recorded from Indonesia are likely to occur in these
islands), and 699 mollusk species, the variety of marine life is staggering. Some areas boast  

enormous schools of fish and regular sightings of sharks, such as wobbegongs.

   Question No. 6-13
Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area wasa kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise, and sensitive. Many princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because she was more concerned with ruling her country and guarding her people.
One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchantship but the boat was loaded with tradegoods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought gold and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t refuse instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal first. After the envoys left thepalace, the queen called a court officer and ordered him to infiltrate the Chinese boat to gather information on the prince.
When night fell the officer sneaked onto the boat, got by all the guards, and finally foundthe prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t find a peek hole, so the officer put his ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having his dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the of_cer. It was like a boar that he had once heard when he was hunting.
He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have
been a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only
during the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his
proposal.
The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the
prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen AjiBidaraPutih chewed aleaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it turned to giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes chased them and sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of Centipedes), with Chinese treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.
