Industrial Corridors of Selangor (The Star 23/11/1998) WHEN the concept of Vision 20201 was first mooted by our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Selangor was to lead the pack towards achieving this goal.

  • Meriam Di Kota Melawati, Kuala Selangor
    International Journal of the Malay World and Civilisation 8(2), 2020: 19 - 24 (https://doi.org/10.17576-2020-0802-03) Meriam di Kota Melawati, Kuala Selangor Cannons in Fort Melawati, Kuala Selangor MOHD HAIDI MOHD KASRAN, ROZEHA HARUN & MOHD HAIRUL IZWAN MOHD KASRAN ABSTRAK Makalah ini ditulis dengan tujuan untuk mendokumentasikan semula kewujudan beberapa laras meriam besi di Kota Melawati, Kuala Selangor, Selangor. Terdapatnya meriam ini merupakan salah satu bukti wujudnya Kerajaan Kesultanan Selangor dan unsur penjajahan Belanda dan Inggeris di negeri Selangor. Kepentingan meriam ini menunjukkan bahawa kewujudan persenjataan demi mempertahankan kedaulatan raja dan negeri daripada ancaman musuh telah lama wujud. Dokumentasi ini membuktikan bahawa orang Melayu bukanlah bangsa yang lemah dan hanya mengenal keris dan tombak, malahan telah pandai membina dan menggunakan meriam sebagai salah satu senjata hebat yang digunakan sebagai senjata pertahanan. Berdasarkan kepada artifak meriam ini juga telah banyak membantu menyelongkar sejarah peradaban kesultanan Melayu dan rakyat Selangor. Kata kunci: Meriam; kepentingan; kesultanan; Selangor; pertahanan ABSTRACT This paper is written with the purpose of re-documenting the existence of a barrel of iron cannon at Melawati Fort, Kuala Selangor, Selangor. The discovery of the cannons are the manifestations of the Selangor Sultanate and the colonization of the Anglo-Dutch in Selangor. The existence of these cannons also show the armaments and defenses for the sovereignty of the king and state against the threats among enemies. Such discoveries imply that the Malays were not weak for not only have the dagger and the spear, they had even formulated security defense with the cannon as one of the most powerful weapons used to defeat the enemies.

During a period of unprecedented challenges, we scaled programmes across nine states and federal territories to directly support over 7,800 primary and secondary students, the majority of whom were from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting disruptions had a profound effect on children’s education and brought to the fore the inequalities of young people’s lives across the country. As a strategic partner to the Ministry of Education Malaysia, FINCO supported the widespread efforts to minimise disruptions to children’s learning amidst sudden school closures. Digital access was virtually impossible for many young people, and therefore education provision relied heavily on the ability of teachers to reach their students. Our response to adapt programmes was swift and, in consultation with partners, careful consideration ensured that the solutions and delivery mechanisms catered to even the hardest to reach students while still aligned to national education strategies and relevant in the medium to long term.

  • Integrated Management of Malaysian Road Network Operations Through ITS Initiatives: Issues, Potentials and Challenges
    Integrated management of Malaysian road network operations through ITS Initiatives: issues, potentials and challenges Moazzem Hossain Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) GL33, Kelana Square, Kelana Jaya, PJ 47301, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract During the last twenty five years, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted considerable growth of Malaysian highway network. Apart from few specialized industrial zones, most of the industrial zones are established in close proximity of the urban areas in order to ensure the smooth supply of manpower especially for the dominating manufacturing sectors. This phenomenon resulted in a number of large regional units of transport demand base involving high private motorized trips and truck dependent freight trips. The growth of car and truck trips especially in the regions including sea ports is putting tremendous pressure on the capacity of these regions’s road network which cannot be subdued by only physical extension of the network which often proved to be costly also. As a result, a number of such regions e.g. Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru are experiencing the problems of congestion, accidents and air pollution on their highway network. In many developed countries integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) initiatives applied to these sorts of regional bases have been claimed to be successful in alleviating those problems in a cost-effective manner. This paper will investigate the issues related to such integrated application of ITS initiatives in Malaysia on a regional basis with particular focus on Klang Valley region. Starting from the basic ITS functionality, the paper will identify the potential focus areas such as data gathering, data communication among and across jurisdictions, System flexibility, smart use of alternative routes, public-private collaboration and integration of public-private agencies in terms of regional ITS operational needs.

    ADB DEVELOPING BEST PRACTICES FOR PROMOTING PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE ROADS Asian Development Bank The views, conclusions, and recommendations presented here are those of the study consultants, and should not be considered to represent the official views of the Asian Development Bank or its member governments. © Asian Development Bank 2000 ISBN No. 971-561-280-6 Stock No. 010300 Published by the Asian Development Bank P.O. Box 789, 0980 Manila, Philippines For more information on ADB, visit http:\\www.adb.org FOREWORD This report is one of a series of five commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to identify and recommend best practices to be followed and specific steps to be taken, by ADB’s developing member countries in order to encourage both private sector investment and competition in infrastructure development. The study was financed through a $600,000 regional technical assistance grant - RETA 5753: Developing Best Practices for Promoting Private Sector Investment in Infrastructure. This report focuses on the road sector; the other reports cover the power, water supply, airport and air traffic control, and port sectors. Transport is central to achieving prosperity and the quality of life, to which all countries aspire. Transport policy has pervasive impacts: on economic performance; on the shape and structure of human settlements through its impact upon physical development and economic structures; on the distribution of income; and on the environment. This report develops best practices for promoting private sector investment in the road sector. It defines the objectives of private sector participation, reviews experiences of private sector participation in Asia and elsewhere, examines the degree of success that has been achieved to date, and identifies the key issues that provide the basis for determining best practices.

Bhd. CHAPTER 6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 6.0 Introduction This chapter outlines the existing environment concerning the physical environment, land use pattern, socio-economic characteristics and human health conditions in vicinity of the existing Proposed Project site. The information serves as the background or baseline data on various aspects of subject matters in connection with the proposed scheduled waste management facilities.

The condition of the existing environment of the project site and within five (5) km radius of surrounding area is further described in this chapter. The compiled data on the existing environment is regarded as ‘baseline’ environmental condition to assess potential environmental changes, if any that may arise during the implementation of SSWTC project. The discussion on existing environment will be based on the physical environment, human environment and baseline environmental quality at the surrounding area of the project site. Information provided on this chapter was gathered through primary and secondary information including site observations and monitoring, socio- economic and health assessment survey, desktop data search, abstraction of information from published reports and related agencies. 6.1 Zone of Study The zone of study is within five (5) km radius from the Proposed Project site called as the Zone of Impact (ZOI).
