Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

This technique has been proven to be the best alternatives to replace the previous forecasting technique such as Linear Regression Analysis and Flow Rating Curve which are less suitable to be applied to predict the non-linear stage and discharge data. The specific discharge data analysed from the developed Thin Plate Spline Basis function were important and crucial for the operational of river water management such as flood control system and construction of hydraulic structures, hence contribute towards the relevancy of this research paper. The data of the water level which were used as the input and discharge as the output were equally important for the training and testing purpose and those are taken for the three most recent years of 2011, 2012 and 2013.

It is now cost effective to image large areas of the riverbed using these techniques and the backscatter image created from surveys provides base line data from which thematic maps of the riverbed environment including maps of morphological geology, can be derived when interpreted in conjunction with in situ sampling data. This article focuses on investigation characteristics of sediments and correlation of side scan backscatter image with signal strength. The interpretation of acoustic backscatter rely on experienced interpretation by eye of grey scale images produced from the data. A 990F Starfish Side Scan Sonar was used to collect and develop a series of sonar images along 6 km of Hulu Sungai Perak.

  • 1 0 MOUNTING DISASTER S HE Japanese Forces As a Whole Were
    CHAPTER 1 0 MOUNTING DISASTER S HE Japanese forces as a whole were now riding a wave of victories . T In the colony of Hong Kong, which had become a perilously-situate d extremity of British power, the enemy troops continued on 9th December their advance on the Gin Drinkers ' Line. This line, ten and a half miles long, occupied a commanding position on the mainland, but had little depth. Major-General Maltby,' commander of the British troops in China and of the Hong Kong Fortress, estimated that the line might be held fo r seven days or more, but only if there was no strong and capable offensive against it. It was hoped that sufficient delay would be imposed to enable final measures, possible only when war was certain, to be taken for defence of the main stronghold, the island of Hong Kong itself. The island, with an area of thirty-two square miles, is traversed b y an east-west range of steep, conical hills, rising to 1,800 feet at Victori a Peak. The densely-populated city of Victoria occupied principally a flat, narrow strip of land along the north-western shore . Some shelters agains t bombing and shelling had been provided, but for the majority of it s 1,750,000 inhabitants, mostly Chinese, no such protection was available . Its water supply came partly from the mainland, and partly from reservoirs on the island itself . In both respects it was vulnerable to enemy action . Since it was first occupied by the British in 1841, the island had graduated , like Singapore, from earlier use by pirates and fishermen, through increas- ingly lucrative stages, to affluence as a great port and commercial centr e on the main Far Eastern trade route .

  • The Spatial Configuration of Private Investments by Economic Actors in Perak
    The spatial configuration of private investments by economic actors in Perak A consideration of centricity of the regional urban system of Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia) Luka Raaijmakers (6314554) Under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven Faculty of Geosciences Department of Human Geography and Planning Master’s degree in Economic Geography Specialisation in Regional Development & Policy November 2019 Page | 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is part of the joint research project on regional urban dynamics in Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia). The project is a collaboration between Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and Think City Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven and Matt Benson. I would like to thank dr Leo van Grunsven for his advice related to scientific subjects and his efforts to make us feel at home in Malaysia. Also, I would like to thank Matt Benson and Joel Goh and the other colleagues of Think City for the assistance in conducting research in – for me – uncharted territory. I would like to address other words of thanks to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Institut Darul Ridzuan and all other political bodies that have proven to be valuable as well as economic actors for their honesty and openness with regard to doing business in Malaysia/Perak. Finally, the fun part of writing a master’s thesis in Malaysia, apart from obviously living abroad on a vibrant island, was the part of doing research. This required a little creativity, some resilience and even more perseverance. This could not have been done without the other student members of the research team that took part in the collective effort of unravelling the urban system of Perak by using the knowledge we have gained in our years as academics.
