Malaysian Child Rearing Practices and Its Relationship to Realth Malaysian Child Rearing Practices and Its Relationship to Realth by Wazir-Jahan Karim A Research Project Funded by the International Developmsnt Research Centre 1981 RC FÉB2].1983 IDRC ; rrz^i 3 - p-- 79_ o cc 58- Acknowledgaments I vould like to express my appreciation and gratitude to thé International Development Research Centre for agreeing to fund this research project in 1978. Z also wish to thank UNICEF for providing me with financial assistance for the section of the research on traditional médical practitioners and village medicines conducted I' in Yen, Kedah. The assistance and co-operation of the Ministry of Realth has been a major factor in ensuring the emooth implémentation of the research in Seberang Prai and I would specifically like to thank Dr. Chee Chin Seang, the Deputy Director of Health in Penang, Sister Kvan, Dr. Raj Karim from the Maternai and Child Health Division in the Ministry and other médical and nursing personnel in Seberang Prai for providing me with continuous assistance during the period of my fieldwork. I would also litre to thank the management of Malakoff Estate at Thsek Glugor, in particular the Manager, Mr. Jones and Mr. Shankar for allowing me to conduct my research on the estate and also for assistance provided when the census survey was conducted. My sincereat thanks also to the KEMAS teacher at Junjong, Rokiah Ahmad and the teachers at the Malakoff Estate pre- school, for help rendered to my research assistants, Muniamah Kandasamy, Tengku Zainah and Susan Oorijitham, during the intensive field work period. Ficnaliy, I can quite confidentiy say that this research would not have been possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of my research assistants and the keen interest of e nutritionist from Minnesota University, Misa Mary-Pat Selvaggio, to conduct a The study has taken approximately two and e half years to be completed between its period of inception in mid 1978 to ite period of completion in November 1981. There were considerable problems in the formulation of the research design, selection of research areas and the hiring of research assistants but despite these difficulties, it has been a valuable and worthwhile experience. The technique of participant observation has enabled me to maintain a continuing rapport with the villagers of Junjong,and the female estate vorkers et Malakoff and consequently has enabled me to expand my research activities in these areas for other projects and programmes on vomen, youth and children. These research areas nov foret one of the bases of women studies in Peninsular Malaysia and is integrated with the KANITA Research Programme on Women and Children in Development. This Research Programme based et the School of Comparative Social Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia is currently funded by the National Advisory Council on the Integration of Women in Development (NACIWID), within the Prime Minister's Department et Kuala Lumpur. Ultimately, it is hoped that the research findings from this study mey be integrated into a book on medical anthropology in Malaysia which may yet be another meaningful contribution to the study of vomen and children in the field of illness and health. Wasir-jahan Karim November 1981 Preface This study vas initially prompted by research findings from my earlier doctorats research on illness, traditional medicine and shamanistic cures amongst an Orang Asli (aboriginal) group, thé Ma' Betisek, of Selangor, in Peninsular Malaysia. I discovered ".that beliefs and ideas relating to illness of infants and children vers conceptually and symbolically differentated from those of adulte and expressed a deeper sense of anxiety and appréhension about the supernatural or spiritual world. It vas interesting to know to what extent the major ethnie groupa in Peninsular Malaysia expressed similar patterns of differentiation vithin the value system pertaining to illness and health. My suggestion on the need for research on the relationship between child-rearing practices and health vas taken up by Dr. J.Y. Peng and subsequently Dr. Marjone Koblinsky, from IDRC and a research design vas formulated, to conduct such a research project, using both anthropological and social statistical techniques. It vas found to be necesaary to control social variables like income, class and rural-urban différences to study the entent to which socio-cultural values played a significant role in guiding the attitudes and practices of villagers, particularly mothers towards child-care and its integration with traditional and modern health and delivery system. Toddlers and pre-school children becams the focus of this research since children of this aga group have been regularly excluded for social science research in Peninsular Malaysia, Indeed, research in the field of médical anthropology has been aadly neglected in Peninsular Malaysia, despite its tremendous potential and valuable contribution to health development and planning. V r nutritional study in the research areas chosen for this study. I vish to thank some of my colleagues from the School of Comparative Social Sciences, particularly Encik Mohd. Razha Abdul Rashid and Mise Pauline Dass for helping me interpret some of my research findings pertaining to Malay and Tamil child socializations and traditional medicine, respectively.

  • Upin & Ipin: Promoting Malaysian Culture Values Through Animation
    Upin & Ipin: Promoting malaysian culture values through animation Dahlan Bin Abdul Ghani Universiti Kuala Lumpur [email protected] Recibido: 20 de enero de 2015 Aceptado: 12 de febrero de 2015 Abstract Malaysian children lately have been exposed or influenced heavily by digital media entertainment. The rise of such entertainment tends to drive them away from understanding and appreciating the values of Malaysian culture. Upin and Ipin animation has successfully promoted Malaysian folklore culture and has significantly portrayed the art of Malaysian values including Islamic values by providing the platform for harmonious relationship among different societies or groups or religious backgrounds. The focus of this research is to look into the usage of Malaysian culture iconic visual styles such as backgrounds, lifestyles, character archetypes and narrative (storytelling). Therefore, we hope that this research will benefit the younger generation by highlighting the meaning and importance of implicit Malaysian culture. Key words: Upin and Ipin; animation; narrative; folklore; culture; character archetypes. Upin e Ipin: promoviendo la cultura malasia a través de los valores de la animación Resumen Recientemente los niños en Malasia están siendo fuertemente expuestos cuando no influenciados por los medios masivos de entretenimiento digital. Esto les lleva una falta de comprensión y apreciación de la importancia de los valores de su propia cultura. La serie de animación propia Upin & Ipin ha promovido con éxito las diferentes culturas de Malasia y obtenido valores culturales significativos que representan a su arte, incluyendo el islámico, y proporcionando así una plataforma de relación armónica entre los diferentes grupos que componen la sociedad en Malasia, ya sea civil o religiosa.

  • MALAKOFF POSTS a NET PROFIT of RM286.6 MILLION for FY2020 Alam Flora and Higher Share of Profit from Associates Continue to Drive Earnings
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION MALAKOFF POSTS A NET PROFIT OF RM286.6 MILLION FOR FY2020 Alam Flora and Higher Share of Profit from Associates Continue to Drive Earnings KUALA LUMPUR– 19 February 2021: Malakoff Corporation Berhad (“Malakoff” or “Group”), a member of the MMC Group, recorded a Profit After Tax and Minority Interests (“PATMI”) of RM286.6 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 (“FY2020”), a decrease of 10.5% from RM320.2 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 (“FY2019”). The decline was primarily attributed to the absence of a one-off gain from the disposal of the Group’s investment in Malakoff Australia Pty Ltd (“MAPL”) in the previous financial year. However, this was partially moderated by the absence of a net impairment loss on the Group’s carrying value of investment in 40%-owned Kapar Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd (“KEV”) and the absence of KEV’s share of losses in FY2019. Excluding the extraordinary items consisting of the Macarthur Windfarm disposal gain, net impairment loss and share of losses from KEV and the gain on remeasurement of the Group’s investment in Shuaibah in FY2019 as well as the Tanjung Bin Energy Sdn Bhd (“TBE”) settlement gain in FY2020, Malakoff’s net profit improved by 20.5% from RM210.1 million in FY2019 to RM253.5 million in FY2020. The increase in the Group’s earnings excluding the extraordinary items were mainly attributable to the higher share of profit from associates amounting to RM171.8 million in the year under review, compared to a loss of RM21.6 million in the previous corresponding year.

  • CRONYISM and the NEP Chedet.Co.Cc August 06, 2008 by Dr
    CRONYISM AND THE NEP Chedet.co.cc August 06, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. When the New Economic Policy began to show some results in the early eighties, the Western Press and local opponents of the Government began to talk about cronyism. Whoever succeeded in a developing country like Malaysia, did so because they were the chosen favourites of the Government, particularly the head of the Government. 2. I came in for virulent attacks because some Malays actually did well in business. They were all labelled my cronies whether they were indeed my cronies or not. Anyone who succeeded was immediately defined as my crony. 3. Many close friends, relatives and members of my family who failed in business would not be called cronies. 4. It is not the actual relation or association with the leader that qualifies one to be the crony of the Prime Minister. It is the success of the individual. Failures, no matter how close they may be to the Prime Minister would not be called cronies. 5. This left me in a quandary. As head of the Government I had to ensure the success of the NEP objective of reducing the disparities between the bumiputeras and the non-bumis. This reduction must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich. It wouldn't do to have parity among the low income and middle income only, while big businesses are all in the hands of the non-Bumiputera millionaires. 6. While most Bumiputeras who were given shares and opportunities to do business abused these opportunities, a few tried seriously and some of them succeeded.
