Tandatangan Saksi Nama Jawatan ii SEMIOTIK RIFFATERRE DALAM PANTUN KANAK-KANAK ABSTRAK PKK merupakan salah satu daripada jenis pantun Melayu. PKK dicipta dengan bentuk dan makna yang ringkas, seiring dengan meningkatnya usia kanak-kanak, tahap perkembangan kognitif, kematangan serta fitrah kanak-kanak yang amat gemar akan bahasa yang mudah dan berirama. Makna dalam PKK dapat disimpulkan dalam bentuk peribahasa, kiasan bahasa dan kata-kata yang pendek, tegas, tetapi luas dan dalam maknanya. Walau apapun jenis pantun yang tercipta, pantun tetap unggul sebagai simbol artistik masyarakat Melayu dan juga lambang kebijaksanaan berfikir. PKK mendukung maksud yang sukar difahami menghalang pembaca khususnya kanak-kanak untuk memahami makna yang hendak disampaikan. Hakikatnya, bukan semua kanak- kanak dapat menguasai pantun dengan mudah apatah lagi bagi kanak-kanak yang memiliki latar belakang bahasa Melayu yang masih rendah. Gaya bahasa dalam PKK sangat ketara penggunaan bahasa sasteranya berbanding puisi Melayu moden kerana banyak menggunakan kata-kata kiasan dan kata-kata yang jarang digunakan dalam pertuturan seharian. Berlandaskan permasalahan kajian, unsur bahasa yang menjadi wadah dalam penciptaan PKK perlu dilihat melalui pendekatan semiotik bagi menemukan pusat makna dalam PKK. Analisis semiotik yang digunakan adalah model semiotik yang diasaskan oleh Michael Riffaterre. Teori SR (1978) dilihat sebagai pendekatanUniversity yang sesuai berdasarkan ‘langkah of kerja’ Malaya yang jelas melalui empat aspek pemaknaan iaitu pertama; ketidaklangsungan ekspresi, kedua; pembacaan heuristik dan pembacaan hermeneutik, ketiga; matriks, model dan varian-variannya serta aspek keempat; hipogram. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengklasifikasi PKK mengikut tema menggunakan unsur matriks, model dan varian-variannya. Pemilihan tema dibuat berdasarkan cakupan tema merujuk Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah yang iii dilaksanakan melalui Dokumen Standard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran Bahasa Melayu. Kajian ini juga menganalisis aspek ketidaklangsungan ekspresi dan hipogram, dan seterusnya menilai aspek pembacaan heuristik dan hermeneutik untuk memaknai PKK. Hasil penyelidikan menunjukkan makna semiotik PKK dapat dijelaskan melalui kemampuan melihat penyatuan bahasa pantun yang mendukung sistem semiotik tingkat pertama dan kedua. Analisis PKK melalui unsur matriks, model dan varian-variannya boleh menjadi petunjuk yang jelas untuk mengklasifikasi tema dalam PKK hingga menjurus pada sistem semiotik tingkat pertama yang disampaikan dalam pantun. Hasil penyelidikan juga menunjukkan pembacaan heuristik mampu menemukan makna dalam PKK melalui pengkajian struktur bahasa dengan mengintrepetasikan secara referensi kepada tanda linguistik. Seterusnya pembacaan hermeneutic, kesinambungan dari pembacaan heuristik yang melibatkan banyak kod di luar bahasa serta menggabungkannya secara integratif mampu membongkar makna keseluruhan pantun sebagai sistem tanda. Kajian ini juga dapat meletakkan pantun sebagai suatu teks sastera yang berkesinambungan baik di peringkat sebelum mahupun selepas pantun tersebut tercipta sehingga boleh ditransformasikan kepada teks-teks sastera yang lain. Implikasi kajian ini menampakkan kesesuaian tema KSSR untuk diterapkan dalam PKK yang boleh menjadi wadah pengajaran bahasa sekali gus memperkembangkan bidang yang dikaji iaitu pantun Melayu dan menampakkan kepelbagaian fungsi teori SR sebagai alat untuk mengkaji puisi moden dan tradisional. Kajian ini memperoleh penemuan baharu berkaitanUniversity pengaplikasian pembacaan heuristik of dan Malaya hermeneutik dalam PKK sebagai medium yang membantu untuk meningkatkan tahap penguasaan bahasa khususnya penguasaan terhadap aspek semiotik dalam pantun melayu. Kata kunci: Pantun kanak-kanak, Semiotik Riffaterre, makna, pembacaan heuristik, pembacaan hermeneutik iv SEMIOTIC RIFFATERRE IN CHILDREN PANTUN ABSTRACT Children Pantun (CP) is one type of Malay ‘pantun’. CP is created with simple meanings and pattern, inline with children’s age, level of cognitive development, maturity and their nature who like a simple and rhyme language. Meanings in CP can be summarised into proverbs, similes and short and brief sayings, with vast and profound meaning. Regardless of how ‘pantun’ is created, it remains as an artistic symbol of Malay culture and wisdom. CP with ambiguous meanings prevents readers particularly children to comprehend the predetermined meaning. In reality, not all the children can grasp the meaning of ‘pantun’ dexterously, especially to those who have a Malay background. Based on research problem, the language element which becomes the medium of creating CP can be seen through semiotic approach to meet the central meaning in CP. The semiotic analysis used is a model by Michael Riffaterre. SR Theory (1978) is regarded as an appropriate approach based on clear ‘work procedure’ via four meaning aspects. Firstly, unpremeditated expressions. Secondly, heuristic and hermeneutic reading. Thirdly; matrix, models and variants and last but not least is hypogram. This study aims to classify CP based on themes using matrix, models and variants. The theme selection is referred to the Primary School Curriculum Standard which is being applied through Curriculum Standard Document and Malay Language Assessment.University This research also analyses unpremeditatedof Malaya expressions and hypogram, and subsequently applying heuristic and hermeneutic reading aspects to interpret CP. Findings showed that the semiotic meaning of CP can be clarified through the ability to see the unity of language in ‘pantun’ which supports the first and second level of semiotic system. Significantly, CP analysis via matrix, models and variants can be a definite guide to classify themes in CP that draws to the first level of semiotic system which can be delivered in ‘pantun’. Furthermore, findings also demonstrated that the v application of heuristic reading is effective in understanding meaning in CP through the study of language structure by interpreting, referring to linguistic symbols. Moreover, the application of hermeneutic reading, a continuation from heuristic reading that involves abundant codes outside the language and combines them integratively could unload the whole meaning of ‘pantun’ as a symbol system. This study hopes to set ‘pantun’ as a sustainable literary text either before or after ‘pantun’ is created which can be transformed to other literary texts. The implications of this research reveals the KSSR themes can be applied in CP as a medium to teach language, as well as expanding the research of ‘pantun’ Melayu and exhibits multiple functions of SR Theory as a tool to study modern and traditional poems. This research gains a new discovery related to the application of heuristic and hermeneutic reading in CP as a means that supports in improving level of language proficiency, especially in understanding all the meaning and semiotics in Malay ‘pantun’. Keywords: Children pantun, Semiotic Riffaterre, meanings, heuristic reading, hermeneutic reading University of Malaya vi PENGHARGAAN Setinggi kesyukuran dipanjatkan kehadrat Ilahi di atas limpah kurnia kasihNya, tesis ini dapat disempurnakan. Sesungguhnya, pengalaman dalam menyiapkan kajian ini amat mencabar dan bermakna dalam kehidupan. Semoga kajian ini boleh memberikan manfaat

Ia menegaskan bahawa sesuai dengan perubahan sosio-politik, ‘bidang makna’ yang berkaitan konsep ‘intelektual’ dan lokasi sosial sebenar para intelektual itu sudah mengalami perubahan besar sepanjang abad dua puluh. Ini menimbulkan cabaran kepada sejarahwan yang ingin melihat masa lampau dengan kaca mata masa kini tetapi yang sepatutnya perlu difahami dengan tanggapan yang ikhlas sesuai dengan masanya. Selain itu, ia juga menimbulkan cabaran kepada penyelidik sains sosial untuk mengelak dari mengaitkan konsep masa lampau kepada konsep masa terkini supaya dapat memahami sumbangan ide dan kaitannya kepada masa lampau. Sehubungan itu, makalah ini memberi bayangan sekilas tentang persekitaran, motivasi dan sumbangan beberapa tokoh intelektual yang terkenal di Malaysia. Kata kunci: A Samad Ismail, intelektual, wacana, Alam Melayu ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the discourse in Malaysia concerning intellectuals. It asserts that in concert with political and sociological changes, the ‘field of meanings’ associated with the concept of ‘the intellectual’ and the actual social location of intellectual actors have undergone considerable change during the twentieth century. This flags the challenge for historians who are telling today’s stories about the past in today’s terms, but who have to try to understand that past on its own terms. Further, it flags the challenge for social scientists to not merely appropriate the concepts of past scholars in tying to understand the present, but rather to also understand the context in which those ideas had relevance.

Ungku Abdul Aziz, affectionately known as Pak Ungku, reportedly breathed his last at about 4pm at a private medical centre here due to old age. He was 98. News of Ungku Abdul Aziz’s demise affected many, especially Universiti Malaya, which is synonymous with the late academician. Through its official Facebook page, the university described the passing of Ungku Abdul Aziz, its longest-serving vice-chancellor for 20 years, as an irreplaceable loss. Many have described his death as a great loss to the country for he had contributed in various fields including education, economy, poverty eradication and the national cooperatives movement.

In fact, Anjuman-i- Islam, was considered as a branch of Khwaja Kamaluddin’s own organization, Muslim Mission of Woking, England. Among the objectives of the Anjuman were to disseminate Islamic literature and spread the Islamic teaching; to help the Muslim Mission, Woking, in furthering its cause; and to open a Muslim reading room. The Anjuman had worked tirelessly to rally support from other Muslim organizations and societies throughout Malaya. This Islamic association primarily attracted the educated Muslims especially among the Indian Muslims and the Jawi Peranakan. However, less is known about its prominent leaders. Utilizing printed primary documents, thus, this study provides brief profiles of the prominent members of the Anjuman-i-Islam and their roles in this Islamic association. Keywords: Anjuman-I Islam, Malay-Muslims, Indian-Muslims, British and Caliphate. 2019 JHLCB Introduction Early 20th century Malaya was characterized by British colonialism, the influx of immigrant communities and the Malay-Muslim’s backwardness vis-à-vis the immigrant communities. Therefore, Muslim intelligentsias in Malaya were very concerned with the sorry state of the Muslim ummah. Accordingly, they increasingly felt the urgent need to bring about reform within Muslim society to redress the problems facing them. This article provides information on the Muslim organization, primarily associated with Muslims of Indian-origins, known as the Anjuman-I Islam.

Embroidering the Golden Chersonese: Metallic Thread Needlework in the Malay Peninsula Hwei-Fe’n Cheah [email protected] Historians emphasize the diversity and fluidity of Malay world identity and culture, questioning the very meaning of “Malayness.”1 A summary glance at early twentieth century examples of metallic thread needlework reveals the “mixed and many” Malay embroidery styles.2 While these styles have been associated with different regions,3 the relationships between them have not been examined closely. This paper assesses examples of late 19th and early 20th century embroideries from four regions in the Malay peninsula. Although not comprehensive, it highlights two particular features of peninsular Malay embroideries – the use of glass and the ways in which plant forms are crystallized – as flexible means through which embroiderers and their patrons articulated a broader shared history alongside local interpretations.

  • Writing Women: the Women's Pages of the Malay-Language Press, 1987
    Writing women: The women’s pages of the Malay-language press, 1987-1998 Sonia Randhawa ORCid number: 0000-0002-5919-2663 This thesis submitted to the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Melbourne September 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates depictions of Malay-Muslim women in two Malay-language newspapers, contrasting the portrayals on the women’s pages with how women were depicted on the “malestream” leader and religion pages. I ask why these portrayals were different, paying attention to the political function of the various pages and the relationship of their writers to the keystone party (Umno) of the ruling coalition. The thesis also investigates differences and similarities between the women’s pages of the two newspapers, Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian. Using a combination of oral histories with 21 women journalists who worked in various sections of the papers, and content analysis of around 8,000 articles, this thesis asks how the women journalists in the women's page interpreted news values in Malay-language newspaper newsrooms. I further contrast the construction of the “Malay-Muslim woman” in the women’s pages with the hegemonic construction by the ruling party and in the leader and religion pages. The period I examine falls in the calm between two political storms, 1987’s Operasi Lallang and 1998’s Reformasi. During this period, journalists in the Malay-language press saw themselves as largely free, operating within parameters defined not by legislation, but by Asian values and developmental discourse.
