The data presented is very far from comprehensive and is intended merely to complement other sources. These include digital and paper charts, published yacht cruising guides/pilots and tourist guidebooks. The Guide includes waypoints to be used with the Global Positioning System (GPS). For those unfamiliar with latitudes and longitudes, there is a brief introduction in Appendix I. There are few published sailing guides for yachts in South East Asian waters. The Cruising Guide to South East Asia, Volumes I & II by Davies & Morgan, published by Imray, Laurie Norie & Wilson, have insufficient detail for many destinations in Malaysia. It’s believed that new editions will be published soon. The South East Asia Pilot, Dowden & O’Leary, Image Asia, (2013) was originally published as the Andaman Sea Pilot and dealt principally with the waters off Western Thailand. It has now been much expanded and has good coverage of the Malacca Straits and for much of the east coast of the Peninsula. Future editions will doubtless have better information on Malaysian Borneo. Some published sailing guides expend far too many words describing what should be clearly evident from paper or electronic charts. In this Guide the intention is not to duplicate charted information. Where the published nautical charts have been found in error, or where new developments remain uncharted, this data will be incorporated in to the Guide as it becomes available. Listed GPS waypoints should be treated with grave suspicion in this and every Pilot and Yacht Cruising Guide. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the information offered is accurate, errors are inevitable and there are certainly significant omissions. In some areas of Malaysia, things are changing so fast that they have likely outpaced all attempts to report them. These Notes are a work in progress. A string of asterixes ******** means that it’s believed that significant information is missing. Additional information, corrections and comments are always very welcome. Please send your contributions to Sail Malaysia at [email protected] All contributors will be acknowledged in future editions of this Guide. Monsoon Sailing The weather in Malaysian waters is dominated by the monsoons. The south-west monsoon begins in May/June and continues to October/November. The north-east monsoon begins in November/December and continues to April/May. There are transitional periods between the monsoons which the Singapore meteorological office refers to as “No persistent significant condition”. The monsoons may be strong, moderate, or, most commonly, weak. The Passage to Langkawi Yacht Rally sails from near Johor Bahru (just north of Singapore) in November. After arriving in Langkawi the rally fleet has the sheltered western coasts of peninsula Malaysia and Thailand to explore during the dry north-east monsoon season. Many stay on for the south-west season, which has more rainfall but there are plenty of safe anchorages and marina berths. The Passage to the East sails from Langkawi in April and heads north to the eastern shore of peninsula Malaysia in early May – crossing to Borneo in June and finishing at Tawau in August.

  • An Interim Evaluation of Penang's First Bike-Share Scheme
    GEOGRAFIA OnlineTM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 15 issue 3 (163-175) © 2019, e-ISSN 2682-7727 https://doi.org/10.17576/geo-2019-1503-12 163 An interim evaluation of Penang’s first bike-share scheme Nadhrah A Kadir, Lim Ghee-Thean, Law Chee Hong School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia Correspondence: Nadhrah A Kadir (email: [email protected]) Received: 23 April 2019; Accepted: 25 July 2019; Published: 22 August 2019 Abstract Bike-sharing schemes are gaining worldwide momentum as a non-motorized transport. The reasons why cities have jumped on the bandwagon of implementing a bike-share system are to reduce traffic congestion, to improve air quality and as an alternative transport option to move around cities. As part of the effort to be “cleaner, greener, healthier and safer,” Penang Island has decided to launch the first bike-share scheme in Penang, making it the first state in Malaysia to ever implement a bike-sharing program with a docking station. While the existing literature on bike-sharing focuses on European and North American cities, less attention is given to experiences in South East Asia, especially small cities in the South East Asia. This paper aims to fill that gap by evaluating the performance of the pioneer of the bike-sharing program in Penang; i.e. the LinkBike. Using the inaugural data from LinkBike’s first annual report, as well as data from personal interviews and grey literature, this paper attempts to understand the performance, opportunities and challenges facing LinkBike in its first year of operation. Essentially, results show that LinkBike was performing quite well considering it was the bike-share pioneer in Penang.

  • Seasonal Variability of Groundwater Quality in Kapas Island
    Chapter Seasonal Variability of Groundwater Quality in Kapas Island, Terengganu, Malaysia Mohmadisa Hashim, Arijatul Wardah Ahmad, Zahid Mat Said, Nasir Nayan, Hanifah Mahat, Yazid Saleh and Koh Liew See Abstract The chapter aims to evaluate the groundwater quality levels in Kapas Island, Terengganu, Malaysia during the monsoon changes of the Southwest Monsoon (SWM), Monsoon Transition (MT) and Northeast Monsoon (NEM) in 2018. Four locations were used for groundwater sampling namely, the Kapas Coral Beach Resort, Kapas Beach Chalet, Pak Ya Seaview Chalet, and Kapas Island Resort. Three water samplings at each station for every month in the monsoon. Six parameters of the Malaysian Water Quality Index (WQI), i.e., dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), were used to evaluate the water quality. The findings showed the groundwater quality parameters are in Class I and II. However, according to WQI Malaysia, the water quality status during the three monsoons is slightly polluted. During the SWM, the WQI value was 76 (Class III), the MT was 77 (Class II), and the NEM was WQI 71 (Class III). Given this status, it requires more intensive water treatment as it is not suitable for direct drinking water supply. The implications of the study show that the quality of groundwater in Kapas Island has to improve by the tour operators. Keywords: water quality index, groundwater, slightly polluted, water treatment, island tourism 1. Introduction The increase in the population of an area will have an impact on the demand for clean water supply.

  • Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo
    Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo John Randall (Books of Asia) [email protected] First printed edition of the finest literary work in the Malay language 1 Abdullah bin Abdulkadir, editor. Sejarah Melayu. , [Singapore]. First edition, 8vo, pp. [1]-7 (preface), [1, blank], [1, title], [2], 4-368. Malay text in Jawi (Arabic script). With Bibliotheca Lindesiana bookplate and pencil inscription: Malay Books No.3. [205244] SOLD The Sejarah Melayu, or Malay annals, (in Arabic, Sulalat al-Salatin or Genealogy of kings) was composed in the early 16th century by Tun Seri Larang, an official at the court of Sultan Mahmud Shah. It records the history of Malacca from its foundation by the Srivijayan prince Parameswara around 1400, through its rise to become the richest entrepot in southeast Asia, to the Portuguese conquest in 1511. The Sejarah Melayu is the finest literary work in the Malay language, written by Tun Seri Larang, the greatest Malay author of the classical period. They are moreover the most important Malay historical text, providing a handbook of Malay statecraft and outlining the relationship between ruler and subjects. While there are more than thirty extant manuscripts of Sejarah Melayu there are only four recorded copies of this first printed edition. Two are at the Library of Congress, one known to have been purchased for $3 in Singapore in 1842 by the United States Exploring Expedition under Wilkes, one at Leiden, and one at the National Library of Malaysia. No date of publication appears in the text. Our copy was in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, the celebrated collection built by Lord Lindsay (1812-1880), 25th Earl of Crawford, and his son James Ludovic Lindsay.

  • Btsisi', Blandas, and Malays
    BARBARA S. NOWAK Massey University SINGAN KN÷N MUNTIL Btsisi’, Blandas, and Malays Ethnicity and Identity in the Malay Peninsula Based on Btsisi’ Folklore and Ethnohistory Abstract This article examines Btsisi’ myths, stories, and ethnohistory in order to gain an under- standing of Btsisi’ perceptions of their place in Malaysia. Three major themes run through the Btsisi’ myths and stories presented in this paper. The first theme is that Austronesian-speaking peoples have historically harassed Btsisi’, stealing their land, enslaving their children, and killing their people. The second theme is that Btsisi’ are different from their Malay neighbors, who are Muslim; and, following from the above two themes is the third theme that Btsisi’ reject the Malay’s Islamic ideal of fulfilment in pilgrimage, and hence reject their assimilation into Malay culture and identity. In addition to these three themes there are two critical issues the myths and stories point out; that Btsisi’ and other Orang Asli were original inhabitants of the Peninsula, and Btsisi’ and Blandas share a common origin and history. Keywords: Btsisi’—ethnic identity—origin myths—slaving—Orang Asli—Peninsular Malaysia Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 63, 2004: 303–323 MA’ BTSISI’, a South Aslian speaking people, reside along the man- grove coasts of the Kelang and Kuala Langat Districts of Selangor, HWest Malaysia.1* Numbering approximately two thousand (RASHID 1995, 9), Btsisi’ are unique among Aslian peoples for their coastal location and for their geographic separation from other Austroasiatic Mon- Khmer speakers. Btsisi’, like other Aslian peoples have encountered histori- cally aggressive and sometimes deadly hostility from Austronesian-speaking peoples.

  • Canadian Airmen Lost in Wwii by Date 1943
    CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm).
