  • Utilising Local Cuisine to Market Malaysia As a Tourist Destination
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 144 ( 2014 ) 102 – 110 5th Asia Euro Conference 2014 Utilising local cuisine to market Malaysia as a tourist destination Mohd Hairi Jalisa,* , Deborah Chea, Kevin Markwellb aSouthern Cross University, Locked Mail Bag 4, Coolangatta QLD 4225, Australia bSouthern Cross University, Military Road (PO Box 157), East Lismore NSW 2480, Australia Abstract Travelling to a tourism destination can be made more exciting by experiencing the local cuisine. The variety of cooking methods and colourful ingredients blend together in a hot wok to create signature dishes of particular cuisines. Nevertheless, a cuisine needs to be clearly defined by definite individual characteristics so it is recognised. The primary objective of this study is to understand how Malaysian cuisine is used in marketing Malaysia as a tourist destination. Content analysis is used on selected Malaysian cuisine promotional materials such as brochures, travel guides, and webpages to extract relevant data. Results show that “close-up meal” had the highest image count from among the eight categories identified. As for text, ten categories were identified. “Creating desire” topped the list, followed by “sensory appeal”. The Malaysian Government is particular in the details selected for images of and narrative on the local cuisine. As a result, the marketing collateral could provide excitement and help tourists to anticipate the type of food experience that they can find when travelling in Malaysia. Additionally, it could help understanding what Malaysian cuisine is and develop the brand image. © 20142014 ElsevierThe Authors. Ltd. ThisPublished is an open by Elsevier access articleLtd.

  • Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor
    Malapportionment in the 2015 – 2016 Redelineation Exercises Prepared by: Penang Institute Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor After 2016 Redelineation Proposal (First Display) Excessively under-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P162 Gelang Patah 112,081 176.71% 2 P159 Pasir Gudang 108,156 170.52% 3 P158 Tebrau 99,592 157.02% 4 P160 Johor Bahru 98,351 155.06% 5 P161 Pulai 95,980 151.32% 6 P163 Kulai 95,822 151.07% 5 P150 Batu Pahat 91,328 143.99% 6 P152 Kluang 88,212 139.07% Justification for excessive under-representation: None. They can have smaller electorates, if voters can be more evenly spread out across constituencies. At least one parliamentary seat should be taken from less populous areas and given to Greater Johor Bahru. Excessively over-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P143 Pagoh 36,387 57.37% 2 P142 Labis 37,569 59.23% 3 P157 Pengerang 38,338 60.44% 4 P155 Tenggara 40,670 64.12% 5 P151 Simpang Renggam 41,052 64.72% 6 P153 Sembrong 41,629 65.63% 7 P141 Sekijang 41,896 66.05% Justification for excessive over-representation: None. None of these parliamentary constituencies occupies a large landmass to qualify for over-representation as provided for by Section 2(c), the Thirteenth Schedule of the Federal Constitution. Tellingly, Mersing which has approximately twice the landmass than Pagoh has more voters than any of these. Ratio of Largest Constituency to Smallest Constituency: 3.08: 1 Changes in Malapportionment: Malapportionment is not mitigated by the redelineation proposal even though some victims of malapportionment have changed.

  • Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram
    Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram Realitarakyat.com – Para pemimpin partai oposisi di Malaysia menolak tawaran kerja sama politik dari PM Muhyiddin Yassin dan menuntutnya segera mundur. Sebelumnya pada Jumat (13/8) Muhyiddin secara terbuka mengakui ia tak memiliki suara mayoritas di Parlemen dan meminta dukungan dalam voting mosi tidak percaya pada September nanti. Sebagai imbal balik, Muhyiddin menjanjikan tujuh tawaran kepada para pemimpin partai oposisi. Di antara tujuh penawaran tersebut adalah pembatasan masa jabatan Perdana Menteri menjadi maksimal dua periode, dengan satu periode lima tahun, pengajuan RUU Anti Lompat Partai, serta mengurangi batasan usia pemilih dari semula 21 tahun menjadi 21 tahun. Hari ini partai oposisi ramai-ramai menolak tawaran tersebut, salah satunya Pakatan Harapan. “Ini adalah kali pertama dalam sejarah Malaysia seorang Perdana Menteri mengakui ia telah kehilangan suara mayoritas, tapi terus mencari dukungan,” menurut keterangan resmi Pakatan Harapan. “Pakatan Harapan telah mengambil sikap untuk menolak keras semua tawaran tidak tulus dari Tan Sri Muhyiddin yang seharusnya dilakukan lebih awal dan bukan pada akhir kehidupan politiknya.” Penolakan juga disampaikan oleh Presiden UMNO Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dan Presiden Pejuang Tanah Air, Mukhriz Mahathir. “UMNO tidak bisa mempertimbangkan tawaran dari seseorang yang tidak lagi memiliki legitimasi,” kata Ahmad Zahid dalam keterangan resmi. Ahmad juga menyarankan masyarakat untuk tetap tenang sampai Yang di-Pertuan Agong melakukan tanggung jawab konstitusionalnya berdasarkan Pasal 40 (2) untuk mengangkat perdana menteri baru dari antara anggota DPR. Penolakan lain disampaikan oleh Majelis Kepresidenen Pakatan Harapan Anwar Ibrahim (Presiden Partai Keadilan Rakyat), Hj Mohamad Sabu (Presiden Partai Amanah Negara), dan Lim Guan Eng (Presiden Partai Tindakan Demokratik atau DAP) dalam pernyataan pers di Kuala Lumpur, Sabtu.

My name is Annah Bachman and I have the honor of serving as your Crisis Director. I am a third year Political Science and Philosophy double major here at UNC-Chapel Hill and have been involved with MUNCH since my freshman year. I’ve previously served as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee and as the Crisis Director for the Security Council for past MUNCH conferences. This past fall semester I studied at the National University of Singapore where my idea of the Malaysian Parliament in 1965 was formed. Through my experience of living in Singapore for a semester and studying its foreign policy, it has been fascinating to see how the “traumatic” separation of Singapore has influenced its current policies and relations with its surrounding countries. Our committee is going back in time to just before Singapore’s separation from the Malaysian peninsula to see how ethnic and racial tensions, trade policies, and good old fashioned diplomacy will unfold. Delegates should keep in mind that there is a difference between Southeast Asian diplomacy and traditional Western diplomacy (hint: think “ASEAN way”).
