The historic city of Melaka has stood witness to the glory days of the Malay Sultanate and later the occupation by Portuguese forces in 1511, followed by Dutch rule in 1641 before the British finally took over in 1824. Melaka is historically important, because not only was the declaration of independence proclaimed in Melaka when Malaya gained its independence from the British, but Melaka was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7th July, 2008. Being the cultural melting pot that it is, one can experience the old charm of its streets and colourful architecture, as well as enjoy a wide range of cuisines which will make you truly spoilt for choice. 10 www.PropertyHunter.com.my www.PropertyHunter.com.my 11 ADVERTORIAL to Malaysia’s west coast, particularly apart from having a collection of Malay Melaka Sultanate Palace HERITAGE TRAIL Melaka. traditional wear, musical instruments Melaka’s heritage trail is the main attraction with its fascinating history and assimilation of different cultures and antique furniture.

  • The Vulnerability of Bajau Laut (Sama Dilaut) Children in Sabah, Malaysia
    A position paper on: The vulnerability of Bajau Laut (Sama Dilaut) children in Sabah, Malaysia Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) 888/12, 3rd Floor Mahatun Plaza, Ploenchit Road Lumpini, Pratumwan 10330 Bangkok, Thailand Tel: +66(0)2-252-6654 Fax: +66(0)2-689-6205 Website: www.aprrn.org The vulnerability of Bajau Laut (Sama Dilaut) children in Sabah, Malaysia March 2015 Background Statelessness is a global man-made phenomenon, variously affecting entire communities, new-born babies, children, couples and older people, and can occur because of a bewildering array of causes. According to UNHCR, at least 10 million people worldwide have no nationality. While stateless people are entitled to human rights under international law, without a nationality, they often face barriers that prevent them from accessing their rights. These include the right to establish a legal residence, travel, work in the formal economy, access education, access basic health services, purchase or own property, vote, hold elected office, and enjoy the protection and security of a country. The Bajau Laut (who often self-identify as Sama Dilaut and are referred to by others as ‘Pala’uh’) are arguably some of the most marginalised people in Malaysia. Despite records of their presence in the region dating back for centuries, today many Bajau Laut have no legal nationality documents bonding them to a State, are highly vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. The Bajau Laut are a classic example of a protracted and intergenerational statelessness situation. Children, the majority of whom were born in Sabah and have never set foot in another country, are particularly at risk.

  • Ref: (25) MTCC 7/1/6/3 Date: 8 October 2015 Addresses As Listed
    Ref: (25) MTCC 7/1/6/3 Date: 8 October 2015 Addresses as listed (Sabah Stakeholders) Dear Sir/Madam, Announcement on the Review of the Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification (Natural Forest) [MC&I(Natural Forest)] The Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification (Natural Forest) or in short MC&I(Natural Forest) was published in January 2012 and adopted for use under the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS) in July 2012. 2. In accordance with the Rules on Standard Setting Process for Development of Timber Certification Standards (SSP3/2014) under the MTCS, the forest management standard is required to be reviewed at intervals that do not exceed a five-year period. Past experience has shown that a standard review process takes about two years to complete. It has therefore been proposed that the review of the MC&I(Natural Forest) be initiated in 2015 so that the review process can be concluded in 2017. The SSP3/2014 document is attached as APPENDIX I for your reference. 3. As you may be aware, the Proposed Process and Timelines for the Review of MC&I(Natural Forest) was presented at the MTCC Stakeholder Dialogue which was held on 28 July 2015. The process is expected to take 22 months to complete, involving the conduct of public consultations on enquiry drafts, meetings of Standards Review Committee (SRC), and regional consultations. 4. During the MTCC Stakeholder Dialogue, the possibility of merging the two forest management standards used under the MTCS, i.e. the MC&I(Natural Forest) and MC&I Forest Plantation.v2 into a single document was considered, based on a study carried out on this matter.

  • Message from YAB Prime Minister
    2 Message from YAB Prime Minister Against a backdrop of an increasingly competitive environment and uncertain global economic landscape, the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have continuously demonstrated resilience, perseverance and determination not only to succeed, but to become an important catalyst for Malaysia’s economic development towards attaining the nation’s aspiration in becoming a high-income economy in 2020. Central to our country’s transition is the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) where SMEs will play an integral part of this transformation process. Many of the projects announced under the various National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) will benefi t SMEs. SMEs are poised to assume an even greater role in propelling Malaysia and increasing their contribution to the economy going forward. However, with the new role comes new challenges. This also includes the challenges from the liberalisation of the services sector where SMEs have a strong presence. The changing environment and new role I believe will call for a new approach to SME development to accelerate the growth of SMEs. For this purpose, the Government is now fi nalising the SME Masterplan that will chart the policy direction for SMEs through the year 2020 by creating the conducive ecosystem for SMEs to fl ourish and enhance their competitiveness and over time to develop some homegrown multinational companies. The Masterplan aims to transform domestic SMEs to be globally competitive towards enhancing wealth creation and contributing to the social well-being of the nation. The Masterplan will build on existing Government support provided by the National SME Development Council (NSDC). The coordinated approach in SME development through policies by NSDC have seen encouraging results, with value added growth of SMEs continuing to expand strongly in 2010 by 8.4%, higher than the overall GDP growth of 7.2% for the economy.

First and foremost was the installation of Malaysia’s 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah who is also the Sultan of Pahang. We also saw the appointment of Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat as Malaysia’s first female new Chief of Justice following Tan Sri Richard Malanjum’s retirement. Our nation’s athletic teams came into the spotlight for their participation in the 2019 SEA Games and although they fell short of the target golds, we applause them all the same for their fighting spirit and commitment in making Malaysia proud.
