Original Page Scans RURAL SANITATION IN THE TROPICS BEING NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS IN THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO, PANAMA AND OTHER LANDS BY MALCOLM WATSON M.D., C.M., D.P.H. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LO N DO N JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, W. 1 9 1 5 1 TO SIR RONALD ROSS, K.C. B. D.P.H.. F.R.C.S., M.D., D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S. NOBEL LAUR_EArE I DEDICATE THIS BOOK NOT ONLY As A. TOKEN or PERSONAL ESTEEM AND FRIENDSHIP BUT ALSO As A TRIBUTE or PROFOUND ADMIRATION FOR HIS GENIUS AND HIS, WORK 1 About this book As of 2015, this remarkable book is exactly one hundred years old. It is written by an outstanding pioneer of malaria con- trol. Sir Malcolm Watson implemented and oversaw the first successful effort to control malaria when serving as a sanitar- ian in the then British colony of Malaya. In the first part this book, he describes those efforts. Further on, he reports on his visit to the Panama Canal Zone, where the construction of the Canal was in full swing. The conditions of the climate, exacerbated by the environmental effects of the construc- tion itself, were extremely conducive to the spread of yel- low fever and malaria, which had caused the previous French construction project to collapse. When the Americans took over, they brought in Colonel Gorgas, who had been part of the team that had identi- fied the transmission mode of yellow fever and subsequently driven the disease from Havana, Cuba. In Panama, he cre- ated a uniquely effective sanitary organization that achieved elimination of yellow fever and tight control of malaria, thus ensuring the success of the construction project. Considering that malaria is often perceived as a chal- lenge that is almost insurmountable even in our scientifi- cally advanced age, it is quite startling to read how pioneers like Watson and Gorgas managed to get the better of it, using nothing more than drainage of swamps and creeks, oiling of standing water, common sense, and meticulous follow-up. This book remains relevant 100 years on. About this edition I obtained the book from archive.org, where you can find the original page scans. The reproduction here is unaltered, except that empty pages were removed, some of the pages were freed from marks and spots, and the digital file format was changed so as to reduce file size, add navigational struc- ture, and make the text searchable.

    May 2, 2011 Latar Expressway links Templer’s Park to Ijok in Kuala Selangor The Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway, or better known as Latar Expressway, which links Templer’s Park in Gombak with the Ijok township in Kuala Selangor has entered its final stage of development. The dual-carriageway expressway will provide road users an alternative to the present Jalan Sungai Buloh-Kuala Selangor road. According to a statement from the highway concessionaire Kuala Lumpur- Kuala Selangor Expressway Berhad, the 33km road is expected to provide a smoother drive that will take 18 minutes to travel from end to end. Near completion: The Latar Expressway stretcchhes over Jalan Bukit The project will provide convenient Besar Rotan near Ijok. access and link the townships of Kuala Selangor, Assam Jawa, Ijok, Batang Berjuntai, Kota Puteri, Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong, Sungai Buloh, Kundang, Rawang and Selayang. To provide faster and easy access, particularly onto the existing Guthrie Corridor Expressway, PLUS North-South Expressway and the future West Coast Highway, there will be four interchanges — at Ijok, Puncak Alam, Kuang and Templer’s Park. Each side of the highway will also have three tolls as well as a rest and service area in Kundang. Other features on the expressway include the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), CCTVs, Variable Message Signboards (VMS), traffic control devices, all-weatther road markers and telephones for emergency calls. ITS is the use of information and communication technologies to create a safer, more efficient transportation system for road userrs.

  • Mangroves Degradation: a Local Perspective on Its Awareness
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners SPECIAL ISSUE IV (2016), Page 251 - 262 MANGROVES DEGRADATION: A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE ON ITS AWARENESS Mazni Adibah Abd Rahman1 & M.Zainora Asmawi2 1,2 Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Mangroves in Malaysia reside on the coastlines, and the largest areas of mangrove are in the Northern Sabah. Over the past decades, mangrove species have been reported to be disappearing from the globe. It is due to several natural processes that have been inserted to fill the needs of the increased population. These include illegal logging, agriculture activities and urbanisation. In this regards, awareness of the local residents about the problem of mangrove depletion is important to inhibit the problem to prolong further.Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the degree of awareness of local residents on the importance of mangroves in managing environmental quality. Consequently, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 103 respondents to examine their awareness on the subject of mangrove degradation.The respondents were selected randomly among local residents of Kuala Selangor district.It is found that only twenty percent of the total number of respondents are totallyaware of the issue and acted upon it; either taking part in the endeavours made by the government as well as those with the non-governmental bodies or practicing mangroves replanting at their backyard. Keyword: Mangroves; Local Residents; Degradation; Awareness INTRODUCTION Mangroves has been long recognized as one of an efficient tool in managing the environmental quality. Its contribution is widely accepted in the sectors linked to social, economic and physical dimensions.
