Television, mobile phones, broadband and radio are among the most prominent of the many services that depend on the wireless space to operate. The wireless spectrum, like any of a nation’s resources is finite in its capacity. The efficient allocation and use of the spectrum are thus imperativeI for any nation. This is especially important as the economic impact of wireless services is great in these times of technology and knowledge that we live in. Our cover story in this issue examines the importance of the wireless spectrum. The article is both timely and enlightening and I am certain that it will benefit the readers. The related issue of spectrum cost vs network cost which is covered in another article in this issue adds more information on this subject. This issue also examines, in two different articles, the impact and the history of online social networks. These articles are interesting reads on a major trend that is shaping the lives of people today. This edition also features informative articles on the challenges facing satellite operators, an overview of the projects that have received funding under our Networked Content Development Grant (NCDG) programme, a report on the ongoing Ubiquitous Library Project which aims to set up an ecosystem that will bring the nation’s knowledge resources within easy reach of all citizens and an interesting feature story of how physically challenged people as well as people living in rural areas are being introduced to the Internet through SKMM’s USP projects. There are also two technical essays in this issue. The first presents the results of a study on the use of High Frequency (HF) adaptive radio technology in this country. HF adaptive radio is valuable during times of emergencies and disasters and this study adds important data to its use in this part of the world. The other article takes on the subject of radio frequency radiation. Features on the Network Security Centre portal, DAB-DRM-HD Digital radio and the Malaysian broadband experience round off this issue’s varied mix of articles. I trust you will enjoy reading this edition of the magazine.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Pulau Pinang Bandar Percetakan a W Al Negara
    PULAU PINANG BANDAR PERCETAKAN A W AL NEGARA OLEH DR. JELANI HARUN ( PUSAT PENGAJIAN ILMU KEMANUSIAAN ) PENGENALAN Dalam sejarah percetakan negara, Pulau Pinang mempunyai temp at yang terseridiri dan istimewa, sekurang-kurangnya sehingga Perang Dunia Kedua (1942). Pulau Pinang bukan sahaja mer)lp~kan antara temp at terawal pengenalan me sen cetak di Tanah Melayu, malah menjadi pusat perkembangan institusi percetakan di Tanah Melayu, jauh mengatasi kemajuan institusi percetakan di negeri-negeri lain. Sehingga akhir Perang Dunia Kedua tidak kurang daripada 20 buah syarik~t percetakan telah wujud dan beroperasi di Pulau Pinang. Jumlah ini tidak termasuk syarikat percetakan yang terdapat . di Seberang Perai. Daripada syarikat percetakan itu telah lahir berpuluh-puluh judul akhbar, majalah dan buku'yang beredar dalam pasaran di seluruh Tanah Melayu. Dalam masa yang sama, syarikat-syarikat percetakan tersebut turut menjadi tempat sebahagian besar daripada para pengarang Melayu bemaung dan mengasah bakat dalam bidang penerbitan dan penulisan. Menurut catatan Byrd (1991: 4-6), sejarah penggunaan mesin cetak bermula di Pulau Pinang pada 1 Mac 1806 menerusi penerbitan akhbar mingguan The Government Gazette oleh A.B. Bone. Selepas A.B. Bone meninggal dunia pada tahun 1815, syarikat percetakannya telah diambilalih oleh B.C. Henderson dan William Cox sehingga tahun 1827. Tempoh masa antara 1806-1827 tersebut merupakan suatu tahap penting dalam sejarah bahasa dan sastera Melayu di Pulau Pinang dalam mana buat julung-julung kalinya teknologi percetakan batu telah memainkan peranan dalam penyebaran bahan bacaan kepada masyarakat. Mulai 22 Ogos 1827, percetakan The Government Gazette telah bertukar kepada The Penang Register di bawah kelolaan Norman Macalister McIntyre.

    MATEC Web of Conferences 266, 06001 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/2019 26606001 IConBEE2018 Architectural Styles of Malaysian Mosque: Suitability In Compact Urban Settings Nayeem Asif1,*, Nangkula Utaberta1 and Arman Sarram1 1Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract. The concept of urban mosque stems from more extensive reasons that mostly come from the overall issues of industrialization. Considering the challenges related to rapid urban growth, public institutions, such as mosque and its compatibility is required to be assessed in the context of compact cities. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the planning and layout of six different styles of mosque in Malaysia regarding their suitability in compact urban settings. Due to its genre, the study adopts a case study as a qualitative research strategy as its research method. Content analysis is conducted on the compiled literature to indicate the expected outcome. Following a brief comparative discussion, this paper shows that mosque with modern architectural style among all six typologies is most suitable in the context of compact urban settings. Factors considered for the evaluation of mosques include layout progression of the mosque whether horizontal or vertical, provision for vertical stacking of spaces, symmetry in topology as well as in elevation and space types regarding flexible usage. The scope of this paper is limited to the assessment of literature only, which opens the window for a further in-depth study of actual case studies related to this topic. 1 Introduction solving social problems and develop a more integrated community[5] Mosque acts as the most significant institution for the Modern society issues are varied and complex; urban Muslims as a nucleus of a globally united community.
