    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 15 VOLUME 1 (2017), 369 - 376 YOUNG PROFESSIONALS’ HOUSING AFFORDABILITY THROUGH HOUSING PREFERENCES IN KUALA LUMPUR AND A REVIEW ON THE MEANS-END CHAIN MODEL Nor Suzylah Sohaimi1, Alias Abdullah2, Syafiee Shuid3, & Azila Ahmad Sarkawi4 1,2,3,4 Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract In a broad-spectrum, housing affordability issue is interrelated to young professional's well-being. However, this paper deliberated on young professional's housing preference in affordability context by taking into account some attributes of housing preference criteria. Data was obtained through questionnaire survey among 50 respondents aged between 25 and 35 years old and working in various professional fields in Kuala Lumpur. Descriptive analyses were then undertaken on the data from the survey. The study found that security criterion is the highest priority in housing preferences among the respondents. Having Wi-Fi is the second most important criterion. Additionally, this paper also provides a conceptual review on the Means-End Chain model.

It also plays important role in the design of psychological significance and economic well-being and individual wealth (Bourne, 1981). Due to this reason, a house has evolved from a mere shelter to a preference.

    Instituting Collaborative Governance: Accidental Or Designed?

    Instituting Collaborative Governance: Accidental or Designed? Abdillah Noh Tun Abdul Razak School of Government, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, Malaysia Nadia Hezlin Yashaiya University of Western Australia, Australia This article describes Malaysia’s experience in collaborative governance. In making its case, the article will trace the role of Malaysia’s performance, management and delivery unit (PEMANDU) in providing preconditions to collaborative governance. It will examine PEMANDU’s various initiatives in bringing about economic and government transformation that has ultimately laid down, albeit nascent, institutionalization of collaborative governance. The paper concludes that Malaysia’s collaborative governance endeavor is an unintended consequence of Malaysia’s Economic Transformation and Government Transformation programmes. It argues that collaborative governance in Malaysia is still at an early stage primarily because the articulation of collaborative governance is nested within Malaysia’s larger policy concerns and a function of regime legitimacy. Background Since the year 2009, the Malaysian government has been embarking on ambitious government and transformation programmes. These programmes are, in part, responses to the ruling political party’s – the Barisan Nasional(BN) - waning popularity after it suffered heavy defeat at the 2008 general election, one in which the opposition parties took control of 5 states and increased their parliamentary seats from 22 to 82 seats. Among the first policy initiatives that the newly appointed Prime Minister Najib Razak introduced was the New Economic Model (NEM), whose objective is to promote inclusive growth which would allow Malaysia to join the ranks of world’s high-income economies. The introduction of the NEM was quickly followed by other initiatives to revamp the bureaucracy and the economy which came in the form of the government transformation programme (GTP) and the economic transformation programme (ETP) that, collectively, was termed the National Transformation Programme (NTP).

    DPM: Dong Zong's sidelining claim 'a big lie' MalaysiaKini.com April 12, 2012 Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today labelled the teacher shortage issue raised by Chinese education rights group Dong Zong as a "big lie". NONEHe also condemned as "uncivilised" the action of throwing things at his deputy minister Wee Ka Siong during a protest rally organised by Dong Zong last month at Kajang. According to the national news agency, Bernama, Muhyiddin, told some 500 teachers from vernacular schools during a meeting today at Shah Alam, that the issue is not exclusive to Chinese schools. He said national schools are also facing the problem of insufficient English language teachers. "It is not that the ministry allows the teacher shortage problem to continue, but because it takes time to fill the vacancies left by retired teachers," he was quoted as saying. Annually there are some 20,000 teachers who become pregnant which also contributes to the problem, he explained. All schools enjoy same standard Muhyiddin (below) also argued that out of the 1,700 vacancies in Chinese schools, more than 1,400 have been filled with temporary teachers. NONEHence ,he said, those who accuse the government of marginalising Chinese and Tamil schools are being most irresponsible. He stressed that vernacular schools are part of the national education system, and have achieved the same quality as national schools. "We have never given different treatment just because it is Chinese or Mandarin school, it is the perception of certain quarters ,including the opposition... "There are people who want to confuse us because the general election is near," he said.

  • Israel-Iran Short-Term Potential for Conflict

    Israel-Iran Short-Term Potential for Conflict

    Executive Summary Monday, August 27, 2012 SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Israel-Iran Short-Term Potential for Conflict EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Despite comments by some Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that the window for attacking Iran’s nuclear program is closing, it is unlikely that Israel will conduct a unilateral attack in the short-term. Any attack would strain Israeli military capabilities to the limit, invite costly counterstrikes from Iran and/or its proxies, worsen global economic conditions (impair oil transshipments, Middle East instability, etc.), and severely damage the Israeli economy which, to-date, has been a success story for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Political Considerations Prime Minister Netanyahu’s comments indicating that Israel will take unilateral action and not rely on allies is assessed as an effort to force President Obama’s hand in supporting future Israeli action or, optimally, pressuring the U.S. to take the lead in military action against Iranian nuclear facilities o Based on the perception that President Obama is vulnerable during the pre-election period on support-to-Israel issues with some voters Much of the Israeli government (including President Shimon Peres), leaders of the Israeli Defense Forces, and the Israeli public are not in support of an attack (61% oppose without U.S. support)i U.S. support, or acquiescence, does not seem to be in place as evidenced by recent trips to Israel by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, both of whom urged restraint

    MILITARY STUDIES AND ANALYSIS INSTITUTE | M.S.A.I. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 0 Iranian radars Radar (stands for Radio Detection and Ranging) has been the main factor in detecting and identifying air threats in the air defenses of world armies during the decades following World War II. Designing, manufacturing, deploying, maintaining and upgrading radars requires high knowledge and skills in various fields of science including telecommunications, electronics, software, mechanics and manufacturing. Iran's rapid progress in designing and manufacturing a variety of radars required demonstrates the creation and application of appropriate scientific and technical capability in this field. These radars range from small, lightweight, man portable ground surveillance, and very large ones with a range of several thousand kilometers, samples capable of tracking ballistic missiles and even low-orbit satellites. The range of domestic production radars is very wide, but in this report, we will present some examples of Iranian-made radars. Melli radar The first domestic radar designed and built in Iran is the Melli radar (meaning “National”), whose project was defined with the goal of achieving digital radar and domestic radar. For this purpose, a sample of foreign radar with optimum operational performance was considered as a base line. The reverse engineering is a common practice in developing countries for technology acquisition and product development due to the lack of any background design in the country. MILITARY STUDIES AND ANALYSIS INSTITUTE | M.S.A.I. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1 This effort eventually led to the development of a national radar with a range of 450 kilometers in 1998, which was totally completed by the Iranian engineers.

    Contested Nationalisms and Propaganda: Birth Pangs of a Malaysian Nation, 1957-1969 By Cheong Soon Gan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter Zinoman (Chair) Professor Jeffrey Hadler Professor Andrew Barshay Fall 2012 Contested Nationalisms and Propaganda: Birth Pangs of a Malaysian Nation, 1957-1969 Copyright 2012 by Cheong Soon Gan Abstract Contested Nationalisms and Propaganda: Birth Pangs of a Malaysian Nation, 1957-1969 by Cheong Soon Gan Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter Zinoman, Chair This dissertation looks at how the newly independent Malaysian state used propaganda as one of the tools in forging a new nationalism and specific values of citizenship in the face of enduring ethnic cleavages and contesting visions of nationhood. I look at the period from independence in 1957 to the race riots in 1969 that claimed nearly 200 lives and plunged the country into a state of Emergency for a year. As Malaya achieved independence, the contest between competing visions of the nation that began after World War II not only remained unresolved but also continued to intensify during the 1960s. One vision constructed a nation based on the primacy of the indigenous ethnic group, the Malays, while non-Malays advanced a vision that emphasized the equality of all ethnic groups in the nation. The former became the basis of the official nationalism of independent Malaya/Malaysia, but the ruling coalition tried to blunt opposition to it by co-opting elements of the latter without resolving fully the tensions between these diametrically opposed ideas.
