  • Fire Safety Models for High-Rise Residential Buildings in Malaysia

    Fire Safety Models for High-Rise Residential Buildings in Malaysia

    Fire Safety Models for High-Rise Residential Buildings in Malaysia By Yahya Mohamad Yatim Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot-Watt University School of the built Environment June 2009 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognize that the copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author or the University (as may be appropriate) i ABSTRACT This research investigated the effects of escape route design and specification, and time taken on evacuation process in high-rise residential buildings in Malaysia. The aim is to produce a fire safety model on how fire safety standards in high-rise residential buildings can be achieved by investigating the relationship between human behaviour and structural design, particularly escape route design and specification. In Malaysia, research on fire safety is very new, particularly research on provision of fire safety in high-rise residential buildings. The number of fire cases involved residential buildings is significantly high compared to other building types. Thus, escape routes in high-rise residential buildings should be designed and constructed to enable the occupants to evacuate the building as soon as fire has been detected. Mixed methodologies i.e. quantitative and qualitative methods were adopted in this research. There are three research methods adopted i.e. observation, simulation and questionnaire. Observations were carried out to identify any problems encountered and to develop the study models for further analysis.

  • New Proton Car out by Mid 2000 (NST 16/05/1999)

    New Proton Car out by Mid 2000 (NST 16/05/1999)

    16/05/1999 New Proton car out by mid 2000 SHAH ALAM, Sat. - Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd or Proton will unveil a new passenger car in the middle of next year, chairman Tan Sri Mohd Saleh Sulong said. Work on the car is in progress, he said at the launch of the Proton Total Research and Development facility today. Without disclosing details of the new model, Mohd Saleh was confident it would be well accepted in view of the recovery in car sales. He said the new research and development facility would play a critical role in the production of the new model. "It is estimated that the R&D activity of a new model would require capital investment of about RM1 billion. This includes 35 per cent for the purchase of jigs and dies, and 28 per cent for procurement of materials for vendors." The national car manufacturer to date has produced seven models: Saga, Iswara, Wira, Satria, Putra, Tiara and Perdana. Each has two or three variants. Providing details of Proton's sales performance in the past year and to date, Mohd Saleh, who is group chairman of the DRB-Hicom group, said there had been encouraging improvement over the period. Through distributors Edaran Otomobil Nasional Bhd and Usahasama Proton- DRB Sdn Bhd, the company sold an average 5,000 units in the early months of last year. This increased to an average 9,000 units at the end of the year. "Monthly sales increased to 13,000 units in April. In line with this, Proton's market share has increased from 64 per cent to 71 per cent." Mohd Saleh said with more relaxed credit guidelines and improved performance and quality of Proton cars, he was optimistic that sales would increase to 15,000 units per month in the later part of the year.
  • The Status and Effectiveness of IKI-7899 in Controlling

    The Status and Effectiveness of IKI-7899 in Controlling

    27 The Status and Effectiveness of lKI-7899 in Controlling Diamondback Moth in the Lowlands and Highlands of Malaysia Jung Lee Lim and Chin Kok Khoo¹ ICI Agriculture Research Centre, Bemban, Melaka, Malaysia and ¹ICI Agriculture (Ma- laysia) Sdn Berhad, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract IKI-7899 (N-2, 6-difluorobenzoyl-N'-4-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl pyridin-2-yloxy)-3, 5-dichlorphenyl urea), a novel benzoyl urea chitin inhibitor, was evaluated along with con- ventional insecticides and other insect growth regulators for the control of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L) which has developed resistance to many conventional insecticides both in lowland and highland vegetable growing areas of Malaysia. lKl-7899, formulated as WP and used at 125 to 1000 ppm, was first observed to exhibit excellent insecticidal activity against diamondback moth in 1981 on lowland cabbages. Later tests showed that the EC formulation is superior to the WP formulation. The type of formulation was probably important in the coverage of insecticide on plant surface, and cuticular pick-up and penetration, as well as gut penetration. Numerous trials on lowland and highland cabbages have consistently indicated that lKl-7899 was superior to diflubenzuron and triflumuron. Conventional insecticides fail to control the pest. The optimal rate of IKI-7899 against the diamondback moth appeared to be around 25 ppm spray at weekly or 50 ppm spray at fortnightly intervals. Six days after the fourth weekly spray, cabbage heads had less than 0.01 ppm residues at both 25 and 50 ppm spray regimes whereas kale had 0.37 and 0.78 ppm lKl-7899 residues.

The idea behind LMM is Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) system of the materials and information flow which involve both Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP II), and Just-in-Time (JIT) techniques. In addition, Total Quality Management (TQM) is integrated to ensure the quality of the processes and products of the system. The capabilities of continuously improving the processes by identifying and eliminating manufacturing wastes are essential for effectiveness of LMM. The main benefit of effective LMM is high ratio of quality to cost of the products manufactured which finally contribute to high profitable organisation.
  • Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India

    Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India

    Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kristina M. Teater M.A. Wright State University B.A. Milligan College July 2019 Committee Chair: Laura Dudley Jenkins, Ph.D. ii Abstract State-imposed restrictions on religious freedom challenge the rights of minorities. While some minorities live in authoritarian regimes, others live in countries with religious rights institutionalized in national constitutions and international human rights treaties. Despite these guarantees, minorities face restrictions on religion through laws and regulations that restrict what religion they choose and limit how they practice their faith. Thus minorities that in theory are supposed to have religious freedom also encounter religious freedom restrictions in practice. Faced with blockages that restrict their religious rights, minorities at times turn to transnational advocacy networks (TANs). Through my analysis of Christian minorities in Malaysia and India, I discover what some of these blockages are and how minorities and their transnational partners have negotiated with the state in recent legal challenges to Christians’ rights. I focus on the agency and strategies of minorities by listening to their opinions, arguments, and reasoning, as articulated through interviews, legal documents, and an original survey. In doing so, this study differs from recent scholarship that traces the structure and organization of TANs. I find that how Christian minorities use transnational advocacy networks is dependent on the political opportunities that are available to them domestically.

    J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: After-Sales Service Standards Improve Notably at Authorized Service Centres of National Makes BMW Ranks Highest in Customer Service Satisfaction in Malaysia for a Second Consecutive Year SINGAPORE: 17 August 2012 — Satisfaction with authorized service centres among new-vehicle owners of national makes has increased from 2011 due to the implementation of higher service standards at dealerships, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2012 Malaysia Customer Service Index (CSI) Study.SM The study, now in its 10 th year, measures overall customer satisfaction among vehicle owners who took their vehicle to their authorized service centre for maintenance or repair work during the first 12 to 24 months of ownership. The study evaluates new-vehicle owner satisfaction with the after-sales service experience by examining dealership performance in five factors (in order of importance): service quality; vehicle pickup; service initiation; service advisor; and service facility. Overall customer satisfaction averages 740 index points on a 1,000-point scale in 2012, an improvement of 22 points from 2011. Of the 22 service standards examined in the study, authorized service centres of national makes implement 17.7 per visit, on average, an increase from 17.1 in 2011. Service standard implementation among non- national makes remains higher, with an average of 18.4, which is unchanged from 2011. Improvements cited by owners of national makes—Malaysia-branded vehicles—include essential customer-centric activities, such as explanations of work and physical inspection of vehicle both before and after service. “Gaps in service satisfaction remain, but are narrowing between national and non-national makes in Malaysia,” said Mohit Arora, executive director at J.D.

  • Welfare Effects of Trade Barriers on Malaysian Car Industry: an Alternative Approach

    Welfare Effects of Trade Barriers on Malaysian Car Industry: an Alternative Approach

    WELFARE EFFECTS OF TRADE BARRIERS ON MALAYSIAN CAR INDUSTRY: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH Wai Kun C Lau (1718460) A Dissertation Submitted In Fulfilment Of The Requirements For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF BUSINESS & LAW SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY April 2020 i Abstract Malaysian car industry has been heavily protected by tariff and non-tariff tools since it was founded in 1983. Despite excessive tariffs imposed on foreign cars, the demand for foreign cars increases after the Asian financial crisis 1997 while the demand for domestic cars declines. Partial equilibrium framework is applied in this research because the car industry’s contribution to GDP is very small and the focus of this research is specifically on the car industry. Since cars are durable and differentiated, changes due to technological advancement may influence car demand. This research applies Discrete Choice model to account for car characteristics in addition to socio-economic factors for analysis of car demand in Malaysia. Logistic regression analysis results show factors that influence car demand are: horsepower, fuel consumption, and car size that is measured by number of passengers. Results suggest that non-tariff barriers and government incentives given to the civil servants have significant influence on Proton cars’ demand, and foreign car makers that have been operating in Malaysia before the founding of Proton enjoy their reputation from their historical experience and performance. While it is often believed that European cars have ostentatious value in Malaysia, the results show otherwise. Price elasticity of demand for major car makes is estimated based on the average horsepower, car size and fuel consumption.
