STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were prepared, the Directors took reasonable steps : (a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and (b) to ensure that any current assets, which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including the values of current assets as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company had been written down to an amount which the current assets might be expected so to realise. At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances: (a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or (b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading; or FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL (c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate. No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve (12) months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the Group or the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

Several ongoing works are currently being conducted especially in the aspects of system technical performances including the rail bracket component and the sensitivity analyses on the various rail designs. Furthermore, the lightning surge study on railway electrification is significant due to the fact that only a handful of publications are available in this regard, especially on the fourth rail transit. For this reason, this paper presents a study on the electrical performance of a fourth rail Direct Current (DC) urban transit affected by an indirect lightning strike. The indirect lightning strike was modelled by means of the Rusck model and the sum of two Heidler functions. The simulations were carried out using the EMTP-RV software which included the performance comparison of polymer-insulated rail brackets, namely the Cast Epoxy (CE), the Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Citation: Abd Rahman, F.A.; Ab Kadir, M.Z.A.; Ungku Amirulddin, A (CEA), and the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) together with the station arresters when subjected U.A.; Osman, M.

    Appendix E Social Survey Methodology And Findings Projek Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2: Sg Buloh – Serdang – Putrajaya Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment APPENDIX E : SOCIAL SURVEY METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS 1.0 INTRODUCTION This appendix documents the methodology and the findings of the public perception survey and the various stakeholder engagement sessions carried out over the course of the DEIA. 1.1 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Multiple approaches were used to collect data for analysis. It combines a variety of tools that range from use of secondary data for socioeconomic profiling to the use of primary data collection using a perception survey and face-to-face encounters such as focus group discussions (FGDs), case interviews, and public dialogues. 1.1.1 Secondary Data from Population and Housing Census 2010 A 400-metre corridor is identified from each side of the entire alignment. It serves as a broad impact zone based on the planning principle that an acceptable walking distance from a transit point is approximately 400 metres. Secondary data was sourced from the Department of Statistics [DOS] (GIS unit) to obtain the socio-economic profile in the impact zone from the Population and Housing Census 2010. The information was extracted from the Census enumeration blocks. To facilitate data extraction from the enumeration blocks, the impact zone was subdivided into four major corridors as follows: 1. Northern segment - from Damansara Damai to Jalan Ipoh; 2. Underground segment - from Jalan Ipoh to TRX and Bandar Malaysia 3. Southern elevated segment 1 – Bandar Malaysia to UPM 4. Southern elevated segment 2 - from UPM to Putrajaya The corridors were also used as basis for the delineation of the initial zones for the perception survey.

  • Kuala Lumpur
    Kuala Lumpur City Attractions MALAYSIA TOURISM CENTER (MTC) The Malaysia Tourism Center (MTC) is located within a building in Kuala Lumpur, which is both an architectural and historical landmark. Built in 1935, the main building served as the residence of a wealthy mining and rubber estate tycoon, Eu Tong Seng. Its architecture is typically colonial reflecting the era during which it was built. KL TOWER Menara Kuala Lumpur stands majestically a top of Bukit Nanas at 421 meters and 515 meters above sea level, is considered a main feature of the city skyline one and perhaps most enduring images a visitor to KL will encounter. As 5th tallest telecommunications tower, either at an observation deck or from the revolving restaurant, you can manage to get a bird's eye view of the city. JALAN P. RAMLEE ((CLUBBINGCLUBBING AREA) When it comes to nightlife, Jalan P. Ramlee is considered one of the city's hottest venues. Unlike neighbours in the Bukit Bintang area such as Changkat Bukit Bintang, Jalan P. Ramlee has a wackier and more eccentric character. Lively and vibrant after dark, this street is busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, with throngs of party-goers club-hopping from one establishment to another. AQUARIA KLCC Aquaria KLCC are a relatively new addition to Kuala Lumpur's list of tourist attractions. It is located right in the heart of the city at the KL Convention Centre which is a mere 10 minutes walk from Petronas Twin Towers. Getting there is simple as it is accessible by LRT, bus and other modes transportation around KL.

    LAND ACQUISITION AT STRATA AND STRATUM SCHEME IN MALAYSIA Liat Choon Tan (1), Siow Wei Jaw (1,2), Siti Aishah Abd Latif (1), Azam Bazli Zulkiflee (1) 1 Department of Geoinformation, Faculty of Built Environment & Surveying, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 2 Geoscience & Digital Earth Centre (INSTeG), Research Institute for Sustainable Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Acquisition of land is the process where the government acquires private land for essential public purpose or for any purposes that the State Authorities thinks that it is beneficial for Malaysia’s economic development. For example, acquisition of land for building school, hospital, residential and public infrastructure, such as mass rapid transit (MRT), roads, etc. Land Acquisition Act 1960 (Act 486) is the legislation that enables the government to acquire private land. The landowner whose land is taken is compensated based on market value under this act. Occasionally, private land is acquired by Malaysia Government for a public project that serves as the catalyst for the economic development. Klang Valley in Malaysia has experienced large-scale land acquisitions spearheaded by the mass rapid transit project that started by the year 2011. The massive land acquisition takes place for the realization of the construction works for this MRT project, which expected to be one of the solutions to reduce the traffic congestion. This paper highlights the procedures and implementation of land acquisition on strata and stratum scheme as mentioned in the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act 2016 and the related guidelines.
