Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor
Malapportionment in the 2015 – 2016 Redelineation Exercises Prepared by: Penang Institute Malapportionment of Parliamentary Constituencies in Johor After 2016 Redelineation Proposal (First Display) Excessively under-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P162 Gelang Patah 112,081 176.71% 2 P159 Pasir Gudang 108,156 170.52% 3 P158 Tebrau 99,592 157.02% 4 P160 Johor Bahru 98,351 155.06% 5 P161 Pulai 95,980 151.32% 6 P163 Kulai 95,822 151.07% 5 P150 Batu Pahat 91,328 143.99% 6 P152 Kluang 88,212 139.07% Justification for excessive under-representation: None. They can have smaller electorates, if voters can be more evenly spread out across constituencies. At least one parliamentary seat should be taken from less populous areas and given to Greater Johor Bahru. Excessively over-represented parliamentary constituencies: No. Constituency Electorate As % of average 1 P143 Pagoh 36,387 57.37% 2 P142 Labis 37,569 59.23% 3 P157 Pengerang 38,338 60.44% 4 P155 Tenggara 40,670 64.12% 5 P151 Simpang Renggam 41,052 64.72% 6 P153 Sembrong 41,629 65.63% 7 P141 Sekijang 41,896 66.05% Justification for excessive over-representation: None. None of these parliamentary constituencies occupies a large landmass to qualify for over-representation as provided for by Section 2(c), the Thirteenth Schedule of the Federal Constitution. Tellingly, Mersing which has approximately twice the landmass than Pagoh has more voters than any of these. Ratio of Largest Constituency to Smallest Constituency: 3.08: 1 Changes in Malapportionment: Malapportionment is not mitigated by the redelineation proposal even though some victims of malapportionment have changed. -

Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977
Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: The Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977 Allen MCCLYMONT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Submitted June 2021 ABSTRACT The rise of communism in China began a chain of events which eventually led to the largest influx of Protestant missionaries into Malaya and Singapore in their history. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a key part of the British Government’s strategy to defeat communist insurgents was the relocation of more than 580,000 predominantly Chinese rural migrants into what became known as the ‘New Villages’. This thesis examines the response of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF), as a representative of the Protestant missionary enterprise, to an invitation from the Government to serve in the New Villages. It focuses on the period between their arrival in 1952 and 1977, when the majority of missionaries had left the country, and assesses how successful the OMF was in fulfilling its own expectation and those of the Government that invited them. It concludes that in seeking to fulfil Government expectation, residential missionaries were an influential presence, a presence which contributed to the ongoing viability of the New Villages after their establishment and beyond Independence. It challenges the portrayal of Protestant missionaries as cultural imperialists as an outdated paradigm with which to assess their role. By living in the New Villages under the same restrictions as everyone else, missionaries unconsciously became conduits of Western culture and ideas. At the same time, through learning local languages and supporting indigenous agency, they encouraged New Village inhabitants to adapt to Malaysian society, while also retaining their Chinese identity. -

Habitat fragmentation from deforestation caused wildlife diversity depletion by reducing habitat connectivity into degraded forest patches. Thus, it had become a major issue in wildlife management. The diversity of mammals in this corridor was largely unknown and had seldom been quantified. The objectives of this study are to determine the diversity and occupancy of mammals in Labis Timur Ecological Corridor (LTEC) and to determine which location in LTEC is most suitable for building a viaduct. We conducted a camera trap and wildlife sign survey at 34 locations within the LTEC. The study was carried out from 17th October 2016 to 7th January 2017. During a total of 2,503 trap nights, 24 species of terrestrial mammals were photo-captured represented by eight orders and 14 families. This included mammals such as Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica) and Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) which were listed as critically endangered and endangered species respectively, based on IUCN Red List. -
1 Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I Have Been
Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I have been unconsciously entangled in a historical process of the making of modern Buddhism. There was a Chinese temple beside my house in Penang, Malaysia. The main deity was likely a deified imperial court officer, though no historical record documented his origin. A mosque serenely resided along the main street approximately 50 meters from my house. At the end of the street was a Hindu temple decorated with colorful statues. Less than five minutes’ walk from my house was a Buddhist association in a two-storey terrace. During my childhood, the Chinese temple was a playground. My friends and I respected the deities worshipped there but sometimes innocently stole sweets and fruits donated by worshippers as offerings. Each year, three major religious events were organized by the temple committee: the end of the first lunar month marked the spring celebration of a deity in the temple; the seventh lunar month was the Hungry Ghost Festival; and the eighth month honored, She Fu Da Ren, the temple deity’s birthday. The temple was busy throughout the year. Neighbors gathered there to chat about national politics and local gossip. The traditional Chinese temple was thus deeply rooted in the community. In terms of religious intimacy with different nearby temples, the Chinese temple ranked first, followed by the Hindu temple and finally, the mosque, which had a psychological distant demarcated by racial boundaries. I accompanied my mother several times to the Hindu temple. Once, I asked her why she prayed to a Hindu deity.
