  • The Face of Malay Culture in Indonesian Children‘S Readings
    Page International Journal of Malay-Nusantara Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1, May 2018. e-ISSN 2621-2951 p-ISSN 2620-9578 26-39 THE FACE OF MALAY CULTURE IN INDONESIAN CHI/DRE1¶S READ,NGS Ratna Djumala [email protected] Universitas Indonesia ABSTRACT: Awareness of national and cultural identity has nowadays become an increasingly popular topic of conversation. As the oldest culture in Indonesia, it is not surprising that Malay cultural values have embodied all aspects of Indonesian nationhood. Such values have been inveterately introduced to the people since their early age. Different media can be utilized to make this effort, one of which is children's readings. Despite the importance of introducing Malay culture to Indonesian society, however, not many children‘s reading seemingly contains the virtues of 0alay culture. As the result, children seem to have lack of knowledge and awareness of their culture of origin. While preliminary studies show that Malay cultural values can be found in Indonesian folklores, many Indonesian children are ironically not familiar with such folklores and instead more familiar with Malaysia-made animated shows such as Upin & Ipin and Pada Zaman Dahulu. With the strong influence of Malay culture in these two shows, it is understandable that Indonesian children learn more about Malay cultures from the shows. This paper aims to describe how Indonesian children recognize and learn about Malay culture from their readings, namely Upin & Ipin and Pada Zaman Dahulu. By observing this process, it is possible to identify any possible challenges to the cultural revitalization attempt, particularly of Malay culture, in Indonesian children's readings.

  • Reconnaissance Study Of
    (a) Large Reservoir and Small Pump Capacity In most drainage areas, a pumping station is characterized by storage of flood in a large reservoir placed at the pumping station so as to minimize pump capacity, thus initial cost and operation cost. Table 3.18 includes data of pump capacity and area of reservoir attached. However, as explained in the 1973 Master Plan Study Report, if pumps are small, the reservoir may not yet empty before the next rainstorm. (b) Complicated Network of Drainage System The pump drainage areas in the DKI Jakarta have complicated network of drains with a lot of gates. Flood water is so controlled by gates to distribute optimum discharge to downstream in consideration of flow capacity of main drain, pump capacity as well as down stream water level including Sea Level. (c) Planning without Consideration of Secondary and Tertiary Drains The other characteristics of drainage system in the DKI Jakarta is that existing pump capacity and starting water level of a reservoir of a pump drainage area are so determined that highest water level or the Design Flood Level along the main drain is lower than the existing bank elevation for one day flood with 25-year return period, assuming that most of rainfall can be drained to the main drain. However, there are a lot of flood prone areas in pump drainage areas. One cause of inundation in flood prone areas may be improper installation/maintenance of secondary/tertiary drains, though gravity drain can be attained. Also high Design Flood Level of main drain may be other causes why rainwater is difficult to be drained.

Since then, both conflict and compromise have occurred among the Europeans, Malays and Chinese, as well as other regional minorities, resulting in two regional dichotomies: (1) socially, the indigenous (Malays) vs. the outsiders (Europeans, Chinese, etc.); (2) politically, the rulers (Europeans and Malay nobles) vs. those ruled (Malays, Chinese). These features have a direct impact on economic development. A retrospective survey of regional political development and demographic features are therefore needed to provide a context for the later analysis of economic development. 1. Political development The formation of Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands was far from a sudden event, but a long process starting with the decline of the Johor-Riau Sultanate in the late eighteenth century. In order to reveal the coherency of regional political transformations, the point of departure of this political survey begins much earlier than the researched period here. Political Development and Demographic Features 23 The beginning of Western penetration (pre-1824) Apart from their geographical proximity, Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands had also formed a natural and inseparable part of various early unified kingdoms in Southeast Asia.
