This was supported by overall positive sentiments such as the government RM200 billion five-year development activities, high commodity prices and pro business measures. However, the local market took a hefty dip towards mid-August and on 17 August 2007 posting a low of 1,191.6 points (down 14% or 200.6 points from the recent high) due to global credit market uncertainty. Fortunately, the local market recovery was speedy upon strong local fundamentals and the U.S. Federal Reserve unexpectedly cutting the US discount rate on 20 August 2007. Overall, the performance of overseas markets still factor as a sensitive concern on local trade. One of the main reasons for this is the underlying concern of losses from the US sub-prime mortgage market loans. The Malaysian market over the longer term has support from positive factors such as the government seeing to rolling out projects under the Ninth Malaysia Plan under an expansionary fiscal budget, spreading economic development throughout the country via the Iskandar Development Region – the new main southern development corridor in Johor and the Northern Corridor Economic Region for socio-economic and industrial development in Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang.

  • Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-Border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia Nuurrianti Jalli* and Yearry Panji Setianto** Previous studies on transnational media have emphasized transnational media organizations and tended to ignore the role of cross-border content, especially in a non-Western context. This study aims to fill theoretical gaps within this scholarship by providing an analysis of the Southeast Asian media sphere, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia in a historical context—transnational media flow before 2010. The two neighboring nations of Indonesia and Malaysia have many things in common, from culture to language and religion. This study not only explores similarities in the reception and appropriation of transnational content in both countries but also investigates why, to some extent, each had a different attitude toward content pro- duced by the other. It also looks at how governments in these two nations control the flow of transnational media content. Focusing on broadcast media, the study finds that cross-border media flow between Indonesia and Malaysia was made pos- sible primarily in two ways: (1) illicit or unintended media exchange, and (2) legal and intended media exchange. Illicit media exchange was enabled through the use of satellite dishes and antennae near state borders, as well as piracy. Legal and intended media exchange was enabled through state collaboration and the purchase of media rights; both governments also utilized several bodies of laws to assist in controlling transnational media content. Based on our analysis, there is a path of transnational media exchange between these two countries.

  • The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era

In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

    Case Study ASTRO RADIO: VIRTUAL CONSOLE TECHNOLOGY MALAYSIA’S LARGEST BROADCASTER REINVENTS RADIO STUDIOS WITH LAWO VIRTUAL MIXING Case Study VIRTUAL MIXING AT ASTRO RADIO “A RADICAL RE-IMAGINING OF WHAT AN ON-AIR STUDIO COULD LOOK LIKE.” Astro Radio, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, has become one of Southeast Asia‘s most influential broadcasters since their inception in 1996. With 11 radio formats in multiple languages, including the popular Era, Sinar, Gegar, My, Hitz and other channels, Astro Radio reaches over 15.8 million listeners every week in Malaysia alone. Astro began operations in 1996 and immediately became known for their technological excellence, employing a cutting-edge audio routing system and digital broadcast consoles custom manufactured to meet their technical requirements. But by 2006, Astro needed more capabilities and simpler studio workflows, so that on-air talent could focus on content creation rather than technical duties. “Around 2015, we picked up on the touchscreen trend,” says Bala Murali Subramaney, Astro Radio’s Chief Technology Officer. “We envisioned a full-blown radio broadcast console - on a touchscreen. Not a ‘lite’ console with only some console features nor a touchscreen with a console ‘simulation’.” Astro Radio Broadcast Center, Kuala Lumpur The virtual console Astro engineers envisioned would be a true radio broadcast console, with all the features and functionalities of the professional broadcast consoles they relied on. “We took the best features of our first console, analyzed common operator mistakes and asked for improvement suggestions, then we condensed this data into a comprehensive document and presented it as our mandate to Lawo – whose response was the Zirkon-2s modular broadcast console,” says Bala.
