However, the development of green spaces within school compound is not a priority in Malaysian schools. This paper aims to explore the issues related to the provision of green spaces in Malaysian national primary schools. There are various green spaces that can be provided in school setting such as field, pocket spaces, soft and hard play areas, and animal life, which serves different purposes for children’s activities. Though, the limited budget and the lack of knowledge and design guidelines are among the obstacles encountered by Malaysian schools in developing functional green spaces that provide learning opportunities for children. A greater effort is needed in helping the schools developing their green spaces in terms of funding, expert knowledge and community support. Keywords: green spaces, learning environment, school grounds greening, sustainable schools, children’s development 1Senior Lecturer at Universiti Sains Malaysia. Email: [email protected] 1 Nor Fadzila Aziz & Ismail Said Provision of Green Spaces in Malaysian Primary Schools: Issues, Guidelines and Recommendation INTRODUCTION In 2016, there were 7,772 primary schools under the MOE (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2016b). The number has increased as there were only 7,696 primary schools in 2011 (Ministry of Education, 2013b). Apart from the MOE primary schools, in 2016, there were also 126 primary schools under private institutions and 74 primary schools under other government agencies (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2016a). The number of schools is expected to increase in the next ten years as the ministry has planned to build more schools and classrooms to accommodate the increasing number of students (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2012b). The statistics suggest that the Malaysian government is committed in providing the primary education infrastructure in line with the policy of compulsory education at the primary level (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2012a). The policy is in accordance with the right of all children to a primary education as stated in Article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

A taxonomic revision of Araceae tribe Potheae (Pothos, Pothoidium and Pedicellarum) for Malesia, Australia and the tropical Western Pacific. Telopea 9(3): 449–571. A regional revision of the three genera comprising tribe Potheae (Araceae: Pothoideae) is presented, largely as a precursor to the account for Flora Malesiana; 46 species are recognized (Pothos 44, Pothoidium 1, Pedicellarum 1) of which three Pothos (P. laurifolius, P. oliganthus and P. volans) are newly described, one (P. longus) is treated as insufficiently known and two (P. sanderianus, P. nitens) are treated as doubtful. Pothos latifolius L. is excluded from Araceae [= Piper sp.]. The following new synonymies are proposed: Pothos longipedunculatus Ridl. non Engl. = P. brevivaginatus; P. acuminatissimus = P. dolichophyllus; P. borneensis = P. insignis; P. scandens var. javanicus, P. macrophyllus and P. vrieseanus = P. junghuhnii; P. rumphii = P. tener; P. lorispathus = P. leptostachyus; P. kinabaluensis = P. longivaginatus; P. merrillii and P. ovatifolius var. simalurensis = P. ovatifolius; P. sumatranus, P. korthalsianus, P. inaequalis and P. jacobsonii = P. oxyphyllus. Relationships within Pothos and the taxonomic robustness of the satellite genera are discussed. Keys to the genera and species of Potheae and the subgenera and supergroups of Pothos for the region are provided.

  • Pulau Pinang Bandar Percetakan a W Al Negara
    PULAU PINANG BANDAR PERCETAKAN A W AL NEGARA OLEH DR. JELANI HARUN ( PUSAT PENGAJIAN ILMU KEMANUSIAAN ) PENGENALAN Dalam sejarah percetakan negara, Pulau Pinang mempunyai temp at yang terseridiri dan istimewa, sekurang-kurangnya sehingga Perang Dunia Kedua (1942). Pulau Pinang bukan sahaja mer)lp~kan antara temp at terawal pengenalan me sen cetak di Tanah Melayu, malah menjadi pusat perkembangan institusi percetakan di Tanah Melayu, jauh mengatasi kemajuan institusi percetakan di negeri-negeri lain. Sehingga akhir Perang Dunia Kedua tidak kurang daripada 20 buah syarik~t percetakan telah wujud dan beroperasi di Pulau Pinang. Jumlah ini tidak termasuk syarikat percetakan yang terdapat . di Seberang Perai. Daripada syarikat percetakan itu telah lahir berpuluh-puluh judul akhbar, majalah dan buku'yang beredar dalam pasaran di seluruh Tanah Melayu. Dalam masa yang sama, syarikat-syarikat percetakan tersebut turut menjadi tempat sebahagian besar daripada para pengarang Melayu bemaung dan mengasah bakat dalam bidang penerbitan dan penulisan. Menurut catatan Byrd (1991: 4-6), sejarah penggunaan mesin cetak bermula di Pulau Pinang pada 1 Mac 1806 menerusi penerbitan akhbar mingguan The Government Gazette oleh A.B. Bone. Selepas A.B. Bone meninggal dunia pada tahun 1815, syarikat percetakannya telah diambilalih oleh B.C. Henderson dan William Cox sehingga tahun 1827. Tempoh masa antara 1806-1827 tersebut merupakan suatu tahap penting dalam sejarah bahasa dan sastera Melayu di Pulau Pinang dalam mana buat julung-julung kalinya teknologi percetakan batu telah memainkan peranan dalam penyebaran bahan bacaan kepada masyarakat. Mulai 22 Ogos 1827, percetakan The Government Gazette telah bertukar kepada The Penang Register di bawah kelolaan Norman Macalister McIntyre.

(2020). Volunsharing of Lenggong Valley world heritage site: A content analysis. Journal of Tourism, Hospitality & Culinary Arts, 12(1), 329-346. Abstract UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS) has the ability to attract diverse domestic and international tourists’ visitation. Malaysia being blessed with four WHSs unfortunately faces a decline in tourist arrivals in one of them, which is the Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley (AHLV). In combating the issue, a volunsharing program was proposed by the authority, nonetheless it was yet to be materialised. Volunsharing is where volunteers share their holiday experiences at tourism destinations through social media by using word-of-picture. This study aims to investigate the effect of volunsharing through Instagram content analysis via #lenggong. It examines post frequencies, comment slant, total engagement values and exploring emerging themes for captions frequently used in Instagram tourism-related post. Deductive content analysis and thematic analysis are used as the study’s methodology, based on Framing Theory and word-of-picture (WOP) dimensions.

  • Architectural Styles of Malaysian Mosque: Suitability in Compact Urban Settings
    MATEC Web of Conferences 266, 06001 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/2019 26606001 IConBEE2018 Architectural Styles of Malaysian Mosque: Suitability In Compact Urban Settings Nayeem Asif1,*, Nangkula Utaberta1 and Arman Sarram1 1Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract. The concept of urban mosque stems from more extensive reasons that mostly come from the overall issues of industrialization. Considering the challenges related to rapid urban growth, public institutions, such as mosque and its compatibility is required to be assessed in the context of compact cities. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the planning and layout of six different styles of mosque in Malaysia regarding their suitability in compact urban settings. Due to its genre, the study adopts a case study as a qualitative research strategy as its research method. Content analysis is conducted on the compiled literature to indicate the expected outcome. Following a brief comparative discussion, this paper shows that mosque with modern architectural style among all six typologies is most suitable in the context of compact urban settings. Factors considered for the evaluation of mosques include layout progression of the mosque whether horizontal or vertical, provision for vertical stacking of spaces, symmetry in topology as well as in elevation and space types regarding flexible usage. The scope of this paper is limited to the assessment of literature only, which opens the window for a further in-depth study of actual case studies related to this topic. 1 Introduction solving social problems and develop a more integrated community[5] Mosque acts as the most significant institution for the Modern society issues are varied and complex; urban Muslims as a nucleus of a globally united community.
