The massive influx of young single Malay women from the traditional rural sector into the modern urban-indutrial sector is a recent but very significant feature of the Ma1aysin scene today. Before 1970 it was very uncommon to hear of autonomous migration of single Malay females or to see Malay girls working in modern factories. After 1970 the nuither of Malay village girls working as factory workers in urbanised areas ir creased by the thousands. The massive influx of single girls into factory areas and the surrounding reidential communities has become a major issue of concern arid debate in Malaysian society. Among other things, the sudden presence of thousandr of single, yung village women ir. the cities is unexpected and till q ite unaccepted by several groups of the urban society. ThL. suspcion aid hostility have been rationaised on the basis of several ma:s-media reports of factory girls' involvement in activities which 'ere cntrary to traditional norms and beliefs. Despite the widespread concern abot this exodw of single females into factory employment, there was a jitual absence of wide-ranging studies or up-to- date statistics on fctory girls in Malr'ysia. This paradoxical situation of widespread publicity on the one hand and relative absence of studies on the other has influene& the writer tu conduct an exploratory study on 1,294 migrant Malay factory girls in Peninsualr Malaysia during the period 1977-1980. This study has two mrjor objectives: First: to explore the causes explaining the rural..urban migration of single Malay girls to the urban-industrial centres of Peninsular Malaysia and second to trace the adaptation process ot these iigrant workers. Material for this study has been ultained by empirical research on 1,294 migrant factory girib, and 2,000 rural villagers and 3 urban communities comprising interviews with cver 200 residents in Peninsular Malaysia. The major methods of investigation were questionnaire- iv interviewing, participant observation and through informai visits to factory girls' homes. The findings of this r-search sugget the following conci usions: FIRST: The int'rplay etween export-oriented industrialization in Malays'a and the imp2mentation of the New Economic policy as regards the quota for Malay workers has resulted in ¿t sudden expansion in employment opportunities for the young and single Malay women. Complementarily in the l970's, the sitution of limited job.-opportunities in the other sector's for the relatively-eductted Malay women had acted as an important factor which compelL'd Malay girls to enter into factory employment. SECOND: Since the majority of export-oriented industrial factories wbch employ the majrity of women workers are located in the urban areas and the majority of Malay women are residents of rural areas, the selective pull factors for Malay female orkers has r'suited in the rural- urban exodus of Malay village girls to tie urban-base factories. THLD: It is highly probable that this massive influx of female rural-urban migratios will result in the emergeitce of a new grou of working cI.aea Malays in the cities, namely the Malay female factc.iy wcrker This is a valid hypo'heses becase many f these migrart factory workerE have indicated their intention to continue working as factory workers and to settle in the cit.es. FOURTH: The unsuccessful assimilation of migrant factory girls into the urban communities and ihe absorption of these girls into the factory cultural system have led to the formation of close friendship groups and social networks among factory girls. These factors have paved the way towards the formation of a distinct subculture of factory girls. FIFTH: The continuai encapsulation of factory girls into their own groups and the continuing patteri of' Malay factory girls' marrying Malay men from the same occupational stratum have provided the hypothesis that a group of industrial working class Malaya will emerge in the urL 'n areas. This hypothesis is supported by tindings which :ndicate that man, factory giras continue to work as factory employees after they are married and have become the mothrs uf a new breen of urban-based Malays.

II L o 1 ThTICDIJOTICN Thii study has wo mur ains: First: to emplore the factrs tor village girls' migration to urban- based factories in Penissiilar MaLaysia. Second: to trace the idaptation procr's and adaptiif e trateis of these female migrants t work and life n the urban envinment. Foc's of Interest Int'-'rest is focused on four areas. Fi'tJy, on the background reasons fo the comirg of :.ndustrial maltínationai-:)ned companies t Malsia and the establishxnent of export-oriented indutrializatin in ?'alaysia. Secondly, on the sudden expancion in employment opportunities for women workers in the manufacturing seor oI the Malaysian economy and its relationship with export-orientd industrialization. Thirdly, on the connection between tht increasing participation ai' Malay women in the m.nufaeturin sectcrn' labour force, and the exodur of Malay women's mig'ation from the rural to the urban areas. Fourthly, on the 1on-term implicatiors of Malay female labour migration to urban-based facto:ies for Maay society in particular and Malaysian society in general. Conceptual Orientation Three conceptual orientations guide the study. The first ha to do with the push-pull model of migrations the second with th 'world-systems' perspective1 and the third with the 'open-systems' theory.2 Specifically the causes foc villnge girls' migration to urban-based factories are analysed maii1y in macri-leve1 terms, namely the 'pali' fac'ors of industrial development in the urbanised areas and the 'push' factors existing in the sending vllhzes. Secondly, the factors for the sudden expansion in employment opportunities for the single, young women (mainly Malay) in th export-oriented industries in Malaysia are analysed 2 ir relation to the nexus oi the internationalisation of capital and the establishment of the world-assembly factory system.

  • On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum M. W. F. TWEEDIE
    Reprint from Bulletin of the Raffles Museum, Singapore, Straits Settlements, No. IS, August 1937 On the Crabs of the family Ocypodidae in the collection of the Raffles Museum hy M. W. F. TWEEDIE M. W. F. TWEEDIE On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum By M. W. F. TwEEDiE, M.A. The material described in this paper has been collected for the most part during the last four years, mainly in mangrove swamps around Singapore Island and at a few localities on the east and west coasts of the Malay Peninsula. The greater part of the paper and most of the figures were prepared at the British Museum (Natural History) during August and September, 1936, and my grateful acknowledgments are due to the Director for permission to work there and for facilities provided, and particularly to Dr. Isabella Gordon for her unfailing help and encouragement. I wish also to express my thanks to the Directorates of the Zoological Museums at Leiden and Amsterdam for permission to examine types, and for the helpfulness and courtesy with which I was received by the members of the staffs of these museums. Finally acknowledgments are due to Prof. Dr. H. Balss, Dr. B. N. Chopra and Dr. C. J. Shen for their kindness in comparing specimens with types and authentic specimens in their respective institutions. The mode adopted for collecting the material may be of interest to collectors of Crustacea, and possibly other invertebrate groups, in the tropics. It was found that if crabs, especially Grapsidse and Ocypodidse, are put straight into alcohol, they tend to die slowly and in their struggles to shed their limbs and damage each other, so that often less than 10% of the collection survive as perfect specimens.

During that time, it was noted for its air force surveillance centre which protected the area from Port Swettenham or previously known as Port Klang to Port Dickson. It also acted as a military logistics that planned and carried out the movement, supply, and maintenance of military forces to sustenance Morib area. Currently, this historical structure and its remains have no longer exist. The area has now been transformed to a palm oil plantation. As time goes by, this airfield has been forgotten and invisible to our young generation. In addition to that, there are lack of literature and studies about the history and its roles during and after World War II.

  • Annual Report 2011
    SIME DARBY BERHAD ● ANNUAL REPORT 2011 THE GLOBAL HORIZON The seeds of Malaysia’s largest multinational were planted in a colonial outpost in Malacca at a time when Malaysia did not exist and rubber was the plant of choice. The year was 1910 and the hopeful planters were a Scotsman and an English aristocrat. Sime Darby’s founding fathers would have had no inkling of just how far their little plantation company would go. Today, the Group’s geographical reach spans fi ve continents where more than 100,000 people work as part of the global Sime Darby family in any one of six business sectors. It is one of the largest companies in Malaysia, a global player in the Plantation industry and a leading supplier of Caterpillar equipment and luxury cars such as BMW. The Group’s initial trading activities took it beyond Malaysian shores but today, it is a homegrown and diversifi ed multinational with more than 60 percent of revenues derived from overseas operations.
