  • MALAYSIA the Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil Bin
    MALAYSIA The Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil bin Hamzah and Suzana Mohkeri Wetlands International-Asia Pacific INTRODUCTION Malaysia is comprised of 13 federal states with Kuala Lumpur as the federal capital situated in the Federal Territory. Eleven states are in West Malaysia (also known as Peninsular Malaysia) and two states are situated in Borneo Island. Selangor is one of the most highly developed and urbanized states in Malaysia. However, there are still large areas of forested lands scattered throughout the state either under forest reserves, owned by the state, private companies or private landowners. Since the beginning of civilization rivers have been the most important source of food, water resources and transportation. In Malaysia, human settlement always related or concentrated along the rivers. Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), is one of the main rivers in the state of Selangor. The headwater of Sungai Selangor originates from the highland area of the Titiwangsa Range, which is part of the Main Range, the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia. It is an important source of water supply for domestic and agriculture use and fishing industries for people living along the riverbanks. Sungai Selangor flows mainly through oil palm estates and small villages and it does not pass through any major towns. Thus the riparian vegetation along the riverbanks is still intact. According to a report prepared by the Department of Environment, Sungai Selangor river basin is listed as one of the two cleanest rivers in Selangor (Environmental Quality Report, 1996). This river is highlighted here not because of its important food and water resources but of its ecotourism factor.

  • Libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore; a Short History
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 059 722 LI 003 461 AUTHOR Tee Edward Lim Huck TITLE Lib aries in West Malaysia and Slngap- e; A Sh History. INSTITUTION Malaya Univ., Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). PUB DATE 70 NOTE 169p.;(210 References) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS Foreign Countries; History; *Libraries; Library Planning; *Library Services; Library Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Library Development; Singapore; West Malaysia ABSTRACT An attempt is made to trace the history of every major library in Malay and Singapore. Social and recreational club libraries are not included, and school libraries are not extensively covered. Although it is possible to trace the history of Malaysia's libraries back to the first millenium of the Christian era, there are few written records pre-dating World War II. The lack of documentation on the early periods of library history creates an emphasis on developments in the modern period. This is not out of order since it is only recently that libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore have been recognized as one of the important media of mass education. Lack of funds, failure to recognize the importance of libraries, and problems caused by the federal structure of gc,vernment are blamed for this delay in development. Hinderances to future development are the lack of trained librarians, problems of having to provide material in several different languages, and the lack of national bibliographies, union catalogs and lists of serials.

  • Exploring Factors Influencing Recreational Participation at Templer Park, Selangor
    Proceedings of International Conference on Language, Education, Humanities &Social Sciences (i-LEdHS2021) EXPLORING FACTORS INFLUENCING RECREATIONAL PARTICIPATION AT TEMPLER PARK, SELANGOR Nawfal Kamarul Bahrain. Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam [email protected] Nurul Akmaniza Mohd Nasir Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Abstract: Recreational activities are receiving much attention especially among urban communities. It is known that open green space is always capable of providing recreational opportunities to the local community. Templer Park, located between Rawang and Selayang, is seen as a strategic location to attract nearby communities from heavily populated areas to perform their recreational activities. However, the function of the park may be in doubt if the park has not successfully fulfilled the recreational needs and demands among local residents. Since more and more people are living in cities, Templer Park’s function as one of the most important green spaces in the state of Selangor must be understood because people’s interest for recreation activities is increasing too. Therefore, this study investigated the factors influencing participation in recreational activities at Templer Park. A total of 200 respondents were involved in this study by answering survey questionnaires regarding the factors that might contribute to their decision to choose Templer Park as a place for them to carry out recreational activities. Based on the data collected, this study found that the two main factors which put off respondents living nearby from coming to the park include being too busy with other chores and they thought that there was nothing interesting about the park that could attract them to go there.
