We have made significant strides in eradicating hardcore poverty, we have developed a diversified economic base, increased the quality of life of the average citizen and created a progressive civil service which embraces change. But it is also clear that we face significant challenges to achieve the ambitious goals of Vision 2020, by the year 2020. I am confident that this Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap is what we need to help chart our path towards Vision 2020. It details a bold and unprecedented programme to begin to transform the Government and to renew the Government’s focus on delivering services to the rakyat. The scope of this GTP is broad, and will encompass every Ministry within government.

    51 Arunajeet Kaur: Police Gurdwaras Police Gurdwaras of the Straits Settlements and the Malay States (1874-1957) Arunajeet Kaur Nanyang Technological University, Singapore _______________________________________________________________ Sikh migrants to Malaya, who came under the auspices of the British Empire, were first policemen and were later followed by other Sikhs from the Punjab, who took up other professions in the host land. Gurudwara construction and the history behind these Gurudwaras are reflective of the stationing of Sikh police regiments in the respective Malay States and also the settlement patterns of Sikh communities in Malaya. The prolific construction of Sikh Gurudwaras in Malaya demonstrate ‘hotspots’, where more Gurudwaras were constructed, such as in Perak, Selangor and the Straits Settlements, that were to further encourage Sikh communal activities and culture in Malaya. This article describes the construction and significance of Gurudwaras in Malaya. _______________________________________________________________ Murphy (2012, 189) writes that ‘Places and objects related to the Gurus were important in the precolonial historical imaginary. They provided evidence of a history of relationships in the past–parallel to that narrated within the textual historiography - that constructed the community around the Guru, the Sikhs, in the ongoing present. The landscape of the Sikh past was commemorated by the establishment of Gurdwaras …’ Murphy evidently refers to Gurdwaras affecting the landscape and historiography of the

    WEN Wei & WONG Danny Tze Ken The Development of Cantonese Chinese Community in the Klang Valley, 1860-1941 The Development of Cantonese Chinese Community in the Klang Valley, 1860-1941 WEN Wei, WONG Danny Tze Ken* Department of History, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Malaya Abstract This article traces the development process of the Cantonese community in the Klang Valley. As indicated in the local sources of the Chinese community history in this region, the Cantonese group, among other Chinese dialect groups, contributed significantly to the early development of Kuala Lumpur. They also rose as a dominant economic group among the Chinese community in the Klang Valley from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. The Cantonese of Kuala Lumpur gradually replaced the Hakka group and emerged as the dominant group until the 1930s in both economic and social domains. In the process, the personal resources of group members, the organizational structure, the hierarchy within the Cantonese leadership, and the gender ratio were the four primary elements that impacted the growth of the Cantonese community. The Cantonese business elite took advantage of new economic opportunities such as the Chinese banking and real estate development. When the Chinese tin mining industry began to decline in 1914, these new business ventures sustained the overall Chinese economic system in the Klang Valley from the 1910s to 1920s. Along with the surge of the Cantonese economic strength, the hierarchical differentiation within the Cantonese community emerged, and some business elites started to shift their loyalty to the British. On the other hand, the Cantonese social elites from labour and middle classes actively participated in the political movement related to Mainland China.

    AESTHETICS of SUPER-DIVERSITY: the CANTONESE ANCESTRAL CLAN BUILDING AS a SOCIAL INTEGRATION PLATFORM

    Finisterra, LV(113), 2020, pp. 45 ‑62 ISSN: 0430-5027 doi: 10.18055/Finis17553 Artigo AESTHETICS OF SUPER-DIVERSITY: THE CANTONESE ANCESTRAL CLAN BUILDING AS A SOCIAL INTEGRATION PLATFORM Rachel Chan Suet Kay1 ABSTRACT – In the quest to develop cities for the long run, the debate is whether to retain elements of culture or to reinvent such spaces for new uses. Cultural heritage preser- vation thus becomes an issue in urban planning. Heritage sites and buildings are currently facing a great threat from new urban development particularly in developing countries including Malaysia. Nonetheless, there are those who argue for the preservation of local identity in the face of urban development. They claim that within the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, there are areas rich in diversity of identity, and these should be made more visible. This paper uses the case study of Chan See Shu Yuen, a historically significant Cantonese ancestral clan association building which houses both tangible and intangible cultural heri- tage in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Through a mixed-method approach, combining inter- views, surveys, content analysis, photography, and videography, I outline how this clan asso- ciation increases social cohesion through its continued functions of providing aesthetic value and being a tourist attraction. This makes the case for the continued retention of his- torical buildings and practices, despite overarching social changes such as super-diversity. Keywords: Cities and culture; cultural heritage; super-diversity. RESUMO – ESTÉTICA DA SUPER-DIVERSIDADE: O EDIFÍCIO DO CLÃ ANCES- TRAL CANTONÊS ENQUANTO PLATAFORMA DE INTEGRAÇÃO SOCIAL. Na busca pelo desenvolvimento de cidades a longo prazo, importa debater se devemos reter elementos da cultura ou reinventar esses espaços para novos usos.

Chan Kartini A.T. Khalid National University of Malaysia National University of Malaysia Abstract Chinese clan associations can be found in many parts of the world, due to the Chinese emigration from mainland China in the 1800s. This paper contextualises the study of Chinese clan associations within the Asian approach to cultural heritage preservation. In particular, it takes the case of Cantonese clan associations, a dialect group of the Chinese, whose clan associations have been studied less extensively in comparison to other dialects such as Hokkien and Hakka. The case study used is the Chan See Shu Yuen Clan Association Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (CSSYKL), which was originally set up by a founder of Cantonese origin, and now operates as a cultural centre as well as a tourist attraction in a strategic location in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur.

    Sejarah: Journal of History Department, University of Malaya; No. 28 (2) 2019: 21-42; ISSN 1985-0611. FROM DIALECT TO ETHNIC IDENTITY: THE CHINESE COMMUNITY IN THE KLANG VALLEY AS A CASE STUDY Wen Wei* Danny Wong Tze-Ken** University of Malaya (UM) Abstract This article reviews the history of the Hakka, Cantonese and Hokkien dialect groups who had successively become the leading forces among the Chinese in the Klang Valley from 1860 prior to the World War II. It also examines rivalries between different dialect groups which were related to the Chinese community leadership in four aspects covered by the position of Kapitan Cina; the management rights in Chinese temples and ancestral halls; the bloody riots and the presidentship in the Chinese economic and social bodies like the Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall. The objectives of this article are to identify two dialect groups power transformations within the Chinese community and to analyze the factors which resulted to these dialect power shifts and the Chinese ethnic integration. The analyses in this article are based on the primary sources consisting of the files of Colonial Office from the National Archives, London, Selangor Annual Reports from the National Archives of Malaysia, the secondary sources consisting of the magazines from different Chinese associations in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Chinese newspapers which preserved in Singapore and some Chinese Foreign Ministry records from Academia Historica, Taiwan.
