  • HISTORYOF COMMUNICATION in MALAYSIA (1940-2008) Sevia Mahdaliza Khairil Amree Zainol
    1 HISTORYOF COMMUNICATION IN MALAYSIA (1940-2008) Sevia Mahdaliza Khairil Amree Zainol 1.1 INTRODUCTION The Second World War was, in some ways, one of the lowest points in Malaysia's history. Japanese forces landed on the north- east border of Malaya on 8 December 194 1 and, in one month, succeeded in establishing their control of both Peninsula Malaya and Sabah and Sarawak. On 15 March 1942, Singapore surrendered. Singapore was renamed Shonan and became the centre of a regional administrative headquarters that incorporated the Straits Settlements, and the Federated Malay States and Sumatra. Much like the British who had installed residents in the Malay ruling houses fifty years earlier, the Japanese appointed local governors to each state. The only difference was that this time, it was the Sultans who were placed in the positions of advisors. The Unfederated Malay States, Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu found themselves back under the sovereignty of Thailand in 1942, when Thailand declared war on Britain and the USA. Most large scale economic activities grounded to a halt during the period of the War. The production of tin which was already falling before the War stopped almost completely. People turned their occupation away from the cultivation of commercial crops, concentrating instead on planting rice and vegetables to ensure they did not go hungry. [1] 2 Wireless Communication Technology in Malaysia 1.2 HISTORY BEGAN For the telecommunication industry, all activity not specifically related to the war effort came to a stand still. A young telegraph operator identified only as E.R. joined what was then the Post and Telecoms Department in 1941.

  • Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama
    Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Tee-Tuan Foo August 2004 © 2004 Tee-Tuan Foo All Rights Reserved This dissertation entitled MANAGING THE CONTENT OF MALAYSIAN TELEVISION DRAMA: PRODUCERS, GATEKEEPERS AND THE BARISAN NASIONAL GOVERNMENT BY TEE-TUAN FOO has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communications by Drew McDaniel Professor of School of Telecommunications Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication FOO, TEE-TUAN. Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.

  • Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and The
    Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Patricia Campbell Laurie Sears Philip Schuyler Meilu Ho Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Joseph M. Kinzer iii University of Washington Abstract Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music In this dissertation, I show how Malay-identified performing arts are used to fold in Malay Muslim identity into the urban milieu, not as an alternative to Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary cultural trajectory, but as an integrated part of it. I found this identity negotiation occurring through secular performance traditions of a particular instrument known as the gambus (lute), an Arabic instrument with strong ties to Malay history and trade. During my fieldwork, I discovered that the gambus in Malaysia is a potent symbol through which Malay Muslim identity is negotiated based on various local and transnational conceptions of Islamic modernity. My dissertation explores the material and virtual pathways that converge a number of historical, geographic, and socio-political sites—including the National Museum and the National Conservatory for the Arts, iv Culture, and Heritage—in my experiences studying the gambus and the wider transmission of muzik Melayu (Malay music) in urban Malaysia. I argue that the gambus complicates articulations of Malay identity through multiple agentic forces, including people (musicians, teachers, etc.), the gambus itself (its materials and iconicity), various governmental and non-governmental institutions, and wider oral, aural, and material transmission processes.

  • Tenth Malaysian Plan (2011 – 2015)
    10th Malaysia Plan iii MALAYSIA TENTH MALAYSIA PLAN 2011-2015 Published by THE ECONOMIC PLANNING UNIT PRIME MINISTER’S DEPARTMENT PUTRAJAYA 2010 10th Malaysia Plan iii Prime Minister Malaysia Foreword The Tenth Malaysian Plan sets another historical milestone as our nation embarks on an important mission towards a progressive and high-income nation, as envisioned in Vision 2020. We have achieved great strides in economic and social development in the past 53 years of nation building, but today we face a different dimension of new challenges. We can no longer rely on past strategies and approaches that had previously driven our economic growth. Malaysia needs a new approach, a new enthusiasm and a new determination driven by the 1Malaysia spirit, to propel Malaysia into the next level of high growth. The Tenth Malaysia Plan houses the aspirations of both the Government Transformation Programme and the New Economic Model, premised on high income, inclusiveness and sustainability. It charts the development of the nation for the next five years, anchored on delivering the desired outcomes for all Malaysians. The Tenth Plan sets the stage for a major structural transformation that a high-income economy requires. The Plan contains new policy directions, strategies and programmes that enable the country to emerge as a high income nation. The national development programmes are attuned to the six National Key Results Areas, outlined in the Government Transformation Programme, the National Key Economic Areas of the Economic Transformation Programme and the strategic economic reforms in the New Economic Model. The Plan details strategies towards a more focused role for the Government as a regulator and catalyst while upholding the principles of 1Malaysia: People First, Performance Now to ensure effective delivery of services.

PROF. DR. ROSSENI DIN Tarikh Hantar: MINGGU 12 MARKS /100 /10 /15 /20 /30 Marker’s Signature: Student’s Signature: Date: Date: 1.0 PENGENALAN RTM Angkasapuri yang juga dikenali sebagai Wisma RTM ialah sebuah kompleks penyiaran Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia / Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) di bawah Kementerian Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia. Pusat Penyiaran Malaysia yang diberi nama "Angkasapuri" dibuka dengan rasminya pada 17hb Februari 1968 oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia pertama, iaitu Tunku Abdul Rahman. Sebelum Angkasapuri dibuka, Pusat Penyiaran negara ini sentiasa berpindah dari satu tempat ke satu tempat yang lain. Sejarah perkembangannya bermula apabila Persatuan Wayarles Tanah Melayu di Kuala Lumpur memulakan siarannya di Bukit Petaling pada tahun 1930. Dari sini ia mula berpindah ke Bangunan Guthric dan kemudian ke Bangunan Oriental di Jalan Tun Perak. Selepas itu ia berpindah lagi ke Hospital Tang Lin dan akhirnya ke Rumah Persekutuan, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur selama kira-kira 15 tahun sebelum berpindah ke Angkasapuri. Sementara studio sementara Televisyen Malaysia yang ditempatkan di sebuah bangunan di Jalan Ampang berhampiran dengan Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman atau kini dikenali sebagai Pusat Pelancongan Malaysia telah memulakan siarannya pada 28hb Disember 1963. Walau bagaimanapun, Jabatan Televisyen yang ditempatkan sementara di Jalan Ampang sejak tahun 1963 hanya dipindahkan ke Angkasapuri lebih kurang 2 tahun kemudian, iaitu pada 6hb November 1969. Peringkat kedua bagi projek Pusat Penyiaran ini hanya selesai dilaksanakan dalam tahun 1972, apabila Bangunan Radio yang kini dikenali sebagai Wisma Radio siap pembinaannya dan memulakan siarannya pada 9hb Mei 1972 tepat pada jam 12.00 tengah malam.
