This paper studies the reasons for its different establishments, and it determines the social and physical benefits to the pedestrian walkways through a further investigation regarding the morphological parameters used by the Landscape Department of KLCH. The outcomes indicated that the street vegetation morphology implemented is mainly to improve the social and physical condition of the pedestrian walkways, especially the safety of the pedestrians due to snatching and reckless crossings.

Prof. Dr., Chairman, Center for Akidah and Global Peace, Faculty of Islamic Studies, The National University of Malaysia / Senior Fellow at The Institute of Islam Hadhari, The National University of Malaysia, Malaysia Abstract The existence of Muslim-Buddhist conflicts in the Southeast Asian region such as in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand is based on the perception that Islam is a threat to Buddhism. While in Malaysia, although the relationship between the Muslims and Buddhists remains in harmony, there is a certain perception among Buddhists towards Islam. Hence, this article will discuss the forms of Buddhism's perception of Islam in Malaysia. The study was qualitative using document analysis. The study found that particular group of Buddhists in Malaysia had a negative perception of Islam, particularly on the implementation of Islamization policy by the government and the Islamic resurgence movement in Malaysia. This perception is based on misunderstanding of Islam which is seen as a threat to the survival of Buddhists in practicing their teachings. The study recommends the empowerment of understanding between the religious adherents through Islamic-Buddhist dialogue at various levels of government and NGOs.

  • Taman Negara National Park in Malaysia
    Taman Negara National Park in Malaysia Entrance of the Taman Negara National Park of Malaysia Explore the secrets of the impenetrable, umbrageous, and wettish woodlands of the Taman Negara National Park. It is, in fact, the very first and the oldest prescribed protected area in Malaysia. The park was initially christened ‘King George V National Park’. During King George's Silver Jubilee in 1938, the Sultans of Kelantan, Pahang, and Terengganu designated Taman Negara as a reserved area. It became imperative to preserve the land's pristine nature in sempiternity. In 1957, the park was renamed as Taman Negara. The verdant park boasts of some of the most complex and copious ecosystems in the world. Amidst the labyrinth of ancient trees, you might spot different species of snakes, including reticulated pythons, redheaded kraits, dog-toothed cat snakes, and temple pit vipers. Other animals that are seen prancing in the woodlands are monkeys, tigers, rhinos, elephants, lizards, etc. Extremely rare species of the flying squirrel reside stealthily in the park, so that the visitors don’t see them easily. The lush green foliage veils them. Some of the exotic floral species in the park comprise the world’s largest flower giant Rafflesia, orchids, dwarf luminescent fungi, and two-tone ferns. You need to have a mettle for perambulating in the forest as you may get surprises in the form of flying or crawling insects and the ever-pervading leeches. Where is Taman Negara National Park? Taman Negara is located in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. You can reach the park by train.
