  • George Town Or Georgetown , Is the Capital of the State of Penang In
    George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs. Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese. [edit]History George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804. The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street). The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation.

  • Aktiviti ACS for Private Circulation Only January 2007
    Aktiviti ACS For Private Circulation Only January 2007 UN Convention There is an estimated population of 650 million people with disabilities worldwide, a number that can no longer remain insignificant. In August 2006, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (PWD). "Too often, those living with disabilities have been seen as objects of embarrassment, and at best, of condescending pity and charity. On paper they have enjoyed the same rights as others. In real life, they have often been relegated to the margins and denied the opportunities that others take for granted", said UN Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown. The convention sets out in detail the rights of PWDs. It covers civil and political rights, accessibility, participation and inclusion, education, health, employment and social protection. The treaty also recognises that attitudes need to change if people with disabilities are to achieve equality. The treaty will enter into force once it has been ratified by each of the 192 member states of the UN. Countries that adopt the treaty will have to put it into practice by getting rid of laws, customs and practices that discriminate against PWDs. They will have to introduce laws to ensure that PWDs are treated fairly. We hope Malaysia will be amongst one of the earliest countries to sign the ratification in March 2007. NECIC 2006 The 1st National Early Childhood Intervention Conference (NECIC 2006) which was held in mid-November in Penang, was jointly organized by a nation-wide coalition of 21 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in collaboration with UNICEF Malaysia, Department of Welfare (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development), the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health.
