COLLINS MALAY DIALECT RESEARCH IN MALAYSIA: THE ISSUE OF PERSPECTIVE1 Introduction When European travellers and adventurers began to explore the coasts and islands of Southeast Asia almost five hundred years ago, they found Malay spoken in many of the ports and entrepots of the region. Indeed, today Malay remains an important indigenous language in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and Singapore.2 It should not be a surprise, then, that such a widespread and ancient language is characterized by a wealth of diverse 1 Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the English Department of the National University of Singapore (July 22,1987) and to the Persatuan Linguistik Malaysia (July 23, 1987).

  • Carving Motifs in Timber Houses of Kelantan and Terengganu: Sustaining Malay Architectural Identity
    CARVING MOTIFS IN TIMBER HOUSES OF KELANTAN AND TERENGGANU: SUSTAINING MALAY ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY Ismail Said and Zumahiran Binti Kamarudin Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University May 2010 Introduction • Malay traditional timber houses are normally decorated with excellent carvings with distinctive feature such as on external walls, over doors and windows and fascia board of gable end to provide ventilation as well as decoration,. • Woodcarving is considered as an integral component to the vernacular Malay houses in the northeastern states of Peninsular Malaysia, namely Kelantan and Terengganu. • Carving motifs of flora, geometry, Arabic calligraphy and cosmic features are depicted on carved panels of doors, walls, railings and ventilation components in different shapes and sizes. Aims of the Study • To highlight the visual interpretation of the carving motifs which were applied in the house components. This study provides a significant pattern of carving motif and its application in the carved components of the timber houses of Kelantan and Terengganu which were built in the years of 1850s to late 1940s. Its configuration and distribution in the building fabric were also examined. • The pattern of architectural embellishment could serve as a framework which could be considered as part of invaluable Malay heritage and they were indeed of historical and cultural importance. The woodcarving was a traditional art that reflected the local traditions and customs. Research Questions 1. What are the types of carving motif and contents of carved elements found in the traditional timber houses? 1. What are the uses, styles and pattern of regularity of carving motifs that signify the regional identity? Methods of Research The required data was gathered from the following three research methods: (1) Measured drawings and reports of timber houses from the Centre for the Study of Built Environment in the Malay World (KALAM) at the Department of Architecture in the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

  • 1 SDC 5: Systematic Review of Prospective, Hospital-Based
    SDC 5: Systematic review of prospective, hospital-based rotavirus studies in Malaysia We conducted a systematic search of prospective hospital-based rotavirus (RV) surveillance studies in Malaysia. A meta-analysis was conducted to obtain pooled RV-detection proportions for acute gastroenteritis (AG) hospitalizations. Methods A systematic search was conducted to select studies conducted in Malaysia that comply with WHO recommendations for hospital-based RV surveillance [6]. Criteria for eligibility were as follows: (i) prospective, hospital-based study (ii) at least one year duration, (iii) conducted in Malaysia, (iv) on children under the age of 5 years, (v) stool tested for RV with an enzyme immunoassay test. The literature was searched systematically to locate published articles in three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science). Search terms used were ‘rotavirus’ AND (‘gastroenteritis OR ‘diarrhoea’ OR ‘diarrhea’) AND ‘Malaysia’. The search was limited to English language publications. Citation search and consultation with experts were conducted to identify additional publications. After removing duplicates, titles and abstracts were screened to identify prospective, hospital- based RV studies. Subsequently, full text articles were read to identify studies meeting the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. A DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model [7] was used to pool outcomes from each individual study site and calculate the mean and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for RV-detection proportion. 1 Results The systematic search of three databases provided a total of 94 citations; 39 from Pubmed, 38 from Scopus and 17 from Web of Science. No further articles were identified from citation search or consultation with experts.
