31 COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES PPR Pinggiran Bukit Jalil People's Housing Program is a government program for the resettlement of squatters and residence requirements for low-income earners. National Housing Department / Ministry of Housing and Local Government is the main implementing agency for the PPR projects throughout Malaysia. PPR consists of two categories, PPR for Rental (PPRS) and PPR for Ownership (PPRM).
PPRM program originally implemented only in the state of Pahang but from the Tenth Malaysia Plan, PPRM program has been expanded to the state of Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur and Sabah. PPRM houses are sold at prices ranging from RM30, 000.00 and RM35, 000.00 per unit in Peninsular Malaysia and RM40, 500.00 in Sabah and Sarawak.

34 Buku Jalanan Chow Kit Buku Jalanan Chow Kit (BJCK) was born out of belief that every child should have the same equal opportunity of receiving an education no matter what background they came from. Children of Chow Kit, children who are slower at learning, children who could not attend school due to circumstances that they are born into and children who have thirst for knowledge are why this initiative is started. In the back alleys of the city, with KLCC and high cost condominiums well seen in the background and monorails zooming by every 10 minutes or so, adding to the various sounds of the Chow Kit road, we provide free classes, teaching any children that would have us there, English and Mathematics. Under solar charged lamps, from 8pm to 11pm, every Friday and Sunday, we hold our classes at the loading bay of Alka Ria, sitting on the mats spread out literally opposite of a smelly dumpster.

BATU CAVES 106 107 ME The Stadthuys is a historical structure situated in the heart of Malacca City, the administrative capital of the state of Malacca, Malaysia in a place known as the Red Square. The Stadthuys is known for its red exterior and nearby red clocktower. It was built by the Dutch in 1650 as the office of the Dutch Governor and Deputy Governor. When Malacca was handed over to the British in the 19th century, the Malacca Free School was opened in the vicinity of the Stadthuys on 7 December 1826, by missionaries residing in the state, in response to a letter dated 19 April 1825, signed by A. J. Humprey, J. W. Overee and A. W. Baumgarten, which called for an English institutional education to be built in Malacca. The school which the British provided free education to residents was eventually renamed Malacca High School in 1871 upon a takeover by the British government, and moved out to its present site at Chan Koon Cheng Road in 1931. Situated at Laksamana Road, beside the Christ Church, the supposed oldest remaining Dutch historical building in the Orient, is now home to the History and Ethnography Museum. Among the displays in the museum are traditional costumes and artifacts throughout the history of Malacca, which makes it Malacca's premier museum. THE STADTHUYS 108 Christ Church built by the Dutch when they took possession of Malacca from the Portuguese, it's one of Malacca’s most defining structures. Situated along Jalan Gereja (also known as Church Street) it is an instantly recognizable brick-red building with a huge white cross at the top. Sitting opposite the Stadthuys, Christ Church was built in 1753 to celebrate a century of Dutch occupation. The interior of the cathedral has 200 year-old handmade pews, decorative fanlights and plaques that honour Dutch soldiers and locals.
Besides its commemorative purpose, Christ Church was constructed due to the fact that when the Dutch first conquered Malacca, they had no place of worship other than St. Paul’s Church, a small chapel built on St. Paul Hill. Later on, when the British took over Malacca they added a weathercock and bell to Christ Church and transformed it from a Protestant church into an Anglican one. Entrance into the basilica is free; it is not a big building and the interior is dark yet cosy, with dark polished wooden pews that face the altar and large timber crucifixes that hang on the walls. Meanwhile, outside the church is a beautiful collection of potted plants and a colourful group of trishaws lined up for tourists. CHRIST CHURCH 109 A Famosa originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church.
In the 16th century A’Famosa housed the entire Portuguese administration, including its hospitals, five churches, elongated stockades and four key towers. One tower was a four-storey keep; the others were an ammunition storage room, captain’s residence and an officer’s quarters. The rest of the bastion comprised of townhouses clustered inside the fortress walls. The fort was expanded in 1586 to accommodate Malacca’s growing population.
A FAMOSA 110 St. Paul's Church is a historic church building in Malacca City, Malaysia that was originally built in 1521, making it the oldest church building in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It is located at the summit of St. Paul's Hill and is today part of the Malacca Museum Complex comprising the A Famosa ruins, the Stadthuys and other historical buildings. The original structure was a simple chapel built in 1521 dedicated to the Virgin Mary and known as the Nossa Senhora da Annunciada (Our Lady of the Annunciation). The chapel was built by a Portuguese fidalgo or nobleman, Duarte Coelho, as an act of gratitude following his escape from a storm in the South China Sea. The chapel was deeded to the Society of Jesus in 1548 by the Bishop of Goa, João Afonso de Albuquerque, with the title deeds received by St. Francis Xavier. The chapel was then further enlarged in 1556 with the addition of a second floor, and a belfry tower was added in 1590. The chapel was then renamed the Igreja de Madre de Deus (Church of the Mother of God). A burial vault was opened in 1592 and many people of distinction were buried there, including Pedro Martins, the second Bishop of Funay, Japan. ST. PAUL’S HILL 111 Malacca is widely known for its harmonious blend of cultures as well as numerous historical sites, and Jonker Street (the main street of Chinatown) is the perfect place to see everything merge together. This central hub of activity also serves as a haven for antique collectors, bargain hunters, and vintage fashion enthusiasts.
The best part of Jonker Street is the Night Market on Fridays and Saturdays that sells everything from tasty treats to cheap keepsakes.
JONKER STREET 112 113 PU J A The second oldest mosque in Malaysia is also known as the Pink Mosque because of its rose-tinted granites. Until 2012, it is said to be the only mosque in the world with a unique pinkish hue. But Masjid Putra highlights more than just the huge 160 meter minaret or its housing capacity of around 18,000 people. It is also a fusion of design elements from different mosques around the world.
The design of the mosque is primarily from Morocco and Baghdad, the carvings are from Egypt, and the stain glass from Germany. It is also inspired by Iranian mosque architecture (Persian Islamic architecture of the Safavid period). Built between 1997 and 1999, it is located near the Perdana Putra which houses the office of the Malaysian Prime Minister. Masjid Putra is a very popular tourist destination in Putrajaya.
MASJID PUTRA: THE PINK MOSQUE 114 The most technologically-advanced mosque in Malaysia is the Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, also known as the Iron Mosque. 70 percent of the materials used for its construction are made from reinforced steel. This amounts to approximately 6,000 tons of steel. And while the mosque doesn’t have any air conditioning or fan, it utilizes a district cooling system which cools down the exterior and the 24,000 people who come in and pray.
The mosque’s design is heavily influenced by Oriental and German architecture. It has an “open concept” and doesn’t feature a minaret. Inside, one can see the Al-Asmaul-Husna calligraphy while the entrance to the main prayer hall is ornamented with verse 80 of Sura Al-Isra. Surrounded by a lake, the immensity of the Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin is really astonishing.
MASJID TUANKU MIZAN ZAINAL ABIDIN: THE IRON MOSQUE 115 Tucked away in a corner of the Putrajaya Botanical Garden, surrounded by landscaped gardens and alongside a lake, lies the exquisite Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya (Astaka Morocco). This remarkable construction with a built-up area of 18,000 square feet showcases moorish architecture of the sort found in places like Cordoba and Granada, Spain. The development of the Moroccan Pavilion was an idea mooted by the malaysian government and it was built with Moroccan assistance. It was intended to symbolise the strong diplomatic ties between the two countries.
The intricate craftsmanship of the ceilings, pillars and walls was prefabricated in various villages in Morocco and shipped over to Putrajaya.Skilled Moroccan artisans were brought in to assemble the pieces and apply the finishing touches.
MOROCCAN PAVILION PUTRAJAYA 116 The man made tropical botanical garden of Taman Botani was established in Putrajaya of which the landscape of the city was to be designed as the "City in the Garden". Taman Botani is one of the many gardens that has been gazetted for development as a tropical garden.

Inside the charbaghs is a interplay of paths , water channels, flower beds and trees.
The square is divided into 11 segments, in the pattern of an 11-pointed star. The outer 11-pointed star represents the 11 states of Malaya when the country gained independence in August 1957. The inner 13-pointed star represents the 13 states of Malaysia and the 14-pointed star includes the new edition of the federal territory. The progressive arrangements of the different pointed stars finally culminate in a circle at the centre of the square. The circle symbolises the ultimate goal of unity.
