Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977
Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: The Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977 Allen MCCLYMONT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Submitted June 2021 ABSTRACT The rise of communism in China began a chain of events which eventually led to the largest influx of Protestant missionaries into Malaya and Singapore in their history. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a key part of the British Government’s strategy to defeat communist insurgents was the relocation of more than 580,000 predominantly Chinese rural migrants into what became known as the ‘New Villages’. This thesis examines the response of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF), as a representative of the Protestant missionary enterprise, to an invitation from the Government to serve in the New Villages. It focuses on the period between their arrival in 1952 and 1977, when the majority of missionaries had left the country, and assesses how successful the OMF was in fulfilling its own expectation and those of the Government that invited them. It concludes that in seeking to fulfil Government expectation, residential missionaries were an influential presence, a presence which contributed to the ongoing viability of the New Villages after their establishment and beyond Independence. It challenges the portrayal of Protestant missionaries as cultural imperialists as an outdated paradigm with which to assess their role. By living in the New Villages under the same restrictions as everyone else, missionaries unconsciously became conduits of Western culture and ideas. At the same time, through learning local languages and supporting indigenous agency, they encouraged New Village inhabitants to adapt to Malaysian society, while also retaining their Chinese identity. -
Laluan Csr Raub-Bentong Jangka Dibuka Masa Terdekat
LALUAN CSR RAUB-BENTONG JANGKA DIBUKA MASA TERDEKAT BENTONG, 24 APRIL 2021: Laluan Raub ke Bentong, Projek Lebuhraya Central Spine Road (CSR) sepanjang 34 kilometer (km) dijangka akan dapat dibuka kepada orang ramai dalam masa terdekat. Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kerja Raya, Pengangkutan dan Kesihatan Negeri Pahang, YB. Dato’ Sri Norolazali Sulaiman berkata, namun pembukaan itu tertakluk kepada beberapa perkara teknikal berkaitan. “Jadi kita harapkan jajaran ini boleh disiapkan segera dan kita jangka boleh dibuka dalam masa terdekat ini. Saya harap sebelum sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri boleh dibuka. “Cadangan untuk kita buka jalan ini adalah daripada persimpangan Bentong ke persimpangan FELDA Mempaga dan keluar di simpang Kampung Keruntum berhampiran FELDA Lurah Bilut dan selepas itu akan keluar balik ikut jalan lama. “Kiranya pengguna yang nak ke Kelantan atau Raub atau Lipis akan masuk dari persimpangan Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT), kemudian keluar di persimpangan Jalan Utama Mempaga (FT1498) dan masuk masuk balik ke Jalan Kuala Lumpur - Gua Musang (FT08) di Kampung Asap sebelum FELDA Lurah Bilut, tidak melalui bandar Bentong,” katanya. Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas Program Lawatan Kerja Ke Projek Central Spine Road (CSR) Pakej 5 : Raub ke Bentong, di sini baru-baru ini. Beliau berkata, pembukaan laluan sepanjang 34 kilometer (km) ini dijangka dapat memberi manfaat kepada pengguna jalan dengan mengurangkan masa perjalanan mereka. “Seperti yang kita tahu, jalan Bentong ini bila trafik sesak, pengguna boleh tersangkut sampai berjam lamanya terutamanya bila musim perayaan. “Kita harap dengan pembukaan pakej 5C dan 5D ini dapat memberi pilihan alternatif kepada orang ramai untuk perjalanan mereka lebih cepat dan selesa,” katanya. Laluan CSR bagi laluan Raub ke Bentong ini sepanjang 54 km keseluruhan adalah merupakan sebahagian daripada enam pakej CSR yang menghubungkan Kuala Krai, Kelantan dan Simpang Pelangai, Kuala Lipis sepanjang 350km. -
Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang
International Journal of Academic Research in Economics and Management Sciences 2016, Vol. 5, No. 3 ISSN: 2226-3624 Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang Kamal Kenny, PhD El Sheila Kanavathi DOI: 10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 Abstract: Over the years, the infusion of private and public entity roles in the context of the socio-economic development of Malaysia is deemed viable as reinforced by the need to address the socio-economic gaps and demands of the local community. These undertakings will more likely provide several important ideas that would suffice related and relevant literatures, which will be used for the creation of better socio-economic growth in Malaysia. The passage from under-development to development means that several inter-related processes occur simultaneously. In an economic sense, development entails the transformation of simple subsistence economies into complex monetary economies. In the process, an increase in the proportion of products that is sold or exchanged and a decline in the proportion of consumption may take place concurrently. The study was carried out to determine the socio- economic demands and gaps of the local population and suggest assistance and interventions required. The overall results of this study reveal the challenges faced at the community level in the District of Bentong in the context of social and economy. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout the district involving 300 respondents and also complemented with a Focus Group Discussion carried out with key stakeholders. -
2 Geology of Peninsular Malaysia
2 GEOLOGY OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA 2.1 INTRODUCTION Peninsular Malaysia has traditionLlly been subdivided into NNW-SSE longitudinal belts on the basis of stratigraphy, mineralisation, geological structure, geological history and tectonic evolution . Scrivenor (19:;8) subdivided the Peninsula into three elongate belts on the basis of mineralisation: a western tin belt, a central gold belt and an eastern tin belt. Hutchison (1977) divided the Peni isula into four major tectonic subdivisions on the basis of different tectonic histories; the '1Vestern Stable Shelf, the Main Range Belt, the Central graben, and the Eastern Belt. Fo ) (1983) divided the Peninsula into four zones on the basis of differences in stratign phy. Khoo and Tan (1983) proposed a threefold subdivision; a Western Belt, Central Belt and an Eastern Belt on the basis of differences in stratigraphy and geological histoi y within Peninsular Malaysia. Within this threefold subdivision, Khoo and Tan (1983' further divided the Western Belt into two regions: a northwest sector and a Kinta-Ma acca sector. Tjia and Harun (1985) recognised four structural domains within the Peninsula. They defined Northwest, West, Central and Eastern structural domains. Within all the above subdivision schemes, the boundary between the eastern and central "belts" is taken as the Lebir Fault 2 one, and the boundary between the central and western "belts" is the Bentong-Raub line of Hutchison (1975). As previously stated (Chapter 1.5.2), Metcalfe (1988) proposed that Peninsular Malaysia consisted of two continental terra les, a western Gondwanan affinity continental terrane (Sibumasu) and an eastern Cathaysian affinity continental terrane (Indochina/East Malaya) Chapter 2: Geology of Peninsular Malaysia (Fig. -

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Flood Can Be
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Flood can be described as the occurrence of overflowing or influx of water beyond its normal confines or outpouring of water. When the rain water traps in a particular land area and the water flow rate out from the area is slower than the rain water accumulated, therefore, flood happen. Recently, flooding is one of the most destructive natural disasters that happened in Malaysia. Flood in Malaysia become more serious and dangerous due to deforestation, urbanization and agricultural development. Since 1660s especially in 1971 Malaysia have face dramatic flood event with dramatic lives and property losses billion of malaysian ringgit. This make Malaysia goverment taken several positive steps and seriously planning to envisage flood mitigation projects in its national plans. The Malaysian Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) has estimated that people (22% of the population) are potentially affected by floods annually. The yearly economic damage caused by flooding is estimated at approximately US$300 million approximately 29,000 km2, or 9%, of the total land area and more than 4.82 million (Hazi Mohammad Azamathulla, Aminuddin Ab. Ghani, Cheng Siang Leow, Chun Kiat Chang and Nor Azazi Zakaria, 2011) The purpose of this project is to research more about the flood occurrence in Pekan, Pahang. Flood overflow are frequently occur at the East Peninsular of Malaysia and the worst is during monsoon season in November until December. In low land area, the flood is more likely to occur compared to high land area. In Pahang, most of the rural areas are located near to the rivers and the rain water can easily trapped and 2 overflow from the rivers itself.
