    Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science, Vol.4, no.2, December 1999: 1-20 INTERNET USE AMONGST SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA S.H. Wee Victoria Institution, Jalan Hang Tuah, 55200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia E-mail : [email protected] ABSTRACT This study identifies the pattern of Internet use among 608 upper secondary science students from fourteen schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All schools have computers, out of which 9 have Internet facilities and 3 Internet terminals are located in the school resource centres. About 51.5% of respondent used the Internet. The main reasons for non-use are lack of skill and non-availability. The users mainly accessed the Net from their homes and acquired Internet skills by self-teaching or learning from friends. Slightly over 70% of Net users spent less than 5 hours a week on various functions, but few used it for study-related activities. The average time spent on the Internet was 4.89 hours per week. Most of the Net users (91.4%) explored the World Wide Web while 75.4% used E-mail, 52.1% used IRC or ICQ, 15.7% joined Newsgroups, 2.2% used it for downloading, and 0.6% used it for playing online games. Major problems faced were “lack of skills” and “lack of time”. The Internet was perceived to be a rich information reservoir that provides fast and efficient access to information. The majority believed that Internet did not affect their learning process, with 20.7% reporting a positive effect and 4.5% a negative effect.

  • Libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore; a Short History
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 059 722 LI 003 461 AUTHOR Tee Edward Lim Huck TITLE Lib aries in West Malaysia and Slngap- e; A Sh History. INSTITUTION Malaya Univ., Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). PUB DATE 70 NOTE 169p.;(210 References) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS Foreign Countries; History; *Libraries; Library Planning; *Library Services; Library Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Library Development; Singapore; West Malaysia ABSTRACT An attempt is made to trace the history of every major library in Malay and Singapore. Social and recreational club libraries are not included, and school libraries are not extensively covered. Although it is possible to trace the history of Malaysia's libraries back to the first millenium of the Christian era, there are few written records pre-dating World War II. The lack of documentation on the early periods of library history creates an emphasis on developments in the modern period. This is not out of order since it is only recently that libraries in West Malaysia and Singapore have been recognized as one of the important media of mass education. Lack of funds, failure to recognize the importance of libraries, and problems caused by the federal structure of gc,vernment are blamed for this delay in development. Hinderances to future development are the lack of trained librarians, problems of having to provide material in several different languages, and the lack of national bibliographies, union catalogs and lists of serials.

  • Evaluation of Infill Building Block in Heritage Schools in Kuala Lumpur
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 16 ISSUE 3 (2018) Page 83 – 96 EVALUATION OF INFILL BUILDING BLOCK IN HERITAGE SCHOOLS IN KUALA LUMPUR Mohd Amirul Hakim Zamri1 & Jamalunlaili Abdullah2 1,2Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA, MALAYSIA Abstract In Kuala Lumpur, there are a few heritage schools that are more than 100 years old which have experienced significant infill developments since colonial era. This study evaluates the infill building structures and proposes a suitable design approach of infill development in heritage school. It focuses on the infill development theory, reviews on the physical aspect of heritage school buildings as well as related local policies and guidelines. In order to achieve the research purpose and objectives, the study uses the qualitative methodology. The study found that there are 2 infill design approaches, which is the complementary design approach and contrast design approach and both can be used as long as compatible and in harmony with the existing heritage building and site. Through site observation survey, it was found that although infill development at St John’s Institutions and Maxwell Secondary Schools adopted the contrast approach, the outcome were different. Infill development at St John’s Institutions was compatible and in harmony, while at Maxwell Secondary School was the opposite. Therefore, this study suggests improvement on the existing infill structures in the heritage school, either through image restoration or transfer of facilities to future development. Other recommendation include the government providing infill development guidelines for heritage site, encouraging private sector to participate in heritage school conservation and development, and controlling the height of new development within 100 meter radius from heritage buildings.

Under such phenomenon, students’ sports participation in schools is known to have been practiced in a school program called sports-based character programme. This study attempts to elucidate the nature of minority students’ participation in the programme.

Apart from that, this study also seeks to explore the advantages gained by minority students. In order to attain meaningful data, the researcher carried out focus group interview. In this case, 40 minority students from two different schools were interviewed. The findings of this study revealed that sports-based character school programme have been the mechanism that gives evidence to trigger social integration. The researcher, through observation had witnessed students do get along with other ethnics while they went on training, culled together as a group in competition venues.

  • Press Report on Development of Youth Clubs and Associations in Perak Before the Second World War
    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.3 (2021), 273-280 Research Article Press Report on Development of Youth Clubs and Associations in Perak before the Second World War Siti Zahrah Mahfood1, Wan Noorlizawati Wan Mat Ali2, Nazirah Binti Lee3, Rabaah Abdullah4 1,2,3,4History Department, Sultan Idris Education University [email protected] Article History: Received: 10 November 2020; Revised: 12 January 2021; Accepted: 27 January 2021; Published online: 05 April 2021 Abstract: Activities of youth clubs and associations in Perak were reported in newspapers prior to the Second World War. Based on library research, the primary sources examined, were newspapers such as Taiping Weekly, The Times of Malaya and Planters & Miners Gazette. Other documents and previous studies related to this study contributed to the discussions presented in this paper. This paper focused on details relating to the foundation of clubs and associations in Perak since the British set foot in Malaya. The establishment of these youth clubs and associations opened new avenues for youths from different ethnic backgrounds to participate in activities within their communities which garnered encouragement from the British for youth activities in Perak. Such support from the British reflected their eagerness in developing clubs and associations in Perak. This then served as a catalyst for youths to be involved in organising and establishing clubs and societies. While these clubs and associations developed and expanded, so did the leadership skills among their youths in Perak. There has not been much discussions about youth development and issues related to youth clubs and associations prior to the Second World War.
