    he magazine of St Michael’s Institution, T“The Michaelian” is 65 years old this year. The first magazine was published in 1948 during the directorship of Brother Patrick O’ Donovan. He was the Brother Director in St Michael’s from June 1938 to March 1948. He stood out in Michaelian history as an educationist par excellence who succeeded in putting St Michael’s in the top rank of schools. He introduced science teaching and was responsible for increased interest and efficiency in the classroom and extra-curricular activities. Among the many significant seeds sown during the Patrician era were the setting up of Chinese language classes, the Literary and Debating Society, the Thrift Society, the School Broadcasting Society and the Michaelian magazine. He was also responsible for the establishment of the De La Salle School in Kampar. This year we pay tribute to “The Michaelian”, being showcased on the front cover, all the past issues of the magazines we treasure and value. After a period of more than six decades, “The Michaelian” is still going strong and continues its quest to document the historic, significant and memorable events dear to all. St. Michael’s Institution, St. John Baptist De La Salle Ipoh 1651-1719 OUR VISION To be an educative community inspired by ideals of Faith, Fraternity and Service. OUR MICHAELIAN MISSION To experience communion between students, staff, De La Salle’s work continues parents and alumni.

  • The Design of Mosques As Community Development Centers from the Perspective of the Sunna and Wright’S Organic Architecture
    THE DESIGN OF MOSQUES AS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE SUNNA AND WRIGHT’S ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia e-mail: [email protected] Nangkula Utaberta Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia e-mail:[email protected] Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to present an alternative approach to mosque design with particular reference to the context of Malaysia and the Malay World or the Nusantara. The paper contains four main parts. The first part examines the problem of mosque architectural interpretation from the perspective of Western architectural historiography. The main problems highlighted are those which pertain to the idea of ‘architecture’, ‘religious architecture’, relevance of the body of knowledge known as the ‘Hadith’ and lastly the specific historical-political agenda of some traditional mosques. The second part of the paper expounds briefly a reinterpretation of the hadith in arguing that the mosque approaches more as a community development complex than that as a mere house of rituals. The third part of the paper examines Wright’s Organic Architecture with specific reference to the design of the Unity Church and a few other buildings as containing some important lessons of mosque designs from the perspective of the Sunnah. The final part of the paper uses the principles discussed to criticize the Putra Mosque and the Masjid Negara. Keywords: Sunna, Organic Architecture, mosque design, Frank Lloyd Wright Abstrak Kajian ini berupaya untuk menghadirkan pendekatan alternatif terhadap perancangan masjid dengan referensi kontekstual dari Malaysia atau Nusantara.

  • Mosque Tourism in Malaysia: a Marketing Perspective
    International Journal of Social Science Research e-ISSN: 2710-6276 | Vol. 1, No. 2, 108-120, 2019 http://myjms.moe.gov.my/index.php/ijssr MOSQUE TOURISM IN MALAYSIA: A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE Norhanim Abdul Razak1* 1 School of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management, College of Law, Government and International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Accepted: 6 December 2019 | Published: 16 December 2019 Abstract: Mosque tourism is one of the niche areas in the field of Islamic tourism that is expanding rapidly. The presence of mosques with outstanding historical, heritage, and aesthetic values have attracted foreign and domestic tourists to visit, appreciate, and experience these Muslim places of worship. As Islamic tourism is gaining popularity and the importance of mosques as tourist attractions is growing, it is therefore useful to explore mosque tourism in the context of Malaysia. While a number of investigations have researched mosque tourism in the contexts of motivations, residents’ attitudes, and architecture uniqueness, limited studies have examined Muslim places of worship from the perspective of marketing. Hence, this paper focuses on how Malaysian mosques have been promoted in tourism materials. Content analysis was utilised in the assessment of textual descriptions and visual images of mosques that have been featured in tourism promotions for over seven decades. Findings of this paper uncovered that mosques have been represented in tourism brochures published from 1969 to August 2019. Two of the earliest mosques that appeared in tourism brochures are Kapitan Kling Mosque and the Malay Mosque (Masjid Kampung Melayu) in the promotion of Penang as a tourist destination.
