M. A. August 2004. Southeast Asian Studies From A Capital City to A World City: Vision 2020, Multimedia Super Corridor and Kuala Lumpur (121pp.) Advisor of Thesis: Yeong-Hyun Kim In 1991, the former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad introduced an initiative called Vision 2020, designed to bring Malaysia to a developed country status, and this initiative will eventually support Kuala Lumpur’s position to become a world city. This thesis examines the recent urban restructuring of Kuala Lumpur in terms of the Malaysian government’s current aspiration for world city status. Many capital cities in the developing world have been undergoing various world city projects that aim at, among other things, improving their international visibility, advancing urban infrastructures and promoting economic competitiveness in a global world economy. This thesis focuses on four large-scale constructions in the Multimedia Super Corridor, namely, the Kuala Lumpur City Center, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

Urban forests have the potential to address these issues. Thus, it is not surprising that urban forest research is slowly gaining traction in these regions. However, there have been limited urban forest research reviews focusing on developing countries, especially tropical countries in the global south. Research reviews are vital in identifying the distribution of research themes, hence revealing research gaps and needs. Therefore, this review paper aims to provide a deep insight into the development of urban forest research in Malaysia in the past 20 years. The core purpose of this review is to analyze the distribution of research themes in Malaysia, thus identifying research gaps and needs in developing countries. A total of 43 articles were selected for this review, using the PRISMA framework.

  • Exclusivist Attitudes in Malaysian Islam Have Multifarious Roots
    ISSUE: 2016 NO. 39 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 5 July 2016 Exclusivist Attitudes in Malaysian Islam Have Multifarious Roots Norshahril Saat1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Islam in Malaysia is currently seen to be driven by two separate trends. First, there is increasing concern that Malaysian Islam is becoming “Arabised” (showing an inclination towards Middle Eastern culture, values, and most importantly, puritan ideas stemming from Wahhabism/Salafism). Second, there is growing disquiet about the exclusivist behaviour of the religious elite, especially the muftis (state-appointed religious scholars). Be that as it may, the Middle Eastern impact on the religious elite is very varied, and the perceived Arabisation of Malaysian Islam and its assumed role in promoting conservatism and exclusivism, is generally a multifaceted matter. Religious conservatism and exclusivism do not emerge from influences coming from the Middle East alone, but also from an orientation within Malaysia’s feudalistic political culture, which continues to be promoted by Malay Rulers and the dominant party, UMNO. The Islamic resurgence that has since the 1970s been championing an Islamic alternative to the existing political, social and economic order, also had a profound impact. The nexus between Wahhabism/Salafism, puritan ideology, and exclusivism is a complex one, and case studies of Malaysian muftis suggest that there in fact exists on this issue differing and competing modes of thought. This contest is widely found among the general population of Malaysian Muslims as well. 1 Dr Norshahril Saat is Fellow at the Regional Strategic and Political Studies programme, ISEAS- Yusof Ishak Institute.

  • Malaysia 2017 International Religious Freedom Report
    MALAYSIA 2017 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution states Islam is the “religion of the Federation; but other religions may be practiced in peace and harmony.” Federal and state governments have the power to mandate doctrine for Muslims and promote Sunni Islam above all other religious groups. Other forms of Islam are illegal and subject to action by religious authorities. The government maintains a parallel legal system, with certain civil matters for Muslims covered by sharia. The relationship between sharia and civil law remains unresolved in the legal system. In August the ruling government coalition permitted a bill drafted by the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to be introduced in parliament that would significantly raise current limits on sharia courts’ punishment powers, although lawmakers did not vote on the bill. Sedition laws criminalize speech that “promotes ill will, hostility, or hatred on the grounds of religion.” Despite closed circuit television footage of the kidnapping of a Christian pastor and eyewitness testimony, police reportedly made little progress investigating the incident. Authorities announced they would investigate reports the pastor was involved in proselytizing Muslims. The government arrested hundreds of persons practicing forms of Islam other than Sunni, including Shia Muslims celebrating Ashura, and individuals whom authorities said insulted religion or incited “religious disharmony.” The government continued to bar Muslims from converting to another religion and imposed fines, detentions, and canings on those classified under the law as Muslims who contravened sharia codes. Non-Muslims continued to face legal difficulty in using the word “Allah” to denote God. The government canceled a Christian prayer gathering to be held in Melaka State, saying it would upset the sensibilities of Muslims during Ramadan.

  • Hydrological Drought Across Peninsular Malaysia
    https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-2021-176 Preprint. Discussion started: 17 June 2021 c Author(s) 2021. CC BY 4.0 License. Hydrological Drought across Peninsular Malaysia: Implication of drought index Hasrul Hazman Hasan1, Siti Fatin Mohd Razali1, Nur Shazwani Muhammad1, Asmadi Ahmad2 1Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 5 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia 2Office of Klang River Basin, Department of Irrigation & Drainage Kuala Lumpur, Kolam Takungan Batu, Batu 4 ½ Off Jalan Ipoh, 51200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Correspondence to: Siti Fatin Mohd Razali ([email protected]) Abstract. Drought is considered a damaging natural disaster for economic, societal, and ecological impacts. The challenge 10 of drought is to determine the drought characteristics, frequency, duration and severity, vital for drought's impact control and mitigation strategies. This paper adopts the spatial pattern of Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) for three, six, nine and twelve months for the tropical climate at Peninsular Malaysia. About 40 years of daily streamflow data based on 42 hydrological discharge stations were analyzed to obtain these indices. The area under drought stress during the study period at different time scales is stable and approximately 24% of the total area. The years 1997-1999, 2002 and 2016-2018 mark the most 15 critical drought years, with more than 48% of the entire basin area under hydrological drought. According to the spatial evaluation of drought characteristics, short-term droughts are frequent in most regions, with relatively high severity and frequency in Northeast and Southeast of Peninsular Malaysia, where the maximum frequency reached 35.7% and 42.8%, respectively.
