  • First Systematic Study of Late Pleistocene Rat Fossils From
    Sains Malaysiana 48(12)(2019): 2613–2622 http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2019-4812-02 First Systematic Study of Late Pleistocene Rat Fossils from Batu Caves: New Record of Extinct Species and Biogeography Implications (Kajian Sistematik Pertama Fosil Tikus Akhir Pleistosen dari Batu Caves: Rekod Baharu Spesies yang Telah Pupus dan Implikasi Biogeografi) ISHLAHUDA HANI SAHAK, LIM TZE TSHEN, ROS FATIHAH MUHAMMAD*, NUR SYIMAH IZZAH ABDULLAH THANI & MOHAMMAD AMIN ABD AZIZ ABSTRACT This paper presents the first systematic study of rat (Murinae) isolated dental fossils collected from Late Pleistocene (66000 years ago) cave breccia deposits in Cistern Cave, Batu Caves, Selangor. The cave is partly deposited with fine, coarse and pebbly breccia mixed with abundant mammal fossil cemented to the wall and ceiling of the cave. A total of 39 specimens of teeth and jaw fragments of Murinae were recovered among other large and small mammal remains. Dental morphology and size comparisons suggest that the fossils belong to extinct and extant species which occurred in Peninsular Malaysia and adjacent regions. The species identified are Chiropodomys gliroides, Leopoldamys sabanus, Leopoldamys minutus, Maxomys whiteheadi, Maxomys rajah and Rattus rattus. Almost all species identified from the fossils are known as markers for lowland forested environments. Keywords: Caves fossils; Murinae; Peninsular Malaysia; quaternary ABSTRAK Kertas ini membentangkan kajian sistematik pertama fosil gigi tikus (Murinae) yang ditemui di dalam endapan breksia gua yang berusia Akhir Pleistosen (66000 tahun dahulu) di Gua Cistern, Batu Caves, Selangor.

  • Exploring Factors Influencing Recreational Participation at Templer Park, Selangor
    Proceedings of International Conference on Language, Education, Humanities &Social Sciences (i-LEdHS2021) EXPLORING FACTORS INFLUENCING RECREATIONAL PARTICIPATION AT TEMPLER PARK, SELANGOR Nawfal Kamarul Bahrain. Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam [email protected] Nurul Akmaniza Mohd Nasir Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Abstract: Recreational activities are receiving much attention especially among urban communities. It is known that open green space is always capable of providing recreational opportunities to the local community. Templer Park, located between Rawang and Selayang, is seen as a strategic location to attract nearby communities from heavily populated areas to perform their recreational activities. However, the function of the park may be in doubt if the park has not successfully fulfilled the recreational needs and demands among local residents. Since more and more people are living in cities, Templer Park’s function as one of the most important green spaces in the state of Selangor must be understood because people’s interest for recreation activities is increasing too. Therefore, this study investigated the factors influencing participation in recreational activities at Templer Park. A total of 200 respondents were involved in this study by answering survey questionnaires regarding the factors that might contribute to their decision to choose Templer Park as a place for them to carry out recreational activities. Based on the data collected, this study found that the two main factors which put off respondents living nearby from coming to the park include being too busy with other chores and they thought that there was nothing interesting about the park that could attract them to go there.

  • Engineering Geology in Malaysia – Some Case Studies Tan Boon Kong
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 64, December 2017, pp. 65 – 79 Engineering geology in Malaysia – some case studies Tan Boon Kong Consultant Engineering Geologist, Petaling Jaya Email address: [email protected] Abstract: Engineering geology deals with the application of geology to civil engineering and construction works. The fundamental input in engineering geology would involve, among other things, studies on the lithologies, geologic structures and weathering grades of the rock masses since together they determine the characteristics and behaviours of the rock masses. In addition, project-specific requirements and problems need to be addressed. This paper presents several case studies on Engineering Geology in Malaysia such as: Foundations in Limestone Bedrock, Limestone Cliff Stability, Rock Slope Stability, Dams, Tunnels, Riverbank Instability, Slope Failure due to Rapid Draw-down, Urban Geology & Hillsite Development, and Airports. The various case studies presented here are based mainly on the author’s ~35 years of past practice and experiences.

  • Integrated Management of Malaysian Road Network Operations Through ITS Initiatives: Issues, Potentials and Challenges
    Integrated management of Malaysian road network operations through ITS Initiatives: issues, potentials and challenges Moazzem Hossain Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) GL33, Kelana Square, Kelana Jaya, PJ 47301, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract During the last twenty five years, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted considerable growth of Malaysian highway network. Apart from few specialized industrial zones, most of the industrial zones are established in close proximity of the urban areas in order to ensure the smooth supply of manpower especially for the dominating manufacturing sectors. This phenomenon resulted in a number of large regional units of transport demand base involving high private motorized trips and truck dependent freight trips. The growth of car and truck trips especially in the regions including sea ports is putting tremendous pressure on the capacity of these regions’s road network which cannot be subdued by only physical extension of the network which often proved to be costly also. As a result, a number of such regions e.g. Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru are experiencing the problems of congestion, accidents and air pollution on their highway network. In many developed countries integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) initiatives applied to these sorts of regional bases have been claimed to be successful in alleviating those problems in a cost-effective manner. This paper will investigate the issues related to such integrated application of ITS initiatives in Malaysia on a regional basis with particular focus on Klang Valley region. Starting from the basic ITS functionality, the paper will identify the potential focus areas such as data gathering, data communication among and across jurisdictions, System flexibility, smart use of alternative routes, public-private collaboration and integration of public-private agencies in terms of regional ITS operational needs.
