Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

BMC Nephrology (2020) 21:344 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-020-01966-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors in Malaysia; findings from a nationwide population-based cross- sectional study Thamil Arasu Saminathan1* , Lai Seong Hooi2, Muhammad Fadhli Mohd Yusoff1, Loke Meng Ong3, Sunita Bavanandan4, Wan Shakira Rodzlan Hasani1, Esther Zhao Zhi Tan5, Irene Wong6, Halizah Mat Rifin1, Tania Gayle Robert1, Hasimah Ismail1, Norazizah Ibrahim Wong1, Ghazali Ahmad4, Rashidah Ambak1, Fatimah Othman1, Hamizatul Akmal Abd Hamid1 and Tahir Aris1 Abstract Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Malaysia was 9.07% in 2011. We aim to determine the current CKD prevalence in Malaysia and its associated risk factors. Methods: A population-based study was conducted on a total of 890 respondents who were representative of the adult population in Malaysia, i.e., aged ≥18 years old. Respondents were randomly selected using a stratified cluster method. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated from calibrated serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI equation. CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or the presence of persistent albuminuria if eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2. Results: Our study shows that the prevalence of CKD in Malaysia was 15.48% (95% CI: 12.30, 19.31) in 2018, an increase compared to the year 2011 when the prevalence of CKD was 9.07%. An estimated 3.85% had stage 1 CKD, 4.82% had stage 2 CKD, and 6.48% had stage 3 CKD, while 0.33% had stage 4–5 CKD.

  • The Importance and Significance of Heritage Conservation of the Ex-Tin Mining Landscape in Perak, Malaysia, the Abode of Grace
    The Asian Conference on Asian Studies 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan The Importance and Significance of Heritage Conservation of the ex-tin Mining Landscape in Perak, Malaysia, the Abode of Grace Suriati Ahmad, David Jones Deakin University, Australia 0134 The Asian Conference on Asian Studies 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract The tin mining industry in Malaysia is one of its major exports and has been classified as its oldest industrial heritage. According to the Malaysian Department of Statistics, the mining sector continues to be significant, supplying basic raw materials to the construction and manufacturing sectors enabling Malaysia's economic growth. Until the late 1970s, Malaysia was the world's premier producer of tin, supplying some 40 per cent of the world's tin. Peninsular Malaysia contributes the highest percentage of tin mining production and the biggest mining area is situated in Perak, comprising Taiping of Larut district, Kinta Valley district (Ipoh, Gopeng, Kampar, Batu Gajah, Tronoh), Pahang and Selangor, which includes the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. However, due to a global recession in 1929 to 1932 a severe decline occurred in this industry. This decline affected the price of tin that fell sharply due to a lack of demand from European markets and caused the closure of many tin mines. In 2011, the Malaysian Chambers of Mines indicated that in Peninsular Malaysia, there is more than 113,700 ha of ex-tin mining areas and the majority of these areas are former tin mining sites. With the current rapid development and modernization of Perak state, the insistence on the human needs has caused changes to its moribund tin mining landscapes.

  • Kellie's Castle and the Indian Labour in Batu Gajah, Perak
    Sejarah: Journal of History Department, University of Malaya; No. 29 (2) 2020: 23-36; ISSN 1985-0611. KELLIE’S CASTLE AND THE INDIAN LABOUR IN BATU GAJAH, PERAK, 1870-1926 Parameswari Krishnan* Universiti Selangor (UNISEL), Malaysia J.Hinduja Jayer Raman** Said Darkasi*** Universiti Selangor (UNISEL), Malaysia Abstract This paper will focus on the history of Kellie 's Castle, built by William Kellie Smith in Batu Gajah, Perak, between the period 1870 to 1926 and the relationship between Kellie Smith and the Indian plantation labourers. This would indicate that the writing of the history of the state of Perak would not be complete without touching Kellie's Castle in Perak with the first elevator shaft in Malaya with some other peculiarities as 3 tunnels under the castle. Needless to say, Kellie had a clear fascination and deep involvement with Indian culture and that appeared to have been the motivation behind his actions. The Historical studies like these that focus on the Indian community in every state in Malaya is very important because the writings are very limited and would give a clear picture of their social life especially in plantation. This paper used a variety of sources especially National Archives records that have never been used by any previous researchers. The main question of this paper is focused on the history of the most historic buildings and relations between India labour in Malaya during the British era. The whole study shows that, kellies castle not only became important in British times but it also carries a great meaning in the history of Perak and Malaysia.
