It is not accurate to describe the invasion as "unprovoked aggression". Since 1988, a major economic conflict had been brewing between Kuwait and Iraq. The Iraqi government had accused Kuwait of deliberately pushing down the price of OPEC oil through overproduction. It has been estimated that oil-exporting countries in West Asia might have lost billions and billions of dollars as a result of low petroleum prices. Iraq in particular was very unhappy s revenue from this theft was used by Kuwait to help fmance Iraq during its 8-year war with Iran. This was what piqued Iraq when Kuwait demanded settlement of its debts after the war ended! Whether these allegations are true or not, the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait had been discussed at a number of bilateral and regional meeting~ since July 1988. In fact, there was a meeting in Jeddah between Iraq and Kuwait on 30 July 1990, two days before the invasion, but the deadlock could not be broken. It is interesting that even the Los Angeles Times - Washington Post in an article reproduced by the STAR on 22 January 1991 states 'Kuwait was over-producing; and when the Iraqis came in and said, "Can't you do something about it?" the Kuwaitis said, "Sit on it."

It is part of the formal attire or regalia prominent to a Sultan, King or the Yang DiPertuan Besar in Tanah Melayu states with a monarchy reign. As such, the tengkolok has been classified as a three-dimensional work of art. The objective of this research is to analyses the tengkolok as a magnificent piece of Malay art. This analysis is performed based on the available designs of the tengkolok derived from the Malay Sultanate in Malaysia. To illustrate this, the author uses a qualitative method of data collection in the form of writing. Results obtained showed that the tengkolok is a sublime creation of art by the Malays. This beauty is reflected in its variety of names and designs. The name and design of this headdress has proved that the Malays in Malaysia have a high degree of creativity in the creation of the tengkolok.

  • Malaysian Product Design Identity: Review on the ‘Keywords’
    ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics May-Aug 2017 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Vol. 8 Nr. 1 Malaysian Product Design Identity: Review on the ‘Keywords’ Amirul Fahmi Razali, David Hands Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA), Lancaster University, United Kingdom Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, UniSZA, Malaysia Abstract Considering Malaysia as a multi-ethnic country, it is difficult to determine and define the cultural identity to represent Malaysia (Mun, Fern, & Chin, 2015), and use it as a characteristic in designing a product. This has been a challenging issue for most Malaysian local designers to design a Malaysia-look product based on a national identity characteristic. There is no proof that the product characteristic can be summed up or generalized based on the understanding of multi-ethnic agreement decision-making (Zainal, Othman, & Samsudin, 2015). With regards to Malaysia, the primary issue is about the national identity identification for product design. This issue then prompted to the question that would Malaysian designers be able to establish a Malaysian product with a national identity by looking at this multi-ethnic society? This research reviews the literature concerning Malaysian identity based on articles and visuals. It aims at getting the general keywords related to the components in culture and yet to be incorporated with the design characteristics at the beginning of ideation process. The basis of this study is referring to the dominant culture study by Edensor (2002), cultural identity components evaluation by Ibrahim (2015), and culture and identity ‘key issues’ by Clarke (2011). By understanding the cultural component within the society, pulling out the keywords, and validating the chosen keywords by conducting a survey, these keywords will act as the guidance in visualising a characteristic; and there will be greater chances for Malaysian designer to success in developing products with strong Malaysian identities.

    Sarawak Malay Material Culture and their Weltanschauung : Some Preliminary Research Themes and Findings Awang Azman Awang Pawi, Ph.D Malay Studies Universiti Malaysia Sarawak ABSTRACT This article analyses the concept of material culture and its relevance to the Malay material culture in Sarawak. The Malay material culture in Sarawak is considered new as not much research has been done on that subject matter in Malaysia and needs to be studied because of the stark difference between the local knowledge and heritage in Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak. In the broad perspective of the nusantara world, the Malay material culture is under the Malay Archipelago diaspora but different in terms of creativity, innovativeness, thinking and values of the creator. This article argues that the material culture among the Sarawak Malays has its own uniqueness and relevance to the culture, community value and plays a significant role both among the traditional Malays and the modern urban Malay populace. This research has a significant contribution towards understanding the transformation in the projection of their identity and culture, and the social change associated with the preservation and commercialization of parts of the material culture in the zeitgeist of globalization.

Adat berpakaian telah mendapat perhatian dengan peraturan yang disusun atur sejak Sultan Muhammad Syah (1421-1444) di Melaka. Konsep asas pemerian PCM itu membezakan pakaian dilarang pakai oleh rakyat Melaka, iaitu ‘pakaian atas angin (Arab-Parsi) dan ‘memakai cara Keling itupun larangan’.

Terutama dengan pemakaian kain dari pelabuhan Gujerat sejak abad ke 7 M (disinggahi pedagang dari Arab-Parsi juga: cindai, kasa kasa, kain baldu ainulbanat) atau dari China dengan dewangga benang emas, kain bunga perada. Termasuklah pola baju kurung dan seluar yang terkesan daripada gaya Parsi- Gujerati.
