Christopher Zegras Chair, MCP Committee Department of Urban Studies and Planning _01006=6b.." ar4 - __ Abstract Evaluating Megaprojects: The Case of Forest City in Johor, Malaysia By Joseph Marcel R. Williams Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 20, 2016 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in City Planning Large urban megaprojects costing billions of US dollars, erected with the promise of great economic benefits but controversial due to their environmental and social impacts, are becoming more common throughout the world. Most popular in the Middle East and in Asia, such projects exemplify how forces of globalization engage with urban form. Urban megaprojects are increasingly pursued by foreign developers looking to expand abroad but often face challenges operating in unfamiliar political and regulatory settings. Chinese developers, in particular, have global ambitions but may conflict with local priorities as they extend their reach overseas. Forest City is a vast luxury real estate development by Chinese developer Country Garden on 14 square kilometers of reclaimed land spread over four islands on the Malaysian side of the Straits of Johor, the strip of water which separates it from Singapore. This study uses Forest City as a case study to investigate the key themes associated with large urban mega projects and the impacts they have on a region. Among them is the notion that such projects are considered "exceptional" and therefore bypass traditional planning and development controls. Actors external to planning and development are suspected of co-opting the process for their own interests. Evidence collected during fieldwork from July-August 2015 and January 2016 suggests that Forest City fits neatly within these patterns and sheds light on the patterns of influence in urban development throughout the region. The case also suggests several lessons for Chinese developers operating abroad. Thesis Supervisor: Lawrence Susskind Title: Ford Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning 2 Acknowledgements I am foremost indebted to my advisor, Professor Larry Susskind, for his guidance, support and helpful feedback. He enabled me to travel to Malaysia twice for field work in support of this research. He later repeatedly used his connections at high levels to help arrange interviews in Singapore and Johor. Prof. Susskind has shepherded me through a journey that began with a practicum in January 2015 and has culminated in this thesis. Much of the funding for this research came from the Malaysia Sustainable Cities Program. Dr. Kelly Heber-Dunning deserves my sincerest thanks for introducing me to Johor, connecting me to her network of friends there, and teaching me to love mangroves. I am especially grateful to Takeo Kuwabara for his assistance and friendship both in Cambridge and abroad. For coordinating and enabling the MIT-MSCP program, Bettina Urcuioli deserves my respect and gratitude. I also owe a great deal to Dr. Serina Rahman, who provided immense assistance throughout my field work in Malaysia. She helped arrange interviews with fishermen and served as an interpreter. Through Serina I was also able to visit the Forest City reclamation site several times to document its progress. Staff at IRDA, particularly Hana Badriah and Maimunah Jaffar, likewise deserve particular thanks for hosting me at the IRDA office during much of my first trip to Malaysia. They extended a warm welcome and helped facilitate a number of further connections. Dr. Runze Yu of Country Garden generously invited me to the Forest City global press conference in Singapore. Many others in Johor made my time there especially memorable. I would like to acknowledge Libbie Cohn, who also conducted research on Forest City as part of a separate collaboration. She helped arrange valuable interviews and provided essential translation assistance for Chinese-language materials. Finally, I am eternally grateful to my parents for their unwavering encouragement, support and love throughout my education. My father, Dr. Robin B. Williams, provided insightful editorial feedback and guidance. He continues to serve as a role model throughout my life.

  • How Pakatan Can Lead Nation to Non-Racial Politics Malaysiakini.Com June 28, 2012 by Boo Cheng Hau
    How Pakatan can lead nation to non-racial politics MalaysiaKini.com June 28, 2012 By Boo Cheng Hau COMMENT BN may wish to keep on denying this but we can't escape the fact that it is the BN's divisive politics that has made our society into one so racially charged. In the Umno-led coalition government of 13 race-based parties, ‘Malay nationalism' and dominance is touted as the only alternative to national unity. But is it really so? Can't we have another alternative? Under the purview of Umno's Malay nationalism, other races in the country are forced to form political parties along racial lines. If the dominant majority race insists on its brand of nationalism, wouldn't it be a natural development for other minority races to claim their each and separate nationalisms as well? Can our national unity be actually based upon racial politics along ‘separate nationalisms' or ‘political tribalism' which is how the late Yale University professor Leonard Thompson termed it in describing South Africa's apartheid? Do we want a single nation? Or do we want many divisive nations within our country? There can be no genuine national unity if the powers-that-be keep proclaiming nationalism based on the dominant race ideology to the exclusion of all else. British colonialists have long left the country but how far have we moved forward in terms of genuine national unity? Some senior Umno politicians and their ideologues have blamed poor national unity on the various streams of education while they are themselves unable to dissolve their own race-based political parties to be replaced by a pan-Malaysian party.

  • DAP Moves to Ease Fears Over Islamic State Malaysiakini.Com January 21, 2011
    DAP moves to ease fears over Islamic state Malaysiakini.com January 21, 2011 Following attempts by Umno and MCA to intimidate Chinese voters in Tenang with PAS' Islamic state agenda, DAP is moving to allay such fears, stressing that PAS is now a party that fights for all ethnic groups. "MCA is sleeping, thinking that it is still 1999 when people were afraid of an Islamic state. In fact, PAS is now talking about a welfare state and its battles for the benefit of all races," Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau said at a DAP dinner in Labis last night. "Umno is the one still talking racial politics. We don't call our home minister Hishammuddin (Hussein), we call him Kerismuddin because he always brandishes the keris." Besides Boo, other DAP leaders expressed their support for PAS at the RM50 a head fund-raising dinner attended by some 800 passionate Chinese supporters, where DAP also raised another RM4,555 in on-the-spot donations. DAP Rasah MP Anthony Loke rebutted MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek's statement earlier that Chinese who voted for PAS would be sending the Malay community the message that they were willing to accept the country as an Islamic state. "We will vote for PAS on Jan 30 for a fair and corruption-free government, not for an Islamic state. We vote to change the government, not merely for PAS, nor an Islamic state," Loke (right) said. The party youth chief then turned aggressive: "If we vote for Umno, it means that we accept Umno's continued oppression of us and allow the party to continue its extreme racial statements and behaviour." Islamic state is not Pakatan common policy His statement was echoed by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who pointed out that Penang, Selangor and Perak, which are ruled by Pakatan Rakyat, have not turned into Islamic states.

  • DAP to Contest 6 Parliamentary, 14 State Seats in Johor Bernama 17 April, 2013
    DAP To Contest 6 Parliamentary, 14 State Seats In Johor Bernama 17 April, 2013 JOHOR BAHARU, April 17 (Bernama) - The DAP will contest 6 parliamentary seats and 14 state assembly seats in Johor during the 13th general election (GE13). Announcing this Wednesday, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said the party will field ten new faces for state assembly seats and one new face for parliamentary seat. Kit Siang, who will contest Gelang Patah parliamentary seat said the DAP will field a Malay candidate, Mahdzir Ibrahim, in Tanjung Piai parliamentary seat. "Our candidates can trigger a political tsunami in Johor and Malaysia," he told a press conference to announce the DAP canddiate list for Johor flanked by Johor DAP chairman Dr Boo Cheng Hau. Dr Boo who will defend Skudai state seat said the party was confident of winning at least one parliamentary seat and half of the 14 state seats contested. "The selection of candidates was made after discussion with all parties," he said, adding that the candidate for Labis parliamentary seat will be announced soon. Among the DAP big names who will contest in Johor are strategist Liew Chin Tong (Kluang) and Teo Nie Ching (Kulai). In 2008, Liew contested in Bukit Bendera while Teo contested in Serdang. Mahdzir, 37, said he was the coordinator of DAP internal bulletin Roketkini together with central committee member Zairil Khir Johari. The Batu Pahat born denied that the DAP was "anti-Malay" and "anti-Islam " as often claimed by Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN). Asked about his chances of winning the Tanjung Piai seat, he said the Malay voters could accept DAP if given a clear explanation about the party's struggle.

  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV Rises Successfully to Malaysian Humidity
    MEDIA INFORMATION Putrajaya, November 7, 2015 2015/2016 FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP Putrajaya ePrix (Round 2) The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV rises successfully to Malaysian humidity The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV overcame difficult weather conditions to deliver consistent, competitive performance and grip throughout the day in Putrajaya, Malaysia, despite temperatures in excess of 30°C, a track temperature of almost 50°C and humidity levels of between 60 and 90 percent. Round 2 of the 2015/2016 Formula E ePrix featured the same format as 2014, with a 12-turn, 2.5km track and the start brought forward by two hours to 2:04pm local time in order to minimise the threat of wet weather. Indeed, torrential rain swept over the city an hour after the chequered flag was shown. The hot, damp conditions made the day hard not only for the drivers, but also for the battery of their all-electric single-seater racing cars. However, the teams knew they could count on their Michelin tyres which effectively proved a match for the challenge Excellence and versatility While all the teams are using the same chassis as least season, the latest technical regulations of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) now allow them to run their own motor, transmission and electronic management system. The rear suspension may also be modified, but the rest of the specification – including the battery – is identical to last season. Meanwhile, the FIA has authorised a power increase from 150kW to 170kW for the races, and from 170kW to 200kW in qualifying, and that has resulted in an improvement of around two seconds per lap at circuits like Putrajaya.
