  • Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia
    4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M.

  • First Step of Many to Repair the Judiciary
    First step of many to repair the judiciary Q: What is your opinion of this bill? * A: It's a step in the right direction, but there should have been a consultation process in coming up with the bill. There is also the issue of the missing Judges' Code of Ethics 2008, which we have yet to see. There are several short-comings with the bill. The first is that there is no procedure for lodging a complaint against a judge. Lim Chee Wee There is also insufficient provision the actual judges' ethics committee's investigative and adjudicative process. And in terms of accountability, there should be a requirement for the publication of an annual report with the number of complaints lodged, how many are disposed of and action taken on a no-name basis. lf one were to compare this with other jurisdictions in terms of international best-practices, for example, the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada, these are the basics that they have in their judicial conduct process. And l think Britain has taken it one step further where they have a Judicial Appointments and Conduct Ombudsman, which actually looks at the Official of Judicial Complaints process and ensures that the Office of Judicial Complaints itself is performing. Q: lf all So,the in shortcomings Britain, you have were an addressed, investigative would body thisand bean oversighta comprehensive body as well. bill?

Mostafa Rasoolimanesh, School of Housing, Building, and Planning, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia. Tel: 60-4-653-5278. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 15, 2014 Accepted: September 17, 2014 Online Published: October 30, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n22p29 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n22p29 Abstract Lenggong Valley was recognised as a World Heritage Site in June 2012. The literature highlights the importance of community engagement in conservation programmes. Principally, the involvement of young people is necessary to facilitate heritage management programmes. The readiness of youth to engage can be measured from their awareness and willingness to participate. For this study, we administered questionnaire surveys to 175 respondents from three secondary schools in Lenggong. The results revealed a low level of awareness and a lack of willingness for participation. In addition, the findings suggest an uncertain correlation between awareness and willingness for participation among youth. Keywords: awareness, community engagement, Lenggong valley, World Heritage Site (WHS), youth, willingness 1. Introduction Heritage is frequently defined as our inheritance from the past, what endures into the present, and what continues into the future; allowing generations to gain knowledge, wonder at and benefit from (UNESCO, 1998, 2002).

  • The Entity – Identity Relationships of Old Shop Houses in Perak Through Facade Design
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 18 ISSUE 3 (2020), Page 51 – 70 THE ENTITY – IDENTITY RELATIONSHIPS OF OLD SHOP HOUSES IN PERAK THROUGH FACADE DESIGN Mohd Jaki Mamat¹ & Muhammad Firzan Abdul Aziz² 1,2School of Housing, Building and Planning UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA Abstract Since the 19th century, old shop houses remaining in Malaysia have been a primary indicator of the country’s physical landscape which can inform significant historical background of early cities and towns. The old shop houses testify in the uniqueness and diversity of the nation’s architectural gems, which were shaped by the Malay, Chinese and British entities. The current study attempts to understand the influence of varying entities towards the architectural identities that the old shop houses’ facade bear. Purposive sampling of 16 towns in the state of Perak was made to gauge information on the earliest row of shop houses at each of the towns. Both secondary and primary data were then leveraged based on documents analysis, interviews and measured drawings to explore the relationship link between the entities and identities through the old shop houses’ facade design. The findings suggest that there is a relationship between the entities and identities, in the sense that the early entities were influential in determining the identities of the old shop houses’ facade design. Interestingly, the Malay style was found to be the most dominant identity depicted by the facade design of the old shophouses from the 16 towns of Perak. Keywords: Shophouses, facade, entity & identity 1 Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Mohd Jaki Mamat¹ & Muhammad Firzan Abdul Aziz The Entity – Identity Relationships of Old Shop Houses in Perak Through Facade Design INTRODUCTION Construction project is not simply restricted to the new buildings only but it also includes restoration and maintenance of existing building.
