Abdul Aziz Assistant Director Malaysian Highway Authority Km. 16, Jalan Serdang – Kajang 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT The first ETC system was implemented along 22km expressways in 1995 and as of today, the whole stretch of 1,459 km expressways are equipped with a single ETC system allowing for full interoperable. A Service Provider providing electronic payment service operates the system, not just for toll payment but also for payment of parking, public transportation fares. The journey towards achieving ‘single and interoperable ETC’ is started in 1994 and by July 2004, the system were implemented nationwide. During the earlier stage of ETC Development in Malaysia, various system and technology were introduced. The toll highway operators were actively involved in ETC development in Malaysia as they realized the needs to reduce cost of toll collection, capital investment savings, fraud elimination, faster journey time, increased fuel, less congestion and reduce pollution. The first ETC Technology implemented is 2.45GHz microwave in 1994 and another highway operator introduced the same technology in 1997. The system was further enhanced in 2001 to meet the international standard of 5.8GHz.

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.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications BLOGGING AND DEMOCRACY: BLOGS IN MALAYSIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Ming Kuok Lim © 2009 Ming Kuok Lim Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2009 The dissertation of Ming Kuok Lim was reviewed and approved* by the following: Amit M. Schejter Associate Professor of Mass Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard D. Taylor Professor of Mass Communications Jorge R. Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

  • The Influence of Hostel Servicescapes on Social Interaction and Service Experience
    SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT The Influence of Hostel Servicescapes on Social Interaction and Service Experience By Jasmine Zea Raziah Radha Rashid Radha A Dissertation Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2015 Declaration of Originality This thesis and the work to which it refers are the results of my own efforts. Any ideas, data, images or text resulting from the work of others (whether published or unpublished) are fully identified as such within the work and attributed to their originator in the text, bibliography or in footnotes. This thesis has not been submitted in whole or in part for any other academic degree or professional qualification. I agree that the University has the right to submit my work to the plagiarism detection service Turnitin UK for originality checks. Whether or not drafts have been so- assessed, the University reserves the right to require an electronic version of the final document (as submitted) for assessment as above. i Abstract Historically, hostels have been purposely designed to provide the kind of environment that fosters communication and interaction between guests. Hostel guests are typically provided with dormitory-type rooms, shared washrooms, a shared kitchen and communal living areas, thereby offering less privacy and more opportunity for interaction than other accommodation types. However, recent studies have highlighted that due to changes in backpacking trends, there are opposing views of how different aspects of hostel design and services contribute towards guests’ evaluation of their hostel stay. On the one hand, it is suggested that a hostel environment which encourages social interaction adds value to the service experience, while on the other hand an environment that offers extra privacy is more valued.

  • Statement of Need 3
    THE PROPOSED PAN ISLAND LINK 1 HIGHWAY PROJECT, PENANG CHAPTER STATEMENT OF NEED 3 3.0 Introduction From the macro perspective, economic growth can be seen to be increasingly related to the mobility of people, goods and information. This state of affairs strengthens the relationship between the extent and characteristics of the transport infrastructure and the level of economic development in a given area. Thus, high levels of development are commonly associated with high density road infrastructure and highly connected road networks. The transport sector is therefore an important component of economic development. Efficient road systems provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that results in positive multiplier effects such as better accessibility to markets, employment and additional investments. When road systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have economic costs such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life. However, there may also be unintentional consequences. For example, road traffic congestion is often an unintended consequence in the provision of transport infrastructure to the users. Nonetheless, congestion and its accompanying effects are also indications of a growing economy where capacity and infrastructure have difficulties keeping up with the rising mobility demands. Thus, road transport carries an important socio-economic and environmental burden that cannot be neglected. It is linked to producer, consumer and production costs. The mobility it confers are linked to a level of output, employment and income within the state’s economy. The importance of a good and efficient road infrastructure can thus be assessed for each sector of the economy.

Bhd., Malaysia 2 Civil Engineering Department, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Malaysia 3 Jabatan Kerja Raya, Kinta Daerah, Perak, Malaysia 4 TS Yee and Associates, Perak, Malaysia *Corresponding E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT One of the most significant breakthroughs in concrete technology at the end of the 20th century was the development of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with compressive strength and flexure strength beyond 160 MPa and 30 MPa, respectively; remarkable improvement in workability; durability resembled to natural rocks; ductility and toughness comparable to steel. While over the last two decades a tremendous amount of research works have been undertaken by academics and engineers worldwide, its use in the construction industry remain limited and it is particularly true in the Malaysian context. Aiming to utilizing the technology as an alternative for conventional solutions and within the vision of sustainable construction, it is the intent of this paper to demonstrate how UHPFRC can be used as both a sustainable and economic construction material. In general, UHPFRC structures are able to give immediate saving in terms of primary material consumption, embodied energy, CO2 emissions and global warming potential. The major focus of this paper is to present both the various completed and on-going examples of UHPFRC application in Malaysia. Keywords: Ultra high performance, Fiber, Bridge, Retaining wall, Bridges 1.0 INTRODUCTION Remarkable development had been discovered during the last two decades in the field of concrete technology.

  • Khazanah Welcomes Government Decision on PLUS PLUS Highway Toll Rates Reduced by 18%, Khazanah and EPF Remain Shareholders
    MEDIA STATEMENT Kuala Lumpur, 17 January 2020 Khazanah welcomes Government decision on PLUS PLUS highway toll rates reduced by 18%, Khazanah and EPF remain shareholders Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”) welcomes the Government of Malaysia’s decision for PLUS Malaysia Berhad (“PLUS”), which sees an 18% reduction on toll rates, and Khazanah and the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”) remaining as shareholders. The 18% toll rate reduction will be applicable on highways operated by PLUS, namely the North- South Expressway (“NSE”), North Klang Valley Expressway (“NKVE”), North–South Expressway Central Link (“ELITE”), Seremban-Port Dickson Highway, East Coast Expressway Phase 2 (“LPT2”), Second Link Expressway (“LINKEDUA”), Butterworth-Kulim Expressway and the Penang Bridge. The reduced toll rates will remain fixed throughout the concession period of the highways, which will be extended by 20 years from 2038 to 2058. In addition, all outstanding and future toll compensation will be waived, providing an estimated savings of RM42 billion for the Government. Khazanah will work closely with the Government and PLUS on the toll restructuring initiative announced today, to ensure that it is implemented effectively for the timely benefit of highway users, while maintaining the interests and rights of all key stakeholders, including holders of PLUS’ debt. Khazanah Managing Director Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan said: “We recognise the complexity in meeting the demands of multiple key stakeholders, especially the people of Malaysia. The decision to reduce the toll rates for PLUS highway users while providing considerable savings for the Government is a significant move. In addition, entrusting PLUS to its existing shareholders will ensure that the high standards of safety, comfort and convenience currently enjoyed by users will be maintained.
