This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Malaysia contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography.

Download or read book Modernity Nation and Urban Architectural Form written by Shireen Jahn Kassim and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Malaysia, as a multicultural modern nation, has approached issues of nationalism and regionalism in terms of physical expression of the built environment. Ever since the nation’s post-Colonial era, architects and policy makers have grappled with the theoretical and practical outcomes of creating public architecture that effectively responds to traditions, nationhood and modernity. The authors compile and analyse prevailing ideas and strategies, present case studies in architectural language and form, and introduce the reader to tensions arising between a nationalist agenda and local ‘regionalist’ architectural language. These dichotomies represent the very nature of multicultural societies and issues with identity; a challenge that various nations across the globe face in a changing environment. This topical and pertinent volume will appeal to students and scholars of urban planning, architecture and the modern city.

This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing and maintaining a disciplined management system provides any organization with a blueprint for exceptional performance and success. Indeed, for larger multinational corporations, a management system is a critical component for sustainable growth and performance management. In this book, the authors discuss a series of fundamentals for creating an operationally excellent management system (OEMS). The book also examines the business performance impact of an OEMS across leading gas and oil organizations, such as Exxon Mobil, BP, Suncor, and Chevron. In 7 Fundamentals of an Operationally Excellent Management System, the authors discuss each fundamental in detail and provide the supporting training and workshop materials that are essential for integrating these fundamentals into the business processes of the organization. The seven fundamentals identified by the authors provide a sequential approach for developing and executing an OEMS across any organization. Integrating sound organizational and business practices with personnel and process safety management principles, the book is an invaluable resource for organizations seeking operational discipline and excellence. Well-supported with graphics and practical examples, the book provides a simple pathway for an organization to evolve its management system into an OEMS designed to reduce workplace incidents and improve business performance on a sustainable basis. The management system principles discussed in the book are intended for the business leader who is motivated to transition his or her organization from ordinary, through best in class, to an organization of world-class stature and performance.

Download or read book British Colonial and Post colonial Attitudes to Architecture and Heritage Conservation in Malaysia with Reference to the Works of Mubin Sheppard written by Zuraini Md Ali and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia, after more than fifty years as an independent nation, is one of the most progressive countries in architectural development in South East Asia. In the last three decades, a conscious appreciation of architectural conservation has been established in the country. This study aims to provide a framework for the history and development of the architectural conservation movement in Malaysia, since a large vacuum exists in this area. Using the historical interpretive method, a qualitative examination of case studies and leading prominent personnel has provided historical documentation and useful insights. This thesis attempts to give a chronological account of the development and origins of Malaysian architectural conservation efforts, with particular reference to the role of the late Tan Sri Mubin Sheppard, catalyst and leading promoter of conservation activities, who became the focus of this research. Thus, Sheppard's contribution to the fledgling heritage conservation movement is examined against the background of the establishment and involvement of government agencies, primarily the Museums Department under the British Empire from the 1880s till the newly-implemented National Heritage Act 2005. The research starts with a brief review of Sheppard's life - in particular, his work in Malaya (later Malaysia), followed by a literature review of the historical survey of conservation organisations in the United Kingdom (the British colonial motherland) to see the influence of past events and conservation practices at the time. This thesis then examines Sheppard's contributions to notable Governmental agencies. i.e. the Department of Museums (DoM). and Non-Governmental Organisations. namely the Malayan (later Malaysian) Historical Society (MHS) and Budan Warisan Malaysia (BWM or The Heritage of Malaysia Trust). The major sources of information include accessible reports. relevant newspaper articles and journal collections in the archives and libraries in Malaysia and the United Kingdom, and in particular. documents belonging Sheppard in the National Archives of Malaysia, the University of Cambridge Library and the National Archives in the UK. Studies on selected conservation projects that Sheppard participated in (notably Istana Ampang Tinggi. Masjid Kampong Laut and Istana Tengku Nik), interviews and correspondence with individuals from organisations Sheppard was involved with (MHS, DoM and BWM) and visits to the sites were conducted. The research has been partly limited by bureaucratic restrictions and the confidentiality of materials available in Malaysia. The findings from this research give a new perspective and provide new knowledge on architectural conservation in the country and delineate a significant historical path for others to follow in understanding the crucial issues and challenges faced by those who carried out conservation projects in the early years in Malaysia.

Download or read book Architecture and Urban Form in Kuala Lumpur written by Yat Ming Loo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, is a former colony of the British Empire which today prides itself in being a multicultural society par excellence. However, the Islamisation of the urban landscape, which is at the core of Malaysia’s decolonisation projects, has marginalised the Chinese urban spaces which were once at the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Engaging with complex colonial and postcolonial aspects of the city, from the British colonial era in the 1880s to the modernisation period in the 1990s, this book demonstrates how Kuala Lumpur’s urban landscape is overwritten by a racial agenda through the promotion of Malaysian Architecture, including the world-famous mega-projects of the Petronas Twin Towers and the new administrative capital of Putrajaya. Drawing on a wide range of Chinese community archives, interviews and resources, the book illustrates how Kuala Lumpur’s Chinese spaces have been subjugated. This includes original case studies showing how the Chinese re-appropriated the Kuala Lumpur old city centre of Chinatown and Chinese cemeteries as a way of contesting state’s hegemonic national identity and ideology. This book is arguably the first academic book to examine the relationship of Malaysia’s large Chinese minority with the politics of architecture and urbanism in Kuala Lumpur. It is also one of the few academic books to situate the Chinese diaspora spaces at the centre of the construction of city and nation. By including the spatial contestation of those from the margins and their resistance against the state ideology, this book proposes a recuperative urban and architectural history, seeking to revalidate the marginalised spaces of minority community and re-script them into the narrative of the postcolonial nation-state.
