Abstract:
Kuala Lumpur Knock-Out (henceforth to be known as “KL-KO”) is the second project of Kuali Works. KLKO is the most commercial performance staged by Kuali Works; this was the first time Kuali Works advertised its play in mainstream newspapers in the, as well as solid patronages from an impressive list of sponsors. Written and directed by Ann Lee, it was staged in Experimental Theatre, Kuala Lumpur in 1996. KL-KO revolves around the life of Tan Ai Leng (played by critically acclaimed dancer Mew Chang Tsing), a young Chinese woman from Penang who dreams of fighting Mike Tyson in an exhibitionboxing match in Kuala Lumpur. Simultaneously, her best friend Mazuri experience a rather unpleasant incident at her workplace. After 22 years, it is recompensing to look back at the relevance of the issues highlighted in this play. Simultaneously, one would realise that the elements of feminism discussed in this play are the real problems faced by women in this country, even after the new millennium.

Abstract:
Ross King’s Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya: Negotiating Urban Space inMalaysia provides a provocative interpretation of urban landscapes inKuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, a recently built government administrativecenter. He attempts to explicate meanings of the built urban environment aswell as its history, ideology, and contemporary possibilities.Consisting of a preface, five chapters, and an afterword, the book ishighly illustrated with pictures, sketches, maps, and architectural plans. Inthe preface, King introduces the dilemma of Malaysian nationalism, imagininga multicultural nation with a politically dominant Malay Muslimmajority, through the specter of the fiftieth anniversary of independence.He informs us that its two venues – Kuala Lumpur’s jumbled, multi-communityspaces and Putrajaya’s purely Malay pan-Islamic spaces – indicatesan ambivalent identity: Kuala Lumpur, “historically a Chinese town … istoday the capital of a nation that privileges the Malays” (p. xxiii). He immediatelymoves to selectively deconstruct Malay identity, stating that it is “inthe main a construction of the colonial era” during which people of diverseorigins from insular Southeast Asia migrated to the Peninsula (ibid). Thisoft-repeated assertion, which is a hotly contested topic in Malaysian discourse,indicates a slant toward the widespread Chinese Malaysian perspectivethat Malays are not the country’s true “natives.” King also states thathis focus will be to “read” the messages of architecture in terms of thingsobserved, imagined, forgotten, and potentially reconciled along with somehistorical background ...

Abstract:
The strong connection between people and place provides fodder for literary producers to create their works. In his anthology of poems Ruang Kota , Nassury Ibrahim draws upon Kuala Lumpur as the place that allows him to delve into the study of self and other people. Using psychogeography as an analytical tool, this article examines how Kuala Lumpur affects the mental states and behaviors of the people living in the heart of the urban city. Nassury’s poems deal with many aspects of life which include poverty, pollution and humanity. Other than his experiences, the poet uses the landscape of the city to express his own perspectives and feelings towards Kuala Lumpur. Based on the analysis, Kuala Lumpur is portrayed as a city that has developed materially but its dwellers benevolence and compassion have lessened greatly. His poems highlight urban poverty and poor urban planning in Kuala Lumpur which have led to poor quality of life in this cosmopolitan city. Keywords: psychogeography, urban poor, Kuala Lumpur Abstrak Hubungan erat antara sebuah masyarakat dengan tempat menjadi sumber inspirasi untuk pengkarya sastera menghasilkan karya. Dalam antologi Ruang Kota , Nassury Ibrahim memberikan tumpuan terhadap Kuala Lumpur sebagai lokasi yang menyerlahkan dirinya sebagai pengkaji kendiri dan masyarakat sekeliling. Dengan menggunakan psikogeografi sebagai lensa kritikan, makalah ini mengkaji kesan pembangunan Kuala Lumpur terhadap keadaan mental dan tingkah laku masyarakat yang tinggal di kota raya ini. Puisi Nassury memaparkan pelbagai aspek dalam kehidupan termasuklah kemiskinan, pencemaran dan kemanusiaan. Selain pengalaman beliau, Nassury telah menggunakan landskap kota tersebut untuk menitipkan perspektif dan perasaannya terhadap Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur digambarkan sebagai sebuah kota yang telah membangun secara material, akan tetapi sifat kebaikan dan belas kasihan penduduknya telah berkurangan dengan begitu ketara sekali. Puisi Nassury menunjukkan kesempitan hidup dan kualiti kehidupan yang rendah akibat kelemahan perancangan bandar yang memberikan kesan buruk kepada penduduk bandar kosmopolitan ini.

Abstract:
Research HighlightsIn the quest to develop cities for the long run, the debate is whether to retain elements of culture or to reinvent such spaces for new uses. Cultural heritage preservation thus becomes an issue in urban planning, particularly in developing countries including Malaysia (Mohd Shakir Tamjes et al, 2017). Scholars mention that Kuala Lumpur needs to create a distinctive city identity and image if it is to achieve its bigger goal of becoming a World-Class City by 2020 (Mohamad Asri Ibrahim et al, 2017). A question raised by researchers is whether the policies to safeguard heritage buildings in Kuala Lumpur is comparable to the practices in UNESCO heritage sites such as Malacca and Georgetown (Mohd Shakir Tamjes et al, 2017). Through participant observation, combining focus group discussions, content analysis, photography, and videography, I outline how the preservation of one particular historical building, a Chinese clan association, increases the cultural value of the city’s surroundings in Kuala Lumpur, as well as being a major tourist attraction. This makes the case for the continued retention of historical buildings and practices, despite overarching social changes such as super-diversity (Vertovec, 2007). Research Objectives This paper makes the case for preserving a particular heritage building, namely the Chan See Shu Yuen Clan Association Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (CSSYKL), a clan association, pre-war historical site, and tourist attraction. Methodology How does the preservation of CSSYKL increase the cultural value of the city’s surroundings in Kuala Lumpur? This research question is answered through fieldwork by the project leader through participant observation which included photography, videography, content analysis of secondary documents, and focus group discussions with clan leaders and members. Photographic evidence is provided to argue for the case of enriching place attachment through the retention of meaning for inhabitants of Kuala Lumpur, due to the special nature it possesses. For example, Monnet (2014) conducted a photoethnography of urban space in the form of a multimedia essay, referring to the “production of data” rather than the “collection of data”. Monnet (2014) explained that images and sounds allow for attentive observation of the smallest details of daily life, and that the ethnographer experientially chooses to interpret and define what should be recorded in their photography - hence the “production of data”. This renders photographic evidence the best form of data for the case of cultural heritage preservation within the urban. Photographs were also harvested from stills captured in Google Maps under the Street View, where the journey was screen captured using Game DVR, a software which comes enclosed with Microsoft Windows 10. Results The photographic evidence shows how the preservation of cultural heritage buildings add character to the presence of Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, or Petaling Street. In the case of CSSYKL, it provides the historical elements as well as familiarity given its longstanding association with Kuala Lumpur’s history, and thus evokes the symbolic aesthetic. It provides symbolic aesthetic meaning to the future of Kuala Lumpur’s development and enriches the local cultural expression in league with the Malaysian National Cultural Policy. Ultimately, it guarantees that no matter how developed or industrialised Kuala Lumpur is, what with the move into the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Internet of Things, there will still be cultural meaning and place attachment resonant within the heart and soul of Kuala Lumpur. Even in the face of super-diversity, the clan association building will still reinvent itself as a place of attachment not only to those of Chinese descent but to all who are interested to appreciate its value. Findings Chan See Shu Yuen Clan Association Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (CSSYKL) is one example of a historical building which functioned not only in the past as a community centre for the Chinese who migrated to Malaya in search of economic opportunity, but still retains its functions today as a gateway to maintaining links with Mainland China, especially in the economic dimension. Simultaneously, the heritage building also attracts tourists from all around the world, including those from China and local tourists themselves. Acknowledgement This research work is supported by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia under Grant Number FRGS/1/2018/WAB12/UKM/02/1 (Superdiversity Networks: Cantonese Clan Associations in Malaysia as Transnational Social Support System).

Abstract:
Overseas Indonesian schools in Kuala Lumpur were established to meet the educational needs of children of diplomats or local staff at the Indonesian representative office. In addition, it is also for children of Indonesian citizens who work in related countries and live in that country. Along with the high dynamics of community interaction between friendly countries, the Kuala Lumpur International School of Indonesia also functions as a balanced and comprehensive service for education and development of Indonesian culture in the local country. This research aims to determine how the Living Curiculum applies to the conditions of students and the environment at Kuala Lumpur Foreign Schools. This research was conducted qualitatively, namely using the perspective of the participants as an illustration in getting the results of the research. The results of the research at SIKL (Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur) apply a national curriculum but are tailored to the needs of students, especially those who live in Kuala Lumpur, why is that, because the conditions of students in Kuala Lumpur are different from those of students in Indonesia. The implementation of the Living curiculum or life curriculum at SIKL has two learning models, namely Learning at School (LAS) and Learning at Home (LAH). The Living curiculum application is carried out to create a new generation that is superior, intelligent and has a high national personality.

Abstract:
Today, every city is to some degree a postmodern city undergoing the process of postmodern urbanization. The postmodern urbanization process is defined by Soja as a summative depiction of the major changes that have been taking place in the last quarter of the twentieth century.’ It refers to something less than a total change, with continuity of modernism, but constitutes its own distinctive conditions (Soja (1994) in Gibson and Watson (ed); p126). There are six restructurings embedded in this process as demonstrated by Soja (1994) in his study of Los Angeles. The first restructuring entails the process of Deindustrialization and Reindustrialization’ in which the urban economic base has been transformed from industrial to informational, from Fordism to flexible accumulation. For urban theorists as well as policy-makers, there has been an awakening concern about the reindustrialization of urban economies as it has multifaceted effects on the city. One of these effects is argued by Castells (1987; pp 1-17) to be, economic restructuring and technological change’ which he suggests, are a major underlying cause of the changing spatial structure of the cities. In order to explore the theories above, I have chosen to see how urban property development is affected by the reindustrialization process. In view of the strong economic growth, in particular, the property development industry and the dynamic urbanization of East Asian cities, I chose to research the response of urban industrial and commercial property development to this first restructuring in Kuala Lumpur (K.L.). There are two focuses to this research. Firstly, I will take a small part of Soja’s analysis of postmodern city ie. the reindustrialization process and see how useful it is for understanding changes in the developing city of K.L.. Soja (1994 in Gibson and Watson; p126) argued that not just the advanced economies are reindustrializing, but all postmodern cities including Huddersfield, Wollongong, Kingston and Kuala Lumpur are experiencing postmodern urbanization which entails a reindustrialization of the urban economy. In the advanced cities, reindustrialization succeeded deindustrialization. By comparison, Kuala Lumpur city has not experienced deindustrialization. In this thesis, I take reindustrialization as a phenomenon that occurs in the specific context of recent eras. Hence, the issue is that given different initial conditions, will the same trends of reindustrialization occur in Kuala Lumpur.

Abstract:
The only national heavy commuter train system in Malaysia, called KTM Komuter, plays a major role in providing long journey rail-based public transport services to people from urban to suburban areas within the Klang Valley. Since its first operation in the mid-1990s, KTM Komuter has had the primary function of alleviating the negative impacts of car use, namely congestion and the associated environmental pollution. However, there are also issues of public transport users overcrowding circumferential links, railway stations, rail cars, bus stops and feeder buses, particularly during peak hours. As a result there is challenge of quality for KTM Komuter services with respect to capacity, service frequency, accessibility, connectivity, mobility, on board crowding and station service quality. This has resulted in this thesis examining the KTM Komuter’s level of service and overall service quality as perceived by the passengers. It hence aims to determine the optimal levels of KTM Komuter provision in terms of quantity and quality of service in an economical manner. To achieve this aim, several objectives of this research have been identified. The first is to model the travel behaviour of KTM Komuter users based on the Origin-Destination (O-D) survey results which will then attempt to demonstrate the practical values of the Generalised Journey Time (GJT) and Generalised Travel Cost (GTC) of the KTM Komuter operations. The second objective is to explore and identify the passengers’ daily personal perceptions, experiences, needs and situational influences of service quality attributes that best define a high quality rail service based on the factor analysis of the variables of service quality (based on Attitudinal surveys). The third is to evaluate service quality in the KTM Komuter systems by developing empirical, statistical models that will be called KOMIQUAL models to determine which of these variables have the greatest impact on KTM Komuter’s quality of service for a network of routes/corridors. The fourth research objective estimates the mean, median, maximum and minimum KTM Komuter passengers per hour for seven time periods based on the Passenger Boarding and Alighting survey results and to gauge optimal headway, optimal fleet size, optimal vehicle capacity and optimal pricing based on an Economic Optimization approach. The number of KTM Komuter train sets will be examined using the ROMAN-D software based on both the actual and design operating service frequencies. As a result, a better KTM Komuter Timetable and Public Timetable will be identified. Finally, policy recommendations are proposed to improve the quality of services of the KTM Komuter system. The key results of the O-D surveys depicted that there were high possibilities for Non-Motorized Transport (NMT)-Public Transport (PT) Integration with mode splits of 21% walk-and 40% PT for access and 39% walk and bicycle and 32% PT for egress. The corresponding mean access and egress travel distances including Walking and PT were 15.0 km and 13.1 km. respectively. The resulting values of the GJT and GTC were high suggesting the importance of these determinants in deterring passengers from choosing KTM Komuter as a main transport mode. For the results of the Attitudinal surveys, both the overall service quality and level of service were mostly rated as being fair by the KTM Komuter passengers. Improving parking facilities, increasing train efficiency, people services and space comfort were the main components out of nine input components (which also included train ambience, ticketing, information and station entry-exit systems, station quality, facilities, and rail structures) in the KOMIQUAL models that best defined high quality KTM Komuter service among KTM Komuter users. The values of mean, median, maximum and minimum KTM Komuter passengers per hour for seven time periods differed widely. The optimal fleet size, optimal vehicle capacity and optimal pricing resulted in two categories of peak period for KL Inbound namely 0630 – 1230 and 1630 – 2130 and these should be designed with the highest fleet sizes of approximately 28 and 21 respectively. Three categories of peak period for KL Outbound were noted namely 0630 – 0930, 1000 - 1300 and 1600 – 2100 and these should be designed with the highest number of fleet size of 28, 26 and 33 respectively. A capacity of up to 249 seats per train, including standees, should be provided for outbound services 1600 – 2100. By contrast, a capacity of up to 161 seats per train, including standees, should be provided for inbound services 0630 – 1230. The average value of the total optimal price is reported to be RM1.83. These average values of the total optimal price for both directions are found to be slightly lower than the yields or average fares per boarding from 2008 to 2013 ranging from RM1.90 in 2011 to RM2.40 in 2013. There will be no more fare reduction in future as the existing fares are considered quite cheap and new KTM Komuter fares for the Klang Valley sector should be structured based on the current rate of fare (or operating cost per day per passenger-km) of RM0.21. These models produced optimized service patterns (train frequency and capacity) and fares. A practical operating service headway should be 10 minutes during 0500 – 1630 hours and 15 minutes during 1630 – 2235 hours for both ways. Based on the findings, the conclusions are to improve the overall services of KTM Komuter. The implications are to define the interactions of KTM Komuter’s demand and supply in regard to a trade-off between economically efficient operation and adequate quality of service for the public which are very complex and require detailed analyses and decisions. Some of the policy recommendations to improve the quality of services of the KTM Komuter system include defining the future role for the KTM Komuter system, innovating KTM Komuter Business and regulating KTM Komuter services.

Abstract:
This study reviews the theoretical frameworks of the traditional models of the land development process with reference to land supply constraints. Using an institutional economics analysis framework (North, 1996), the study identifies the causes of land supply constraints and the ways in which they affect agents' decisions to supply land for development in the case study areas. The empirical work takes the form of a case study on the Malay Agriculture Settlement Reserve (MAS) areas in Kuala Lumpur. The research devises a contextual practical approach of the institutional land supply constraints with regard to formal and informal institutions (North, 1996; van der Krabben, 1995) and the way these restrict the supply of indigenous lands for developmental purposes in the case study areas. The research reveals the existence of the formal rules of restriction in interest of indigenous land rights, valuation principles for compensation to landowners, lengthy planning and development requirements and, informal agents' collective attitudes such as landowners' expectation of higher land price in the future, multiple landownership, preservation of land rights and own occupation restrict the transfer of indigenous lands in MAS areas for development purposes. Moreover, the way agents respond to formal and informal rules is through the exercise of their agency relations which determine and, hence, restrict the supply of land for redevelopment in MAS areas. The research revealed the difficulty to separate policy from agents' attitudes and agency relations. Landowners' attitudes, for example, are the direct consequences of formal land policy which form informal constraints affecting the release of land for development. However, the research shows that institutional economics analysis provides insights into the nature of various formal and informal constraints which affect the supply of land for development in the case study areas. Therefore, redevelopment of MAS areas requires a range of possible institutional solutions and should be implemented in an integrated way.

Abstract:
Durante las últimas dos décadas, una importante comunidad de jóvenes iraníes se han dirigido a Malasia y la India. Kuala Lumpur en Malasia y Pune en la India se han convertido en centros de acogida de las mayores comunidades iraníes en Asia actualmente. Sin embargo, en la década de 1980, a raíz de la Revolución Islámica y durante la guerra entre Irán e Irak, oleadas de iraníes se dirigían a Occidente, principalmente al sur de California, pero también a Alemania, Reino Unido, Suecia y Francia, pensando que su situación sería temporal. Los “refugiados” de la Revolución tenían sus maletas preparadas durante los para volver a casa tan pronto como las cosas volvieran a la normalidad. Sin embargo, la situación no se revirtió y miles de iraníes convirtieron a Estados Unidos y Europa en su hogar. Treinta años más tarde, un tema común de conversación en Irán son las formas adecuadas para salir del país. Así, trasladarse al extranjero se ha convertido en una obsesión para la juventud urbana de Irán pero, en estos días, no es tan fácil salir del país. Si en los días del Shah era fácil para alguien con un pasaporte iraní visitar Europa, hoy en día, debido a la situación política, se ha tornado en casi imposible conseguir una visa para el área de Schengen o Norteamérica, los destinos tradicionales para los iraníes. Las opciones para los jóvenes iraníes que quieren emigrar son limitadas, especialmente en el caso de que el lugar de destino sea en Occidente, lugares dónde la mayoría de gente elegiría ir ya que los países vecinos no suelen ser opciones que parezcan atractivas. Por tanto, durante las últimas dos décadas han surgido otros destinos como Malasia e India, principalmente a Kuala Lumpur y Pune. Si bien hay una gran cantidad de literatura sobre los iraníes que emigraron a Europa y Estados Unidos, muy poco se sabe acerca de las formas que adquieren las comunidades de jóvenes iraníes en estos lugares al este de Irán. El objetivo de esta tesis es visibilizar estas comunidades migrantes iraníes en Asia, explorando las trayectorias y percepciones de los jóvenes que arraigaron en Pune y Kuala Lumpur. Además, la tesis pretende observar las motivaciones para estas migraciones que, en muchas ocasiones, no tienen una motivación económica o únicamente económica.
Over the last two decades a sizable community of young Iranians have made their way to Malaysia and India. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Pune in India have become hosts to some of the biggest Iranian communities in Asia. In the 1980s, in the wake of the Islamic Revolution and during the Iran – Iraq war, waves of Iranians moved to the West. In general they presumed that their stay in the West, mainly in southern California, but also in Germany, the UK, Sweden and France, would be temporary They had their bags packed during the first few years, ready to return back home as soon as things would calm down. The situation did not reverse however, and thousands of Iranians made the US and Europe their home. 30 years later, a common topic of conversation in Iran is the ways available to leave the country. Moving abroad has become an obsession for the urban youth of Iran. However, these days it is not so easy to leave the country. In the days of the Shah it was easy for someone with an Iranian passport to visit Europe. Today, because of the political situation, it has become very difficult to get a visa for the Schengen area or North America – the traditional destinations for Iranians. The options for Iranians who want to emigrate are limited especially if they want to move to the West. The neighbouring countries are usually not options that appear attractive. However, during the last two decades other destinations have emerged and thousands of Iranians have moved to Malaysia and India, mainly to Kuala Lumpur and Pune as mentioned. While there is a wealth of literature on Iranians who emigrated to the West very little is known of the Iranians who left for countries east of Iran. In this thesis the trajectories and perceptions of young Iranians who left for India and Malaysia are explored.

Abstract:
Urban transport trends and issues in Kuala Lumpur have indicated that they are moving away from sustainability. Besides the conventional problems such as congestion, accidents, urban air pollution, there are signs showing mat social inequality and institutional problems are confronting the transport system in Kuala Lumpur. The above issues are not the natural outcome of development instead, they are related to specific social, economic and political policies. In view of the complexity and the great number of uncertainties, a backcasting scenario methodology has been adopted in this study to analyse the means of breaking the present trend. The overall aim of the research is to explore a wider perspective of possible future opportunities and policy options in order to achieve sustainable urban transport objectives in Kuala Lumpur. The sustainable urban transport policy has been formulated in four major steps (the central structure of scenario backcasting methodology). Firstly, the vision of the urban transport system in Kuala Lumpur has been defined, i.e. the one that provides affordable access to all levels of the community, and does so in an economically viable, environmentally sound and equitable manner. Secondly, policy targets have been identified in accordance with the vision. Then, three Images of the Future have been constructed to represent the alternative images. Finally, measures and policy packages have been developed to bridge the gap between the present and the future images. At every stage of the methodology, local transport experts were invited to contribute their inputs to the study as part of the validation process. The thesis concludes with an assessment of the three Images in relation to sustainability achievement and also their practicality in terms of implementation. It also recommends basic conditions and common measures to achieve a sustainable transport system in Kuala Lumpur. The contributions of this research are twofold. Firstly, it extends the frontiers of the existing transport policy considerations and formulation in Kuala Lumpur, and secondly, it demonstrates a novel application of backcasting scenario methodology to the sustainable urban transport field at the city level.

Abstract:
<p>This paper aims to provide an overview of the Saloma Link footbridge which includes the inception of the project, design, planning, construction and its impact as an integral part of the Kampong Bharu community. As part of the Malaysian’s government effort to redevelop the 121-year old Kampong Bharu village into a Malay Heritage Park, the Saloma Link Footbridge forms part of the key master plan that serves to increase accessability for pedestrians to travel to and from Kampong Bharu. With designs inspired by the traditional Malay custom of ‘Sirih Junjung’, this 69m footbridge was open to the public after 18 months of construction works. The commissioning of the Saloma Link footbridge has boosted pedestrian traffic flow into Kampong Bharu which in turn produced positive impact on local businesses as well as social integration with city dwellers in Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC).</p>
