Abstract:

Institutional charity is a charity trustee body appointed by the Islamic government for a state or country aimed at governing the collection and distribution of zakat and all related recipients. In Malaysia, zakat management is under the responsibility of His Royal Highness (HRH) Sultan or King. However, for those states that do not have the monarch as Melaka, Sabah, Sarawak and Penang, zakat management is under the responsibility of His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong (SPBA). In most states, the management and administration of charity performed by the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN) and the state government as a representative of each of the sultan or king. Even so, the state of Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor and Penang, management and administration is carried out by the institution's corporate charity.

Abstract:

This paper presents detection of climate change in Penang Island by using precipitation data based on interpolation technique. Climate change brings about vast and everlasting effects on all living creatures on the Earth. These effects are especially detrimental towards heritage sites, landscapes and businesses based in Penang Island, Malaysia. This study focuses mainly on investigating the indication of climate change in Penang Island over the period of 2003-2018 by utilising sound application procedures of proven analysis methods. Two deterministic interpolation methods are used to produce new estimation points based on the precipitation data to enrich the monitoring network of rainfall stations in Penang Island. Monthly and monthly-average precipitation maps for Penang Island are produced by using inverse distance weighting interpolation method. Results reveal that seven out of twelve months of a year show increasing precipitation trends over the period of study and March is the only month that shows a decreasing trend in precipitation. Monthly-average precipitation in Penang Island also displays a gradual trend of precipitation increase over the period of study, further conforming the finding of monthly precipitation increase over the period of study. The finding of this study provides insight for local agriculturists and ministry to make better decision in response to climate change in Penang.

Abstract:

The way of life of the Malay community cannot be separated from its traditional kampong or rural life, which forms the earliest template of life as family, community and nation, from the earliest stages to the developments of today. Changes over time have given rise to corresponding changes in the kampong, transforming them into advanced, modern towns and cities. This phenomenon occurred in Singapore and Penang, two cosmopolitan states of the Straits Settlements with close historical links. What occurred in Singapore may be discovered in Penang as well. The phenomena or dilemma of “cultural aridity” in Singapore may have similarities with the problem of “urban sprawl” in Penang. On this premis, initially the article discusses Hadijah Rahmat’s Kilat Senja . Do the socio-cultural issues of the Malay community in Singapore also occur in Penang? The answer to this question may be explicitly and implicitly resolved in Azmi Iskandar Merican’s work, Aci Patmabi . Subsequently the article raises and explores a variety of questions on the course of socio-cultural developments of the Malay community in Singapore and Penang. Keywords: socio-cultural issues, cultural aridity, urban sprawl, Singapore, Penang

Abstract:

A new, diminutive species of Rock Gecko, Cnemaspis shahruli sp. nov. from Penang Island, Penang; Pulau Jerejak, Penang; Pulau Pangkor, Perak; and the adjacent mainland at Sungai Sedim, Kedah was previously confused with juveniles of the sympatric, endemic species C. affinis (Stoliczka) on Penang Island. Cnemaspis shahruli sp. nov. is diagnosed from all other Southeast Asian Cnemaspis on the basis of several unique aspects of squamation, coloration, and body size. It is proposed that this new species has a more extensive mainland distribution than is presented here based on its southernmost record on Pulau Pangkor, Perak. A pattern of resource partitioning on the basis of body size, habitat, and activity period among sympatric species pairs of Cnemaspis is discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract Since the escalated industrialisation and urbanisation process began traffic congestion has been a serious problem in many Malaysian cities. One of the solutions for the traffic congestion is by promoting public transport. Public transport is needed to manage the transport in cities. In 2007, a corporate body owned by the Malaysian Government named Prasarana Malaysia, introduced the Rapid bus service in Penang. Currently, Rapid bus is the main public transport operator in Penang. However, the bus service had some setbacks and passengers had publicly voiced their dissatisfaction. Therefore, to encourage more people in using the public transport, a better public transport system should be provided and improved occasionally. Previous comprehensive studies were inadequate, and thus a detailed analysis of the bus service performance in Penang is needed. The Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) was chosen for guidelines. Based on reviews from journals and papers three (3) objectives which focused on service frequency, on time performance and passenger load factor were chosen for the study. The study was conducted to evaluate the bus service performance in Penang. The study results obtained the quality of service (QOS) of D for the Rapid bus service performance in Penang, which was regarded as satisfactory. This showed that buses in Penang needed to be greatly improved to change the passenger’s perceptions.

Abstract:

AbstractBeing the concluding part of the study on the Chinese in the nineteenth-century Straits Settlements, the inquiry has a twofold aim: to construct a social alignment pattern of the Chinese in Penang, and to compare the pattern with those in Singapore and Malacca. Altogether 14,500 names of donors from epigraphic sources were processed.The Penang Chinese exhibited a rather unique social alignment pattern in that the Hokkiens had been very active in a number of community oriented associations. Cases of cross-dialect-group participation were few, as compared to the other two settlements, for the various dialect groups in Penang, particularly the Hokkiens, were largely attracted to the inter-provincial associations. This was a unique social alignment pattern.The findings from Penang, together with those in Singapore and Malacca were used to reconstruct an unidimensional scale for measuring the system rigidity of Chinese voluntary associations.

Abstract:

AbstractFrom the early days when the Chinese immigrants started to arrive in Penang, until as recently as the first part of the 20th century, the Chinese had participated actively in the economic, social and political development of Penang. Among these pioneer immigrants, there was a group which was small and little noticed, compared to the commercially active traders, planters and laborers. Although not much written about, this group of individuals who contributed significantly to the educational and cultural development of the Chinese community in Penang was remarkably well captured in the book, Nanyang yingshu haixia zhimindi zhilüe (Gazetteer of the Nanyang British Straits Settlements), compiled by Song Yunpu, a Minguo (Republican period) merchant, and published around 1930. This article aims to study this particular group of Chinese in Penang by examining their aspirations and actions, to bring about an awareness of their influence and contribution.

Abstract:

Of the eleven states in West Malaysia, it may be said that Penang presents a somewhat different situation from the other ten in terms of demography, economics, geography and politics, to mention a few basic features. Situated in the northern part of the country, the state of Penang (which comprises the island and a narrow strip, Province Wellesley, on the mainland) does not exhibit the features of a typical Malay state—a Malay-majority population, a predominantly Malay agricultural economy and a Malay Mentri Besar (Chief Minister) leading a Malay-dominated State Assembly which governs the state for the sultan, the symbol of Malay political power. Instead it has a Chinese-majority population, an economic infrastructure based primarily on commerce and trade rather than agriculture and a Chinese Chief Minister leading a Chinese-dominated State Assembly.In contrast to the other Malay states, the central political role in Penang is played by the Chinese community. Whichever political party is aspiring to come to power in the state must have significant Chinese electoral support.Against the background of a Malay-dominated Federal Governmentstriving to ensure uniformity of political, cultural, linguistic and socio-economic goals, Penang poses a challenging situation.

Abstract:

AbstractAn enduring question with regard to the voluntary sector is how it can nurture civic engagement and provide public goods. A World Heritage listing for Penang highlights this question by revealing a vibrant civil society network that has made heritage conservation an issue for public discourse and policy agenda. This paper discusses how the marginalized trajectory of Penang is related to the development of its civic realm, social cohesion and local identity, which are sources of Penang's voluntarism. It then examines the engagement pattern of the Penang Heritage Trust, a leading association, which has mounted resistance against the state's failure in heritage provision. This bottom-up approach has preserved Penang's cultural heritage and associated identity, and reveals the distinct nature and capacity of Penang's voluntary sector that goes against the general pattern in Malaysia.

Abstract:

Long-term water contamination, including heavy metals, may harm the reputation of the location. Because of this, it is necessary to do regular water quality checks. In light of the high expense of instrument monitoring, biomonitoring based on enzymes is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. For the purpose of this investigation, a molybdenum-reducing enzyme from the Serratia marcescens strain DRY6 that is sensitive to the heavy metals was used to build a quick inhibitory enzyme assay. The bacterium's molybdenum-reducing activity is extremely vulnerable to heavy metals. With the help of the established assay, heavy metals were detected in water samples collected in Malacca, Penang, and Perak. A number of sampling locations in Penang were found to be inhibiting enzyme activity, while all sampling locations in Malacca and Penang were confirmed to be free of high heavy metal concentrations. The Malaysian Department of Environment has set a maximum permissible limit for the suppression of Mo-reducing enzyme activity in Penang. Detection of heavy metals can be done in less than ten min at room temperature. The entire procedure takes less than 20 min. a first screening procedure or even a near real-time method for routine monitoring of heavy metals, assay is quick and straightforward.

Abstract:

AbstractTotal suspended sediment (TSS) plays a significant role in the environment. Many researchers show that TSS has a high correlation with the red portion of the visible light spectrum. The correlation is highly dependent on geography of the study area. The aim of this study was to develop specific algorithms utilizing corrected MODIS Terra 250-m surface reflectance (Rrs) product (MOD09) to map TSS over the Penang coastal area. Field measurements of TSS were performed during two cruise trips that were conducted on 8 December 2008 and 29 January 2010 over the Penang coastal area. The relationship between TSS and the surface reflectance of MOD09 was analysed using regression analysis. The developed algorithm showed that Rrs are highly correlated with the in-situ TSS with R2 is 0.838. The result shows that the Rrs product could be used to estimate TSS over the Penang area.

Abstract:

Previous researchers’ general impression inferred that western colonialists contributed to the decline of waqf practice in the Muslim world. However, whether this statement is accurate in the case of the British colonial rule in Penang is uncertain. This research paper reviewed waqf practice in Penang under the British colonial rule. This paper also discussed how the colonial rule influenced and impacted waqf development in the state. Due to the nature of the study, doctrinal legal research methodology was employed, which involved examining law cases, legal provisions, policy documents, books, journal articles, and working papers. This study found that the British colonialists did not abolish waqf but improved its practice according to English trust and charitable laws. Unlike other colonialists, waqf practice under British rule in Penang had flourished, albeit with some flaws. The authors are convinced that this writing will provide a balanced perception of the colonialists and their hidden purpose in occupying the Malay states.

Abstract:

Until recently, it was believed that Hydrilla verticillata, a widespread aquatic weed, did not generally produce seeds. There were reports that the monoecious biotype from the U. S. was sometimes capable of producing viable seeds, although these were not described in any detail. Recent work at the USDA ARS Aquatic Weed Research Laboratory, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, identified a monoecious biotype of H. verticillata from Penang Island (Malaysia) that is self-fertile and reliably produces viable seed. This biotype may also be crossed with other biotypes including the female dioecious plant from Florida. This work was undertaken to describe the anatomical characteristics of seeds and developing seedlings, using light and electron microscopy.Seeds and seedlings of the Penang Island biotype and Florida X Penang Island cross were processed for light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fixed and fresh material was used. Seeds and seedlings were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% gluteraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. and dehydrated to 100% ethanol.

Abstract:

The effects on climate change and environment, sustainability in transportation should be the primary goal of every transportation systems. The city of Penang is failing to cope with the old transportation infrastructure due to the rapid economic growth and the boost of migration for work. The involvement of stakeholders in the deliverance of mass transport services is necessary to meet public needs. The findings from the case study reveal that Penang is in an acute need for a well-connected and robust sustainable transport system. The current structure of creating government policies is inadequate for the handling of the congestion along with policies it needs integration of the transport systems with rail systems. The authors propose that the adoption of a Public Value measurement framework can significantly improve the desired outcomes. The framework enables public managers to understand the needs of citizens and deliver a right balance of infrastructure development and amendments needed in policy that can help Penang achieve a value-based sustainable transportation system.

Abstract:

This study highlights that the British had long experiences in the Malay Peninsula before Francis Light’s acquisition and development of Penang, due to the central role of Malayan ports such as Kedah, Takuapa, Langkasuka, Terengganu, Palembang, Siak, and Malacca in global trade between China and India. Under the influence of Islam, Malacca (and, to a lesser extent, Kedah) became a Muslim Sultanate and reached its peak in this trading network, which attracted European traders (and subsequent colonialism), initially from Portugal and Spain, and later France, the Netherlands, and Britain. After the East India Company attained hegemony in India, it was strongly placed to extend its power from its presidencies in Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. The EIC’s main focus was Bengal, where the Company founded the Fort William College as its headquarters in Calcutta. As trade with China became more important, the Malay Peninsula commensurately became a more attractive destination for investment due to its closer proximity to the Chinese sea lanes, and closer access to the Indo-Malay hinterlands and their products. In 1784, the EIC sent Kinloch to Aceh but he was unsuccessful in negotiating to establish a factory there. Nevertheless, they succeeded in establishing a foothold in Malaya with Francis Light’s embassy to Riau, Kedah, and Penang. Kedah also became prosperous under the Muslim Sultanates. Many Chinese and Indian merchants were settled there, benefitting from the trade in jungle products like camphor, betelnut, bird nests, situated near the Kedah River, was identified as a strategic location. Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Abidin Muazzam Shah II of Kedah (r. 1710-1778) at that time was facing many internal as well as external conflicts. His son Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah (r. 1778-1797) also suffered the same fate. As a result of internal crisis and dynastic intrigues, he agreed to lease Penang to the EIC in exchange for military assistance in 1785. In July 1786, Francis Light sailed from Calcutta and reached Penang in August, and thus Penang became an EIC stronghold.

Abstract:

Management of waqf properties by Penang State Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) as sole trustee of waqf has faced many challenges that need to be identified before any proposal on the development of the properties can be implemented. Hence, the proposed development may properly be realized and will achieve the waqf purposes. This article focuses on the challenges faced by MAINPP in the management of waqf properties in Penang. The data was collected through an analysis of the Penang State Waqf Report, published by Penang State Mufti Department, and supported by an interview with the Head of Waqf Unit of MAINPP. The study has identified four main challenges: Firstly, misunderstanding in the society regarding the role of MAINPP as sole trustee of waqf properties. Secondly, the leasehold status of endowed lands. Thirdly, legal disputes arising out of endowed lands. Fourthly, interference of heirs in management of waqf properties. The study concluded that it is important for stakeholders to scrutinize these challenges while planning for waqf properties development in Penang.
