Abstract (sommario):

In Malaysia what was at first Standard English has over time changed and a variety called Malaysian English has arisen. This variety of English is full of colloquial expressions and the grammar also differs slightly from that of Standard English. This paper surveys Malaysian speakers’ attitudes towards Malaysian English and Standard English. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results show that the informants consider Malaysian English useful for informal and everyday communication whereas Standard English is more useful for international communication as well as more formal purposes. A good command of Standard English is still regarded as important. It became evident that while the informers were aware of Malaysian English and its linguistic characteristics, identifying them in written sentences was not easy. The informants’ attitudes towards Malaysian English and Standard English showed that one variety does not have to exclude the existence of the other.
Vad som först var standardengelska har i Malaysia över tid ändrats och en ny variant kallad malaysisk engelska har växt fram. Denna variant av engelska är full av lokala uttryck och grammatiken skiljer sig delvis från standardengelskans. Denna studie undersöker talares attityder till malaysisk engelska och standardengelska med hjälp av en enkät. Resultaten visar att malaysisk engelska är användbar för informell och vardaglig kommunikation medan standardengelska är mer användbar för internationell samt mer formell kommunikation. Att behärska standardengelska anses fortfarande vara viktigt. Det blev tydligt att även om informanterna var medvetna om malaysisk engelskas lingvistiska särdrag så var det inte helt enkelt att identifiera dem i skrivna meningar. Informanternas attityder till malaysisk engelska och standardengelska visade att en variant inte nödvändigtvis utesluter den andra.

Abstract (sommario):

This research has addressed gaps in knowledge relating to environmental experiences of Malaysian adolescents in two neighbourhoods in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. This thesis discusses how the adolescents' experiences may differ from adults' assumptions and planning. The study begins by highlighting current issues relating to adolescents and urban open space planning and design in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Survey questionnaires were used as a research tool to reveal adolescents' time use and environmental experiences of their housing area, neighbourhood and the city. The time use not only revealed their activities but also places they liked or valued and their ideal housing neighbourhood environment. Time use data diaries and interviews were used to verify the data from the questionnaire and to seek more specific data of what they wanted from their outdoor environment. The findings of the research elucidate that there were both similarities and differences in Malaysian adolescents' use of their outdoor environment across different ethnic backgrounds, genders and ages. It is concluded that inadequacies existed in current Johor Bahru urban planning in addressing the needs of the adolescents. Furthermore, from this study, the Malaysian adolescents assigned attributes or specific criteria to the facilities and spaces they wanted within their housing area, neighbourhood and the city. The facilities and spaces they wanted were linked to their physical and social activities which they would like to do. The attributes assigned by the Malaysian adolescents are elements of play, variety, ambience, size, safety, fun and excitement, challenge, walkable, aesthetic and green, sociability, accessibility, intelligent and possessing affordances for sports activities. Based on the research findings, this study outlines recommendations for Malaysian housing and neighbourhood landscape in relation to adolescents' needs. Early consideration of adolescents' needs should be incorporated in the planning and design process. One of the recommendations should include providing opportunities for Malaysian adolescents' participation to determine their needs for facilities and spaces in housing area and the city during the planning and design stage.

Abstract (sommario):

This study examines the extent and patterns of supermarket use in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia and the town of Alor Star, a small town in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 436 household heads were interviewed for the study. Although the supermarket was first introduced in Malaysia in 1964, the study revealed that the adoption of supermarkets among respondents was still low. Even in the high income residential areas, the percentage of respondents that could be classified as heavy users was less than 50%. However, the percentage of heavy users was found to be significantly higher in high and middle income residential areas than that of low income residential areas. The study also showed that there were different patterns of food shopping behaviour among respondents. Perishable food is commonly bought from wet-markets, staple food is normally purchased from neighbourhood grocery stores while processed food is mainly bought from supermarkets. Log-linear analysis showed that car-ownership has the strongest influence on the extent of supermarket use. Among the three major ethnic groups the Chinese were found to have the strongest tendency to patronize supermarkets. On the other hand the Malays were found to have the lowest tendency to become heavy supermarket users. The results of this study could be seen as useful, first, to supermarket operators in Malaysia in planning their marketing strategies. Consumer profiles associated with heavy supermarket users may be used as a basis for market segmentation. Secondly, it is useful to the government in its modernisation process of retail outlets, particularly in smaller towns, which should proceed slowly and with care. The urgent need of the food retail system today is the improvement and modernisation of the present wet-market system, where fresh food should be sold efficiently in a more hygienic environment.

Abstract (sommario):

Recent developments in governmental accounting show a shift from the traditional cash basis towards the accrual basis of accounting. New Zealand and Australia for example, have already adopted accrual accounting for the whole of government reporting. This study aims to describe governmental accounting and reporting in Malaysia; trace its development; identify the factors that play major roles in its development; and seek opinions on the current governmental accounting and reporting practices in Malaysia. The study also examined the variables identified in Lüder's contingency model and the impact these might be expected to have on developments in governmental accounting in Malaysia. The study contributes towards the knowledge and comparative research in governmental accounting by providing a description of governmental accounting in Malaysia and extending the application of Lüder's contingency model to the Malaysian government. The primary research on which this study is based was undertaken through three stages. The first stage consisted of archival research, which examined the practices and development of governmental accounting in Malaysia. The second stage was a questionnaire survey of 77 accountants in the federal and state governments aimed at obtaining opinions on issues related to the current development in accounting and reporting practices and the prospect for accrual accounting in the Malaysian government. The final stage was a series of interviews with senior officers in the Accountant General's Department, the National Audit Department, Treasury, government agencies and professional bodies to gain further insights and supplement the results of the questionnaire survey. Although the basis for governmental accounting in Malaysia is modified cash, accrual accounting was also adopted for internal purposes and for providing financial information required by international creditors. The respondents to the surveys indicated that the current reporting is sufficient for decision-making and accountability. The existence of financial crisis did not exert enough force to create a change in the government accounting system. The societal and administrative structural variables were unfavourable for innovation. The costs to implement a new system would be high, which include costs of training and new infrastructures.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

It is generally assumed that by virtue of s. 5 of the Civil Law Act 1956 (Malaysia), which deals with the application of English law, the law of insurance in Malaysia follows strictly the law of England either as it stood on 7 April 1956 (for the states of Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Trengganu and Selangor) or as it stands currently (for the states of Penang, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak). Whilst this is essentially correct, there are several factors which result in the development and application of some divergent principles. This thesis seeks to trace the general body of insurance law which has developed in Malaysia. It starts with a historical account of the insurance industry in the country. This is followed by ten chapters dealing with the main aspects of the substantive law. In these chapters, an attempt is made to highlight any noticeable departure from the statute law or common law of England. Such a departure may be due to the fact that the relevant law in Malaysia differs from that in England, for example the provisions of the Contracts Act 1950 (Malaysia) in relation to contractual formalities. Again, the provisions of the Insurance Act 1963 (Malaysia) in relation to insurable interest differ from the English common law. Moreover, Malaysian judges have interpreted and applied the common law in ways which do not always mirror English developments. Even where there are almost identical statutory provisions, such as those in relation to trusts of life policies, there may be problems which are unique to Malaysia because of the different personal laws of its peoples. The next chapter deals with Compulsory Third Party Motor Insurance which is the most important branch of general insurance in the country. The thesis then describes the introduction of a parallel system of insurance, ie. the Islamic system of insurance in the country, a development in Malaysia and a few other Muslim countries. The final chapter looks at how Malaysia, as a developing country, regulates its insurance industry.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis concerns building energy simulation for Malaysian conditions. The simulations were done using IES software. Hourly weather data required by the program were prepared from weather data obtained from the Malaysian Meteorological Office. A Typical Weather Year was developed by statistical selection from 19 years of daily weather data from 1980 to 1998. Four weather variables (dry bulb temperature, global solar radiation, relative humidity and wind speed) were considered in the selection. The selection was done purely using Finkelstein-Schafer statistics. Typical Weather Year hourly data was generated from the daily values because the available hourly data was incomplete. The generation applied models that were created using one year of hourly data (1998). The direct and diffuse solar radiation data required by the simulation program were lacking and therefore estimated by a model from the hourly global radiation. A model was developed from 1992 hourly solar radiation data but was unsatisfactory. The same data was used to select from among established models, and it was found that Lam's model was the most suitable for Malaysian conditions. A parametric study on the annual cooling load of a Malaysia office reference building revealed that the most important parameters of those studied are window-to-wall ratio, inside air set point temperature and occupancy density. This study also developed an annual energy model equation for the building using the multiple regression technique. Simulation of an actual building using a conservative value for air conditioning COP found that the simulated energy index was about 5% lower than the value stated in an energy study report. This supported the report, which stated that the building consumed more energy than it should. Energy regression model was applied to the actual building and it was found that the predicted cooling load was 17% lower than the simulated value. The difference is probably due to the effect of factors not considered in the model. Despite this difference, the energy model can be applied as simple tool for estimating the annual cooling load of an office building in Malaysia.

Abstract (sommario):

Der Klimawandel hat weitreichende Folgen auf die Gesundheit der Menschen. Insbesondere Übertragungskrankheiten wie Dengue bekommen global gesehen eine zunehmende Bedeutung. Über die raumzeitliche Verteilung und das Umwelt-Dengue Risiko ist bisher wenig bekannt. Das Hauptziel dieser Dissertation war es daher, die Ätiologie von Dengue in einem hoch endemischen Gebiet besser zu verstehen. Es wurden räumliche Muster des Krankheitsauftretens untersucht, die anschließend in einer Umwelt-Risiko Analyse mit örtlichen Wetterdaten und Landnutzungsinformationen in Zusammenhang gebracht wurden. Zunächst wurde ein raumzeitlicher Ansatz durchgeführt, um herauszufinden, in wie weit Analysen, die verschiedene Aggregationsebenen miteinander kombinieren, zu neuen Erkenntnissen von raumzeitlichen Mustern von Dengue beitragen können. Anschließend wurde ein auf nicht-lineare zeitliche Einflüsse kontrolliertes, Poisson-generalisiertes additives Regressionsmodell genutzt, um herauszufinden, welchen Einfluss Wetterparameter auf die Verbreitung von Dengue haben. Schließlich wurden Boosted regression trees verwendet, um auf nicht-lineare Zusammenhänge und Interaktionen zwischen einzelnen Landnutzungsfaktoren und Dengue zu kontrollieren und um eine Risikokarte zu erstellen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass mehr als eine geographische Ebene notwendig ist, um Krankheitscluster zu bestätigen. Minimaltemperatur, Regenmenge, und Windgeschwindigkeit waren mit der Verbreitung von Dengue im Untersuchungsgebiet assoziiert. Räumliche Dengue-Muster konnten durch Siedlungen, Wasser, gemischte Landwirtschaftsflächen, offene Flächen und stillgelegte Grünflächen erklärt werden. Dengue-Risiko ist auf der Ergebniskarte des Studiengebietes ersichtlich. Diese Dissertation liefert sowohl wertvolle Informationen für die Gesundheitspolitik in Malaysia als auch wichtige Herangehensweisen für die Entwicklung von Dengue-Kontrollmechanismen in und über die Untersuchungsregion hinaus.
Global changes to our earth system have impacts on human health; specifically vector-borne diseases such as dengue are of epidemiological importance. Dengue is a global disease burden. Little is known about the spatio-temporal distribution and environmental risk association of dengue disease. The main goal of this dissertation was to improve understanding of the etiology of dengue disease in a highly endemic region by focusing on, initially, vulnerability mapping of the disease occurrences and, next, environmental risk assessment between disease clusters and both weather and land use. First, a Spatio-temporal scan statistics approach was used to assess to what extent analyses that combine sub-district and address level data contribute to new insights into spatio-temporal dengue disease patterns to better inform health interventions. Second, a Poisson generalized additive model was used to assess the weather effects on dengue disease accounting for non-linear temporal effects. Third, a Boosted regression trees approach was used to account for nonlinearities and interactions between the land use factors and dengue disease and to generate a risk map. Results suggested that more than one geographical level was needed to confirm the disease clusters. Minimum temperature, rainfall and wind speed, were associated with the dengue cases in the study area. Spatial patterns of dengue cases could be explained by land use types, including human settlements, water bodies, mixed horticulture land, open land and neglected grassland. The predicted risk map depicted dengue risk in the study area. This dissertation provided compelling approaches that are highly valuable for dengue vector control policy advice; applicability is not confined to Malaysia but is transferable to other studies in similar settings.

Abstract (sommario):

This study is a socio-political investigation into the relationship between sport and nationbuilding in Malaysia. The relationship between sport and nation-building (incorporating analyses of the 'nation; 'national identity'; and national unity) is examined through a variety of primary and secondary source materials, as well as interviews with twenty-six key stakeholder respondents, to ascertain the role sport has played in integrating Malaysia's various ethno-racial groups into a united 'Malaysian' nation - the research problem under investigation in the study. Key research questions - founded upon an extensive review of the literature - traced the meaning and importance of nation-building; the Malaysian authorities' rationale for using sport in the country's nation-building project; if there was any evidence to support their use of sport; how sport is utilised towards Malaysia's nation-building efforts; and if the Malaysian authorities utilisation of sport is consistent with the nation-building aims which have been set for sport. The study established that whilst there is some evidence from Malaysia that sport has the capacity to function as a nation-building tool, it is undermined by poor sport policy implementation and by other government policies which undermine its potential for sustained and positive impact. Watching Malaysia take on other nations would certainly appear (from a Malaysian perspective) to be conducive to the imagining of a Malaysian community; sport providing a foundation from which to move forward in the creation of a Malaysian nation.

Abstract (sommario):

An analysis of migration patterns and migrant adjustment in peninsular Malaysia is presented, based on data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey. The analysis revealed that urban/rural residence, ethnicity, motivations underlying migration, and manner of securing employment are important determinants of the duration of the job search and of post-migration income. It was further noted that transferees form a distinct stream of migration. They differ from other migrants in age, education, employment, and post-migration income. In discussing the significance of these findings, attention is drawn to the impact of government policies on types of migration streams, and to the size of the public (or formal) sector as a determinant of work-related migration, or transfers.

Abstract (sommario):

An increasing number of countries have shifted, or are shifting, towards the knowledge-based economy. For these countries, including Malaysia, the quality of knowledge workers is extremely important in determining the pace and success of such transition. Thus, training is often carried out to improve the skills of knowledge workers at the workplace. But despite its importance, research on knowledge worker training is extremely limited. This study seeks to partially fill this gap in the literature by investigating three aspects of knowledge worker training in Malaysia. Using an online survey, data is collected from a sample of companies and knowledge workers in MSC Malaysia. In the first part of the study, the role of foreign ownership on the provision of, and participation in training in MSC Malaysia, is examined. Here the questions of whether or not there are any differences between the quantity and quality of training provided by local and foreign MSC-status companies and whether or not there are any differences in training participation between knowledge workers working at both entities are investigated. After establishing that some variations in training do exist between local and foreign companies in MSC Malaysia, the second part of the study examines in more detail the determinants of training among companies in MSC Malaysia. It particularly investigates the factors that affect the occurrence and magnitude of training by MSC-status companies as a whole To complement these findings, the final part of the study investigates the impact of training on the knowledge workers’ earnings, productivity and career advancement. Due to the nature of the data set, however, the issue of endogeneity of training and selectivity bias are not addressed in the analyses of wage effects of training while productivity is measured subjectively via the knowledge workers’ perceptions of the effect on ability to perform job tasks. The third analysis on career advancement is further divided into the impacts of training on the knowledge workers’ likelihood of receiving a promotion and searching for a new job.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis explores the incidence, the determinants and the consequences of overeducation and overskilling on individuals and firm performance in Malaysia. Three datasets were utilised: the 2007 Productivity Investment Climate Survey (PICS-2), the 1988 Malaysia Family Life Survey (MFLS-2) and the 2007 Graduate Tracer Study (GTS-07). The PICS-2 focused on overeducation and overskilling in the manufacturing sector whilst the MFLS-2 and GTS-07 highlighted overeducation on married respondents and graduates, respectively. With respect to the incidence, overeducation ranges from 19 to 32% whilst overskilling stands at 29%: moderately overskilled (7%) and severely overskilled (22%). As regards the determinants, workplace characteristics such as firm size, ownership, workforce composition and types of hiring practice play a role on overeducation and overskilling decision. Furthermore, labour market size and greater spatial flexibility, such as access to cars and public transportation, along with the individuals' heterogeneity in ability and skills also influence the overeducation incidence. On top of that, being overeducated increases the probability of being overskilled. In terms of consequences, overeducation and overskilling lead to lower earnings. Ordinary least square (OLS) and the random effects (RE) estimate that the earnings loss due to overeducation range from 2 to 24%, with a range of 2 to 11% for overskilled workers. The degree of overeducation and overskilling matters with the overeducation penalty (GTS-07) being larger for the severely overeducated than for the moderately overeducated, whilst severely overskilled workers (PICS-2) face a greater earnings loss compared with the moderately overskilled. Using a quantile regression, some evidences indicate overeducation and overskilling penalty related to unobserved individual abilities, especially for the males' sample. What is more, the GTS-07 reveals that overeducation leads to a lower job satisfaction and increases the on-the-job search behaviour amongst the overeducated workers. Both negative effects are much higher for the workers who are severely rather than moderately overeducated. As regards firm performance, negative externalities from having mismatched workers at the workplace are observed, as these tend to reduce firm performance. However, these negative externalities are largely contributed by having a higher proportion of overeducated as compared to overskilled workers. Apart from quit rate, overeducation decreased the workplace average pay, labour productivity, output and sales per worker but increased in absenteeism. By contrast, hardly any impact is observed regarding overskilling on firm performance apart from the average workplace pay. This suggests that reducing the incidence of mismatch, particularly educational mismatch in the workplace, is essential in improving firm performance thus remaining competitive domestically and globally. This thesis contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the incidence and the consequences of overeducation and overskilling on individuals and firm performance in Malaysia. Similar study remains to be very scarce in the context of a developing country.

Abstract (sommario):

There has been a growing concern in Malaysia towards promoting streets that are friendly to all users due to the streets environment which are perceived as not friendly to pedestrians. Based on previous research, nowadays, people are more ready to walk than before if streets are improved to meet the needs of the users. The aim of this research is to identify the factors and attributes that make a street friendly to the users. The research employed a mixed methodology using a case study approach. Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, as one of the main urban commercial streets in city centre of Kuala Lumpur was selected based on the physical, functional and socio-cultural characteristics of the street. A sample survey and in-depth interview were conducted with residents of Kuala Lumpur city centre. This was supported by field observations using scheduled checklists, photos and maps procedures. Analysis was conducted by means of triangulation. The research has found that the factors that affect the level of friendliness of streets to the users are attractiveness, activities, congestions, proximity and familiarity. The findings also indicate five supportive factors that affect the level of friendliness of the street; public space, greenery/trees, maintenance, public amenities and freedom of action. There are three main qualities that affect the level of friendly-street; safety and security; comfort and convenience, and accessibility. Based on the research done, safety and security are the most important qualities that contribute to the user-friendly urban commercial street; it is followed by comfort and convenience and accessibility. There is also a difference between the level of importance of attributes between different types of user, age groups and distance from place of residence to the user-friendly streets. It is found that the level of importance of factors and attributes is different from previous research. These findings contribute the gap in the knowledge concerning the most important needs and users' perception of a friendly urban commercial street based on the situation in Malaysia which has a different climate, social activities and cultural context from other previous researches.

Abstract (sommario):

As recently as two decades ago, online journal publishing becomes an integral part of academic activity in educational institutions and research organizations across the globe. In Malaysia, this is a new development and still in its early stage. In the global race to publish research results in online journals, local researchers are reluctant participants. This research looks into the factors that influence the adoption of online journal among Malaysian researchers.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines the empirical evidence for the transferability of Japanese soft technology (JST) or Japanese work organisation within two government-initiated, Malaysian-Japanese strategic alliances: PROTON and PERNEC. The government, through its Look East Policy (LEP) began in 1982, taking Japan (and South Korea) as models and partners in Malaysian economic and industrial development process, and expected these alliances to learn the good aspects of Japanese work organisations and management styles in order for them to become independent companies, both technologically and economically. The thesis found that the alliances have been successfully taking and utilising Japanese parts, components, tools, robots and machines; i.e. the 'ready-made hard technology'. [Whereas the important element of soft technology has been ignored]. The soft technology has been slowly and marginally transferred because neither local parties nor their Japanese counterparts within the alliances consider the acquisition or transfer of soft technology to be the main concern or a part of business plan. Although many factors influence management transfer, the thesis has focused on the eagerness and the capability of Malaysian managerial teams to acquire and, to a lesser extent, the readiness of the Japanese to transfer the technology. It was found that there is a lack of demand on technology acquisition by Malaysian managers and lack of responsibility to transfer the technology among Japanese experts. However, the political and social pressures on these alliances, the industrial climate and labour market, leaderships and management system of alliances, and Japanese MNCs regional and global corporate strategies have contributed to the high level of transfer of JST at PROTON compared to PERNEC. The research also found that Malaysian industrial and investment policies have favoured foreign investment but there is a lack of strategies for nurturing indigenous technological development.

Abstract (sommario):

Many scientists have accepted that human activities are the major cause of climate change and global warming. Knowledge on the effect this will have on office buildings and energy consumption in the future is essential. Thus the assessment of future building energy consumption is becoming more important especially in countries such as Malaysia where the majority of the office buildings depend on air-conditioning to maintain the occupants level of comfort. This research explores the effect of future climate change weather on the energy consumption of office buildings in Malaysia, by using simulation software. Simulated weather data sets HadCM3 were supplied by the Hadley Centre in the United Kingdom for the recent past and for the future up to 2099. Test Reference Years (TRYs) were selected from this data using the Finkelstein-Schafer Statistic (FS) method for four time slices, namely TRYs 1990-2007, 2010-2039, 2040-2069 and 2070-2099. The HadCM3 data was validated by comparing the 1990-2007 TRY with a TRY selected by the same method and period from the measured weather. The Hadley data was supplied as daily values, but the building simulation software required hourly values. Algorithms were therefore used to generate hourly values from the daily data for the relevant variables (dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and global solar radiation) and to decompose global solar radiation into direct and diffuse radiation. Two different office building were modelled in the simulation software, one imaginary simplified typical building and one real building. The sensible and latent annual cooling loads were found for each building for each different TRY. A sensitivity analysis was also performed to investigate the effect on cooling load of changes in building design as possible ways of mitigating the effects of climate change. It was found that climate change will increases the building energy consumption by 13.6 percent in future and better understanding on building design will reduce this effect.

Abstract (sommario):

In recent years, heated debates about the definition and evolutionary role of simple, egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies have assumed a central place in hunter-gatherer studies. Since household dynamics are bound to be fundamental in arguments about these issues, the present study examines social change in terms of household integration in Air Bah, a resettlement village of newly sedentary Lanoh hunter-gatherers and forest collectors of Peninsular Malaysia. The Lanoh have accepted inequality more readily than cooperation and binding relationships. Household integration has remained partial because, even in households of self-aggrandizers, younger men retain their individual autonomy. This incomplete household integration, in turn, continues to affect kinship group and village integration, preventing Air Bah from developing into a centralized "village community." These findings suggest substantial revisions in our understanding of the sociality and evolutionary significance of the "simplest" hunter-gatherer societies.

Abstract (sommario):

Cette thèse étudie la distribution et les facteurs déterminants de la richesse en Malaisie en utilisant l’Enquête sur le revenu des ménages 2007. Cette étude conclut que l’inégalité des richesses mesurée par le coefficient de Gini, soit 0,52, est plus élevée que l’inégalité de revenu. Parmi les groupes ethniques présents en Malaisie, l’inégalité de la richesse est la plus élevée parmi les Indiens, suivis Bumiputera (Malaisiens) tandis que les Chinois ont le ratio d’inégalité le plus faible. L’inégalité à l’intérieur d’un même groupe ethnique est la principale cause des disparités entre chaque classe des actifs. Cette étude révèle aussi que 72% de ceux qui n’ont pas de richesse sont les Bumiputera, tandis que pour les Chinois et les Indiens, les pourcentages sont respectivement de 17% et 10%. Les inégalités intra-ethniques sont les plus importantes chez les Indiens, qui possèdent le moins de richesse, soit23. 7% tandis que les Bumiputera en possèdent 14,7% et les Chinois 10,5%. La distribution de la richesse montre que le premier 10% des ménages Malaysiens per capita contrôle 35,22% des richesses tandis que le dernier 40% en détient 8,02%. Plus de 96% des richesses viennent de l’immobilier. Les Chinois ont la richesse moyenne la plus élevée, ce qui est de 76% et 47% supérieur à la richesse moyenne des Bumiputera et à celle des Indiens respectivement. En cohérence avec les autres résultats de cette étude, nous trouvons qu’il existe un biais pro-Chinois qui est estimé à 45%. Tout porte à croire que cette inégalité des richesses va s’accroître dans le futur. Des politiques de discrimination positive sont nécessaires afin de corriger le déséquilibre
The thesis studies the distribution and the determinants of wealth in Malaysia, using the Household Income Survey (HIS) 2007. The study finds that the inequality of wealth, measured by the Gini coefficient, is 0. 52, higher than inequality of income. Wealth inequality is highest among the Indian, followed by the Bumiputera, while the Chinese. The within-group inequality is the main cause for disparity. The study also finds that 72% without wealth are the Bumiputera, while the figures for the Chinese and the Indians are 17% and 10. 7% respectively. Intra-ethnic, it is the Indian that has the least of ownership in wealth at 23. 7%, and within the Bumiputera group, the figure are 14. 7% and the Chinese 10. 5%. The distribution of wealth shows that top 10% of Malaysian household per capita control 35. 22% of the wealth, whiles the bottom 40% have 8. 02%. More than 96% of wealth comes from real estate, while financial assets contribute the rest. The Chinese have the highest average wealth, which are 76% and 47% higher than the Bumiputera and the Indian respectively. Consistent with other findings, the study find that pro-Chinese wealth bias is estimated at 45%. It is expected that inequality in wealth will widen in the future. Policy recommendations include the need for structural changes in education and tax policies, anti-discrimination in the labour market, and effective monitoring and implementations of policies that encourage asset ownership among the poor. Affirmative action types of policies are needed to address the imbalance

Abstract (sommario):

The study of diaspora dictates a yearning to return home which finds its Chinese equivalent in the notion of louye-guigen ( 落葉歸根) - returning to the roots. However, reality is that diaspora comes to an end after settlement for two to three generations. We do see the prevailing trend of luodi-shenggen (落地生根) – the planting of permanent roots in the soils of different countries of Chinese overseas. In some Chinese communities, luodi-shenggen turns out to be a total assimilation while others developed a uniquely Chinese identity. This dissertation seeks to examine how the Sinophone as ennuciative tactic to afford a sense of homeliness to the Malaysian Chinese – Mahua (馬華) who maintain a practice of Sinitic languages in their daily life for generations while they unmistakably identify themselves as Malaysian. Such identification situates them in an inbetweenness where they engage in constant dialog to engender new speech act. Through the study of Chinese street names in George Town, Penang and the Sinophone cultural troupe Dongdiyin (動地吟), I argue that Sinitic languages afford the Malaysian Chinese a sense of home and that Sinitic languages are employed as a tactic in face of the grand narratives of their mother Chinese culture and the Malaysian national discourse, and to displace them.

Abstract (sommario):

Japanese involvement in Malaysia dates back to the beginning of this century. From the beginning Japanese interests were predominantly economic in nature Japan looked upon Malaya as a source of raw materials and also as a potential market for its finished products Japan was initially drawn by the rubber industry which became lucrative in 1910 and the iron ore mines which were essential for its steel industries. In 1928 iron ore imports from Malaya accounted for 40 percent of Japan's total consumption. Japanese cotton goods and other manufactures were low priced and therefore popular in Malaysia. However Japanese efforts to make in-roads on the Malaysian economy were impeded by the British colonial administration. For example, the British enacted a Rubber Restriction Act in 1917 which limited rubber exports to Japan. The British also introduced a quota system on Japanese manufactured imports in the late 1930s.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis emerged as a result from the desire to know how the Public Service of Malaysia is coping up with the demands of quality services from the public. The Public Service, in meeting the aspirations of the Government, on providing quality services to the public, has introduced a number of quality programmes. In spite of this positive move to inculcate a quality work culture among the Public Service employees, the public is said to be still complaining about public services. In this situation, investigations are required to determine the true status of the level of quality of services delivered by the Public Service. These investigations involved measuring service quality and the SERVQUAL instrument of measuring service quality, which has been tested for its reliability, has been introduced. After obtaining the measurements, shown in the form of service quality gaps, further investigations was carried out to identify the cause of the service quality gaps. It was discovered that service quality can be affected by the internal service gaps and in this case, the service performance gap is the main cause of the service quality gap. Further investigations narrowed down the cause of the service quality gap to performance appraisal. Therefore insight was gained about the improper implementation of performance appraisal which can affect quality. The invaluable findings obtained from the thesis about the Public Service prompted suggestions to be made about ways of improving quality services delivered by the Public Service.
