Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) has honoured the former

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by appointing him as its

patron at a special luncheon, on 7th November 2012 in conjunction

with MIP’s 40th anniversary.

Tun Mahathir is regarded as a foremost planner of the country

with his visions on economic planning and strategies that have

impacted the spatial planning, development and physical form

of the country. His involvement in planning Putrajaya, Cyberjaya

and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has changed our

country in many ways. It was Tun Dr. Mahathir’s knowledge and

experience of more than 20 years in leading this nation that had

merit this recognition.

Present at this ceremony were more than 700 professionals

including engineers, architects, surveyors, and developers. The

event was held at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Housing and

Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung also was

present at the event.

CongratulationsTunDrMahathirMohamad!

Yang saya muliakan Pengerusi Majlis; Yang Berhormat Dato’ Seri Chor Chee Heung, Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Malaysia; Yang Amat Berbahagia dan dihormati Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, mantan Perdana Menteri; Yang Amat Berbahagia dan dikasihi Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah binti Mohamad Ali;

Yang Berbahagia Datuk Arpah Binti Abdul Razak, Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan; Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Mohd. Fadzil bin Hj. Mohd. Khir, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa Semenanjung Malaysia;

Ahli-ahli Majlis MIP, Fellow Kehormat MIP dan Mantan-mantan Presiden MIP; Presiden Badan-Badan Profesional, Ketua-Ketua Jabatan dan Universiti; Penaja-Penaja dan rakan-rakan media; Tan Sri-Tan Sri, Dato’-Dato’, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan serta rakan-rakan profession perancang bandar sekalian.

A s s a l a m u a l a i k u m Warahmatulla Hiwabarakatuh, Salam Sejahtera dan Salam 1Malaysia

Terlebih dahulu, izinkan saya untuk mengucapkan selamat datang kepada semua ke Majlis Penyampaian Anugerah Penaung Pertubuhan Perancang

Malaysia (atau sinonimnya dikenali sebagai MIP) yang julung-julung kalinya diadakan sempena dengan sambutan Hari Perancangan Bandar Sedunia 2012 dan Ulang Tahun ke 40 MIP yang bertemakan : “MAKINGLIVEABLE SPACES, CREATINGSUSTAINABLEPLACES’ .

Hadirin yang dihormati; Perancangan dan Pengurusan Bandar bukanlah suatu bidang yang baru. Ianya selari dengan bidang-bidang professional lain seperti kejuruteraan dan seni bina yang telah wujud berkurun lamanya.

Jika kita mengambilkira Kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu Melaka sebagai antara tamadun yang awal di Nusantara ini maka kita akan dapati perancangan petempatan telah bermula pada masa tersebut.

Kehadiran penjajah-penjajah barat khususnya British telah memperkemaskan aktiviti-aktiviti perancangan bandar dan pada tahun 1923 satu undang-undang khusus berkaitan perancangan bandar telah diwujudkan di Tanah Melayu.

Hadirin yang dihormati; Pada hari ini perancangan bandar di Malaysia tidak lagi hanya merupakan satu domain kerja tetapi juga telah diiktiraf sebagai satu profession di bawah kumpulan ikhtisas atau pun professional yang mempunyai undang-undangnya sendiri.

Profesional perancangan bandar tidak lagi bergerak bersendirian tetapi kini dipayungi oleh Pertubuhan Perancang Malaysia (MIP), Lembaga Perancang Bandar Malaysia (LPBM) dan Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa (JPBD).

Pada tahun ini genaplah 40 tahun MIP memayungi profession perancang bandar di Malaysia.

Dengan usia yang sedemikian rupa maka sudah tentulah MIP layak mempunyai seorang yang berwawasan, berkaliber, mempunyai wadah yang jelas terhadap perancangan dan pembangunan negara serta merupakan negarawan ulung menjadi PENANUNG atau PATRON kepada MIP sejajar dengan perlembagaannya.

Pada hari ini, MIP dengan keahlian melebihi 2,000 orang di dalam sektor kerajaan, pihak berkuasa tempatan, GLC, akademik dan swasta merasakan amat terharu dan berbangga untuk menerima kehadiran PENAUNG nya yang PERTAMA setelah menunggu selama 40 tahun di dalam pencarian.

Hadirin yang dihormati; Saya sebagai PRESIDEN MIP dengan ini sukacitanya memaklumkan bahawa Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia telah bersetuju untuk dinobatkan sebagai PENAUNG PERTAMA MIP.

Kita rasa amat bertuah kerana Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun sudi menerima jemputan MIP ini walau pun MIP bukanlah sebuah organisasi yang besar tetapi mempunyai cita-cita yang besar di dalam wadah perjuangan kearah memantapkan perancangan dan pembangunan mampan, kejiranan dan perbandaran yang berdaya huni, kelestarian alam sekitar semulajadi dan penerapan teknologi hijau di dalam pembangunan fizikal yang mempunyai pengaruh dan kesan secara langsung kepada kehidupan orang ramai di Malaysia.

Dengan kehadiran Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Muhamad sebagai PENAUNG MIP, yang juga telah diiktiraf diperingkat antarabangsa melalui Rafik Hariri United Nation Habitat Memorial Award pada September 2012 yang lepas, kita mengharapkan agar cetusan idea-idea baru dan nasihat yang bernas lagi berterusan kepada ahli-ahli MIP, pegawai-pegawai perancang bandar, pentadbir dan pengurus bandar, pemaju-pemaju perumahan, ahli-ahli akademik dan pelajar-pelajar, profession-profession bersekutu serta pembuat-pembuat dasar.

Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengajak rakan-rakan seperjuangan di dalam MIP bersama-sama dengan pengamal perancangan dan pengurusan bandar untuk sama-sama terus bersatu

padu dan bekerjasama bagi memantapkan aktiviti-aktiviti perancangan bandar di Malaysia.

Saya juga berdoa kepada Allah SWT agar profession perancangan bandar yang diterajui oleh MIP dengan kehadiran Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir sebagai PENASIHAT terus subur berkembang dan menjadi semakin penting kepada kerajaan dan rakyat Malaysia. Sukalah saya menggungkapkan pantun ini:

TenanglahtenangairdilautSampan kolek mudik ketanjung,Hati terkenang mulutmenyebutBudi Tun Mahathir yang baikakanterusdijunjung

RagipulutdalamkatiTapaimanisdalamkualiSelagi Tun MahathirmenyumbangkanbaktiMIP tetap berada dihadapanuntukberbudi

Di akhir kata, izinkan saya mengucapkan sekalung terima kasih kepada semua yang telah berusaha keras untuk menjayakan MAJLIS PENYAMPAIAN ANUGERAH PENAUNG MIP khususnya kepada Ahli Majlis MIP dan Ahli Jawatankuasa yang telah dibentuk.

Setinggi-tinggi terima kasih diucapkan kepada semua penaja yang telah menaja dan menyumbangkan kepada kejayaan majlis pada hari ini.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan juga kami ucapkan kepada YB Dato’ Seri Chor Chee Heung, Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Malaysia, kerana sudi untuk meluangkan masa bersama-sama MIP di dalam majlis ini.

Akhir sekali, saya sebagai presiden, mewakili seluruh ahli Pertubuhan Perancang Malaysia, ingin merakamkan ucapan jutaan terima kasih di atas kesudian Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir untuk menerima Anugerah PENAUNG Pertubuhan Perancang Malaysia.

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS4

EditorialSimplicity – one of the main purpose of simplicity is to make life easier.(Edward de Bono).

A lot have been said about planning procedures, namely planning submission, being very tedious and complicated. We have tried to simplify the process by introducing the OSC – One Stop Centre. However, now we hear complaints about the OSC also becoming a very complicated process. So the question that arises now – has the OSC made life easier for everyone?

Perhaps we need to take another closer look at the procedures in the submission of planning applications to the OSC. In spite of our noble effort to make the process easier, there are still some quarters who are asking for simpler process. Some of them went to the extent of trying to by-pass the whole process totally. And thus, we should perhaps re-examine the process we have created and try to improve on it.

This takes me to the writings of Edward De Bono on ‘simplicity’. De Bono argues that in many cases the procedures that were established many years ago, possibly for very good reason, continue because no one has thought about changing them. The traditional way of doing things is often long and complex. A simpler way sometimes can be found, although not always, but usually possible. Things often evolve to become more complex, not more simple. We should ask ourselves then have we made things simpler through the OSC?

Those who are familiar with the complex process no longer notice it and may even add more elements to increase its complexity. Have we been guilty of doing this? This is the point that we should re-examine. The OSC submission process it seems has indeed become more complex in some cases, with the introduction of volumes of forms that have to be filled in by the submitting planner

and the client. It may be necessary in the eyes of the planning authority to make the task of processing the applications easier. However, does it make easier for the submitting person(s), too?

De Bono argues that it may be better to simplify a process than to train people to cope with the complexity.

As professionals, we progressively make things easier for ourselves by simplifying our judgement and decisions. With experience and hindsight we learn to identify which are the important things to look for. This is what we should be doing now to make the OSC system much better.

There is often a much simpler way of doing things if we make the effort to look for it because simplicity does not just happen. But finding a simpler way is usually neither simple nor easy. Like other things, however, nothing will happen until we appoint someone to take the responsibility to make it happen.

Let’s work together to make this happen. JPBD should take the lead and work with the MIP, through its members, to start looking at ways in which we could further enhance the planning submission process that we have in place now. I hope to see the next team of MIP Council members take this challenge to help elevate our planning profession to a new level. Let’s make ‘simplicity’ our goal.

On behalf of the current Editorial team and the members of the Research and Publication Committee, I wish thank the current MIP Council members for their faith in us and wish the in-coming team all the best! Best regards!

MaLaysian institute of PLanners- HISTORY AND ITS BEGINNING

The Malaysian Institute of Planners has come a long way

in a very short time. The idea was mooted by the 1971

Annual General Meeting of the Royal Town Planning Institute

(Malaysia Branch), the only body representing the planning

profession in the country at that time. It was felt that for

an independent country we should have a national planning

institute and not be a branch of the Royal Town Planning

Institute London.

In conformity to the decision a Protem Committee

comprising of Mohd Rosli bin Buyong, Chung Weng Foo,

Tan Soo Hai, Chin Wai Yeong and T. Mahesan was elected

to draft the constitution for the proposed Institute. This

committee met several times at 13, Jalan Yong Shook Lin,

Petaling Jaya which was then the office of Tan Soo Hai.

On the 6th September 1971 at a meeting held at the

conference room of the Federal Department of Town and

Country Planning, Jalan Cenderasari, Kuala Lumpur, the

findings of the committee was presented. The 20 members

present approved the constitution and elected a Protem

Executive Council to legally establish the Pertubuhan under

the Akta Pertubuhan 1966. The members of the committee

were:

Application to register the Institute was made in November

1971 and a temporary license to operate the Institute was

issued by the Registrar of Society in December 1971. The full

certificate was issued on 26th July 1972. It is history after

that.

Legitimizing The ProfessionWe owe a debt to many of our members and to others for

help given in steering the Town Planners Act through various

levels of the Government. The Act itself was originally

initiated by MIP. A draft was prepared in 1973 and discussed

at a Special General Meeting held at the conference room

at the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning,

Kuala Lumpur. The amended version was circulated by the

then Secretary, Chung Weng Foo to all the MIP members and

adopted by the MIP Council on 26th January 1974. This draft

Act was then sent to the then Minister of Local Government

and Housing, Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui. Twenty-one years later

and after countless representation by the Council to the

respective Ministers, the Town Planners Act was finally

approved by Parliament in 1995.

The distinction of securing the Act is not the doing of any one

individual. Every President and Council in the intervening

21 years did much work in paving the way for the event,

and much also has depended on the support of the Federal

Department of Town and Country Planning and the Ministry

of Local Government and Housing. Dato’ (Dr.) Ishak bin Ariff,

the Director General of the Department of Town and Country

Planning and his successor, Dato’ Zainuddin Muhammad

and Dr. Mohamad Nong from the Ministry steered the Act

through the National Council of Local Government and the

Ministry. Dato’ Anwar Musa a Cabinet Minister at that time

and a corporate planner of the institute provided invaluable

assistance to ensure a smooth progress of the Act through

the Cabinet.

MIP LOGO

Malaysian Institute of Planners Logo was designed by

Mr. Chin Wai Yeong. It is an inverted form of Ebenezer

Howard’s three horse shoe magnets in which the chief

advantages of living in the Town and the Country were

set forth with the corresponding drawbacks, while the

advantage of the Town-Country concept of the Garden

City are seen to be free from disadvantages of either.

While Ebenezer Howard’s three magnets did not have

any circles to bind them together, the MIP logo has

the three magnets bound by two circles to reflect the

need to marry town and country to give new hope, a

new life to a developing Malaysia.


CHARLES READE (1880—1933)- first goVernMent toWn PLanner in MaLaysia -

Charles Compton Reade (1880–1933) was a town planner who supported the garden city movement of the early twentieth century.

Born in Invercargill, New Zealand in 1880, Reade became the major figure in disseminating Garden City ideas in Australia. Reade saw the evils of inner city slums while working as a journalist in England and began writing of the need for improved town planning, becoming active in the Garden Cities and Town Planning Association of Great Britain, of which he was acting secretary and editor for its magazine in 1913.

Charles Reade In 1914–15 he led a lecture tour through five Australian States and New Zealand. South Australia appointed Reade as a town planning adviser in 1916 and later he became its first official Town Planner in 1918 and he retained the position until 1920. In 1917 he drew up plans for an Adelaide garden suburb, initially with a working title of Mitcham Garden Suburb and officially named Colonel Light Gardens. The Royal Town Planning Institute was only formed in 1914 (and Reade was one of its associate founder) and the first British University giving town planning courses was only offered in Liverpool in 1916.

Just before the outbreak of the first World War (1914), Reade went to Australia with W.R Davidge (architect, surveyor and planner) to propagate the Garden City movement cause. He gave numerous lectures on the Garden City concept in many Australian town and subsequently was appointed as town planning advisor to the South Australian government in 1916.

In South Australia, he introduced a town planning legislature, established the South Australia town planning department, and complete a

number of planning schemes. For example, Mitcham Garden Suburb in Adelaide, is today a heritage garden suburb, renamed Colonel Light Garden, Reade applied the Garden City concept in many of his layout even suggested a second park belt system to Adelaide, further enchanting the existing park belt laid out by Colonel William Light (the son to Captain Francis Light of Penang).

Reade convened Australia’s first two town planning and housing conferences in 1917 and 1918. He also twice tried to get town planning legislation through the State legislature: on the first occasion it was defeated by the property-oriented upper House and on the second was passed but was heavily amended by the House.

Reade then left Australia for overseas planning positions, establishing a town planning department in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya in 1921 and moving to Northern Rhodesia in 1929.

Reade’s lasting legacy (apart from the establishment and growth of the Federal Town

Planning Department) is the slightly less known new town of Kuala Kubu Bharu –Malaya first new town and along the lines of the garden city ideology. He committed suicide in South Africa in 1933, only nine days after becoming Chief Planning Officer of Witwatersrand.

CONTRIBUTION OF CHARLES READEA number of local planning academicians and an increasing number of international historians have recently rescued Reade from obscurity and acknowledged his contribution towards the development of the town planning service in South Australia, Malaya, and Northern Rhodesia.

Reade in particular was recognized as one of the first generation of self-styled town planner working in the British colonies promoting the cause of town planning within a generally hostile environment to town planning (Home, 2000): such hostilities are largely a conflict between public interest ideology; unfetish property development; and a failure to appreciate political sensitivity within an indirect an

indirect British rule in Malaya.

Two major areas of historical interests framed this article. Firstly, his planning ideologies and methods applied (re-planning and redistribution of lots)2 and secondly, to a lesser extent, the garden city design principles which he steadfastly held throughout his whole career till his untimely death in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1933.

Both ideologies were ‘alien’ to landowners and their agents in Malaya. Such methods and ideologies provide a fascinating analysis of conflicting interests within a British rule favoring appeasing property interest and maintaining the status quo over the social concerns of eradicating and prevention of slum and haphazard development in the major towns of British Malaya (the task Reade was appointed to handle).

Reade established a small town planning department in Kuala Lumpur on 18th January1921. He did an immediate survey of the conditions of towns in the country and reported this to the government. His report on the need for a permanent town planning machinery for Malaya, entitled “Town Planning And Development In The Federated Malay States (1922)” has been considered an important piece of historical document, promoting the need for a town planning machinery for the country (Goh Ban Lee, 1990). In it, he outlined important aspects of town planning requirements and the need for a legislature to manage the growth of towns in a orderly manner, emphasizing onprevention rather than cure, the difference between planning and sub-division, economies under Town Planning etc.

Water, Water Everywhere, I Turn My Tap but It’s Not ThereByIshakAriffin

We live in the tropical zone, with 12 hours of sunshine all year round. We get plenty of rain all year round too, some months a lot more than others. Only the northwest corner of the Peninsula gets a distinct dry period from January to March. This is the area that lies to the west of an imaginary line between Songkhla and Sungai Petani, that ecologists called the Kedawi region. Now that has changed too, with the erratic weather pattern that we have been experiencing in recent years.

I remember the grass in my home state up there in laksa land (Kedah, of course!) used to turn yellowish brown in January and remained that way until late March. Semi-deciduous trees shed their leaves like in the autumn in temperate countries (maybe it is the trees’ strategy to reduce water loss). That was when the bare dedap trees sprout flowers in deep red amongst its leafless branches, and the kapok (kekabu) seeds cracked to show off their white fluffy fibres that we used for stuffing pillows and mattresses in the old days. The drains in big towns such as Alor Star were stagnant, helping to retain some humidity, although they smell unpleasant. When it coincided with the padi harvesting, you can catch the most glorious sunsets in the evenings. It was hot and dry at that time of year. Then everything came back to life in glorious green when the rain returns in April. This year we have had thunderstorms in late January and February.

But we were never really short of water.

That is no longer true. Despite having an estimated 990 billion m3 (2008 figures) of rainfall annually, and 566 billion m3 of that total flowing into our rivers,and our water usage being roughly only 3% of the latter, we are running short of water supply. Domestic and industrial water demand is only about 6,000 million m3 a year!

Initially, it was the rapid growth of industrial estates that brought shortages of water in their neighbouring towns. Then came the rapid urbanisation, all along the west coast of the Peninsula. Factories that used to be way out of town suddenly found themselves surrounded by housing estates. Many places begin to experience frequent water supply disruption.I’ll bet not many people remember the drought in 1998 that brought hardship on some 1.8m Klang Valley residents due to water rationing.

But we still have plenty of rain and flowing rivers, except that our most of our rivers now looked like a perpetual supply of tehtarik. Our water treatment plants had to work overtime to make the water potable or clean enough for our consumption. And we are running short of rivers that can provide clean water to the treatment plants as development encroaches further and further upstream and inland.

97% of our 6,000 million m3 per year potable water supply comes from rivers and the balance is from ground water. In contrast, a country like Denmark consumed almost 1,000 million m3 per year, and it is entirely sourced from groundwater. Their groundwater resource is estimated to be only 1,800 million m³ per year.

In Perlis we had to inundate 5% of the land area to create the Timah-Tasoh impoundment to provide water for irrigation and for domestic consumption. Perlis was totally dependent on groundwater and water supply from Kedah. However, it was then found that the demand for domestic & industrial uses exhausted the original design capacity of the dam. In Selangor, a water treatment plant downstream of Sungai Bernam had to be closed due to saline intrusion. This was due the reduced river flow that resulted in sea water flowing in further inland up to the water intake points. One of the things that affect water level in the river is the increasing water extraction upstream. Loss of water catchment areas due to opening of forested areas for other uses also affected river flow.

Fifteen years or so ago an area near Balakong in Cheras, near a water treatment plant suffered water supply disruption but it was raining a lot and the houses around it were suffering from flash floods. How could we have water shortage and flood at the same time?In 1991 another state suffered water supply shortage for a number of years because the main water supply dam was contaminated by industrial effluent. Now we have found that several states in the Peninsula are running short of water come 2020. We have resorted to expensive remedial actions that include building more dams and water transfers between neighbouring states through tunnels punched through our mountains and hills.

In the meantime, we remain complacent about our per capita water consumption. We continue to waste our water as if the supply is endless. The national average consumption was 210

litres per capita per day in 2011. Per capita consumption in the west coast states in Peninsular Malaysia are all above the national average.Some industry experts argued that the real figures are much higher, closer to 300 litres per person per day. But our daily per capita usage is indeed higher than Singapore (155 litres), the Philippines (175 litres) and Indonesia (130 litres). If we compare with more advanced countries, in Denmark it is only 114 litres, Australia 150 litres, England & Wales 150 litres. USA is perhaps the only country that consumed more than us, at 300-380 litres per capita per day!

Some Third World countries don’t even have half the water we used daily. The UN Population Fund recommended that the fair level of domestic water usage is 100 litres per person per day. We can get by with just 30 litres for drinking and cooking and to maintain hygiene.

We also suffer huge losses due to non-revenue water (NRW), largely due to leaking pipes that transport water to our taps and water theft. NRW for Kelantan, Pahang, Perlis and Sabah is more than 50%.The highly industrialised and developed states in the country are already experiencing pressures from acute supplies to meet the demands from their residents, the industries and the development projects. The loss from NRW is estimated at about 43% of total water revenue! And if we look at it in another simple minded way, it would also mean that for whatever amount we invested in creating new water supply (such as building more dams and treatment plants) we are only going to get half the value invested before we even start the construction if we don’t tackle the NRW first.

Not many people realised that we flushed 30% of our water down the toilets and spent another 35% in the showers or baths. Only 10% is actually used for drinking and cooking. Laundry and cleaning takes the other 25%.It doesn’t make sense for us to spend so much money to supply treated water and then 90% of it just went down the drains and sewers.That’s after we have lost nearly half of it through leaky pipes (NRW). Silly, aren’t we?Our water supply is so heavily subsidised and the water from our tap is so cheap that we are not bothered by our wasteful habits. Only when we turn our taps on and no water came out will we start jumping and tearing our hair out.

Try telling an African in Ethiopia that we used clean water to flush the toilets and they will probably think that we are crazy.

One third of the world population is already facing problems of water shortage and poor quality drinking water. UNESCO has predicted that water shortage will be a worldwide problem by 2020. Prophets of doom have wagered that the next world war will be over control of fresh water supplies, not oil. We can live fairly comfortably without electricity for a day or two (although a lot of people will have suffered Internet withdrawals!), but not without water!

Although 70% of the human body is water, we cannot survive more than a week without water. Water is life. Without water there is no life. In the Quran it is stated, “Behold!inthecreation

oftheheavensandtheearth; . . .intherainwhichAllahSendsdownfromtheskies,andthelifewhichHegivestherewithtoanearththatisdead; . . .”(2:164);“AndAllahhascreatedeveryanimalfromwater . . .”(24:45);“ . . .ItisHeWhohascreatedmanfromwater . . .(25:54)” (translations by Abdullah Yusuf Ali).

Singapore has put in place their long term strategy for their water supply. They will not be highly dependent on water supplied from Johor anymore come 2060. The second of the two bilateral agreements with Johor will expire in 2061.The first agreement expired in 2011. They have put in place measures to ensure self-sufficiency by recycling their wastewater for consumption that they termed NEWater.

NEWater will supply40% of Singapore’s water needs by 2020 and a further 25% supplied by desalinisation. NEWater is primarily for non-potable industrial uses. A small percentage of NEWater is also blended with raw water in the reservoir for treatment as potable water. They will cut their per capita consumption to 147 litres per day. By 2060, NEWater will supply 50% and desalinisation another 30% of their water supply.This is sensible considering that only 30% of demand comes from Singapore’s domestic sector and the non-domestic sector consumes the other 70%. Furthermore, we are going to literally flush 90% of the water down the drains anyway. It is a win-win situation because recycling most of our wastewater also means that we reduce the possibility of polluting our waterways.

In our case, we are not only consuming too much but we are also polluting our water sources. And our strategy in the past has always been to build more dams. The first National Water Resources Study commissioned in 2000proposed the construction of another 50 dams to meet our water demand by 2050! This was based on a continuous linear growth of demand. That’s a big assumption that our rivers will be able to supply enough water way beyond 2050 and we cannot change our water consumption habits.

There have been very little discussions about managing demand and cutting down our daily per capita usage. Our focus has been too much on the supply (and the potential profits that can be made from construction of water supply facilities!).Demand management is a very important strategy that complements the supply strategy, because water supply in not infinite. We should not wait until our potential water resources have been exhausted before we start looking at managing the way we use water.

There have not been enough efforts towards cleaning up our rivers that passes through our urban centres to return them to at least Class IIB level (i.e. suitable for recreational use with body contact) so that we can use them again for recreation. For several decades more than 50% of our urban rivers monitored by Jabatan Alam Sekitar have lingered within the polluted and slightly polluted range. The main contributors to river pollution have been named as sewage treatment plants (I thought they were supposed to clean the wastewater?), manufacturing industries and palm oil mills. Earthworks have also been a major contributor of pollution of our rivers.

We have the technologies now to clean wastewater up to standard A (as clean as the pristine river water) of effluent discharge. Hence, water discharged from our sewage treatment plant that utilises this technology will be cleaner than water from our rivers. Taking water from the river now is akin to taking water from the sewer since we treat our rivers like one! In my course of work I have come across a river where the water sampled is almost Class IV (suitable only for irrigation, not even suitable for livestock consumption!) near a water intake point!

Let’s not wait until the last tree has been cut, the last fish has been caught and the last river has been poisoned before we realise that money cannot be eaten!

CONGRATULATIONS : PROF DATO’ DR ALIAS ABDULLAH


TOWARDS SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODSByHjIdrusAlimuda

In 2011, the Global Peace Index ranked Malaysia as the most peaceful country in Southeast Asia and the fourth safest in the Asia Pacific region. Even with those accolades, Malaysia is not one to rest on its law.

Under Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s Government Transformation Programme, the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning (FDTCP) of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government will expand the Safe City Programme to reduce crime and promote a culture of crime prevention.

The Safe City Programme encapsulates the public safety initiatives under the Government Transformation Programme’s National Key Result Area, and at the centre of this effort is the Safe City Monitoring System which integrates crime data from the Police Reporting System with land use information from the FDTCP and the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, using the Geographical Information System (GIS) platform.

According to Peter Valentine Amandus, Town Planner and GIS Manager at the FDTCP, the SCMs is considered as a huge milestone for the Department asit has never been attempted before. While several jurisdictions have only started using GIS for their crime mapping initiatives, he say it is not as sophisticated and as well-integrated as the SCMs.

“The SCMs allows the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) to monitor the effectiveness of crime prevention efforts in areas under the jurisdiction of the local authorities and also enable existing and potential crime hotspots to be identified and closely monitored.”

The system is currently being used by 51 police stations and 12 municipal councils. By end of 2012, the system is extended to be used by 254 police stations.

Its main objective is to create a collaborative platform where agencies can work together to reduce crime by way of sharing information through a user friendly web portal. In addition, since the system helps translate crime data into digital maps, the police are able to shift away from using pin maps to help them visualise crime information.

“Pin maps, most of the time, are not permanent and have the tendency to be discarded and changed over time which makes doing a trend analysis of crime quite a tedious task. This situation also encourages local authorities to develop their own GIS crime mapping tools which are often very expensive to develop,” he says.

In order to address this concern, the FDTCP integrated the SCMs with the RMP’s Police Reporting System, an online crime reporting tool which records crimes documented by police stations across the whole country. By integrating the two systems, crime can be located on the map which will then be registered in standard coordinates and used for data storage and analysis.

Since the SCMs provides geo-processing analysis real-time to users, the core processing server is segregated to meet high demand in web-based environment. Thus, FDTCP is able to be less dependent on a physical server, thereby substantially reducing costs in utilities by nearly 50 per cent.

With the new system in place, FDTCP is able to equip the police force with the capability to not only identify crime hot spots, but also study different reasons for possible causes of crimes. Furthermore, the government is able to save an estimated RM15 million (US$ 4.8 million) by using a single system for all of its crime-mapping activities.

“Oftentimes, we see agencies working in silos and doing their own activities to combat crime. This system allows us to orchestrate our efforts towards determining how we can best allocate funds for resources such as CCTVs and how the RMP can strategically mobilise the network of the police force,” says Amandus.

Meanwhile Senior Assistant Commissioner of the Royal Malaysian Police, Dato’ ZainalAbidin bin Kasim, highlights the ‘aoristic’,’timeline’ and ’hotspot’ feature in the SCMs as crucial tools for the RMP as it enables them to holistically plan how they can optimise their resources and respond to certain crimes and hotspot areas.

“Vehicle theft, for example, is one the most common crimes recorded in our system. Since we have the data on where vehicle theft incidents occur, we are able to identify key hotspot areas and plan how we will be mobilising our team. By doing so, we are also able to curb other vehicle-theft-related incidents such as underhanded activities by illegal workshops,” says Dato’ Zainal.

“Using the SCMs for planning, organising and implementing our crime prevention efforts has helped us expand the scope of our ‘omnipresence programme’ and engage communities in raising awareness on issues concerning public safety,”

He adds that because of well-informed planning, the RMP was able to make significant progress in reducing crime rates in about 50 local authorities. Furthermore, public perception towards the performance of the Police Force and the safety of their community has greatly improved.

“This inter-agency collaboration is achieving its goals of providing citizens with the ‘peace of mind’ that we are keeping neighbourhoods safe by taking smarter approaches to public safety and security, allowing the police force to better respond and anticipate events, and if possible, prevent untoward incidents from happening.”

Dato’ Zainal shares that because of the benefits derived from using the SCMs in crime response and analysis, the government is looking into extending this capability to the Narcotics and Traffic Divisions soon to further improve their efforts in tracking locations and activities of drug dealers and to improve the police force’s response during road emergencies.

WORLD HAPPINESS REPORTMalaysia was placed at 51st out of 156 countries.

United Nation’s World Happiness Report listed that most of the happiest countries in the world are all in Northern Europe (Denmark, Norway & Finland). While the least happy countries are all poor countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

According to the report, it is not just wealth that makes people happy : political freedom, strong social networks and an absence of corruption are also important.

The technical tour was successfully organized from 10th – 18th November 2012 and participated by 28 representatives from local authorities, developers, state agencies, private practitioners and a journalist. The tour also included a one day participation to the World Congress & Exhibition Of smart Cities in Barcelona.

The tour took delegates to the cities of Barcelona, Bilbao and also Granada. The visit to Granada which holds the Alhambra was an added bonus for the Malaysian to see for themselves the great Islamic architecture within a World Heritage Site.

3 technical programmes were conducted. These were the briefing by Barcelona Activa on 22@; the briefing by the Deputy Mayor of Bilbao on the city transformation and the Smart Cities Conference & Exhibition. A brief summary of the lessons learnt as well as the key takeaways are described below :

22@ project by Barcelona Activa – Barcelona Activa was a setup by the City Authority as a research and development corporation private entity, to develop an old part of the city. The 22@ area once hosted industrial and manufacturing plants close to the centre of Barcelona. The 200 acre site is now being developed into a high income generating, value added services industry such as media and communications, the Art and theatres, educational institutions,commerce and retails. It has attracted investment from all over is now an example of a successful redevelopment program of the city.

The Bilbao Effect – Bilboa was a steel based industrial city since the 1800’s. In mid 1970’s the steel industry fell drastically and the city had 25% unemployment, a bad urban environment and a population that was politically and socially against the government. In early 1980, the city government formulated a plan to revive the city. This master plan was generally sustainability, which they believe will lead to economic and social recovery. Four main elements of the plan were Urban physical development, socio- economic components, mobility and accessibility& Infrastructure service (clean water & sewerage). The delegates were amazed at the transformation. A river boat cruise gave the opportunity for the delegates to personally observe beautiful environment that Bilboa now has. A visit redeveloped central brewery into a cultural, sports, leisure and knowledge center further convinced that with political will, city development and project can be very successfully towards achieving city with a good quality of life.

The Smart City Congress & Exhibition – Barcelona holds many world events and congresses, held at plaza Europa. The area is a redevelopment of a once industrial warehouse and a factory site. The Smart City Congress & Exhibition is held annually with many companies showcase new initiatives towards Green Cities. There were also companies that offered consultancy services for cities to go green

The cities of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya gave town planners in this country the opportunity to design world class cities using standards that are innovative. This is in order to not just create a pleasing physical environment but also to engineer societies living within them to interact and socialize in order to address issues of modern city living. Tun was the visionary behind the development of these 2 cities, and Town planners cannot thank him enough for giving us the opportunity to showcase the importance of proper physical planning and development.

There are a thousand and one accolades to be bestowed upon this great leader of our nation. However, amongst town planners, we recognize him as being someone who laid the foundation for a better physical environment for our towns and cities. His vision pushed us planners to re-think on a more holistic approach of township design. We realized that planning is more than just meeting up with standards and guidelines and drawing spatial blueprints for various economic activities. In staying true to Tun Dr. Mahathir’s compelling need to develop and grow the nation and its people, we planners followed through by ensuring that people are not deprived of their basic needs to live, work, play in the cities, town and villages. People became the centre of our town planning efforts.

For that we are deeply honored to have Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, the patron of the Malaysian Institute of Planners. Thank you for showing us the way for a better future.

Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) has honoured Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by accounting him its patron at a special luncheon, on 7th November 2012 in conjunction with MIP’s 40th anniversary.

MIP President, Prof Dato’ Dr Alias Abdullah said the award was to recognize Tun Dr Mahathir’s contributions to Malaysia’s development.

“He is our top planner for the country with his economic planning and strategies that have impacted the spatial planning, development and physical form of the country. His involvement in planning Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has changed our country in many ways. It was Tun Dr. Mahathir’s knowledge and experience of more than 20 years in developing this nation that had led to the recognition”.

Tun who was named the recipient of the 2012 Rafik Hariri UN-Habitat Memorial Award in June 2012, is recognised for his leadership, statesmanship and good governance, thus there is no doubt he is the best candidates our patron.

MIP invited some 700 participants all of whom are professionals including engineers, architects, surveyors, and developers to attend the event which was held at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

Indeed, there has been no better planner than Tun who has shaped not just the economic landscape of the country but also its physical form. His vision for a developed and prosperous Malaysia, through his 22 years as the chief executive of the nation, has brought about immense changes to cities, towns

and villages. We have grown exponentially through his visionary leadership.

Town and regional planners, the profession for which the Institute regulates, has benefitted greatly from his leadership. We have had to formulate development plans to catch up with his vision of providing first world infrastructure, such as highways, a new airport, the KLCC development, KL Tower, the production of the Malaysian made car, the Multi Media Super Corridor and most of all the new cities of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. All the initiatives mentioned have meant the opening up of new areas with allied facilities such as new townships for housing, commerce, recreational and community facilities. Town Planners in this country faced a giant task of balancing the needs of development with preservation of the environment.

It was under Tun’s leadership that Town Planners formulated the Philosophy of a Holistic development approach. This philosophy was implemented in the design of the new Federal Administrative Capital of Putrajaya, a brainchild of Tun.

The National Spatial Plan was then generated to transcribe the economic growth plans by Tun into a spatial form, such that development will be coordinated amongst the various states and the nation’s natural heritage will be preserved.

Following this was the more detailed National Urbanization Strategy which was to address balanced city development with social and environmental needs. At the same time, Wawasan 2020, another initiative by Tun became the platform for future growth strategies of the nation. Town Planners had to quickly institute a paradigm shift in which human settlement planning, design and related components would have to deliver a caring society, amongst others.
