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
Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and

Editorial
Simplicity – 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.
MIP PLEDGE
Ishak Ariffin
Chief Editor
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 incoming team all the best!
Best regards!

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.
indirect British rule in Malaya.
Two major areas of historical
interests framed this article.
Firstly, his planning ideologies
and methods applied (replanning 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.
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

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 propertyoriented 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

CONTRIBUTION OF CHARLES
READE
A 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
NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS
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 January
1921. 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 on

Water, Water Everywhere, I Turn My Tap but It’s Not There
By Ishak Ariffin
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.
Water is Life
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!
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.
Sg Selangor Dam
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
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.

“Too much water” - When the river overflows
NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS
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.
of the heavens and the earth; ... in the rain which Allah Sends
down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to
an earth that is dead;...” (2:164); “And Allah has created every
animal from water...”(24:45); “... It is He Who has created man
from water...(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 selfsufficiency 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.
Leaking pipe
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! in the creation
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!

TOWARDS SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS
By Hj Idrus Alimuda
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 wellintegrated 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 REPORT
Malaysia 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.

POST WCSC TECHNICAL
TOUR TO SPAIN
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

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS
(Contd. from Pg 24)
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.
Our Own Charlie’s Angels
They may not be dressed to kill. They may not drive
fast cars. They may not have the licence to kill. But
give them any task. They will get it done. Whether
it is an update of CPD points, payments, inquiry,
appointments, meetings, seminars. They will be at
it. You can’t avoid bumping into them. These are our
own version of real life day-to-day MIP’s Charlie’s
Angels. Their task is to serve the council & the
members.
Puan Siti Nor Azmi, Cik Norasyikin Roslan and Cik Ana
Kashfi Muhammad are the 3 current permanent staff
at the institute.
We cannot thank them enough for their dedication &
responsibility to the Institute
The arrival of MIP Patron Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the
luncheon at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
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.
From Right: Puan Siti Nor Azmi,
Cik Norasyikin Roslan and Cik Ana Kashfi
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.

MIP PATRON AWARD : TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD
Reported by: Rahim Ariffin Photos by: Naz Tajudin
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 UNHabitat 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.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad giving his speech to all town
planners and participants at the luncheon
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.
Prof Dato’ Dr Alias Abdullah gives special momentos to
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
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
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.
