Assalamualaikum<br />
Warahmatulla Hiwabarakatuh,<br />
Salam Sejahtera dan Salam<br />
1Malaysia<br />
Terlebih dahulu, izinkan saya<br />
untuk mengucapkan selamat<br />
datang kepada semua ke<br />
Majlis Penyampaian Anugerah<br />
Penaung Pertubuhan Perancang<br />
Malaysia (atau sinonimnya<br />
dikenali sebagai MIP) yang<br />
julung-julung kalinya diadakan<br />
sempena dengan sambutan Hari<br />
Perancangan Bandar Sedunia<br />
2012 dan Ulang Tahun ke 40 MIP<br />
yang bertemakan : “MAKING<br />
LIVEABLE SPACES, CREATING<br />
SUSTAINABLE PLACES’.<br />
Hadirin yang dihormati;<br />
Perancangan dan Pengurusan<br />
Bandar bukanlah suatu bidang<br />
yang baru. Ianya selari dengan<br />
bidang-bidang professional<br />
lain seperti kejuruteraan dan<br />
seni bina yang telah wujud<br />
berkurun lamanya.<br />
Jika kita mengambilkira<br />
Kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu<br />
Melaka sebagai antara tamadun<br />
yang awal di Nusantara ini maka<br />
kita akan dapati perancangan<br />
petempatan telah bermula<br />
pada masa tersebut.<br />
Kehadiran penjajah-penjajah<br />
barat khususnya British telah<br />
memperkemaskan aktivitiaktiviti<br />
perancangan bandar<br />
dan pada tahun 1923 satu<br />
undang-undang khusus<br />
berkaitan perancangan bandar<br />
telah diwujudkan di Tanah<br />
Melayu.<br />
Hadirin yang dihormati; Pada<br />
hari ini perancangan bandar<br />
di Malaysia tidak lagi hanya<br />
merupakan satu domain kerja<br />
tetapi juga telah diiktiraf<br />
sebagai satu profession di<br />
bawah kumpulan ikhtisas<br />
atau pun professional yang<br />
mempunyai undang-undangnya<br />
sendiri.<br />
Profesional perancangan<br />
bandar tidak lagi bergerak<br />
bersendirian tetapi kini<br />
dipayungi oleh Pertubuhan<br />
Perancang Malaysia (MIP),<br />
Lembaga Perancang Bandar<br />
Malaysia (LPBM) dan Jabatan<br />
Perancangan Bandar dan Desa<br />
(JPBD).<br />
Pada tahun ini genaplah<br />
40 tahun MIP memayungi<br />
profession perancang bandar di<br />
Malaysia.<br />
Dengan usia yang sedemikian<br />
rupa maka sudah tentulah<br />
MIP layak mempunyai seorang<br />
yang berwawasan, berkaliber,<br />
mempunyai wadah yang jelas<br />
terhadap perancangan dan<br />
pembangunan negara serta<br />
merupakan negarawan ulung<br />
menjadi PENANUNG atau<br />
PATRON kepada MIP sejajar<br />
dengan perlembagaannya.<br />
Pada hari ini, MIP dengan<br />
keahlian melebihi 2,000 orang<br />
di dalam sektor kerajaan,<br />
pihak berkuasa tempatan,<br />
GLC, akademik dan swasta<br />
merasakan amat terharu dan<br />
berbangga untuk menerima<br />
kehadiran PENAUNG nya yang<br />
PERTAMA setelah menunggu<br />
selama 40 tahun di dalam<br />
pencarian.<br />
Hadirin yang dihormati; Saya<br />
sebagai PRESIDEN MIP dengan<br />
ini sukacitanya memaklumkan<br />
bahawa Yang Amat Berbahagia<br />
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad,<br />
mantan Perdana Menteri<br />
Malaysia telah bersetuju untuk<br />
dinobatkan sebagai PENAUNG<br />
PERTAMA MIP.<br />
Kita rasa amat bertuah kerana<br />
Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun<br />
sudi menerima jemputan MIP<br />
ini walau pun MIP bukanlah<br />
sebuah organisasi yang besar<br />
tetapi mempunyai citacita<br />
yang besar di dalam<br />
wadah perjuangan kearah<br />
memantapkan perancangan<br />
dan pembangunan mampan,<br />
kejiranan dan perbandaran<br />
yang berdaya huni, kelestarian<br />
alam sekitar semulajadi dan<br />
penerapan teknologi hijau di<br />
dalam pembangunan fizikal<br />
yang mempunyai pengaruh dan<br />
kesan secara langsung kepada<br />
kehidupan orang ramai di<br />
Malaysia.<br />
Dengan kehadiran Yang Amat<br />
Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir<br />
Muhamad sebagai PENAUNG<br />
MIP, yang juga telah diiktiraf<br />
diperingkat antarabangsa<br />
melalui Rafik Hariri United<br />
Nation Habitat Memorial Award<br />
pada September 2012 yang<br />
lepas, kita mengharapkan<br />
agar cetusan idea-idea baru<br />
dan nasihat yang bernas<br />
lagi berterusan kepada ahliahli<br />
MIP, pegawai-pegawai<br />
perancang bandar, pentadbir<br />
dan pengurus bandar, pemajupemaju<br />
perumahan, ahliahli<br />
akademik dan pelajarpelajar,<br />
profession-profession<br />
bersekutu serta pembuatpembuat<br />

Saya ingin mengambil<br />
kesempatan ini untuk mengajak<br />
rakan-rakan seperjuangan<br />
di dalam MIP bersama-sama<br />
dengan pengamal perancangan<br />
dan pengurusan bandar untuk<br />
sama-sama terus bersatu<br />
padu dan bekerjasama bagi<br />
memantapkan aktiviti-aktiviti<br />
perancangan bandar di<br />
Malaysia.<br />
Saya juga berdoa kepada<br />
Allah SWT agar profession<br />
perancangan bandar yang<br />
diterajui oleh MIP dengan<br />
kehadiran Yang Amat<br />
Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir<br />
sebagai PENASIHAT terus subur<br />
berkembang dan menjadi<br />
semakin penting kepada<br />
kerajaan dan rakyat Malaysia.<br />
Sukalah saya menggungkapkan<br />

Tenanglah tenang air di laut<br />
Sampan kolek mudik ke<br />

Ragi pulut dalam kati<br />
Tapai manis dalam kuali<br />
Selagi Tun Mahathir<br />

MIP tetap berada dihadapan<br />
untuk berbudi<br />
Di akhir kata, izinkan saya<br />

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS 3
Editorial<br />
Simplicity – one of the main<br />
purpose of simplicity is to<br />
make life easier.(Edward de<br />
Bono).<br />
A lot have been said about<br />
planning procedures,<br />
namely planning submission,<br />
being very tedious and<br />
complicated. We have tried<br />
to simplify the process by<br />
introducing the OSC – One<br />
Stop Centre. However, now<br />
we hear complaints about<br />
the OSC also becoming a very<br />
complicated process. So the<br />
question that arises now – has<br />
the OSC made life easier for<br />
everyone?<br />
Perhaps we need to take<br />
another closer look at the<br />
procedures in the submission<br />
of planning applications to<br />
the OSC. In spite of our noble<br />
effort to make the process<br />
easier, there are still some<br />
quarters who are asking for<br />
simpler process. Some of<br />
them went to the extent of<br />
trying to by-pass the whole<br />
process totally. And thus, we<br />
should perhaps re-examine<br />
the process we have created<br />
and try to improve on it.<br />
This takes me to the<br />
writings of Edward De Bono<br />
on ‘simplicity’. De Bono<br />
argues that in many cases<br />
the procedures that were<br />
established many years ago,<br />
possibly for very good reason,<br />
continue because no one<br />
has thought about changing<br />
them. The traditional way<br />
of doing things is often long<br />
and complex. A simpler way<br />
sometimes can be found,<br />
although not always, but<br />
usually possible. Things<br />
often evolve to become more<br />
complex, not more simple.<br />
We should ask ourselves then<br />
have we made things simpler<br />
through the OSC?<br />
Those who are familiar<br />
with the complex process<br />
no longer notice it and may<br />
even add more elements to<br />
increase its complexity. Have<br />
we been guilty of doing this?<br />
This is the point that we<br />
should re-examine. The OSC<br />
submission process it seems<br />
has indeed become more<br />
complex in some cases, with<br />
the introduction of volumes<br />
of forms that have to be filled<br />
in by the submitting planner<br />
and the client. It may be<br />
necessary in the eyes of the<br />
planning authority to make<br />
the task of processing the<br />
applications easier. However,<br />
does it make easier for the<br />
submitting person(s), too?<br />
De Bono argues that it may be<br />
better to simplify a process<br />
than to train people to cope<br />
with the complexity.<br />
As professionals, we<br />
progressively make things<br />
easier for ourselves by<br />
simplifying our judgement<br />
and decisions. With<br />
experience and hindsight we<br />
learn to identify which are<br />
the important things to look<br />
for. This is what we should be<br />
doing now to make the OSC<br />
system much better.<br />
There is often a much simpler<br />
way of doing things if we<br />
make the effort to look for<br />
it because simplicity does<br />
not just happen. But finding<br />
a simpler way is usually<br />
neither simple nor easy.<br />
Like other things, however,<br />
nothing will happen until<br />
we appoint someone to take<br />
the responsibility to make it<br />
happen.<br />
Ishak Ariffin<br />
Chief Editor<br />
Let’s work together to make<br />
this happen. JPBD should take<br />
the lead and work with the<br />
MIP, through its members, to<br />
start looking at ways in which<br />
we could further enhance the<br />
planning submission process<br />
that we have in place now.<br />
I hope to see the next team<br />
of MIP Council members take<br />
this challenge to help elevate<br />
our planning profession to<br />
a new level. Let’s make<br />
‘simplicity’ our goal.<br />
On behalf of the current<br />
Editorial team and the<br />
members of the Research<br />
and Publication Committee,<br />
I wish thank the current MIP<br />
Council members for their<br />
faith in us and wish the incoming<br />
team all the best!<br />
Best regards!<br />

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS 5
<strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> of Planners<br />
- HISTORY AND ITS BEGINNING<br />
The <strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> of Planners has come a long way<br />
in a very short time. The idea was mooted by the 1971<br />
Annual General Meeting of the Royal Town Planning <strong>Institute</strong><br />
(Malaysia Branch), the only body representing the planning<br />
profession in the country at that time. It was felt that for<br />
an independent country we should have a national planning<br />
institute and not be a branch of the Royal Town Planning<br />
<strong>Institute</strong> London.<br />
Kuala Lumpur. The amended version was circulated by the<br />
then Secretary, Chung Weng Foo to all the MIP members and<br />
adopted by the MIP Council on 26th January 1974. This <strong>dr</strong>aft<br />
Act was then sent to the then Minister of Local Government<br />
and Housing, Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui. Twenty-one years later<br />
and after countless representation by the Council to the<br />
respective Ministers, the Town Planners Act was finally<br />
approved by Parliament in 1995.<br />
In conformity to the decision a Protem Committee<br />
comprising of Mohd Rosli bin Buyong, Chung Weng Foo,<br />
Tan Soo Hai, Chin Wai Yeong and T. Mahesan was elected<br />
to <strong>dr</strong>aft the constitution for the proposed <strong>Institute</strong>. This<br />
committee met several times at 13, Jalan Yong Shook Lin,<br />
Petaling Jaya which was then the office of Tan Soo Hai.<br />
On the 6th September 1971 at a meeting held at the<br />
conference room of the Federal Department of Town and<br />
Country Planning, Jalan Cenderasari, Kuala Lumpur, the<br />
findings of the committee was presented. The 20 members<br />
present approved the constitution and elected a Protem<br />
Executive Council to legally establish the Pertubuhan under<br />
the Akta Pertubuhan 1966. The members of the committee<br />
were:<br />
President<br />
Mohd. Rosli bin Buyong<br />
Vice President Tan Soo Hai<br />
Hon. Secretary Chung Weng Foo<br />
The distinction of securing the Act is not the doing of any one<br />
individual. Every President and Council in the intervening<br />
21 years did much work in paving the way for the event,<br />
and much also has depended on the support of the Federal<br />
Department of Town and Country Planning and the Ministry<br />
of Local Government and Housing. Dato’ (Dr.) Ishak bin Ariff,<br />
the Director General of the Department of Town and Country<br />
Planning and his successor, Dato’ Zainuddin Muhammad<br />
and Dr. Mohamad Nong from the Ministry steered the Act<br />
through the National Council of Local Government and the<br />
Ministry. Dato’ Anwar Musa a Cabinet Minister at that time<br />
and a corporate planner of the institute provided invaluable<br />
assistance to ensure a smooth progress of the Act through<br />
the Cabinet.<br />

Application to register the <strong>Institute</strong> was made in November<br />
1971 and a temporary license to operate the <strong>Institute</strong> was<br />
issued by the Registrar of Society in December 1971. The full<br />
certificate was issued on 26th July 1972. It is history after<br />
that.<br />
Legitimizing The Profession<br />
We owe a debt to many of our members and to others for<br />
help given in steering the Town Planners Act through various<br />
levels of the Government. The Act itself was originally<br />
initiated by MIP. A <strong>dr</strong>aft was prepared in 1973 and discussed<br />
at a Special General Meeting held at the conference room<br />
at the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning,<br />
<strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> of Planners Logo was designed by<br />
Mr. Chin Wai Yeong. It is an inverted form of Ebenezer<br />
Howard’s three horse shoe magnets in which the chief<br />
advantages of living in the Town and the Country were<br />
set forth with the corresponding <strong>dr</strong>awbacks, while the<br />
advantage of the Town-Country concept of the Garden<br />
City are seen to be free from disadvantages of either.<br />
While Ebenezer Howard’s three magnets did not have<br />
any circles to bind them together, the MIP logo has<br />
the three magnets bound by two circles to reflect the<br />
need to marry town and country to give new hope, a<br />
new life to a developing Malaysia.<br />

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS
CHARLES READE (1880—1933)<br />
- FIRST GOVERNMENT TOWN PLANNER IN MALAYSIA -<br />
Charles Compton Reade (1880–<br />
1933) was a town planner<br />
who supported the garden<br />
city movement of the early<br />
twentieth century.<br />
Born in Invercargill, New<br />
Zealand in 1880, Reade<br />
became the major figure in<br />
disseminating Garden City<br />
ideas in Australia. Reade saw<br />
the evils of inner city slums<br />
while working as a journalist<br />
in England and began writing<br />
of the need for improved town<br />
planning, becoming active in<br />
the Garden Cities and Town<br />
Planning Association of Great<br />
Britain, of which he was acting<br />
secretary and editor for its<br />
magazine in 1913.<br />
Charles Reade In 1914–15 he<br />
led a lecture tour through<br />
five Australian States and<br />
New Zealand. South Australia<br />
appointed Reade as a town<br />
planning adviser in 1916 and<br />
later he became its first<br />
official Town Planner in 1918<br />
and he retained the position<br />
until 1920. In 1917 he <strong>dr</strong>ew up<br />
plans for an Adelaide garden<br />
suburb, initially with a working<br />
title of Mitcham Garden Suburb<br />
and officially named Colonel<br />
Light Gardens.<br />
The Royal Town Planning<br />
<strong>Institute</strong> was only formed in<br />
1914 (and Reade was one of<br />
its associate founder) and the<br />
first British University giving<br />
town planning courses was only<br />
offered in Liverpool in 1916.<br />
Just before the outbreak of the<br />
first World War (1914), Reade<br />
went to Australia with W.R<br />
Davidge (architect, surveyor<br />
and planner) to propagate the<br />
Garden City movement cause.<br />
He gave numerous lectures<br />
on the Garden City concept<br />
in many Australian town and<br />
subsequently was appointed as<br />
town planning advisor to the<br />
South Australian government in<br />
1916.<br />
In South Australia, he<br />
introduced a town planning<br />
legislature, established the<br />
South Australia town planning<br />
department, and complete a<br />
Charles Compton Reade (1880—1933)<br />
number of planning schemes.<br />
For example, Mitcham Garden<br />
Suburb in Adelaide, is today<br />
a heritage garden suburb,<br />
renamed Colonel Light<br />
Garden, Reade applied the<br />
Garden City concept in many<br />
of his layout even suggested<br />
a second park belt system to<br />
Adelaide, further enchanting<br />
the existing park belt laid out<br />
by Colonel William Light (the<br />
son to Captain Francis Light of<br />
Penang).<br />
Reade convened Australia’s<br />
first two town planning and<br />
housing conferences in 1917<br />
and 1918. He also twice tried<br />
to get town planning legislation<br />
through the State legislature:<br />
on the first occasion it was<br />
defeated by the propertyoriented<br />
upper House and on<br />
the second was passed but was<br />
heavily amended by the House.<br />
Reade then left Australia for<br />
overseas planning positions,<br />
establishing a town planning<br />
department in Kuala Lumpur,<br />
Malaya in 1921 and moving to<br />
Northern Rhodesia in 1929.<br />
Reade’s lasting legacy (apart<br />
from the establishment and<br />
growth of the Federal Town<br />
Planning Department) is the<br />
slightly less known new town of<br />
Kuala Kubu Bharu –Malaya first<br />
new town and along the lines<br />
of the garden city ideology.<br />
He committed suicide in South<br />
Africa in 1933, only nine days<br />
after becoming Chief Planning<br />
Officer of Witwatersrand.<br />
CONTRIBUTION OF CHARLES<br />
READE<br />
A number of local planning<br />
academicians and an increasing<br />
number of international<br />
historians have recently rescued<br />
Reade from obscurity and<br />
acknowledged his contribution<br />
towards the development of<br />
the town planning service in<br />
South Australia, Malaya, and<br />
Northern Rhodesia.<br />
Reade in particular was<br />
recognized as one of the first<br />
generation of self-styled town<br />
planner working in the British<br />
colonies promoting the cause<br />
of town planning within a<br />
generally hostile environment<br />
to town planning (Home, 2000):<br />
such hostilities are largely<br />
a conflict between public<br />
interest ideology; unfetish<br />
property development; and a<br />
failure to appreciate political<br />
sensitivity within an indirect an<br />
indirect British rule in Malaya.<br />
Two major areas of historical<br />
interests framed this article.<br />
Firstly, his planning ideologies<br />
and methods applied (replanning<br />
and redistribution of<br />
lots)2 and secondly, to a lesser<br />
extent, the garden city design<br />
principles which he steadfastly<br />
held throughout his whole<br />
career till his untimely death<br />
in Johannesburg, South Africa<br />
in 1933.<br />
Both ideologies were ‘alien’ to<br />
landowners and their agents<br />
in Malaya. Such methods and<br />
ideologies provide a fascinating<br />
analysis of conflicting interests<br />
within a British rule favoring<br />
appeasing property interest<br />
and maintaining the status<br />
quo over the social concerns<br />
of eradicating and prevention<br />
of slum and haphazard<br />
development in the major<br />
towns of British Malaya (the<br />
task Reade was appointed to<br />
handle).<br />
Reade established a small town<br />
planning department in Kuala<br />
Lumpur on 18th January<br />
1921. He did an immediate<br />
survey of the conditions<br />
of towns in the country<br />
and reported this to the<br />
government. His report on the<br />
need for a permanent town<br />
planning machinery for Malaya,<br />
entitled “Town Planning And<br />
Development In The Federated<br />
Malay States (1922)” has been<br />
considered an important<br />
piece of historical document,<br />
promoting the need for a town<br />
planning machinery for the<br />
country (Goh Ban Lee, 1990).<br />
In it, he outlined important<br />
aspects of town planning<br />
requirements and the need for<br />
a legislature to manage the<br />
growth of towns in a orderly<br />
manner, emphasizing on<br />
prevention rather than cure,<br />
the difference between<br />
planning and sub-division,<br />
economies under Town<br />
Planning etc.<br />

Water, Water Everywhere, I Turn My Tap but It’s Not There<br />
By Ishak Ariffin<br />
We live in the tropical zone, with 12 hours of sunshine all year<br />
round. We get plenty of rain all year round too, some months a<br />
lot more than others. Only the northwest corner of the Peninsula<br />
gets a distinct <strong>dr</strong>y period from January to March. This is the area<br />
that lies to the west of an imaginary line between Songkhla and<br />
Sungai Petani, that ecologists called the Kedawi region. Now<br />
that has changed too, with the erratic weather pattern that we<br />
have been experiencing in recent years.<br />
I remember the grass in my home state up there in laksa land<br />
(Kedah, of course!) used to turn yellowish brown in January and<br />
remained that way until late March. Semi-deciduous trees shed<br />
their leaves like in the autumn in temperate countries (maybe it<br />
is the trees’ strategy to reduce water loss). That was when the<br />
bare dedap trees sprout flowers in deep red amongst its leafless<br />
branches, and the kapok (kekabu) seeds cracked to show off<br />
their white fluffy fibres that we used for stuffing pillows and<br />
mattresses in the old days. The <strong>dr</strong>ains in big towns such as Alor Star<br />
were stagnant, helping to retain some humidity, although they<br />
smell unpleasant. When it coincided with the padi harvesting,<br />
you can catch the most glorious sunsets in the evenings. It was<br />
hot and <strong>dr</strong>y at that time of year. Then everything came back to<br />
life in glorious green when the rain returns in April. This year we<br />
have had thunderstorms in late January and February.<br />
Water is Life<br />
But we were never really short of water.<br />
That is no longer true. Despite having an estimated 990 billion<br />
m3 (2008 figures) of rainfall annually, and 566 billion m3 of that<br />
total flowing into our rivers,and our water usage being roughly<br />
only 3% of the latter, we are running short of water supply.<br />
Domestic and industrial water demand is only about 6,000<br />
million m3 a year!<br />
Initially, it was the rapid growth of industrial estates that<br />
brought shortages of water in their neighbouring towns. Then<br />
came the rapid urbanisation, all along the west coast of the<br />
Peninsula. Factories that used to be way out of town suddenly<br />
found themselves surrounded by housing estates. Many places<br />
begin to experience frequent water supply disruption.I’ll bet<br />
not many people remember the <strong>dr</strong>ought in 1998 that brought<br />
hardship on some 1.8m Klang Valley residents due to water<br />
rationing.<br />
But we still have plenty of rain and flowing rivers, except that<br />
our most of our rivers now looked like a perpetual supply of<br />
tehtarik. Our water treatment plants had to work overtime to<br />
make the water potable or clean enough for our consumption.<br />
And we are running short of rivers that can provide clean water<br />
to the treatment plants as development encroaches further and<br />
further upstream and inland.<br />
8<br />
97% of our 6,000 million m 3 per year potable water supply comes<br />
from rivers and the balance is from ground water. In contrast,<br />
a country like Denmark consumed almost 1,000 million m3<br />
per year, and it is entirely sourced from groundwater. Their<br />
groundwater resource is estimated to be only 1,800 million m³<br />
per year.<br />
Sg Selangor Dam<br />
In Perlis we had to inundate 5% of the land area to create the<br />
Timah-Tasoh impoundment to provide water for irrigation and<br />
for domestic consumption. Perlis was totally dependent on<br />
groundwater and water supply from Kedah. However, it was then<br />
found that the demand for domestic & industrial uses exhausted<br />
the original design capacity of the dam. In Selangor, a water<br />
treatment plant downstream of Sungai Bernam had to be closed<br />
due to saline intrusion. This was due the reduced river flow that<br />
resulted in sea water flowing in further inland up to the water<br />
intake points. One of the things that affect water level in the<br />
river is the increasing water extraction upstream. Loss of water<br />
catchment areas due to opening of forested areas for other uses<br />
also affected river flow.<br />
Fifteen years or so ago an area near Balakong in Cheras, near<br />
a water treatment plant suffered water supply disruption but<br />
it was raining a lot and the houses around it were suffering<br />
from flash floods. How could we have water shortage and flood<br />
at the same time?In 1991 another state suffered water supply<br />
shortage for a number of years because the main water supply<br />
dam was contaminated by industrial effluent. Now we have<br />
found that several states in the Peninsula are running short<br />
of water come 2020. We have resorted to expensive remedial<br />
actions that include building more dams and water transfers<br />
between neighbouring states through <strong>tun</strong>nels punched through<br />
our mountains and hills.<br />
In the meantime, we remain complacent about our per capita<br />
water consumption. We continue to waste our water as if the<br />
supply is endless. The national average consumption was 210<br />
“Too much water” - When the river overflows<br />
NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS
litres per capita per day in 2011. Per capita consumption in<br />
the west coast states in Peninsular Malaysia are all above the<br />
national average.Some industry experts argued that the real<br />
figures are much higher, closer to 300 litres per person per day.<br />
But our daily per capita usage is indeed higher than Singapore<br />
(155 litres), the Philippines (175 litres) and Indonesia (130 litres).<br />
If we compare with more advanced countries, in Denmark it is<br />
only 114 litres, Australia 150 litres, England & Wales 150 litres.<br />
USA is perhaps the only country that consumed more than us, at<br />
300-380 litres per capita per day!<br />
Some Third World countries don’t even have half the water we<br />
used daily. The UN Population Fund recommended that the fair<br />
level of domestic water usage is 100 litres per person per day.<br />
We can get by with just 30 litres for <strong>dr</strong>inking and cooking and to<br />
maintain hygiene.<br />
We also suffer huge losses due to non-revenue water (NRW),<br />
largely due to leaking pipes that transport water to our taps and<br />
water theft. NRW for Kelantan, Pahang, Perlis and Sabah is more<br />
than 50%.The highly industrialised and developed states in the<br />
country are already experiencing pressures from acute supplies<br />
to meet the demands from their residents, the industries and<br />
the development projects. The loss from NRW is estimated at<br />
about 43% of total water revenue! And if we look at it in another<br />
simple minded way, it would also mean that for whatever amount<br />
we invested in creating new water supply (such as building more<br />
dams and treatment plants) we are only going to get half the<br />
value invested before we even start the construction if we don’t<br />
tackle the NRW first.<br />
Leaking pipe<br />
Not many people realised that we flushed 30% of our water<br />
down the toilets and spent another 35% in the showers or baths.<br />
Only 10% is actually used for <strong>dr</strong>inking and cooking. Laun<strong>dr</strong>y and<br />
cleaning takes the other 25%.It doesn’t make sense for us to<br />
spend so much money to supply treated water and then 90% of it<br />
just went down the <strong>dr</strong>ains and sewers.That’s after we have lost<br />
nearly half of it through leaky pipes (NRW). Silly, aren’t we?Our<br />
water supply is so heavily subsidised and the water from our tap<br />
is so cheap that we are not bothered by our wasteful habits.<br />
Only when we turn our taps on and no water came out will we<br />
start jumping and tearing our hair out.<br />
Try telling an African in Ethiopia that we used clean water to<br />
flush the toilets and they will probably think that we are crazy.<br />
One third of the world population is already facing problems<br />
of water shortage and poor quality <strong>dr</strong>inking water. UNESCO has<br />
predicted that water shortage will be a worldwide problem by<br />
2020. Prophets of doom have wagered that the next world war<br />
will be over control of fresh water supplies, not oil. We can live<br />
fairly comfortably without electricity for a day or two (although<br />
a lot of people will have suffered Internet with<strong>dr</strong>awals!), but<br />
not without water!<br />
Although 70% of the human body is water, we cannot survive<br />
more than a week without water. Water is life. Without water<br />
there is no life. In the Quran it is stated, “Behold! in the creation<br />
of the heavens and the earth; ... in the rain which Allah Sends<br />
down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to<br />
an earth that is dead;...” (2:164); “And Allah has created every<br />
animal from water...”(24:45); “... It is He Who has created man<br />
from water...(25:54)” (translations by Abdullah Yusuf Ali).<br />
Singapore has put in place their long term strategy for their water<br />
supply. They will not be highly dependent on water supplied<br />
from Johor anymore come 2060. The second of the two bilateral<br />
agreements with Johor will expire in 2061.The first agreement<br />
expired in 2011. They have put in place measures to ensure selfsufficiency<br />
by recycling their wastewater for consumption that<br />
they termed NEWater.<br />
NEWater will supply40% of Singapore’s water needs by 2020 and<br />
a further 25% supplied by desalinisation. NEWater is primarily<br />
for non-potable industrial uses. A small percentage of NEWater<br />
is also blended with raw water in the reservoir for treatment<br />
as potable water. They will cut their per capita consumption<br />
to 147 litres per day. By 2060, NEWater will supply 50% and<br />
desalinisation another 30% of their water supply.This is sensible<br />
considering that only 30% of demand comes from Singapore’s<br />
domestic sector and the non-domestic sector consumes the<br />
other 70%. Furthermore, we are going to literally flush 90%<br />
of the water down the <strong>dr</strong>ains anyway. It is a win-win situation<br />
because recycling most of our wastewater also means that we<br />
reduce the possibility of polluting our waterways.<br />
In our case, we are not only consuming too much but we are<br />
also polluting our water sources. And our strategy in the past<br />
has always been to build more dams. The first National Water<br />
Resources Study commissioned in 2000proposed the construction<br />
of another 50 dams to meet our water demand by 2050! This was<br />
based on a continuous linear growth of demand. That’s a big<br />
assumption that our rivers will be able to supply enough water<br />
way beyond 2050 and we cannot change our water consumption<br />
habits.<br />
There have been very little discussions about managing demand<br />
and cutting down our daily per capita usage. Our focus has been<br />
too much on the supply (and the potential profits that can be<br />
made from construction of water supply facilities!).Demand<br />
management is a very important strategy that complements<br />
the supply strategy, because water supply in not infinite. We<br />
should not wait until our potential water resources have been<br />
exhausted before we start looking at managing the way we use<br />
water.<br />
There have not been enough efforts towards cleaning up our<br />
rivers that passes through our urban centres to return them to<br />
at least Class IIB level (i.e. suitable for recreational use with<br />
body contact) so that we can use them again for recreation. For<br />
several decades more than 50% of our urban rivers monitored<br />
by Jabatan Alam Sekitar have lingered within the polluted and<br />
slightly polluted range. The main contributors to river pollution<br />
have been named as sewage treatment plants (I thought they<br />
were supposed to clean the wastewater?), manufacturing<br />
industries and palm oil mills. Earthworks have also been a major<br />
contributor of pollution of our rivers.<br />
We have the technologies now to clean wastewater up to<br />
standard A (as clean as the pristine river water) of effluent<br />
discharge. Hence, water discharged from our sewage treatment<br />
plant that utilises this technology will be cleaner than water<br />
from our rivers. Taking water from the river now is akin to taking<br />
water from the sewer since we treat our rivers like one! In my<br />
course of work I have come across a river where the water<br />
sampled is almost Class IV (suitable only for irrigation, not even<br />
suitable for livestock consumption!) near a water intake point!<br />
Let’s not wait until the last tree has been cut, the last fish has<br />
been caught and the last river has been poisoned before we<br />
realise that money cannot be eaten!<br />

and development of sustainable cities concept become more important<br />
when Japanese government promoted this idea by introducing the idea<br />
of ‘Future City’ in the Rio+20 in June 2012. This Future City initiative<br />
was launched by Japanese Government by selecting 11 Japanese cities<br />
and also has the intention to explore implementation of this concept<br />
outside Japan. In order to implement this idea effectively, CASBEE<br />
(Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency)<br />
concept will be adopted to evaluate the progress this urban challenge.<br />
This symposium aims to introduce the Future City concept and<br />
CASBEE evaluation tools as well as to ad<strong>dr</strong>ess these new challenges<br />
of sustainable cities in Malaysia and Japan. The symposium will have<br />
speaker and panelist highlighting the use of new innovative tools such as<br />

TOWARDS SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS<br />
By Hj I<strong>dr</strong>us Alimuda<br />
In 2011, the Global Peace Index ranked Malaysia as the most<br />
peaceful country in Southeast Asia and the fourth safest in the<br />
Asia Pacific region. Even with those accolades, Malaysia is not one<br />
to rest on its law.<br />
Under <strong>Malaysian</strong> Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s<br />
Government Transformation Programme, the Federal Department<br />
of Town and Country Planning (FDTCP) of the Ministry of Housing<br />
and Local Government will expand the Safe City Programme to<br />
reduce crime and promote a culture of crime prevention.<br />
The Safe City Programme encapsulates the public safety<br />
initiatives under the Government Transformation Programme’s<br />
National Key Result Area, and at the centre of this effort is the<br />
Safe City Monitoring System which integrates crime data from<br />
the Police Reporting System with land use information from the<br />
FDTCP and the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, using<br />
the Geographical Information System (GIS) platform.<br />
According to Peter Valentine Amandus, Town Planner and GIS<br />
Manager at the FDTCP, the SCMs is considered as a huge milestone<br />
for the Department asit has never been attempted before. While<br />
several jurisdictions have only started using GIS for their crime<br />
mapping initiatives, he say it is not as sophisticated and as wellintegrated<br />
as the SCMs.<br />
“The SCMs allows the Royal <strong>Malaysian</strong> Police (RMP) to monitor<br />
the effectiveness of crime prevention efforts in areas under the<br />
jurisdiction of the local authorities and also enable existing and<br />
potential crime hotspots to be identified and closely monitored.”<br />
The system is currently being used by 51 police stations and 12<br />
municipal councils. By end of 2012, the system is extended to be<br />
used by 254 police stations.<br />
Its main objective is to create a collaborative platform where<br />
agencies can work together to reduce crime by way of sharing<br />
information through a user friendly web portal. In addition, since<br />
the system helps translate crime data into digital maps, the<br />
police are able to shift away from using pin maps to help them<br />
visualise crime information.<br />
“Pin maps, most of the time, are not permanent and have the<br />
tendency to be discarded and changed over time which makes<br />
doing a trend analysis of crime quite a tedious task. This situation<br />
also encourages local authorities to develop their own GIS crime<br />
mapping tools which are often very expensive to develop,” he<br />
says.<br />
In order to ad<strong>dr</strong>ess this concern, the FDTCP integrated the SCMs<br />
with the RMP’s Police Reporting System, an online crime reporting<br />
tool which records crimes documented by police stations across<br />
the whole country. By integrating the two systems, crime can be<br />
located on the map which will then be registered in standard<br />
coordinates and used for data storage and analysis.<br />
Since the SCMs provides geo-processing analysis real-time to<br />
users, the core processing server is segregated to meet high<br />
demand in web-based environment. Thus, FDTCP is able to be less<br />
dependent on a physical server, thereby substantially reducing<br />
costs in utilities by nearly 50 per cent.<br />
With the new system in place, FDTCP is able to equip the police<br />
force with the capability to not only identify crime hot spots,<br />
but also study different reasons for possible causes of crimes.<br />
Furthermore, the government is able to save an estimated RM15<br />
million (US$ 4.8 million) by using a single system for all of its<br />
crime-mapping activities.<br />
“Oftentimes, we see agencies working in silos and doing their own<br />
activities to combat crime. This system allows us to orchestrate<br />
our efforts towards determining how we can best allocate funds<br />
for resources such as CCTVs and how the RMP can strategically<br />
mobilise the network of the police force,” says Amandus.<br />
Meanwhile Senior Assistant Commissioner of the Royal<br />
<strong>Malaysian</strong> Police, Dato’ ZainalAbidin bin Kasim, highlights the<br />
‘aoristic’,’timeline’ and ’hotspot’ feature in the SCMs as crucial<br />
tools for the RMP as it enables them to holistically plan how they<br />
can optimise their resources and respond to certain crimes and<br />
hotspot areas.<br />
“Vehicle theft, for example, is one the most common crimes<br />
recorded in our system. Since we have the data on where vehicle<br />
theft incidents occur, we are able to identify key hotspot areas<br />
and plan how we will be mobilising our team. By doing so, we are<br />
also able to curb other vehicle-theft-related incidents such as<br />
underhanded activities by illegal workshops,” says Dato’ Zainal.<br />
“Using the SCMs for planning, organising and implementing our<br />
crime prevention efforts has helped us expand the scope of our<br />
‘omnipresence programme’ and engage communities in raising<br />
awareness on issues concerning public safety,”<br />
He adds that because of well-informed planning, the RMP was<br />
able to make significant progress in reducing crime rates in about<br />
50 local authorities. Furthermore, public perception towards the<br />
performance of the Police Force and the safety of their community<br />
has greatly improved.<br />
“This inter-agency collaboration is achieving its goals of<br />
providing citizens with the ‘peace of mind’ that we are keeping<br />
neighbourhoods safe by taking smarter approaches to public<br />
safety and security, allowing the police force to better respond<br />
and anticipate events, and if possible, prevent untoward incidents<br />
from happening.”<br />
Dato’ Zainal shares that because of the benefits derived from<br />
using the SCMs in crime response and analysis, the government<br />
is looking into extending this capability to the Narcotics and<br />
Traffic Divisions soon to further improve their efforts in tracking<br />
locations and activities of <strong>dr</strong>ug dealers and to improve the police<br />
force’s response during road emergencies.<br />

WORLD HAPPINESS REPORT<br />
Malaysia was placed at 51st out of 156 countries.<br />
United Nation’s World Happiness Report listed that<br />
most of the happiest countries in the world are all<br />
in Northern Europe (Denmark, Norway & Finland).<br />
While the least happy countries are all poor<br />
countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.<br />
According to the report, it is not just wealth that<br />
makes people happy : political freedom, strong<br />
social networks and an absence of corruption are<br />
also important.<br />

POST WCSC TECHNICAL<br />
TOUR TO SPAIN<br />
The technical tour was successfully organized from 10th –<br />
18th November 2012 and participated by 28 representatives<br />
from local authorities, developers, state agencies, private<br />
practitioners and a journalist. The tour also included a one<br />
day participation to the World Congress & Exhibition Of<br />
smart Cities in Barcelona.<br />
The tour took delegates to the cities of Barcelona, Bilbao<br />
and also Granada. The visit to Granada which holds the<br />
Alhambra was an added bonus for the <strong>Malaysian</strong> to see for<br />
themselves the great Islamic architecture within a World<br />
Heritage Site.<br />
3 technical programmes were conducted. These were the<br />
briefing by Barcelona Activa on 22@; the briefing by the<br />
Deputy Mayor of Bilbao on the city transformation and the<br />
Smart Cities Conference & Exhibition. A brief summary<br />
of the lessons learnt as well as the key takeaways are<br />
described below :<br />
22@ project by Barcelona Activa – Barcelona Activa was a<br />
setup by the City Authority as a research and development<br />
corporation private entity, to develop an old part of the<br />
city. The 22@ area once hosted industrial and manufacturing<br />
plants close to the centre of Barcelona. The 200 acre site is<br />
now being developed into a high income generating, value<br />
added services industry such as media and communications,<br />
the Art and theatres, educational institutions,commerce<br />
and retails. It has attracted investment from all over is now<br />
an example of a successful redevelopment program of the<br />
city.<br />
The Bilbao Effect – Bilboa was a steel based industrial<br />
city since the 1800’s. In mid 1970’s the steel industry fell<br />
<strong>dr</strong>astically and the city had 25% unemployment, a bad<br />
urban environment and a population that was politically<br />
and socially against the government. In early 1980, the<br />
city government formulated a plan to revive the city. This<br />
master plan was generally sustainability, which they believe<br />
will lead to economic and social recovery. Four main<br />
elements of the plan were Urban physical development,<br />
socio- economic components, mobility and accessibility&<br />
Infrastructure service (clean water & sewerage). The<br />
delegates were amazed at the transformation. A river boat<br />
cruise gave the oppor<strong>tun</strong>ity for the delegates to personally<br />
observe beautiful environment that Bilboa now has. A visit<br />
redeveloped central brewery into a cultural, sports, leisure<br />
and knowledge center further convinced that with political<br />
will, city development and project can be very successfully<br />
towards achieving city with a good quality of life.<br />
The Smart City Congress & Exhibition – Barcelona holds<br />
many world events and congresses, held at plaza Europa.<br />
The area is a redevelopment of a once industrial warehouse<br />
and a factory site. The Smart City Congress & Exhibition<br />
is held annually with many companies showcase new<br />
initiatives towards Green Cities. There were also companies<br />
that offered consultancy services for cities to go green<br />

(Contd. from Pg 24)<br />
The cities of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya gave town planners in<br />
this country the oppor<strong>tun</strong>ity to design world class cities using<br />
standards that are innovative. This is in order to not just create a<br />
pleasing physical environment but also to engineer societies living<br />
within them to interact and socialize in order to ad<strong>dr</strong>ess issues of<br />
modern city living. Tun was the visionary behind the development<br />
of these 2 cities, and Town planners cannot thank him enough for<br />
giving us the oppor<strong>tun</strong>ity to showcase the importance of proper<br />
physical planning and development.<br />
Our Own Charlie’s Angels<br />
They may not be <strong>dr</strong>essed to kill. They may not <strong>dr</strong>ive<br />
fast cars. They may not have the licence to kill. But<br />
give them any task. They will get it done. Whether<br />
it is an update of CPD points, payments, inquiry,<br />
appointments, meetings, seminars. They will be at<br />
it. You can’t avoid bumping into them. These are our<br />
own version of real life day-to-day MIP’s Charlie’s<br />
Angels. Their task is to serve the council & the<br />
members.<br />
Puan Siti Nor Azmi, Cik Norasyikin Roslan and Cik Ana<br />
Kashfi Muhammad are the 3 current permanent staff<br />
at the institute.<br />
We cannot thank them enough for their dedication &<br />
responsibility to the <strong>Institute</strong><br />
The arrival of MIP Patron Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the<br />
luncheon at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur<br />
There are a thousand and one accolades to be bestowed upon this<br />
great leader of our nation. However, amongst town planners, we<br />
recognize him as being someone who laid the foundation for a<br />
better physical environment for our towns and cities. His vision<br />
pushed us planners to re-think on a more holistic approach of<br />
township design. We realized that planning is more than just<br />
meeting up with standards and guidelines and <strong>dr</strong>awing spatial<br />
blueprints for various economic activities. In staying true to Tun<br />
Dr. Mahathir’s compelling need to develop and grow the nation<br />
and its people, we planners followed through by ensuring that<br />
people are not deprived of their basic needs to live, work, play<br />
in the cities, town and villages. People became the centre of our<br />
town planning efforts.<br />
From Right: Puan Siti Nor Azmi,<br />
Cik Norasyikin Roslan and Cik Ana Kashfi<br />
For that we are deeply honored to have Tun Dr. Mahathir<br />
Mohammad, the <strong>patron</strong> of the <strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> of Planners.<br />
Thank you for showing us the way for a better future.<br />

NEWSLETTER OF THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF PLANNERS 23
MIP PATRON AWARD : TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD<br />
Reported by: Rahim Ariffin Photos by: Naz Tajudin<br />
<strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> of Planners (MIP) has <strong>honoured</strong> Former Prime<br />
Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by accounting him its <strong>patron</strong><br />
at a special luncheon, on 7th November 2012 in conjunction<br />
with MIP’s 40th anniversary.<br />
MIP President, Prof Dato’ Dr Alias Abdullah said the award was<br />
to recognize Tun Dr Mahathir’s contributions to Malaysia’s<br />
development.<br />
“He is our top planner for the country with his economic<br />
planning and strategies that have impacted the spatial planning,<br />
development and physical form of the country. His involvement<br />
in planning Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and the Kuala Lumpur<br />
International Airport (KLIA) has changed our country in many<br />
ways. It was Tun Dr. Mahathir’s knowledge and experience of<br />
more than 20 years in developing this nation that had led to the<br />
recognition”.<br />
Tun who was named the recipient of the 2012 Rafik Hariri UN-<br />
Habitat Memorial Award in June 2012, is recognised for his<br />
leadership, statesmanship and good governance, thus there is<br />
no doubt he is the best candidates our <strong>patron</strong>.<br />
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad giving his speech to all town<br />
planners and participants at the luncheon<br />
and villages. We have grown exponentially through his visionary<br />
leadership.<br />
Town and regional planners, the profession for which the <strong>Institute</strong><br />
regulates, has benefitted greatly from his leadership. We have<br />
had to formulate development plans to catch up with his vision<br />
of providing first world infrastructure, such as highways, a new<br />
airport, the KLCC development, KL Tower, the production of<br />
the <strong>Malaysian</strong> made car, the Multi Media Super Corridor and<br />
most of all the new cities of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. All<br />
the initiatives mentioned have meant the opening up of new<br />
areas with allied facilities such as new townships for housing,<br />
commerce, recreational and community facilities. Town<br />
Planners in this country faced a giant task of balancing the<br />
needs of development with preservation of the environment.<br />
It was under Tun’s leadership that Town Planners formulated the<br />
Philosophy of a Holistic development approach. This philosophy<br />
was implemented in the design of the new Federal Administrative<br />
Capital of Putrajaya, a brainchild of Tun.<br />
Prof Dato’ Dr Alias Abdullah gives special momentos to<br />
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad<br />
MIP invited some 700 participants all of whom are professionals<br />
including engineers, architects, surveyors, and developers to<br />
attend the event which was held at Renaissance Hotel, Kuala<br />
Lumpur.<br />
Indeed, there has been no better planner than Tun who has<br />
shaped not just the economic landscape of the country but also<br />
its physical form. His vision for a developed and prosperous<br />
Malaysia, through his 22 years as the chief executive of the<br />
nation, has brought about immense changes to cities, towns<br />
The National Spatial Plan was then generated to transcribe the<br />
economic growth plans by Tun into a spatial form, such that<br />
development will be coordinated amongst the various states and<br />
the nation’s natural heritage will be preserved.<br />
Following this was the more detailed National Urbanization<br />
Strategy which was to ad<strong>dr</strong>ess balanced city development with<br />
social and environmental needs. At the same time, Wawasan<br />
2020, another initiative by Tun became the platform for future<br />
growth strategies of the nation. Town Planners had to quickly<br />
institute a paradigm shift in which human settlement planning,<br />
design and related components would have to deliver a caring<br />
society, amongst others.<br />
