The Malay Peninsula
This book attempts to evaluate the role of the Malay Peninsula as a crossroads in the great wave of commercial relationships along the maritime Silk Road from the first centuries of the Christian era to the 14th century. Through these exchanges, representatives of all the civilizations of Asia entered into contact along its shores. They left in this place a part of themselves, as can be seen in the great stylistic diversity of the religious and commercial artefacts which have been found in the area. These artefacts have been analysed and categorized afresh in the light of more precise information provided in Chinese texts concerning the nature of the political entities developing at the time: often dynamic city states or more modest chiefdoms.
Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia
During the half century following Malaysian independence in 1957, the country’s National Museum underwent a transformation that involved a shift from serving as a repository for displays of mounted butterflies and stuffed animals and accounts of the colonial experience to an overarching national narrative focused on culture and history. These topics are sensitive and highly disputed in Malaysia, and many of the country’s museums contest the narrative that underlies displays in the National Museum, offering alternative treatments of subjects such as Malaysia's pre-Islamic past, the history and heritage of the Melaka sultanate, memories of the Japanese Occupation, national cultural policy,...
The Peasant Robbers of Kedah, 1900-1929
In the early twentieth century, social banditry was endemic in the countryside near the border between the northern Malaysian state of Kedah and Siam, and some outlaws became local heroes. Cheah Boon Kheng's account of peasant banditry and the society where it flourished draws on colonial records, literary sources and interviews to examine the circumstances that led the Governor, Sir Laurence Guillemard, to call the border area "one of the most lawless and insecure districts" in British Malaya during the 1920s. Considering banditry from the perspective of the peasant community, Cheah concludes that it grew out of lax government, weak policing, the geography of the border region and underdevelopment, and suggests that bandit heroes might be seen as symbols of rural protest. His discussion of the details of rural life in the early twentieth century and the conditions that underlay rural crime provide a unique social history of rural society in Malaya. This innovative volume broke new ground in Malaysian studies when it first appeared in 1988. This second edition is intended for the work to reach a new audience.

Bujang Valley
Malaysians across different generations are likely to have learned about the ancient site of the Bujang Valley in the state of Kedah from their historical textbooks and also recall from previous news reports in recent years involving a private developer which demolished a portion of its sacred Hindu-Buddhist shrines, known as candi. Where does that leave Malaysians today, and what does it mean to understand the history of Bujang Valley and the role it plays in Malaysian national identity?

2D Electrical Imaging Assessement for Geotropical Region Issues (Penerbit USM)
This book aims to impart knowledge on tropical climate towards engineering and environmental field and 2D resistivity method in general. It is written in its simplest way, illustrated by examples and illustrations to enhance readers’ understanding of the general concepts and governing theories relating to electrical methods and how they are applied to solve problems affecting the subsurface of the tropical regions. The discussion centres around the common problems, detection using geophysical method of 2D resistivity, reliability of the method to depicts the subsurface, and solutions to overcome the problems related to tropical region. Examples of 2D resistivity survey in various fields were presented in this book including structural geology, groundwater exploration, mineral prospecting and quarry management. Others are seawater intrusion, land subsidence, geoengineering and environmental hazards. This book is suitable as a reference and companion to geophysics students, professional geophysicists, geologists and civil engineers as well as personnel involved in subsurface electrical works.
