Dialect and folk rhymes are valuable intangible assets because they have inherited the culture, history and characteristics of immigrants from various regions. When they decided to stay in this new place, they have also brought their own language and culture along with them. Malaysia is a multiracial country which promotes multilingual interaction among the society. Therefore, the Chinese society also undergoes dialect variation particularly to multilingual environment in this society.However, the declining of the usage of dialects and lack of documentation about settling history directly affected the society. These intangible assets will be lost when the old settlements are being cleared off by the development of the society. It is necessary for us to take action and make documentation, so that these cultural and historical heritage can be kept in a better condition. A settlement nearby coast of Peninsular will be suitable for this project as the early settlements usually was built nearby the coastTaking Tanjung Piandang as the location of project, it is a fisherman's town nearby Parit Buntar, Perak. The town mainly consist of Teochew, which recorded the history of early Chinese settlements in Malaya. The village also surrounded by different races residence, having connection and interaction between the societies. By carrying out surveys on dialects and interviews on local residents, this project aims to collect folk rhymes, interpret the linguistic connection between local residents and early immigrants, and hence leave a documentation about the cultural heritage of that area.

Local graduates failed the English competency tests set by the interviewers based on Bernama report. This lack of proficiency in English amongst those entering the workforce will inevitably contribute towards the continuing decline in Malaysia’s international competitiveness and employability. The trend is particularly noticeable in the rural and even the suburban areas where the main bulk of the country’s population resides, and it has become clear that urgent action is needed from all parties to address these language gaps. Exposure, encouragement and motivation to enhance young generation in using English language must start from the early stage as in primary school. This continual attitude using English in everyday communication will give a big impact for students in terms of their English Proficiency in the future.Therefore Communication and Media Club in collaboration with have Faculty of Communication and Media, Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) decided to conduct the English literacy programme entitled “English for All” and in so doing, to play our part in helping to create knowledgeable and confident young Malaysians capable of communicating in English globally. In the initial phase, the programme will be made available to primary school students (Year 4-Year 6) from selected schools (one urban, one rural) in the State of Selangor and Perak, with the long-term vision being to expand the programme to other schools and other States in due course. The maximum number of students who will be involved per session is 40. The implementation of the programme will be the responsibility of a team of resource persons from Faculty of Communication and Media headed by Faculty Dean.

Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, with settlers from various regions mixing to create its unique cultural form. The early settlers bring about their own cultures and languages, and after centuries of interaction with each other, created a rich historical and cultural heritage unique to every settlement. However, due to many reasons, most of these settling histories were not in record, and as memories of these early settler stories faded away, they will be lost forever. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the documentation of oral histories to preserve our own local and regional histories.Sungai Udang is such an example. It is a century old fishing settlement, in northern Perak, made up of mainly Teochew dialect group, surrounded by Malay kampungs, with connections to other Teochew fishing settlements nearby. It is one fishing settlements along the west coast of Malay Peninsula that still largely preserve its natural form of livelihood from the early settlers. However, due to developments in recent years, especially the decline in fishing industry, things are starting to take a change. Especially with the Mandarin language spread within the Chinese communities nation-wide, its Teochew dialect is also losing ground.Due to the fast changing pace of society in recent decades, we are losing our historical and cultural heritage at an increasing rate. New lifestyles have emerged, creating ever new generations with completely different social experiences. Lifestyles of our early settlers are mostly drowned in the tide of social developments. However, memories of early livelihood and settler stories still remain among the older generations, mostly aged 70 and above, whom were widely recognized as the last generation preserving some of our historical and cultural heritage of our early settlers. Therefore, with the passing of this generation within the next 10-20 years, this heritage will be lost to us forever.“Guardian 1.0·Sungai Udang” project aims to rediscover and document the local history, culture and dialect of Sungai Udang. We hope that this project will create awareness and understanding of the local historical and cultural heritage passed down from our fore-fathers, and appreciate this land that we inherit.

Kuala Sepetang is a traditional fishing village in Perak, Malaysia. It is formerly known as Port Weld. The first railway line in Peninsular Malaysia was built up at Kuala Sepetang in 1885. It is mainly constituted by Chinese village (Kuala Sepetang town and Kampung Seberang) and Malay village (Kampung Menteri). Kuala Sepetang is a unique place and well-known for its mangrove forest. It occupied by various types of eco-species. The livelihood of villagers are mainly depends on forestry, fisheries, charcoal industry, agriculture and of course, eco-tourism. It’s inevitable that many youngsters have gone out to find better job opportunity outside Kuala Sepetang. It occur a similar situation as many other traditional towns that age population are aging. Yet, the exciting thing is the attractive environment has opened a new economic of scale for the villagers which is eco-tourism.The old generation has a little knowledge of the importance of perseverance of environment. They do not carry out the 3R which is recycle, reuse, and reduce. Yet, due to the limitation of municipal services, it is estimated that only 20% of residents connected to the waste management services provided by town counsel. Another 80% of residents have to take their very own initiative to manage their waste.  Not surprising, it has cause a huge challenge for local counsel and resident from the perspectives of environmentally and socially A large quantity amount of waste resources has been throw away to river way and seas. It has becomes a serious environmental issue for Kuala Sepetang. The precious mangrove forest could be damage by the long term waste disposal. The health of residents could be severe by polluted water sources.The unsettle waste resources has severe the damage level of flood in Kuala Sepetang. The rubbish has forming a resistance to the smooth flow of river way. When the raining is falling more than usual, those rivers way cannot perform its usual function. It has influenced the daily life of villagers significantly.Aside from that, those unsettle waste resources flow into the sea and affected the eco-system. The fisherman has noticed that the quantity of fish has dropped significantly especially cockle. There was a fear that mangrove forest will also get affected in future.As a result, it is time for us to begin and organize a waste separation campaign in Kuala Sepetang. Besides waiting for the implementation of water conservation policy by government, we would like to raise an activity that involves every residents of Kuala Sepetang to protect our environment. Everyone can contribute their effort by recycling their waste resources to reduce the effect of environmental issues.It takes time and effort to collect, separate and send away the trash, but for sure these process can really makes a better, happier and clean community.
