Kinta Valley in Perak State is one of the richest valley arising from 18th century tin mining production in Malaysia. The physical evidence of this production that surrounds Kinta offers a cultural landscape narrative about this ‘tin rush’ era that occurred from 1884 to 1895. This paper investigates the heritage significance of Kinta Valley former mining landscape through the lens of cultural landscape theory and practice. Through a detailed case study, documentary research and site observation have been applied as qualitative methods for data collection to unravel and quantify the heritage values of the Kinta Valley former mining landscape.

Fatwa prohibits surrogacy agreements for the Muslims in Malaysia. The legal stand for non-Muslims is left in silence, whereas surrogacy raises issues concerning women and children that necessitate legal attention. Regulative measures are imminent to regulate issues arising in a surrogate arrangement. Malaysia has yet to report of any surrogacy cases. Thus, this article analyses decided cases from other countries that have gained international attention to synthesize issues arising in surrogacy arrangements. Based on the case study analysis, this article discourses areas that regulation should encroach specifically to safeguard the welfare and safety of women and children.  Keywords: Surrogacy, Conundrum, Welfare, Fatwa. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020.

Traditional Thai house architecture is a significant part the Thai culture and heritage. One unique attribute of traditional Thai house construction is the modular, pre-fabricated wood components, with non-permanent connections. This allows the house to be dissembled and reassembled in a new location without damage. This is a case study of Thai-style houses built and owned by six generations of the Usiri family. Their houses have been passed down from the first to subsequent generations.  From only two Thai-style houses 130 years ago, there are now eleven houses as part of an expanding cultural inheritance.Keywords: cultural heritage; traditional house; preservation; living environment.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

A qualitative research case study was conducted over two summers with caretakers and children. The aim was studying how ethnobotanical content-based environmental education (EE) in English classes can impact psychological ownership (PO) of plants. The objectives were to study reactions to classroom scenarios. Subjects were selected through purposive sampling, and data through notes, observation, and recording. The second summer, a questionnaire was integrated into the lesson. Results showed that caretakers hinder children’s enthusiasm about disliked plants. However, they also change their perspectives with EE. Impact on PO increased from traditional teacher-centered lessons, more with crafts, and the most with ingestion. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.
