National Cultural Heritage
1. The Schacht Collection
Schacht Collection is the first conscious attempt by the UKM library to set up a special collection. This sizable collection consists of a diverse and extensive range of materials. Its strength is not only its size, but more importantly the rare materials, books with fine binding and first editions of famous works. These materials are valuable to researchers on hadith, Qur’an, Islamic law, Sufism, history and civilization and biography-related studies of Islam. It is important to note that good care of these materials cannot be taken for granted. Library staff and readers need constant reminders of the importance of careful handling, proper storage and cleanliness so that these materials could be preserved as far as possible in their original formats for posterity.

2. The earliest manuscripts of the Malay world
The earliest manuscripts of the Malay world refer to written texts or documents produced during the early development of Malay civilization. These manuscripts were typically written in Jawi script or other ancient scripts, such as Pallava and Kawi, which originated from Indian cultural influences before evolving into local writing forms. These manuscripts play a crucial role in the history, literature, religion, law, and culture of Malay and broader Southeast Asian societies. The earliest Malay manuscripts are now preserved in Muzium Warisan Akademik UKM. This effort is essential to ensure that this heritage endures and remains accessible to future generations.

Heritage of Displaced Communities
1. The Galeri Litograf, Karikatur & Manuskrip
The Galeri Litograf, Karikatur & Manuskrip at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) is a unique gallery within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSK), showcasing an exceptional collection of lithographs, caricatures, and manuscripts.

2. The Segamat Dialect
The Segamat dialect is a unique variant of the Malay language spoken in the Segamat district of Johor. This dialect has distinctive features that set it apart from standard Malay and other dialects in Malaysia. In terms of phonology, the Segamat dialect shows variations in vowel and consonant pronunciation compared to standard Malay. For example, the vowel ‘a’ at the end of words often changes to ‘o,’ as in “saya” becoming “sayo.” Lexically, it includes unique vocabulary not found in other dialects, such as the word “ghok,” which means “to sleep.” Morphologically, the dialect has distinct prefixes and suffixes; for instance, the prefix ‘me-‘ in standard Malay may be replaced with ‘nge-,’ as in “membaca” becoming “ngebaco.” Syntactically, variations in word order and sentence structure give the dialect its unique identity.
The Segamat dialect has special cultural significance. It reflects the cultural identity of the Segamat community and serves as a symbol of local pride. As part of Malaysia’s linguistic heritage, it contributes to the country’s linguistic diversity and is important for preservation and study. The dialect is also influenced by Segamat’s geographical proximity to Negeri Sembilan and Melaka, which has led to a unique blend of linguistic elements from these regions. For further information on the Segamat dialect and its distinctive features, refer to an article by Ungku Mohd Zaman Tahir in the book “Segamat: Sejarah & Mitosnya (Bahagian 2),” published in 2001. A copy of this article is available at the Library of the Institute of the Malay World and Civilization (ATMA) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, with the call number 7845.

Target a Low-Carbon Campus
UKM has implemented several sustainable commuting initiatives as part of its Low Carbon Campus 2030 Plan. The goal is to reduce on-campus carbon emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. UKM aims to increase sustainable commuting across the campus to 70% by 2030. To achieve this target, UKM has made significant progress. In 2022, 20% of campus commuters adopted sustainable transportation. This figure increased to 30% in 2023 and is projected to reach 40% in 2024.
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2030 (campus low carbon) | |
| Target of sustainable communing in campus. | 20% | 30% | 40% | 70% |
Initiatives toward Campus Low Carbon
UKM supports sustainable commuting from 2022 including electric bicycles, with 130 units available across 30 bike stations and e-scooters, with 250 units accessible to students and staff. These zero-emission transportation methods aim to reduce reliance on personal vehicles, contributing to a greener campus.
Furthermore, UKM offers 19 shuttle buses that connect various campus locations to nearby transport hubs, like the UKM Komuter station, which aids in reducing single-occupancy vehicle traffic.

Housing Loan
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) empowers its employees to achieve homeownership through housing loan eligibility with the Public Sector Home Financing Board (LPPSA). By facilitating access to affordable financing options, UKM helps staff build long-term stability and invest in their future. This support goes beyond immediate financial aid; it strengthens community ties and encourages employees to establish roots near campus, which reduces commute times and enhances work-life balance. UKM’s commitment to staff well-being and financial empowerment aligns with its sustainability goals, fostering a stable, thriving campus community that champions environmental stewardship and sustainable living.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) actively collaborates with local authorities to address planning and development issues, ensuring that local residents have access to affordable housing. This collaboration is evident through UKM’s adherence to guidelines set by local authorities and its proactive engagement in community development initiatives.
Compliance with Local Authority Guidelines:
- Adherence to Planning Regulations: UKM ensures that all campus development projects comply with the planning regulations and guidelines established by local authorities. This includes obtaining necessary approvals and permits for construction and development activities, thereby aligning with the strategic plans of the local government.
- Environmental Sustainability: In partnership with local authorities, UKM integrates environmental sustainability into its development projects. This includes implementing green building practices, preserving natural habitats, and promoting sustainable land use, in line with local environmental policies.
In Malaysia, based on Section 70(1) of the Street, Drainage, and Building Act 1974 (Act 133), it is stated that no party may construct a building without prior written approval from the Local Authority (PBT). Any building construction or modifications/extensions without prior approval from the PBT or construction that does not comply with the approved plan are in violation of Section 70 (Act 133). Therefore, any new building construction at UKM must obtain approval from the Kajang Municipal Council. UKM’s process involves obtaining Planning Permission, which is written consent from the Local Planning Authority (PBT) required after land use change approval and before the building plan process. The content of Planning Permission according to Act 172 is as follows:
- Subsection 2(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172) defines planning permission as permission granted, with or without conditions, to carry out development.
- Subsection 19(1) stipulates that no person, other than the local authority (PBT), may commence, undertake, or carry out any development unless planning permission for the development has been granted under Section 22 or extended under Subsection 24(3).
- Generally, “planning permission” is a procedure where the applicant must submit an application to the PBPT for approval before commencing any development on land or buildings, as provided under Section 21A [Development Proposal Report (LCP)] and Section 21B [Layout Plan].
- All developments must obtain planning permission approval from the Local Planning Authority. If development is carried out without planning permission or in contravention of the granted planning permission, the owner may be convicted under Sections 27 and 28 of Act 172. The penalty, as per Subsection 26(1), may include a fine not exceeding five hundred thousand ringgit or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or both.

Automatic Systems in Smart Buildings at UKM Bangi
At UKM, the Building Management System (BMS) is a critical component of the university’s smart building infrastructure. The BMS software automates various functions across campus buildings, enhancing energy efficiency, security, and operational control. This sophisticated system optimizes resource usage, lowers energy costs, and contributes significantly to UKM’s sustainability goals, reinforcing the university’s leadership in environmental and resource management.
UKM prioritizes the redevelopment of brownfield sites, ensuring that existing land is utilized efficiently rather than expanding into greenfield areas. One notable project is the Laman Ilmu, located at the old site of wooden houses in front of the UKM campus. This redevelopment transformed an underutilized area into a vibrant academic and communal space, demonstrating UKM’s commitment to sustainably revitalizing brownfield areas. By focusing on urban regeneration, the Laman Ilmu project reflects UKM’s dedication to minimizing environmental impact while promoting educational and social activities.

Around the palace there are lush trees making the atmosphere peaceful and comfortable, it is better known as Laman Ilmu filled with 199 trees, while each tree is completed with a verse related to the tree. It consists of herbaceous, fruit and ornamental trees.
This house has a Kitchen Module and a Mother’s House Module that are connected to the clothesline which is also the original design of the Kelantan House known as Rumah Bujang. The characteristics of the houses of the nobles are different from the residences of ordinary people, where they differ in terms of the pillars of the mother’s house, where ordinary people’s houses have 12 pillars on the module of the mother’s house, while the residences of the nobles have 16 pillars on the module. In addition, the family home in Raja also has an entrance without stairs and the floor is 8-10 feet from the ground level which is equal to the height of an elephant. Such a design is not because they keep elephants under the house, but rather it is designed to make it easier for the residents of the house to enter the house after driving with the elephant without getting off the animal. This is actually to protect the dignity and status of those who are known as members of the royal family.
The carvings on the walls also consist of flora motifs which are synonymous with Kelantan carving motifs. It is a very charming and luxurious residence for the people of Kelantan in the 1800s. This house was built with a mortise method with few nails, it also uses wood from the Cengal and Berlian types which nowadays are very difficult to obtain due to the fact that this type of wood is expensive for people to buy. habit Cengal and Berlian are hard types of wood that take a long time to process, currently only the rich are able to build houses from this type of wood.

Hydrogen Car Fuel Cell Vehicles
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) supports the government’s and the world’s mission in reducing greenhouse gas emissions especially within the campus area. One of the initiatives that has been carried out by UKM is by the usage of zero-emission vehicles in which UKM has launched two hydrogen vehicles, a golf cart buggy and a mini hybrid sport utility vehicle (SUV). Through modifications of electric vehicles, these energy efficient, environment-friendly vehicles were developed by a group of researchers from UKM’s Fuel Cell Institute (SELFUEL) in collaboration with industry.
The development of the hydrogen hybrid vehicle is based on the technical codes issued by Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTFSB) by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA 1998).
Under the UKM Sustainability 2030 Strategic Plan, UKM has also outlined the objective in developing affordable energy with initiatives such as using low-carbon transport on campus including hybrid cars, electric vehicles as well as hydrogen vehicles.

Zebra Crossing
A pedestrian crossing is a facility designated for pedestrians to cross a road in groups, so that they can be seen by the motorists. Pedestrian crossing is also used by them to cross safely across a flow of vehicular traffic. However, accidents still occur among pedestrians even though there are provisions for pedestrian crossing facilities. The purpose of this research is to identify the level of motorists’ compliance towards pedestrian crossing at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) which is located in Bangi, Selangor

World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur: An Iconic Idea Exchange Towards Nation Building
As part of Malaysia’s national heritage, let’s consider a notion to enhance a heritage which has been a cornerstone of creation and exchange of ideas that has advanced the economy over the last four decades. In its essence, the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) has over delivered on this notion as it’s definitely a global and Malaysia’s exchange for economic development by providing space for innovation and progress.
The heritage then becomes a symbol of an era, which not only existed in the past but both for the present and well into the future. The visionary behind WTCKL is its Group Managing Director, Dato’ Sri Dr Haji Irmohizam Ibrahim, whose long list of credentials places him as the leader on the beat to drive higher value towards WTCKL to achieve world recognition.
