It began in the 19th century as a business area for Indian money lenders and textile exporters and has since grown exponentially. The area is now dominated by Indian culture as evidenced by the saris, jewelry, textiles, and cuisine found throughout. Key landmarks include the Masjid India Klang mosque, the Lax Boutique Hotel, and the old Klang KTM train station. Applying Kevin Lynch's theories of the image of the city, the document analyzes Klang's Little India and identifies its paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks based on a site visit by the
Seksyen 3 in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia is analyzed using Kevin Lynch's cognitive mapping framework. The area contains distinct districts like residential, commercial, religious and educational. Major roads form strong edges around the triangular shaped area. Prominent landmarks like mosques and tall buildings aid navigation. Key paths connect districts and landmarks, with wider primary routes and narrower secondary streets. Intersections between paths serve as important nodes gathering people. Analyzing the area's paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks provides insights for improving urban design and navigation.
The document discusses the student's concept exploration for an architecture project on people and spaces. The student initially chose the theme of "congestion" focusing on a busy shopping area, but was advised by their tutor to change the theme to "Bazaar" to better represent their photos of Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur. Over multiple visits totalling 12 hours, the student documented the indoor and outdoor markets through photos and researched the area's history as a cultural center with different ethnic groups coexisting in a limited space. The packaging for the project was designed to highlight the Malaysian culture and heritage uncovered in the hidden bazaar.
This report analyzes and compares two cendol stalls located in different areas - Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi in Klang and Teo Chew Cendol in Penang. Both businesses started in the early 2000s and have grown popular for their secret recipes and selling up to 500 bowls per day. While Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi remains small with one location, Teo Chew Cendol has expanded significantly with 14 franchises across Malaysia. The businesses face competition from other cendol stalls but strive to stand out through factors like taste, price and strategic locations.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

4. The aim of Project Two is for the students to plan and propose a
better town applying the basic knowledge that has been
delivered through lectures and through their investigation. For
the first part students are required to investigate and observe
an existing town as a case study and prepare a boolet about
that particular town. In the second part students are required
to proposed a new town and make the physical model and
prepare presentation boards about a new town.
Our site is Medan Pasar, Kuala Lumpur.
What I did there was taking pictures of the majestic designed
building alongside the clock tower located in the middle of the
area. We also went to the Central Market as it is the building
that we had for research purposes. Besides that, I did some
sketches on the heavy traffic road, to come up with this
amazing Medan Pasar booklet. //

See
What I noticed when I was in
Medan Pasar is that there are a lot
of foreigners who were seated
around the center and edges
while looking at passing civilians.
Sometimes there are motor bikers
passing because they use Medan
Pasar as a shortcut from the
junction of Lebuh Pasar Besar to
Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin or vice
versa.
In addition, I can see a lot of high-
rise buildings around the Medan
Pasar.
There are also elements of
greenery (row of trees; 12 on
right side, 15 on the left side) in
Medan Pasar.
At night the lighting around the
clock tower is beautiful and can
set a person bad mood to a good
one. Red colored LED lights
mounted around the clock tower.
Most importantly what can be
seen is the work of the architect in
colonial times applied to the
buildings in the Medan Pasar.

What can be seen when I was at Central
Market is the diversity of arts and
crafts that are sold in stalls in the
building. In additions, there are also
art, kebaya, songket, batik and souvenir
authentic Malaysia sold there.
Outside of the building, there are many
foreigners who wander around. While
inside of the building there are many
tourists or what we Malays call them
Mat Salleh.
The variety types of unique lampposts
also attract tourists there
In the Jamek Mosque, there’s a lot
of beautiful design based on
Islamic culture.

HEAR
Sounds of buses engine can be
heard clearly in Leboh Pasar Besar
and Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin. The
bus driver assistant voice can also
be heard when they shouted to
the public to board their bus.
At Lebuh Pasar Besar and Jalan
Tun Tan Siew Sin often there are
traffic jams involving buses, taxis,
cars and even motorcycles.
Therefore, sound of honking and
engine noise also make the place
noisy rumble.
If you sit on the bench provided at
the left and right of the Market
Square, you can listen to songs in
foreign languages that are played
in restaurant on the sides.
Azan and also the words of the
Quran echoed if it is time for
prayer for the Muslim. At night
there is a recital of the Quran that
can be heard by everyone in the
area. The sound source is from
the famous mosque, Masjid
Jamek.

At night, the atmosphere at
Central Market stark
contrast when compared to
the morning. The
difference that can be seen
are fewer visitors but the
store remained open. This
results in the quietness
during night time.
As we know, the highway around Majid
Jamek very busy and this had resulted
in the area polluted with the sound of
vehicle engine rumbling.
Near Majid Jamek, there is a train
station that is called Masjid Jamek
Station. Every time the train stop, you
can hear the sound of its tires rubbing
against the track and also the bustle of
passengers who disembark at the
station.

FEEL
When I walk around the Medan
Pasar, I noticed that I felt calm
and relaxed. The atmosphere in
there makes me feel as if I were in
a busy village with many vehicles.
It will feel comfortably cold if it
had just experienced a heavy rain.
Although rain had just off, the
people would come here and
enjoy the charming atmosphere.
In the sweltering heat, the
atmosphere at the Market Square
would make you feel like you are
in the middle of a market packed
with people. Vehicles that emit
carbon dioxide added to the
feeling that heat.
If you are a citizen of Malaysia,
the first thing you think is that
you will feel like you are a tourist
who was in another country. This
is because there are too many
foreigners loungers scattered
everywhere.

You will feel cool when strolling in
Central Market at night. Besides that,
you’ll feel very relaxed.
Dim lighting set also makes us feel
comfortable. It certainly feels like you
are in the hotel lobby where the
lighting is appropriate to the client's
mood.
You will feel uncomfortable when being
in this busy place. This is because it is
busy with civilians who travels there. In
addition, there are also people who go
to work by foot uses that road as their
main pathway to their workplace.
You will also feel shortness of breath or
probability may be suffering from
asthma caused by the dirty air
exhausted by the vehicles.

If you stand close to the clock
tower, you can breathe in fresh air
because there are plants in the
division.
We also can smell the food
cooked in the restaurant located
in a row of shops on the right side
of the Market Square.
Other than that we also smell the
smoke of vehicles around Market
Street and Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin.

TASTE
What can be eaten in this area is a
mamak shop that sells roti canai,
nasi briyani and nasi lemak. All
these foods are foods commonly
enjoyed by Malaysians.
There is also a van stall selling
mineral water, burgers, coconut
water, orange juice and water
cans that varies in flavour.
Near the Medan Pasar there’s a
motorcycle stall selling a variety of
fruit cut into small pieces and put
in a plastic package. Among the
fruits sold are watermelon, papaya
and many more.

Beautiful work done by colonial
time’s architect successfully
makes our jaw drop.
There were foreigner’s
everywhere and most of them
were Nepalese.
Majority of the buildings there
were commercial types while
there were several hotels and
offices too.
There’s a lot of tourists there
along with locals (which travels
there).
The temperature changes from morning to night
could drop miraculously. In the morning it’s
scorching hot while in the night it’s breezily
relaxing.

JAMEK MOSQUE-
This area had a religious type of
building which is the Jamek Mosque.
Unlike other places that had a big
mosque, this place is like a peaceful
area stranded in the middle of a
busy city.
MEDAN PASAR-
In this area therefore, it had a
characteristics of a big busy city
cramped into a small lane. With all the
foreigners and Nepalese, this place
seems to have the aura of an outside
country.
CENTRAL MARKET-
Meanwhile in this area, the big blue
historical building seems like a
normal shopping complex from the
outside but as you go inside you’ll be
amazed with all the handicraft
displayed and the face of all the
amazed tourists.
26. PUBLIC & SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
JALAN TUN PERAK, NEAR MASJID JAMEK-
This road sure is a busy road as there’s a lot
of activities going on there. Firstly, there’s a
lot of offices at that place and that results in
a lot of workers, either by walking or driving,
occupies the road and sidewalks. Secondly,
the train station boards and take people to
another places they chose. Thirdly, there are
shops, restaurants on either side of the road
which invites more people to go there.
Lastly, the mosque nearby brings in a lot of
Muslims to perform their prayers there.
AROUND THE CLOCK TOWER, MEDAN PASAR-
This area seems crowded due to the foreigners and
Nepalese that lives nearby. What makes this area have
that busy aura is because of the two roads on the north
and south side of the Medan Pasar lane. The busyness is
caused by the workers (which works in the office that
surrounds the Medan Pasar) and also the outrageous
numbers of bus that keeps boarding and taking
passengers at Medan Pasar. Furthermore, due to it’s
well-known factor which is the clock tower and the
shop houses on the side, there sure is a lot of tourists
having their vacation there.

HISTORY & ORIGIN
AHMAD QHALIS AHMAD MUKHLAS| 0326552 | FNBE January 2016
JAMEK MOSQUE ORIGIN-
The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman
Shah officially opened the mosque in 1909, two years after
construction was completed. The mosque was built on the
first Malay burial ground in the city. Before the national
mosque, Masjid Negara, was opened in 1965, Masjid Jamek served
as Kuala Lumpur's main mosque. The architect was Arthur
Benison Hubback.
CENTRAL MARKET HISTORY + ORIGIN-
The original building was built in 1888 by the British in
colonial British Malaya. It was used as wet market for Kuala
Lumpur citizens and tin miners. The Wet Market was very
convenient to the early city dwellers because it was within the
vicinity of Klang bus stand, the hub of feeder bus service for Kuala
Lumpur and the train station. Further expansions were made in
1889, 1895, 1920 and 1921. By 1933, the expansions to the
warehouse made the market now in its present size, and cost
around $167,000. The intervention of the Malaysian Heritage
Society proved timely as they successfully petitioned against its
deconstruction and the site was declared as a 'Heritage Site'.
During construction of Dayabumi near Klang River banks in 1981,
the market was saved from demolition. In 1985, the market was
renovated into a vibrant and colourful new style, and has been
officially known as Pasar Budaya since April 1986.
MEDAN PASAR HISTORY-
Medan Pasar, or Market Square, was the capital's banking and
shopping hub in the 1920s. This area had been largely ignored
as the river confluence where the tin-miners and traders first
landed. The clock tower in the middle of Medan Pasar is
revolutionary in design for its time. It was built in 1937 in
commemoration of the coronation of King George IV, but the
original memorial plaques have been removed. The geometric
art form shows the influence of Cubism and Futurism. The
geometric sunburst motif on the doors at the bottom of the
clock tower is of especial interest, as it is more usually found
on windows and above archways than on clock towers.

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, a few
minutes away from Petaling Street, Central
Market is a famous landmark for Malaysian
culture and heritage.
The building was built in 1888 and
originally functioned as a wet market. It
has since been classified as a Heritage
Site.
Tourists flock to Central Market for its
variety of handicrafts, art, kebaya,
songket, batik and authentic Malaysian
souvenirs. A Batik Emporium houses well-
known designer labels, with the best
Malaysian-made batik items ranging from
clothes, shoes, bags to home furnishing.
The Central Market Outdoor Stage is
where visitors can catch colourful arts
and cultural events. During the country’s
main festivals, the area will be lit up in
theme, reflecting the multiracial diversity
of Malaysians.
The Annexe Gallery, located at the back of

35AHMAD QHALIS AHMAD MUKHLAS| 0326552 | FNBE January 2016
All in all, Medan Pasar is a place that doesn’t really show the true
culture of Malaysia as there’s a lot of foreigners instead of our own
local people. But this seems to really contrast with Central Market.
Central Market really shows the true culture of Malaysia because they
include all three cultures, Malay, Chinese and Indian in their business.
Lastly, Masjid Jamek shows that Malaysia’s national religion which is
Islam can stand up in the middle of such of a busy place. //
