Istana Alam Shah

The Istana Alam Shah is the official palace of the Sultan of Selangor, located in southern Klang, the royal town of the state of Selangor, Malaysia. History Between 1903 and 1957 there existed an older palace on the same site, known as the Istana Mahkota Puri. It was built in 1903 during the rule of Sultan Sulaiman Shah, who was the fifth Sultan of Selangor, and the design closely resembles the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Kuala Lumpur. The Sultan went on to live in the palace for 35 years until his death in 1938. In the 1950s it was briefly used as a student dorm for nearby schools. The palace was demolished in October 1957 and soon replaced by the present-day structure. Despite the Sultan having two other official residences in Shah Alam and Putrajaya, most royal ceremonies (such as the coronation of a new Sultan) involving the Selangor royal family are held in the Istana Alam Shah. The palace has 15 rooms and was built using wood and marble. In early 2000, extensive renovations were carried out by Sultan Salahuddin Shah.

Istana Jahar

Istana Jahar est un palais historique situé à Kota Bharu, capitale de l’État de Kelantan, en Malaisie. Construit à la fin du XIXe siècle, il a servi de résidence à plusieurs membres de la famille royale de Kelantan avant d’être converti en musée consacré aux traditions et coutumes royales de l’État. Histoire La construction d’Istana Jahar débute sous le règne de Sultan Muhammad II de Kelantan (1837–1886), après l’établissement de Kota Bharu comme capitale de l’État. Le palais est initialement érigé pour être offert à son petit-fils, Raja Bendahara Long Kundor, membre de la famille royale kelantanaise. Après le décès de Sultan Muhammad II en 1886, le bâtiment est progressivement agrandi et utilisé par ses successeurs. Au début du XXe siècle, le palais prend le nom d’« Istana Jahar », en référence à un arbre de jahar qui se trouvait dans l’enceinte du palais au moment de son achèvement. Istana Jahar est notamment utilisé comme résidence par Sultan Ismail de Kelantan après son accession au trône. Il demeure un lieu important de la vie royale jusqu’à la construction de résidences plus modernes au cours du XXe siècle. Architecture Istana Jahar illustre l’architecture traditionnelle malaise, caractérisée par l’utilisation du bois comme matériau principal et par des éléments décoratifs finement sculptés. La structure du palais reflète les principes architecturaux des résidences royales malaises, mettant l’accent sur la ventilation naturelle, l’élévation du bâtiment et l’ornementation symbolique. Musée du patrimoine royal Aujourd’hui, Istana Jahar abrite le Museum of Royal Traditions and Customs of Kelantan (Muzium Adat Istiadat Diraja Kelantan). Le musée présente une collection d’objets royaux, d’artefacts historiques et d’expositions consacrées aux cérémonies, aux costumes traditionnels et aux pratiques culturelles de la monarchie kelantanaise. Localisation Istana Jahar est situé dans le centre historique de Kota Bharu, à proximité d’autres bâtiments emblématiques tels que l’Istana Balai Besar. Le palais se trouve aux coordonnées 6° 07′ 53,3″ N, 102° 14′ 13,5″ E. Importance culturelle En tant qu’ancien palais royal et musée, Istana Jahar occupe une place notable dans le patrimoine culturel de l’État de Kelantan. Il constitue un exemple représentatif de l’architecture palatiale malaise et joue un rôle dans la préservation et la transmission des traditions royales locales.

Istana Negara (Jalan Duta)

L'Istana Negara (che in lingua malese vuol dire Palazzo Nazionale) è la residenza ufficiale dello Yang di-Pertuan Agong, il capo di Stato della Malesia. Si trova nella zona di Jalan Duta nel nord di Kuala Lumpur. Il palazzo, inaugurato nel 2011, ha sostituito il vecchio Istana Negara. Il complesso del palazzo ha una superficie di 97.65 ettari, 22 cupole, e si divide in tre parti principali: la componente formale, la componente reale e la componente amministrativa. Storia Il luogo in cui costruire il nuovo palazzo reale è stato pubblicato sulla Gazzetta ufficiale già alla fine del 1976, e numerosi imprenditori sono stati coinvolti con la pianificazione iniziale. La necessità di un nuovo palazzo, secondo l'allora ministro delle opere pubbliche S. Samy Vellu, era dovuta a causa di vincoli di spazio. Il sito è di 96.52 ettari e situato su una collina. Il direttore generale del Dipartimento dei lavori pubblici (JKR) Amer Hamzah Mohd Yunus, ha affermato che verranno utilizzati solo 28 ettari per lo sviluppo del complesso del palazzo. La costruzione è iniziata nel novembre 2007 e con un costo di 812 milioni di ringgit. Il complesso incorpora elementi architettonici islamici e malesi, su disegni dello studio di architettura Kumpulan Seni Reka Sdn Bhd ed è stato edificato dalla ditta di costruzione Maya Maju Sdn Bhd. Il completamento del palazzo era previsto nel 2009 ma fu ultimato solo nel settembre 2011. La famiglia reale ha iniziato il trasloco il 19 ottobre, che si è concluso con una cerimonia di alzabandiera ed inaugurazione, il 15 novembre. Il 14° Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, è stato il primo re ad abitare il palazzo. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Istana Negara

The station is in the vicinity of residential developments near Serangoon North, and community amenities such as The Serangoon Community Club, Hwi Yoh Community Centre, Rosyth School, Serangoon Garden Secondary School, Bowen Secondary School and various other places of worship such as Al-Istiqamah Mosque. History On 25 January 2019, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Serangoon North station would be part of the proposed Cross Island Line (CRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, which will consist of 12 stations from the Aviation Park to Bright Hill stations. It was expected to be completed in 2029. However, the restrictions imposed on construction works due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to delays and the CRL1 completion date was pushed by one year to 2030. On 13 January 2022, the LTA awarded Contract CR113 to Hock Lian Seng Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. at S$407 million (US$332.8 million). The contract involves the design and construction of the station and associated tunnels. The station will have an additional track for the withdrawal or parking of trains. Construction works for the station and tunnels are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2022, and are expected to be completed by 2030. The station is located near the vehicular interchange of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 and Yio Chu Kang Road, which had to be diverted through various phases to facilitate construction works. An underpass going under Yio Chu Kang Road will be mined instead of the cut-and-cover method, to minimise vehicular traffic at the Yio Chu Kang Road vehicular bridge.

The contract involves the design and construction of the station and associated tunnels. Construction works for the station and tunnels are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2022, and expected to be completed by 2030. Due to the station's location in a built-up area, the launch shaft for the tunnel boring machine will be at a distance from the station site. Tunnelling through old alluvium soil, the boring machine has to be closely monitored for wear and tear. References

Forest City (Johor)

Forest City ist eine Planstadt im Bundesstaat Johor in Malaysia. Die westlich von Singapur gelegene Planstadt soll auf vier künstlichen Inseln mit einer Gesamtfläche von 30 km² errichtet werden. Stand 2024 wurden auf einer der vier künstlichen Inseln 26000 Wohnungen fertiggestellt. Die leerstehende Geisterstadt ist unter malaysischen Jugendlichen ein beliebter Treffpunkt. Bau Forest City wird von einem Joint Venture errichtet, an dem der chinesische Immobilienentwickler Country Garden die Mehrheit hält. Der Bau begann 2015. Es waren Investitionen in Höhe von 100 Milliarden US-Dollar geplant. Die Stadt sollte Wohnraum für 700.000 Menschen bieten. Im Jahr 2016 wurde das höchste Gebäude von Forest City fertiggestellt, der 196 Meter hohe Carnelian Tower mit 45 Stockwerken. Die Fertigstellung des kompletten Projekts war für das Jahr 2035 geplant. Im Jahr 2024 teilte Country Garden nach Zahlungsschwierigkeiten im Vorjahr mit, dass die Weiterentwicklung von Forest City angepasst an die Nachfrage erfolgen soll. Politische Auswirkungen Aus chinesischer Perspektive handelt es sich um ein Projekt im Rahmen der Neuen Seidenstraße. Als Zielgruppe waren vor allem chinesische Käufer anvisiert. Die Makler lockten chinesische Käufer mit dem Versprechen, dass die chinesischen Bewohner unter sich bleiben würden, da die Appartements zum Preis von 200.000 US-Dollar für Malaysier unerschwinglich seien. Die Genehmigung des Projekts auf malaysischer Seite erfolgte in der Amtszeit von Premierminister Najib Razak. Im Wahlkampf 2018 kritisierte sein Herausforderer Mahathir bin Mohamad chinesische Investitionen im Allgemeinen und das Forest City Projekt im Speziellen. Nach seinem Wahlsieg versuchte Mahathir, den Verkauf von Immobilien in Forest City an Ausländer zu unterbinden, was ihm nicht gelang. Das Interesse chinesischer Investoren nahm deutlich ab. Schon zuvor hatten sich neue Kapitalverkehrskontrollen negativ auf das Projekt ausgewirkt, die Chinesen den Erwerb von Immobilien im Ausland erschweren. Kritik Im Jahr 2019 sollen um die 500 Menschen in Forest City gelebt haben. Im Jahr 2022 wurde die Stadt in Presseberichten als Geisterstadt voller leerer Wolkenkratzer bezeichnet. Nach Angaben von Country Garden sollen 2023 in Forest City 9000 Menschen gelebt haben. Eine Ortsbesichtigung bestätigte das nicht. Das vom Immobilienentwickler als grüne futuristische Stadt beworbene Projekt wurde von Sarah Moser von der McGill-Universität in Montreal als Greenwashing kritisiert. Umweltschützer kritisieren etwa, dass für das Aufschütten der künstlichen Insel große Seegraswiesen vernichtet wurden, was den Lebensraum vieler Meerestiere zerstörte.

George Town (Malajsie)

George Town (psáno též Georgetown; čínsky 喬治市) je hlavním městem malajsijského spolkového státu Penang na stejnojmenném ostrově. Je druhým největším městem Malajsie, v roce 2010 zde žilo 708 128 obyvatel. Jeho metropolitní oblast Greater Penang je druhou největší konurbací Malajsie s odhadovanou populací 2,5 milionu osob. Malajsky bývá město také nazýváno Tanjung. Historie V roce 1786 ho založil kapitán Britské Východoindické společnosti Francis Light jako celní sklad a jednu z prvních britských osad v jihovýchodní Asii. Pojmenováno bylo na počest britského krále Jiřího III. Společně se Singapurem a Malakkou byl George Town součástí Průlivových osad pod správou Britské Východoindické společnosti, které se v roce 1867 staly korunní kolonií. Během druhé světové války byly britské pozice v Malajsku okupovány Japonským císařstvím. V září roku 1945 bylo město znovudobyto Britským impériem. 1. ledna 1957, krátce před vyhlášením nezávislosti Malajsie v srpnu 1957, byl George Town povýšen na město královnou Alžbětou II. V následujících letech obdržel status bezcelní zóny, jak zaručovala dohoda s britskou koloniální správou před udělením nezávislosti Malajsie. V roce 1967 byl tento status zrušen malajsiskou vládou, což vedlo k masivní nezaměstnanosti ve městě. Velké množství koloniálních budov vyneslo v r. 2008 starému centru George Townu společně s historickou částí města Malakka zápis do světového kulturního dědictví UNESCO. K pestrému kulturnímu dědictví města patří i silný vliv zdejší čínské komunity.
