Menara ITM Shah Alam

Bangunan Menara Ilmu telah dibina pada tahun 1972 oleh pihak JKR dan direkabentuk oleh arkitek tempatan yang dikenali sebagai Y.Bhg. Dato’ Zahani Tan Sri Ahmad (Ahli Lembaga Pengarah ITM/UiTM sehingga 16 Oktober 2010). Gaya rupa bangunan adalah mengikut ekspresi brutalist yang dikembangkan oleh arkitek British sekitar lewat 1960an, ilham pendekatan arkitek Perancis Le Corbusier (1889-1965). Bangunan setinggi 14 tingkat ini keseluruhannya dibina daripada konkrit tetulang tanpa lepa sebagai bahan struktur dan kemasan utama (mengikut konsep Beton Brut iaitu raw/naked concrete). Bahagian fasad bangunan yang menghadap ke Selatan-Utara juga direka dengan sisipan konkrit sebagai alat penghadang cahaya yang turut menyamai konsep Brise Soleil oleh Le Corbusier sementara fasad Timur-Barat direka dengan bukaan tingkap yang minima.

Perpustakaan Hanya Ada Koleksi Penulis Bawah 18 Tahun

The Star – 12 Dec 2024

 

In San Francisco, a unique library has recently opened its doors. Here, there are no classics or bestsellers by established writers, but stories written by children from all over the world. This unique space showcases young authors' unbridled creative efforts, offering them a privileged place on the shelves.

For years, American author Dave Eggers, best known for his novel A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius, had written works piling up in his garage and no idea what to do with them. These were not copies of his own novels and essays, but rather works written by young people aged 6 to 18, coming from San Francisco and beyond. Convinced of these works' value, he decided to give them a proper home.

And thus, on Dec 4, he inaugurated the International Library of Youth Writing, a library set up at the headquarters of his publishing house McSweeney's, on Valencia Street in San Francisco.

"It's, as far as we know, the only one of its kind: a library that consists only of books written by young people,” Eggers told the San Francisco Standard.

DR Congo strives to reconcile young people with books

 DR Congo strives to reconcile young people with books

The Star - 10 Dec 2024

The printer in the corner of Martin Lukongo's print shop in Goma, a city in DR Congo's troubled east, vibrates as it churns out an order for 400 copies of a book. For more than 30 years, this part of the vast central African country has been known for the conflict that now surrounds the city, rather than for any literary output. Some consider reading a luxury, even a futile activity, especially in a nation ranked as one of the world's poorest. But a collective of artists and activists has set out to encourage young people to develop a love of books by overcoming the hurdles to produce them locally.

"Writers prefer to print in Europe, as they think they can't obtain this quality here," Lukongo said. A photographer by trade, he manages to overcome power cuts and a shortage of high-quality paper by obtaining it from neighbouring countries to print around 60 copies - including books, novels and essays - a day.

The Literary Frog, Tanjung Bungah, Pulau Pinang

Taking little leaps towards literacy

The Star – 25 Nov 2024

Tanjung Bungah’s The Literary Frog houses over 3,000 books

 

GEORGE TOWN: Tucked inside a cosy restaurant in Tanjung Bungah here is The Literary Frog, a free community library founded by American expatriate Amanda Goodrich.This book lovers’ spot boasts over 3,000 donated titles, spanning various genres.

“Anyone can borrow a book. All they need to do is write their name on the book card, take it home and return it once they are done with it,” said Goodrich. This honour system has proven to be effective, as borrowers have been remarkably honest, ensuring the library remains a thriving hub for book lovers. My vision for The Literary Frog is one rooted in simplicity and trust.”

Gene Ang and Hawaiian Crackers of Taiping

Gene Ang and his Hawaiian Crackers: Taiping’s musical legends of the ’50s

Free Malaysia Today – 17 Nov 2024

Now 96, the former guitarist relives the glory days of his band that brought the small Perak town to life.

In the late 1950s, Taiping was a quiet town. But one band emerged amidst the humdrum, bringing Hawaiian melodies and rock ‘n’ roll to life. Gene Ang and his Hawaiian Crackers were an unlikely ensemble of postmen, bank tellers, storekeepers and government workers, each driven by a shared love for music.

By the time they played their last gig in 1976, Ang and his bandmates had become local legends. Today, 96-year-old Ang lives in an old folks’ home, where he fondly recounted stories of his past to FMT Lifestyle. Beside him sat his granddaughter-in-law, Karen Loh, who first brought his story to light through the “Museum Volunteers JMM” blog.

Born in 1929 to a Baba family in Ipoh, he was named Ang Leong Tooi, although he later adopted the name “Gene” after Gene Autry, the Singing Cowboy. Ang’s love for music began early – at age five, to be precise. It started with the violin, which he learnt from a local Ronggeng troupe of Javanese dancers. Later, he picked up additional skills from his father’s friend, a Chinese opera musician.
