Though often referenced, the Melanau tall house exists today more in memory, replicas, and myth than in the physical landscape. Challenging the idea of a fixed, lost typology, this book presents it instead as an evolving architectural form shaped by defence, environment, belief systems, and cultural exchange.Drawing on grounded theory, historical records, oral histories, and comparative studies, it uncovers overlooked variations and questions dominant narratives. Rather than reconstructing the past, it explores architectural transformation and cultural context, positioning the tall house within broader Bornean networks.

As restrictions eased, independent filmmakers reintroduced Chinese faces and narratives to Indonesian screens. Key films such as Ca-bau-kan (2002) by Nia Dinata, Gie (2005) by Riri Riza, and The Photograph (2007) by Nan Achnas played crucial roles in reclaiming lost cultural stories. The book also highlights Chinese Indonesian filmmaker Edwin, whose works - including Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly (2008) and Postcards from the Zoo (2012)—explore themes of displacement, marginalization, and identity. Beyond film analysis, this book examines postSuharto Indonesia’s socio-political transformation and its impact on cultural identity, offering a thoughtful look at the resurgence of Chinese Indonesian storytelling.

The issues explored in the chapters are on deviance, disability, health, urbanisation, identity, indigenous community and post-colonialism.

It prescribes specific rules for prayers, fasting, giving to the poor, and many other religious matters. It also has regulations for personal matters including sexual conduct, and elements of raising child; as well regulation in transactions and criminal matters.

3131Zulkifly MudaDalam Islam, penyakit dilihat sebagai ujian Allah kepada seorang muslim untuk melihat sejauh mana ia beriman kepada-Nya. Dan pada pandangan Islam, selagi ada kewarasan akal, tuntutan melalukan solat adalah wajib dalam apa keadaan sekalipun. Mungkin timbul pertanyaan atau persoalan bagaimana pesakit-pesakit yang sedang mengikuti pelbagai keadaan rawatan dapat mengambil wuduk dan melakukan ibadat solat. Persoalan ini biasanya timbul apabila terdapat anggota wuduk seperti tangan atau kaki yang dalam keadaan berbalut, luka yang tidak boleh terkena air, pesakit sentiasa keadaan berhadas, pesakit dalam keadaan terbaring dan sebagainya.Sehubungan dengan itu, buku ini berusaha mengupas perkara ini dengan memberi penumpuan kepada permasalahan pesakit yang menghadapi kesulitan untuk bertaharah dan solat. Di samping itu, buku ini turut mengupas isu dan hukum hakam berkaitan dengan proses perubatan yang ada sekarang iaitu pemindahan organ dan bayi tabung uji.Isu Perubatan dalam Islam Hukum Perubatan, Bersuci bagi Pesakit, Pemindahan Organ dan Bayi Tabung Uji978-967-5527-09-81622010ISBN PagesYear :::Religion

3333Zuraidi IshakThis book was inspired by Bormann’s studies on Abraham Lincoln’s rhetorical vision after the trial of the Civil War which emphasized the importance of unifying a nation in time of troubles. Bormann’s studies provide a conceptual understanding of how to apply the fantasy theme analysis method in examining Tunku, Tan and Sambathan’s tasks of unifying a racially divided society of Malaya in critical historical circumstances. This book employs the following procedures for conducting fantasy theme analysis, the identification of fantasy themes; the examination of the dramatis personae and plans of action in the fantasy themes; the reconstruction of the resultant rhetorical visions; and the overall assessment of the rhetorical visions.Rhetoric of Racial Harmony978-967-5527-47-01302013ISBN PagesYear :::PoliticsJeniri AmirBuku ini merupakan himpunan tulisan yang pernah disiarkan dalam kolum saya di beberapa buah akhbar dan portal berita yang menumpukan perhatian kepada politik Sarawak.
