Munirah Che Hassan Sharifah Meryam Shareh Musa Rozlin Zainal Narimah Kasim

Flooding is a natural disaster that occurs every year which causes property damage, environmental damage and loss of life. Flooding also caused almost all houses and residential areas to be flooded. Flood events can be caused by issues such as drainage systems being blocked by waste disposal, failure to maintain the maintenance of drainage systems and so on. In this regard, the study was conducted to identify the types of drainage systems that were built, to investigate problems in the drainage system that caused flooding and to suggest ways of improving the drainage system in residential areas. The areas involved in this study were in several residential parks in the Tanah Merah, Kota Bharu and Pasir Mas districts. For data collection, the researcher used the interview method of 11 respondents comprising Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS), Local Authorities (PBTs) and residents of the area and observation method to study the specification of existing drainage in the area. As a result of the interviews conducted, it was found that drainage systems in residential areas consist of U, V, Half and cascading drainage systems. The drainage system has problems with clogged drainage system problems, poor maintenance, and poor quality of life and so on. Therefore, improvements should be made to avoid any unwanted problems. Some methods can be done such as upgrading the drainage system, deepening the river project and so on. It is hoped that the eleven respondents comprising Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS), Local Authorities (PBTs) developers and others will directly or indirectly need to take appropriate steps to reduce the problem in the construction of drainage systems that cause flooding in residential areas.

Norliana Sarpin Narimah Kasim Rozlin Zainal Hamidun Mohd Noh

Facility management is the key phase in the development cycle of an assets and spans over a considerable length of time. Therefore, facility managers are in a commanding position to maximise the potential of sustainability through the development phases from construction, operation, maintenance and upgrade leading to decommission and deconstruction. Sustainability endeavours in facility management practices will contribute to reducing energy consumption, waste and running costs. Furthermore, it can also help in improving organisational productivity, financial return and community standing of the organisation. Facility manager should be empowered with the necessary knowledge and capabilities at the forefront facing sustainability challenge. However, literature studies show a gap between the level of awareness, specific knowledge and the necessary skills required to pursue sustainability in the facility management professional. People capability is considered as the key enabler in managing the sustainability agenda as well as being central to the improvement of competency and innovation in an organisation. This paper aims to develop a guidelines for interpersonal capabilities to support sustainability in facility management practice. Starting with a total of 7 critical interpersonal capabilities factors identified from previous questionnaire survey, the authors conducted an interview with 3 experts in facility management to assess the perceived importance of these factors. The findings reveal a set of guidelines for the enhancement of interpersonal capabilities among facility managers by providing what can be done to acquire these factors and how it can support the application of sustainability in their practice. The findings of this paper are expected to form the basis of a mechanism framework developed to equip facility managers with the right knowledge, to continue education and training and to develop new mind-sets to enhance the implementation of sustainability measures in FM practices.

The European Proceedings of Social & Behavioural Sciences (2016)

Rozlin Zainal

Following the implementation of GST in Malaysia on 1 April 2015, it was predicted that construction capital costs and housing property prices will increase accordingly. Examining the GST effects associated with construction capital costs and its influences towards the housing developers and housing property prices is this study’s primary objective. This study also aims to highlight the developers’ point of view regarding how GST impacts upon them as well as the housing prices of further future proposal of initiatives. The findings are obtained by surveying the opinion of 36 housing developers and an experienced property consultant under the employment of Henry Butcher (International Asset Consultant) in Penang, Malaysia. It was concluded that building materials and land acquisition are the major construction capital costs affected by the GST implementation while capital flow turnover is the post and significant consequence that developers now face which subsequently led to an increment of housing property prices. Ultimately, the end buyers are the ones who bear the brunt of the price increment where the government plays the central role within this scenario.

E-SPAH: Aesthetic Innovation in UTHM’s Small-scale Rainwater Harvesting System

International Journal of Integrated Engineering (2021)

Muhamad Faizal Mostaffa Sharifah Meryam Shareh Musa Rozlin Zainal Narimah Zainal Hamidun Mohd Noh

A rainwater harvesting (RWH) system is a method of storing rainwater for future purposes. Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) has implemented this effort on some of the buildings in Main Campus, Parit Raja. However, this system has the weakness that caused the RWH system to stop from appropriately operated. Some of the RWH components are damaged because the design is not thought of thoroughly in the long term. Furthermore, the Main Campus is highly dependent on the treated water supply that caused a high amount of utility bills. Therefore, this study has highlighted the need to analyse the existing small scale RWH system in UTHM’s Main Campus, identify the suitable tank form for UTHM’s Main Campus’ small scale RWH system, and suggest a small scale RWH system’s design for outdoor purposes in Main Campus UTHM. This study has been carried out by using literature review, interview session and observation. The result shows that the small scale RWH system in UTHM Main Campus has a few strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Cylindrical tank form is chosen to design the university’s small scale RWH system. A modular RWH system with the number of tanks installed based on rainwater catchment area is suggested and named E-SPAH, a concept of RWH system that emphasises efficiency and outdoor usage. Perhaps this study would help future researchers, universities, and contractors guide future small-scale rainwater harvesting systems for outdoor purposes in UTHM’s Main Campus.

International Journal of Supply Chain Management (2019)

Fazilah Ramli Rozlin Zainal Maimunah Ali

Oversupply and overhang among the high-cost housing type has become a blazing field that is often discussed in the press due to the failure in getting a balance of construction demand and supply unit. The basic purpose of the research is to develop a prediction modelling for high-cost housing supply based on the macroeconomic factors. The investigation involved the improvement of the analytical framework by synthesizing the models and framework advanced by a past analyst on the housing supply market framework. As initial, macroeconomic data of MHPI, GDP, BLR, CPI, population size, PCI, CBI, housing demand rate and housing stock index from 2007 to 2017 are collected from National Property and Information Centre (NAPIC) and Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) website. The prediction of the housing supply is investigated using Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA). Based on these problem, the investigation contended that the housing supply prediction model will be accomplish using experimental data from economic data with supported from macroeconomic factors such as world borrowing cost, outflows of foreign capital, subprime crisis, population characteristics, migration, urbanization, stamp duty exemption, moratorium, RPGT, and also microeconomic factors such as location and accessibility, basic and public facility, financial loan, location and placement, credit facility, construction cost, development approval, price and rental and housing stock.
