6. Istana Puteri Bongsu

Around the palace there are lush trees making the atmosphere peaceful and comfortable, it is better known as Laman Ilmu filled with 199 trees, while each tree is completed with a verse related to the tree. It consists of herbaceous, fruit and ornamental trees.
This house has a Kitchen Module and a Mother’s House Module that are connected to the clothesline which is also the original design of the Kelantan House known as Rumah Bujang. The characteristics of the houses of the nobles are different from the residences of ordinary people, where they differ in terms of the pillars of the mother’s house, where ordinary people’s houses have 12 pillars on the module of the mother’s house, while the residences of the nobles have 16 pillars on the module. In addition, the family home in Raja also has an entrance without stairs and the floor is 8-10 feet from the ground level which is equal to the height of an elephant. Such a design is not because they keep elephants under the house, but rather it is designed to make it easier for the residents of the house to enter the house after driving with the elephant without getting off the animal. This is actually to protect the dignity and status of those who are known as members of the royal family.
The carvings on the walls also consist of flora motifs which are synonymous with Kelantan carving motifs. It is a very charming and luxurious residence for the people of Kelantan in the 1800s. This house was built with a mortise method with few nails, it also uses wood from the Cengal and Berlian types which nowadays are very difficult to obtain due to the fact that this type of wood is expensive for people to buy. habit Cengal and Berlian are hard types of wood that take a long time to process, currently only the rich are able to build houses from this type of wood.

Hydrogen Car Fuel Cell Vehicles
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) supports the government’s and the world’s mission in reducing greenhouse gas emissions especially within the campus area. One of the initiatives that has been carried out by UKM is by the usage of zero-emission vehicles in which UKM has launched two hydrogen vehicles, a golf cart buggy and a mini hybrid sport utility vehicle (SUV). Through modifications of electric vehicles, these energy efficient, environment-friendly vehicles were developed by a group of researchers from UKM’s Fuel Cell Institute (SELFUEL) in collaboration with industry.
The development of the hydrogen hybrid vehicle is based on the technical codes issued by Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTFSB) by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA 1998).
Under the UKM Sustainability 2030 Strategic Plan, UKM has also outlined the objective in developing affordable energy with initiatives such as using low-carbon transport on campus including hybrid cars, electric vehicles as well as hydrogen vehicles.
UKM Sustainability 2030 Strategic Plan; One of the initiatives addressing the encouragement on the use of low carbon transportation.

World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur: An Iconic Idea Exchange Towards Nation Building
As part of Malaysia’s national heritage, let’s consider a notion to enhance a heritage which has been a cornerstone of creation and exchange of ideas that has advanced the economy over the last four decades. In its essence, the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) has over delivered on this notion as it’s definitely a global and Malaysia’s exchange for economic development by providing space for innovation and progress.
The heritage then becomes a symbol of an era, which not only existed in the past but both for the present and well into the future. The visionary behind WTCKL is its Group Managing Director, Dato’ Sri Dr Haji Irmohizam Ibrahim, whose long list of credentials places him as the leader on the beat to drive higher value towards WTCKL to achieve world recognition.
