De réfugiés à entrepreneurs : l’expérience d’une communauté Cam de Pekan, Pahang, Malaisie. Cette étude, basée sur un travail de terrain conduit durant les années 2000, est centrée sur une communauté musulmane originaire du Cambodge et aujourd’hui installée dans l’État de Pahang, précisemment dans la région de Pekan. Ses membres font partie des premiers réfugiés, d’abord hébergés à Kelantan avant de quitter cet État afin d’entamer une nouvelle vie indépendante au début des années 1980. Dans la région de Pekan, ils vont retrouver un environnement proche de celui qu’ils ont connu au Cambodge et l’aquaculture en eau douce figure au nombre des activités économiques qu’ils pratiquent jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Cet article décrit cette activité que la communauté a débutée vers 1984, et qui représente aujourd’hui l’activité principale de la communauté Cam dans trois villages de la région de Pekan. Cette communauté constitue l’un des cas d’intégration réussie de réfugiés d’origine indochinoise, qui de plus est parvenue à s’épanouir économiquement en devenant l’acteur le plus important de l’aquaculture en eau douce de la région de Pekan.
and Indonesia). These publications are then divided into three categories: description, concepts and theoretical assumptions. This book is organised into seven chapters and proposes several themes: the concept and research trends, forming family, parenthood, grandparenthood, gender roles, the impact of socioeconomic development, and marriage breakdown. Through the adoption of the demographic and survey data gathered by international organisations and government bodies, together with her own interviews and analysis of other case studies, she enlightens us all with the presentation alongside the discussion in both macro-and micro-level analyses. Quah's work has shown the changing trend in family life as it occurred between 1950 and 2006 in 10 Asian countries due to socioeconomic development and changes in values and attitudes. However, family formation in Asia seems to be distinct as compared with that in Western countries. In forming Asian families, Quah elucidated two main factors: this being the historical and cultural backgrounds. Historically, Asian countries experienced wars, invasions and colonisation. Besides, Asian countries consist of various ethnic groups, religions and belief systems. These two main factors are significant in analysing family formation among people in this region. I find it worth highlighting that the aspects surrounding the process of forming a family unit in all Asian countries, especially in the spouse selection, motive of marriage, wedding celebrations and marriage trends, have demonstrated changes and they are assimilating into the current trends more than ever before. However, their different cultures and different backgrounds of families have moulded the formation of their respective families, and marriage remains to be an important sanctity in this part of the world. Another interesting point highlighted by Quah in her answer as to why Asian family formation is different as compared with that of western families is the roles of senior generations within the family. The author reveals how grandparents across the 10 Asian countries are actively engaged in family responsibilities, and the importance of their role in the socialisation of their children and grandchildren. This relationship benefits both parties: grandparenting builds a bridge for the senior generation to become actively engaged in the present and at the same time to project
This study employs a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach in finding practical solutions to promote sustainable active ageing living environment for the elderly in a Muslim based elderly home – the Baitul Maab, Temerloh. The study was conducted in three sequential phases: initialization, action and reflection utilizing multiple data collection methods which included visual assessment, Focus Group Discussion, collaborative mapping and survey. During the Focus Group Discussion, several proposals were put forward by the residents. One of the proposals by the FGD participants were to have a community garden as an outlet for the residents to engage in healthy activities collectively. Based on this, a community garden called Laman Herba and Sayuran was then created by the researchers and the residents through gotong royong activities. A survey was carried out a year later to determine the usage of the garden and how it helped the community in achieving a healthy lifestyle. The findings suggest that the community garden is perceived to be able to help the residents to be healthier and that it improved their well-being. The study also suggested that elderly below 65 years old were in the age group who most benefited from having a community garden as they still have the energy and strength to do gardening activities This study concludes that community gardening is perceived to yield many benefits to elderly’s health and social well-being. However, for the garden to be efficient, it has to be equipped with the necessary infrastructure such as stools as resting place and easy-to-reach water supply.
