History of Architecture of School of Housing Building and Planning(hbp)(University Science of Malaysia).

Established in 1972 by the late Tan Sri Professor Hamzah Sendut, the Vice Chancellor of USM, the nation’s second oldest university, the School of Housing, Building and Planning is one of the few building construction-based educational centres in Malaysia that is multi-disciplinary in nature. The School was modeled along the lines of what Professor Koenigsberger and Markus had envisioned to meet the needs of a developing country. Even though over the years it has evolved to cater to a more widely accepted precept that clearly demarcates professional boundaries

History of architecture is helping us in finding the 'door'?or Stopping us to search for the door?

Disinformation in architectural history of hbp.

note sentences above in red color.

1)One of the few building construction-based educational centres in Malaysia that is multi-disciplinary in nature.
What is the valid period of the statement above? Not found
In fact, this perhaps valid in the early stage of educational development in Malaysia where there is only a few institution of higher education.
Building construction-based educational centres now in Malaysia is mostly building construction-based educational centres in Malaysia that is multi-disciplinary in nature.

2)The School was modeled along the lines of what Professor Koenigsberger and Markus had envisioned to meet the needs of a developing country.

Please read the paragraph below:
'The initial model1 propounded by Koenigsberger and Markus in 1972 to produce a new profession as part of the UN program, has now reverted to the production of the more traditional trade professionals (architects, planners, quantity surveyors) in the widely-legitimated disciplines (architecture, planning, quantity surveying) despite a review by Markus in 1985.The future, having to respond to the blurring of professional boundaries.'

Is that hbp right now is develop according to Prof. Koenigsberger and Markus model?
produced a new profession? No,it has reverted to the production of the more traditional trade professionals in the widely-legitimated disciplines.


Ways to Eliminate Disinformation:

1) Be honest although it sounds ridiculous as most information provider only tells the positive side. Be responsible to your information. It affects the reader.

2) Provide evidence to proof your information. Source of information, scientific evidence.
Differentiate truth from theory, assumption.

3) Reader should has own judgement on what he or she read. Try to get one information from few different source, construct the whole story using different sources


My Datum for Truth:
Truth=100%correct. true.
1.the true or actual state of a matter
2.conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.
3.a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle.

Truth, need to fulfill three statement above
So is History a Truth?
no. It is mostly produced by the theory of historians.
Is what you saw, heard, the truth? Look at 911 incident, Zeitgeist theory, lots of facts remain unknown, or 'untold' if you believe in government and media.

My datum:
However i believe it is a truth when:
It has strong evidence to support it scientifically.
I believe my Judgement or sometimes felling on what i saw and heard.
I believe on what i told by my family and close friends.
