      Malay Garden: Concept and Survivability in the Modern World. (English)
    • Abstract:
      This qualitative study focuses on the concept of Malay garden in the preservation of Malay knowledge and excellence. The garden is an important concept in Malay art and culture. The uniqueness of garden is mentioned in a variety of old manuscripts and Malay Hikayat and typically associated as a prohibited area that can only be accessed by royal families and nobles. The existence of garden in Malay culture provides two aspects of understanding of the local Malay wisdom. First, the local imagination that drives the concept of garden design is comparable to other world civilisations. Secondly, plants that contributed to the aesthetic landscape and the advancement of traditional medicine knowledge for treating local diseases. Despite the earlier sources and studies from the old Malay manuscripts or folklores, Western colonial reports, Malay classical films and local scholarly studies that explicitly mentioned about the Malay garden, there is no accurate definition or structured concept that potentially can be applied by the public to contextualise the Malay Garden. Hence, this study presents a definition and concept of the Malay garden for the purpose of preservation of knowledge and Malay excellence. Additionally, this study also updates the list of plants and its systematic position and thus provides a new perspective on Malay garden in term of definition, interpretation and its development plan.
