This article provides a review of the indicators for safe urban tourism after evaluates the urban tourism concept which related to the tourism industry and the implementation of the safe city model towards the Malaysia urban area. This research uses the basic idea of a safe city model for proposing a conceptual framework in safe urban tourism. Content analysis is used to identify the principles indicators of safe urban tourism from the established literature, relevant reports and works. A theoretical framework of indicators for safe urban tourism was then formulated to be the main outcome of the study. The framework consists of a list of three groups (3) indicators of safe urban tourism which is (i) safe city factors, (ii) safe urban tourism factors and (iii) crime prevention strategies and step to be considered throughout the safe urban tourism development process. Given that research in safe urban tourism is still at its infancy and largely absent in the Malaysian context, this study aims to fill that research gap and contributes towards an existing scholarship. The theoretical framework is very useful to provide an essential guide to the stakeholders (Ministry of Tourism (MoT), Town and Country Planning Department and Kuala Lumpur City Hall) and researchers for formulating a clear guide of sustainability principles to be integrated into the development of future safe urban tourism in Malaysia.

Urban waterfront redevelopments are often about image-making for economic and political gain. This article analyses three major recent waterfront projects within the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area: Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the River of Life, and Lake Putrajaya. All have been important in projecting an image of a modern, developed, postcolonial Malaysia. The article examines these waterfront landscapes in relation to three key themes: their contribution to the overall city image, to economic development, and to ecological performance. The article draws upon policy documents, project plans, interviews with local policymakers, designers and academics, field observation of the current physical development, land use and social use of the three waterfront precincts, and a mental mapping survey of users' cognitive images of how these precincts fit within the overall city image. Analysis shows that the appearance, use and development process of these three waterfront projects draw heavily on international models. The article suggests several waterfront sites and uses within the three projects that indicate a more authentic local paradigm for urban waterfront development.

This study investigates further the previous paper by Shamsul Nahar and Al-Murisi (1997) by examining the interactive effects of the variables in that paper and introducing other variables associated with corporate governance and political costs. The present study postulated that percentage of external directors on audit committee interacted with the presence of an accountant on audit committee and with the number of years an audit committee in existence, respectively, to influence audit committee effectiveness. The study also posited that the interaction of the presence of an accountant on audit committee and the number of years an audit committee in existence positively and significantly influenced audit committee effectiveness. Addition. ally, the roles of leadership structure, audit committee chairman, and a firm's size on audit committee effectiveness were also investigated. Using a multiple regression from a sample consisting the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange listed companies, results showed that only a firm's size significantly influenced audit committee effectiveness in the predicted direction. Other variables, on the other hand, did not show any significant influence on audit committee effectiveness.
