Summary: | Malaysia have been known as the country with variety of race such as Malay, Indian,
Chinese, Bidayuh, Siamese and etc.. . Siamese in Malaysia is minorities race that
always being neglected. Based on the recent statistics, there are about 51 000
Malaysians identified, belongs to the Siamese race. Siamese race is identified as a group
of people that practice the Siam ways of life and also practicing Theravada Buddhism
which is difference from Mahayana Buddhism that been practicing by Most Chinese.
The place of worship in Theravada Buddhism is called Wat and there are about 70 Wat
in Malaysia.
In the 21st century, the number of Generation Y of Siamese is increasing and most of
them migrate to the city to find a job opportunity. Lacks of exposure rate on Siamese
Buddhism to the Gen Y of Siamese community have created the problem where the
knowledge of Siamese Buddhism is slowly diminished from the Gen Y of Siamese. The
objective of this research is therefore to solve the above-mentioned issues by
developing an Android based mobile application for helping the Siamese Community to
easily learn about the Siamese Buddhism. In addition people also have difficulties to
find Wat locations, which are scattered in Malaysia. The research method used will be
exploratory and constructive which gathered data such as survey and interview the
expert and provide solutions based on the problem defined.Eventually, a mobile
application to provide learning content Theravada Buddhism and Wat locations in
Malaysia will be developed |
