Analyzing chronology of Bukit Kepong attack using 3D model reconstruction of Bukit Kepong police Station / Siti Baroroh Daim

Digital documentation of historic building in Malaysia rarely exists because
technology in early time is not capable in providing a decent documentation.
Documentation of historic building is necessary in order to conserve the history of the
building itself. The conservation of historic building helps public to get better
understanding and appreciate the history of the buildings. The purpose of this research
is to analyze chronology of Bukit Kepong Police Station attack using 3D model of
Bukit Kepong Police Station and its surrounding topography for PDRM's uses by
using SketchUp Pro. This research can also serve the purpose in increasing public
awareness about history of Bukit Kepong Police Station tragedy. Since the research
about historic building in Malaysia is lack, the idea to do this research is come out.
The main data required to conduct this research is image of Bukit Kepong Police
Station remains and its surrounding topography. This research utilized the images
collected into 3D model with the aid of SketchUp Pro software. From the generated
3D model, analysis on the chronology of the incident can be well-studied and can be
used as future reference and increase public awareness about this tragic incident. 3D
model of historic building can help people to understand better about an object even
the object is not accessible. There are two major outcomes in this research which are
3D model of Bukit Kepong Police Station and 3D model of surrounding topography
of the historic building.
