This research aims to examine the meaning allude to appreciation of paintings which oriented with Siri Dungun painting in the context of mathematical thinking. By focusing on factors that support the relation between formalistic contexts to describe the existing of symmetry concept in ethomathematic approach. This research involves analytical study of paintings through qualitative approach with the implementation of descriptive inter-disciplinary. The symmetry properties are examined meticulously in order to classify the paintings via transformations which involve four basic repetitions via such as translation, rotation, reflection and glide reflection. This process will build a structure known as symmetry group frieze. Frieze pattern is a pattern in two dimensional surfaces that repeat in one direction. Written and visual data information is collected through documentation, visual recording and observation methods. The findings of the research showed the understanding of mapping the conceptual framework which taken from art appreciation and symmetry concept were underlying pattern and design in the studied paintings. Hence, the inter-relationship between art and mathematics cannot be denied through the beauty of paintings as well as its beauty ini mathematical aspect. The implication of this research is to appreciate paintings not only from the art appreciation point but can also be extended to various fields of philosophy perspective especially in mathematical aspect.

Government bodies play an important role in generating a balanced development of a state. In fact, the development of a society is also closely related to the systems and policies that have been established by a government body. This happens because the government body is one of the main agents and driving tools in changing society from a static and traditional to a more developed and progressive society. Therefore, this article aims to see the extent of the role played by government bodies such as Terengganu Town Council (Majlis Bandaran Terengganu), Terengganu Arts and Craft Society (TACS), Malayan Art and Craft Society (MACS), Malayan Agri-Horticultural Association (M.A.H.A), British Empire Exhibition (B.E.E) and the Trade and Industry's Office in helping the Malay enterprise and business activities in Terengganu from 1900 to 1941. This study used a qualitative method which had involved collecting and analysing data from primary sources obtained from the National Archives of Malaysia such as CO 840/1 (Terengganu Administration Report, 1910-1930), CO 840/2 (Terengganu Administration Report 1931-1940), Terengganu State Secretary File, and British Adviser Terengganu File. In addition, secondary sources such as journals, books, book chapters, and magazines were also utilised to further strengthen the study conducted. The results of the study found that the existence of various government bodies in Terengganu managed to play a significant role in developing Malay enterprises and businesses in Terengganu from 1900 to 1941.
