    Military training and periodical assessment are essential in preparing a well-built soldier physically and mentally for the Malaysian Army Forces. One of them is the water survival training test. The test consists of a series of aquatic tasks conducted in a remote area. As a matter of fact, it requires a water-pool facility which is durable and portable. Therefore, this research aims to design and prototype a modular portable swimming pool for floating exercises and assessment for military personnel. The study is conducted in partnership with the Royal Army Engineers Regiment, with the objectives being to design, simulate, prototype, and build the modular portable swimming pool for military uses. The study output was tested, evaluated, and appraised on the swimming pool workability on site. The methodology is divided into 4 phases; (i) Content Studies and Design Profiling, (ii) Digital Prototyping, Evaluation and Testing, (iii) Physical Prototyping-Materials and Method; and (iv) Application and Measurement. The study seeks to maximise the training of military personnel and reduce the transportation time and resource costs of building a permanent pool by placing it with a modular portable swimming pool, which is more cost-efficient and user-friendly. The findings of Phase 1 prototyping required improvement on design structure where it indicated disadvantages in sustaining water volume ability at targeted level due to structural integrity. Upon improvement of Phase 2 prototyping using metal with bracing frame the pool are able to sustain the desired water volume at 5200 l<sup>3</sup>. Moreover, this study, also responds to the approaches of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9, 16 and 17 towards harmonizing and interconnecting the three core elements of sustainability, economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection for human well-being.

    MURNInet (Malaysia Urban Indicators Network) is a framework developed by FDTCP (Federal Department of Town and Country Planning, Peninsular Malaysia) to measure the sustainability levels and performance of urban development in Malaysia. Since its launch in 2002, MURNInet set as a foundation to assess urban development in Malaysia. After review and refinement, it was rebranded as MURNInets (Malaysian Urban-Rural National Indicators Network for Sustainable Development) comprises of 6 sustainable dimensions, 20 sustainable themes and 39 sustainable indicators. The revised MURNInets provides wider agglomeration economies which offers larger prospects for knowledge and sharing information, effective provision of services especially in health and education, and also on cultural exchanges. The aims of this article is to examine the significance and achievement on the implementation of MURNInets by Malaysian Local Authorities. The method used in this study is semi-structured interviews with 8 registered urban planners of government agencies and government-linked organisations. The outcomes suggested that all these sustainable factors are important for societal development, empowerment of public community, wellbeing, cultural solidification, transformation and cosmopolitanism. Generally, all dimensions, theme and indicators were achieved in the implemented score.
