People are the main source in determining the glory of any country or organization. Therefore people
are the most precious capital of a country or organization and referred to as human capital. In any
organization, manager plays important role among available human capital. Manager actions will shape
the management of the organization and will lead the organization to achieve its goals. For Islamic
organization, implementation of Human Capital Development (PMI) based on a Western perspective, will considered as a less appropriate approach. This paper aims to develop a conceptual model of PMI
from an Islamic perspective. Furthermore, this paper aims to provide useful insights for managers or
policy makers in understanding how to do Islamization in their organization and what needs to be done
to ensure successful process of Islamization. This study will fill the gap of knowledge on PMI based
Islamic perspective which consider quite limited. Qualitative method using existing available literature
through content analysis was used in this study. The study showed that PMI based Islamic perspective
should be encompass by both physical and spiritual (mind and emotions) aspects. The development of
both aspects will able to generate taqwa human capital which characterized by amar ma’ruf nahi
mungkar, has a clear mission, tawazun, sakinah, moral dignity and mutual cooperation. As conclusion,
PMI based Islamic perspective will have implications for the training conducted in organizations which
should not only focus on the physical aspect, but also need to focus on the spiritual aspect.
Kajian ini memberi tumpuan terhadap salah satu kategori lakuan bahasa yang diperkenalkan oleh Searle (1969), iaitu lakuan ekspresi. Lakuan ekspresi ialah ujaran-ujaran yang menunjukkan pernyataan psikologi yang memberi gambaran tentang sikap dan perasaan penutur. Analisis kajian ini dilakukan terhadap ujaran-ujaran yang terdapat dalam 40 artikel kritikan Tun Dr. Mahathir dalam isu 1MDB. Melalui kajian ini, sebanyak lima kategori telah dikenal pasti, iaitu lakuan pernyataan, lakuan kritikan, lakuan rujukan, lakuan arahan, dan lakuan ekspresi. Namun demikian, kajian ini hanya memberi tumpuan terhadap lakuan bahasa ekspresi. Analisis mendapati lakuan ekspresi menunjukkan bilangan ujaran paling sedikit berbanding dengan kategori lakuan bahasa yang lain, iaitu sebanyak 20 kekerapan. Lakuan pernyataan mencatatkan kekerapan tertinggi, dengan jumlah kekerapan sebanyak 1302 ujaran, diikuti oleh lakuan kritikan di tempat kedua dengan kekerapan sebanyak 828. Lakuan rujukan dan lakuan arahan masing-masing dengan kekerapan sebanyak 297 dan 128. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa Tun Dr. Mahathir melakukan kritikan tanpa mengutamakan ekspresi perasaan atau emosi. Sebanyak tujuh sublakuan ekspresi yang ditemui, iaitu lakuan bimbang, hairan, ucapan selamat, kehendak, enggan, minta maaf, dan ucapan terima kasih. Hal ini merumuskan bahawa dalam kritikan, khususnya kritikan bertulis, Tun Dr. Mahathir tidak menunjukkan ekspresi emosi yang berlebihan.
The Open Market scenario provides high levels of unreliability to culinary arts graduates where they
are no longer promised a place in the hospitality and tourism sectors but rather to compete with
graduates from other fields for employment. Hence, the field of entrepreneurship is seen as an
alternative in building a career that can help in reducing the dumping of graduates in the job market in
line with the government's call encouraging more entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Therefore, this study is
aimed at identifying the tendency to entrepreneurship among students of the final year semester of the Diploma in Culinary Arts, Hospitality School and Tourism Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran Johor
(SHPKYPJ). Measurements for this study were based on surveys using questionnaire and data
collected by Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) Version 21.0. The results of the study
found that overall respondents have a high inclination towards entrepreneurship. If they are more
focused, encouragement and exposure are given to them, the probability that they become
entrepreneurs after graduation will be higher.
Negotiation is a crucial tool for resolving a dispute. The outcome of every negotiation relies heavily on
the negotiation strategies of the parties involved, the exchange of information and their characters
during the negotiation process. Considering distributive approach, the negotiators are more interested
in the maximization of personal achievements as they are not concern in collective or joint success with
their partners. One of the key requirements for the integrative strategy is cooperation between the
negotiators while distributive strategy is purely for a competitive approach. These two types of
strategies distributive and integrative are in relation to the behavior and attitudes negotiators normally
display in a negotiation table: cooperative and competitive. The reason why negotiators commonly
used cooperative and competitive strategies are mentioned in this paper, distributive and integrative
strategies are also summarized. Follow by possible solution of overcoming the negotiation challenges
is discussed.
The higher learning institution especially private college is growing day by day with the variation of
course especially for the culinary art students. Culinary Arts is one area in Technical Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) where students need to adapt the real-world working as a chef besides
fundamental subject matter knowledge, techniques and hands-on skills for cooking in order to survive
in the industry. The course syllabus of culinary art is patterned to provide a stage for students who want
to be a chef in the future. This study is looking forward to find the importance of internship in Kolej
Yayasan Pelajaran Johor towards culinary art students. The internship is gradually enhancing the
student knowledge, confidence level and performance which enable them to be more confident when
coming back from internship. This positive indication and feedback may affect towards students,
lecturers, private institutional itself and Ministry of Higher Education.
Fabian Society is a type of political think tank which was founded by a group of students and
intellectuals at London School of Economics (LSE), United Kingdom in the late of 19 centuries. The
Fabian political thought is a new manifestation of socialist ideology in United Kingdom emerged through the role of Labour Party Partiat that time. After the World War II, the influence of this political
thought began to widespread throughout Malaya via British-educated Malayan students. This
development brought about a new form of political idealism based on social-democrat orientation
which emphasized on class struggles and civil issues in Malaya. Thus, the aim of this article is to
scrutinize objectively and descriptively the influence of the Fabian political thought in the Malaysian
political development from 1952 to 1970. Using the approach of history reconstructionist, the analysis
discussion was developed based on the use of primary sources as the argument base. The research
findings indicate that the influence of the Fabian political thought developed in Malaya by the role of
the socialist intellectual-progressive group throughout the research. The development did not only
involve labour movements and left-wing political parties such as Malayan Democratic Union (MDU)
and the Malayan Labour Party, but it also influenced students movements at universities through
University of Malaya Socialist Club in Singapore around 1950s and students societies in Universiti
Malaya, Kuala Lumpur around 1960s. In fact, at the same time the progressive Fabian group slipped in
right-conservative group through their direct involvement in UMNO and the Perikatan regime at the
time. This indirectly proves that there is a different side of the socialist role through the role of the
Fabian group in the development of democracy and politics in Malaysia.
Kerajaan Malaysia telah memberikan penumpuan terhadap aspek keselamatan dan pembangunan
pertahanan sejak dari kemerdekaan negara lagi. Pada ketika ini, ancaman yang dihadapi oleh negara
adalah melibatkan dua bentuk ancaman iaitu ancaman dari dalam negara dan ancaman dari luar negara.
Kebanyakkan negara khususnya di rantau Asia Tenggara telah mencapai kemerdekaan di antara tahun
1950-an dan 1960-an. Sebagai sebuah negara yang juga boleh dikategorikan juga baru mencapai
kemerdekaan, negara-negara di rantau Asia Tenggara ini tidak lari dari menghadapi pelbagai ancaman
yakni ancaman dari sudut dalaman negara seperti ancaman pemberontakan komunis semasa insurgensi,
konflik etnik, ketidakstabilan politik, rusuhan kaum, masalah perpaduan dan sebagainya telah menjadi
faktor yang juga telah mempengaruhi perbentukan Dasar Pertahanan Negara (DPN). Manakala
ancaman dari sudut luar seperti persempadan, persaingan kuasa besar antara Amerika Syarikat dan
Kesatuan Soviet semasa perang dingin yang juga menyebabkan berlakunya ketidakstabilan politik,
konflik dan peperangan di rantau Asia Tenggara, persaingan ideologi, ketegangan hubungan dan
konflik hubungan antara negara, ancaman terrorisme dan pemberontakan serta sebagainya telah
mempengaruhi dan memaksa negara Malaysia untuk membangun serta memodenkan sistem pertahanan
negara.
“Fenomena anarki” telah mempengaruhi kebanyakan negara untuk memberikan tumpuan dan
perhatian terhadap pembangunan Angkatan ketenteraan bagi menjamin keselamatan untuk tujuan
kelangsungan hidup. Manakala merujukkan kepada teori neo-realisme, teori ini mengatakan dilema
keselamatan sebagai situasi yang sentiasa ada ancaman yang cuba untuk menggugat keselamatan
negara mahupun ianya dari bentuk unsur ancaman tradisional mahupun dari unsur dari ancaman bukan
dari tradisional. Akibat dari senario keselamatan dan sifat anarki dalam sistem antarabangsa, keadaan
ini akan menyebabkan negara perlu bergantung pada diri sendiri untuk kelangsungan hidup. Ini
merujuk kepada konsep self help atau self reliance di mana setiap negara mempunyai kepentingan
negara mereka tersendiri dalam meneruskan kelangsungan hidup dalam sistem antarabangsa. Melihat
dari sudut Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM,) perspektif pembangunan dan pemodenan ATM semasa
era Perang Dingin dan Pasca Perang Dingin ternyata mempunyai perubahan yang signifikan di mana
pembangunan ATM sebelum tahun 1990 lebih bersifat konvensional dan pasca Perang Dingin
memperlihatkan pembangunan ATM bersifat lebih strategik.
The community has active roles to play to mitigate child maltreatment. In reviewing the Child Abuse
and Neglect prevention measurement in Malaysia, the readiness score is relatively at the moderate level
based on World Health Organization assessment tools. The primary objective was to assess a
relationship between collective efficacy and child maltreatment in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The crosssectional
and correlational study has been adopted. A sum of 390 questionnaires were disseminated to
Petaling Jaya community, particularly those who were married with at minimum one child. The
findings have revealed that the social cohesion and child maltreatment possesses a significant
relationship (r= 0.111, p0.05) with child maltreatment. The findings of this study contribute to several significant
contribution. Several suggestions were provided for the Malaysian government to initiate some
community approaches in effort to mitigate child maltreatment. It is practically to recommend the
government to invigorate the comprehensive policies in fostering the community awareness to exercise
their social responsibility in community in addressing the child maltreatment issues. The community
awareness enables to enhance proactive involvement in which it could prompt the active action and
establish a set of partnership among community group members. Hence, it is able to strengthen the
solid protection to increase the resilience of children due to the proactive society to protect the
vulnerable children and have zero tolerance on violence against children.
This paper examined the influence of psychosocial factors on student’s academic performance. Selfadministered
questionnaire was applied as the method of data collection and a sample of 339 students’
from five faculties/schools in Potiskum College were chosen based on stratified and simple random
sampling techniques to complete the survey. After analyzing the data collected, Person’s correlation
coefficient reflected that, there was a positive and significant correlation between the all four variables:
students’ attitudes towards lecturers, academic self-efficacy, students’-lecturers’ interaction and
academic performance. Moreover, multiple regression analysis by using stepwise method was
conducted to estimate the prediction power of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The
finding indicated that only attitude and interaction could significantly predict students’ academic
performance by R2=65.6%. Meaning academic self-efficacy failed to predict academic performance in
present study. To conclude in this study, attitude and interaction are important factors in influencing
students’ academic performance positively in Potiskum College of education, Nigeria.
Present research investigated the impact of executive dysfunction on academic performance among
students in their middle childhood. It was hypothesized that school teacher’s rating of executive
dysfunction in students can significantly predict their performance in Mathematics and Science
subjects. The study used primary data which was collected from public schools of Lahore. An
indigenized executive dysfunction inventory was constructed for this purpose and psychometric
properties were established. It was postulated that student’s performance in Science and Math will vary
based on their executive dysfunction and the results attested to this hypothesis. Demographic properties
were also evaluated through age, number of siblings, gender, family system, and mother profession.
Statistical findings revealed that higher level of executive dysfunction is associated with lower level of
science and math performance.
High-performance leaders are clearly stated as a wish in the 5 PPPM Shift 2013 -2025 which ensures
high-performance leadership is placed in each school that refers to the principal and headmaster of
excellence. High-performing leaders are recognized to drive the achievement of students towards
excellence due to their ability to ensure the civilization and positive school environment, clear
direction, close collaboration, high commitment, staff improvement program and good external
relation. Recognizing the importance of high-performing leaders in creating more Cluster School of
Excellence (SKK), the criteria, leadership training and leader development process are highlighted as
well as describing the study gap based on the development of high-performing leadership. The criteria
of high-performing leaders include leaders’ practices, preliminary factors, and leaders’ future direction.
Next, leadership training such as NPQEL is closely linked to the Continum Leadership Development.
Leadership development is based on leadership phase before starting career, while being a teacher, before becoming headmaster, while being headmaster, while being SKK headmaster, and future phase.
Discussions on these aspects have led to the findings of the study’s gap on matters in the development
phases of SKK’s headmaster as well as in the conceptual framework that have a profound impact on
high-performance leaders.
Accessible tourism is considered new-partially conceptual that being implemented in the tourism
industry. This study carry out to investigate and to determine disabled people in engage with the
tourism activities in Kuala Lumpur City. This study uses qualitative of face-to-face interview and
quantitative of questionnaire survey. Five domains had been set for interview purposes, while
questionnaire survey involved with two main parts, namely demographic profile and the experienced of
disabled people in expose to tourism activities in Kuala Lumpur city. This questionnaire uses
Thurstone scale and Likert scale. Complete collection data will be input using SPSS v.23 for analysis.
The result indicates majority participants are positively agreed that infrastructure or services, as well as
information map should be prepared in appropriated ways would increase the accessible tourism. The
education also plays an important role that able to sustain the accessible tourism industry for longer
term. Nevertheless, most of participants are partially disagreed in the facilities provided, which likely
to refer to the public toilets and transportations, as well as hotels management that should serve
specialty to disabled people. They do opinion that public facilities should be upgrade, as well as
comment on the hotel staffs should undergo for training and behave friendlier attitude, which important
to provide comfortable condition towards the disabled people. This study suggests disabled people
have self-encouraged in engage with the tourism activities in Kuala Lumpur. At the same time, further
study in exploratory, understandable, and predictable on accessible tourism are required, especially
involved in the sub-urban and rural area that provide facilities and services for the tourism industry.
This Methodology framework in research study smoothing the process of collecting data. Research
study is categorized into qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research refer to a studies
require careful observation, while quantitative research refers to a studies involve in statistics.
Qualitative and quantitative research study can be determined through primary and secondary data.
Primary data is defined as data that comes from original or the first source, while secondary data is
defined as data that has been collected by other researchers. Primary data can be categorized into
active and passive. Active primary data can be divided into direct interview (through face to face
between researcher and respondents) and interviewed indirectly (e.g. by phone, mail, technology),
while passive primary data involve with structured and secret characteristic, structured and open
characteristic, unstructured and secret characteristic, unstructured and open characteristic. Secondary
data involves with writing (journals, books, magazines, past records, reports and documents, internet, theses, short stories, newspaper), as well as vision and hearing (speeches, movies and videos, songs,
stories). Even secondary data has its advantages and disadvantages, but both secondary and primary
data are depend on each other in solving the society problems through the achievement of the
objectives or hyphotheses in a research study.
Research study is an academic methods applied in real world in solving problems associated with the
society. The research process in achieving objectives of study will have a complete framework
including methodology. Methodology can be defined as method used to collec and compile data
through effective procedures in resulting the study problems. Methodology is divided into three stages,
namely the planning process, application process, and analysis process. This literature review of
methodology framework prioritizes on the planning process that involve with research study design,
which can be divided into an experimental and non-experimental. Experimental methods can be
categorized into real-experimental studies and quasi-experimental studies. Meanwhile, nonexperimental
can be divided into experimental survey, field studies, case studies, action studies and
historical studies. Mostly experimental methods are used in pure science and non-experimental methods used in social sciences. However, both methods are still relevant to be applied into certain
areas of study in order to achieve the objectives and hypothesis. Therefore, the methodology are
compulsory to be designed and applied properly, precisely and accurately so that the process of
collecting data in the period of before, during and after collection will not involve with ant errors,
mistakes and carelessness that may affect the research study.
Methodology is compulsory in research study that involve with the process of design,
application, and analysis. The literature review was conducted to describe the relationship of
sampling area, sample size, and determination of the measurement scale. The sample size can
be determined through formula (or equation). When sample size are applied in sampling area,
probability and non-probability sampling will be involve in determining the quantity and
quality of data collection for research. Random probability sampling is divided into simple
random, systematic, stages random, various stages random, and grouping; while nonprobability
sampling can be divided into chance, aimed, quota, snowball, dimensional, critical cases, and maximum variation. Next, the measurement scale can be determined through
normal, ordinal interval and ratio in questionnaire or interview, which all four scales will be
determine measurements such as Likert scale, Thurstone scale, Guttman scale, and the
difference procedures of Sematics scale in carrying out an analysis research. Therefore, the
sample size and sampling area, and also the choice of measurement scale is important in the
methodology for smoothing and accelerating the process of collecting and gathering data.
The Northeast Monsoon flood disaster is a nature catastrophic that struck during monsoon season,

The study investigates the vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) used by Mengubah Destini Anak
Bangsa (MDAB) pre-diploma students at the Machang Campus of Universiti Teknologi MARA
Kelantan (UiTMCK). For this purpose, a Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire (VLSQ) based
on Schmitt’s (1997) Vocabulary Learning Strategies Taxonomy was administered to 76 MDAB prediploma
students. The findings revealed that the students were medium users of VLS who used
metacognitive strategies most frequently and cognitive strategies least frequently. The findings also
revealed that there was no significant difference in the use of VLS among the male and female
students. However, the results of Independent Samples T-test in the use of individual items for all VLS
categories revealed significant difference in the mean scores of several strategies.
