    This paper seeks to illustrate how empowerment theory can be applied as a critical approach which
    could heighten power and capacity in community development. This is because empowerment is not
    just viewed through theory or philosophy only, but as an active approach which could be applied to
    enhance individual, oganizational or even communal prosperity. Many communal issues discussed by
    scholars such as poverty, health, women, people with disability, single mothers, youth, leadership, organization and many others utilises the empowerment approach. This is because it is the most
    effective approach in resolving issues by empowering individual or target group to take effective action
    through ability and potential, which have been developed. Discussion will ensue with definition of
    empowerment, which will be elucidated, with the concept of power. In the context of community
    development, empowerment refers to a mechanism where individual, organization and community will
    amass control on life and related issues affecting them such as economy, social, psychology and
    politics. To understand this concept clearly, discussion of empowerment concept will be closely
    examined to view the definition from two different dimensions, which is whether empowerment can be
    ascertained as a process, benefit or outcome. By using the qualitative approach, which is through
    analysing content, books, journals and other references, a few steps or process have been unearthed to
    apply empowerment as an approach, which could be practiced in the context of community
    development specifically in rural areas.

    Cyberbullying has emerged of late as a serious issue, especially among the most active internet users in Malaysia – youths. As the number of related studies is still lacking, the present study aims to determine the predictors of cyberbullying among youths in Malaysia. The study is quantitative in nature and in total had involved 400 youths aged between 18 to 40 years old. The findings suggest that predictors such as age, loneliness, self-esteem, and empathy yielded significant relationship with cyberbullying, while males were predominantly reported to perpetrate cyberbullying than females. Several recommendations were highlighted and hopefully, it can assist any concerned parties in developing concrete strategies to reduce cyberbullying cases among youths in Malaysia further.

    Artikel ini meneliti desentralisasi kuasa dan hubungnya dengan penglibatan komuniti Iban dalam Skim
    Pembangunan Kesejahteraan Rakyat (SPKR). Bagi tujuan pengumpulan data kajian, kaedah temu bual
    berstruktur menggunakan borang soal selidik telah dijalankan ke atas 260 Ketua Isi Rumah (KIR)
    rumah panjang di Daerah Song, Sarawak. Penemuan kajian menunjukkan desentralisasi kuasa dalam
    program di bawah SPKR berada pada tahap sederhana. Analisis Ujian Khi Kuasa Dua pula
    menunjukkan terdapat perhubungan yang signifikan (p ≤ 0.05) antara tahap desentralisasi kuasa dengan
    penglibatan masyarakat Iban dalam pelaksanaan dan penilaian program di bawah SPKR. Ini
    menggambarkan semakin tinggi tahap desentralisasi kuasa yang diterima oleh masyarakat, maka
    semakin tinggi tahap penglibatan mereka dalam aktiviti pelaksanaan dan penilaian program di bawah
    skim tersebut. Sebaliknya, perhubungan tersebut adalah tidak signifikan (p ≥ 0.05) dari segi tahap
    penglibatan dalam membuat keputusan dan berkongsi manfaat daripada program di bawah SPKR.

    This study sought to develop and validate an instrument measuring cyberbullying among
    Malaysian youths. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to determine the best
    sub-factors and items for the instrument, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was
    performed to test and validate the measurement model. Results from EFA on 38 items
    showed that the items were pooled into four sub-factors. Meanwhile, results from CFA
    indicated that eight items had to be discarded in order to confirm that the model was fit.
    Overall, the final version of the instrument consisted of four cyberbullying sub-factors,
    namely, impersonation (13 items), cyberstalking and harassment (nine items), flaming (four
    items), and elimination (four items).
