The Malaysian Parliament had enacted the Franchise Act in 1998 and one of the main purposes of this Act is to monitor the registration and regulate franchise businesses in Malaysia to ensure that all the franchise businesses are following laws and regulation. Registration of franchisor (including registration of foreign franchisor) and franchisee has been stated in section 6 and 6B of the Franchise Act 1998. However, the Franchise Act 1998 is silent whether registration of a franchise business is mandatory. Meanwhile, the next issue is whether an unregistered franchise business established under a licensing or dealership agreement can register the franchise after the conclusion of the licensing agreement. The objective of this article is to look into the legal perspective of unregistered franchise business in Malaysia and suggest some proposals on how to overcome the legal issues of unregistered franchise business in Malaysia. This is qualitative study that involves a systematic study of philosophical and academic views through literatures. Therefore, this study is not an empirical study but rather a library study from various primary and secondary data sources. The study found that the Franchise Act 1998 may post a business risk to businesses intended to expand. As an innocuous venture agreement may end up becoming a franchise agreement, and an unregistered business owner may suddenly find himself at the short end of the stick, may be subject to the civil and criminal liabilities due to non-compliance of the Franchise Act 1998. As such, it is suggested that the Franchise Act 1998 should provide more monitoring and quality control over a potential franchise business before it is offered to protentional franchisees.@font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify; line-height:150%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:ES-MX; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-size:11.0pt; mso-ansi-font-size:11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:ES; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:8.0pt; line-height:107%;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}
Halal or Muslim-friendly tourism is a novel concept in the tourism sector that facilitated new and exciting possibilities for improved financial advancement. Specifically, mosque tourism has become one of the most pertinent areas (an emerging trend under halal tourism) following the rising number of tourists visiting nations with a Muslim-majority population. As such, it was vital to denote the mosque tourism concept and determine subsequent shariah and legal complexities. Additionally, identifying the appropriateness of the laws governing mosque management and visitors proved essential. The current study objectives aim to denote the mosque tourism concept, determine shariah and legal intricacies in mosque tourism, identify visitors’ requirements and satisfaction, examine the appropriateness of the laws governing mosque management and tourists, and recommend a legal framework. This qualitative research encompassed a systematic study involving philosophical and academic perspectives with past works of literature. As this study involved library research from different primary data sources, library studies and critical analyses were employed in assessing pertinent materials, data, and knowledge on Islamic religious tourism, particularly Muslim tourist protection concerns. Figures from relevant governmental agencies (Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia) would be duly measured and analysed. Furthermore, assessments of current laws, regulations, and guidelines on tourists’ legal protection in mosque tourism were also performed. The anticipated resulted served to recommend the most appropriate legal framework to be incorporated in Malaysia to safeguard all stakeholders’ interests in mosque tourism.
Whistleblowing is an act of disclosing any wrongdoing or offence to the enforcement agency by an informer known as whistleblower, and this action would result in a conflict of interest for an individual, institution or society. Some may argue that whether it is appropriate for a whistleblower to reveal other people's mismanagement or someone’s disloyalty to the company that employed him or her. This research applied qualitative study to analyse numerous primary and secondary data sources via library-based research in order to investigate the concerns and difficulties that whistleblowers encounter, as well as the relevant laws that could protect their privacy and interest. Meanwhile, the law of whistleblowing from the selected countries had been examined and the use of the valuable Islamic concept of good corporate governance had been adopted too. In fact, many countries have enacted relevant legislation to recognise the significance of whistleblowing to promote good governance in various institutions. Whistleblowers in Malaysia are protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 ('WPA 2010') as one of the efforts to demonstrate Malaysia's commitment in reducing bribery and improper action in the institutions.
The use of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles by law enforcement agencies began more than 10 years ago when the country's technology in this field was still in its infancy. Now, drones are increasingly used in law enforcement, especially for the purpose of national security surveillance and can also help reduce logistics problems. However, how effective is the use of drones in helping enforcement officers in Malaysia? Therefore, this study focuses on the discussion of legal issues in the use of drones in assisting enforcement officers as well as the facial recognition process of suspects in Malaysia. This study involves library research. The results of this study found that the use of drones is indeed used by law enforcement in their daily duties and even civilians are also allowed to use drones for leisure activities subject to the conditions determined by the authorities. Nevertheless, the legal issue regarding the use of drones should be examined to avoid any misuse of drones that bring harm to the public and even national security.
