This paper is to review the effectiveness of integration programs between the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) and the Jabatan Perpaduan Negara dan Integrasi Nasional (JPNIN) to reduce the crime index for the residential area in Malaysia. The government has announced the Six National Key Result Areas (NKRA) policy with visions to reduce crime rates, to fight corruption, to provide affordable quality education, to improve the value of life, to enhance the infrastructure in rural areas and to upgrade transport links. The Malaysian government has taken an integrated and systematic approach. First, the community needs to reduce the number of serious criminal cases such as burglary. Second, public awareness should be enhanced by encouraging their participation as volunteers. Third, by using a fair and a collective criminal system can strengthen the good organization in terms of enforcement, especially the RMP, then the public confidence will be achieved. As part of these efforts, the crime laboratory has conducted workshops with the participation of more than 30 government agencies with selected non-governmental organisations (NGOs). In order to ensure resource sharing, collaboration and responsibility, the goals of GTP is not only to reduce crime rates, but the contributions to minimise the government's budgets by avoiding building new facilities.
The research was conducted to determine the different aspects of job performance among Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCO), often mentioned as middle managers in the Malaysian Army. This study has identified that the job performance of the SNCOs in the combat element corps consists of task and contextual job performance. The quantitative approach was implemented, and the data consisting of 458 respondents were collected from soldiers of the rank of corporal and below, i.e. JNCOs from the combat element corps of the Malaysian Army in all geographic locations of Malaysia. The data analysis used was PLS-SEM to determine the acceptability of the data obtained with the hypothesised model of job performance. The R2 value of 0.852 indicates that 85.2 % of job performance is predicted by task and contextual performance constructs. The results also support the hypothesis that task performance and contextual performance have a significant positive relationship with job performance among the SNCOs. This study established that both task and contextual job performance are of equal importance in determining the job performance of middle managers of the combat element of the Malaysian Army. Nevertheless, task performance is more significant compared to contextual performance.
With the advent of nuclear weapons and increased international impetus on human rights, the likelihood of a full-blown war between actors seems less likely. Therefore, it is apparent that concepts of war would again transform to suit a more acceptable form – Hybrid Warfare. The paradigm of Hybrid Warfare aims to exploit various domains traditionally not associated with war synergistically. The acts undertaken in these domains are calculated to be below a certain threshold and offer plausible deniability, which, therefore, cannot be classified as outright acts of war. Furthermore, these acts are exploited in a ‘Grey Zone’ – where delimitations between war and peace are not earmarked or clear. The disputed region of the South China Sea, wherein territorial and maritime disputes exist among several claimants, forms an ideal Grey Zone. Dominion over this region would address China's military, Economic, Energy and Food Security needs. Thus, in an effort towards dominating the South China Sea, China has been employing numerous means such as Diplomatic Manoeuvres, Economic Intimidation, Military Force and Miscellaneous Subversions. When analysed in unison, these acts undoubtedly reveal a Hybrid Warfare character.
The user-friendly easy accessibility of the internet and social media platforms has sparked the influx of youths to impose virtual harm upon each other. Past research on university students has outlined the negative influences of cyberbullying have seen a higher trend and forecasted more impacts on students. This research was implemented to identify the variables ie personality, internet addiction and family communication towards cyberbully in social media among students at NDUM. A total of 140 respondents were chosen and questionnaires were used in this research. The quantitative method used in this research was descriptive analysis, multiple linear regression, Pearson's Correlation analysis and the Independent Sample T-test. Study data have been analysed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 25.0. The results of the data analysis indicate that personality, internet addiction, family communication have a positive significant correlation towards cyberbully. Based on the regression analysis, family communication has been identified as the most affecting factor compared with the other two independent variables.
