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.
Issues related to the community resilience became more popular after the earthquake and Tsunami tragedy in the Indian Ocean and Aceh, Indonesia, 2004. The community resilience is the ability of communities to withstand and mitigate the stress of a disaster, there is less clearness on the detailed resilience-building process. The risk perception is concerns how an individual understands and experiences the phenomenon and believed to affect people’s preparedness for, responses to and recovery from natural disasters. Aims of this study are to identify the relationship between the community resilience elements such as community experience, community exposure, community reaction, community attitude, community knowledge and the community risk perception using survey gathered from 542 samples of Banda Aceh Province community, Aceh, Indonesia. Results found out there is a significant relationship between the community resilience elements such as community experience, community exposure, community reaction, community attitude, community knowledge and the community risk perception. Statistically, results confirm that the implementation of the community resilience elements such as community experience, community exposure, community reaction, community attitude, and community knowledge act as an important determinant of community risk perception towards disasters risk management at Banda Aceh Province community.
Effective graduate employability and graduates lack of preparedness for the workforce has been the topic for discourse by employers and scholars. It has been widely debated and discussed on academic platforms and forums in light of new survey findings that indicate an acute deficiency in highly essential attributes such as graduate's problem-solving ability and exposure to real-world scenarios. This is a considerably significant issue that impacts the future of our nations human resource development through unresolved unemployment issue. Thus, this research serves to suggest for service-learning courses to be adapted in the Malaysian higher education institutions as a means to address some of the deficiencies in graduate readiness. The study indicates how service-learning courses can expose students to real-world social issues and ultimately enhance work-readiness through broadening currently demanded skill sets. Undergraduate students in a service-learning course across three semesters from a local private university were asked feedback through a survey on how they felt about the course and how much it could aid potential graduates in specific areas. Additionally, comments from reflective forms were also captured for the qualitative component of this study. Findings reveal that students perceived the service-learning course positively despite being a mandatory general studies unit and gained useful demonstrative attributes in the service-learning process for future employment, indicating that the exposure and experience added value to their professional development. The contribution of this study would be highly beneficial to the consideration of service-learning programs in university to replace basic community service programs to thoughtfully incorporate professional
HANRUH is an idea of Total Defense implemented by Malaysia in which the National Security Committee presented it in May 1986 to plan solid obstruction procedures and all-encompassing. This article examines the usage of social media on the readiness of the Malaysian Government in Total Defense. The primary and secondary data were collected through the qualitative research methodology using the ethnography research design to get the study's data and information. The findings found that it is the issue of virtual life of today where it has been seen from a terrible perspective. However, in making sure of a ton of utilization of the electronic long-range casual correspondence life, it is undeniable that the Malaysian Armed Forces can essentially harm the use of online platforms today. The Malaysian Armed Forces are concerned about the miracle of spreading fake news and information that the military needs to address this issue through the long-standing undertaking with the Communications and Multimedia Commission. It is a significant effort by the Federal Government in preventing the transmission of corrupt news and information on web dealing. For the recommendations of this study, the association should anticipate that their businesses should have the verification of the genuine target of arraignment in court. It will screen the information traffic coming into the nation comparably with the data dispersed through affiliations, government networks, higher education establishments, and associations. The main thing that should be improved is to create increasingly qualified alumni in software engineering and is educated on the advanced legal sciences that enable to check the credibility of a video, picture, sound, and recording. This research profoundly implications and contribution towards the Malaysian Army as managing pandemic COVID-19 to the organization's mission. Having identified the readiness of Malaysian Government In Total Defense (HANRUH) on social media usage, these results and findings have theoretical and practical implications. Additionally, this study serves to augment knowledge of the current body of empirical research.
This descriptive study will be discussing on the disciplinary problems among the army personnel, the contributing factors to the problem as well as coming up with Islamic approach solutions to the problem. This study is significant as discipline plays primary roles in building a man's character. Discipline is also synonymous with one's manners, virtue and courtesy. Several scholars have defined discipline as a mental and moral practices in ensuring one's adherence to rules and regulation for the betterment of the society. Via Al-Quran, Islam has promoted discipline as the interjecting factor which leads to success in this world and hereafter. However, disciplinary problem in any organisation is still the core problem that needs to be resolved. Discipline and the military are synonymous and the ability to adhere to the rules that have been determined is the decisive factor which can lead to one's career excellence in the military. However, there are some military personnel who are involved in disciplinary cases which could compromise the reputation of the military. Zina (unlawful sexual relations), gambling, alcoholism are some of the criminal cases that have been committed by these personnel. It is believed that the occurrences of these cases are due to their lack of religious knowledge and practices (not performing prayers and being ignorant towards the Al-Quran), lack of parental guidance and family problems. Several steps have been taken to counter these problems as well as to curb it from further spreading such as enforcing religious classes. With that note, this paper will investigate how the principles of Al-Quran can assist in the instillation of discipline as outlined in Islamic teachings among the military personnel. This study will use a qualitative method by reviewing related documents, conducting interviews and carrying out observations in order to identify the elements which contribute to this problem. Further in-depth discussion will be carried out on the current disciplinary problems, its contributive factors and resolving steps based on the principles of Al-Quran in order to instill high discipline level within the Malaysian Armed Force.
The current emphasis by government and private sectors on issues surrounding social concerns, sustainability, and community-mindedness has prominently trickled into education institutions. This paper proposes a perspective that they can be tapped with significant potential through a thoughtful process of addressing various groups of community needs under the right conditions. With many higher education institutions implementing community service as modules, there needs to be a deeper look at how community service outcomes can expand to a broader scope of community engagement through service learning and how this can influence student engagement. Additionally, to explore the conditions that could possibly make these modules or programs effective for not just social purpose outcomes and social consciousness but filling in gaps in personal development and employability expectations. With a look at past community projects and campaigns as well as students' perceptions of the causes they create and follow through, the paper hopes to provide a practical framework for implications and considerations of the Service-Learning approach.
Military deployments are events and stressors that begin when the soldiers are deployed and end when they return home and reintegrate back into their families and communities. Religious belief accepts the basic social-value system's moral legitimacy, which serves as a crucial component of strong family bonds. Family bonding can be defined as a feeling of closeness and caring toward one's parents, which is manifested in the family through ostensible supervision, communication, involvement, and cooperative activities. This study was conducted using 384 usable data gathered from soldiers who served in various ships of the Royal Malaysian Navy. Analyzing the validity and reliability of the instrument and hence testing the research hypotheses, used SmartPLS version 3.2.8 to construct structural equation modeling. The results of path model analysis revealed two important findings: firstly, the soldier well-being (family supports', medium of communication, and personal financial) significantly correlated with religious belief; secondly, the religious belief complementary mediated the relationship between soldier well-being and family bonding. Statistically, this finding suggests that properly managing soldiers' religious beliefs act as an essential mediator between well-being aspects such as family support, medium of communication, personal finance, and family bonding. This study contributes to understanding how soldier well-being factors can strengthen family bonding among soldiers by soldier’s religious belief as a mediator in this relationship. These findings prove that the importance of a soldier’s religious belief is instilled into every soldier. Discussion, ramifications, and a conclusion are also included.
Today, graduate marketability is deteriorating. Some graduates from universities in the public sector can still not enter the employment market. This study was thus carried out on the elements which affect the marketability of graduates in Malaysia at the public university. Three hundred eighty graduate students from a public university were the participants in the research. The quantitative approach was applied in this study, descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The data gathered from the questionnaire are the medium for blasting over the Google Form platform. This study analysed data using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) Version 26. The analysis utilised included the descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation. The results have shown that the marketability of graduates has a tangible link to their personality and skills. Meanwhile, numerous regression analyses demonstrate that public university graduates' personalities, skills, and academics impact marketability. This research indicates that three key characteristics, personality, skills and academics, affect the marketability of graduate students. To prepare for job marketing, the graduate must be aware of the three variables highlighted in this research.
