Malaysia began to highlight Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. One of the targets is to strengthen the prevention and treatment of drug abuse. The recovery process among drug abuser always threatened with relapse issues. 555 Note Book is one of the initiatives proposed to empower them to sustain their recovery. Two strategies are highlighted by inculcating trust and building selfconfident. This initiative is equipped with user friendly characteristics, ease of use and a Malaysian way to portray trust. Therefore, this initiative could be one of the approaches to reduce relapse and sustain the drug treatment programme in Malaysia.
Given the increasing rise of the world's older population and the quick alteration of the socioeconomic landscape, many countries, Malaysia included, recognise the necessity to protect the economic security of the older people. This country's alarmingly ageing population will transform it into an aged nation by the year 2030. However, several issues and challenges experienced by them, such as the inadequacy of financial savings, living in poverty, and being censured by family issues, may prevent Malaysia from attaining its 2020 ambition of becoming a developed nation and aged friendly country. Thus, this study believed it was necessary to implement effective methods to tackle these issues and challenges along with maximising the health and wellness of the older population. One alternate approach proposed by this study is to increase the participation of healthy and capable older people in the labour force. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of labour force participation and engagement on older people, their family members, society, and the country in support of the alternate approach proposed. Following this aim, this study obtained the data from qualitative research for the doctoral degree of one of the authors. This study found that older people's employment favourably impacted themselves on (i) an individual level, (ii) their families and coworkers on an interpersonal level, and (iii) society on a societal level. This study also demonstrates that the employment of older people can positively impact the (iv) country. The majority of the positive impacts on older people's employment can contribute to their wellbeing, as outlined in the National Policy for Older Person (2011).
Numerous research has explored that human motivations affect learning outcomes significantly. The main aim of the research was to explore the classroom motivations of undergraduate students from the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA through the lens of the Alderfer theory of motivation. In particular, the main objective of the study was to determine how the Alderfer theory, existence, relatedness, and growth influence students' classroom motivation. The research has adopted a correlational and cross-sectional study approach. A total of 424 undergraduate students from 5 academic programs the Administrative Science and Policy Studies participated in the online survey. The questionnaire consisted of 5 sections with 24 items on Alderfer's three components of Existence, Relatedness and Growth. The study's findings show that Existence, Affective and Growth dimensions scored from moderate to high mean scores ranging from 3.5 and above. The correlation analysis shows a strong significant relationship between existence and growth r =.711, p=.000. While a weak positive relationship between existence and relatedness r=.307, p=.000 and growth and relatedness r= .150, p=.002. The study's implication indicates that most undergraduate students a moderate high level of motivation. Hence, to sustain the classroom motivation of the students, continuous psychological, materials and academic support together with training in teaching pedagogy are vital to ensure their academic success.
