This study has investigated the relationship between the changes in oil and natural gas prices on the Malaysian economic sectors. Four economic sectors were selected namely manufacturing, services, agriculture, and mining. However, there was less study conducted at the sector level. Hence, the goal of this paper is to explore the impact of oil and gas prices on economic sectors GDP. This study has conducted econometrics modelling based on the ARDL bound testing with the spanning time series data from year 1987 to 2017. The empirical findings revealed that the relationship between the oil and natural gas prices in the manufacturing and services sector is negative, while the agriculture sector showed a positive relationship, and the mining sector showed no relationship. The empirical findings concluded that the manufacturing and services sectors that consumed more energy are dependent on the price changes. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector is a highly subsidised sector which has a positive relationship with energy prices. In the policy recommendation, Malaysia has to apply the energy pricing policy by offering energy subsidy to the high energy consumed sectors. Finally, Malaysia should develop policies that can diversify its energy resources and increase the shares of renewable energy sources.
Malaysia is widely known globally for its positive and stimulating economic growth in line with the aspiration of becoming a developed nation. The transport sector is the driver of Malaysia's nation's growth. Going forward, the availability of a high-quality transport system is a fundamental building block towards becoming a developed nation. However, most people prefer the continued usage of their vehicles than to use public transportation. This study aims to determine the relationship between public transport satisfaction, infrastructure facilities, poverty reduction, and equity in the context of continued usage of own vehicles. The research design of this study is descriptive and cross-sectional. A quantitative research method using a questionnaire survey was utilized to collect data in Klang Valley. The target respondents were of the B40 group. A total of 1000 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in which simple random sampling was performed in selecting the respondents for this study. Out of the total questionnaires distributed, only 709 (70.9%) valid and usable questionnaires were returned. Descriptive and Pearson Correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. Besides, an independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA test also were used to compare the mean level. The results revealed a significant moderate positive relationship between public transport satisfaction, infrastructure facilities with continued usage of own vehicle, with a significantly weak positive relationship between poverty reduction and equity with continued usage of own vehicle.
