Seeking knowledge is among the most important virtuein Islam. The Internet era offers more sources and new ways in gaining and producing information including religious information. However, the perception that the religious information behaviour among the Malays is not yet being studied empirically. A framework has been developed based on theories, previous related studies and interviews with Internet users. Three main aspects of behaviour being studied: usage, information seeking and verification. Data is collected using printed and electronic questionnaires. There are 616 usable data successfully gathered and analyzed through SPSS. Related to usage, the result shows that the Malays have adapted well with the Internet medium for searching the religious information. The results also show that there are changes on the technical aspect of information acquisition and delivery via the new media. However from the procedural aspect, the information behaviour among Malays are still traditional in nature based on their seeking information methods. The results suggest that the religious offline behaviour continues online, demonstrating their conservative nature. Analyzing the beahviour against the users’ background suggests that there is a statically relationship between them. A high percentage of users claimed that the verify online religious information, even though they differ on this in practice. This paper ends with recommendations to improve the information behaviour among the masses

“…One of the primary symbols associated with woven bamboo handicrafts in Kedah is the use of geometric patterns. These patterns are believed to represent the balance between nature and human beings, as well as the cyclical nature of life (Haron et al, 2014).The use of geometric patterns is also a reflection of the region's Islamic heritage, where symmetry and geometric patterns are often used in Islamic art and architecture (Syed Jan Abas, 1995) Another symbol associated with woven bamboo handicrafts is the use of natural dyes. The dyes used to colour the bamboo are often made from natural materials like turmeric, jackfruit, and indigo (Widiawati, 2009)The use of natural dyes not only adds to the aesthetics of the handicrafts but also reflects the region's belief in living in harmony with nature.…”

Malaysian stamps are typically issued to commemorate an event or to represent a specific theme. However, due to the use of digital technology, Malaysian stamps have become less popular among users. As a result, newer generations are unaware of its significance in cultural and historical contexts. . The purpose of this research is to provide valuable insights into the symbols and meanings associated with the four stamps produced by POS Malaysia Berhad in 2010. Methodology use to employ is semiotic theoretical framework, this research seeks to uncover the significance of these symbols and meanings, as well as how they relate to the local market. In order to comprehend the symbols and meanings of the stamps in relation to the local market, a content analysis and semiotic analysis approach were employed to examine four stamps that Pos Malaysia Berhad created in 2010. Semiotics, which concerns the interpretation of signs and symbols and their meanings within different contexts, is an appropriate theory for the analysis of stamps, as they frequently feature images and symbols that convey cultural and historical significance. The four stamps from 2010 depict various aspects of Malaysia's local market scene. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the economic, social, and cultural factors that are represented in these stamps and to shed light on their role in promoting the local market in Malaysia. Based on these findings, recommendations can be made for the development of future stamp designs that are better aligned with the needs and values of the local market and that can contribute to the growth and sustainability of the local market.

Woodcarving motifs, including Negeri Sembilan, are significant in Malaysian art, bearing ancient knowledge and latent meanings. However, the understanding of Malay woodcarving motifs in Kuala Pilah is relatively limited compared to the east coast. The urgency to study these motifs intensifies as urbanization rapidly changes the landscape, representing not only woodcarvers’ skills but also profound cultural symbolism. This paper aims to interpret the meanings within these motifs in traditional Malay houses in Kuala Pilah, employing qualitative methods such as observation, interviews, photographic records, and secondary data analysis alongside Ferdinand de Saussure’s Semiotics Theory for analysis. The cultural and social significance embedded in these motifs is unveiled through signifier and signified analysis. The results revealed the presence of various motifs encompassing geometry, fauna, flora, and still life. The study also uncovered that each motif plays a pivotal role in conveying the cultural and social values of the Malay people in Negeri Sembilan and enhances our understanding of the traditional art form of woodcarving amidst contemporary transformations.
