The Simbur Cahaya Bangkahulu Constitutional Law was enacted in Bengkulu in 1862 during the reign of assistant resident J. Walland. This law was originally named Piagem Ratu Sinuhun (1639-1650) which was drafted together with ministers and Islamic Religious Figure (Ulama). Some of its contents are taken from the Javanese law which is called Simboer Tjahaja Karta Ampat Bitjara Lima. This study used qualitative research by combining library research and field research. For data collection techniques, in this case it has been analyzed from various available sources or other information related to the study of the concept of local wisdom in the community and as a source of legal education in Islamic higher education research institutions. Based on the results of research that has been done, this law was named the Sindang Marga Law during the reign of Sultan Palembang Darussalam Abdurrahman and changed to the Simbur Cahaya Law during the reign of the Dutch East Indies. When compared between the criminal law of the Criminal Code (Dutch Heritage) with Islamic law, customary law and law of Majapahit kingdom, it turns out that the law we use does not pay attention to the interests and material rights or personal property rights of the victim. Meanwhile, the crime in the Simbur Cahaya Bangkahulu Law requires the perpetrator or the convicted person to return the loss to the victim. So that values in customary law that are still relevant and more just should be used as a source of national law.

Textbooks play a vital role as the teaching and learning resources for both English as Second Language (ESL) educators and learners. A number of studies have been conducted to evaluate the Malaysian EL textbooks. However, studies focused on vocabulary in Malaysian CEFR primary school textbooks are still limited. Therefore, this research intends to address the identified research gaps through evaluating vocabulary presentation in CEFR Get Smart Plus 4, a textbook widely used among Malaysian Year 4 learners. The study aims to identify the usefulness of the vocabulary presentation provided in the textbook. A mixed method explanatory design was selected for the study. A group of ESL educators was chosen via purposive sampling technique to collect information regarding the subject matter. The textbook evaluation checklist on vocabulary was distributed among 48 respondents while 3 educators were interviewed via semi-structured interview protocols to obtain further information. The result of the study uncovered a moderate usage of the vocabulary presentation in the targeted textbook as proven in the overall mean of 2.74 (SD=0.71). Hence, the vocabulary presentation in the textbook is purposeful. As for the future studies, the researchers can widen the sample size and focus on the other language skills.

“…Generally, learners utilize different types of EDs in their language learning (Ayed, 2020;El-Sawy, 2019;Zamkova et al, 2023). In terms of language numbers in a dictionary, Alhaisoni (2016), Zamkova et al (2023), and Wei and Chang (2022) found that learners prefer bilingual EDs to monolingual EDs, while Hakim, Aryati and Kurniawan (2020) and Metruk (2017) indicated that learners mostly use monolingual EDs for their learning, especially for pronunciation learning. Some popular and reliable monolingual EDs which were proposed by Hilary and Warwick (2000) are Oxford Learner's Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, and Macmillan Dictionary.…”
