“…It is not about teaching how to run a business, but about encouraging creative thinking and promoting a strong sense of self-worth and accountability. Many of the higher educational institutions are teaching entrepreneurship programs to increase entrepreneurial skills among university students [15,16,17,18,19,20].…”

Entrepreneurship education has been the focus in the Malaysian universities and entrepreneurial intentions have been proven as the primary predictors for future entrepreneurial behaviour among the students. Structural equation modelling is proposed as the methodology for the study as 'entrepreneurial intentions' is a 'latent' or 'unobservable' behaviour. A hypothetical model was developed for the study. Data was collected from 396 university students and analysed using structural equation modelling through AMOS 22.0. The model was tested through a two-stage SEM. The first stage was tested using a confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate constructs of validity and all CFA on constructs were tested for goodness fit of the structural model. The data was analysed with the conclusion and findings together with the implications of theory and practice. The paper discusses the recommendations for the study with regard to how entrepreneurship curricula and teaching methodologies should be improved and the roles of Malaysian universities in promoting entrepreneurship. Methods of how students' attitudes could be changed towards entrepreneurship, the roles of the government, SMEs, financial institutions and the parents of students towards a entrepreneurial society have been discussed. The limitations for the study and suggestions for further research have been proposed.

“…It should be noted that national indifference does not entail explicit political disagreement with the nationalist programme. In practice, Zahra uses the term to denote three types of behaviour: 1) ‘national agnosticism’ or ‘complete absence of national loyalties as many individuals identified more strongly with religious, class, local, regional, professional, or familial communities’ (Zahra, : 4); 2) fluidity and flexibility among ‘nationally ambivalent populations’ (Zahra, : 98). These groups practiced opportunistic side‐switching between different nations depending on the rewards they hoped to gain by explicitly adhering to one or the other.…”

“…She rejects the notion that it is a premodern relic of local, regional, dynastic or religious loyalties. (Zahra, : 5) This is a clear departure from the modernist paradigm, which, following the likes of Eugen Weber and Ernest Gellner, sees national indifference as a premodern relic.…”

“…This heuristic‐methodological issue is especially relevant as recent historical research on the topic of ‘national indifference’ is in direct contradiction to Billig's assumptions. The concept national indifference has been coined by historians working on late nineteenth and early twentieth century East Central Europe (mainly the Austrian part of the Habsburg monarchy) (see Bjork, , Judson, , King, , Zahra, ). Their main thrust is that the nationalist struggle in East Central Europe prior to WWI was not driven by mass fervour for the nation, but rather its opposite: ordinary people exhibited resistance, indifference, ambivalence and opportunism when dealing with issues of nationhood and nationalist claims (Zahra, : x).…”

This reaction can often be interpreted as an unreflective challenge to nationalist assumptions, the opposite of Billig's unmindful acceptance of nationalism.…”

How to gauge banal nationalism and national indifference in the past: proletarian tweets in Belgium's belle époque

Michael Billig's theory of banal nationalism involves the assumption that the absence of an explicit discourse on the nation should be interpreted as the unmindful presence of nationalism and that the mass media faithfully represent or reflect the discourses of ‘ordinary people’. Recent historical research of ‘national indifference’ in imperial Austria has inverted the correlation between the ubiquity of nationalist discourses and their impact in society. This article assesses these conflicting frameworks and refutes AD Smith's critique of everyday nationalism research as necessarily ahistorical and presentist. This case study of the rank‐and‐file of the social‐democratic Belgian Workers' Party at the close of the nineteenth century uses a unique source of working‐class voices: the so‐called ‘propaganda pence’ or ‘proletarian tweets’ from the Flemish‐speaking city of Ghent. Hot, explicit nationalism was absent from these sources, which begs the question: is this proof of banal nationalism or national indifference? A historically contextualized analysis of the absences shows that workers expressed national indifference towards Belgian, but not towards Flemish ethnicity. In Rogers Brubaker's terms: Flemish ethnicity was a relevant social category, but only in a very restricted number of social contexts could it become a basis for ‘groupness’ or political mobilisation in daily life.
