“…This worshiping practice is a form of animism. They seek for blessings and protection during the ritual of worshiping to nature and ancestral spirits by offering food [10,15]. These rituals and ceremonies that are passed down by the forefathers are commonly practiced in every Bidayuh village in the believe of getting protection besides preventing misfortune or disaster to the community [18].…”

“…The Bidayuh culinary practices are an intrinsic character of the Sarawak community's cultural profile, contributing to the state's distinctive identity [2]. Nevertheless, if the cultural aspect of its food is not well preserved and passed on to the younger generations, sooner or later this priceless intangible heritage risks diminishing with time [10].…”

“…In a recent opinion article written by Nagrace [11] in the New Sarawak Tribune, the author shared a similar trepidation with Goh [10] that a community may risk losing its cultural identity to modernization if its cultural assets are not safeguarded properly. Nagrace [11] also stresses the importance of inter-generational interactions between the older and younger Bidayuhs to enable knowledge and skills transfer to take place.…”

The Bidayuh cuisines and culinary practices epitomize an inherent part of the cultural profile of the Sarawak community. This indigenous group (Bidayuh) is the second-largest group contributing to the Sarawak’s distinctive identity after the Iban. The distribution of the Bidayuh community is predominantly across the districts of Lundu, Bau, Kuching and Serian in Sarawak. There are concerns that the Bidayuh traditional culinary culture will gradually beset by modernization. Many prefer convenience over the hassle of cooking using the traditional manner, hence diluting the traditional culinary knowledge among the younger generations. Therefore, ethnomethodology, a qualitative research approach, was utilized to explore the traditional culinary practices and the connotation of food among the Bidayuh indigenous group in Sarawak, Malaysia. The data were collected from nine informants [Kampong Gumbang in Bau District (n = 5) and Kampung Mongkos in Serian District (n = 4)] who had voluntarily participated in this study. Through the ethnomethodological lens, this study documented eight traditional Bidayuh recipes and the collective development of the gastronomic culture of this community that are still remembered and practiced today.

“…Hence, the traditional Chinese method of dealing with disputes inevitably lies in mediation. In fact, one may go so far as to observe that it is “dispute dissolution rather than dispute resolution which [the Chinese] hold dear” ( Goh, 2016 , p. 9). Another relevant social value is the notion of yielding ( rang ).…”

Gendered Justice in China: Victim–Offender Mediation as the “Different Voice” of Female Judges

Attempts to uncover the “different voice” of female judges through testing the statistical significance of judges’ gender in decision making have offered inconsistent results. Meanwhile, a proliferation of research suggests that such “voice” might be detected through qualitative analysis. Existing findings indicate that when female judges have discretionary power regarding case management, they will typically foster a process of settlement. Based on this information, I conducted eight months of fieldwork in China and observed 68 victim–offender mediations in four district courts. I found that the criminal division is widely perceived as a masculine setting, and female judges are accustomed to employing mediation as a preferred dispute resolution method to facilitate reconciliation between the two parties and seek civil compensation for victims. Such judicial behavior is a result of propaganda from the Supreme People’s Court and a reflection of female judges’ life and work experience. By contrast, a neglect of mediation among male judges can be identified in the same workplace. The belief that mediation is feminine and time-consuming contributes to this neglect. In addition, rape lawsuits are an exception for mediation. This explorative research not only represents one of the first efforts to reveal a “different voice” in the Chinese criminal justice system but points out a direction of research for studying the judicial behaviors of female judges worldwide.

“…Furthermore, this business network is a system of credit-worthiness through an institutionalized system of trust, where access to information and resources are limited to such an extent that without access or connections to these networks, many SMEs in Malaysia would not be able to manage to survive the uncertainties in a transitioning economy (Kuo, 1996). In addition, many traditions and customs of rural societies still thrive in many smaller cities, as such the business mentality https: //doi.org/10.15405/epms.2017.06.6 Corresponding Author: Angayar kanni Ramaiah Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN: 2421-826X 55 and practices of SMEs acting in concert so as to create a harmonious society remains a norm (Goh, 2002).…”

The Malaysian Competition Act 2010 prohibits anti-competitive conducts in Malaysia. Whilst the notion of competition law is to promote economic development by protecting the process of competition, these legal obligations might leave Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) vulnerable as they are ill equipped to comply with the law. Consequently, SMEs might be pressured to withdraw from the market in lieu of regulatory enforcement risks. This could potentially be detrimental to Malaysia's economic interests, especially in rural areas where SMEs are the main provider of essential services. We argue that the Malaysian government should grant an interim exemption or on a case by case basis to SMEs. Such measures could offer SMEs more time for transition from the traditional or localized network based business structure into a modern competitive business.
