“…(Alam et al 2018). In line with that, the focal point of Maqasid Sharia and SDGs is sustainable and inclusive development (Amin et al 2015). In the context of maqasid sharia, this paradigm requires the waqf model to evolve into an inclusive institution that covers issues capable of maintaining human dignity as one of its main objectives.…”

Waqf-based development is in line with the goals of the SDGs. Waqf institutions play an important role in actualizing the SDGs targets including point 16 which is peace, justice and strong institutions. This study aims to design and propose a waqf model for SDGs point 16 peace, justice, and strong institutions in the world by combining the concept of waqf with the activities of related institutions. This research proposes that the best waqf-SDGs model for point 16 is the integrated Waqf & ZIS model. This model is a type of waqf that is social in nature, where waqf is collaborated with ZIS instruments. So that the utilization of this instrument is suitable for social purposes. The implementation of the waqf models that have been proposed with their respective priorities can potentially become an Islamic social fund instrument that participates in supporting the SDGs to ensure that all humans can enjoy a prosperous life and advance economically, socially, and technologically in harmony with nature.

In comparison to work-family conflict (WFC), family-work conflict (FWC) has not been examined heavily, particularly the types of family-work conflict, that is., time-based, strain-based and behaviour-based. Even though many antecedents for FWC originated from family domain, due to spillover and crossover effect, organization will also suffer the negative consequences of FWC. Thus, by understanding the specific types of the family-work conflict, more specific interventions can be undertaken by organizations. The aim of this study is to advance the understanding of family-work conflict types in Eastern culture by comparing it with ten Western studies that utilized the same measure i.e. family-work conflict scale by Carlson, Kacmar and William [1]. Descriptive statistics and one sample t test in SPSS version 23 were used to analyze the data. In general, behaviour-based FWC is higher than time and strain-based FWC. Malaysian employees scored significantly higher FWC than did other Western studies. Male Malaysian respondents particularly, scored highest in all three dimensions of FWC than did the Westerners. Thus, culture dimensions such as collectivist and polychronic time orientation as well as support for child and elder care and social problems may shed some lights on understanding this interesting finding

“…They all indicated a disconnect between democratic institutionalism and state-led governance. On the other hand, neo-liberal democratic state practices helped a resource-abundant Malaysian government to also promote export-oriented manufacturing in the late1960s and avoid a staple trap (Abidin, 2004;Amin, Yusof & Haneef, 2006;Koen, Asada & Nixon, 2017). These historical experiences further inform the function of institutions at both formal and informal levels (North, 1990).…”

Metagovernance has traditionally been evolving as an effective mode of governance in developed democracies for states or governments to legitimately steer and coordinate stakeholder governance across jurisdictions. This article extend this work to understand the application of metagovernance in the context of developing democracies. Using an institutionalist viewpoint, the article explores the conceptual and empirical bases of metagovernance, drawing from the political science and political economy literature on developing economies to explain how political institutions can shape the state capacity to metagovern socio-economic activities in developing democracies. This article finds that the state capacity to metagovern can be challenged by weak democratic political practices.
