NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED WITH THE INFORMING SCIENCE INSTITUTE. Aim/Purpose................................................................................................................................................................................................ This research seeks to determine the consumer preferences between local and import rice by using theory of knowledge, attitude and perception model (KAP). Background.................................................................................................................................................................................................. Rice industry has received special attention from the government and was put as the most important food crop for ensuring the nation’s food security. This study tries to reveal the preferences of the consumer for imported rice as compared to local rice based on their knowledge, attitude and perception. Methodology................................................................................................................................................................................................ The simple random sampling technique is adopted in selecting 154 rice consumers in the Kelantan area. 154 questionnaires were distributed to them. Contribution................................................................................................................................................................................................. This paper studies the preferences of the consumer for local and imported rice. The findings presented and conclusions reached could be of interests to consumers, researchers, society, manufacturers and government. Findings....................................................................................................................................................................................................... The findings from factor analysis supported the proposed model indicated that consumer knowledge is the first factor that influenced consumer preference on the rice followed by perception and attitude. It is also suggested that the demographic factor have a relationship with consumer preference based on their knowledge, attitude and perception. Recommendations for Practitioners........................................................................................................................................................... The consumer knowledge of local rice in Malaysia should be promoted more through television and social media as this influences their attitude when purchasing rice at the market. The quantity and the availability of the local product should be based on the majority of the consumers that usually shop for rice in medium amounts from the store near their house. Government should promote local rice to consumer more often to change their perceptions about local rice production in Malaysia. Recommendation for Researchers............................................................................................................................................................... More studies can be done regarding the behavior of consumers toward imported rice compared to local rice either in Kelantan or other states in Malaysia. Impact on Society......................................................................................................................................................................................... The findings can help rice producers to understand the customers’ needs and wants. Hence, government and local producers need to fulfill society needs by producing rice which has the quality demanded by local consumers. Future Research........................................................................................................................................................................................... This study focuses in Kelantan only which does not represent other states. Due to this, further research is required to obtain the national consumer preference for rice.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK) administration of Malay schools in the state of Kelantan from 1917 until the end of British colonial rule in 1957. This involvement is examined through two of its schools, the Maahad Muhammadi (Malay) for boys and Maahad Muhammadi (Malay) for girls. The establishment of MAIK Malay schools is a testament to its professed aims of looking after local welfare, which was not given any attention under British colonial rule. MAIK had faced a myriad of challenges in its administration of Malay schools, whether from within its administration or from outside, especially from Malay schools that were under British control. Based on the qualitative method that involved the perusal of primary documents such as MAIK files, MAIK annual reports, journal Pengasuh and British annual reports on Kelantan from the National Archives of Malaysia and other institutions, this study has found that the British neglect of Malay education has made MAIK indispensable as the organisation responsible for religious affairs and defending local customs in the formal education sector of the state. With this heavy responsibility, MAIK, specifically through its Malay schools, has provided both secular and religious education in schools under its jurisdiction. MAIK’s strategy and improvisations have ensured its schools’ continuity despite competition from the Malay education provided by the colonial government. Through its organisational dynamism, MAIK has enabled itself to be involved in the planning and transformation of primary education in Kelantan from 1917 until 1957.

The central aim of many transport systems is to improve people’s access to goods, services and facilities. Improving transport access can subsequently reduce social isolation. Compared to urban areas, the issue of accessibility is more prominent in rural areas due to its distances from many opportunities. It has been proven in many studies that the provision of rural infrastructure and the improvement of rural transport can upgrade the social well-being of the rural community. The process of improving rural access should always start with the identification of the transportation needs of the community and their mobility patterns. This paper narrates the institutional challenges in implementing rural transport accessibility strategies in Kuala Krai, Kelantan. The district is located in the northeast of Peninsular Malaysia. The qualitative case-study approach used in this study involved 17 respondents; thirteen policymakers from federal, state and local governments, two local transport operators and two rural transport experts. The findings show that among the institutional challenges in the implementation process are poor communication and coordination, lack of transport planning experts and limited financial resources. The findings provide critical inputs for policymakers at various decision-making levels, namely federal, state and local, in planning and designing a more accessible transportation system for the rural population.

The East Coast Economic Region (ECER) was established in 2007 with the announcement of the ECER Master Plan by the Malaysian Government. Meanwhile, the ECER Development Council (ECERDC) is driving development in the ECER by launching several high-impact projects and programmes to promote socioeconomic transformation by increasing private investment in the region. The ultimate goal is to close the socioeconomic gap between East and West Coasts by empowering local communities to benefit from job and entrepreneurial opportunities. One of the ECER projects is the construction of the Palekbang Bridge in Kelantan, which will connect Kota Bharu and Palekbang, Tumpat. The bridge construction is critical in light of two factors: Congestion at the Sultan Yahya Petra Bridge and limited growth in the Kota Bharu city centre. This paper discusses the role of ECERDC as the primary monitoring body for the project, as well as the potential of the Palekbang Bridge to provide physical, economic, and social benefits to citizens. It is hoped that the bridge construction will address congestion and limited growth, stimulate trade activities, improve connectivity, and accessibility. As a result, economic growth across all economic sectors will be boosted in the coming years.

The results of the 2018 General Election in Malaysia show interesting and varied political dynamics based on issues, leadership, campaign strategies, winning and defeat factors, polling patterns, and also location. Hence the purpose of writing this article is to analyze the trend of polling in GE 2018 based on urban and rural areas according to 222 parliamentary constituencies in the country. The writing of this article is produced through the analysis of the GE13 2018 decision-making data for the Parliamentary constituencies as well as the in-depth analysis of secondary information from mainstream media and social media directly involved in the GE 2018. The findings show that almost all urban areas were won by Pakatan Harapan (PH) and some were won by PAS, in urban areas in the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia. The rural areas in the majority of Malays areas are dominated by UMNO/BN and PAS in Kelantan, Terengganu, and also rural parts of Kedah. There are also rural areas won by either BN, PAS, and PH with a slight majority because of the split of the three-party blocks. This is due to the different demographic segments of the voters either by local voters, young voters, outsiders, and even higher educated voters. Hence, the pattern of voting by geographical location in the GE 2018 is very interesting and compositing to be studied and deserves to be taken into account by the concerned parties, especially political parties, governments, and political researchers in order to be a solution to produce rational political thinking and to follow the current trends to care for the well-being of the common people.

<p><em>Politically, Kelantan</em><em> is unique compared to other states in Malaysia. Manifestations of the doctrine of competition between UMNO and PAS occurred in this last fortress of the Malay states (the last bastions of Malayness). Different political doctrines has caused relations between PAS-led Kelantan State Government and Federal Government, the UMNO-led Alliance, is always hot. But the doctrine of competition began to simmer down, upon the occurrence of the May 13, 1969 event, which allows both parties to come up with a government known as the PAS-Alliance Coalition Government (1973-1974) and later to be replaced by the Barisan Nasional (National Front) Government in 1974. PAS position in the National Front only lasted for three and a half years, when a political turmoil brewed up and has caused the party's expulsion. The expulsion of PAS from the National Front has caused the defeat of PAS to lose Kelantan State Legislative Assembly in the 1978 General Election. This provides the opportunity to the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional to rule Kelantan for 12 years and engage itself in extensive political strategies to defend its position from being constantly attacks by the PAS opposition quarters. However, due to some internal and external problems in the UMNO, PAS has won back the administration of the state of Kelantan by winning State Legislative Assembly in the 1990 general election.</em></p>

Full textAbstract:
The application of Islamic rules in Aceh and Kelantan is also related to the political power. There is a significant difference about political treatment on the application of Islamic law in Aceh and Kelantan. In Aceh, the central government (Indonesia) thinks that it is needed to apply jinâyah law in Aceh as a strategy to solve conflicts. This political rule has been applied in the republic of Indonesia since the leadership of Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarno Putri to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The main factor that influences the Indonesian political government rule is the central conflict with the Acehnese in the leadership of Soeharto presidential to the Helsinski Agreement 2005. Some vertical conflicts happened between the central government and the Acehnese were solved by giving special autonomy in applying the Islamic rules. Not only family law and economic law which are given autonomy to be applied in Aceh, but also the autonomy to apply jinâyah Law. In Kelantan, Federal government (Malaysia) did not have political wish to apply Jinayah Law in Kelantan since the leadership of Mahathir Muhammad, Abdullah Badawi to Najib Razak. Moreover the federal government made the issue of the application of jinâyah law as the political commodity to get the political sympathy from the people, who are the partner of non Moslem voters in the national ranks and some Moslem voters who are not affiliated with PAS. This political needs factor is kept by the Federal Government to respond the Kelantan’s government wish to apply Islamic rules.Copyright (c) 2015 by Al-Ihkam.

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurial skills, market orientation, sales orientations and networking on entrepreneurial competency and performance of micro-enterprises in Kelantan, Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach Adopting a cross-sectional design, this paper collected data through structured interviews from 403 micro-entrepreneurs from “Majlis Amanah Rakyat,” Kelantan and “Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat,” Kelantan. Findings The findings reveal that entrepreneurial skills, market orientation and networking have a positive effect on entrepreneurial competency. Then, entrepreneurial competency, entrepreneurial skills and networking have a positive effect on enterprise performance. The findings show a significant mediation effect of entrepreneurial competency on the relationships between entrepreneurial skills, market orientation and networking and enterprise performance. Originality/value Addressing the understudied “human factor” in entrepreneurship, this paper extends the resource-based view and enriches the existing entrepreneurship literature in Malaysia. It provides useful insights into the improvement of micro-enterprise performance, which is crucial for promoting entrepreneurial activities and for enhancing socio-economic conditions among low-income households in Malaysia. Thus, the government and developmental organizations should focus on the development of entrepreneurial skills, market-oriented approach, networking traits and entrepreneurial competencies and subsequently encourage poor households to perform entrepreneurial activities.

Yearly, several landslides ensued during heavy monsoons rainfall in Kelantan river basin, peninsular Malaysia, which are obviously connected to geological structures and topographical features of the region. In this study, the recently launched Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 (PALSAR-2) onboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2), remote sensing data were used to map geological structural and topographical features in the Kelantan river basin for identification of high potential risk and susceptible zones for landslides. Adaptive Local Sigma filter was selected and applied to accomplish speckle reduction and preserving both edges and features in PALSAR-2 fine mode observation images. Different polarization images were integrated to enhance geological structures. Additionally, directional filters were applied to the PALSAR-2 Local Sigma resultant image for edge enhancement and detailed identification of linear features. Several faults, drainage patterns and lithological contact layers were identified at regional scale. In order to assess the results, fieldwork and GPS survey were conducted in the landslide affected zones in the Kelantan river basin. Results demonstrate the most of the landslides were associated with N-S, NNW-SSE and NE-SW trending faults, angulated drainage pattern and metamorphic and Quaternary units. Consequently, structural and topographical geology maps were produced for Kelantan river basin using PALSAR-2 data, which could be broadly applicable for landslide hazard mapping.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid changes in the climatic factors affect paddy farming in Malaysia. As Kelantan is the most vulnerable state to climate variations, its paddy production is negatively affected. Proper mitigation and adaptation approach can reduce paddy farmers’ vulnerability to climate change. Hence, it is important to the paddy farmers to cope with climate change by having the right perception to ensure farmers take the right decisions on dealing with climate change. There are four objectives of this study which include estimating the trend of climate change in Kelantan using Mann-Kendall test, determining paddy farmers’ perceptions towards climate change, measuring paddy farmers’ adaptive capability using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and ascertaining associated factors of the adaptive capacity of paddy farmers using Binary Logistic Regression. Results showed that majority (85.9%) of paddy farmers in Kelantan perceived changes in climate but only 62.9% of paddy farmers were highly adaptive towards climate change. Finally, age, monthly income, and district were found to be significantly associated with paddy farmers’ adaptive capacity towards climate change. Although, most paddy farmers in Kelantan were highly adaptive towards climate change, government and related agencies still need to take some efforts and initiatives to enhance the farmers’ adaptation towards climate change.

Microbusinesses are popular and profitable activities that help economic development and growth. However, most microbusinesses are not sustainable due to borrowers’ main challenges such as limited loan size, insufficient government support, lack of training, and high-interest loan rates. Limited studies have been conducted on the business performance of microcredit borrowers in Kelantan. Therefore, this study investigated the impacts of microcredit elements, namely loan size, management fees, tenure, mode of payment, and help and support toward the microbusiness performance in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. This study employed a quantitative research methodology by distributing a survey questionnaire to 300 borrowers from Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia and Tabung Ekonomi Kumpulan Usaha Niaga in Kota Bharu. Finally, 131 clean datasets were used to run the correlation and regression analyses to identify relationships and significant impacts in the datasets. The results revealed that the mode of payment has the least significant relationship with and did not impact microbusiness performance. Loan size, management fees, and help and support positively and significantly impact microbusiness performance. Conversely, tenure negatively but significantly affects microbusiness performance. All the microcredit elements in this study explained 83.4% of microbusiness performance.

Kota Bharu city in Kelantan, Malaysia was reported with the highest cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among other districts. Kota Bharu is the capital city of Kelantan, which acts as the administrative, commercial, and financial areas. A large population pool may become a potential carrier for disease transmission to become an epidemic. However, the impact of population density on the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia is still unknown and undiscovered. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of population density on COVID-19 as a potential virus transmission carrier using linear regression models. The chances of formulating new strategies for combating COVID-19 are higher when the driver of transmission potential is identified. This study shows that the highest value of infected area density is in Kota Bharu (0.76), while the infected risk area was highest in Jeli (0.33). This study found that there is a strong relationship between COVID-19 infection cases in Kelantan and population density (R2 which is 0.845). Therefore, high population density was identified as a potential driver of transmission of COVID-19 outbreak. Understanding the potential drivers of the disease in a local setting is very important for better preparation and management. The outcome of the study can aid in the development of a new analytical model for strategic planning of Zero COVID-19 for securing the public health and wellness, both social and economic, by researchers, scientists, planners, resource managers, and decision-makers.

AbstractNarathiwat is one of the 77 provinces in Thailand north of Kelantan, Malaysia. A majority of the population are Muslims and retain a similar socio-cultural practices as in Kelantan. At present, a variety of products from Thailand are exported to Malaysia through Kelantan. One of the prerequisites for internationalbusiness is knowledge about international business. This study investigates the level of knowledge among entrepreneurs in Narathiwat on international usiness. Measuring such knowledge does not only reflect the intensity of business across borders at present but also provide an early indicator of such activityupon the implementation of the Asean Economic Community (AEC). In this study, 30 micro and small-size entrepreneurs of various businesses from Narathiwat were surveyed in April, 2014. Using Likert Scale ranging from 1 (no knowledge) to 5 (highly knowledgeable), the findings showed that the entrepreneurs had low knowledge in regulation, financial management, public policy and business opportunity, AEC, enterprise image, international networking and logistics, and distributive trade. These findings are alarming and raise more questions. Therefore, Narathiwat and the Thai government should improve their entrepreneurs’ international knowledge by formulating a public policy to support and foster new knowledge on international business. By so doing, entrepreneurs in Narathiwat will be better prepared as the country embraces AEC.

Kelantan is a state that is often impacted by the yearly monsoonal floods resulting in the displacement of a large number of households as well as damages to crops, livestock and properties. The flood is a yearly occurrence that necessitates the community to prevent loss of lives and extensive property damage; however, previous studies have found that communities are unprepared to face flood disasters, especially in flood-prone areas. Thus this study aims to determine the relationship between attitude towards flood preparedness and the level of flood preparedness of households in Pasir Mas, Kelantan. A total of 220 respondents from 10 villages were selected with the assistance of the District Office to ensure the selection of villages with experience of flood or is flood-prone. Descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the level of attitude and flood preparedness. Results from the analysis found that the attitude and preparedness level was moderate. Therefore, it is suggested that the community’s attitude and preparedness level can be further enhanced with the assistance of the responding agencies and local authorities to empower a more resilient community.

Objective - Malaysia used to practice local government election before it was suspended due to several issues. Following the abolishment, the mode of election has been changed with the appointment of mayors and councillors in each local government level. However, in the past few years, especially after the 12th Malaysian General Election, this issue became debated among the Malaysian, not only the politicians and political parties, but also from non-governmental organisations and the people. Among the main reason why this election has not been able to be practiced in Malaysia is due to the absence of laws to allow this election to be held. Therefore, this paper attempts to discuss about the local government election issue within the context of legal perspective. Methodology/Technique - This study adopted the qualitative approach to provide reliable data and information needed by conducting elite interviews with two constitutional experts and three delegates from Pakatan Rakyat and non-government association representative. Findings - The Pakatan Rakyat (the coalition of opposition parties) especially Democratic Action Party has consistently endeavoured to revive local election in Malaysia. Unfortunately, the idea to restore the power of the third votes is disagreed by the Barisan Nasional (the ruling government). This indirectly means that if the Pakatan Rakyat insists to hold the election, they are facing obstruction from the federal government. However, the question whether the local government election can be reimplemented or not is debatable since both federal and state government claimed to have authority pertaining to the local government matter. This issue was brought to the Federal Court the court has ruled that the states have no jurisdiction to hold the local government election. Novelty - There were few past studies that have been researched about this topic. Furthermore, since the local government election was suspended and discontinued, this topic seems has not been discussed further, thus provide limited information for academic discourse.

Full textAbstract:
Bioeconomic modelling is an important issue in sustainable fisheries management of commercial marine fisheries in Kelantan, Malaysia. Previous studies focus on the impact of trawling on fisheries, tourism and the socio-environment, which overfishing is a direct threat to local fishing communities. In addition, bottom trawl fishing may affect fishing, environment and socio-economic management objectives. Moreover, fishing activities lead to changes in the structure of marine habitats and affect the diversity, composition, biomass and productivity of related biota. Finally, the previous research discussed on challenges of the fisheries industry in peninsular Malaysia. Studies focused on bioeconomic modelling in sustainable management of commercial marine fisheries in terms of fishing gear, climate changes, and anthropogenic disturbances are still limited. This study aims to investigate the sustainability of marine fish production and analyse the potential effect of climate changes and anthropogenic disturbances that affect fisheries activities. The theory and practice of the bioeconomic surplus production model by Gordon - Schafer (GS) are used to calculate the total biology and economic value. The result of the study indicated that trawl nets, anchovy purse seinses, climate changes and anthropogenic disturbances affect the sustainable management of commercial marine fisheries in Kelantan, Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
Smoked clam (etak salai) is a popular traditional food and part of the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of Kelantan state. The main objective of this study is to seek a path for its safeguarding. For this purpose, the sustainability of etak salai will be examined from economic and ecological viewpoints. Some Kelantanese fishing households inherit knowledge with regard to the harvesting and processing of etak (clams), and run micro-enterprises as vendors. Increasing the profitability of these micro-enterprises is a crucial factor for safeguarding etak salai. Through quantitative analysis based on Hayashi’s quantification theory type 2, this study determines that the profitability of these micro-enterprises chiefly depends on the initial investment amount. It also finds that inheritance of micro-enterprises without enhancement of profitability results in the reproduction of low-income households. Ecological factors also determine the sustainability of etak salai. The study reveals that deterioration of the local ecosystem has triggered continuous transition of the mode of production of etak salai. Commercial production of etak salai began only after the majority of community members moved away from the rivers. After severe degradation of local rivers, harvesters expanded the geographic scope of their activity to other states of Peninsular Malaysia. Currently, Thailand and Cambodia account for a majority of the supplies. These transformations have decreased the number of households that are able to transmit knowledge regarding the harvesting and processing of etak. This is a grave concern in terms of safeguarding ICH. Thus, the study concludes that injecting capital to vendors and restoring the local ecosystem could be useful measures for safeguarding ICH.

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common occupational health problems affecting the working adult population. The study aimed to identify the ergonomic factors associated with LBP among ambulance workers in emergency departments. This cross-sectional study of 143 ambulance workers was conducted in 10 government hospitals. An English version of the questionnaire, including a Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and an LBP Risk Factor Questionnaire, was distributed to each respondent. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the results. The overall response rate was 85%. The majority of respondents who experienced LBP were aged 30 to 39 years (48.4%), male (69.9%), and of Malay ethnicity (98.5%). Handling difficult-to-grip objects (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02, 0.55; p-value: 0.007) and carrying heavy loads (adjusted OR: 17.44; 95% CI: 2.00, 151.69; p-value: 0.010) were associated with the occurrence of LBP among ambulance workers. The results highlighted the potential risks for ambulance workers in terms of carrying difficult-to-grasp and heavy loads. Hence, preventive measures, such as an ergonomic awareness programme, should be undertaken to increase awareness of proper ergonomic techniques in order to reduce the risk of LBP among ambulance workers.

Abstract. Land use land cover change (LULC) is a dynamic process, which is largely influenced by anthropogenic effect. In less urbanized area, human activities such as agricultural expansion, timber extraction and infrastructure development, has caused LULC transformation at alarming rate. Understanding of the potential future LULC changes is necessary for town planners and local authorities to formulate and design town planning. Besides that, the projected LULC patterns could also be incorporated into other models to further evaluate the impact of LULC changes on environment, agricultural, ecosystem, water resources and health. This study projected a future LULC scenario of Kelantan, Malaysia, using an integrated GIS CA-Markov model. The model achieved an accuracy of 78.57% when compared with the LULC map of 2008. Built-up area has increased by 111 km2, while forest area has decreased 1532 km2 in the past 15 years. Results showed that the built-up area, oil palm, and rubber plantation are expected to increase to 181.69 km2, 2142.48 km2, and 3076.24 km2, respectively, in 2025. By contrast, forest and paddy area are projected to decrease to 8548.20 km2, and 693.44 km2 respectively. Urban expansion is mainly found in the northern part of the state, while oil palm expansion in the southern part of the state. It was predicted that this pattern will continue in the next thirty years where built-up and agriculture area continued to expand at the stake of forest area. The findings provide useful information for planners in planning for future development and safeguarding the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Corbicula fluminea serves as traditional food to the local people in Kelantan, Malaysia. Concerns regarding river contamination, smoking method, and associated adverse effects on public health had been increasing. Hence, this study aims to measure the level of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn) and assess human health risk in C. fluminea consumption at Kelantan. Heavy-metal analysis was done using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry, while human health risk was assessed using provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and hazard index (HI). The estimated weekly intake (EWI) for all metals was found within PTWI, while THQ for Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn was 0.12, 0.06, 0.04, 0.41, and 0.03, respectively. The HI was calculated at 0.61 which is less than 1, considered as the safe consumption level. Therefore, C. fluminea consumption in this study was found safe from the health risk of noncarcinogenic effect over a lifetime.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Malaysia witnessed the rise of Islamic education more than a century ago, partly evidenced by the establishment of traditional Islamic education institutions called pondok or madrasah. Starting in the nineteenth century, Islamic pondok schools spread in Malaysia, founded by ‘ulama (Islamic scholars) who gained financial support from the community. As time went by, many pondok, previously supported by civil society, began to face financial difficulties because of the changing political landscape, economic situation, the death of their founders, and changes in government policy. This paper investigates the experiences of two madrasahs in the state of Kelantan in Malaysia and the strategies they have adopted to resolve their financial issues. This paper argues decisions and strategies regarding financing were influenced by several factors, including the degree of attachment felt by the current asatidz (teachers) to the history of their pondok, their desire to preserve the legacy of the madrasah founder, and the level of economic pressure they experienced. The primary choice was between relinquishing ownership to the state by becoming a state (funded) school or remaining a self-governed school with limited access to state funds. </p>

The objective of this paper is to assess the level of efficiency of local government in Malaysia. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA), the research provides evidence on the efficiency of Malaysian local governments in terms of technical (TE), pure (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE). Secondary data obtained from financial statements of 35 local governments over a period of seven years are used. DEA is performed using three inputs (tax revenues, fees and charges, subsidies from central government) and four outputs (net book value of land and buildings, net book value of motor vehicles, net book value of equipment and fittings, cost of goods and services). The results show that most Malaysian local governments recorded high technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE) with above 0.90 mean scores.

Full textAbstract:
In 2020, the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) had a global impact on normal daily life. The Government of Malaysia officially declared the Movement Control Order (MCO), an official national lockdown, to reduce the virus’s spread. In the face of the unprecedented global health pandemic, Malaysia had struggled to protect its citizens’ welfare and livelihoods, particularly in the hardest-hit rural areas. Therefore, this study uses the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) focusing on the aspect of financial assets and government intervention to enhance understanding on the vulnerability in rural area’s livelihood. Pasir Puteh, Kelantan was identified as the rural area for this study. The analysis was performed on a questionnaire survey based on convenience sampling of 62 respondents. Cross table analysis and a correlation test were used to examine the livelihood of the rural area concerning the financial assets, government intervention and vulnerability. The findings indicated that the MCO had a substantial impact on the rural area regarding the vulnerability toward the financial assets, such as employment status, job loss, increasing living costs, and an insufficient response to rural economic challenges. At the same time, there is no substantial government intervention in the welfare of rural areas. According to the results, the study concluded that the government should set up training courses to assist in the long-term recovery of rural areas due to the enforced lockdown, which has adversely affected rural livelihoods.

Although the number of pornography exposure is increasing, our understandings on the issues are still lacking. This study aimed to compare gender differences in the attitudes towards pornography among youth in Kelantan. A cross sectional study was conducted using a validated self-administered questionnaire (PORQUE) on 930 college students in both government and private colleges in Kelantan. The mean scores were significantly higher among females for majority of the items assessing non-permissive feelings toward pornography materials (p<0.001), perception on impact of pornography (p<0.05) and perception on factors contributed to pornography (p<0.05). The mean score for majority of the items assessing permissive and perceptions toward pornography materials were significantly higher among males(p<0.001). Females were more non-permissive towards pornography, better perceived the impact of pornography and factors contributed to pornography compared to males.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Climate change has had a significant impact on the hydrological cycle, causing changes in precipitation patterns in both frequency and magnitude. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of climate change on flood hazards in Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia. A distributed hydrological model called Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) simulates floods under current and future climate scenarios. The Climate Change Factor (CCF) is a tool for forecasting future climate scenarios. The storm used in this analysis had 50-year and 100-year recurrence intervals every 24 hours (ARI). The finding shows that the streamflow in Guillemard station will increase in the future for both the 50- and 100-year ARI. The streamflow increased to 10329 m3/s from 8434.9 m3/s in the current state and to 11220.2 m3/s from 9157.4 m3/s in the 50- and 100-year ARI, respectively. In both cases, the 100-year ARI flood magnitude is significantly less than the 50-year ARI flood extent (current and future). However, the flood depth in several towns located downstream of the Kelantan River Basin is more significant for the 100-year ARI than for the 50-year ARI for both cases. The study’s findings would be helpful to relevant agencies and government departments understand the current and potential flood hazard situation in the study area and assist them in developing effective mitigation strategies for future flood hazards.

Full textAbstract:
Kelantan state, regarded as the cradle of Malay culture is not only known for her unique cultural heritage, but also a land blessed with both metallic and non-metallic minerals. These include enormous clay deposits discovered in six (6) districts with estimated total reserve of 29.4 million tonnes of ball clay and 51.5 million tonnes of mottled clay. Hence, this paper investigates the physiochemical and mineralogical properties of the clay deposits. This was achieved by reviewing existing literatures and reports at the Mineral and Geoscience Department, Malaysia. The properties investigated were green and fired clay colour, plasticity, green strength, dry and fired shrinkage, porosity, chemical and mineral composition. The properties of the clay revealed that they have geographical IP potential; particularly, the predominantly off-white fired colour of the ball clay at temperature range of 900-11000C can secure an identity for Kelantan ceramics in the local, national or international market. Based on these properties, the ball clay is applicable for table ware, earthenware and local tile production while the mottled clay has a potential use for vitrified clay pipe, local tile and brick production.
