▼ This study analyzes the existence and political history of Kumpulan Militan Malaysia (Malaysia Militant Group-KMM); the most spectacular Muslim militant group to recently emerge from Malaysia. Using an interpretive framework derived from typology of radicalism, this study exposes the roots of the group and its transformation into a militant movement. Based on extensive fieldwork, numerous interviews and in-depth research of related documents, this study demonstrates that the existence of KMM cannot be dissociated from Afghanistan’s global Jihadist campaign. This study analyzes the activities of KMM in the context of radical Islam in the South East Asia region and its wider connection, particularly with the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). Findings from fieldwork research conducted with active and ex-members of KMM and JI are presented to find the answer to the question pertaining the involvement of these two groups in terrorism activities in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian contemporary social and political scenarios have been build-up from a long history of rebellious freedom fighters against colonial super-powers. In addition to nationalism, Islamization has also played a significant role in establishing freedom movements in the 1940s and 1950s. Systematic pressure under colonial powers and harsh policies implemented by ultra nationalists to these groups resulted in a series of rebellions and defiance such as what happened in Indonesia, Southern Thailand and the Southern Philippines. Historical facts led to radicalism in these countries, which are important for gaining a better knowledge about Muslim radicalism in Southeast Asia also presented in this thesis. The ‘typology of radicalism’ - the transformation from ‘nominal believers’ to activists, extremists, radicals and terrorists is explained in this research. Understanding Islam and their willingness to perform Jihad as was carried out in Afghanistan has had a significant impact on today’s militants. Finally, this research suggests the best methods for overcoming radicalism and diffusing KMM and JI’s threat in Southeast Asia. Advisors/Committee Members: Veitch, James, Hawk, Gary.

▼ There is a legal separation in Jordan between Sharia' (Islamic) Law and Civil Law. Both types of law come together to create criminal law that has a negative effect on women's rights. Laws in Jordan are evolving in the right direction but are not going far enough to protect women from violence. This study explores the issues of violence against women in Jordan through a study the Jordanian legal system and the experience of women who suffer violence. The working of the Jordanian justice system is presented by analysing the responses of state and non-state institutions dealing with violence against women. Included in the research is an analysis of feminist concerns with the law and the position of women in society. My concern is with the way in which women's inferior position impacts on their experience of violence and their ability to obtain redress and access protection. The methods used to complete this study included qualitative data collections such as field observations, and semi-structured participant interviews. It also extended to archival work in which I studied official reports and public policies on VAW. My study attempts to explain the structure of gender relations and women's experiences of violence in the context of Jordanian society by using feminist theory. The empirical work conducted in Jordan considered the effectiveness of law in serving victims. Further analysis considers how the Jordanian socio-economic and legal environment influences women's decisions on whether to seek help. The research found that there is a need to introduce better-developed law accompanied by additional policy measures to affect an essential change in attitudes. This requires changing some laws and policy programmes to increase awareness of legal rights. Additionally, I will suggest that applying Islamic law to women's rights can also give women more freedom and provide them with additional opportunities to access protection. The research identified a need for coherence between Civil and Sharia' (Islamic) Law in developing civil and criminal remedies which would align Jordan's domestic law to its international obligations.

▼ This thesis investigates the existing film workflow processes in Malaysia and aims to explore, review and reflect on the expectations, experiences and preferences and problems experienced by practitioners in the Malaysian film industry. Part of that exploration is an in-depth examination of real practices of colour film workflow, investigating the common myth amongst Malaysian filmmakers that environmental colour temperature affects the image quality of Malaysian films. Analysis of this myth may help to establish why many Malaysian films have been processed through foreign laboratory facilities using foreign expertise. The argument and analysis are based on background analysis and interviewing using video documentation of Malaysian film workflow practices, which provides valuable data for the benefit of the Malaysian film industry. All the processes and evidence from the Malaysian film industry were recorded through qualitative video documentation, alongside quantitative data from filmstrip testing. This mixed action research method forms the main approach together with the use of participatory action research as a tool to narrate the development of the research. In justifying the use of all the data, an explanatory mixed method design has been applied. Indeed, the cooperation with expert witnesses in finding a solution to the research problem brought to the circle of practice-based research processes that validated the research. This validation becoming a central of investigation about the Malaysian film workflow complication. The initial technique (pursing the myth of colour temperature variation) proved inadequate, and, consequently, a broader action research methodology was adopted. As such, the filmstrip test data were used more as a tool to enhance the contributions of the expert witnesses, thereby shifting the direction and strengthening the research findings. It is hoped that the methods used could be transferred to solve other film industry problems This research also proves that the method applied has created new evidence of knowledge transfer in historical and film development context, which benefits the film industry in Malaysia. This development of new knowledge could provide a significant opportunity for future potential research, which will strengthen the colour workflow processes and lead to the development of film practices in Malaysia and the surrounding areas. It is the aim of this research to suggest solutions to the current problems of workflow practices among educators, government agencies and filmmakers in the Malaysian film industry.

▼ Malaysia is a recently emerging economy with a mission of becoming a progressive and high-income nation, vision 2020. Over the past three decades, Malaysia has experienced rapid economic growth, accompanied by rapid urbanization. Until recently, oil and natural gas has dominated the country’s energy demand and supply but now there is some concern with regard to future energy security. In addition, however, as the world is starting to shift to alternative and non CO2 emitting energy resources, Malaysia, which has abundant renewable energy resources, is also committed to the use of green energy as a driver to accelerate the national economy and promote sustainable development. This study explores the viability of large scale introduction of solar PV systems for both grid-connected and stand-alone hybrid systems in Malaysia. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the study has investigated the phenomenon of solar PV deployment from the view of the stakeholders and end users. In addition, triangulation has been used for validation of the results by obtaining information from policymakers in government, government-affiliated organisations, Non-Government Organisation (NGOs) and solar PV service providers. This study has revealed that solar PV has the ability to continue develop in Malaysia, as it has shown promise in terms of a positive development, improving local and global environment in terms of application of systems used which minimises and reduces the negative impact of human activities on the environment, also enhancing energy security for future generations. Overall, from this study it can be concluded that based on the current status of global solar PV market that is growing rapidly be able to provide a great opportunity for the large-scale introduction of both grid connected and stand-alone hybrid solar PV systems in Malaysia. It is hoped that this thesis will not only contribute to the understanding of the barriers that might limit the possibility of solar PV to continue develop in Malaysia, but it will also assist decision makers in government and industry to expand the use of solar PV systems in that country.

▼ This thesis examines three main ideas that focus on takaful and microtakaful demand in Malaysia using a mixed methods approach. Takaful is Shariah-compliant insurance that is based on a mechanism of shared responsibility, cooperation and mutual assistance. The importance of takaful and microtakaful in transferring risk across related parties in the event of loss attracts research in this area as there is a lack of empirical evidence in developing countries, specifically in the Malaysia context. The first essay investigates why the demand for microtakaful is low in Malaysia using a qualitative study. Microtakaful is a distinctive form of micro-insurance that is geared and customized towards meeting the needs and circumstances of low-income populations who require protection from unforeseen financial misfortunes and difficulties. Findings suggest an interactive model: that low demand in microtakaful schemes is influenced by three interconnected issues: affordability, customer awareness and perception, as well as past shock experience. In addition, this study identifies important elements regarding the takaful basis risk issue and customer complaints issue as a result of clients' past experience. The model highlights the interplay between these three issues and challenges existing research that focuses solely on conceptual research on microtakaful demand among low-income households in Malaysia. The first empirical chapter exhibits the factors determining the demand for takaful and microtakaful that are related to financial protection among households, to understand the demand for takaful and microtakaful. Probit regression is used to examine why some people participate in takaful and some do not; this is done through a questionnaire survey. Additionally, this study examines the impact of risk-coping mechanisms on respondents and shock experience on takaful and microtakaful demand. The findings reveal variables that are statistically significant for takaful and microtakaful demand but have a positive or negative impact on explaining why some people join takaful and some do not. The next empirical chapter investigates trust in takaful. Building trust plays a central role in the financial services system. This third essay examines the influence of socio-demographics, socio-economics, risk coping mechanisms, financial inclusion and social capital on trust in takaful using a household survey of 526 respondents. The findings show that gender, marital status, income and employment have a negative significant impact on trust in takaful. Interestingly, ROSCA plays an important role in increasing or decreasing trust in takaful. Therefore, this empirical chapter provides a new understanding of why some people trust and some people doubt takaful. This new understanding should help to improve predictions of the demand for takaful in Malaysia by exploring trust in takaful.

An assessment of compliance levels and disclosure quality – 6. An assessment of the use of discount rates in IFRS goodwill impairment testing – 7.

Prior to the adoption in 2006 of an International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS)-based reporting framework in Malaysia, no binding standard governing goodwill had ever been implemented. The highly prescriptive and technical provisions of Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 136 - Impairment of Assets (FRS 136) therefore represent a very substantial variation from past practice. This in turn gives rise to questions about how Malaysian companies and their auditors have fared during the process of transition to a complex new reporting regime and in consequence to the quality and consistency of reports produced pursuant to that new regime. Thus, this dissertation focuses specifically on compliance levels and disclosure quality relating to the highly detailed requirements set out in FRS 136. Using a two-tiered comparative/evaluative method, this thesis finds that 50% of the companies producing financial reports have failed to meet the mark for the new Standard. – The research also examines the discount rate used in IFRS goodwill impairment testing. Discount rate selection represents a centrally material factor impacting valuation models owing to the strong reliance on discounted cash flow modelling as a basis for determining an asset's recoverable amount in the impairment testing process. The discount rates disclosed by large Malaysian companies are compared with independently generated discount rates and analysed using the Capital Assets Pricing Model and goodwill intensity. Evidence consistent with opportunism on the part of financial statement preparers was found. – The application of FRS 136 was mandatory for all companies included in the research sample and subject to audit by the Big 4 (the Big 4) auditors. Yet the majority of companies failed to comply with even the basic requirements of the new goodwill Standard. This raised a question regarding the quality of audits provided by the Big 4. Hence, I examined the degree of technical compliance with the disclosure requirements of FRS 136 by a sample of large Malaysian listed companies used as a proxy for audit quality. This research employed six analytical structures to distinguish audit quality among the Big 4 in an attempt to question the homogeneity of audit quality assumption. No credible evidence was found in the dataset of meaningful variation in compliance levels or disclosure quality among the clients of the Big 4. Furthermore, there was a systemic failure on the part of Malaysian clients of the Big 4 to comply with even most basic elements of the FRS 136 disclosure framework in relation to goodwill impairment testing.

▼ This thesis focuses on compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements in Malaysia. There are four objectives that this study attempts to achieve, namely: (1) to ascertain whether present regulatory enforcement is effective in curbing non-compliance with IFRS in Malaysia; (2) to determine whether corporate ownership structure, culture and corporate governance attributes have a significant influence on the extent of compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements; (3) to identify the factors of (non-) compliance with IFRS from the perceptions of preparers and auditors; and (4) to explore the reasons why an unqualified audit report was issued despite non-compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements. This study employs a mixed methods approach to achieve the stated objectives, where annual reports of 225 Malaysian listed companies are examined and interviews with regulators, preparers and auditors are conducted. The following findings are documented in this study. Although compliance with accounting standards is mandated by law, this study demonstrates that no Malaysian company has fully complied with IFRS disclosure requirements. Similarly, the companies examined still receive unqualified audit reports despite significant non-compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements. This study argues that merely mandating compliance with accounting standards by law does not result in full compliance with accounting standards if sufficient or stringent enforcement is not in place. The Malaysian economy is dominated by family-owned companies and government-owned companies; however, this study finds that there was not enough evidence to support the influence of these ownership types on the extent of compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements. Despite the importance of corporate governance mechanisms in enhancing financial reporting quality, this study finds that only board meeting, audit committee size and audit committee expertise are significantly associated with the extent of compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements. However, the association direction for audit committee expertise is puzzling, because the negative coefficient suggests that mandatory disclosure decreases with the presence of audit committee experts. This study also provides evidence that culture (ethnicity) has a significant influence on the extent of compliance with IFRS disclosure requirements. This study also contributes to the extant literature by documenting the factors of (non-) compliance with IFRS from the perceptions of preparers and auditors. These factors are the attitude of top management, problems with accounting standards, lack of enforcement, passive investors, materiality, accountants’ attitude, undeveloped capital markets and political excuse. These (non-)compliance factors in fact cannot be revealed by statistical analysis. This study finds that materiality and true and fair view are the two reasons suggested by interviewees that can explain why unqualified audit opinion was expressed despite non-compliance with IFRS. Nevertheless, this…

▼ The fundamental aim of this study was to determine how Malaysians define both leisure and recreation. Two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malays, and rural and urban variants of these groups were included in the sample. The other objective was to determine if there were differences in the definitions due to differences in ethnic backgrounds and place of residence. Qualitative, in-depth interviews, participant observation and the pile sort technique were the methods used to study the subjective leisure experiences of informants. Coding and categorization of the data resulted in the formulation of a conceptual framework and several general themes. Informants did not explicitly differentiate between the concepts, leisure and recreation, and nearly all of them were more familiar with the broader term, leisure.' Their understanding of these concepts was similar to professional adopted definitions of the terms. However, the conceptual framework demonstrated perceptions of leisure as more than dimensions of time and activity consisting of other salient variables such as motives, constraints, life stage, past experiences, affective and beneficial outcomes which combined to define the subjective leisure experience. Several emergent themes showed that there were only slight or no differences in the informants' perceptions of leisure due to differences in ethnic backgrounds. Themes on structural constraints, the social nature of leisure, preferences for natural recreation areas, and hedonic and beneficial outcomes of leisure pursuits demonstrated that informants shared similar perceptions of leisure in terms of motives, constraints and perceived affective outcomes. The theme on celebration of cultural festivals revealed several differences due to cultural differences in functions and content of the festivals. While both rural and urban informants frequently participated in mass leisure activities, both groups also differed in their participation in at least two types of activities. Rural informants were found to be more active in extractive recreation and community-based social activities. These differences were attributed to accessibility of natural resources, the lack of other recreation opportunities, structural constraints, and the perceived community benefits derived from community gatherings respectively. Implications for research and leisure and recreation planning are discussed in light of the themes generated. Advisors/Committee Members: Brown, Perry J.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

This thesis seeks to examine the structural factors that influence the development of tourism at the national level, with a focus on Malaysia. Tourism in Malaysia emerged later than in its neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. This is because the primary source of foreign-exchange earnings before 1985 came from commodities and the manufacturing industry. Only after a severe economic recession did Malaysia consider the tourism industry as an alternative to broaden the country’s economic base. Ever since, with an efficient marketing and planning strategy, Malaysia has become the most visited country in Southeast Asia after Thailand. In gross national product (GNP), tourism ranked second after manufacturing, contributing approximately 34 per cent of the total GNP of Malaysia in 2005. To understand the factors that influence tourism development in Malaysia, this study has chosen a qualitative method because it involves answering questions pertaining to ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’, which can provide a wealth of profound and detailed information on the issues being investigated. As the qualitative method is the root for the interpretive paradigm, this study has chosen bibliographic research as its research method, as the information gathered for this study is from published material and data were analysed using content analysis/NVivo 8.0. The findings from this study indicate that Malaysia’s planning in the tourism industry appears to exhibit characteristics consistent with the stages of Butler’s Tourism Life-cycle Model in that Malaysia has undergone the stages of exploration, involvement and development. This study discovered that Malaysia’s strength has been in its four marketing areas (product, price, promotions and distribution channel). However, the last marketing areas, planning and implementation, were not receiving full cooperation from some of the stakeholders, rendering the long-term marketing objectives unachievable. This indicated that competitive advantages may arise, but if resources are imitable, competitive advantage is not sustainable. The marketing strategies that have been employed by Tourism Malaysia for short-term and long-term objectives indicate that Malaysia has constantly considered its core resources (e.g. nature and culture), created resources and supported resources (e.g. accessibility, quality of service and market ties) and capabilities that are capable of attracting visitors in a consistent manner (see Table 3.7). This study contributes to the theory of tourism in Malays and provides practical perspectives. From the theory perspective, this study validates the importance of integrating a resource-based view (RBV) and Butler‘s development theory in underpinning the country’s degree of competitive ability in tourism. These theories can be used as a guideline for other countries in their tourism planning, assisting them to use their resources efficiently. This study also reveals that Malaysia possesses individual…

Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

The fragmented nature of the construction industry leads to poor sharing of knowledge between the designers and constructors of projects. Most construction problems arise because of deficiencies in the design. More often than not, these problems are left to the constructors to solve at the site. However, the knowledge gained by the constructors in solving these problems is unlikely to be shared with the designers in such a way that the same design deficiencies will be avoided in future projects. Effective knowledge sharing contributes towards improving the designer construction knowledge. There are a number of design-construction interfaces in construction projects, during which information exchange and knowledge sharing could take place between designers and contractors. This information exchange and knowledge sharing will help to overcome the design deficiencies as well as problems during construction attributed to these deficiencies. Construction project and organizational knowledge that are crucial to the designers and Knowledge Management tools for locating and sharing project knowledge are identified. This research used responses from forty-two (42) respondents to test the relationships between the application of knowledge sharing tools and the improvement of designer construction knowledge, with respect to the crucial construction project and organizational knowledge areas identified in the Malaysian construction industry. At the same time, the frequencies with which the sharing of construction knowledge between designers and constructors occurs through the various approaches were compared. The results of the analysis confirmed positive relationships between the application of all the knowledge-sharing approaches (except brainstorming) and the designer construction knowledge. The positive relationships between the variables for the non-IT knowledge sharing tools support the findings of studies carried out by earlier researchers which suggest that in the construction industry, knowledge sharing and learning depend heavily on the informal social processes and practices that lean towards a community approach. However, whilst respondents in this study perceive that there is a positive relationship between applying the IT based knowledge sharing tools and the improvement of designer construction knowledge, studies by various other researchers indicate otherwise, in which it was concluded that the ICT-based approach to sharing of project knowledge has not been very effective. The rankings for the choice of knowledge sharing tools indicate a similar pattern as those arrived at in a UK study except for research collaboration.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to shed light on possible reasons for the stagnation in the participation rate of women in the Malaysian workforce by focusing on the phenomenon of flexible working arrangements. This is researched in the context of the possibility of flexible working arrangements helping women achieve work-life balance and how such work affects their well-being. Using a mixed method approach, the study addresses three main questions:- are Malaysian women interested in flexible working arrangements? would flexible working arrangements be useful in bringing more women into the labour force? and what impacts do flexible working arrangements have on their well-being? The study was conducted in the Klang Valley, which has a total population of over seven million people and is the heartland of Malaysia's industry and commerce. It employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. For the quantitative approach, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to women employees working in seven organisations which have flexible working arrangements and seven organisations with fixed working arrangements. A random sample of 415 female employees from 14 selected organisations in the services sector were identified. To complement the statistical data, 30 women were interviewed. Findings from the logistic regression analysis revealed that flexible working arrangements at the workplace are preferred by women who are more educated, earning a higher income and are at the higher end of the occupational status. It further revealed that flexible working arrangements will encourage more women to work in paid labour since they have a better work-life balance and more empowerment. The information gathered from the qualitative interviews concerned women’s wellbeing in terms of work-life balance, empowerment and lifestyles. While most of the women experienced work-life balance barriers, some common threads and themes revealed that flexible working arrangements will be a good option towards achieving work-life balance and had a positive effect on women’s well-being in terms of work-life balance and household empowerment. The qualitative interviews showed that workplace flexibility can improve the working women’s work-life balance, especially among married women with young children and hence, encourage women to participate in paid labour. In adopting a combination of theoretical approaches, it is argued that there is a greater tendency for Malaysian married women to exit the labour force after having children compared to most other countries and this is primarily due to their caring responsibilities, lack of an enabling environment and the cultural and social factors particular to Malaysia. The study found that flexible working arrangements are very varied in type and cannot be treated as a single, comprehensive package which might be suitable for all women. Further, the implementation of flexible working arrangements at the workplace would not be alone sufficient to bring in more women into the labour force.

▼ Counselling is particularly challenging in the context of potential harm through suicide. This is a time when it is clear that responsibilities for and influences on practice go beyond the client in the room. Socio-cultural and political influences range across the legislative, medical, religious, cultural, institutional and educational considerations that counsellors must give attention to. In complex and challenging situations counsellors must negotiate roles and responsibilities, make difficult clinical judgements and ethical decisions, and take responsible actions. The ethical principle of ‘do no harm’ becomes complex and may not be universally understood and agreed upon. Decisions are not simple and straightforward, and care must be delicately considered for each individual in his or her specific context. Manualised approaches to suicide prevention may not always be sufficient in the face of practice complexities. In this study, I examine the shaping effects of socio-cultural and political aspects on counselling practice in Malaysia in the context of suicidal ideation. I particularly emphasise how counsellors are positioned when these aspects intersect with the counselling process; how counsellors respond to, resist and change their positioning in order to minimise the risk of harm, and enhance life-affirming possibilities. Data were generated in semi-structured interviews with counsellors in Malaysia. Analysis of data included a focus on the investigation of discourses-in-action to bring forward a range of discourses that positioned counsellors, clients and their families in a conflicting or collaborating relationship, and thus defined client resistance differently. A discursive analysis of data illustrated that within the tensions between ethical choice of respecting clients’ right to autonomy and protecting client safety, counsellors found ways to engage in practice wisdom and work to co-construct with clients a relational, flexible, care-ful, creative, ethical responsive dialogic practice. The analysis shows how counsellors skilfully and delicately wove counselling, cultural/religious and personal knowledge together to produce practices tailored to the particularity of a specific client, while taking account of serious considerations for client safety. I argue that these practices should be understood through the imaginative possibilities of philosophy, showing how a Levinasian understanding of the Face of the Other, and a Derridean understanding of hospitality, highlight the highly developed relational-dialogic-responsive skill critical to counselling practice alongside clients where there is risk of serious self-harm.

▼ This study aims to contribute to an understanding of politically connected audit committees on audit fees and the audit process in an emerging market, using the case of Malaysia. Malaysia offers an interesting and important setting as Malaysian companies are highly concentrated and politically sensitive. In particular, the study seeks to: (i) examine the level of political connections represented in the audit committees associated with the level of audit fees incurred by Malaysian public listed companies; and (ii) examine whether politically connected audit committees have an impact on the audit process. Currently, there is scant evidence on the influence of politically connected audit committees on audit fees and the audit process. The study draws upon agency and resource dependence theories, which suggest that politically connected audit committees serve two important functions: monitoring on behalf of the shareholders, and providing resources to the companies. For the purpose of this study, a mixed method approach (archival data analysis and interviews) has been adopted. Four hypotheses are tested: (1) There is a positive relationship between the proportion of audit committee members who are senior government officers (SGO) and audit fees; (2) There is a positive relationship between the proportions of audit committee members who are politicians and audit fees; (3) There is a positive relationship between the percentage of government shares and audit fees; and (4) There is a positive relationship between audit committee characteristics (independence, size, meeting and financial expertise) and audit fees. In addition, the knowledge obtained from the interviews with Big 4 auditors and members of audit committees from the selected companies provide further insights on the influence of political connections on the audit process. The results of the study indicate that politically connected audit committees (identified by members who are either senior government officers or politicians) have a significant association with the incidence of higher audit fees. This suggests that politically connected audit committees are able to capitalise on their connections to influence companies and create direct demand for the auditors to increase their audit effort, as measured by audit fees. Contrary to expectations, this study did not find a significant relationship between government shares and audit fees. This result may be explained by the fact that government shares are managed by a variety of institutions on behalf of the government, and differences in the objectives and characteristics of the institutions that administer the shares can weaken the demand for higher efforts from auditors. An in-depth analysis of the interviews further reveals that political connections do affect the audit process. It appears that the existence of political connections leads to an increase in audit work such in a variety of ways, such as auditor-client negotiations, private meetings with audit committees and re-engineering the scope and planning… Advisors/Committee Members: ZAMAN, MAHBUB M, Siddiqui, Javed, Zaman, Mahbub.

▼ There have been the recent calls for additional research in order to enhance the understanding of the adoption of management accounting practices (MAPs) in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This, allied to an increasing importance of SMEs around the world especially in developing countries, is the motivation for this research. This research explores the uptake of a broad range of MAPs in Malaysian SMEs; identifies the roles of MAPs in the management of SMEs; determines factors that affect the extent of use of MAPs in SMEs and lastly examines the relationship between the use of MAPs and organizational performance of SMEs. A postal questionnaire was conducted to 1,000 Malaysian SMEs in manufacturing sector which elicited 160 useable responses. The results show that the majority of respondents have used the five management accounting areas identified. Use of the costing system, budgeting system and performance evaluation system are significantly higher than for the decision support system and strategic management accounting, which indicates that the uptake of traditional MAPs is greater than for sophisticated MAPs. The results indicate that medium sized firms make greater use of all MAPs as opposed to small sized enterprises. The most significant differences relate to the use of decision support system and strategic management accounting. The increased uptake of sophisticated MAPs by larger firms is in line with size being a contingent variable explaining the use of such practices. The results also suggest that MAPs were perceived as playing very important roles in the management of Malaysian SMEs. Performance evaluation and controlling activities were the major roles of MAPs in the management of SMEs. Overall the study suggests that MAPs are perceived by SMEs as relevant and useful in their management processes. Further, the study found that four out of five contingent factors; size of the firm, intensity of market competition; participation of the owner/manager in the development of MAPs in firm and advanced manufacturing technology have a positive and statistically significant relationship with the use of certain MAPs. The research however found weak support for the positive relationship between the use of MAPs and organizational performance of SMEs. This study enriches the existing body of knowledge of management accounting by providing information as to the use of MAPs in SMEs in Malaysia. The findings can be specifically informative for policy makers intent on developing management accounting skills among Malaysian SMEs. This research will provide valuable insights into the nature of MAPs in SMEs in a developing country and will promote interest among Malaysian researchers as well as researchers of other countries to make the SME sector a focus of interest in management accounting research.

▼ This thesis is concerned with the impact of mobile learning (mLearning) on the study of local culture at Malaysian universities. For convenience, the term Local Cultural Studies (LCS) is given to Humanities subjects related to the teaching and learning of Malay culture, for example: Local History, Local Culture and National Heritage, Malay Wood Craft, Malay Drum, Cooking, Batik Textile, Ceramic, and Local Drama. These subjects are not as popular as Science and Engineering and are often referred to as ‘dying traditional knowledge’ with an uncertain future. They have a lesser degree of significance in modern Malaysian society in achieving a ‘developed country’ status. One motivation for introducing mLearning into LCS subjects is to make them more interesting: the learning activities and the subjects should appear more modern by linking them to the latest technology. The fact that all students own mobile phones in Malaysian universities creates an opportunity to use mLearning for the benefit of LCS. In addition, mLearning could be used to create student-generated content to add richer multimedia learning resources as one of the major challenges for LCS is the limited availability of resources. An exploratory preliminary study with managers and content developers within mobile application companies confirmed there were limited local mobile content and little incentive to develop more. A major focus of this thesis was to investigate two approaches to overcoming this problem: (1) the development of culturally appropriate interface design guidelines that could be used to assist developers and academics in the production of local content; and (2) involving students in creating local content in student-generated mLearning activities. This largely qualitative study focused on gaining an understanding of mLearning’s contributions to the study of local culture from the perspective of academics and students at predominantly Malaysian public universities. The research was designed in two stages. In Stage 1, Nielsen’s user interface design guidelines were first adapted to include two cultural design principles based on local Malay cultural content and aesthetic values and then used as a probe to uncover academic and student views on culturally appropriate design during a heuristic evaluation of three mobile applications with a Malay cultural focus. The heuristic evaluation of the mLearning applications also served to raise awareness of mLearning and opened the way for interviews with academics and focus group discussions with students about their pre-existing experiences with mobile technologies and perspectives on mLearning. The interviews and focus group discussions were audio recorded, transcribed, translated, and analysed using a thematic analysis approach. Consequently at Stage 2, student-generated activities using mobile devices were introduced. These included students making videos, taking photographs and sound recording interviews in their LCS subjects using a mix of mobile devices such as mobile phones, laptops and…

▼ In order to address how aquaculture has influenced the Setiu estuary and lagoon of northeast peninsular Malaysia, foraminifera, sediment grain-size, and carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios and abundances were analyzed in surface samples collected from beneath and around three floating fish cage complexes. Two currently active floating fish cage complexes, SET11-S43 and SET11-S40, in the Setiu lagoon, within four km of an inlet (salinity in the 20s), have mixed agglutinated and calcareous foraminiferal assemblages, generally dominated by Ammonia aff. A. aoteana and Ammobaculites exiguus. The majority of live foraminifera at these sites are agglutinated species; percent of live specimens is greater around the SET11-S43 fish cage complex, likely related to the presence of aquaculture-related organic rich mud. Percent agglutinated specimens decreases towards the inlet as density and diversity increase as a function of salinity. At an abandoned fish cage complex, SET11-S9A, located in a low salinity (<5) estuarine setting, Miliammina fusca and Ammobaculites exiguus dominate entirely agglutinated assemblages; there is no evidence of fish farm influence in surficial sediments. Side scan sonar data as well as grain-size analysis of surface sediment samples indicate that a muddy substrate extends up to tens of meters to the north of the lagoonal fish cage complexes with a surrounding sandier substrate, typical of most of the Setiu estuary and lagoon system. The percent carbon and nitrogen in sediment exhibit distributional patterns that strongly correlate with the distribution of fish cage mud. Greater concentrations of mud, carbon, and nitrogen in sediment are found to the north of the active fish cage complexes, SET11-S43 and SET11-S40, than to the south. The [delta]Â¹Â³C and [delta]Â¹â�µN signatures of the sediment are attributed to organic matter input from the surrounding mangrove forest while their distribution is a result of tidal currents, water depth, and the presence of the fish farm complexes. Since the abandonment of the SET11-S9A fish cage complex, sediment distribution and foraminiferal assemblages surrounding the complex are indistinguishable from the surrounding estuary. The influence of the active fish cages at SET11-S40 is minimal as a result of tidal currents and mixing although environmental effects are evident further north at the SET11-S43 fish cage complex which receives less marine influence.Â Â Advisors/Committee Members: Culver, Stephen J.

▼ The multi-ethnic tension among the three main ethnics in Malaysia has a great impact on tolerance and political unity. The Bumiputera Policy gives privileges to the Malay ethnicity, which further strains this issue, dividing the nation. Recognising this, the government introduced the 1Malaysia Policy as a possible solution to mitigate this issue to promote equality and attaining unity in diversity. This ultimate purpose is to integrate Malaysians to cooperate in a mutually respectful manner, towards the development of Malaysia. The inevitable consequences of short sighted government policy, development and westernisation in Malaysia have negatively aﬀected the cultural uniqueness of the three main ethnic communities. In domestic architecture, terraced houses have been a direct translation of western terraced housing. The inﬂuences from the West have diverted Malaysia’s sense of Asian culture. The objective of this study is to support the aims of this current 1Malaysia Policy, by ﬁnding a solution to terraced housing, through the design of the 1Malaysia Home. This thesis looks at an adaptable home for multi-cultural families to live and practise their unique cultures in a multi-ethnic community. The implementation of this design, is through research on case studies of the respective traditional houses of Malaysia’s three main ethnic groups. The main design consideration of this ﬂexible home is through a negotiated spatial organisation, in regards to the aims of the theories that informed the traditional houses. This study further explores the cluster design of terraced housing in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood community. The traditional programmes of shop house and other multi-cultural activities in Malaysia are reinstated for a common sense of belonging in the neighbourhood, which ultimately preserves Malaysia’s unique Asian culture and supports its international branding as ‘Malaysia Truly Asia’.

▼ This dissertation addresses a topic of concern within international development today, which is that 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 worldwide have not been registered at birth (UNICEF 2017). I identify the causes for why so many people are left out of civil registration systems and the consequences of such exclusion for individuals’ lives and states’ development aspirations. I conducted 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, during which I provided paralegal assistance to migrants and other marginalized families who faced challenges in obtaining basic documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and identity cards. I also conducted over 100 “document inventories” of households living on palm oil plantations, informal settlements, and urban areas, which is a method I developed to catalogue the evidence a family possesses to substantiate their identities. I supplement this fieldwork with a case study of Myanmar based on historical sources and qualitative interviews. My main argument challenges the assumption that under-registration is the result of a lack of state capacity. I draw attention to how the recording of vital events, more than being a routine bureaucratic task, has profound socio-legal implications—most importantly for the determination of citizenship. I demonstrate that who gets counted, and how, are inherently political choices, and that these choices are often made in ways that exclude migrants and racial minorities from the nation by depriving them of the means to prove their legal personhood. In highlighting the voices and experiences of the families I followed, I demonstrate how omission from civil registration has reverberant negative consequences for people’s lives, including ineligibility to attend school, arrests and detentions, the denial of reproductive healthcare, and the intergenerational transmission of irregular legal status. At the state level, I show how bureaucratic procedures for maintaining civil registration systems have been influenced by racialized fears about the demographic threats posed by migrants, which have transformed attitudes about the counting of births from being administrative tools, to being declarations about the boundaries of national identity and belonging.

▼ This dissertation addresses a topic of concern within international development today, which is that 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 worldwide have not been registered at birth (UNICEF 2017). I identify the causes for why so many people are left out of civil registration systems and the consequences of such exclusion for individuals’ lives and states’ development aspirations. I conducted 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, during which I provided paralegal assistance to migrants and other marginalized families who faced challenges in obtaining basic documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and identity cards. I also conducted over 100 “document inventories” of households living on palm oil plantations, informal settlements, and urban areas, which is a method I developed to catalogue the evidence a family possesses to substantiate their identities. I supplement this fieldwork with a case study of Myanmar based on historical sources and qualitative interviews. My main argument challenges the assumption that under-registration is the result of a lack of state capacity. I draw attention to how the recording of vital events, more than being a routine bureaucratic task, has profound socio-legal implications—most importantly for the determination of citizenship. I demonstrate that who gets counted, and how, are inherently political choices, and that these choices are often made in ways that exclude migrants and racial minorities from the nation by depriving them of the means to prove their legal personhood. In highlighting the voices and experiences of the families I followed, I demonstrate how omission from civil registration has reverberant negative consequences for people’s lives, including ineligibility to attend school, arrests and detentions, the denial of reproductive healthcare, and the intergenerational transmission of irregular legal status. At the state level, I show how bureaucratic procedures for maintaining civil registration systems have been influenced by racialized fears about the demographic threats posed by migrants, which have transformed attitudes about the counting of births from being administrative tools, to being declarations about the boundaries of national identity and belonging.
