    RN Konsult Sdn Bhd was set up in 1995 by its founders; Abdullah and Dennis from UK. The company was set up to provide engineering consulting services for the construction and other related industries. The company's founders had hoped to establish RNK as a centre of excellence for Bumiputra professionals to service the domestic as well as the regional markets. The SWOT analysis had revealed encouraging opportunities for the company on most of its external environmental factors. And most of the internal factors analysed were also found to have contributed to the strength of the company. The SPACE analysis had positioned the company in a competitive posture where it was operating in an unstable and competitive environmental conditions. It was recommended that the company adopt a pause strategy or proceed with caution in a short term and in a long term adopt a growth strategy through concentration via horizontal integration. It was also recommended for the company to team up with DSP, UK and venture into specialised high-tech projects such as the IT industry and the MSC related sectors

    Nowadays, Renewable Energy (RE) has a significant role in providing a safe, reliable and cheap alternative for all of our energy needs. This role will keep growing as a result of increasing global energy demands, climate change warning and depletion of the fossil fuel resources due to the vast usage of the sources to get energy call electrical energy. Unfortunately, which is mostly the concentration of carbon dioxide (C02) is increasing constantly and also the effect of global warming is becoming ever more evident. Hence, the global implementation of Renewable Energy (RE) technology can contribute significantly to this problem. This project entitled Harnessing Marine Energy for Generating Electricity will discuss about a design suitable for energy extraction/conversion by utilizing both wave and tides energy. The prototype was developed as an example of wave energy generator by using a direct drive concept in a number of specific ways. The energy converter is the main part of this prototype that will be thoroughly described in the chapters to come. The basic principle used is linear motion that can directly produce electricity. The outcomes of the project prove that the concept of linear motion applied in energy conversion can produce certain amount of electrical energy

    Concept of crime and punishment under islamic law / Abdul Razak Ahmad

    Law in every society aims at the maintenance of social control. It is a system which is primarily established to protect the rights of individuals as well as of society. The legal system in every society has its own nature, character and scope. Similarly, Islam has its own legal system known as Fiqh. Islamic law is not purely legal, in the strict sense of the term; rather it embraces all the spheres of life i.e., ethics, religion, political and economic. It has its origin in the Divine Revelation that is, the Quran. The Revelation determined the norms and basic concepts of Islamic Law. It should be noted that there are certain basic differences between the purpose and scope of law in Islam and in the other legal systems. The scope of Quranic laws comprise rules of human conduct in all spheres of life, ensuring men's well-being in his ordinary life as well as in the Hereafter. The enforcerrent of Islamic laws as contained in the Quran is the duty of an Islamic State. The application of the individual's rules of moral conduct is governed by two important factors, namely the Muslim society's colletive responsibility to observe Islamic teachings, and the individual's relationship with his Creater; Allah as well as with society. Muslim society is obliged according to the Quran, to enforce the application of rules of moral behaviour as divine carrrandrrents. The Quran repeatedly appeals to human conscience to follow the teachings of the Revelation for its own welfare as well as for the well-being of fellow human beings. Thus, the Quran, by making the observance of the rules of the Syariah a matter of human conscience, has dignified the concept of law and the ethical values of its teachings, which constitute the noblest and most perfect basis of universal laws

    As strategic education agenda works to prepare competent graduates, human resource development has become crucial for uplifting the internal strength of the university. University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) relatively a ‘young’ university has been engaged in establishing learning interaction among its staffs towards excellence. This paradigm is paramount to the strategic human resource provider as it allows not only the students who will be graduating but the young faculty members and its administrative staffs to excel. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the keys to successful university undertaken by UMS. In less than ten years, the faculty members as well as the administrative staffs manage to position the university at par to that of other established higher learning institutions in the nation. With the establishment of learning interaction, human resource development of UMS have shown some impact for promoting educational excellence among Malaysians. Indeed competent human resource plays an important role to meet the vision and the mission of UMS- strive to excel.Human Resource Development; Higher Education

    The toll industry put great emphasis on preventing revenue leakage especially from fraud by toll tellers. An automatic vehicle classification system (AVC) has been developed in order to mitigate the problem based on the classes defined by Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA). The system uses treadle sensors to map tires and count the number of axles while the optical barrier is used to detect the presence of vehicle. However, since the short lifecycle because of wear and tear due to the nature of them being treaded by the vehicles, the treadle breaks quickly and needs frequent replacement. Disruptions during maintenance and replacement causing inconvenience and unreliability that results in a steady demand by worldwide toll collection industries for replacement or at least enhancement of the technology. Two approaches have been made to mitigate this problem. First, the materials in the treadle are improved and second, a system to compensate for small errors is developed. The sensor is changed from fragile contact switch to strain gage that has high fatigue limit. The new sensor housing is made out of stainless steel that has high fatigue limit of 260 MPa. Furthermore, to increase the treadle endurance, the sensors are contained in elastomeric material which possesses hardness of 70 (Shore A scale) that protects the sensors from external impact of vehicles yet still allows force to be transferred to the sensor. The new treadle sensor was tested and can last more than 5 million treading cycles as required by the industry. Moreover, a robust dual tire classification module is installed in the system that can maintain high accuracy even when some sensors have error. Test using simulated data shows that the algorithm can maintain 100% accuracy when two errors are present. The module was also tested on actual data that gives 99.83% accuracy. With these enhancements, the lifecycle of the device is elongated beyond 5 million cycles without compromising the accuracy. Thus, it prevents revenue leakage and avoids traffic disruptions that will contribute positively to the economy
