    The primary focus of this paper's discussion is the enhancement of the concept of liveability (KDH) in relation to development of a country in terms of economic growth, and the environment. This paper addresses liveability concept (KDH) as one of the crucial elements in the formation of Inclusive Communities (KI). It relates to the development of a country with a quality and good atmosphere, as well as unity amongst communities, in order to ensure the community's well-being in a country. Among the issues debated are (i) the transformation of rural development in developing and building competitive rural communities on par with urban communities, (ii) the formation of inclusive and liveable communities, (iii) the realisation of the national liveability index, and (iv) well-being & sustainability of life. This paper uses secondary sources, such as study results published in journals, scholarly literature, internet news sources, and public forums, to employ a qualitative methodology. According to the findings of the study, the measures employed by a country to measure its liveability, such as the liveability index, have a significant role in ensuring the health and sustainability of communal life. The focus of the future study is on the importance of a country's agenda being sensitive to the balance between developing and increasingly developed nations. This is consistent with the issues, difficulties, and strategies of a country undergoing a phase or process of implementing the liveability index framework

    The discussion in this paper refers to Comprehensive Security (COMSEC) as a continuous effort that is balanced, integrated at every level of government administration and societal structure and across all fields. In order to maintain the Federation of Malaysia’s sovereignty, peace and prosperity, it is necessary to protect the country from all internal and external dangers. This paper discusses COMSEC and its relationship to the sovereignty and security of our nation, Malaysia. The discussion’s focus has shifted when a number of issues were brought up, including the problem of cross-border crime and the current digital threat, where it is important to comprehend COMSEC in order to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak and build public awareness and resilience in order to ensure national security and sustainable development, which is the key to sustainable development. The primary objective of this discussion is to identify the issues that play a significant role in the government’s attempts to implement COMSEC, as well as the challenges faced by the government in addressing the contested issues. The qualitative approach used in this writing uses secondary sources such published study findings, academic writing, online news sources, and public forums. The issue of cross-border crime, such as smuggling, human trafficking, and the invasion of illegal Immigrants (PATI) continues to plague the majority of developing nations, including Malaysia. The problem of digital threats also sparked alarm among the public and the government, since it is one of the issues the government faces in ensuring the security and sovereignty of the nation. In the meantime, there are doctrines regarding the implementation of COMSEC that are still applicable in the current day, but they should be modified to reflect the changing patterns of the times. According to the findings of the study, the government also had a crucial role in preventing the growth of the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia. However, other parties also play a crucial role in breaking the chain of the Covid-19 epidemic. Especially in this epidemic period, all parties must work together to realise the government’s goals so that the safety of the people and the nation can be ensured through the application of the COMSEC concept

    As a Federal Statutory Body established by an Act of Parliament and gazetted on 3 September 2009 under Section 3 of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 [Act 700], the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) is viewed as having a prominent role in enhancing the culture of integrity. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues of integrity leakage currently facing by the EAIC including (i) Issues Concerning the Cultivation of Bribery Rewards and Corrupt Practices Among Civil Servants, (ii) Issues of Empowering Integrity Education in Sustainable Public Sector Governance, (iii) The Issue of Bureaucracy in Impairing the Efficiency of Human Resources and weakening the Organisational Administrative System, and (iv) The Issue of Exploitation by the Department’s Top Management for Personal Gain, and (v) The Issue of Cartels in Preventing the Loss of National Treasures. This paper applies secondary sources, such as research results published in journals, scholarly writing, online news sources, and public forums, to employ a qualitative methodology. According to the findings of the study found that civil servant’s breach of integrity is a serious concern if corruption and malpractice continue to occur. The study suggests that if the present system in the organisation is plagued by bureaucracy-related issues, it will worsen the situation of integrity in the government, resulting in the paralysis of the country’s governance delivery system. Hence, the crisis of integrity resulting from abuse of power, corruption, and breach of trust which can be interpreted as a frequent betrayal of trust among governments, civil servants, the private sector, and the general public places the nation at risk of having governance systems that are unreliable

    Simulation Single Phase Active Filter Based on p-q technique using MATLAB/Simulink Development Tools Environment

    Get PDF
    This paper presents a single phase shunt active power filter based on instantaneous power theory. The active filter will be connected directly to utility in order to reduce THD of load current, in this case the utility is TNB.The instantaneous power theory also known as p-q theory is used for three phase active filter and this paper proves that the p-q theory can also be implemented for single phase active filter. Since the system has only single phase signal for both voltage and current, thus the dummy signal with 120Âş different angels must be generated for input of the p-q theory. The p-q technique will generate six signals PWM for switching IGBT, but only two of the signals will be used to control the switching IGBT. The simulation results are on MATLAB/Simulink environment tools presented in order to demonstrate the performance of the current load on single phase shunt active power filter

    The discussion in this paper pertains to the issue of Voters 18 and Automatic Voter Registration (AVR). The issues refined in this debate include: (1) The efforts of democratization that is mature, fair, and equitable elections to advance social and political development; (2) Studies on the impact of youth political participation in the General Election (GE); (3) Justification of the enforcement & implementation of Vote 18; (4) Improvisation of the work of the election series; and (5) Jurisdiction and responsibility of the Election Commission (EC). This paper uses secondary sources, such as research results published in journals, scholarly writing, online news sources, and public forums, to employ a qualitative methodology. The results of the study indicate that the participation of 18-year-old voters is an important factor in the formation of a government capable of representing the interests of all age groups and the community as a whole. It is hoped that the young generation or youth will now exercise their rights with maturity, discernment, and efficiency. Voting is a personal decision, and there is no incorrect vote, but all young Malaysians should have the right to vote. The future of the nation can be influenced by the rationale behind efforts to involve the youth in political power determination. Thus, the elaboration research of this study should concentrate on the significance of political system, state government, and the federal constitution education for the young generation in order to prepare them to participate in general elections
