Background of Malaysian private institutions of higher learning and challenges faced by academics

Private institutions of higher learning (IHLs) are as important as the public ones in preparing Malaysia as an educational hub in the Asian region. This article discusses background of Malaysian private institutions of higher learning and career challenges faced by the academics. The background consists of their account of establishment to the current development. The challenges include uncertain career path of academics, problems of tasks in teaching versus research due to lack of funding, opportunities for sabbatical leave and pursuance of higher education as well as participation in conferences abroad. Thus understanding challenges is important for the academics in private IHLs to prepare, plan and develop their careers

Analytical and statistical approaches to study the impacts of shoreline change towards mangroves at Kukup Island National Park, Johor

Shoreline and mangroves form a dynamic ecosystem to coastal area. They support and supply various foods and protections to ensure the sustainability of coastal ecosystem around the world. Despite these, information that exclusively emphasize on the interaction of shoreline change and mangroves on an island is still lacking, making assessment and observation towards coastal areas on island less significant. Hence, this study is significant to provide a first view of the interaction and the relationship and response of shorelines change towards mangrove physical characteristics. GIS, remote sensing as well as statistical analysis such as DSAS and linear regression were applied to support the study that consisted of three main stages which involve data collection, data processing and comparison of mangroves physical characteristics towards the changes in shoreline positions. Finding revealed that during the time span of 2005-2011, shoreline near to Sg Ular has experienced more erosion, resulted in the shoreline shifting that was ranged between -0.02 m/y and -1.52 m/y. Further analysis of shoreline change and mangroves physical characteristic unveiled that a significant relationship of mangrove characteristics and shoreline changes rates occurred at Sg Ular. It was found that mangroves communities along the shoreline of Sg Ular was negatively influenced by the shoreline change, possibly due to mild erosion along the shoreline towards the river mouth of Sg Ular

The Formation of Nationalism-Religious Country in Malaysia

After independence, efforts to reconstruct the history of ancient Malaysia recorded by colonial scholars have been made. However, there are still poor explanations. Therefore, the following studies are the study of the history of the Malay community in a new interpretation. The methods used in this study are phenomenological. With this method it was found that the process of independence of Malaya in 1957 did not take place in the short run by the British and its elite, but it took a long time and made little sacrifice. It started in the form of awareness by scholars of Malay nationalism itself which unfortunately has been forgotten or closed their role by chroniclers
