Stare decisis: its development and application in West Malaysia / Mohammad Ramli Ahmad Dahlan

The sources of Malaysian law can divided into two main forms: written and the unwritten. Unwritten law is that part of law which is not enacted or embodied in any codes or statutes but develops through custom practices and decisions of courts, in this paper, the decisions of the courts will be consider d basically with the doctrine of Stare decisis. The object of this paper is to ascertain the extent to which the English doctrine of precedent is accepted in Malaysia, giving due consideration to the policy of the past and present needs of the courts of Malaysia. It has never been disputed that since the introduction of the doctrine to our country, it has gone through many developments, politically and constitutionally. In determining the doctrine in Malaysia, this paper would be divided into several chapters. Chapter one will discuss the doctrine itself and its early development in England. Chapter Two will highlight the introduction of the doctrine in the Straits settlements, -he application of the doctrine upon the formation of Malaysia will be discussed in Chapter Three with emphasis on the role of Privy . Council as the final Court of appeal then, chapter four will deal with the niera: chial system of precedents as practised today with the Supreme Court as its final court of appeal

The Urgention of Use of Technology as A Minute Protection of Notary Assets That are Lost or Damaged Due to Natural Disasters

This study aims to: to determine how important the application of technology is to protect the minuta notary deeds that are lost or damaged by natural disasters. The approach method in this research is sociological empirical research which is a qualitative research based on primary data. Primary data is data that is obtained directly by the object. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the use of technology as an effort to protect notary deeds that are lost or damaged due to natural disasters has not obtained a clear legal basis because the Notary Position Law or other legal provisions do not clearly regulate the procedure for keeping the minimum deed, so that notaries do not have standard rules regarding procedures. How to keep the minuta deed, which results in not providing legal certainty and legal protection for the parties concerned. Along with the development of technology, technology should be used in order to support work, including notaries, storing minuta deeds in the form of soft files to make backup files that can be used if one day a natural disaster occurs which results in the loss or damage of a minimum certificate. The absence of a clear legal basis that regulates the use of technology as a means of storing minimum deeds is one of the obstacles to the use of technology, even though this is done to improve the performance of notaries who are an extension of the government in the field of civil law in terms of services to the public. The potential for disasters or things beyond human capacity that can cause the loss or damage of the deed as part of the notary protocol is very large, so it is necessary to make preventive efforts by the notary in carrying out one of its obligations as mandated in the UUJN. Notaries must take the initiative in keeping the minimum deeds so that their storage is completely safe and not stuck with the old habit of storing notary protocols in a cupboard or vault that is still lost or damaged due to natural disasters or other things beyond human ability. So that efforts to utilize technology should become an internal habit in the notary office while waiting for a clear legal basis

Quality Service: A Benchmark Setting for Customer Satisfaction in Food Catering Services in Kuala Lumpur Region

Intense competition pressures have been brought on by rising customer demand for quality in the food service industry. As a result, they are focusing their strategies on delivering the best possible service, which encourages client satisfaction and loyalty by raising the level of service. In this study, the perception of service quality and its effect on customer satisfaction was investigated by surveying consumers of two distinct catering services in the Kuala Lumpur region. In the study, SERVQUAL was utilized as a questionnaire for the data collection method that was designed to quantify service quality. On 100 instances of valid survey data, regression analysis was performed as part of the analysis. The result shows neither of the two catering services reaches a significant impact on quality service and customer satisfaction. However, the overall mean score is indicative of the fact that caterer A is considered better than caterer B in terms of service quality. The findings demonstrate that customers have the freedom to exercise their right to obtain the services they desire and to choose to do so in order to fulfill their intentions. As a result, ensuring client satisfaction in this tough market where all Malaysian restaurants strive to maintain and retain their services is a high priority for the food service business.

The results will be used to improve the model as well as recommending points of improvement for Malaysian universities

Geo-referencing the satellite image from Google Earth by relative and absolute positioning

Introduction of geo-visualisation tools over the internet such as Google Earth (GE) has cut down the cost of data acquisition. This study is undertaken to validate the geo-information provided by GE that could be used for geospatial work. Satellite images and latitude-longitude coordinates (X-Y) for the campus of the University of Malaya has been downloaded from the internet. Geo-referencing of the satellite image was carried out using the relative positioning (RP) and absolute positioning (AP) within the geographic information system environment. Sources of X-Y for AP were obtained from GE and a topography map provided by the Malaysian Survey and Mapping Department. For absolute positioning, the data was obtained using GPS equipment. Comparison of these sources was undetaken with the total residual mean square error (RMSE) of X-Y in the map and at the source. All sources of X-Y had produced the total RMSE within 0.00014 degree. Considering the total RMSE as standard deviation (SD), the resulting range of error for geo-referencing of the satellite image was within 15 m. Thus, it can be concluded that geo-information from GE can be used as the source of base map

Scale factor and digital elevation analysis for hydrological studies

The digital elevation model (DEM) is usually used to express a topographic surface in three dimensions and to imitate essential natural geography. The DEM is a model of the elevation surface, which is subject to errors. The Gurun area in Kedah, Malaysia was chosen for study, and the focus was on terrain analysis and the impacts of DEM resolution on topographic attributes related to hydrological studies. Five DEM resolutions were derived and the impact of different resolutions on the topographical parameters related to hydrological studies was compared. The result demonstrated that a fine DEM resolution revealed more detailed topographic values compared to the coarse DEM

Food safety governance: Standard operating procedure on controlling of nitrite level, handling and processing of edible bird's nest

Malaysia is one of the largest bird’s nest exporters particularly to China and Hong Kong market. However, Malaysia multimillion ringgits bird’s nest industry has been hit hard by China’s ban and a series of scandals, with a drop in sales and prices. In light of the emerging food safety issues that surrounds the Malaysian Edible Bird’s Nest (EBN) industry, which have somewhat affect the economic gain of the EBN exporters in Malaysia, the Ministry of Health Malaysia, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based and Industry Malaysia under its Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and Department of Standards Malaysia had since 2003 issued a set of guidelines for a more systematic management of the local swift’s nest industry. Besides, these guidelines are needed to ensure that the local swiftlet’s industry does not create any health problem to the population

PERANAN ADVOKAT DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KEWENANGAN PENGADILAN AGAMA DALAM BIDANG KEWARISAN

In matters of inheritance between religious people, Islam has determined in the Law which establishes the authority of the Court. This authority has been approved in a limited way in the Religious Court Law. The problem that often occurs is that the advocate as the attorney of the plaintiff (client) does not follow the provisions submitted and submitted to the District Court on the basis of Unlawful Acts. In general, clients do not know about the endorsement. When this happens, the role of the advocate will be canceled by the role of the religious court and deciding the case of inheritance between Muslims (Islamic personaliatas
