Kreativiti dan inovasi urus harta wakaf

Rata-rata rakyat mendepani banyak isu berkaitan hartanah. Isu harga rumah mampu milik belum selesai. Timbul pula isu hartanah tidak laku di pasaran dengan penurunan harga rumah mewah untuk pembeli warga asing. Begitu juga dengan isu kemunduran Tanah Rezab Melayu yang tidak kunjung padam. Ditambah pula isu pembangunan semula tanah di Kampong Bahru yang hangat sekarang. Cadangan tempoh 999 tahun bagi pemilikan tanah juga perlukan perhatian. Manakala akta-akta berkaitan tanah yang sudah lapuk perlu diharmonikan. Sama dengan isu tanah wakaf yang mundur. Sesungguhnya semua isu ini perlu ditangani dengan cara yang profesional dan bijaksana

Bentuk data raya hartanah negara

Baru-baru ini YB Dato’ Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia memberi penekanan betapa pentingnya pegawai-pegawai yang menjaga harta wakaf untuk mengambil daya usaha yang lebih kreatif dan inovatif dalam mengembangkan potensi harta wakaf di seluruh negara. Semasa Konferens Wakaf Global (GWC2019) yang diadakan di Kuala Lumpur pada 11 hingga 13 November lalu, beliau menyatakan hanya kira-kira 12 peratus daripada tanah-tanah wakaf seluas 30,000 hektar di seluruh negara yang telah dimajukan. Selebihnya mundur dan belum dimajukan. Kenapakah keadaan ini berlaku

Plant-derived antimalarial agents: from crude extracts to isolated bioactive compounds

Despite decades of intense research, malaria remains a deadly disease of the developing worlds. Drugresistance to limited available antimalarials, in part, has contributed to the persistence of this infectious disease. Likewise, the use of antimalarials such as artemisinin, though effective in global malaria control programs, is hampered by high cost and limited supply. Therefore, identification of an antimalarial drug that is easy to isolate and produce, inexpensive, and demonstrates little toxicity across a diverse population represents the ideal agent needed for global malaria control programs and eradication of this deadly disease. This review discusses several antimalarial compounds containing unique structural composition that have been isolated and characterized from plant sources. These compounds have exhibited promising antimalarial activities in vitro and in vivo. However, limitations such as toxicity, low bioavailability and/or poor solubility have probably restricted the scope of use for several plant products in humans. Nevertheless, plants provide novel leads, which can be developed into safe drugs by synthetic strategies as exemplified by artemether and quinoline class of antimalarials. Therefore, plant bioactive compounds described herein provide useful alternatives, which could be modulated to obtain antimalarials active against not only drug-sensitive, but also drug-resistant and multi-drug resistant strains of Plasmodium. In this direction, semi synthetic approaches to newer and modified antimalarials have provided useful insights into their applicability in antimalarial drug discovery

Does the government doing enough in providing affordable housing in Malaysia?

In neoclassical, market failure is a situation in which the allocation of goods and services by a free market is not Pareto efficient, often leading to a net loss of economic value. This mismatching between supply of and demand for land creates sky rocketing housing prices in the market. Since the Government is concerned in housing the nation, numerous housing programs to provide adequate affordable housing to meet the needs of the low income or the middle income households. Unfortunately, the country still lacks the supply of affordable homes to meet the demand. Supply of houses in the market is in abundance but they do not fall under the affordable category. Therefore, the existing Government policies and implementation of affordable housing need to be realigned accordingly
