Graduate on Time: Factors of Failure in UiTM Cawangan Johor

The percentage of diploma students who graduate on time in UiTM Cawangan Johor for each semester was inadequate. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the factors that influence students to be unsuccessfully graduating on time. A sample of 17 extended full-time modes (SML) students in the semester of July – August 2018 (intersession semester) had been utilised as the primary data. In this research, the descriptive analytics study was also used. The students were asked an open-ended question to get the required information based on the objective of the study. In 30 minutes, 97 answers were received and recorded. Based on the answers obtained by the students, there are 10 categories that can be identified according to the similarities of answers given by the students. The 10 categories are then called the factors. It includes (1) learning abilities, (2) attitude towards learning, (3) time management, (4) system, (5) lecturer, (6) strategy, (7) low self-confidence, (8) peer, (9) lack of family support and (10) financial difficulties. This study is important because it attempts to generate research-based recommendations in order to improve the percentage of students who graduate on time in UiTM Cawangan Johor. The findings of the study may suggest new methods of activities or programmes that are needed to be taken into consideration by the university in the future.

Do Environmental Risks Explain the Sovereign Sukuk Yields in Malaysia?

Given the increasing risks posed by environmental degradation, severe climate change, and recent pandemics, the establishment of a sustainable economy has become a priority for numerous nations. From this perspective, it is crucial to emphasize sustainable finance since it has the potential to serve as a vehicle for accomplishing a green economic agenda. Sovereign sukuk held a prominent position in the sukuk market, both domestically and internationally, but its influence was particularly significant inside the domestic sphere. The study seeks to examine the link between environmental risks and the yield performance of sovereign sukuk. Sukuk performed less favourably compared to other asset classes in terms of including environmental risk in the calculation of yield. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct additional investigation into the impact of environmental concerns on sukuk yields. The analysis includes Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and quantile regression techniques, using data from the period 1990-2021. This study examines the relationship between market variables, environmental risk, and sukuk yields in Malaysia. The paper demonstrates that both market variables and environmental concerns have an impact on the yields of sovereign sukuk. Additionally, it introduces a novel approach for modelling these yields
