WELCOME MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE CHAIR
Professor Dr. Amran Rasli
We welcome all respected presenters to 2nd ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference (AIMC 2018). As per the previous ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference AIMC 2017, we received so many abstracts from so many researchers from many parts of the world. Since this year is the third AIC, we have decided to give back more to those who participated this year. Firstly, we have arranged for a series of value added pre- and post-conference workshops which we believe will be very beneficial to the attendees. The pre-conference workshop covers five areas which have always been the bane of most researchers, i.e. how to write a good introduction chapter to your research, moderation and mediation analysis, advanced issues in structural equation modelling using SmartPLS, how to publish in high impact factor journals and how to format thesis and article for publication.. We hope that through these workshops, the attendees will be able to improve their research and writing skills accordingly. As always, we will try to assist you as ASIA is a venue where we network and help each other as best possible.
Other than the workshops we provide travel grants for deserving participants. This is part of our corporate social responsibility on top of our financial support for deserving postgraduate students studying at UTM.
Finally, we have raised the bar by focusing on better quality articles for acceptance to be published in reputable journals. We do hope that participants would understand that publication is a long and tedious process that involves many rounds of reviews and corrections. For these reasons, we hope that participants could assist by putting in more effort to ensure that articles submitted are original, error-free and fulfil the quality standard imposed. So, help us to help you and the others as well, as a delay in submission by some individuals will affect the others as well.
We have the gala dinner which we hope all the participants would attend as this is the venue where we could chill, let our hair down and network together. And yes, we will be singing together as before!! May 2nd ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference (AIMC 2018) bring many benefits to all of us.
Happy conferencing.

As it is commonly known that human beings have basic needs, part of these needs are physical, like the need for food, water, health sanitation and hygiene, shelter, but essential needs go beyond these few elements. This is because they cover the psychological sphere which includes security or safety, protection and recognition etc. Commonly, these needs are naturally fulfilled through the community or through policies, public goods and services provided by the State. Compounding problems in developing countries like Nigeria is micro nationalism, religious and communal conflicts which pose a great threat to peace, security and progress. The aim of the paper is to discuss the IDPs’ victims within the Nigerian context and looking at the most affected areas. Further to look at the factors as well as their rights with the aim to examine the laws for their protection. The paper adopts doctrinal approach as the methodology wherein both primary and secondary sources of data are analysed. The finding of the paper reveals that the Nigeria Government has no law specifically dealing with IDPs. Therefore, the paper recommends that the government should strengthen their efforts in the protection and support of the IDPs in all aspects of their humanitarian existence for a better livelihood and education.

AIMC-2018-SSH-75 ROLE OF TEACHERS-A PARADIGM SHIFT Corresponding Author: Gayathry S SRM Institute of Science & Technology Abstract The role of teachers is undergoing a paradigm shift in the present education scenario. During earlier days, teachers played the role of tutors and were highly subject oriented. They were not expected to do anything other than mere teaching. They were considered as instructors. With advancement in technology the role of the teachers became as that of a guide and the teachers were leading the students. In the present era of knowledge explosion, the teachers have to be facilitators. They learn along with the students. The role of the teachers has thus undergone a paradigm shift from that of instructors to leaders to learners. This paper makes an earnest attempt to study the role of teachers working for Government and Private Arts & Science Colleges and Engineering Colleges. An attempt has been made to study the association between the different parameters for evaluating the role of teachers working under various streams and different sectors.

AIMC-2018-SSH-90 A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON ZAKAH LAW MANAGEMENT BETWEEN INDONESIA AND NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES Corresponding Author: IRMA RACHMAWATI MARUF Co-Authors: Ali Anwar, Ram Al Jufri Said Universitas Pasundan Abstract Zakah is an important mechanism for the development of the country as it contributes to social security, helps on bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, and strengthen the economic independence of the Muslim community. It is also an important financial resource for a state. Generally speaking, the distribution of zakah funds can help the government to generate economic activity through an increase of individual's purchasing power and finally help to alleviate poverty. Zakah funds could be used to improve the living standards of the people who have low income households. Given the importance of zakah to the economy and society, in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore zakah institutions have been set up to collect and distribute funds. They are controlled by government, which dictates the administration and management of zakah institutions. One of the issues is the level of zakah distribution is lower than the zakah collection. Hence, there are surplus of millions of ringgits of zakah funds that are not distributed to the recipients. Zakah management has been argued as the most critical aspect in determining the direction of the zakah institutions as a systematic and effective management would ensure optimization of the zakah as a productive income for the recipients. There are two objectives of the study which are:?1. To explore and examine the management of zakah institutions in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.? 2. To examine the function of zakah as a productive income. The methodology used is a qualitative analytical description which analyze key provision of relevant law impacted upon the law of management zakah in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The research is conducted by comparative approach. Based on the results of this study, the law of management zakah in Malaysia and Singapore is better, however the management of zakah in Indonesia is better in distributions.

AIMC-2018-SSH-95 EXPLORING THE SITUATIONAL ANTECEDENTS OF LEADERSHIP UNETHICAL PRACTICES IN THE ALGERIAN STATE-OWNED COMPANIES Corresponding Author: Abderrahmane Benlahcene Co-Authors: Dr. Ruslan Bin Zainuddin, Dr. Nur Syakiran Akmal Bt. Ismail University Utara Malaysia Abstract Unethical practices of leaders have grave consequences for companies, followers, and leaders themselves. Many studies on leadership discipline have explored and examined leadership styles, traits, culture, ethics and many other accounts of leadership. Recently, more focus has been geared towards leadership unethical behavior. However, previous studies were predominantly conducted in developed countries; within the context of western countries in particular. Empirical and conceptual research on situational and individual antecedents of leadership unethical practices in developed countries is well established. Yet, studies on this matter in developing countries of different situational and cultural settings are almost absent. Thus, this proposed research discusses the role of the situational context in predicting leaders’ unethical behavior in Algeria. In doing so, this research will outline propositions and research questions to diagnose the inherent difficulties, structural challenges, and the organizational context of the Algerian state-owned companies. To capture the complexity of the situational antecedents of leadership unethical behavior this research will be measured by using qualitative methods and strives to explore the situational dynamics of leadership unethical behavior within the Algerian context.

AIMC-2018-SSH-103 PRINT VERSUS DIGITAL: A LOCAL EXAMINATION OF PATRON PREFERENCES AT A POLYTECHNIC LIBRARY Corresponding Author: Mahmud Nefene Usman Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic, Kazaure Abstract Availability and access to IT facilities and associated library resources in this part of the country are still hampered by inadequate funding and technical manpower. Despite these challenges, there are common sense views among some stake holders that libraries should join the „train‟ of transition from conventional resources to digital ones, given such trends in the developed parts of the world. This study was conducted at Federal Polytechnic Kazaure, Nigeria to ascertain reader preferences for print and digital resources. Questionnaires were deployed using social media platforms of both the students and the faculty. While results indicated overwhelming preference for e-resources among students, a significant proportion of faculty members want the library to maintain both print and digital resources. The implication of the findings is that the library management must employ a pragmatic approach to collection development. The study suggests extension of the geographical scope of a future study with a view to ascertaining an overall situation in similar academic institutions in Northwest Nigeria.

Successful nurturing of HOTS requires the student’s initiative to change from normal thinking to a critical way of thinking. Educational transformation aimed at cultivating HOTS is in line with contemporary situations because teachers also encounter students who are far different today compared to a decade or so before. The implementation of HOTS among teachers should be intensive and continuous via various methods to ensure the teacher’s capability to teach and learn is always improving. Failure to implement a good HOTS would weaken the objective of the Malaysia Education Development Plan 2013- 2025 aimed at producing students who are highly productive and skilled in using information technology and communication. Hence, this paper intended to comprehensively identify the criteria for best-practice for HOTS in the Design and Technology (RBT) course as well as evaluate the criteria by using the Delphi Method. This method comprised three interview sessions with a panel of 15 experts whose function was to determine the criteria obtained from literature sources. These criteria were then used as components to develop an instrument to measure teachers’ experience when carrying out HOTS during the teaching and learning sessions.

This is apparent in the emergence of network governance models that are more pliable to a more diverse input for decision making. The inclusion of George Town, Penang into UNESCO World Heritage Site necessitates the shift away from state based governance to inclusive governance of the city. This research explores the workings of metagovernance in George Town, Penang. The mode of interaction between stakeholders is explored to determine how decision making is applied. Three main stakeholders with varying roles played were identified and data was collected via semi-structured interview. A thematic analysis of the interview was compared against Political Market Square Theory to determine how elements of power, interest, conflict and trust influences the functioning of the metagovernance network. The study established that a form of state-centric inclusive metagovernance is practiced in the governance of George Town World Heritage Site. Therefore, an expansion of the metagovernance network to include more stakeholders is recommended to increase the legitimacy of metagovernance in George Town, Penang.

This situation is disturbing because it gives a great loss to the country because of the talent, skills, ability and knowledge possessed by this living person will disappear without having an opportunity to pass it down to younger people. Therefore, the program of Living Person Heritage Program (LPHP) is established where several prolific and prominent cultural practitioners were identified and officially recognized as the country’s living heritage or ‘WAKOH’. National Heritage Act 2005 (Act 645) is used to protect, safeguard and involve this living persons in any heritage programs. The objective of this study is to identify to what extent this NHA 2005 in providing the proper safeguarding or protection to this living persons.

Corresponding Author: Norzalina Zainudin Co-Authors: Chamhuri Siwar; Er Ah Choy & Norshamliza Chamhuri Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract This paper aims to use behaviour change theories in emphasizing the impact of innovation on behaviour and the role of innovation as an agent of change. There are four behavioural sciences theories which are Diffusion of Innovation, Theory of Planned Behaviour, Norm Activation Theory and Technology Acceptance Model were adopted to predict consumers’ intention on buying energy efficient products. A cluster sampling with 500 face to face interviewed questionnaires was used in two regions in Peninsular Malaysia. In total, 392 usable Malaysian consumer responses were collected and used for analysis. The finding on the evaluation of absolute indices of structural models showed the criteria of the models is good-of-fit with value greater 0.9 and Root Mean Square Error Approximation (RMSEA) less than 0.08. Analysis for the direct effect model found that perceived product advantages as a dominants factor influencing consumer intention to buy energy efficient products. For indirect model, attitude mediates the relationship between perceived product advantages, subjective norm and responsibility with consumer’s intention to buy energy efficient products. As a practical implication, consumer’s perception on products, attitude, education and knowledge about the label and products is crucial for consumer to form a more favourable mind-set towards green innovation products. Communication initiatives that develop the consumer trust about the benefits of the products are some of the various ways to encourage consumer purchasing behaviour.

It therefore argues that democracy is more than this, as; it is a continuing process of struggle by the masses to extricate themselves from the oppressive state and the few elites that control the means of production in a social formation. This would, undoubtedly, make the rulers to be more accountable and hence allow the masses to enjoy the most needed dividends of democracy. Liberal Democratic Theory was employed to serve as a framework for analysis .In addition, content analysis by means of relevant literature aided the paper enormously. To this end, the paper succinctly exposed the lacunas inherent in Nigeria’s democratic project and lastly suggests that the laboring masses must organize a strong opposition to do away with oppressive and unaccountable government in order to have responsive and fruitful democratic results. Not only this, the processes of democracy must be part and parcel of the culture of the people so as to fuel continuous struggling for an accountable , responsive, transparent and credible leaders.

Yet, educators are concerned about the ability to adapt to new instructional leaderships due to unspoken principal-teacher expectations. This paper discusses the extent of instructional leadership practices by two newly transferred principals at two different schools in Kuala Lumpur. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how their instructional leadership practices affected the self-efficacy of the teachers. Through the use of a cross-sectional survey, responses made by 64 teachers employed in one public school and one privately-run school, were compared. The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) Teacher Short Form and the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) were used for data collection. The findings showed a high level of instructional leadership practices and self-efficacy in both schools. Most importantly, the test results indicated a strong and positive relationship between the principals’ perceived instructional leadership practices and the teachers’ self-efficacy. Some of the details even suggested that newly transferred principals enforce specific school goals as their main agenda. Nevertheless, the areas of significance identified by this study may help district school superintendents develop the right knowledge to support newly transferred principals in their instructional leadership, thus enhancing teachers’ self-efficacy at the school level.

AIMC-2018-SSH-347 AWARENESS TOWARDS CROWDFUNDING AS ALTERNATIVE FINANCING MECHANISM AMONG YOUTH ENTREPRENEURS IN MALAYSIA Corresponding Author: Munirah Salim Co-Authors: Associate Professor Salina Binti Kassim UIAM Abstract One of the issues facing by youth entrepreneurs is accessibility towards external financing. Youth entrepreneurs are mainly considered as high risk profile due to their inability to fulfill financing requirement especially in providing collateral and guarantor, insufficient cash flow, lack of considerable credit history and too small to be of interest to most angel investors and venture capitalists. In this regard, crowdfunding has been proposed to be a promising financing alternative to improve youth entrepreneur’s financial condition. Crowdfunding utilizes internet-based tools to raise financing from the crowd in the form of either non-financial crowdfunding (that is in the form of donation or reward-based crowdfunding) or financial crowdfunding (in the forms of debt-based and equity). The purpose of this study is to examine the level of awareness among youth entrepreneurs on crowdfunding as one of an alternative financing mechanism. It also aim to investigate the role of demographic factors such as gender and educational background in influencing the awareness among youth entrepreneurs on crowdfunding concept and crowdfunding models. The study undertakes the quantitative method with questionnaires survey was administered to a sample of 100 youth entrepreneurs in Institusi Pendidikan MARA (IPMA) and analysis is conducted using descriptive design. Findings of the study is expected to shed the light on the potentials of crowdfunding as one of an alternative financing mechanism for the youth entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

AIMC-2018-SSH-367 GIGVAGANZA: A NEW DIMENSION IN LEARNING GRAMMAR IN A FUN WAY Corresponding Author: Noor Azlinda Zainal Abidin UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG Abstract Grammar has been a very dull and dry part of language learning. It is usually less emphasized to other skills such as Writing, Speaking, Reading and Listening. With the limited time given in teaching grammar in English classroom, grammar is incorporated in all skills taught. However, students’ understanding in grammar has always ended up with teacher’s frustration and mistakes are repeatedly done or application of grammar in all skills are not seen so much. Due to the situation, GIGvaganza (Get into Grammar) was introduced as one of the projects in an English course in Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) and now it is used as one of the modules in UAE-ECER Empower programme in UMP to ensure the application of language learning especially in grammar. In this study, students and school teachers were asked on their perception of the programme. The outcome of the GIGvaganza is that students give positive results and improvement of the programme needs to be done to give more positive impact to their language learning. It is hoped that the GIGvaganza does not only help students in learning grammar but apply the content in their language learning. Keywords: GIGvaganza, grammar, fun learning

AIMC-2018-SSH-473 DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCE AND CONSUMER OVER-INDEBTEDNESS Corresponding Author: Nur Hafidzah Idris Co-Authors: Fahmi Abdul Rahim, Shafinar Ismail UiTM Melaka Abstract Debt plays an essential role in people’s everyday life. Besides, it contributes to the development of the financial and economic sectors of the country (Fatoki, 2015). Household consumption theoretically stimulates the economic growth of a nation by generating revenue to the financial industry, employment and also business outcomes (Hammad, Abdullah, & Samsudin, 2016). However, having much debt will lead to some adverse effects which include slow GDP, the impact on financial institutions, and individuals’ difficulties (Schreiber et.al , 2010; Gathergood, 2012; D’Alessio & Iezzi, 2013). A recent study by (Idris et al. 2016), the researcher revealed that Malaysians currently are facing a high debt problem. Furthermore, with the advancement of digital technology (DTI) among Malaysians users, had a trigger to the situations of fear of missing out (FAMO), where the individual will spend to not missing out and be the same level as his/her social norms, such as peers and friends. This factor will contribute to over- indebtedness. Although previous studies have stated that the DTI affects to individual spending pattern, however, there is no study has considered the impact of DTI towards over-indebtedness. With regards to this limitation, thus this study will investigate whether DTI will significantly give effect to the individual over-indebtedness.

AIMC-2018-SSH-493 PARALEGALS AND WOMEN ACCESS TO JUSTICE : MAKING ACCESS TO JUSTICE OF WOMEN VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE EFFECTIVE Corresponding Author: Rima Hartanto Co-Authors: Siany Indria Liestyasari, Atik Catur Budiati Sebelas Maret University Abstract This study responds to the fact that the high number of violence against women (KtP) and the weakness of access to justice of women victims of violence, whereas the Government of Indonesia has issued various laws and regulations to protect women. This shows that the face of women, especially women victims of violence in law and social life in
2nd ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference (AIMC 2018) 12-13 May, Faculty of Management, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia 31 Indonesia is very complex. The main obstacle faced by women victims of domestic violence (KDRT) in Surakarta City in accessing justice is the low awareness and understanding of their legal rights. To assist the constraints faced by women victims of violence in accessing justice, the role of intermediaries in this paralegal becomes very important. Therefore, this study will explore the deepening of the role effectiveness and constraints faced by paralegals in the fulfillment of access to justice for women victims Violence in Surakarta City. The purpose of this study is to orient theoretical development on the study of violence against women and access to justice.This research uses qualitative socio-legal method that is interdisciplinary approach to law; Is an alternative approach to conduct an examination of legal studies that are doctrinal. In particular, there are three reasons why the role of paralegals is crucial in helping women victims of access to justice. First, paralegals play the role of "familiarization" of the legal system for poor and marginalized groups such as women victims of violence. Second, paralegals are more accessible to women's groups. In addition to being easy to find, legal services by paralegals are cheaper than similar services provided by lawyers or advocates. Third, paralegals influence the power relations and bargaining position of women groups that can be seen from reaction changes and other parties' responses including responses from government institutions and law enforcement agencies. In general, paralegals apply methods of empowerment, education and legal training and representatives of justice seekers. In addition to seeking justice seekers to obtain justice in a real sense, paralegals also build social movements capable of encouraging the settlement of cases and enforcement of women's rights. Constraints often faced by paralegals in assisting women victims of access to justice are the absence of formal legitimacy for paralegals in terms of legislation, the lack of funds owned by institutions where paralegals are sheltered and formal education level problems for uneven paralegals.

However, play is also influenced by children’s sensibilities with the environmental features, such as size, colour, form and texture. This study explores children’s sensibilities to the physical characteristics of their everyday landscape elements in three low-cost residential neighbourhoods in the Johor Bahru district of Malaysia. The study was conducted with 32 middle-childhood children consist of age between 6 to 12. They shared their play experiences through photographs, play journals, in-depth interviews and direct participatory observation. The data was analysed using NVivo11 and was then triangulated. The results show that children develop specific terms in explaining the physical characteristics of everyday landscape elements, such as using the word long to refer to big, colourless to refer to white, straight to refer to form and juicy to refer to the texture of rambutan fruits. Size recorded the highest percentage of word frequency described by children(37%), followed by texture (28%), colour (22%) and form (13%). They also were abled to recognize the potential of affordances base on the physical characteristics, in which 40 activities were reported to be affected by size, 39 activities by texture, 27 activities by colour and 18 activities by form. The findings suggest that children’s sensibilities to the physical characteristics of their everyday landscape are crucial for them to recognise the environmental affordances in their play. Therefore children’s sensibilities to the physical characteristics of their everyday landscape elements assist them to diversify the activities in their play Keywords: affordances; sensibilitie; everyday landscape; low cost housing; play

AIMC-2018-SSH-543 CORPUS-BASED: THE SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF COLLOCATED PREPOSITIONS IN THE HEADLINES OF MAJOR NIGERIAN NEWSPAPERS Corresponding Author: Ibrahim Bashir Co-Authors: Yunus Kamariah Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin Abstract One aspect of English grammar that is very hard for second language users including Nigerians to master is prepositions. Not only that English prepositions are difficult, but they are also the most frequently used items in newspapers that play an important role to signal political and cultural discourses. Also, some words which are prepositions also function as conjunctions. The present study explored collocation of English prepositions “in”, “on” and “at” in the headlines of the four major Nigerian newspapers. It further examined the communicative functions of collocated prepositions in the grammatical strings. The corpus-based approach has enabled frequencies at the inter- lexemic (word form) level and at the intra-lexemic (usage type) level, to be examined across the three varieties. The usage type analysis utilise Dirven‟s (1993) cognitive lexical semantic to categories the prepositional data. The concordance findings revealed that Vanguard, a major Nigerian newspaper, has the highest percentage of the usage of target prepositions 26.86% out of 21 issues in the construction of headlines, seconded by Punch 24.92%, then the Sun 24.27% and lastly the Nation as the lowest 23.95%. Moreover, it revealed from the study that the usage of the prepositional form, newspaper practitioners are neglecting preposition „at‟ and placed it with „in‟ to indicate position whether specific or wide location. Indeed, despite using the preposition „in‟ as a replica to „at‟ and also adopted the forward position to express uncertainty in regards to subject and object.
AIMC-2018-SSH-545 WOWING YOUR POTENTIAL EMPLOYER THRU VIDEO RESUME Corresponding Author: Noor Azlinda Zainal Abidin Co-Authors: Rozie Zakariah UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG Abstract Convincing potential employers through a well-written resume can be a tough task for most job applicants. Some university courses were introduced to help students to produce a good resume. With the emergence of technology in education, video resume is introduced to help students to present themselves better and also to ‘win’ their prospective employers through a 2-minute video resume. In this study, students were introduced to both traditional resume and also video resume. They were then interviewed to ask for their perception on the use of video resume in presenting themselves. Findings from the study revealed that students preferred video resume compared to traditional resume. This is because there are more opportunities for them to reveal themselves other than putting up their achievements. It is also found that the use of video resume helps them to present themselves creatively and boost their confidence in speaking. Being able to persuade their potential employers through video resume is seen as a great opportunity and this will certainly break the ‘coldness’ of a typical and traditional way of writing a resume.

AIMC-2018-SSH-548 A SURVEY TO EXPLORE THE PROBLEMS OF UNDERGRADUATE ESL LEARNERS FROM ENGLISH- MEDIUM AND URDU-MEDIUM BACKGROUND Corresponding Author: Amna Ahsan University of Management and Technology Abstract Second language acquisition is a complex process. The ESL learners face many problems in the process of learning. The education system of Pakistan is not unified. Students mainly attend two types of schools with different languages as medium of instruction. Usually private sector schools use English as a medium of instruction for students and Government sector schools prefer Urdu Language as a medium of instruction. Urdu is national language of Pakistan. Students learn English as a second language to progress in academic programs and for jobs as well. In order to address this problem a survey was conducted to explore the problems of ESL learners in English language writing. It had been explored that ESL learners use different techniques to improve their English language writing. Data is collected from 140 undergraduate students of a private university in Lahore, Pakistan. Data was collected through the questionnaire survey method. A qualitative research methodology was used to explore the undergraduate student’s major problems in English language writing. Results were displayed in tables in the form of frequencies. Findings showed that medium of instruction effects the second language learning. Analysis of the views of two groups revealed the points of strengths and weaknesses in their writing. The English-medium students face problems in creation of cohesive and coherent text. Urdu-medium students also face problems in sentence constructions by using grammar rules and vocabulary. English-medium students prefer novel reading and newspaper reading to improve English writing while Urdu medium students emphasize on the practice of grammar rules as well. This research has implications both for educators and teachers of English language. Keywords: ESL learners, Second Language Acquisition, Urdu-medium, English-medium, English as a second language

Faisal Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract Mangrove forest is one of the essential components of the ecosystem in the coastal region that occupies a transition area around the tropical and subtropical beaches and it provides a broad range of ecological services like protection of shorelines and river banks from erosion, flood regulation, violent storms and hurricanes, as well as a mechanism for biodiversity maintenance. However, the human activities such as urban development as well as land and coastal pollution have currently threatened the mangrove areas worldwide. The pressure on mangrove forests become a crucial issue because it can contribute significantly to carbon emissions sequestration and regulate the intrusion of seawater or abrasion. Among the issues highlighted in this research are i) decline of mangrove areas due to development activities, ii) zero price value of mangrove areas and iii) lack of understanding in valuing the mangrove areas. This paper reports on a study of willingness to pay (WTP1) and willingness to participate (WTP2) for the maintenance of mangrove forests in Kampung Sungai Melayu, Johor Bahru of Iskandar Malaysia by mangrove-dependent and non-dependent residents and socio-economic factors influencing it. The Pearson correlation test shows there was a weak correlation between perception and willingness to participate (r= .464), significant at p Keywords: Mangrove forest; Willingness to Pay (WTP); Willingness to Participate (WTP); Direct use value; Mangrove forest management AIMC-2018-SSH-577 CRITICAL FACTORS AND BARRIERS OF LOW-CARBON SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT IN HAT YAI CITY THAILAND Corresponding Author: Thitichaya Boonsom Prince of Songkla University Abstract Low-carbon society has contributed to climate change mitigation, as a solution for reducing CO2 emissions that result from human activities.In some cities of developed countries, there has been the successful implementation of a low-

In the current study it was sought to develop the academic writing skills of the ESL undergraduates’ in a CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) environment. The participants were 53 intermediate level undergraduates from General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University in Sri Lanka. They were divided into two groups; CALL and in-class. The purpose of introducing the in-class learning was to comparatively measure the effectiveness of online learning for academic writing. A need analysis, questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. Pre and post tests were used to comparatively measure the performance of the participants. The data were analyzed using mix method approach. The findings imply that even though the in-class learning was preferred for academic writing by the participants, their performance indicates that the CALL was more effective for academic writing. Yet due concern should be given to address the issues such as technical failures, inflexible time slots, difficulties in communication and inexperience nature of the learners to work in Moodle, to enhance ESL learners’ online academic writing skills. The findings and conclusions in the current study can be used in future by language educators as a tool in developing ESL learners’ online academic writing skills.

AIMC-2018-SSH-617 THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF BUS SYSTEM IN UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA Corresponding Author: Zakiah Ponrahono Co-Authors: Nur Shazreena Mat Shukri , Rosta Harun, Zakiah Ponrahono , Mohd Yusoff Ishak and Ahmad Zaharin Aris Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract This paper focuses on assessing the level of service (LOS) of bus system offered at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) campus. The rapid growth of infrastructure development within the campus has resulted in high concentration of people and huge traffic volume. As an institution that put major emphasis on transportation plan to achieve sustainable campus mobility, it is important for UPM to implement a practical yet green transport policy that adopt public vehicles as the main mode. This would also support UN Sustainable Development Goals and create a greener campus environment. However, the existing bus system provided in UPM faces the issue of connectivity and mobility affecting the level of satisfaction among users that requires a mitigation measure to improve. Thus, the assessment of Level of Service (LOS) was conducted by using the qualitative and quantitative methods to identify level of satisfaction among users. The LOS assessment was employed on the aspects of fixed-route hour service, fixed-route service frequency, passengers’ thresholds and speed of buses. Furthermore, the onboard survey was conducted to evaluate the satisfaction level among users. The results suggested that whilst the bus services levels are less than those aspired by the passengers, there are many improvement areas to be prioritised in the near future for a more sustainable transportation system in the university.

Thirty (55) semi structured interviews data derived from snowball purposive sampling and governance network theory as underlying theory are employed to analyse the data based on subjective qualitative approach. The overall results indicate that interaction has an impact on key actors’ involvement in the follow- up practice. The responses gathered from the interviewees demonstrate that involvement of key actors are more important with some other possible factors. Based on the above situation, this research argued that, effective communication and engaging right authority or external actors are important in enhancing the effectiveness of follow- up practice. The findings suggest, audit institution need to make more key actors to involve in order to solve complex audit issues, particularly the regulators such as enforcement agencies. The regulator expect and hope the auditors to
2nd ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference (AIMC 2018) 12-13 May, Faculty of Management, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia 44 share important first-hand information about audit issues as soon as possible. For regulators, early involvement considered more appropriate rather than as what practiced now. Regulators want to secure sufficient evidence so that further investigation and action can be taken so as not to lose important evidence and avoid dealing with outdated issues. Findings from this study should be used to improve the practices of follow-up in various aspect (secure confidentiality without undermining integrity). Various actors’ involvement by means of interaction are timely and should be enhanced in terms of information sharing and overcoming problem related to actor role and involvement. This is the first study that employed governance network theory to explore the nature and extent of follow- up on performance auditing issues involving various actors’ interaction in the public sector audit environment.

AIMC-2018-SSH-631 RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF PROPERTY IN THE ERA OF DIGITALISATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE MALAYSIAN ANTI-FAKE NEWS BILL 2018 Corresponding Author: Wai Wai Wong Multimedia University Abstract Fake news has dominated the social media. In response, the Malaysian Anti-Fake News Bill has been passed swiftly and it brought about awareness as well as other issues like the spread of unverified news and information. Section 6 of the Bill imposes a duty on the person who is found in ‘possession’ of fake news or such publication that contains fake news. However, the word ‘possession’ is not defined. The word ‘possession’ connotes the traditional notion of possession under the property concept in which it will be incompatible with the intangible, transferable, sharable and non-exhaustive nature of fake news or information over the internet. The objective of this paper is to critically examine the appropriate meaning of ‘possession’ under Section 6 by referring to the in-depth analysis under the concept of property and its evolution in tandem with social, economic and technological changes. News in the era of digitalisation is essentially made out of information and digital resources that are not only intangible, but also transferable, shareable and non-exhaustive. Hence, the notion of possession which derived from the traditional concept of property is not applicable to the unique nature of ‘news’ in digital form. There is a need for a reconceptualization of property and the notion of ‘possession’. Such new concept of property should not only describe ‘property’ as things but rather as ‘rights’. The meaning of ‘possession’ should go beyond the traditional physical possession and custody. The focus is on the owner’s control, exclusivity and access of news and information. This paper further examines how the new notion of possession ought to be applied in the context of Malaysian Anti- Fake News laws.

AIMC-2018-SSH-632 MULTIMODAL ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL POSTERS BEFORE ELECTION CAMPAIGN (2018) IN PAKISTAN Corresponding Author: FAIZA ABID Co-Authors: Rida sarfraz, Naheed Ashfaq, Aisha Niazi, University of Management and Technology Abstract The aim of this research paper is to analyze the key political posters made for the campaigns of Pakistani political parties like Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) and Muslim League Noon (PML-N). This research will focus on nine significant posters of Political parties in the elections that will take place in 2018 along with the election campaigns’ that are rolling throughout the country. Moreover, the study will supremely focus on the representation of their leader through posters and later on it will pinpoint the similarities and possible differences between each of the poster especially emphasizing on what they denote. This is important in order to observe the main linguistic and visual strategies used to persuade the audience to vote that party and to highlight the power of the politician. While keeping in mind the cult of persuasion we must concentrate that how these parties grip the audience/ voters to an emotional extent that they actually get seriously attached with the concerned party. Critical discourse analysis tools will be helpful to identify the main discursive strategies employed to persuade the Pakistani population to vote in a certain direction. Van Leeuwen’s (2008), social actor theory will facilitate the understanding of how participants are represented. Finally, the main tools of Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar (2006) will be applied for the analysis of the images. The study reveals that politicians are represented in a consistently positive way. These politicians have been symbolically treated as to inspire the masses and presented as warriors and saviors that can lift up the misery from people. These posters have chronic impact on the psychology of people that instigate them to vote or to support their respective party. People are persuaded to vote for the party they represent because they trust them as political leaders. The term leadership under the denotation of these posters has also elevated the gravity of the notion of patriotic streak mingled with specific political party’s motto. The study, thus, points out that political posters are a powerful tool used in election campaigns to highlight the power of political parties. Furthermore, this study will also probe various tactics that have been implied by the political parties in their posters to create a powerful discourse that hit audience emotionally and provoke them for specific action.

It can be synthesized from various opinions that all learners of Japanese language must master Kanji to communicate with the Japanese, particularly in the written. The number of Kanji non-native speakers who study Japanese language need to master depends on time allocation and their level. Kanji teaching is commonly considered as difficult because most Japanese learners use language which contains no Kanji “hikanjikei” ????. They find it difficult to memorize almost identical kanji characters with diverse types of scribbles. Besides, students must study thousands of kanji characters. Takebe (1998:2) explains that most students who study Japanese language as the foreign language admit that the most difficult aspects in learning Japanese language are auxiliaries, polite language, and kanji. Strategies in teaching learning process play as the crucial part in classroom activities because those help teachers to create learning atmosphere suitable for achieving teaching goals. In addition, strategies in teaching learning process which teachers have chosen and used encourage students’ active participation during learning activities in the classroom. Strategy can be defined as one’s internal ability to think, solve problems, and make decision. It means that learning process encourages learners to foster their unique ways to analyze and solve problems which might arise in decision making process. It enables students to solve problems during learning process in the classroom such as memorizing thousand complex kanji characters, and speaking in polite language of saonkeigo and kenjogo in Japanese language. These two problems are the examples of problems encountered by students who learn Japanese language. To solve the problems, students must find the most suitable and effective strategy for them. Learning strategy is personal, so every individual must find different strategies than others. Finding these strategies is the invisible mental process. Learning strategies can be identified from the students’ behaviour manifestation. Therefore, a learning model which introduces the strategies of Japanese letters, especially kanji, is necessary for the beginner. This paper aims at proposing a learning model which is integrated with the courses of Goi Moji. The learning model introduces learning strategies in learning kanji which is appropriate with the students’ needs and characteristics.

AIMC-2018-SSH-865 A PROPOSED FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING VIA FUZZY AHP Corresponding Author: Waseem Sattar Co-Authors: Fatemeh Mirzae Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Abstract Assessing students’ performance is the main means to improve students’ learning and can play an important role in strengthening the evaluation process in task-based language teaching. This paper proposes a novel framework for students’ performance assessment based on fuzzy AHP method. Specifically, after determining dimension and sub-dimensions of learning, the students’ performance assessment framework can be established. In the framework, the dimensions and sub-dimensions can be selected by experts’ opinion. Employing the fuzzy AHP method in group decision-making can facilitate a consensus of decision-makers to reduce uncertainty. The application of this framework can make the assessment results more scientific, accurate and objective. It is expected that this work may serve as an assistance tool for members of higher education institutions in improving the educational quality level.

Sadek Mustaffa d University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat Abstract Strategic risk management helps sports professionals in controlling, avoiding and minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries in sports. This strategic management affects the personality, cognitive, and individual emotional features in managing risks. Developed countries like Australia and the United Kingdom have adopted standardized sports risk strategic management strategies. This indicates that organizations that offer or implement sports programs or activities require sports professionals such as administrators, sports instructors or instructors who have the basic competence of SRSM in a knowledgeable aspect, that is clear and skilled theories and philosophies and has the necessary attributes of the attitude to handle program. This study was conducted for the exploration of sport risk strategic management (ESRSM) elements. This study focuses on the dominant SRSM. This study also confirmed whether the resulting element was an element in determining the SRSM criteria. In determining the element, the Classic Test Theory (CTT) using qualitative methods through two approaches is used (i) based on the analysis of the documents by making a literature review decision; and (ii) interviews. Rasch's model element analysis using the main component analysis on residuals is used in this study to ascertain and validate elements or elements. It is possible to determine the construcibility of constructs to identify the possibility that other elements may affect the element. Based on the findings from document analysis and interviews show the dominant elements and dimensions of the SRSM of sports professionals, is the identification, assessment, selection and implementation of operations. With this SRSM it can improve the safe sports environment and can improve sports performance. Through the analysis of the elements conducted, it is found that all the elements produced have met the criteria set by the Rasch model, the percentage of the raw variance is explained by the measurement of more than 40%, the percentage of variance not explained in the first

The current study explored the therapeutic alliance between recovering counselors (RC) and their clients in a non-governmental drug treatment and rehabilitation centre. It aims to explore the therapeutic alliance of recovering counselors – client relationships and interaction that influence recovering journey. In this study, recovering counselor (RC) refers to experienced and qualified counselors who have completed a Therapeutic Community (TC) program. An in-depth case study was conducted involving 3 pairs of counselors and clients who volunteered to participate in the study. The data were collected through 16 in–depth interview sessions, observations, and personal reflections. The qualitative data suggest that the experience of therapeutic alliance was represented by three major themes; 1) therapeutic relationship, 2) spirituality, and 3) successful recovery and behavior change. Each pair of counselors-clients reflects a different level of therapeutic experience as the clients make progress from primary treatment to re-entry phases. The findings help to enhance the knowledge on how a therapeutic alliance helps both counselors and clients to flourish as a progressive individual. This study suggested that recovering counselors become a role model for clients to sustain their recovery and motivation for behavior change. However, further investigations are needed to support the current findings. Implications for future study are also discussed. Keywords: therapeutic alliance, spirituality, behavior change

AIMC-2018-SSH-890 BEGGING FOR SURVIVAL: THE NIGHTMARE OF THE ALMAJIRIS STREET CHILDREN IN KANO STATE, NIGERIA. Corresponding Author: Habibu Babajo University Utara Malaysia Abstract The existence of children, begging around the streets, public places and private homes have become a habitual disgusting incidence in the Kano state metropolis and other major cities of the northern Nigeria. The mundane tradition of informal Qura’nic school system has largely contributed in the creation of the cycle of poverty on the Kano state street children popularly called the Almajiris, and transforming them into habitual beggars which has a negative effect on their social, economic and emotional development. This study investigates the problems associated with the Almajiris street begging through the lens of qualitative research method. In-depth interviews and focus group discussion was conducted for the study, and the data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically through the use of Nvivo software application. Twenty-one informants (21) participated in the study, which include; Nine Almajiris, three parents of the Almajiris, three former Almajiris, three Almajiris teachers and three people living with the Almajiris. The findings of the study revealed that despite the agony of the absence of parental care and public hostilities, the Almajiris survives on an insufficient leftover food, eating once or twice a day and in many instances go to bed with an empty stomach. Finally the study suggests that the governments, religious leaders and local communities should develop a new strategy with a view to stop the Almajiris begging in Kano state and Nigeria at large.

Taman Alam Kuala Selangor has been acclaimed to be one of the well – known nature park with a major ecosystem of mangrove forest, the habitat of mangrove plants and varieties species of birds. Mangrove forest is among the most productive biodiversity wetlands on earth which reflect multiple – use of ecosystem providing a wide range of products and services. It is rich in natural resources such as coastlines, mangrove estuary, alluvial soil, flora, and fauna. However, these unique coastal tropical forests are among the most threatened habitats in the world since most of the people overlooked the crucial role played by the forest. Unfortunately, independence of the mangrove forest ecosystem faces many challenges from rising sea levels, development activities, chemical pollution and increasingly threatened biological diversity. The destruction of mangrove forests is three to five times faster than the loss of global forests with a serious impact on ecology and socio-economic. This paper explores on the benefits that mangroves could provide to the communities since they are still people who are not guilty in disturbing the mangrove resources with so many activities without realizing that these activities if continued without proper management, will later become extinction.Keywords: Kuala Selangor Nature Park, Mangrove Forest, Community

AIMC-2018-SSH-930 POLICING FREEDOM TO PEACEFUL ASSEMBLIES IN MALAYSIA: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE UNITED KINGDOM AND AUSTRALIA. Corresponding Author: Nadia Nabila Mohd Saufi Co-Authors: Saslina Kamaruddin Management & Science University Abstract In Malaysia, there have been various arguments between three conflicting laws alike which are; the Police Act 1967, the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, and the Federal Constitution. These 3 different laws are contradictory and are not standardised in one straight line which has caused the authority of police in Malaysia in policing peaceful assembly to be questioned. These flaws caused the position of the police to be afloat in the air resulting to the police not knowing how to properly execute the powers given to them in a correct manner. As a result, basic human rights are being violated wherein people cannot voice out their opinions publicly. Unfortunately, this topic has not been widely discussed in Malaysia because when it comes to freedom of speech and assembly, the Malaysian government has not fully exercised the term ‘democracy’. Hence, the findings of this paper are pertinently scarce. Given such problems, this paper seeks to examine the legal position in Malaysia as compared to that in the United Kingdom and Australia with regards to police powers in policing public order. This paper adopts a doctrinal legal analysis and secondary data of which the online database comprises of articles, journal and books will be analysed. Essentially, this topic should be in a spotlight as it is a matter of public interest and the Malaysian government can do various interventions to suit the current situation in Malaysia.

Prof. Dr. Sarimah Shamsudin, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Johor Bahru. (Mornita Anak Deria)Language Academy, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 54100 Kuala Lumpur. (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sarimah Shamsudinb)*Corresponding author Email: [email protected] AbstractText comprehension is the essence of reading. It plays a vital role in learning especially in the acquisition, sharing, and construction of knowledge. Many researchers have highlighted that metacognitive strategies are critically important aspects of skilled reading. Metacognition is basically referred to thinking about thinking. In the field of reading, metacognitive reading strategies are those activities that make readers aware of their thinking as they engage in reading tasks (Meniado, 2016). Since reading is a cognitive enterprise, readers must apply metacognitive knowledge and must invoke conscious and deliberate strategies in order to achieve comprehension of text successfully (Sheorey and Mokhtari, 2001). In this study, we will present the findings of the research in which concentrating on metacognitive reading strategies used by students of Politeknik Kuching Sarawak when reading English texts. From the think aloud analysis, it was revealed that comprehension problems are the result of the students’ limited strategy repertoires and poor strategy choice and comprehension monitoring. From the results of the study, we concluded that teaching metacognitive reading strategies should be taken into account in developing students’ reading comprehension.

AIMC-2018-SSH-949 COGNITIVE TESTING OF A POLITICAL SKILL SCALE IN A SAMPLE OF TEACHER-LEADERS FROM HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Corresponding Author: Bala Salisu Co-Authors: Siti Rahmah Awang Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Abstract Introduction: Literature on organizational politics abound in measures of political behaviour, attitude towards politics, and perceived degree of politicisation. However, there are few measures on political skill, with the Political Skill Inventory (PSI) being the benchmark measure. Existence of alternative measures suggests that the political skill sampling domain is yet to be fully explored, and this may explain the confusion in the field’s empirical literature. This study used cognitive testing to pretest a new Political Skill Scale (PSS) developed from the pooled items of the PSI, a politics factor, and a three-item ingratiatory measure. Methodology: Cognitive interviews were conducted to test the 14-item PSS in a sample of 36 teacher-leaders drawn from 9 polytechnics situated in the Northeast Nigeria. Results: The result of our analysis revealed that participants had problems understanding reverse coded items. They also felt constrained by the 5-point Likert-like response anchors, and a few expressed doubts on the meaning of “political skill.” The result was used to revise item wordings and removed contentious ones to arrive at the new PSS. Contribution/originality: This work contributes towards contextual mapping of the political skill construct in an African setting. It also offers a new political skill measure.

2nd ASIA International Multidisciplinary Conference (AIMC 2018) 12-13 May, Faculty of Management, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia 72 practical work. It is therefore a priority for these future teachers to master and remember what they have learned in the university because they are able to help them when they want to convey to students in KV later. Therefore, lecturers need to use appropriate approaches to ensure that students understand a lesson so they can remember easily and longer, namely using Project Based Learning (PjBL). Hence, the main objective of this study is to look into the impact of PJBL in improving the retention of knowledge and skills of students who are also the future teachers in KV. The sample of this study consisted of two groups of fourth year students who attended the Education and Technology (Mechanical Engineering) courses. This study used quasi experimental study design, in which the Pretest- Posttest design was used to look at the effects of PjBL in term of memory retention period of the students. Fully qualitative method was used, in which the students in both group were observed and interviewed in order to gain additional findings. The findings show that the students in the experimental group were having improved knowledge and skills retention as 81.8% obtained score above 80 in the Posttest, whereas only 14.3% of the students in the control group obtained score above 80. The findings also showed that the main factor that improved their knowledge and skills retention was the requirement for the students to use problem solving skills during the project works. Thus, PjBL is a suitable learning method to improve the knowledge and skills retentions for the students. Keywords: Knowledge retention; TVE; Vocational
