SINTESIS HISTORICA Y POLITICA Los británicos se establecieron en el actual territorio de Malasia y Singapur en el siglo XIX y con la firma del Tratado Anglo-Holandés en 1825 se definieron las fronteras entre las Indias Orientales Holandesas (Indonesia) y British Malaya. Fueron los británicos quienes introdujeron mano de obra de origen indio y chino para trabajar en las plantaciones de caucho y las minas de estaño, constituyendo la base de la actual sociedad multiétnica. La Federación de Malaya se formó el 31 de agosto de 1957, día de la independencia del Reino Unido y reemplazó a la Unión Malaya y Tunku Abdul Rahman se convirtió en el primer Primer Ministro. El 16 de septiembre de 1963, Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak y Singapur forman Malasia, pero Singapur dejó la federación el 9 de agosto de 1965. Los 13 estados que conforman Malasia están representados en un Parlamento bicameral que consiste de una Cámara de Senadores y una Cámara de Diputados. Todos los estados malasios peninsulares están gobernados por Sultanes con carácter hereditario, excepto Malaca, Penang, Sabah y Sarawak que tienen gobernadores designados por el Gobierno Central. La Organización Nacional de Malayos Unidos o UMNO, constituido en partido político, gobierna el país desde la independencia ganando las elecciones y formando coaliciones gubernamentales. El liderazgo del Primer Ministro, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad que gobernó durante 22 años (1981-2003), sentó las bases para la diversificación de la economía. El Jefe de Estado es el Rey, cuyo título oficial es: Yang di-Pertuan Agong. De acuerdo a la Constitución el Rey se elige de manera rotativa cada 5 años entre los 9 sultanes del país. Actualmente el titular es Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, Sultan del Estado de Kedah, 7 Embajada de la República Argentina en Malasia Guía de Negocios de Malasia, edición 2016/17 desde el 13 de diciembre de 2011, habiendo sido designado por el Consejo de Regentes. Su mandato vence en diciembre de 2016. El actual Jefe de Gobierno es el Primer Ministro Y.A.B. Dato' Sri Mohd NAJIB bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak quien asumió en abril de 2009 y fue reelegido en las elecciones generales de mayo de 2013 por un período de 5 años. Las próximas elecciones generales deben celebrarse antes de mayo de 2018 teniendo el gobierno la prerrogativa de adelantarlas. El Poder Legislativo consiste de un Parlamento bicameral: un Senado o Dewan Negara (70 miembros; 44 designados por el Jefe de Estado, 26 fijados por las legislaturas estatales) y la Cámara de Representantes o Dewan Rakyat (222 miembros elegidos por voto popular por un termino de cinco años). Las últimas elecciones parlamentarias tuvieron lugar el 5 de mayo de 2013.

  • Factors Influencing the Intention to Use Mobile Shopping on Smartphones Among Malay and Non-Malaysian Chinese Students in Iium
    FACTORS INFLUENCING THE INTENTION TO USE MOBILE SHOPPING ON SMARTPHONES AMONG MALAY AND NON-MALAYSIAN CHINESE STUDENTS IN IIUM BY CAI YONGFANG A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science (Marketing) Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia AUGUST 2019 ABSTRACT Despite the significant literature on mobile shopping in international settings, much more needs to be explored and investigated in the case of Malaysia. This study investigated the factors influencing the intention to use mobile shopping on smartphones among Malay and Chinese students in IIUM. It adopted a quantitative approach by conducting surveys among consumers in IIUM based on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This research shows that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived privacy, perceived trust, and perceived enjoyment are key determinants influencing consumers’ attitude towards an intention to use mobile shopping. The questionnaire data are collected from 350 students in IIUM. Partial Least Squares (PLS) is employed to test the research model and hypotheses. The findings reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived trust, and perceived enjoyment have a direct and significant positive influence on attitude, while perceived privacy has an insignificant impact on attitude. Also, all independent variables used in this study have an indirect positive impact on the intention mediated by attitude, and only perceived privacy does not have a positive impact on intention mediated by attitude. Therefore, the findings indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived trust, perceived enjoyment and consumer’s attitude are factors affecting the intention to use mobile shopping on smartphones among Malay and Chinese students in IIUM.
