Like the past seminars, SSPIS 2017 focused on three main disciplines of pure arts, applied arts and applied sciences. Social Sciences is not a stand-alone discipline but trans-disciplinary, encompassing several fields including anthropology, sociology, social work, development, planning and management, economics, political science, psychology, education, language, humanities, communication, mass media and housing, building and planning. The trans-disciplinary nature of social sciences allows for the weaving of new knowledge, and at the same time, allows researchers to move beyond known boundaries, associety’s problems are far too complex and cannot be solved only within the domain of one discipline. Hence, SSPIS is the right platform for all participants to share knowledge, findings, and ideas across many different fields. The SSPIS 2017 attracted a total of 110 research papers from various institutions and organizations from around the world. All the full papers were subjected to double-blind peer reviews. Out of 110 research papers, only 22 papers were selected to be included in the Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar that will be submitted to Thomson Reuters for the Conference Proceedings Citation Index. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to all authors and participants for their contribution and support. We would also like to thank all paper reviewers for their invaluable input and constructive comments in reviewing the papers. Finally, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the staff and post graduate students of School of Social Sciences, USM for having supported and successfully organized the SSPIS2017. Thank you Nadhrah A Kadir Abdul Rais Abdul Latiff Azmil Mohd Tayeb Intan Nooraini Haji Zainol Maslina Mohammed Shaed Law Chee Hong Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Radin Firdaus Radin Badaruddin Siti Rahyla Rahmat Editors Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar (SSPIS) December 2017 7 EDITORIAL BOARD Editors Nadhrah A Kadir Abdul Rais Abdul Latiff Azmil Mohd Tayeb Intan Nooraini Haji Zainol Maslina Mohammed Shaed Law Chee Hong Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Radin Firdaus Radin Badaruddin Siti Rahyla Rahmat 8 New Look, New Identity: Re-Inventing Muslim Women Through Fashion Sharifah Khatreena Nuraniah Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail & Nurazzura Mohamad Diah Department of Sociology and Anthropology, KIRKHS International Islamic University Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country that admires traditions including its traditional costumes. Muslims living in Malaysia are encouraged to incorporate the Malay traditional wear in schools and offices, especially those under the government sector. However, globalization has resulted in many contesting ideas about what is right to wear and what garments are unacceptable. Through rapid development of the Islamic fashion industry and from its designers to modelling agencies, fashion revolution has empowered women in ways of projecting their personal identities with various choices of fashion available. While being influenced highly by the global consumer culture, understanding of Islam and its beliefs on “covering” has created new interpretations that reject traditional perceptions of women’s subjugation and submissiveness. Thus, the objective of this paper is to identify how Muslimwomen reinvent their identities through fashion within spaces. Secondary materials that emphasize on fashion issues and their effects on identity among Muslim women are studied. This paper reveals that clothing becomes specifically regulated and scrutinized within spaces. The understanding of covering is becoming more individualistic, personalized and accustomed to one’s own identity formation. Nevertheless, tensions in rising consumer desires in participating within the global fashion movements of the West become activated as one’s obedience to stay loyal to the local culture and it perseverance

Bagi beliau ini tindakan mencuri kemenangan, bukan kerana sokongan rakyat tetapi kerana design (rekabentuk sempa- dan pilihanraya) dan mapping (pemetaan). SELEPAS mencuri wang 1MDB, kini usaha dibuat untuk mencuri keputusan pilihan raya pula melalui persempa- danan semula kawasan pilihan raya. Kajian mendapati Barisan Nasional (BN) akan mengam- bil alih Selangor dan mengembalikan kuasa dua pertiga BN di negara ini dalam pilihanraya umum akan datang jika persempadanan semula kawasan pilihan raya digunakan dalam pilihan raya umum ke 14 nanti. Ia boleh berlaku jika ia berjalan tanpa tentangan menyeluruh dari rakyat terhadap BN dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang. Bagaimanapun di Kelantan, persempadanan ini tidak akan jejaskan hasrat rakyat untuk menukar kerajaan, dakwa AMANAH.

  • (Amanah) and Leaving Parti Islam Semalaysia (PAS): the Case Study of Amanah Party Activists in Terengganu
    Joining Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) and Leaving Parti Islam seMalaysia (PAS): The Case Study of Amanah Party Activists in Terengganu Wan Rohila Ganti W.A.Ghapara,*, Che Hamdan C.M.Razalib aSchool of Social and Economic Development, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu bFaculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Pahang Branch Email of corresponding uthor: [email protected] Abstract Party activists are assets to the political party. Their contributions to the party in terms of time, money and energy are undeniable. They are the strongest supporters of the parties and candidates during elections, very loyal and dedicated to the party and research shows that the more active members a party has in a constituency, the more votes it will win there. This paper explores the factors that drive individuals to become political party activists of a newly established party, Parti Amanah Negara – Amanah (National Trust Party). Then it is followed by a discussion on why do they leave the party (Parti Islam seMalaysia – PAS) they once became very active. The discussions are mainly guided by the General Incentive theory that suggests seven incentives that motivate individuals to become party activists. The last part briefly analyses the future and prospects of Parti Amanah Negara in the next 14th General Election, specifically in Terengganu, the PAS stronghold state. The respondents reveal that ideological differences between them and the former party are too great and they are more skeptical about the value of political engagement through PAS. This study also opposes the existing literature that the tendency for ideologically-extreme activists to leave the party is lower compared to the moderate activists since all the respondents were former active PAS activists in Terengganu and had been with party for years.
