  • Knowledge of Nonverbal Communication in Friday Sermons
    Knowledge of Nonverbal Communication in Friday Sermons Mohd Ala-uddin Othman1*; Zulazhan Ab Halim2; Mohd Shahrizal Nasir3; Mohd Fauzi Abd Hamid4; Mohd Firdaus Yahya5 1*Faculty of Languages and Communication, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). 1*[email protected] 2Faculty of Languages and Communication, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). 3Faculty of Languages and Communication, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). 4Faculty of Languages and Communication, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). 5Faculty of Languages and Communication, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). Abstract This study identified the level of nonverbal communication knowledge (KNV) among Friday sermon orators. Friday sermons are observed to be an important medium at conveying important messages and reminders to the Muslim community, which is held every Friday. The technique of delivering a sermon will have a great impact on the congregation who listens to the sermon. This is becasue an impactful verbal delivery which is accompanied nonverbally, will provide an optimal impact to its audience. The combination of nonverbal and verbal communication will also increase the effectiveness of the sermon. This is because KNV is an important factor in attracting the audience’s interest and attention at continuing to listen to the sermon while receiving the conveyed message. Therefore, KNV is essentially needed by an effective sermon orator. This study is a quantitative research, which used a survey method involving 82 orators who responded to the questionnaire in order to find out the level of their on KNV. The findings show that the KNV among these Friday sermon orators who are based in Hulu Terengganu District achieve an overall mean which is at a moderately high level of 3.42, namely physical appearance 3.72, limb movement 3.28, facial expression 3.28, occultic 3.09, vocal 3.52 and chronological 3.60.

  • The Emergence of Abandoned Paddy Fields in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 32, No.2, September 1994 The Emergence of Abandoned Paddy Fields in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia Tsuyoshi KATO* Introduction William Maxwell, a well-known colonial civil servant of British Malaya, wrote about the Negeri Sembilan Malays of the 1880s in the following way: A purely agricultural life requires that the cultivator be satisfied with poor fare and that his style of living be simple, modest and economical. As satisfying these conditions the Malays of Negri Sembilan are an almost an ideal peasantry [sic]. Their methods of [rice] cultivation are excellent, they preserve their ancient habits and traditions and they are satisfied with little. [quoted in AR KP 1912: 4]1) Martin Lister, first British Superintendent of Negeri Sembilan, reported in 1888: The registration of gardens and paddy fields at so early a stage in the [colonial] administration of these States [districts of Negeri Sembilan] is a matter for congratulation, as both in Johol and Tampin, lands formerly abandoned have received immediate attention on the part of the owners, in consequence of this light taxation and of a feeling of shame on the part of the owners to ignore the property which has descended to them from their ancestors. [Lister 1888: 1365-1366] The District Officer of Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, noted in 1912: Still the Kuala Pilah Malay lives in a style, simple, modest and economical; . .. The men have no scope to become fishermen; little scope and no inclination to work for wages; they are padi planters first, secondly cultivators of kampong [garden] and beyond that nothing, unless one except a very few special callings such as lembaga [clan head], pawang [village magician], kathi [Islamic official], goldsmith, bullock-carter and so on.
