As BNM has pointed out, the industry’s annual growth rate has reduced from double digit to single digit expansion. Calls have been made for greater broadening of the offering mindset-to extend beyond compliance, to deliver value propositions not just to financial consumers, but also to the wider stakeholders within the society and economy at large. Malaysia’s IF sector also needs to move beyond short -term objectives to take a long-term view, with performance measurement based on both financial as well as no-financial aspects such as people and the planet. Key stakeholders-consumers, employees and the public-should be more proactive in implementing an impact-based approach that fosters good conduct. After all, a main principle of IF is to take on sustainable, interest-free projects with high returns to be distributed to stakeholders, thus maximizing the social benefits and bringing prosperity to the economy.

  • Trio Who Quit Still Umno Reps, Insists New MB Malaysiakini.Com May 14, 2014
    Trio who quit still Umno reps, insists new MB MalaysiaKini.com May 14, 2014 Newly-minted Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman has insisted the three BN state assemblypersons who quit to become independents are still Umno members. "The speaker has not received anything (resignations from Umno) therefore I take it that (their resignations) are not verified yet. "All of them including (former Terengganu MB) Ahmad Said are still (Umno assemblypersons)," he told a press conference after clocking in for the first day of work at Wisma Darul Iman. As such, Razif (right) ruled out using his powers to dissolve the state assembly, stating: "It does not arise". He also brushed aside PAS' call to dissolve the state assembly, adding: "They are doing what they always do.” The BN Terengganu government was on the verge of collapse after Ahmad Said led a series of resignations shortly after he was replaced by Razif as menteri besar. Ahmad Said, who is Kijal state assemblyperson as well as Ajil state assemblyperson Ghazali Taib and Bukit Besi state assemblyperson Roslee Daud had yesterday quit Umno to become independents. This prompted a mad scramble to bring the disgruntled representatives back as it left BN with only 14 representatives to Pakatan Rakyat's 15 on top of three independents. Roslee had since returned to BN's fold. MB downplays Najib meeting Razif, who appeared upbeat at work today, said he would temporarily use his office on the sixth floor of the state administrative building where he previously served as state exco for science, technology and innovation; energy, green technology and water.

  • The Hudud Controversy in Contemporary Malaysia: a Study of Its Proposed Implementation in Kelantan and Terengganu
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 02 - Issue 01, www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 54-60 The Hudud Controversy in Contemporary Malaysia: A Study of Its Proposed Implementation in Kelantan and Terengganu R. Sivaperegasam P.Rajanthiran (Dr)1 Abstract: This paper explores and examines Hudud punishments in Islamic penal system, and is specifically purposed to analyse the proposed actualisation of the Hudud law in the two Malay-Muslim dominated states of Kelantan and Terengganu in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This paper is legal normative with descriptive-qualitative approach on both primary and secondary resources in order to obtain a judicial view of the subject matter by employing legal-theoretical and comparative analysis. In Malaysia, the Syariah Criminal Enactment (II) 1993 of Kelantan and the Syariah Criminal Enactment 2003 of Terengganu (as proposed by PAS) allow the application of Hudud laws into the above mentioned states. However, the enforcement of the above in both these states have been suspended indefinitely as UMNO claims these laws are inconsistent with the Federal Constitution - the supreme law of the Federation. This is because the enactment of penal laws are within the jurisdiction of the federal authority and not the state. Furthermore, the criminal jurisdiction of the Syariah Court has been restricted by the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, a federal law. The arguments in relation to the implementation of Hudud laws in Malaysia is an ongoing political-dispute between PAS and UMNO even to the present moment. Upon examining the facts related, this paper arrives at a point where it confirms the unsuitability on the actualization of the Hudud law presently not only in Kelantan and Terengganu but in contemporary Malaysia as a whole.
