  • Legal Framework on the Conservation Issue of Pulau Kukup National Park in Johor, Malaysia
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management eISSN: 2672-7226 Volume 16 Number 5, July 2021: 115-123 © Penerbit UMT LEGAL FRAMEWORK ON THE CONSERVATION ISSUE OF PULAU KUKUP NATIONAL PARK IN JOHOR, MALAYSIA LOH ING HOE1 AND CHONG JU LIAN2* 1School of Business and Management, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Vietnam, Handi Resco Building, 521 Kim Ma, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, Vietnam. 2Faculty of Science and Marine Environment & Institute of Tropical Biodiversity and Sustainable Development, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Submitted final draft: 74 September 2020 Accepted: 5 September 2020 http://doi.org/10.46754/jssm.2021.07.009 Abstract: The Ramsar Convention came into force on 21 December 1975, and Malaysia ratified the convention in 1994. As a party to the convention, Malaysia has shown its commitment by promoting seven Ramsar sites. Although the Ramsar sites have experienced human intervention and degradation over time, legislation in Malaysia has helped to promote the sustainable development of wetlands in Malaysia. In this paper, a critical analysis of the role of law in protecting and conserving Pulau Kukup Johor National Park as one of the Ramsar sites in Malaysia was conducted based on documents and newspaper- reports analysis. In addition, the prohibition of environmental impact assessment (EIA) to be conducted on any Ramsar site in Malaysia is also discussed. Results reveal the importance of legislation to conserve and protect wetlands in Malaysia. Keywords: Ramsar Convention, wetlands, sustainable, development, legislation. Introduction of income and livelihood for humans (Lamsal OThe Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the most et al., 2017).

  • State-Owned Enterprise (SOE): the Role of SOE Entrepreneurship in Nation-Building Efforts, 1970-2014
    State-Owned Enterprise (SOE): The Role of SOE Entrepreneurship in Nation-Building Efforts, 1970-2014 Fary Akmal Osman Since the early twentieth century, the study of entrepreneurship has been inspired by the Schumpeterian concept of entrepreneurship as innovator as well as an agent of change in the economy. Many emerging economies, particularly in Asia, established state-owned enterprises (SOE) as a national development strategy. Today, many SOEs operate using a variety of approaches and play active roles, including as cross-border investors. There are several SOEs in Malaysia at the federal and local government levels. This paper analyses the reasons for these SOE’s outstanding performance, focusing on the relationship between SOEs and entrepreneurship, the role of SOEs in cultivating local entrepreneurs, the characteristics embedded in Johor Corporation (JCorp) and how entrepreneurship changed over time. As a state enterprise in Malaysia, JCorp adopted a unique business position and investment strategy to become a major global player in its core enterprises. This study reveals that JCorp acting as an SOE entrepreneur successfully built an organisation with more than 250 local companies in various business sectors and services incorporated under a single umbrella. There are 379 directors within the group and a total workforce of about 63,000 people. Tremendous efforts were made by the SOE to educate Malay entrepreneurs and professionals through the enhancement of knowledge and skills, networking, sharing of experience, and management expertise. Introduction This research is motivated by the common observation in many countries, and throughout Asia that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have performed poorly or failed to perform at all.
