According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the industry accounted for 10.4% of global GDP and 319 million jobs, or 10% of total employment in 2018. Travellers travel with different purposes where some people travel for leisure or business while some travel due to specific interest such as medical or religion. Given the different purposes, tourism industry has been classified into various types to cater to the needs and preferences of all types of tourists. The following are the categories of tourism1: a. Leisure Under this purpose, travellers simply want to enjoy new experience of a destination and devoting their holiday to rest and relaxation.

  • Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr
    Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr. Kelvin Yii, Member of Parliament for Bandar Kuching I thank you for your questions and your efforts in increasing registration among people in your respective constituencies. I will take your questions in turn below. 1. What is the geographical distribution of those above 60 who have yet to register for the COVID19 vaccine? Currently, registration for those above 60 stands at 40.1%. It ranges from 56.8% in Putrajaya, to 22.9% in Sabah. For States with low registration numbers such as in Sabah, Kelantan (25.1%), Terengganu (29.4%), Kedah (30.9%) and Pahang (31.5%), we are working with MKN, NADMA and the state governments on an outreach programme to encourage people to register, particularly for senior citizens. The outreach programme is not only to help them register for PICK but also to convince them on why it is important for people their age to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We also assure them that the vaccines are safe, effective and if they have any religious concerns, we also reassure them that the vaccines are halal. We are also working with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development to register and vaccinate residents and caregivers at elderly care homes. Mobile vaccination teams will be sent to the care homes to vaccinate on site. 2. What steps have been taken to work with state governments in order to increase the vaccine registration rate? I have spoken to all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers virtually over the last month and a half.

Business zakat is a type of zakat applied to the business which comply with the conditions and nisab of zakat in a certain state. Arising research problem was of the unsatisfying performance in collection of business income in spite of progress in zakat collection in Malaysia indicating an increase every year. Objective of this research is to comprehend compliance behaviour of business zakat in micro enterprise firms in Sabak Bernam district using Theory of Planned Behaviour introduced by Ajzen (1991). Four main factors which are factor of religion, factor of attitude towards behaviour, factor of subjective norms, and factor of perceived behavioural control were accounted as the main factors for the implemented theory.

Terdapatnya meriam ini merupakan salah satu bukti wujudnya Kerajaan Kesultanan Selangor dan unsur penjajahan Belanda dan Inggeris di negeri Selangor. Kepentingan meriam ini menunjukkan bahawa kewujudan persenjataan demi mempertahankan kedaulatan raja dan negeri daripada ancaman musuh telah lama wujud. Dokumentasi ini membuktikan bahawa orang Melayu bukanlah bangsa yang lemah dan hanya mengenal keris dan tombak, malahan telah pandai membina dan menggunakan meriam sebagai salah satu senjata hebat yang digunakan sebagai senjata pertahanan. Berdasarkan kepada artifak meriam ini juga telah banyak membantu menyelongkar sejarah peradaban kesultanan Melayu dan rakyat Selangor. Kata kunci: Meriam; kepentingan; kesultanan; Selangor; pertahanan ABSTRACT This paper is written with the purpose of re-documenting the existence of a barrel of iron cannon at Melawati Fort, Kuala Selangor, Selangor. The discovery of the cannons are the manifestations of the Selangor Sultanate and the colonization of the Anglo-Dutch in Selangor. The existence of these cannons also show the armaments and defenses for the sovereignty of the king and state against the threats among enemies. Such discoveries imply that the Malays were not weak for not only have the dagger and the spear, they had even formulated security defense with the cannon as one of the most powerful weapons used to defeat the enemies.
