  • The Almighty: Documenting Islamic Awareness and the Spiritual Migration of Malaysian Artists
    Proceedings of ADVED 2017- 3rd International Conference on Advances in Education and Social Sciences 9-11 October 2017- Istanbul, Turkey RETURN TO THE ALMIGHTY: DOCUMENTING ISLAMIC AWARENESS AND THE SPIRITUAL MIGRATION OF MALAYSIAN ARTISTS Mashitah Sulaiman 1*, Mohd Nazir Ahmad2 1(Dr.) Center for Core Studies & Faculty of Leadership and Management, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Bandar Baru Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, MALAYSIA, [email protected]/ +60 13- 3911694 2(Mr.) Faculty of Information Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA, [email protected]/ +60 13-3614665 *Corresponding author Abstract Since 1970s, Islamic Resurgence in Malaysia which initially emerges in the urban city of Kuala Lumpur has a significant impact on the Malay Muslims at every angle of their life, physically and spiritually, individually and socially. The impact of the Islamic Resurgence has been deep-rooted in the Malays at all levels of the society. Participation of the Malay middle class in the Islamic Resurgence was significantly intensified which then helps to upsurge Islamic consciousness in the society, particularly in the urban cities of Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of the spiritual migration of the Malay Muslim artists to practice Islamic way of life and to study their commitment on the Islamic teaching based on their convictions. This study also analyzes factors that contribute to Islamic awareness among the Malay Muslim artists in Malaysia and its impacts on their life. A qualitative approach is used for this multidisciplinary historical and socio-religious research. Content analysis of the primary data, such as interviews and newspaper, and also the secondary data, for example magazine and television programs was used to critically analyze the Malay Muslim artists’ transformation to practice and return to Islamic teaching.

  • Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Dan Intelektual Liberal
    Akademika 90(1), April 2020: 165-179 https://doi.org/10.17576/akad-2020-9001-14 Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) dan Intelektual Liberal: Kelahiran dan Evolusi Idea Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and Liberal Intellectuals: The Birth and Evolution of Ideas MOHD AZIZI JAEH & MUHAMAD TAKIYUDDIN ISMAIL ABSTRAK Pasca Reformasi bukan sekadar menyaksikan fenomena demonstrasi jalanan dan penentangan aktivis terhadap rejim pemerintah ketika itu, Barisan Nasional, tetapi juga kesedaran yang dipupuk dalam kalangan sebahagian aktivis dalam Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) telah melahirkan gerakan intelektual yang bersikap anti-establishment. Gerakan yang dipelopori Khalid Jaafar dan sekumpulan aktivis Jalan Telawi dari segi sejarahnya cenderung dengan pemikiran pencerahan dan liberalisme Barat. Artikel ini bertujuan memaparkan kegiatan golongan liberal dalam PKR selepas tercetusnya Reformasi. Di samping itu, kajian ini akan mengemukakan peranan aktor-aktor yang melingkungi intelektual PKR dalam menjayakan projek pendidikan politik. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan kaedah kualitatif iaitu memberikan tumpuan kepada temu bual penulis bersama beberapa orang informan serta diperkukuhkan dengan bukti-bukti empirikal menerusi sumber sekunder. Penemuan kajian mendapati peranan Institut Kajian Dasar (IKD) dan penganjuran program Sekolah Politik telah membantu golongan pencerahan menyusun gerakan pengkaderan dan penentangan. Kelompok ini tidak lagi berorientasi kepada tindakan demonstrasi massa dan kempen pilihan raya, sebaliknya mengadakan kegiatan intelektual bagi mempromosikan

  • PKR Challenges Gov't to Drop Apco Malaysiakini.Com Mar 22, 2010 S Pathmawathy
    PKR challenges gov't to drop Apco Malaysiakini.com Mar 22, 2010 S Pathmawathy PKR MPs today urged the government to terminate the agreement between Malaysia and consultancy firm Apco Worldwide, to avoid a negative perception by other Islamic nations. The lawmakers claim that though Apco had disclaimed any connection with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's 1Malaysia campaign, they insist that the company has strong ties with Israel and its former premier Ehud Barak. "If the government does not revoke Apco's contract, we will be exposed to danger. People will link us to Israeli policy and speculate that we are in cahoots," said Balik Pulau MP Yusmadi Yusoff. "I also challenge government to take action against those responsible for bringing in these elements that have damaged the country's image." Yusmadi said this at a press conference that was also attended by other MPs including R Sivarasa (Subang), Johari Abdul (Sungai Petani) and Amran Abu Ghani (Tanah Merah). The Apco debacle began last week when Anwar Ibrahim claimed during his debate on the royal address that the company was linked to the Zionist 'One Israel' campaign. Following this, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz moved a suggestion through deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee this morning to give opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim a week to back up his claim, since he was not in the house to respond. Failing which, Mohd Nazri said a motion would be moved to refer Anwar to the Rights and Privileges Committee committee to cite him for contempt and misleading the house.
