    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 03, 2020 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE 1Mohd Faizun Mohamad Yazid, 2Aeshah Mohd Ali, 3Sanusi Abdul Manaf 1,3 Universiti Kuala Lumpur 2UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This research evaluates customer perceptions towards service quality in the public transport services in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Five dimensions from the service quality were measured to identify which dimensions play essential roles in customer satisfaction. The research uses questionnaires to collect data. 300 questionnaires were distributed among the people who commute daily using public transport. Data collection was done at the selected bus station and based on convenience sampling. 221 usable questionnaires were collected for data analysis using SmartPLS. The results indicated that only reliability and tangibles are significant towards customer satisfaction, while the other three dimensions are not supported. The service provider can use the results to study customer perceptions of their services. It can be used to improve their services and gain more trust from the customer.

  • Chapter 4 Revision of Guidelines Vol.1 Parts B & C
    CHAPTER 4 REVISION OF GUIDELINES VOL.1 PARTS B & C The Study on Improvement of Planning Capability in Sewerage Sector in Malaysia Final Report CHAPTER 4 REVISION OF GUIDELINES VOL. 1 PARTS B & C 4.1 Discrepancies in the Current Catchment Strategy Reports The following discrepancies were identified for correction upon revision of the existing catchment strategy reports. (1) Outline of Catchment Study Report This issue relates to the format of a catchment study report. While the current catchment reports contain a summary checklist of the catchment strategy reports, it does not include basic information such as catchment name and present connection PE. (2) No Link between Sewerage Development Effects and Catchment Strategies This issue relates to the content of the report. Current reports focus on the location of new STP sites, routes of new sewers, and the development of the sewerage system, but the effects of sewerage development on effluent-receiving rivers are neither mentioned nor examined. Therefore, the objectives for the sewerage system and its implementation are unclear. (3) Current Analytical Approach for Catchment Strategies This issue relates to the analytical approach of catchment plans. The current Guidelines show the general procedural scheme for developing sewerage catchment plans, but this scheme combines or blends what to do and what to consider. Since different developers use different approaches for catchment plans, comparing and evaluating these catchment strategies becomes complex. (4) No Consideration for Local Water Conservation This issue relates to constraints in identifying catchment strategies. The concept of local water conservation does not exist in the current Guidelines. (5) No Quantitative Analysis on Sludge Management This issue relates to financial analysis.

    State of Emergency in Perak 1948-1960: The Socioeconomic and Political Impacts of the Northern Perak Society Puan Puteh Binti Meh Universiti Sains Malaysia Keywords: Emergency, Socioeconomy, Politics. Abstract: The writing aims to examine the emergency state in Perak and its impact on the socioeconomic and political developments in Northern Perak from 1948 to 1960. The historical study also examines the emergency declaration by the British government as well as the actions taken by the British government in dealing with communist issues. The analysis is also related to the extent of emergency state declaration in 1948 to 1960 due to the communist rebellion or threats by other left wings parties in Malaya during that period. The researcher uses historical methodology through a quantitative approach. In order to prove the questionnaire, the researcher has analyzed official documents such as Malayan Federation Annual Report, State of Perak Government Report, memoirs and interviews with respondents involved during the state of emergency period. Secondary sources such as library researches are also used to enhance the results of this study. Through this study, it is found that the communists are not as cruel as the previous writers describes and the state of emergency declaration made by the British government is not solely due to the communist rebellion but also as a result of the threats from other left wing parties. 1 INTRODUCTION emergency was a condition when the Communist Party of Malaya (PKM) violated and launched a This study isw conducted to study and investigate rebellion to dominate Malaya. The state of the state of emergency in Perak and its impact on the emergency also means an urgent, alarming or critical socio-economic and political situation of the North difficulty caused by crisis such as food shortages, Perak population from 1948 to 1960.
