Through a discussion of findings from previous studies, gaps in criminology knowledge on the bully-design link and future crime will be highlighted. Bullying is a serious social problem that can affect and impact a student’s future. The previous studies had indicated the link between bullying behaviour and future crime for the bully and the victim.

  • Removing the Race Section in Official Documents Used by Government and Private Sectors As a Gesture for Sustaining National Harmony: a Malaysian’S Perspective
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 7 ISSN: 2222-6990 Removing the Race Section in Official Documents used by Government and Private Sectors as a Gesture for Sustaining National Harmony: A Malaysian’s Perspective Ismi Arif Ismail*, Dzuhailmi Dahalan, Haslinda Abdullah, Turiman Suandi, Steven Eric Krauss & Nurul Akhtar Kamarudin, Institute for Social Science Studies Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i7/3118 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i7/3118 Abstract This paper examines the perception of Malaysian on the proposed removal of race section in official documents used by government and private organizations. The paper employed mixed method research paradigm. A total sample of 1513 Malaysian residents in Peninsular Malaysia was randomly selected from the whole population and data was collected using structured set of instruments, focus group interview and document analysis. The data was analysed using IBM SPSS software version 24 for both descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings shows that majority of Peninsular Malaysians did not support the proposal to remove race section in the official government and private documents. However, the findings revealed that Chinese and Indian communities are keen to support the proposal of removing the race section in the official government and private documents compared to the Malays, so also Sabah/Sarawak Bumiputera living here in Peninsular. Moreover, Gen Z also support the proposal, which contradict from the Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y. Based on the findings of this paper, the removal of the race section in the official government and private documents, can spark race sensitivity and polemic among the multiple race of Malaysia.

  • The Change of Malaysian Standard Time: a Motion and Debate in the Malaysian Parliament
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The Change of Malaysian Standard Time: A Motion and Debate in the Malaysian Parliament Hamdan Aziz (Ph.D), Syahrin Said, Peter Won Sin On, Hailan Salamun (Ph.D), & Razi Yaakob Department of Nationhood and Civilization Studies, Centre for Fundamental and Liberal Education, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3725 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3725 Abstract This paper attempts to identify the reasons why the (former) Prime Minister of Malaysia, (Tun) Mahathir Mohamed proposed to change the Malaysian Standard Time on the 8 hours ahead based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and coordinated with official times for (East Malaysia), namely Sabah and Sarawak effective January 1, 1982. Previously, Peninsular Malaysia was 7 ½ hours ahead while Sabah and Sarawak were 8 hours ahead of GMT. Using analytical textual method, this paper formulated the content of the House of Commons Hansard texts on 21 December 1981 and the House of Lords convened on 18 December 1981. The findings revealed that the ½ hour time difference between the Peninsular and Sabah and Sarawak affected working hours especially in early and ending of time. The approval of the Malaysian Standard Time Act successfully standardized the official communication time between the Peninsular with Sabah and Sarawak as well as establishing integration between the two regions. The time zone of Sabah and Sarawak was chosen as the Standard Malaysia time as it was found to be most appropriate in terms of daylight savings as well as minimal disruption to the everyday life of the people in the country.
