    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 6, Issue 4, 2019 An Exploration of Community-Based Tourism in Kampung Baru Nelayan, Pekan Sungai Besar, Selangor *Syed Munir Barakbah Syed Faozi Barakbaha, Ambigai Pariasamyb, Mohd Rafie Mohd Taibc, Mohd Shahril Mat Yusofd, abFaculty of Business and Technology, UNITAR International University, cSchool of Culinary Arts, UNITAR International University, dUNITAR College, *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] The purpose of this study was to explore the community and its activities which could be enhanced as a community-based tourism product. Thus, the main theme of this research project was community- based tourism which included detailed examination of factors such as cultural resources, financial resources, community activities and natural resources. The selected site to explore the variables was the community in Kampung Baru Nelayan which is in Pekan Sungai Besar, a sub- district of Sabak Bernam, in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Information was collected via observation on the on-going community activities at specific times on the days of the study, and through unstructured interviews with the local community. The findings from this research indicate that Kampung Baru Nelayan had a vast community-based tourism product that could be further developed and enhanced to be made attractive for both domestic and international tourists. Key words: Community, community-based tourism, cultural resources, financial resources, natural resources, community activities. Introduction The concept of Community-based Tourism (CBT) could be found in the work of Murphy (1985), where he posed that tourism-related aspects could be developed in local communities. He further analysed those aspects in his later study (Murphy & Murphy, 2004).

  • Carey Island Mega Project Will Take Us Higher
    Carey Island mega project will take us higher KUALA LUMPUR: The mega port industrial city project at Carey Island will ease the congestion and bottleneck at Port Klang, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. He said the port city project, which is still in the planning stages, was a vital part of the Government’s effort to further boost the country’s position as the top hub in the region. “We will have a port city there, not just a port. It will give a boost to Carey Island, and this is our long-term plan,” he told the media at the launch of Pikom’s 9th Leadership Summit 2017, yesterday. The Carey Island Port is a massive port-industrial city project with infrastructure investments of more than RM200bil covering an area of over 100sq km – more than twice the size of Putrajaya. It was announced in January. Liow said the Government must start now or risk being left behind by other ports in the region. “We cannot be satisfied with the current 30 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) of container cargo. Carey Island will carry an additional capacity of 30 million TEUs. “At the moment, both Northport and Westport can only handle 30 million TEUs so we need to implement the project as soon as possible,” he said. Liow, who is also the National Logistics Task Force chairman, said the development of Carey Island will cover more than 5,000 acres (2,000ha) off Port Klang, aimed at managing the traffic shipment across Asia. “We are hoping to draw cargo shipments from southern Thailand, and Sumatra in Indonesia to strengthen Port Klang’s position as the biggest hub in the region,” he said.

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. Technique of binominal logistic regression analysis was applied to test the model of compliance behaviour in business zakat. A number of 105 questionnaires were distributed to micro enterprise players in service sector in Sabak Bernam district and it was found that research results indicated that the model of this study was consistent with suggestion by planned behaviour theory. Factor of perceived behavioural control was the most influencing factor of compliance behaviour of business zakat (β = 2.493) followed by factor of religion (β = 1.163) and then by factor of attitude towards business zakat (β = 1.054).

  • MMC Partners Adani Ports for Carey Island Port Project, Sime Darby for Maritime City
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Monday, 3 April 2017 MMC partners Adani Ports for Carey Island Port Project, Sime Darby for Maritime City _________________________________________________________ Ahmedabad, India/Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 3 April 2017 - MMC Port Holdings Sdn Bhd (MMC Ports), Sime Darby Property Berhad and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to study the feasibility of developing an integrated maritime city on Carey Island, Selangor, Malaysia.

Abstract The problem of getting pregnant out of wedlock among the Muslim community is a big issue that is getting worse in this country. The establishment of women's shelters is one of the methods to curb these symptoms. However, the management of this center is often faced with the problem of lack of funds for operations due to the high total management costs. Zakat fund is seen as one of the solutions to this problem, especially for the allocation of asnaf zakat riqab. Therefore, this study aims to identify the interpretation of asnaf zakat riqab according to contemporary Islamic scholars as well as analyze the management of shelters for pregnant women out of wedlock and suggest a model of distribution of zakat asnaf riqab to Women Protection Centers. Qualitative research methods are used to obtain and complete the information of this study.

  • Carey Island’S Port: Is It a “Need” Or “Want” ? Statement of Objectives
    社会经济研究中心 SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE Part 3: Carey Island’s port: Is it a “Need” or “Want” ? Statement of objectives • The idea of developing Carey Island’s port was conceptualised following the remarks that existing ports in the Port Klang area will hit maximum capacity. In early 2017, Port Klang Authority (PKA) had announced existing ports in the area will reach maximum capacity by 2025. • In April 2017, MMC Corporation Bhd has signed two agreements: (1) The first one with Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) to conduct a feasibility study of Carey Island as an extension of Port Klang; and (2) Second MoU with Sime Darby Property Bhd and APSEZ to study the feasibility of developing an integrated maritime city in Carey Island. • In July 2018, another feasibility study under new administration will be independently conducted and commissioned by Port Klang Authority (PKA). As of now, previous government had not issued approval for the Carey Port. Transport Minister Anthony Loke indicated that the project will be private initiative-driven if the Parliament approved. • The objectives of this working paper are to provide an overview of the port development in Carey Island and also to assess the potential of the Carey Island project that can enhance the surrounding development. Socio-Economic Research Centre 1 Scope of the study Section 1: An overview of Carey Island • Illustrate some facts, the development status and hinterland connections about Carey Island. Section 2: Site and location analysis • Describe the land ownership of Carey Island, including an estimation of opportunity cost on Sime Darby Plantation’s arable land and palm oil revenue if Carey Port has to be implemented.
