Similar to the past seminars, SSPIS 2016 focused on three main disciplines of pure arts, applied arts and applied sciences. Social Sciences is not a stand-alone discipline but transdisciplinary, encompassing a number of fields including anthropology, sociology, social work, development, planning and management, economics, political science, psychology, education, language, humanities, communication, mass media and housing, building and planning. The trans-disciplinary nature of social sciences allows for the weaving of new knowledge, and at the same time, allows researchers to move beyond known boundaries, as society’s problems are far too complex and cannot be solved only within the domain of one discipline. Hence, SSPIS is the right platform for all participants to share knowledge, findings, and ideas across many different fields. The SSPIS 2016 attracted a total of 145 research papers from various institutions and organisations from around the world. All the full papers were subjected to double-blind peer reviews. Out of 145 research papers, only 26 papers were selected to be included in the Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar that will be submitted to Thomson Reuters for the Conference Proceedings Citation Index. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to all authors and participants for their contribution and support. We would also like to thank all paper reviewers for their invaluable input and constructive comments in reviewing the papers. Last but not least, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the staff and postgraduate students of School of Social Sciences, USM for having supported and successfully organized the SSPIS 2016. Thank you Razlini Mohd Ramli Norzarina Mohd Zaharim Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Syazwani Drani Editors Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar (SSPIS) December 2016 7 EDITORIAL BOARD Editors Razlini Mohd Ramli Norzarina Mohd Zaharim Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Syazwani Drani 8 Hisbah and Urban Kano Insecurity: A Qualitative Analysis Approach Ali Ado Siro1 & P. Sundramoorthy2 1, 2 Anthropology & Sociology Section, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Pulau Pinang, Penang, Malaysia. 1Criminology and Security Studies Department, Federal University Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. (Email: [email protected]¹, [email protected]²) Abstract Insecurity has been a common feature of northern Nigerian states in the contemporary times. As an affected state, Kano introduced Hisbah in the year 2000 at the boil of public agitation to assist the implementation of Islamic Shari’a. This study is aimed at assessing the contribution of the organisation in fighting crime to ensure security for the populace. The area comprises of eight local government areas out of forty-four that made up the state. The data were collected via in-depth interviews using snowball sampling. The relevant organisation’s departments involved in the study consist of crime, surveillance, investigation, operation and welfare. The findings revealed that, the organisation has been helpful not only in curbing insecurity but had great achievements in the resolution of civil cases and welfare issues within and outside the state jurisdiction. Although this picture proves the indispensability of Hisbah, there are problems affecting the functionality of the agency. And, this calls for re-strengthening the organisation to ensure a lasting solution to insecurity management problems. This is a task that lies not only in the hands of relevant authorities but also collaborative efforts from the general public. Keywords: Hisbah, Urban Kano, Security, Insecurity, Qualitative Approach 1. Introduction Security is the most vital element in human social, economic and political life. The global attention in post-cold and Gulf wars’ period was redirected from traditional to non-traditional security concern especially in the third world countries. These issues were invoked at the United Nations

  • Jawapan Kepada Semua Pengkritik Saya

    Jawapan Kepada Semua Pengkritik Saya

    1 JAWAPAN KEPADA SEMUA PENGKRITIK SAYA Oleh Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad Apabila saya memulakan laman web saya, atas cadangan dan bantuan seorang kawan, niat saya adalah untuk memuatkan ucapan dan kertas kerja saya yang disampaikan atau ditulis semasa saya berkhidmat sebagai hakim supaya orang lain dapat membacanya. Kesemuanya adalah mengenai undang-undang. Dalam tempoh beberapa tahun pertama persaraan saya, akibat penglibatan saya dalam bidang tersebut, saya mula menulis dan bercakap mengenai aspek undang-undang perbankan dan kewangan Islam. Selain itu, saya sering mendapat jemputan untuk berucap mengenai subjek seperti integriti, rasuah dan lain-lain. Semuanya dimuat naik di laman web saya. Bilangan pelawat terus meningkat, di luar jangkaan saya. Saya kerap menerima e-mel daripada pembaca, tetapi tidak ada yang mengkritik. Pada awal Mac 2014, saya dijemput oleh sekumpulan NGO Melayu / Islam yang diketuai oleh Dato' Ibrahim Ali, yang menentang pemansuhan Akta Hasutan 1948 dan kelulusan apa yang dikenali sebagai Bil Harmoni, untuk mengetuai sebuah jawatankuasa bagi menyediakan memorandum untuk dikemukakan kepada Dato’ Seri Najib, Perdana Menteri BN pada masa itu. Saya berbahas sendirian sama ada hendak menerimanya atau tidak, kerana apabila saya dilihat duduk disamping Dato' Ibrahim Ali, Presiden Perkasa itu pun sudah cukup untuk menarik kritikan daripada kumpulan bukan Melayu yang memperjuangkan pemansuhan Akta Hasutan dan menjadikan bil Harmony sebagai undang-undang. Saya memutuskan untuk menerimany atas syarat saya, yang saya nyatakan di mesyuarat pertama pada 14 Mac 2014, iaitu: 1. Tugas saya hanya untuk membantu jawatankuasa itu mengenai aspek undang-undang dan perlembagaan dalam merangka memorandum. Saya mungkin atau tidak bersetuju dengan beberapa bahagian memorandum tersebut. Isi kandungannya akan diputuskan oleh konvensyen NGO-NGO yang akan diadakan.

    DAP Using Hudud to Make People Hate PAS, Says Nik Abduh the Malaysian Insider March 24, 2015 by Elizabeth Zachariah

    DAP using hudud to make people hate PAS, says Nik Abduh The Malaysian Insider March 24, 2015 By Elizabeth Zachariah PAS today accused its Pakatan Rakyat partner DAP of using the hudud issue to incite hatred towards the Islamist party. Its central committee member Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Aziz was commenting on DAP's decision to sever ties with PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang over the implementation of the Islamic penal code. "DAP is using hudud to get Malaysians to hate PAS, to ensure PAS loses its support," he said to reporters at the Parliament lobby today. "DAP is using the hudud issue to push PAS out of Pakatan Rakyat (PR). I met several DAP leaders individually and told them not to allow the hudud issue be an excuse for us to break up." Earlier today, DAP said that although it would remain in PR, it was ending all ties with Hadi following the latter's decision to go against the coalition in tabling a Private Member's Bill on his own without discussing it with the rest of the leadership. "DAP is unable to work with a PAS president like Hadi Awang who persists in such dishonest and dishonourable acts," secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said today. "As Hadi is the PAS leader in PR, DAP's decision to end all ties with Hadi will effectively put the PR leadership council in limbo. DAP will meet the PKR leadership to discuss the future course of PR." Lim later told reporters that Hadi should leave the opposition coalition if he insisted on implementing hudud in Kelantan.

He was found guilty on both counts and sentenced, in 1999 and 2000 respectively, to a total of 15 years in prison. On 2 September 2004, the Federal Court quashed the conviction in the sodomy case and ordered Mr. Anwar Ibrahim’s release, as he had already served his sentence in the abuse of power case. The IPU had arrived at the conclusion that the motives for Mr. Anwar Ibrahim’s prosecution were not legal in nature and that the case had been built on a presumption of guilt; - Mr. Anwar Ibrahim was re-elected in August 2008 and May 2013 and became the de facto leader of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (The People’s Alliance); - On 28 June 2008, Mohammed Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a former male aide in Mr.

    Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) Is Committed to Defending and Campaigning for Human Rights in Malaysia and Other Parts of the World

    Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) is committed to defending and campaigning for human rights in Malaysia and other parts of the world. The organisation began in 1989 as a campaign body for the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in the aftermath of the infamous Operasi Lalang when 106 Malaysians were detained without trial. Since then, it has evolved into the leading human rights organisation in Malaysia, committed to protecting, preserving and promoting human rights.

When he first came to power in 2009, Najib Razak introduced several reforms in an attempt to win back votes after the fiasco for the ruling coalition in the 2008 general election. This attempt at reform has been reversed after yet another debacle for BN in the 2013 general election, epitomized by the about-turn decision on the promise to repeal the Sedition Act, with the Prime Minister seemingly bowing down to demands of extremist groups for his own political survival and bent on teaching dissenting voters a lesson.
