Among them are the monthly basic salary, monthly fixed allowances, overdue salary and bonuses. Therefore this study aims to identify the level of knowledge among government servants in calculating the payable zakah of income based on the sources of income that formulate the monthly salary.  This study applies the quantitative study with descriptive analysis on the dataobtained using the instrument of questionnaire. As many as 772 respondents involved in this study by focusing on two sections namely the knowledge pertaining to the concept of income zakahand items of income sources. There are four items of sources studied which are the salary, monthly fixed allowances, overdue salary and bonus. Finding of analysis indicates that the level of knowledge among respondents related to the concept of zakah is significantly high. Itemized analysis reveals that respondents’ knowledge in the calculation of payable income zakah for the item of overdue salary is moderate, while for the bonus is low.   Implication of the analysis shows that the calculation of payable income zakah needs a continous effort from the authority.

Authors: Et.al Rosmini Ismail
Published: April 2021

Numerous studies have foundthatfinancial literacy may assist in averting irresponsible spending that linked to materialistic values. However, the area of knowledge that delivers financial literacy varies among studies. The study determines whether credit hours of financial courses,namely, economics, finance and accounting, affect materialism. Consequently, three moderator variables namely gender, year of study and financial sponsorship, were added into the analysis. A survey was conducted on 1022 business undergraduates in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris using money attitude scales as a proxy to measure materialism. Findings indicate that there werenodirectcorrelations between credithoursof financial courses cumulatively or individually, with materialism scores. However, when the year of studyvariable,specifically fourth-year students category, wasinserted as a moderating effect, all three financial courses credit hours were found to be negatively correlatedwith materialism score. The findings demonstrate that accounting courses credit hours affect all materialism dimensions. Meanwhile, three and two materialism dimensions negatively correlated with economic and finance courses, respectively. It indicates that final year students materialistic values lessen as particular financial courses credit hours increased. The findings may provide input to financial literacy modules to mitigateyoung-executive debt crises.

Published: April 2021

Malaysia is a developing country rich in its culture and traditions dating back for centuries. The evolution of music in Malaysia, unnoticed by many, plays distinctive notes inspiring and transforming the paradigm shift of its people. Malaysian music transcends from melismatic, organum and minimalism, to the current progressive intervals, modulations and eclectic variations of form, structure, rhythm, chords and melodies. Vast social and economic developments change the appreciation of music in its representation by the transportation of musical essences through the delicate sensory motors of the human mind and body via sight and sound. The overall composition of this journal is to provide a thorough overview of the integration and of vocal singing and performance through the spectacle of music. Results, data, musical notations, facts and figures pertaining to this study shall be derived through books, articles, internet (reliable sources with citations) and interviews from industrialists and professionals. Conservation efforts through innovations would evidently furnish new and innovative musical ideas blending in through the inevitable influx of American/European and global new-age music. Unlike some neighboring countries that prioritize national interests, Malaysia welcomes innovations and new musical ideas. Nonetheless, the essence of the Malaysian heritage should never be compromised. To date, the diminishing factor of traditional music is rather disheartening.

The Case for Wikis in Foreign Language Teaching
Authors: Et. al. Xiaohui Sun,
Published: April 2021

Web 2.0 has immensely impacted language learning since the mid 2000s (Reinhardt, 2019). The term was coined by Tim O’Reilly in 2004 to suggest the evolution of the web to interactivity, collaboration and openness (Boulos and Wheelert, 2007). “Web 1.0 was commerce. Web 2.0 is people” (Singel, 2005), who are now active participants, instead of passive recipients of education.

Social media are the Web 2.0 applications that gained greatest popularity among foreign language students and professionals. Among them, wikis, blogs and social media are most influential for language teaching, and attracted considerable academic research (Reinhardt, 2019).

In this research paper, the focus is on wikis, as accessible and simplified means for collaboration (Reinhardt, 2019). For example, by using this collaborative technology, foreign language students are allowed to write a text together, define terms and concepts, brainstorm, revise the work of others, critically reflect, and many more (Kessler, 2009; Ducate, Anderson and Moreno, 2011). From learners’ perspective, wikis are enjoyable, engaging, motivating and rewarding (Lund, 2008; Aydin and Yildiz, 2014; Wang, 2014). Yet, some scholars have raised issues about information accuracy (Ducate, Anderson and Moreno, 2001), participation resistance (Lund, 2008) and unequal contribution (Arnold, Ducate and Kost, 2009), which might make the use of wikis by educators problematic

To improve microgrid efficiency, detecting the fault as soon as possible is imperative. Taking into account the above problem a peculiar technique has been implemented in the analysis of this paper with a micro grid consisting of wind turbine (WT) and diesel generator for the classification of different types of faults. All Neuro-fuzzy (NF) fault disturbances are introduced by taking the input function data for accurate classification of different faults. One technically applicable 3-bus framework integrated with various forms of delivery generations that are considered for the purpose of security analysis and the simulation is done for the environment using MATLAB / SIMULINK. The fault classification is achieved by using Neuro Fuzzy. The results of the comparison are presented, showing the improved performance of Neuro Fuzzy (NF).
Psychological Support Application Using The Real-Time Webrtc: A Case Study Of Undergraduate In Malaysian And Indonesian Higher Learning Institutions
Authors: Et. al. Mohamad Asrol Arshad,
Published: April 2021

This paper presents the investigation of a psychological support application using the Web Real-Time Telecommunication, or WebRTC, in helping undergraduates who experienced mental health due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.  In this study, the psychological support application using WebRTC was developed to assist undergraduates in dealing with mental and psychological health problems encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study was conducted by distributing a survey consisting of the sharing, consulting and profiling modules of the application that have to be answered by the respondents.  This application implements WebRTC as a platform for the user of the application to ‘randomly’ call another user. A user can choose whether to be the caller, the receiver, or both. The caller would be able to call the receiver when the specifications are chosen while the receiver is only able to receive a call. If both are chosen, the user would be able to initiate and receive a call. In order to connect one user to another in peer-to-peer communication, a signalling server is used.  The results obtained in this case study showed that the COVID-19 outbreak has affected undergraduates’ mental health and the developed application is able to help the undergraduates in healing their mental health.  The developed application can improve the uses of other sharing platforms such as Face Time and WhatsApp Call.

Authors: Et. al. Noor Afni Deraman,
Published: April 2021

: Due to the advancement in technology and management's needs on the go, i-CAMPUS is developed for UiTM Cawangan Melaka. The i-CAMPUS has been integrated with information and communication technology (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the emerging technologies in IoT that is still new in Malaysia is beacon technology with smartphone applications to serve information based on the user's contextual information. Information is currently is decentralized and disseminated among people on the campus through email and by publishing on the website. In order to allow effective information delivery, i-CAMPUS is proposed and developed using an agile development life cycle approach. The system used the Flutter environment and phpMyadmin as a database management system. Integrated with beacon and geofence technology, the i-CAMPUS user will receive notification information within the application when the mobile application sensed the signal emitted by the beacon in the form of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Each beacon signal is unique, and the information delivered is specified according to the beacon.  The i-CAMPUS has been evaluated in terms of functionality and usability. The result shows that i-CAMPUS is working well and enables the visitor to retrieve information anywhere at any time. For future work, the navigation function is recommended to be integrated with this application.
