Pengurusan Pembangunan Harta Wakaf: Pengalaman Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP) Terhadap Wakaf Seetee Aishah
Authors: Hashim Hydzulkifli , Ab. Rahman Asmak 
Published: August 2020

Terdapat beberapa kaedah yang boleh dipraktikkan untuk memproduktifkan aset wakaf. Hal ini termasuk aktiviti seperti, menyewakan aset wakaf kepada pihak yang berkepentingan dan melakukan aktiviti ekonomi dalam pelbagai bidang seperti bidang pertanian dan penternakan. Sekiranya kesemua kaedah tersebut tidak sesuai dipraktikkan, nazir hendaklah mencari alternatif lain agar tanah tersebut dapat diproduktifk an. Pemegang amanah wakaf juga seharusnya peka terhadap potensi sesebuah tanah wakaf yang berada di bawah jagaannya agar dapat dioptimunkan penggunaannya. Oleh itu, pelaburan hartanah merupakan salah satu alternatif yang boleh dilakukan untuk tujuan membangunkan tanah wakaf. Pelaburan hartanah terhadap harta wakaf dapat dibuat dengan cara pembinaan bangunan secara komersil seperti pasar raya, tempat penginapan (hotel) dan juga taman perumahan. Dengan ini penciptaan aset wakaf baru akan terhasil setelah tanah wakaf tersebut dibangunkan. Penyelidikan ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji kaedah pembangunan secara komersil yang telah dilakukan oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP) terhadap salah sebuah tanah wakaf (waqaf Seetee Aishah) yang terletak di Seberang Jaya, Pulau Pinang. Dengan kepakaran pengurusan yang ada dipihak MAINPP serta kerjasama daripada UDA Holdings Berhad, tanah wakaf Seetee Aishah telah berjaya diproduktifkan dengan pembinaan sebuah taman perumahan yang dikenali sebagai taman perumahan wakaf Seetee Aishah. Kata kunci: Pembangunan harta wakaf, Majlis Agam a Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP), pelaburan harta wakaf.

Published: August 2020

Kertas ini bertujuan mengkaji hubungan antara perbelanjaan awam dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi di peringkat kerajaan negeri di Semenanjung Malaysia. Beberapa pemboleh ubah yang lain seperti hasil cukai, imbangan fiskal, dan jumlah populasi penduduk juga diambil kira dalam menganggar model persamaan. Kajian ini mengaplikasi ujian kointegrasi Johansen untuk menganalisis hubungan jangka panjang (kointegrasi) dan model vektor pembetulan ralat (VECM) untuk menentukan arah sebab-menyebab dalam jangka pendek dan jangka panjang dalam kalangan pemboleh ubah kajian. Keputusan kajian menunjukkan; pertama, tidak wujud hubungan jangka panjang antara output negeri dengan belanja awam di negeri Selangor. Kedua, di negeri Pahang dan Melaka wujud hubungan sebab-menyebab dua hala dalam jangka panjang antara output negeri dengan belanja awam. Ketiga, dalam jangka pendek, perubahan output signifikan menjadi penyebab Granger kepada perubahan perbelanjaan awam di Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Melaka dan Pulau Pinang, yang menyokong hipotesis Wagner. Sebaliknya, di negeri Pahang dan Perak, perubahan perbelanjaan awam signifikan menjadi penyebab Granger kepada perubahan output dalam jangka pendek, yang mengesahkan hipotesis Keynes di negeri tersebut. Kata kunci: Perbelanjaan awam, pertumbuhan ekonomi, ujian kointegrasi Johansen, VECM, VAR.
Long-Run and Short-Run Relationships Between Education and Economic Growth: The Malaysian Experience
Authors: Yussof Ishak , Abdillah Atif Awad , Osman Zulkifly 
Published: August 2020

This paper investigates the long and short-run relationships between human capital, measured in terms of average years of schooling for people aged 15 years and older, and economic growth in Malaysia between 1970 and 2009. The data was collected from various sources, including the World Bank database, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and scholarly texts. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) test was utilized to examine the relationships between education and economic growth. The results of the co-integration test revealed that economic growth was absolutely exogenous and the remaining variables were endogenous in Malaysia. This fi nding suggests that the status of these variables depend on the level of economic growth, while the opposite is not true. The most interesting results were that the long-run forcing variables for human capital accumulation were capital stock, employment and economic growth. However, the causality test revealed that economic growth, employment and capital stock, not only aff ects human capital in the short-run, but in the long run as well. The causality tests performed detected two-way relationships between human capital and capital stock, and employment separately in the long run. Although economic growth is exogenous, Malaysia should still continue to invest in its human capital accumulation since it could att ract more investments and subsequently create employment opportunities within the economy. Keywords: Education levels, education development, income, economic growth.

Published: August 2020

This paper reviews and identifies the criteria used in the teacher-candidate selection process. The identified main criteria and sub-criteria were prioritized according to their importance by a group of experts. The literature was the source of the criteria and twelve experts who have experience in teacher-selection process were asked to justify the criteria obtained from the secondary source. Furthermore, these experts evaluated the relative importance of the identified criteria in a pair-wise manner. Their judgments were analysed by a multi-criteria method, known as the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Three main criteria were identified which consisted of ‘content of knowledge’, ‘communication skills’ and ‘personality’, while each of these three main criteria had four, six and eight sub-criteria respectively. The degree of importance which is known as weights of these criteria were also calculated where those criteria which receive higher values are considered to be more important. Generally, the results of the analysis show that ‘communication skills’ and ‘personality’ are the most and second-most important criteria respectively, followed by ‘content of knowledge’ in the third position. The analysis of the importance of the sub-criteria of these three main criteria is also included. These criteria and the weights can be used later in the development of the teacher-selection model. Both secondary data and primary data were used in this research. All the experts or the respondents have experience in the selection process where 40% of them have more than six years’ experience. Keywords: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), importance, multi-criteria, selection, teacher, weights.
Catalytic Social Entrepreneurship to Combat Desperate Poverty: A Systems Approach
Authors: Mascarenhas Oswald A. J. , Kesavan Ram , Bernacchi Michael D. 
Published: August 2020

Any credible agenda that seeks to eradicate global poverty must seek to correct the structural injustices and inequities that cause and perpetuate desperate endemic poverty. Such an agenda must aim not merely to aid the poor with grants, welfare and subsidies, but it must primarily seek to enhance the capabilities, skills, access and opportunities of the marginalized to participate on more equitable terms, in the dynamic process of overall economic growth. We apply a systems approach to poverty, the latter itself being a pernicious system. Eradication of global desperate poverty and its unjust structural causes can be done through two concurrent systems-thinking based strategies: (a) micro catalytic social entrepreneurship that leads to catalytic innovations that alleviate poverty, and (b) macro social catalytic political entrepreneurship that radically innovates legislation or designs macro-policy intervention systems that can effectively dismantle existing unjust structures of social injustice and inequities – the causes that perpetuate endemic global poverty. Using the theories of catalytic innovations and the bottom of the pyramid, we focus on solution (a) as being feasible, viable and doable and in the long run having the potential for eradicating global desperate poverty. We also provide two case studies where solution (b) was effectively implemented. The main proposition of the paper is that the use of both micro- and macro- catalyst can help alleviate poverty in the world. Keywords: Micro catalyst, macro catalyst, global poverty, system approach, catalytic innovation, macro-policy intervention.
Changing Trend of Capital Flows: The Case of India
Authors: Gandhi Shailesh , Bulsara Hemantkumar P. , Dhingra Vaishali S. 
Published: August 2020

Many countries witnessed enormous increases in international capital mobility after globalization. This, in turn, has improved economic integration among emerging economies and developed nations. The trend of these cross country flows of capital discloses that non-debt creating private capital flows are dominating the official flows which come in the form of official grants and private debt flows. Moreover, the portfolio equity investment which shows tremendous growth has exposed individual countries to the risk of improved volatility and sudden stops. These trends, driven by globalization, have enabled the pursuit of higher returns and portfolio diversification as well as market-oriented reforms in many countries which have liberalized access to financial markets. As a new participant in the globalization wave, India went through several structural and policy changes only in the early 1990s. India introduced a New Economic Policy guided by the IMF and the World Bank with the intention of economic stabilization. This paper reviews several literature on fundamental aspects and some former empirical evidence about globalization and capital flows to emerging economies with special reference to India. It also highlights the adverse impact of hot money along with debt flow in India. Keywords: Globalization, emerging economies, economic integration, capital flows.
The Islamic Hedging Management: Paving the Way for Innovation in Currency Options
Authors: Nordin Nadhirah , Ab. Rahman Asmak , Omar Hydzulkifli Hashim 
Published: August 2020

Islamic hedging is one of the most important tools for risk management. Currency options contracts are commonly regarded as one of the useful tools of risk management and frequently used to reduce risk associated with the movement in price and currency risk. This article attempts to review the suitability of the Islamic currency options in one of the Islamic banks in Malaysia as a hedging mechanism and highlights Shariah issues pertaining to the structures. Currency options are prohibited in Islamic finance due to the issue of riba and to the violation of the bay al-sarf rule which requires currency trading to be done on “spot” basis only. Options contract is also rejected by some scholars because of premium payment or chargeable fees to the right. In view of the overwhelming importance of currency risk management in the volatile market, the application of Shariah principles in currency market faces a great challenge to Islamic scholars today. Based on the observation of the bank’s official information disclosed to the public and the interview conducted, the finding of this research indicates that the bank permitted currency options based on the principle of tawwaruq (commodity murabahah) or bay al-inah and wa’ad (unilateral promise) which are strictly used for hedging purposes. Tawwaruq and wa’ad principles have given Islamic financial institutions the opportunity to structure Shariah compliant financial products and meet the objective of increasing trading volume and liquidity in order to reduce transaction cost and risk. Keywords: Islamic hedging, options, currency trading, tawarruq, wa’ad.
Community Demands and Resources and Work-Family Conflict: Case Study in Kuching Sarawak
Authors: Hassan Zaiton , Hasnan Nor Afiza , Sabil Surena 
Published: August 2020

Most studies on work-life balance only examine work and family domains. While work is the only role in its domain, life consists of many aspects besides family. However, research on other roles is still very limited. This study examines the influence of community (neighbour, neighbourhood, relatives, friends), and participation in Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), demands, and resources on work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC). Questionnaires were distributed to 506 employees from six public and private organisations in Kuching, Sarawak. Data were analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS Version 20. The findings showed that WFC was negatively related with demands from neighbours, relatives, and friends; and positively related with demands from participating in NGOs and resources from neighbours. FWC was negatively related with demands from neighbours, relatives, and friends; and positively related with resources from neighbours and relatives. This study provided evidence that community domain influences the WFC and FWC. Thus, organisations should consider the community domain in formulating strategies to minimise WFC and FWC experienced by the employees. Keywords: Work-family conflict, family-work conflict, community demands, and resources.

Authors: Mustaffa Najibah , Muda Mohd Zamro 
Published: August 2020

Wakaf pendidikan sudah lama diamalkan di Malaysia melalui kewujudan institusi pendidikan berbentuk tradisi seperti pondok, madrasah, sekolah agama rakyat dan sekolah agama negeri. Pada tahun 1999, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) telah mewujudkan Islamic Endowment Fund (IEF), menjadikannya sebagai institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) pertama di Malaysia yang menubuhkan tabung wakaf pendidikan yang diikuti dengan beberapa buah IPT lain dari setahun ke setahun. Artikel ini membincangkan satu perkembangan penulisan, sama ada dalam bentuk penyelidikan, buku, artikel dan sebagainya dalam membahaskan isu pengurusan wakaf pendidikan di institusi pengajian tinggi di Malaysia. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan mengambil pendekatan kajian kepustakaan. Hasil sorotan kajian yang dilakukan boleh dikatakan bahawa telah banyak penulisan, lontaran idea dan perbincangan berkenaan perkara ini dibuat oleh para sarjana, ahli akademik dan juga pihak kerajaan. Wakaf pendidikan di Malaysia dilihat semakin berkembang dengan penubuhan tabung wakaf pendidikan di beberapa buah IPT seperti UIAM, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) dan beberapa buah IPT lain lagi. Walau bagaimanapun, sehingga artikel ini dibuat, masih belum ada kajian yang meneliti secara khusus pengurusan wakaf pendidikan di IPT sedia ada selain daripada masalah dan cabaran yang dihadapi, terutamanya melibatkan aspek pengurusan dana yang menjadi tulang belakang kepada kejayaan sesuatu wakaf pendidikan. Kata kunci: Wakaf, pendidikan, pengurusan wakaf, institusi pengajian tinggi.
Kemapanan dan Daya Saing Pajak Gadai Islam Di Malaysia: Perspektif Perintis
Authors: Abdul Razak Azila , Muhammad Fidlizan , Mohd Hussin Mohd Yahya , Abdul Hadi Fatimah Salwa 
Published: August 2020

Pembiayaan pajak gadai konvensional telah wujud sejak abad ke-19 lagi. Namun, praktis pemberian pinjaman daripada pajak gadai konvensional sering dikaitkan dengan penyelewengan dan mempunyai unsur eksploitasi terhadap peminjam. Sebagai alternatif, pajak gadai Islam yang pertama telah diwujudkan pada tahun 1992 iaitu Muassasah Gadaian Islam Terengganu dengan inisiatif oleh Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Melayu Terengganu (MAIDAM). Sehingga tahun 2013, terdapat 464 buah cawangan daripada 10 institusi yang menawarkan pembiayaan pajak gadai Islam berbanding pajak gadai konvensional yang berlesen iaitu 259 buah. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis persepsi tiga perintis utama pemegang pajak gadai Islam di Malaysia iaitu MAIDAM, YaPEIM dan Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia berkaitan aspek kemapanan dan daya saing produk, isu pembiayaan berfokuskan penggunaan dan kesedaran masyarakat terhadap kewujudan pajak gadai Islam. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif yang melibatkan temu bual separa berstruktur terhadap tiga institusi perintis pajak gadai Islam. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa pajak gadai Islam berupaya untuk bersaing dan berkembang dengan penawaran sistem gadaian yang berkonsepkan syariah, pengenaan upah simpan yang rendah dan matlamat pembiayaan yang tidak berorientasikan keuntungan dan lebih kepada tanggungjawab sosial. Untuk kemapanan dan daya saing skim ini, peranan kerajaan juga amat penting terutamanya dalam mewujudkan satu akta pajak gadai Islam yang khusus serta mempertingkatkan lagi pemberian lesen kepada pemegang pajak gadai yang berpotensi. Aktiviti promosi dan hebahan maklumat melalui media massa dan elektronik juga perlu dipertingkatkan bagi memberi kesedaran dan pemahaman kepada masyarakat khususnya mereka yang beragama Islam untuk memilih skim ar-Rahnu sebagai alternatif kepada pajak gadai konvensional. Kata kunci: Pajak gadai Islam, pajak gadai konvensional, kemapanan, daya saing.
Access to Technical Assistance: A Case Study of Suppliers in the Malaysian Automotive Industry
Authors: Abdul Kadir Kadzrina , Ali Hassan , Tam On Kit 
Published: August 2020

Technology transfer has been an important area in supplier development as suppliers are expected to develop their capabilities with their technical partners. The literature has focused on supplier development programmes implemented by automakers for their suppliers. However, less focus has been on the suppliers who received them, particularly the dependent suppliers: suppliers whose major buyers account for 20% or more of their sales. Thus, the aim of this paper is to examine the experiences of the dependent suppliers with their technical partners, which was part of the supplier development program that was implemented by their major buyers. This study was based on interviews with seven supplier organisations in the Malaysian automotive industry. Findings suggest that both positive and less positive experiences were received by the dependent suppliers, and possible explanations were discussed. Keywords: Supplier development, technical assistance, technology transfer, automotive industry, qualitative study, multiple-case study.
Real Estate Market Structure: Industrial Organization Perspectives
Authors: Abdullah Muhammad Ridhuan Bos 
Published: August 2020

Existing studies of housing markets assume that property developers is a homogenous, perfectly competitive industry. It concentrates on advanced economies and the impacts of market conditions, regulatory constraints, production characteristics, institutional structure and land supply. Motivated by these circumstances and fewer literature on concentration studies in Malaysia we try to bridging the gap. This paper utilized 5-digit firm level industry data of the Malaysian Standard Industrial Classification (MSIC, 2008) on the average size of property developer establishments and market concentration to test the appropriateness of this paradigm. Our concentration ratio (CR4) results show Malaysian real estate services are considered as competitive market. Keywords: Concentration, competition, market power, real estate services.

Permission-Based Electronic Mail Factors from Recipient’s Perspective
Authors: Torkaman Saeid , Mohamed Norshidah 
Published: August 2020

The research explores permission-based electronic mail (e-mail) factors. Permission-based e-mail refers to recipients who had previously agreed to receive advertisements or messages sent via an e-mail from a company. These factors are conceptualized as recipients’ intention to open, read, click and forward e-mails. The research uses the survey research approach. The target sample was 160 post-graduate students of a business school at a leading institution of higher learning in Malaysia. Data analysis for the research was performed using SPSS Version 21. The usable number of responses was, however, 145. The results shed light into permission-based e-mail factors from a recipient’s perspective. A recipient who intends to open an e-mail has the intention to read it, click a link on it and forward it. Notably, this is driven by a specific combination of factors in an e-mail that is important from a recipient’s perspective. Implications for theory and practice are discussed herein. Keywords: Permission-based e-mail, internet marketing, electronic commerce, permission marketing.
