Published: June 2020

Communication effectiveness has been one of important factors in daily life covering workplaces, relationships, and all sorts of human interaction. As a workplace or even learning centres, any organisation shall need to practise good and effective communication, from within and outside organisation, to achieve its goals. Many researchers have developed and shared various theories, models and frameworks with regards to this topic of interest due to its cruciality to be achieved and practised. However, communication is a very broad subject and is affected by many internal and external factors. The internal and external factors may both refer to communication barriers, which could be a stimulus, a situation or even an object that may hinder or prohibit any part of a communication process making it harder for messages to be encoded and decoded precisely by parties involved. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing effective communication in an organisation. This research is a qualitative research that used questionnaires as the instrument for collection of data. The data was collected and viable at 77% out of 69 respondents which was derived from the total population of 90 elements. Sample selection was based on a non-probability approach. The data collected was then evaluated by using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) through which numerous tests were converged such as reliability test, normality test, frequency distribution, descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that organisational environment affects effective communication more than language and culture do.

Authors: Muhammud Farah Safura 
Published: June 2020

Shariah Court is an institution that plays an important role in governing divorces in Malaysia. The increase of divorce cases that occur in Malaysia pressurizes the Shariah Court in some ways. The administration of these divorce cases needs to be administered more effectively to ensure the smoothness of each case. This study was done to investigate and identify the most registered cases in the Shariah Court in Malaysia. In addition, this study serves to identify the workflow for the newly introduced project concerning divorce cases called “the fast track”. This will help to overcome the divorce case backlogs that will happen in the future. To ensure the success of this study, a number of employees has been interviewed, ranging from the judges, attorneys and assistant registrars for the Shariah Court. The results of the study showed that enactment section 47, Islamic Family Law is among the most registered cases and constantly increasing every year. The fast track is seen as a good method, but some things need to be taken care of to ensure its effectiveness. Consistent work force is also required to ensure this fast project achieves its potential in administering divorce cases in the Shariah courts.

Published: June 2020

The cultural gap in society needs to be overcome by fostering racial understanding and unity. An effective approach in Teaching and Learning (T&L) occurs when inter-cultural dialogue activities in the classroom are implemented. Dialogues between cultures refer to an interaction that occurs between two different cultural practitioners. The diversity of races, ethnicities and sub-ethnicities in Malaysia makes inter-cultural dialogues an important medium of integration and unity. This study aims to measure level of students' knowledge of popular culture from different ethnic or sub-ethnic groups before and after Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Dialog Antara Budaya (PPDaB) activities. The study was participated by 71 undergraduate students who enrolled in Ethnic Relations course (CTU 553) at Universiti Teknologi MARA in Terengganu. Based on the data collected from the questionnaires, statistical analysis using mean and sp test (standard deviation) were used to measure students' knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the given questionnaire items. The findings reveal that implementing PPDaB in the classroom may enhance the level of knowledge, create more positive attitude and interest of the students to a higher scale. Thus, innovation through the implementation of PPDaB in the classroom enhances the understanding, empathy and students' enjoyment of learning.

Authors: Mohamad Saadiah , Salah Omar , Mokhtar Mafrukhin , Syed Alwi Sharifah Faigah 
Published: June 2020

Connectivity within Association of Southeast Asian nation (ASEAN) member countries becomes a central issue in view of the ASEAN Economic Community 2015. However, progress towards ASEAN connectivity especially for infrastructure developments has been limited. One of the problems is the resource mobilization for project financing. In recent years, rising demand for Islamic securities among global investors in jurisdictions where legal framework and financial infrastructure are well established has made sukuk a cost effective and preferred method of raising finance. It has also attracted liquidity to and has made Malaysia a leading global sukuk issuer and a leading Islamic financial hub. This paper is a case study on how Malaysia has used the Public-private partnership (PPP) for infrastructure development and how this has extended into Islamic financing and further examines how this model can be expanded into other ASEAN member countries in particular the Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar (CVLM) countries where issues of infrastructure financing is critical and need to be quickly resolved in view of an enhanced ASEAN connectivity and the future of an ASEAN community development.

Authors: Shahid Irfan 
Published: June 2020

A few years ago the world suffered from a financial turmoil which emerged in the United States of America, Europe and Asia. It made a large population redundant; many businesses shuttered down and reduced consumption, production, purchasing power, GDP and leading many economies into deep recession. Consequently poor and middle class people found difficult to survive. In the beginning of the financial crisis many suggestions were propounded by economists, policy makers and bankers to reduce its impact. Several policies were implemented to combat against financial crisis yet billion of people are suffering from poverty and hunger. Prophetic teaching is a complete code of life; in its guidance there is a set of teachings which govern financial issues of the society and the market. This paper aims to explore the measure suggested in the light of the Hadith and the Quran.

Published: June 2020

This paper aims to investigate the role of home country institution in affecting outward FDI from Malaysia using data spans from 1980 to 2012. The model specification is examined in autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing framework. The empirical evidence reveals that GDP, exchange rate, openness to trade, and corporate tax rate are the key drivers of outward FDI from Malaysia. This portrays that internationalization strategy of firms is not only relied on home macroeconomic environment, but also home institution. More importantly, corporate tax rate, as one of the institution factors, is positively related to outward FDI which signifies that high tax rate would prompt local firms to engage in investment abroad as a sign of escape response. This reflects that international expansion appears to be exit strategy from home country instead of entry strategy into foreign markets. The findings have some important implications on internationalization strategy of firms.
The Economic Ideology of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: The Changing Discourses and Practices
Authors: Görmüs Evrim 
Published: June 2020

This article aims to examine the transformation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) economic ideology since Nasser’s rule in Egypt. It argues that the MB”s economic policies were shaped by the complex nature of statesociety relations in the changing political context in Egypt. As an oppositional strategy in the bi-polar political system in Egypt, the MB deviated from its liberal stance dates back to 1970s, and adopted a higly critical position against the regime’s market transformation polices by prioritizing welfare activities during the Mubarak era. The MB”s contstnat inertia in fixing its ideological inconsistencies, which was in favor of a strong state intervention in the economy, and a limited state power in politics diminished its capacity to formulate an interpretation of Islam which could be compatible with the entrepreneurial spirit and market forces during the Mubarak era in Egypt.

Authors: Mohamed Saadiah , Othman Jaizah , Lehner Othmar , Muda Ruhaini 
Published: June 2020

While the premise of Islamic finance embraces the principles of maqasid al-shariah and risk sharing with claims to social justice and welfare, the direct impact of the modern Islamic finance industry and its contribution to the social sector has been limited. This paper examines the claim among critics that there is an inherent weakness of the present day Islamic banking and finance in terms of its underdeveloped social sector and argues for the need for new models that will enhance a proliferation of shariah compliant financial products for solutions in the social sector. The paper examines the emergence in Social finance of social bonds as new financing tools targeting on social needs and problems that otherwise would not be tackled. This paper discusses the benefits of structuring such a shariah compliant product and makes recommendations for structuring this new asset class referred to in this paper as social sukuk.

Published: June 2020

A will is a financial management instrument after one’s death. Majority of Muslims in Malaysia are aware and familiar with the term Islamic ‘will’. However, the number of Muslims who write a will is very low. Studies have concluded, the reluctance factors to write a will were due to a) lack of knowledge, b) religious factor and c) financial obligation. Therefore, it is the interest of the researchers to investigate the relationships of these three contributing factors towards will adoption among urban Muslim community in Klang Valley. The paper adopts a quantitative method of research design, which utilises descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis to analyse the raw data. The results show all the independent variables have positive relationship with the dependent variable, in particular a strong significant relationship for knowledge. Thus, the paper suggests that any Muslims who are aware and has knowledge should write a will regardless of their age. In addition, writing a will before one’s death provides a peace of mind to that person.
