Authors: MUSA AZIZAH 
Published: February 2021

Tourism industry’s development recently is irrefutably hit the international awareness and sparked the local interest. Statistical data of Tourism Malaysia showed a rise of 6.8 per cent tourists’ growth from 2018 leads to the figure of 13.35 million international tourists in 2019. Malaysia, as a multicultural country with the majority of 63.7% of the population are Muslims, should take active steps to intensify the ways in discovering the market needs. Desires of Islam need to be cleared and the spirit of Maqasid Shariah have to be manifested equally to the Muslim and the non-Muslim. This paper therefore, aims to discuss on the necessity to clarify the relevancy of having Islamic hotel as to align with the basic principles of Maqasid Shariah and to see whether the current practices and policies are coherent with the Maqasid. This qualitative study embarked on content analysis from a few relevant policies and previous studies. In addition, an in-depth interview was conducted with two relevant local authorities. Having analyzed the information gained, it was found that as now, no specific legislative Islamic hotel policy was in place. However, few limited existing guidelines are found to intrinsically applying the Principles of Maqasid Shariah. The results presented here have profound implications on a proper drafting of an inclusive Islamic Hotel policy in the future. It is hoped that Maqasid will be set as a benchmark for the future policy setting as this will boost the confidence of the tourists in visiting the country.

Authors: JURIAH ABD JALIL HALYANI HASSAN, 
Published: February 2021

Directors and employees are individuals who involved in the course of company’s business and would inevitably expose themselves to company’s confidential information. At present there are in existence legal provisions imposing duties upon the directors and employees for the purpose of protecting the company’s confidential information. In addition, the employees would normally be subjected to non-disclosure agreement upon their employment. The progress of the present technology has exposed company’s information at a high risk to be manipulated by individuals who involved in the company. This paper aims to discuss the viability of the present safeguard in protecting the company’s confidential information. The research intends to analyse decided cases on the approach adopted in determining whether there is misused or misappropriation of company‘s confidential information by the directors or the employees. The discussion would also focus on whether the non-disclosure of company’s confidential information would still be relevant when the directors or employees leave the company. In suggesting improvement for the present scenario it would be pertinent to analyse as well case laws from different jurisdiction. This study would be significant to ensure that the company’s confidential information is being sufficiently protected so that the company would remain competitive and dynamic

Authors: Et al. FARIHANA ABDUL RAZAK 
Published: February 2021

E-businesses and online transaction have become a norm in today’s society. One of the industries that use e-businesses extensively is tourism business and buying online flight ticket is the most common feature of today’s way of travelling. In online booking of flight ticket transaction, the standard terms and standard form contracts are generally used to legalize the transactions and consumers have to agree to all the standard terms prior to payment and finalizing the transaction.
Unfair contract terms are terms which may unfairly exclude or limit liabilities in a contract and such terms are legal and binding if agreed and accepted by the contractual parties. It is observed that the application of unfair contract terms is not knowingly or conscientiously accepted by one or some contractual parties as they are normally inserted as standard terms in standard form contracts. It is perceived that with the current practices of standard terms and standard form contracts in online booking of flight tickets, consumers might be a prey of unfair contract terms. This normally occurs when consumers or purchaser agreed to all terms of the airlines operators/companies without properly or vigilantly reading the whole agreements.
This paper analyse the principles, application and effect of unfair contract terms in online booking of flight tickets agreements. For the purpose of discussion in this paper, references are only made to online terms and contract used by airlines companies incorporated in Malaysia.

Authors: Dr. Jyotika Teckchandani Dhiraj Vij, 
Published: February 2021

India and the international community at large to witness transformations in the global order post-Covid-19 era and this provides large scale opportunities to the nation of 1.3 billion to play a dominant role in international geo-political map. Pre Covid-19 days, world witnessed the dominance of United States of America and newly emerging superpower China in the first two decades of 21st century. The international community, always, was sceptical of China's economic growth story and military might, worried about its muscular and aggressive foreign policy in Asian continent and across the boundaries. The business will no longer be equivalent to the pre-Covid days and other nations are looking for self-reliance or other sources for meeting their indispensable needs, apart from China. Therefore, in the post-Covid era in meeting these global expectations, India can be the global leader, whether in a health, economic, technological or pharmaceutical sector.
India, the largest democracy in the world, enjoys international support and cooperation and with US support can be the leading player in the international order, being better placed than any other nation in fighting this pandemic. India can be the new supply chain of the US and other western states. To become the global leader, India first need to act and survive this onslaught by Covid-19 and then thrive towards achieving the global leader status after taking advantages of opportunities such as new alliances in middle-east, rivalries between the United States of America and China.

The concept of the research is based on the study of middle-level cloud cover, and its upper span reaches 6 km, and it may exceed that up to 7 km, as it may overlap slightly in the level of high clouds.In terms of frequency, the upper and lower limit for the period 1988-2018 and spatially for the nine types of middle-level clouds by choosing 13 climate monitoring stations distributed geographically. The study showed that the highest annual average monthly recurrence for the first type was recorded for the Diwaniyah station during April, the second type for the Mosul station in December, the third for Baghdad in December, the fourth type for the Diwaniyah station in November and the fifth in the Al-Hayy station in January, the sixth for the Baghdad station in October and the seventh for the Khalis station in March and the eighth station of Nasiriyah in November.
