The method used to measure indirect tax administration efficiency is crucial; hence, this study will measure indirect tax administration efficiency using the cost-revenue ratio. Malaysia had experienced several changes related to its indirect tax system where the shift of Malaysia’s indirect tax regime is also linked to the efficiency of the indirect tax administration. The lack of empirical research on this matter urges the current study to determine the trend of indirect tax administration efficiency level under the RMCD. In this study, secondary data were obtained from RMCD Annual Report, Ministry of Finance’s Federal Government Estimated Revenue Report, Budget Report, and Treasury Annual Report to examine the trend of RMCD’s tax administration efficiency level for 7 years (2013-2019). Both administration costs and total tax revenue collection were found to affect the efficiency level of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD); however, there is no strong evidence to claim that administration costs indeed influence the total indirect tax revenue collection and vice-versa. Research findings and initial inputs from the RMCD Annual Reports are analysed to discuss and provide recommendations for future research works. The research findings provide important information for the RMCD and policymakers in improvising indirect tax administration.

Today, families are considered the main contributors to the growing market of tourism business. This trend is motivated by the growing awareness on retaining family ties and generating memories of family memories. Making decision for family sports tourism is a challenging task, especially when it involves inter-generational tourism. Although family tourism is growing globally, details of challenges that constrain family tourists varies across the globe and surprisingly no study has so far addressed the issue thoroughly especially in Malaysia. This paper relates the challenges experienced by families of different income levels in family sports tourism at Pulau Langkawi. The objectives were answered based on a survey conducted among 243 family sports tourists at Pulau Langkawi and data collected using questionnaire was statistically tested using MANOVA. Regardless of family income level, quantitative findings identified the influential challenges in significant order as structural constraints, interpersonal constraints, and intrapersonal constraints, with participation fee as the main constraint factor. Family sports tourists of different income group were not significantly constrained by any specific barrier. There is a potential of gaining more knowledge on the barriers experienced in family sports tourism by focusing on other demographic variables. This paper generates a better thought on the challenges experienced in family sports tourism and the prospect in the upcoming sports tourism business.

The growth of the Internet and the usage of electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones, have increased e-banking services usage, especially online and mobile bankings. This is a great opportunity to identify and understand which factors would significantly affect the user’s intention to use e-banking services and to give the determining factors of e-banking services in the aspect of the users. This could help banking-related companies to improve their services and products. Quantitative analysis was used in this paper to measure the relationships between e-banking services and user’s intention. In the data collection process, questionnaire was distributed to 390 Malaysians, aged 18 and above, who stay in Klang valley. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software will be used to analyse the collected data based on Pearson’ correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis to determine the result.

A low participation of the Orang Asli students can be seen in the local education system and has persisted even after decades of study and enforcement of several government policies. This paper reviews prior research on Indigenous education, to determine how the Orang Asli students are impacted by the mainstream educational curriculum. In attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) vision of “Education for All” and ensuring that the indigenous students succeed in school, this paper is of the view that it is crucial that a culturally compatible curriculum is implemented in schools. Besides, teachers may need to tailor their teaching style to the Orang Asli students’ needs to allow a more enhanced learning outcome while retaining their cultural competence.

In Malaysia, online grocery shopping is an emerging field where consumer trust has become a key factor affecting its growth and prosperity. Although grocery shopping does not account for a significant share of total consumer spending, it plays an irreplaceable role due to its unique characteristics of perishability and variability, which makes it relevant to consumers' quality of life. This article aims to explore false advertising, quality issues, logistics and reputation in relation to consumer trust in grocery shopping, using non-probability sampling research techniques in 390 questionnaires from consumers aged between 18 and 45. This article finds that false advertising and logistics have little direct association with consumer trust, while quality issues and reputation have a positive impact on consumer trust in online grocery shopping. Our study fills a gap in this area at this stage. And makes further recommendations to the government, online shopping platforms and grocers, so as to strengthen their regulation, purify the business activities in the market and promote the growth and prosperity of online grocery shopping in Malaysia in light of this research finding.

Financial statement fraud is seen as a rampant problem around the world. Early detection is one of the ways to curb financial statement fraud, and it has motivated this study to be conducted. The main objective of this study is to investigate the primary factors that influence the public listed companies in Malaysia to be involved in financial statement fraud. The sample used in this study comprised 40 financial statement fraud companies matched with another 40 non-financial statement fraud companies listed in Bursa Malaysia from 2003 to 2020. This study used the fraud triangle theory to form the research framework and develop the research hypotheses. Four hypotheses based on the elements of fraud, which are the financial target, external pressure, earnings management, and related-party transaction, have been developed and tested. Regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the elements of fraud and financial statement fraud to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that financial targets, earnings management, and related-party transaction are accepted. However, external pressure was rejected. Interestingly, it was found that the fraud companies had poorer earnings quality one year before they committed the financial statement fraud. Overall, this study would assist the auditors as it identifies early warning signals or red flags. Information obtained from this study could be used by Bursa Malaysia to develop strong regulations and encourage the Malaysian public listed companies to enhance anti-fraud policies.

Building a substantial brand identity value has become a key issue for many companies' reputation. In previous years, the majority of studies focused on the consumer's perspective towards organizations’ brand equity value. Thus, this study expanded on earlier research by offering a more in-depth exploration and understanding of organizations' perspective on how they develop their brand identity through social media platforms. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews was employed to explore the small medium enterprise (SME) of food and beverage service industry. Interviews were conducted with independent food truck businesses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This study yielded results that showed respondents' interest in brand identity building on social media platforms. Creating a brand identity perception that is recognized by its customers through social media has become an essential activity for food truck (FT) owners to communicate their brand digitally.

Safety and health are important factors of any organization to ensure smooth and effective functioning. Occupational safety and health (OSH) awareness among the workers in the prevention of occupational injuries and illness. Various programmes have been implemented by the government and private organizations to increase the knowledge and awareness of OSH in the workplace including among institution higher learning staff in Malaysia. A study was undertaken to identify factors influencing the awareness level of OSH among the staff of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in Pulau Pinang Malaysia. A self-administered online questionnaire was distributed to the staff through UiTM email and 193 staff had responded. The questionnaire covered 43 questions and was divided into seven (7) factors that influence awareness level. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 and presented in descriptive statistics. The study revealed that the highest level of awareness factor was OSH policy with a mean score of 4.90 while the lowest level factor was safety and health committee with a mean score of 3.90. The analysis of all factors indicated that non-academic staff awareness towards OSH is higher than academic staff with a mean score of 4.51 and 4.41 respectively. The university management should increase the role of the safety and health committee so that it can conduct more safety and health activities such as safety talks, training, and campaign through posters and signage on the campus. Good OSH management is very important to prevent an accident at the workplace towards the development of a safety culture.
安全和健康是保证任何组织顺利有效运作的重要因素。提高工人在预防职业伤害和疾病方面的职业安全与健康意识。政府和私营组织实施了各种方案，以提高工作场所包括马来西亚高等院校工作人员对职业安全与卫生的认识和认识。进行了一项研究，以确定影响马来西亚槟榔屿马拉理工大学(Universiti technologii MARA)工作人员职业安全卫生意识水平的因素。通过联合管理研究所的电子邮件向工作人员分发了一份自我管理的在线调查表，有193名工作人员作出了答复。问卷共43个问题，分为7个影响认知水平的因素。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第20版对数据进行分析，并以描述性统计方式呈现。研究发现，职业安全卫生政策的意识因子水平最高，平均得分为4.90分;安全卫生委员会的意识因子水平最低，平均得分为3.90分。各因素分析表明，非教学人员的职业安全健康意识高于教学人员，平均得分分别为4.51分和4.41分。大学管理层应该加强安全与健康委员会的作用，使其能够通过校园海报和标牌开展更多的安全与健康活动，如安全讲座、培训和宣传活动。良好的职业安全与健康管理对预防工作场所的意外事故和发展安全文化非常重要。
