Social mobility is a process of change or movement of a person or a group from one position to another in a society. Quality of life refers to the comfort of living in a living environment. Thia article examines the social community and quality of life in the island fishing community in Pulau Aman Village in Penang. This study is to examine the pattern of social mobility and the level of quality of life in the fishing community in Pulau Aman. This study uses a quantitative method by distributing a set of questions to 52 respondents consisting of heads of families. The results of the study found that the social mobility of the island fishing community of Pulau Aman showed vertical social mobility in all dimension studied, namely education, employment and income. Educational social mobility showed the highest percentage increase in vertical mobility. Meanwhile, in terms of quality of life, respondents showed positive findings to all dimensions studied with a mean value between 2.72 to 4.58 where the dimension of work environment (4.58) represents the highest mean value while the dimension of public safety (2.72) is the lowest. These findings can be used as a guide to the relevant parties in improving the quality of life of the community in Pulai Aman.

Pollution of rivers is a serious topic that is frequently brought up by people from all walks of life all around the world including Malaysia. Domestic wastes, industrial pollutants, as well as agricultural wastes, including harmful and dangerous materials, have been discharged into the rivers directly or indirectly. The inflow of these hazardous pollutants not only pollutes river water but also sediment and aquatic life. Rivers, as we all know, are one of the contributors to the clean water supply in most parts of the world. River pollution has an impact on the availability of clean water used for a range of purposes, including domestic, industrial, and agricultural. Pollution, on the other hand, depletes the supply of food derived from rivers, such as fish and shrimp. The health of users, including humans, animals, and plants, will be affected by the consumption and usage of water, as well as the aquatic life of contaminated rivers. This article exposes the harsh reality of river pollution that we must all accept. To protect our rivers, it is critical to determine and know exactly the pollution sources, causes, and effects of the contaminants on rivers’ ecosystems, humans, and animals. When it comes to reducing current river pollution, prevention measures such as public awareness and continuous monitoring are preferable to treatment. In addition, significant research in the area of wastewater monitoring, as well as strict regulations, are required to manage global river pollution. This is important to prevent the continuous pollution of our rivers, which is primarily the result of negligent human actions. For rivers that have been identified as polluted, water treatment technologies including ozonation, chlorination, and aerobic granulation can be applied to remediate the pollutant residues. This is to ensure that the global community receives a clean and safe water supply.

There has been a growing concern over the escalating signs of climate change that could adversely affect the production of rice in ASEAN region. This study attempts to assess the impact of climate change on food security measured in terms of rice yield, with the focus being on ASEAN member countries. Panel data are collected on nine ASEAN countries and static panel data equations are estimated. In addition, the dynamic panel ARDL technique is also adopted to investigate the long-term and short-term cointegration between the variables. The findings show mixed results of impact of CO2 on rice yield among majority of ASEAN member countries in short-run which signify the positive CO2 fertilization effect in the region over the adverse impact of temperature increase on rice yield. In long-run, however, the negative effects are projected which might reduce rice yield in this tropical area. Thus, serious collaboration between developing and least-developed countries in the region to address the issues in agriculture and rice production is very crucial to solve food insecurity within the region in the long-term.

This paper investigates the link between CO2 emissions, average temperature, planted area, fertiliser use, and rice productivity in Malaysia., covering the period from 1980 to 2018. For this purpose, the study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and Error Correction Model (ECM) to examine the short-run and long-run relationship among the selected variables of this study. The empirical results obtained from the analysis suggest that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and temperature have a long-term favourable influence on rice output in Malaysia but a short-term detrimental impact. Finally, the results obtained from several diagnostic and stability tests are robust, stable, and reliable. The finding of this study could be highly significant for adequate policymaking to reduce the impact of climate change in Malaysia.

The main purpose of this paper is to explore corporate social and environmental reporting (CSER) practices among Malaysian telecommunication companies. Using benchmarking analysis, the paper attempts to identify the current status of the CSER practices in comparison with an identified benchmark company. The empirical examination encompasses a sample that includes the annual reports of four telecommunication companies from 2013 to 2017. A content analysis approach has been applied to these annual reports. The findings show that categories of “corporate governance” and “community” received the highest amount of disclosure over the period of five years, while the least amount of disclosure was found in the “employee relation” category. It is recommended that low-level disclosures on employee relation be given more prominence by policymakers, management, and other relevant stakeholders. Such information is seen as being of critical importance to value enhancement, as uncertainty about environmental impacts of organizations is thought to have an increasing effect on financial performance.

Typically, the aerospace industry used numerous non-renewable resources, like titanium and alloy. Additionally, the design of the flight's materials also involves the use of fossil fuel. In fact, the aerospace industry is strongly related with air pollution. Nonetheless, energy is important in improving social and economic and its increasing demand related to increase in industrialization, population and has improved people’s lifestyles. Hence, this study aims to examine the relationships between employees’ energy awareness, knowledge and energy efficiency in the aerospace industry in Malaysia. Based on the data collected from 210 employees in the aerospace industry, findings show that energy awareness and knowledge of the employees are strongly influencing energy efficiency practices of the organisation. As such, this paper sheds some light on organisational energy efficiency practices and provides valuable insights on how businesses can capitalise on employees’ energy awareness and knowledge in enhancing energy efficiency practices leading towards sustainable development.

This study demonstrates the adaptation of Social Exchange Theory (SET) to examine the relationship between community attachment, community involvement, residents' place image, perceived benefits, perceived costs, and residents' support of Penang sustainable tourism development. A total of 196 data were collected face-to-face by a self-administered questionnaire to residents who live in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. A partial least squares (PLS) analysis was applied to assess the measurement model and the structural model. The proposed model showed useful predictive and explanatory power. Community involvement exhibited a significant effect on residents' support of tourism development. Surprisingly, community attachment, residents' place image, perceived benefits, and perceived cost were found to be insignificant to residents' support. There is a positive relationship between community attachment and residents' place image with perceived benefits and perceived costs. On the contrary, the influence of community involvement towards perceived benefits and perceived costs were not supported. The findings of this study provide a better understanding of the factors that influence residents' support on sustainable tourism development in Penang, Malaysia. Additionally, this study also provides insightful implications to regulatory bodies, owners of tourism businesses, and property developers.

This study examined the relationship between public risk perception, public awareness, public knowledge and public adaptation towards climate change policies in Malaysia, with attitude towards climate change as the mediator. This study adopted selfadministered online questionnaires to collect inputs from Malaysians across all states. A total of 200 usable data was analysed in this study. The SPSS was used for the descriptive statistics analysis and SmartPLS was used for the measurement model and structural model analysis. Based on the findings, the results show that public risk perception has a significant effect on public adaptation towards climate change. Besides, public attitude mediates the relationship between public risk perception and adaptation towards climate change policy. These results will be useful for the government and industries in understanding public perceptions and attitudes towards climate change policies initiated by the government. Thus, it provides insights for the government in formulating climate change policy.

The study is aimed to test the structural relationship between brand personality dimensions, selfcongruity (i.e., actual and ideal self-congruity) and revisit intention. Brand personality was conceptualised as a five-dimensional construct including sincerity, excitement, competence, sophistication, and ruggedness. When Chinese outbound tourists perceived various personality traits of destination brand, it might influence their revisit intentions to Glasgow, UK. The current study proposed that self-congruity exerted mediating effects between five dimensions of brand personality and revisit intention. Structural equation modelling was applied to confirming the hypothesis testing. Findings of current study suggested that only two dimensions (sincerity and excitement) had an indirect impact on revisit intention through ideal self-congruity. Furthermore, this study contributed to the extant literature by partially confirming self-congruity theory in the setting of Glasgow tourism. Research findings are also beneficial to destination marketing organisations (DMOs) in their efforts to make Glasgow destination attract more repeated Chinese tourists.
