The purpose of this research is to study the impact of safety and health towards construction workforce productivity among G3 contractor in Kuantan, Pahang. Previous research found that poor performance of time and budget, wastage in site and low productivity are mainly caused by the safety and health issues happen in construction industry. The lack of safety concern based on insufficient safety compliance and poor attitude towards safety. While poor safety measure on working environment and material storage causes injuries and accident that affect works in site. Lack of health concern base on physical health issue we discuss about respiratory illness and mental health issue about stress and burnout has found affect the most among construction workers. Quantitative research is used to collect data and analyse by using PLS-SEM model. The data has applied to test the hypothesis based on the research objective. This research has collected 152 responses from G3 contractor workers in Kuantan, Pahang. Hence, the result of this survey is slightly limited but it could be used as a reference for future study base on safety and health topic.

In an ideal world, publicly listed companies would be forced to publish a report on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The abandonment of SDG reporting in annual reports by public corporations is the focus of this study. We noticed in recent years that many companies are unable to recognise and commit to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their annual reports. We observed that Malaysia prioritises economic growth above environmental concerns. Malaysia's economic growth and health system have been jeopardised as a result of the current COVID-19 outbreak. It will be difficult to achieve the other sustainable development objectives if there is a significant prevalence of chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases, as well as a lack of physical, mental, and social well-being in society. In this study, a collection of primary data gathered from the Bursa Malaysia will be used for performance analysis and forecasting. The analytical tools used for this inquiry were Power BI and RapidMiner. In the first activity, we discovered that software and services businesses who use IR 4.0 had the best SDG implementation performance. According to the study, there is a significant relationship between organisations' use of IR 4.0 and their efforts to fulfil the SDGs. It will be easier to meet the Sustainable Development Goals with broad IR 4.0 adoption in a company. According to the results of the survey, Selangor is the state with the highest degree of company SDG implementation. In conclusion, predicted data reveal that states and specific SDGs have a substantial influence on corporate adoption of SDGs. Finally, Selangor-based software and service enterprises provide the most contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Natural catastrophes and disasters may cause the destruction of infrastructure and personal property. In order to reduce the effects of such tragedies, the effectiveness of the evacuation procedures is essential. Effective evacuation procedures, however, also depend on governance issues in addition to technical aspects like infrastructure and communication. This paper intends to review on how governance, and evacuation protocols relate to emergency preparedness and disaster management (DM). Thus, this study explores the use of agent-based and social force theory in developing evacuation simulation models that incorporate evacuation governance strategies. Practitioners and policymakers can better understand the elements that determine the effectiveness of evacuation procedures and create more efficient methods for disaster management and emergency response by modelling human behaviour in disaster circumstances. The policy is an illustration of how governance elements can be integrated into evacuation procedures and guidelines for effective DM. Thus, the expected result for this study emphasises the significance of governance for policymakers and practitioners in the execution of evacuation procedures.

Flood management can be defined as the technique and strategy to reduce the risk and damage from flooding. The efficient strategies for the both short-term and long-term plans is needed in order to minimise losses and damage during disaster happen. Flood governance entails the need of a coordinated system in dealing with this natural disaster. The phases of the flood disaster management cycle such as flood preparedness, flood mitigation, Emergency Response Plan (ERP), and flood recovery helped the federal government and states government to overcome the flood disaster. In Malaysia, the disaster management undergoes three levels, where each level is governed by a committee with specified responsibilities. Flood disaster mitigation is crucial since it is possible to prevent damage that is brought upon by flood disaster. During the flood event, all the flood victims must be allocated to relief center. The allocation process needs to be conducted efficiently to avoid much worse incidents happening. The aims of this paper review are to explore the existing knowledge on flood mitigation and to identify Location-allocation model currently applied to solve allocation of flood victims to relief centre.The paper review is based on secondary data to give comparison and recommendation in achieving the objective. However, lack of coordination remains an issue that could potentially be tackled using a more efficient framework. Further researches are needed to test the effectiveness of this framework in improving flood governance.

The purpose of this study is to see how customer demand changes when Malaysian e-commerce hosts a major event affect the warehouse operations. This is due to the fact that, when compared to non-major events, the pricing are very reasonable. As a result, when the major events happen, e-commerce especially the warehouse operations will face significant challenges in managing customer orders. Long lines can be found in the picking and packing sections. Orders will then be shipped later than anticipated. In this study, Company X is one of the e-commerce companies affected by this issue. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) was used as the method in measuring the warehouse performance under study. By introducing several scenarios that are appropriate for company X, the company's warehouse performance is found to be more efficient in terms of reducing process queuing time and resource utilization.

This study aims to determine the impact of corporate governance mechanism on the directors' remuneration disclosure level and firm value. Data were collected from annual reports of 200 selected companies listed in Bursa Malaysia from 2013 to 2019. Pooled OLS, longitudinal data and 2SLS was carried out to accomplish the objective. The results show that board independence significantly impact the directors’ remuneration disclosure level while CEO duality and board size are insignificant on the directors’ remuneration disclosure level. Another finding revealed that directors’ remuneration disclosure level and board size were significant in affecting the firm value. It was also found that directors’ remuneration disclosure does not mediated the relationship between board structure and firm value. This finding deserves the attention of the stakeholders, investors, policymakers, and organizations in modelling a high-level disclosure and governance structure in the corporate environment in enhancing firm value.

Urbanization has extensively impacted the climate change issues as the ground level temperatures are dramatically increased from the greenhouse gas emissions (carbon emissions) caused by business operations globally. Consistently, the main contributor of climate change is from the power generation sector that emitted the highest carbon emissions from their coal burning activities. Amidst these circumstances, the growth of the development of policies and commitments in mitigating the issues had exponentially taken place globally. This research aims to observe the level of carbon emissions and climate change engagement through corporate reporting in Malaysia. Thus, this research analyses the main power producer in Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional Berhad for the year 2015 to year 2021. Based on the content analysis of annual reports, sustainability reports, and website’s statements, the overall results indicate that the level of reporting had significantly increased in 2018 with the introduction of new mandatory guidelines from Bursa Malaysia as well as the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their corporate reporting. The findings suggest that the awareness on the company to mitigate the issues as a goal congruence with Malaysia’s commitments internationally on climate change by communicating through corporate reporting.
城市化对气候变化问题产生了广泛的影响,因为全球商业活动造成的温室气体排放(碳排放)导致地面温度急剧升高。一直以来,气候变化的主要贡献者来自发电部门,因为他们的燃煤活动排放了最高的碳排放量。在这种情况下,在全球范围内,减轻这些问题的政策和承诺的发展呈指数增长。本研究旨在通过马来西亚的企业报告观察碳排放水平和气候变化参与。因此,本研究分析了2015年至2021年马来西亚主要电力生产商Tenaga Nasional Berhad的情况。根据年度报告、可持续发展报告和网站声明的内容分析,总体结果表明,随着马来西亚证券交易所引入新的强制性指导方针以及在公司报告中采用可持续发展目标(sdg),报告水平在2018年显着提高。研究结果表明,通过公司报告进行沟通,公司意识到要减轻这些问题,并将其作为与马来西亚在国际上对气候变化的承诺相一致的目标。

Occupational fraud costs the average firm 5% of its annual income. This equates to a $3.7 trillion yearly loss due to fraud worldwide. The bulk of reported losses (51.9%) were less than $200,000. Financial statement fraud is the most expensive type of occupational fraud, with an average loss of $1,000,000. The most popular methods of detecting fraud are tips (42.2%), management reviews (16.0%), and internal audits (14.1%). Surprisingly, external audits (done by CPA firms) account for just about 3.0% of fraud detection. The majority of cases of fraud identified through tips come from workers (49.0%), followed by consumers (21.6%). Financial reports have been used to anticipate stock return, and firms with top management counsel (TMC) are less likely to see their stock price fall. Therefore, this paper offers a review of the research on earnings management conducted in earlier studies. The problem arising from earnings management will be covered under dilemma in earnings management disclosure studies. Next, evidence of earning management activities is discussing on the previous studied of earnings management. This study also investigates the approaches employed by early researchers to address this problem.

State Islamic Religious Council (SIRCs) in Malaysia were established for the social welfare under the purview of state enactments in an Islamic setting.
