Inter-cultural marriage is increasingly common in many societies, yet inter-cultural relationships remain at a higher risk of failure, with higher divorce rates and lower marital satisfaction. The present study analyzed a growing phenomenon in Bangladesh and Malaysia known as intercultural or mixed families. The main objective was to explore challenge associated with inter-cultural relationships, and to determine how these relate to marital satisfaction among foreign partners in inter-cultural families. This study explores five inter-cultural married couples’ experiences using a qualitative inquiry. In this study, we demonstrated the condition of inter-cultural married couples by examining their challenges with respect to inter-cultural adjustment, religious practice, and parental commitment.

This paper aims to examine the challenges encountered by Malaysia enforcement border agencies to protect the sovereignty of Malaysia and its prospects of integration among various agencies at the border. With a wide boundary, the Malaysian security is porous to various threats which not only mean a traditional military threat but also include multiple threats. Current threats have been broadening to include transnational criminals such as illegal immigrants, smuggling people or prohibited goods or even non-traditional threats such as terrorism. In order to control such threats, there are several government agencies and legal enforcement which are responsible to protect Malaysian sovereignty such as The Royal Malaysian Police, Royal Malaysian Customs Department, Malaysian Department of Immigration, and Malaysian Border Control Agency and Malaysian Armed Forces as well. These agencies are responsible to manage the Malaysian border at various legal checkpoints such as air, sea and land checkpoints. The Malaysian Armed Forces, on the other hand, has been responsible to manage illegal route along the Malaysian border especially in the jungle. In order to manage a broad scope and complexities of the border, some scholars develop a concept of Coordinated Border Management (CBM) or Integrated Border Management or Collaborative Border Management, or Comprehensive Border Management in order to integrate all different border agencies. There is an urgent need for border agencies to coordinate their actions in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of border procedures. All the challenges will discuss further in this article.

The views and opinions of the Public Higher Education Institute (PHEI) students could change the landscape of politics and administration in the future. This study examined the political responsibility of students which is defined as an act of turnout in the campus selection process and the status of registration as a voter with the Election Commission (EC). The samples for this study were taken from five research universities (RU) with a total of 1349 students and the data is obtained from the Institute of Ethnic Studies. The purpose of this study was to develop an initial model of political responsibility. The analysis used is structural equation modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the data of study correspond to the four latent variables in the measurement models of political responsibility which are media, perception, involvement and political literacy. Political literacy is the most influential factor for political responsibility besides perception and involvement.

This study discusses Malaysia's stand and commitment in its foreign policy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. Malaysia's foreign policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts is to prioritize security and stability in the region of West Asia or the Middle East. A more important aspect is Malaysia's commitment to the liberation of the Palestinian land from the conquest and oppression of the Zionist regime which is strongly supported by the major powers such as the United States and Britain. Although various peace negotiations have been held between Israel and Palestine, yet such concrete solutions have not yet been achieved in absolute terms. The objective of this paper is to analyze the reason Malaysia is actively involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. The methodology that was used in this research is using primary resources such as files and documents from National Archive Kuala Lumpur, Official Statements of Parliament of Malaysia, speech texts and newspaper clippings. The finding shows that Malaysia is involved in the conflict due to the humanitarian and Islamic religion.

This chapter discusses the battle of the three political regimes in Malaysia, the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), in the 14th General Election and the formation of Perikatan Nasional (PN) after the collapse of the PH government. The BN coalition has shown its political influence throughout 63 years of ruling the country since independence which has been hard to break by other opposition parties in Malaysia. BN has manipulated various government instruments in ruling to form a strong political hegemony that affects the voting behaviour of voters in determining rational choice, especially when elections are conducted. However, the strong political domination has been broken by the opposition movement that began in the 12th General Election that eventually toppled the old political regime, BN in the last GE-14. The failure of BN to defend its position as a government is due to several factors including scandals and misuse of power by political leaders, the weaknesses of the government in addressing economic issues, and pressures faced by the people on the cost of living, and limited employment opportunities. Issues that arise are then manipulated by the opposition parties at the same time, which managed to convince voters to change their support from BN to PH in the last GE-14. However, PH, which then had the opportunity to govern the country with a dilemma, as it failed to capitalize on the opportunity and fulfilled its manifesto as promised in their election campaigns. Subsequently, Malaysians, especially the voters in a series of by-election have begun to send a message to the government by voting for opposition candidates as a gesture of protest against the PH government. Furthermore, an analysis of the developments and dilemmas of the direction of the two political regimes before and after the GE-14 is discussed in detail in this chapter.
