Food logistics services is a fast-paced and globalized industry that enables short-lived and perishable supply chains transported from initial sources to customers within weeks, days, and sometimes hours. However, some concern arises as it poses several risks and exposes the food to hazards due to quick handling and the large volume involved. This paper briefly discusses the types of hazard associated with halal food logistics and identify the potential source of hazards that may occur during the activities. The study focuses on perishable food. The study identifies hazards during product handoffs or transfers at ports, transfer facilities, distribution centres (movement into or out of), and customer deliveries. The result established two out of the eight logistics activities evaluated to have control points (CP) and halal CP; which are storage temperature checks and product packaging and repackaging activity such as the need to do segregation, temperature control and packaging during food transport. The study suggests control measures to reduce or prevent the hazard. The information presented here is valuable for the food logistics providers in delivering products to the customer in adequate condition at the right time.

The implementation of educational policies is often related to entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurship policies have become the newest phenomenon in Malaysia in the country's attempts to reduce and eradicate poverty. Until today, there is limited knowledge on how social entrepreneurship can become a catalyst for a community's economic advancement and closing the social gaps within the society. This paper aims to explain further and provide knowledge regarding social entrepreneurship as a strategy to enhance national higher education policies. Through extensive literature analysis, social entrepreneurship is placed within the context of higher education institutions in implementing ethical and moral values. This conceptual framework encompasses the concept of economic development, social development of a community, social entrepreneurship principles, the less fortunate, and the role of the suggested higher education institution. This paper will contribute to future literature regarding social entrepreneurship and can help the entrepreneurial system as they establish social enterprises based on real solutions for communities. The results of this research are expected to assist various parties, such as academics, policymakers, social entrepreneurs, government and private companies, and the community, in better understanding social entrepreneurship. It will also spread the impact of social entrepreneurship into the existing social entrepreneurial education system in Malaysia. Therefore, the discussions around the social entrepreneurship model will measure whether social entrepreneurship has been carried out to its fullest according to the fundamental concept of overcoming and helping solve social problems, exceptionally the less fortunate.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a zoonotic respiratory epidemic declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). As a result, COVID-19 has caused food shortages in almost every country, including Brunei Darussalam. During the COVID-19 pandemic. Brunei has had shortages of meat products such as chicken, lamb, and processed meat. Food crime, such as smuggling meat products in Brunei Darussalam, has resulted from halal meat shortages. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the causes of halal-related food crimes in Brunei Darussalam and the proposed solutions. This study employs a library research method, and the data gathered is analysed qualitatively. This study discovered that, amid COVID-19, there are emerging threats of food criminality. As a result, relevant parties face a significant challenge in not only combating food criminality, which has the potential to harm the halal food industry but also in managing food shortages.

As an Islamic nation producing Halal food products, Halal food producers in Brunei are expected to have essential economic strategies to exploit the benefits of the Halal market, and eventually drive the country in becoming a global Halal hub. However, due to the scarcity of information and limited availability of knowledge on Brunei as a global Halal hub, it is difficult to determine the position of Brunei as a hub. Thus, the main aim of this research is to investigate whether Brunei has grown into a global-regional halal hub, specifically on in food production. The research findings do suggest that Brunei is well connected in terms of exportation and outsourcing activity on raw materials, technology, and services, on a regional scale. Network embeddedness through strategic coupling and decoupling of inter and intra-firms’ relations within and beyond the borders based on cost-capability ratio, the infrastructure for business transactions, and the network complementarities in terms of raw materials, technologies, research and development (R&D), and services have an impact on Brunei's hub in the making’ status. However, some aspects need to be addressed that can affect long-term sustainability and competitiveness. This includes producers’ production capabilities marked by lack of R&D, low intensity of exportation activity, and the lack of two-ways traffic communication between the government and the private sectors. This, if not addressed, will hinder the expansion of Brunei into the global market and stifles the country’s current progress to upgrade itself into a global halal hub.

Astrotourism is tourism that uses astronomy as its main attraction. As astrotourism requires astronomy phenomena, it requires a location free from light pollution. As some have posited locations free from light pollution as one of the cultivating elements for maintaining sustainability, Astrotourism can be used to achieve sustainability. Sustainability can be put under the umbrella of Maqasid Syariah and halal tourism. It is thus of utmost importance to demonstrate the unique capabilities of Malaysia as a viable Astrotourism attraction and how it can help achieve the goal of sustainability, both of which are the objectives of this research. Two methods are employed in this study; the first is to identify potential Astrotourism sites using the dark sky database, light pollution mapping and Garstang formulation of light pollution. The second method is comprised of identifying the cultivating elements of sustainability. Through this method, three potential Astrotourism sites could enhance the notion of sustainability, including sustainability from the economic, wellbeing and biodiversity aspects and, more importantly, sustainability towards the holistic practice of Islam. This demonstrates the encompassing benefit of Astrotourism towards sustainability and its development potential in Malaysia.

Collagen is essential to a human being because it is an important source of amino acids. Lack of collagen may cause health problems such as decreased joint elasticity and aging. Collagen is in high demand, especially in food and beverages, cosmetics, and health industries. Nevertheless, the sources of collagens and gelatins are recently being questioned, particularly among Muslim users, on the status of halãlness. The study's objective is to derive the guiding principles from the Qur’ãnic and Prophetic points of view related to sources of collagen products. This study also aims to explore the tendency that consumers in Malaysia will choose halal collagen in their consumption and its determinants. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are adopted. Analytical, inductive, and deductive approaches are used under the qualitative method. Descriptive and logistic regression are used under the quantitative method in which data are collected from a survey. The study finds that any collagen products sourced from bovine bone, bovine hide, porcine skin, and non-slaughtered animals are non-halal. The sources obtained that might affect the ecosystem and environment are highly discouraged in Islam, and the use of recombinant collagen-like protein from selected bacteria is permissible as long as it complies with the related halal and health regulations imposed by the authorities. Empirically, the probability that consumers opt for halal collagen is significantly determined by gender, age, religion, education, and income level. The likelihood of consumers opting for halal collagen is higher among the elderly, females, Muslims, highly educated consumers, and middle-income consumers. The empirical results also reveal that consumers' tendency to choose halal collagen is significantly influenced by the idea that the collagen should support Maqasid Shariah and be approved by JAKIM.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest threat to global health. It has a farreaching socio-economic impact on nearly all countries globally. The first case was reported in Malaysia on 25 January 2020. The number of issues kept increasing until the government announced the Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18 March 2020. As a result, the closures have had a major impact on businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This COVID19 pandemic greatly impacted worldwide compared to the H1N1 pandemic outbreak in 2009. This study aimed to examine the concept of preparedness actions of SMEs in the food industry to confront the COVID-19 pandemic. The study adopts a qualitative method of collecting data through documentation and library research to achieve this objective. The data consists of primary and secondary data gathered from books, articles, journals, reports, newspapers, and online databases. The findings of this study indicated that preparedness actions could be divided into survival and mitigation actions. Survival actions cover financial planning, business operations, and crisis preparation actions. Meanwhile, to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on business, the preparedness actions needed are assessing the impact of the pandemic on the organizations from operational and financial perspectives, evaluating the supply chain, and identifying potential points of failure. The outcome of this study is significant in terms of enhancing the knowledge of preparedness of SMEs in confronting the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

The safety of food products is an important factor in preserving consumers' lives. Preserving life is one of the main concepts in achieving the objectives of legal legislation, which is referred to as maqasid shariah. This study focuses on implementing the concept of maqasid shariah, preserving life through the safety of food products to maintain the body and ensure human health, starting from preparing raw materials until the product is ready to eat. This study aims to refine the safety elements of food products and their relationship with the concept of preserving life in the maqasid shariah. Several elements of food product safety were found to be related to the concept of preserving life in the maqasid shariah, namely: (a) material elements in production (buildings and premises, manufacturing and logistics workers, raw materials and ingredients, and equipment and fittings); and (b) elements of the production process (product manufacturing, product packaging, product storage, and product logistics). In conclusion, this study suggests that the concept of preserving life in the maqasid shariah can be applied to the food manufacturing chain process through the food product safety elements identified. A field study approach using primary data as the main data is recommended for future studies to obtain a realistic picture of the implementation of the maqasid shariah in food product safety.

Due to evolving travel trends, safety and security in tourism have become a huge challenge for Malaysians. A series of accidents can drag travellers down to suffer from financial loss; thus, this demands essential coverage for protection during the trip. Despite that, the percentage of Malaysian travellers that subscribe to the Travel Protection Plan (TPP) remains low due to uninsured behaviour caused by a lack of awareness and knowledge, especially among millennials. This paper examines the literature that determines the grounded theories to identify factors that will engage more subscribers towards TPP through content analysis of past consumer behaviour studies. The systematic literature review used in the study shows that past literature has tapped into marketing, performance, sales, product, medical and law implementation areas but scarcely on behaviour areas. The authors proposed that actual behaviour among Millennial travellers can be understood using Decomposed Theory of Behaviour (DTPB) and Risk Perception Theory (RPT), which comprise two factors that influence the subscription behaviour, namely implicit and explicit attitude in TPP subscription. Finally, the article outlined the framework that would construct key strategies from the insight of travellers’ and practitioners' interviews in line with the proposed theories to understand the actual behaviour of subscription among Millennial travellers. The paper will be useful to researchers, market players and travellers to understand the importance of a Travel Protection Plan subscription before embarking on their journey.

The implementation of the Quality Management System (QMS) around the world is still based on practices from the West that only emphasize external impact. Nowadays, the implementation of SPK no longer emphasizes the aspect of quality product or service output, but rather emphasizes its effect on the internal aspect or human element holistically. Accordingly, the implementation of Islamic SPK that complies with Shariah was first introduced in organizations in the country and the problem is that each organization tries to implement it with their own approach. Therefore, this paper aims to explore in depth the relationship between the implementation of virtuous values in cooperation with SPK Patuh Syariah (MS 1900:2014) by organizations that have successfully obtained its certification. This research method uses a quantitative research design through the distribution of questionnaires sent to respondents by simple random sampling. All data findings were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using IBM SPSS software. The results of the study show that the value of collaboration approach (r2 = .817 and p = .000) is influencing the implementation of a quality management system that complies with Shariah. Therefore, the managers should implement the value of cooperation in the MS 1900 initiative so that the implementation of the SPK can be implemented effectively. In principle, the results of this study can generate another empirical study for MS 1900 so that the noble values that comply with Shariah, which is the value of cooperation, can be practiced by every individual in the organization, especially in higher education institutions in the country, and further develop an organization that produces outstanding human capital in the world and ukhrawi.

Nowadays, the implementation of SPK no longer emphasizes the aspect of quality product or service output, but rather emphasizes its effect on the internal aspect or human element holistically. Accordingly, the implementation of Islamic SPK that complies with Shariah was first introduced in organizations in the country and the problem is that each organization tries to implement it with their own approach. Therefore, this paper aims to explore in depth the relationship between the implementation of virtuous values in cooperation with SPK Patuh Syariah (MS 1900:2014) by organizations that have successfully obtained its certification. This research method uses a quantitative research design through the distribution of questionnaires sent to respondents by simple random sampling. All data findings were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using IBM SPSS software. The results of the study show that the value of collaboration approach (r2 = .817 and p = .000) is influencing the implementation of a quality management system that complies with Shariah.
