Pandemik Covid-19 telah mengakibatkan masalah global yang lebih besar terutama dari segi jaminan bekalan makanan ketika perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) yang dijalankan di seluruh dunia. Malaysia tidak berkecuali terkesan dengan pandemik Covid-19 dan telah memperlahankan aktiviti sektor ekonomi termasuk sektor pertanian. Oleh itu, kertas kajian ini membincangkan secara mendalam mengenai kesan pandemik Covid-19 terhadap jaminan bekalan makanan di Malaysia terutama dari aspek penawaran dan permintaan bekalan makanan. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif yang melibatkan analisis dokumen rasmi dan tidak rasmi untuk mendapatkan maklumat mengenai jaminan bekalan makanan semasa pandemik Covid-19. Semasa PKP berlangsung, terdapat petani tempatan yang menghadapi masalah lambakan hasil pertanian akibat penutupan beberapa sektor sokongan seperti peruncitan, pengangkutan dan perkhidmatan makanan. Rantaian dalam sektor pertanian turut terjejas kerana kekurangan input pertanian dan tenaga buruh. Keadaan ini bertambah sukar apabila ketidakcukupan kemudahan penyimpanan bahan makanan mentah dan ia menyebabkan hasil pertanian menjadi rosak. Pada masa yang sama, permintaan bekalan makanan dalam kalangan masyarakat terus meningkat semasa pelaksanaan PKP kerana berlakunya pembelian panik terhadap barang keperluan asas. Kajian ini juga mengutarakan cadangan ke arah meningkatkan kestabilan jaminan bekalan makanan negara terutamanya dalam menghadapi sebarang krisis.
新冠肺炎大流行造成了更大的全球问题,尤其是在全球范围内执行行动控制(PKP)命令的情况下,粮食安全方面。马来西亚没有同样受到新冠肺炎疫情的影响,并减缓了包括农业部门在内的经济部门的活动。因此,本文深入讨论了新冠肺炎大流行对马来西亚粮食安全的影响,特别是在粮食供应和需求方面。这项研究采用了一种定性方法,包括分析官方和非官方文件,以获取新冠肺炎大流行期间粮食安全的信息。随着PKP的实施,由于退役、运输和食品服务等几个支持部门的关闭,当地农民面临着农业产出延迟的问题。农业部门的网络受到缺乏农业投入和劳动力的影响。当生食品缺乏易储存性并导致农业产出受损时,这种情况就会变得更加困难。与此同时,在KP实施期间,由于恐慌性购买基本商品,公众对食品的需求持续增加。这项研究还建议提高国家粮食供应的可持续性,尤其是在面临任何危机时。

This paper describes the lived experiences and coping responses towards mandatory quarantine among Malaysian healthcare workers who were exposed to the risk of COVID-19 infection during the first phase of movement control order. To capture the rich and thick description of these experiences, interpretative phenomenological approach using in-depth interview was employed. Due to the cordon sanitaire imposed, all interviews were conducted online either through a video conferencing application or through an online survey platform. A total of 11 participants responded. The interview contents were transcribed and iteratively coded by the authors independently. Four broad themes emerged. First, most participants accepted well on the need for mandatory quarantine. They understood the importance of quarantine in containing and breaking the chain of infection. Second, the most distressful moment was the waiting period for the result of their first nasopharygeal swab. Third, boredom was a major triggering factor resulting in the germination and rumination of negative thoughts. Fourth, although conspicuously absent in published literature from Western countries, religious faith appeared to be one of the most important coping mechanisms for our Muslim and Christian participants. To combat boredom and to refrain from dwelling on negative thoughts, they devoted their time to prayers and reading religious scriptures.
本文描述了在行动控制令第一阶段暴露于COVID-19感染风险的马来西亚医护人员对强制隔离的生活经历和应对措施。为了捕捉这些经验的丰富而厚重的描述,采用了深度访谈的解释现象学方法。由于实施了卫生警戒线,所有访谈都是通过视频会议应用程序或在线调查平台在线进行的。共有11位参与者做出了回应。访谈内容由作者独立进行转录和迭代编码。出现了四大主题。首先,大多数与会者都很好地接受了强制隔离的必要性。他们明白隔离在控制和切断感染链方面的重要性。其次,最痛苦的时刻是等待第一次鼻咽拭子检查结果的那段时间。第三,无聊是导致消极思想萌发和反刍的主要触发因素。第四,尽管在西方国家出版的文献中明显缺少宗教信仰,但宗教信仰似乎是我们的穆斯林和基督徒参与者最重要的应对机制之一。为了对抗无聊和避免消极的想法,他们把时间花在祈祷和阅读宗教经文上。

Resilience and sustainability strategies of Malaysian homestay program during COVID-19 pandemic 新冠肺炎大流行期间马来西亚寄宿家庭计划的复原力和可持续性策略

The COVID-19 outbreak in late 2019 has impacted all nations, societies, and industries globally due to the closure of international borders and strict travel restrictions. As one of the community-based tourism activities that have been viewed as a tool to stimulate rural community development, the Malaysian homestay program is no exception. This paper aims to explore the COVID-19 impacts, to examine how the homestay operators strived to be resilient and to understand the sustainability strategies adopted by them in reviving the industry post-COVID-19. By using a resilience-based framework, in-depth interviews with 10 homestay operators, one (1) state tourism official, and three (3) Homestay Chairman of the local homestay tourism association were conducted. Findings revealed that COVID-19 has affected the homestay operators' livelihoods, where they experienced a total loss of incomes due to booking cancellations and the complete halt of tourist arrivals. Operators began to re-visit their business models and mapped out the 'new norms of hospitality by leveraging technology and social media to promote their businesses online.' All these innovative strategies need to be undertaken collectively and therefore leadership and the formation of strong human resources proved to be the best solutions. Diversifying and venturing into other businesses as second income generation provides a safety net in sustaining their livelihoods. It is suggested that the creation of new business models and pragmatic community tourism policies will essentially determine the homestay program's chances of survival, particularly during crisis or disaster, by transforming it into a much more sustainable form.
由于国际边境关闭和严格的旅行限制,2019年末爆发的新冠肺炎疫情影响了全球所有国家、社会和行业。作为一种以社区为基础的旅游活动,被视为刺激农村社区发展的工具,马来西亚民宿项目也不例外。本文旨在探讨新冠肺炎的影响,研究民宿运营商如何努力保持韧性,并了解他们在新冠肺炎后重振行业时采取的可持续发展战略。通过使用基于弹性的框架,对10家民宿经营者、一(1)名州旅游官员和三(3)名当地民宿旅游协会民宿主席进行了深入采访。调查结果显示,新冠肺炎影响了民宿经营者的生计,由于预订取消和游客完全停止,他们的收入完全损失。运营商开始重新审视他们的商业模式,并通过利用技术和社交媒体在网上推广他们的业务,制定了“新的酒店规范”所有这些创新战略都需要集体实施,因此,领导力和形成强大的人力资源被证明是最好的解决方案。作为第二代收入来源,多样化和冒险进入其他企业为维持生计提供了安全网。有人建议,新商业模式的创建和务实的社区旅游政策将从根本上决定民宿项目的生存机会,特别是在危机或灾难期间,将其转变为一种更可持续的形式。

Nostalgia of Thaipusam celebration during the Covid-19 pandemic 怀念2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的泰国庆祝活动
IF 0.5 Q3 SOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2022-05-31 DOI: 10.17576/geo-2022-1802-21

Nostalgia is an emotion that has meaning associated to a group or community of people. Similar to other type of emotions, nostalgia is learnt and interpreted through social relationships. Nostalgia is associated with the recollection of the past;often something with special meaning to a person or a group of people. Nostalgia is often associated with past positive experiences that brought joy, pleasure, or happiness. It may bring happiness or sadness, but studies have shown that it brings more positive emotions compared to negative emotions. This article focuses on the nostalgia of participating in Thaipusam prior to the pandemic. Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly in places where there is a large group of Tamil Hindus. In Malaysia, Thaipusam is not merely a Hindu festival, it is attended by people of various religious background and culture. This is a qualitative study with data collected by interviewing five women living in Kedah who have attended Thaipusam in Penang for more than four decades. There was no celebration of Thaipusam in 2021 due to the pandemic. For the first time in their lives they were not part of this important festival. Their experiences shows both collective and individual nostalgia. Sharing nostalgia is seen as a way of going through a lonely period in their lives. They also shared how they used online darshan to go through this difficult period. Their experiences may be expressed as personal, but it is often related to their collective identity as a Malaysian Indian and as a member of a minority community.
怀旧是一种与一群人或社区有关的情感。与其他类型的情绪类似,怀旧是通过社会关系习得和解释的。怀旧与对过去的回忆有关,通常是对一个人或一群人有特殊意义的东西。怀旧通常与过去带来快乐、愉悦或幸福的积极经历联系在一起。它可能带来快乐或悲伤,但研究表明,与消极情绪相比,它带来的积极情绪更多。这篇文章的重点是在大流行之前参加Thaipusam的怀旧。泰普萨姆是一个印度教节日,主要在有大量泰米尔印度教徒的地方庆祝。在马来西亚,泰国节不仅仅是印度教的节日,它是由各种宗教背景和文化的人参加。这是一项定性研究,其数据是通过采访五名居住在吉打州的妇女收集的,她们在槟城参加泰普萨姆已经超过40年了。由于新冠肺炎疫情,2021年没有庆祝泰普萨姆节。这是他们有生以来第一次没有参加这个重要的节日。他们的经历显示了集体和个人的怀旧。分享怀旧之情被视为他们度过生命中孤独时期的一种方式。他们还分享了他们是如何利用网络达善来度过这段艰难时期的。他们的经历可能是个人的,但这往往与他们作为马来西亚印度人和少数民族社区成员的集体身份有关。

COVID-19 and its effects on social connectedness among Malaysian Malay living abroad 2019冠状病毒病及其对居住在国外的马来西亚马来人社会联系的影响

Ever since the global pandemic COVID-19 emerged, governments all around the world have attempted to slow the spread of this disease by promoting social isolation and social distancing. Although physical separation does curtail the spread of the virus, the practice of social distancing has limited people's in-person social interactions and has narrowed their sense of social connectedness. To Malaysian Malay expatriates, social connectedness is more than just a means of social relationship or social networking. Social connectedness is a motivating factor for survival and a way to reduce feelings of social anxiety and frustrations when living in a foreign host country. To highlight the significance of social connectedness while working abroad, this study was conducted with 11 single Malaysian Malays residing in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. A qualitative approach was employed in this study by using indepth interviews to examine the socio-cultural challenges they experienced while working and living in a country different from their own. This paper discusses how COVID-19 affects Malaysian Malay expatriates' social connectedness while living abroad in host countries and the need for more research exploration in the subject area. As a result, although social media can be a platform for everyone to be connected, face-to-face interactions are more desirable. Furthermore, the researchers also found that practising a level of intimacy with close friends can help Malaysian Malay expatriates to gain social connectedness with others which also leads to the feeling of belongingness in their community.
自全球大流行COVID-19出现以来,世界各国政府都试图通过促进社会隔离和社会距离来减缓这种疾病的传播。虽然身体隔离确实能遏制病毒的传播,但保持社交距离的做法限制了人们的面对面社交互动,缩小了他们的社会联系感。对于马来西亚马来人来说,社会联系不仅仅是社会关系或社交网络的一种手段。社会联系是生存的一个激励因素,也是减少生活在外国东道国的社交焦虑和挫折感的一种方式。为了强调在国外工作时社会联系的重要性,本研究对居住在美国、英国、澳大利亚和加拿大的11名单身马来西亚马来人进行了研究。本研究采用定性方法,通过深度访谈来研究他们在不同国家工作和生活时所经历的社会文化挑战。本文讨论了COVID-19如何影响马来西亚马来侨民在东道国生活时的社会联系,以及在该主题领域进行更多研究探索的必要性。因此,尽管社交媒体可以成为每个人联系的平台,但面对面的互动更可取。此外,研究人员还发现,与亲密朋友保持一定程度的亲密关系,可以帮助马来西亚马来侨民与他人建立社会联系,从而在社区中产生归属感。
