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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Malaysia is a rich country with significant tangible and diverse intangible cultural heritage assets. The cultural heritage information must be collected in order to transmit the information to future generations. In this digital era, knowledge transmission can be easily spread using digital platforms. Furthermore, the post-Covid-19 pandemic driven necessity of digital sharing platforms. However, the status of digital cultural heritage in Malaysia is unknown. Hence, this paper will be addressed the digitization of cultural heritage implementation in Malaysia based on the published research articles. The data extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus database has been analysed using bibliometric analysis. The search keywords related to the digitization of cultural heritage has extracted about 171 documents over 15 years of publication. This finding is significant to provide local researchers and related institutions with the potential of digital cultural heritage in a post-Covid-19 pandemic. The large potential of digital cultural heritage should motivate local researchers to increase the attention on digitization cultural heritage research area. Many potential applications which are benefited cultural heritage tourism, sustainability as well as contribution to the economy. The findings from this research indicate that the trend of digitization in the cultural heritage field needs to be strengthened.
