In doing so, mutual agreement on certain things and levels is a must for that project to be run smoothly. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to identify the essential requirement for school-university collaboration specifically for 'Creating Awareness on Light Pollution' (CALP) Project. With the aim of educating the society about light pollution, the University has taken an advance step together with selected schools to monitor light pollution by utilizing Sky Quality Meter. In total, this project has nine stations in peninsular Malaysia. It is hope that by outlining the essential requirement, this project can be replicated to others countries.

Since the Sharl ah compliance is an integral feature of Islamic banking, Islamic banks must firstly conform to the Sharl ah principles and at the same time they should comply with the various laws governing contract and commerce as well as regulations and guidelines issued by the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). Islamic Banking Act 1983 (IBA) is above all a regulatory piece of regulation and does not intend to provide detailed substantive provisions on the subject. Furthermore, current rapid developments of the Islamic banking system have led to the invention of various new products. The over enthusiasm in creating these new products might has trapped the Islamic banks into duplicating and modification the products offered under the conventional banks with 'Sharl ahsounding' names. In light of the above, this thesis attempts to investigate the legal and Sharl ah frameworks that govern the Islamic banking system in Malaysia with regard to the application of the debt financing products. The thesis suggests that there are some potential conflicts between Islamic law and civil law which give the impression that some of the practices of Islamic banking system are not fully compliant to its intended philosophy. The legal framework of Islamic banking is not in line with the rapid development of the Islamic banking industry, and therefore, it needs to be revised and modified to suit the Islamic banking practice. Similarly, an effective and conducive Shan-c: ah framework is needed to ensure such compliance and strengthen the regulatory and supervisory process as well as harmonising the Sharl ah interpretations.

Since then, many of the jinancial institutions have laun ched microjinance products. The Islamic finance as such can flourish in the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the microfinance sector since financing in Islam involves the real economy. The Islamic financing which is based on Shari'ah differs in its spirit and motivation as compared to the conventional one. This paper, attempts to explore the Islamic Guarantee Schemes services as provided by the Credit Guarant ee Corporation (CGC). What are the factors that could lead the SMEs to go for Islamic Guarantee Schemes and what are their perceptions and knowledge of Islamic financing? The data set utilized in this study has been obtained via a selfadministered questionnaire, based on samples of 125 CGC's clients. Results of the survey postulated that many of the entrepreneurs were not aware of the existence of Islamic Guarantee Schemes, and their knowledge pertaining to the Shari 'ah principles of Islamic microfinancing is rather shallow. The results have important implications to the policy makers in strengthening the use of Islamic microfinancing among SMEs. The CGC also must work with a concerted effort with participating financial institutions to market these schemes to other entrepreneurs, who may be looking f or alternative modes of financing, which are Shari'ah compliant.</jats:p>
