Namun, kini masih timbul isu pertikaian, penghinaan dan provokasi ke atas unsur-unsur tradisi ini oleh sebilangan rakyat Malaysia. Maka kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tahap pengetahuan, sikap dan amalan belia terhadap unsur-unsur tradisi dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Kajian ini dijalankan secara keratan rentas dengan pengedaran borang soal selidik ke atas 416 respoden dalam kalangan belia pelbagai etnik secara pensampelan mudah (convenience).

Tafsiran umum para pengkaji merumuskan gastronomi sebagai “food Knowledge”. Oleh kerana tanggapan umumnya adalah pengetahuan tentang makanan, maka gastronomi sering dikaitkan dengan bidang kulinari atau masakan. Perspektif sejarah merumuskan gastronomi sebagai suatu fenomena sosial yang mendapat perhatian para pemikir, pengamal kulinari dan juga masyarakat umum bermula pada awal abad ke 19. Perspektif akademik mengembangkan pemahaman gastronomi sebagai cabang ilmu yang boleh diteroka melalui penyiasatan secara saintifik. Banyak lagi pandangan dan justifikasi yang berbeza tentang bidang ini. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) memulakan usaha formal terhadap bidang gastronomi yang kemudian telah membuka jalan untuk kajian seterusnya.

Seni bina masjid tradisional Melaka mempunyai identiti tersendiri daripada segi rekaan bentuk bumbungnya. Asas bentuk bumbung som pecah empat yang dihiasi dengan sebuah mahkota dipuncaknya. Kehadiran mahkota atap di atas bumbung masjid tradisional Melaka menjadikan rekaan seni bina masjid itu sendiri unik dan sangat elegan. Namun begitu, mahkota atap ini telah diancam kepupusan kerana ada yang berpendapat bahawa ia bukan seni Islam dan tidak sesuai berada di bangunan masjid. Kenyataan ini sedikit sebanyak telah menjadi ancaman kepada kewujudan mahkota atap masjid tradisional Melaka. Beberapa buah masjid tradisional di daerah Alor Gajah dilihat telah kehilangan mahkota atapnya dan diganti dengan kubah kecil yang mempunyai bentuk bulan dan bintang di bahagian atas. Kefahaman tentang seni Islam dalam kalangan masyarakat Islam adalah sangat penting supaya warisan rekaan dan seni Islam t...

Kemajuan sesebuah negara turut dikaitkan dengan tahap pendidikan atau literasi bangsanya. Pendidikan berteraskan agama sangat penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat Melayu di Malaysia. Pendidikan agama madrasah atau sekolah Arab di Malaysia mempunyai sejarahnya yang tersendiri dan ia turut mempengaruhi kehidupan beragama masyarakat Melayu pada hari ini. Pendidikan agama di Malaysia merupakan inisiatif dan usaha gigih orang Arab yang prihatin terhadap pegangan agama orang Melayu beragama Islam di negara ini. Namun, sumbangan mereka dalam perkembangan sekolah agama di Malaysia telah dipinggirkan.

Kes-kes jenayah yang melibatkan wanita menjadi mangsa utama termasuklah kes cabul, rogol, ragut, keganasan rumah tangga, pembunuhan, penderaan dan masalah pemerdagangan manusia contohnya wanita dijadikan sebagai keldai dadah dan terlibat dalam aktiviti pelacuran. Hal ini amat membimbangkan kerana kelemahan wanita telah menjadikan mereka sebagai sasaran sama ada dalam bentuk keganasan ataupun mangsa eksploitasi semata-mata untuk mengaut keuntungan daripada pihak tertentu. Terdapat kes jenayah terhadap wanita yang dilaporkan menunjukkan adanya mangsa yang meninggal dunia akibat daripada jenayah yang semakin berleluasa. Hal ini bermakna kes jenayah terhadap wanita pada masa ini bukan hanya mengakibatkan kecederaan fizikal dan mental kepada mangsa tetapi juga boleh mengakibatkan kematian. Lebih dikesali, kebanyakan kes jenayah tersebut dilakukan oleh individu yang dikenali dan merupakan orang yang dipercayai dalam kehidupan wanita. Kuran...

The many aspects of social justice often discussed include equity, fairness, injustice, rationality, altruism, et cetera. However, the social justice framework, especially within a multi-ethnic context, requires further elaboration and explanation via the Maqasid Syariah perspective, in order to build a solid foundation of racial unity in line with the principles of the Malaysian Constitution. Therefore, this paper, using content analysis technique of existing literature, forges a direction for social justice within the multi-ethnic context in Malaysia, examined through the lens of Maqasid Syariah. In addition, this paper also looks into the role of the media in promoting Malaysian social justice. As the media is strongly influential in educating and disseminating messages to the mass public, it is important to enhance the role of the media in promoting a more accurate depiction of social justice to the society. Thus, this is an important discussion worth having, not least to ensure social justice in Malaysia is developed within the context of Malaysian society, especially with Islam as the religion of the Federation of Malaysia.

Pendidikan agama di Malaysia merupakan inisiatif dan usaha gigih orang Arab yang prihatin terhadap pegangan agama orang Melayu beragama Islam di negara ini.

Kes-kes jenayah yang melibatkan wanita menjadi mangsa utama termasuklah kes cabul, rogol, ragut, keganasan rumah tangga, pembunuhan, penderaan dan masalah pemerdagangan manusia contohnya wanita dijadikan sebagai keldai dadah dan terlibat dalam aktiviti pelacuran. Hal ini amat membimbangkan kerana kelemahan wanita telah menjadikan mereka sebagai sasaran sama ada dalam bentuk keganasan ataupun mangsa eksploitasi semata-mata untuk mengaut keuntungan daripada pihak tertentu. Terdapat kes jenayah terhadap wanita yang dilaporkan menunjukkan adanya mangsa yang meninggal dunia akibat daripada jenayah yang semakin berleluasa.

The many aspects of social justice often discussed include equity, fairness, injustice, rationality, altruism, et cetera. However, the social justice framework, especially within a multi-ethnic context, requires further elaboration and explanation via the Maqasid Syariah perspective, in order to build a solid foundation of racial unity in line with the principles of the Malaysian Constitution. Therefore, this paper, using content analysis technique of existing literature, forges a direction for social justice within the multi-ethnic context in Malaysia, examined through the lens of Maqasid Syariah. In addition, this paper also looks into the role of the media in promoting Malaysian social justice. As the media is strongly influential in educating and disseminating messages to the mass public, it is important to enhance the role of the media in promoting a more accurate depiction of social justice to the society. Thus, this is an important discussion worth having, not least to ensure social justice in Malaysia is developed within the context of Malaysian society, especially with Islam as the religion of the Federation of Malaysia.

This study involves 242 former addicts that completed their treatment and rehabilitation period and utilises two instruments, the Inventory of Drug-Taking Situations, (IDTS) by Annis and Martin (1985) and the Social Provisions Scale (SPS) by Russell and Cutrona (1984). This study uses descriptive statistical method or frequency to see the percentage for the demographic factor, while the inferential statistical method such as the Pearson correlation were used to test the research question. The Pearson correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between social support and to relapse.
