The rapid development of new social media platforms has altered the way political institutions like politicians, political parties, foundations, institutions, and political think tanks handle their election campaigns. Hence, this study seeks to identify the most discussed issues on social media during the election campaign using a systematic review method, taking into account potential articles published from January 2021 to December 2022 on Google Scholar. Variations in the terms used in this research include campaign, election, political institutions, social media, and systematic review. The author's keyword is to reflect the content of a journal that conforms to the desired essence. After the screening process and based on the title and abstract, nine studies met the criteria as per the objective of this research. Results indicate that the most discussed issues are the biographies of the candidates, followed by party ideologies and manifestos. The topics covered in this research aid in the understanding of existing issues in political campaigns. Future research should improve studies on the benefits of social media during election campaigns for both parties, candidates, and voters.

It is transmitted from severely infected individuals to their direct or close contact through breathing droplets and contaminated surfaces. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended some preventive measures to curb the virus. Among others are washing hands with soap and water, using hand sanitisers, wearing face masks, and practising social distancing. This study aims to identify the level of COVID-19 prevention in Malaysia and determine the most commonly practised preventive measures among Malaysians. The study involved 1,230 participants who were recruited through convenience sampling techniques. Data were collected through a set of questionnaires, which were analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences version 26. The results indicated that the level of preventive measures among Malaysians was high (M=3.3). Social distancing (M= 3.75) was the most commonly practised preventive action, followed by staying at home (M=3.72).

In March 2020, the government had announced the Movement Control Order (MCO) due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Malaysia. As a result of globalization, COVID-19 shows that pandemic breakouts pose a significant threat to the world. However, using social media to promote campaigns during COVID-19 has its own drawbacks, such as the difficulty of recognizing promoted content. Social media sites have evolved into one of the most important sources of information as well as a platform for spreading dangerous rumors. Thus, it is also under severe pressure to regulate disease misinformation that is pushing people in the wrong direction. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify which social media platforms are more effective towards effectiveness campaigns during COVID-19. Researchers employed quantitative surveys, which were distributed across all social media platforms from various people. In sampling, researchers have referred to Roasoft Sample Size Calculator [11]. A total of 162 respondents responded to the survey. The findings of this research prove that Malaysians are using social media for promoting the effectiveness campaign during COVID-19, with M=3.44 being the highest. Furthermore, males are the most effective in promoting the COVID-19 campaigns, with a score of 0.262.

Of course, this is also applicable to people who are working. It affects many working people as they now have to face the Movement Control Order (MCO). The MCO restricts people from moving to places as it is trying to avoid gathering people that could potentially spread the virus even faster. Since we are researching Public Relations Practitioners, we are trying to see how this pandemic will affect how they work during the pandemic. We theorize that there was a significant change in the way Public Practitioners work before and during Covid-19. Therefore, we have interviewed many Public Relations practitioners to see if what we theorize was true. We pose multiple questions about how this pandemic has affected their work as public relations practitioners. We theorize that the MCO especially has left a significant impact in their ...

The new and aggressive strategy of displaying chronic diseases images on cigarettes packaging is chosen as the fundamental of this study as the researcher's intent to discover the effectiveness of the messages through visual communication in the form of health message. A qualitative approach with focused group interviews consisted of 10 informants from different demographic factors were done. Finding analysis is matched with the paradigm framework of active message processing written by Pfau and Parrot (1993) in the book entitled Persuasive Communication Campaigns which stated the stages of message processing by public and it is a useful model in research on the effectiveness of health messages. This study found that the messages have affected the informants' emotions in terms of creating fear but it does not work on giving permanent awareness thus they choose to reject the messages delivered on cigarettes packaging. As a conclusion, the displaying of visual messages has given a shortterm effect but eventually it becomes a norm and not getting bothered by the message receivers. However, there are also consequences of directly displaying the visual messages to the receivers since it is an act of informing that affects emotions.

This study aims to determine the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and the main indicator of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among citizens of Melaka Tengah, a highly dense and most developed area in Melaka, Malaysia. A quantitative crosssectional survey is employed using purposive non-probability sampling techniques. A fourpoint scale questionnaire was administered online. A total of 411 vaccinated adults aged 18 or older responded to the survey, with 68.4% being government servants and 60.1% having a household income of less than RM5,110. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The findings showed that the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among citizens of Melaka Tengah was moderate (M=2.92). The main indicator (M = 3.01) and part of the population's behaviour was self-efficacy. Hence, more efforts are needed to increase self-efficacy to enhance the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination as compared to perceived benefits and cues to action that have low predictive power.

This method is widely used globally and has become the latest trend among people regardless of age. It was brought to the forefront so that people would no longer need to go to a physical store to make purchases or sales as the world is moving fast and forward nowadays. Even though the world is still recuperating from the COVID-19 pandemic where the number of cases rise every day, online shopping remains the public choice method of monthly shopping. Regardless of how great a revolution it is, online shopping is not all roses. There have been concerns with security and guarantees, quality, and logistics. The aim of this study is to identify the level of online shopping acceptance between male and female during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 335 respondents from various demographic backgrounds. The quantitative research method was used in this research where questionnaires were distributed via a purposive sample technique. The data were analysed through the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 23. In general, this research proved that Malaysians' acceptance towards online shopping during COVID-19 pandemic is high (M=3.14). Female respondents are more likely to accept online shopping. However, there is no significant difference between males and females.

This is to ensure that a hadith is protected from distortion and falsification. Knowledge such as this requirement is designed to justify the authenticity of the process of transferring hadith matan (text of hadith) through the correct sanad (chain of narration). This study found that these conditions can be adapted as determinants of the authenticity of Islamic information. Therefore, this paper has two main objectives. The first objective is to identify the requirements of authentic hadith. Meanwhile, the second objective is to analyse the requirements to be adopted in the method to determine the authenticity of Islamic information communication. Content analysis and library methods were used to address both issues. In conclusion, it is found that the elements of requirements of authentic hadith, namely continuous chain of narration, impartiality of the narrator, excellence of the narrator’s memory, and there is no doubt on the sanad and matan can be used as a method to determine the authenticity of Islamic information communication

This study aims to identify the determinants of vaccine and vaccination-specific problems that influence the rejection of vaccines among Malaysian parents. The quantitative survey research, selected using purposive non-probability sampling techniques, was conducted on 392 parents or guardians. Distribution of questions to respondents is via email and social media. This research used descriptive statistics and the data was analyzed u sing SPSS. The findings indicate, a total of 98.2% of respondents sent their kids to be immunized. Researchers also found the majority of respondents agree that lack of knowledge (M = 3.38) is the key determinant of the rejection of vaccines, followed by the level of education (M = 3.11) and the halal issue (M = 2.97). The government needs to look at this issue more seriously and needs to pay attention to those who are antivaccine.

The majority of patients infected with the COVID-19 virus will usually experience light to medium respiratory illness and will recover without getting any special treatment. Since the case became more serious, the Malaysian government has issued a Movement Control Order to beat the coronavirus and protect the country's health systems. However, there are unintended consequences caused by the coronavirus. Besides, it brings different kinds of stress, including physical and mental health risks. The main objective of this study is to examine the level of stress experienced by people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds during COVID-19. Researchers used a quantitative method and distributed a Google Form survey to all social media platforms. A total of 191 people responded to the survey. From the findings, Malaysians are extremely stressed during this pandemic (M = 3.58). Furthermore, the results show that people in the B40 income category are more stressed than those in the M40 and T20 household income categories. The government should take this issue more seriously and assist individuals who are affected by the pandemic of COVID-19.

In March 2020, the government had announced the Movement Control Order (MCO) due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Malaysia. As a result of globalization, COVID-19 shows that pandemic breakouts pose a significant threat to the world. However, using social media to promote campaigns during COVID-19 has its own drawbacks, such as the difficulty of recognizing promoted content. Social media sites have evolved into one of the most important sources of information as well as a platform for spreading dangerous rumors. Thus, it is also under severe pressure to regulate disease misinformation that is pushing people in the wrong direction. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify which social media platforms are more effective towards effectiveness campaigns during COVID-19. Researchers employed quantitative surveys, which were distributed across all social media platforms from various people. In sampling, researchers have referred to Roasoft Sample Size Calculator [11]. A total of 162 respondents responded to the survey. The findings of this research prove that Malaysians are using social media for promoting the effectiveness campaign during COVID-19, with M=3.44 being the highest. Furthermore, males are the most effective in promoting the COVID-19 campaigns, with a score of 0.262.

The majority of patients infected with the COVID-19 virus will usually experience light to medium respiratory illness and will recover without getting any special treatment. Since the case became more serious, the Malaysian government has issued a Movement Control Order to beat the coronavirus and protect the country's health systems. However, there are unintended consequences caused by the coronavirus. Besides, it brings different kinds of stress, including physical and mental health risks. The main objective of this study is to examine the level of stress experienced by people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds during COVID-19. Researchers used a quantitative method and distributed a Google Form survey to all social media platforms. A total of 191 people responded to the survey. From the findings, Malaysians are extremely stressed during this pandemic (M = 3.58). Furthermore, the results show that people in the B40 income category are more stressed than those in the M40 and T20 household income categories. The government should take this issue more seriously and assist individuals who are affected by the pandemic of COVID-19.
