However, the satisfaction from the user, feedbacks was not quite match the real situation. By referring to the several ministers, authorities and prime minister himself, we need to have our own taxi design here in Malaysia, the same thing that had been done by several countries in bringing their own image embedded into their taxis. At the same time, while building the image of the taxi, the other thing is to look into several enhancements towards the user experience. As been stated by the Malaysian previous prime minister and current prime minister themselves, the design taxi should look into the comfort or ergonomics of passengers, the safety issues, some technology appliances and accessibility issue for the disable person1. The main purpose of this study is to first finding an appropriate interior arrangement of the taxi in Malaysia as the sets of standards. The interior design should well answer the crite...

This practice is found not to be assimilated and contradicting with religion-oriented approach. It can also be considered incomplete because it only concentrates on duniawi. Unconsiously, the idea of fulfilling human wants and needs leave no option but to prioritise consumer over Allah. At the same time, they unintentionally encourage consumers to keep on seeking worldly paradise. This is contradicting with Islamic thoughts and practices. Therefore, there is a need to provide a guideline for designers by constructing a conceptual framework on integrating the Asma ul Husna values into the conventional desin process for the benefit of ummah. As an overview, this paper provides arguments about the significance to reorientate the conventional design process based on Islamic perspective of view. Infus...

Nowadays, the activities of playing traditional games are getting lesser and there are insufficient efforts in preserving or recreating the game. Furthermore, the preference of today's teenagers towards computer games and foreign recreational activities endangered the existence of traditional game. It also opens themselves to health problems due to lack of physical activities. This research provides an attempt to re-create a traditional game so that the value of the traditional game can be preserved and suit today's trend. Several methods such as observation, field experiment and reference were used in the study. Quantitative method was used to get the final concept of the product. Although the research is not very extensive, the findings suggest that the traditional games are possible to be re-created as the new sport. Throughout the research, the specified game ...

Most available research findings focus on the motifs and how it is applicable to the contemporary world. Songket packaging design has not evolved parallel to the rapid growth of Songket textile design. From the observation done, today, most of the Songket especially sampin packaging design relies on conventional packaging and other reliable for preserving its quality in long term storage. This research aim to test out the applicability design special for storing sampin.

However, humans do not realise the fact that the pursuit of perfection and sophistication in order to satisfy their needs and wants have gradually pulled them away from pursuing the ultimate objective in life: seeking Allah's pleasure. In this case, most individuals have their own perception and judgement of what is a good design. However, most of the outlined criteria are user-centred with quite a contrasting idea to that of the Islamic perspective that urges human being to become a caliph and at the same time, obtain the benefits of the hereafter as outlined in the Al-Quran. Hence, there is a need to improve the existing design criteria so that they can benefit mankind in accordance with Allah's will. This is a review of theories and definition of " good design " to explain the need to integrate integrating Asma ul Husna values into " design excellence principles " .
