A Corpus-Based Study Of Give, Take, And Make Light Verb Constructions In Mesolectal Malaysian English
(2023-03)
Christina Sook Beng, Ong
This study investigated the structural and aspectual functional patterns of light verb constructions (LVCs) in mesolectal Malaysian English and identified nativised LVCs. LVCs refer to combinations of a semantically “empty” or light verb with a deverbal noun. The three selected light verbs are give, take, and make. A standard or prototypical LVC is made up of a light verb and a deverbal noun preceded by the indefinite article as shown in this sentence, I’ll take a look at her feet myself. Studies examining the use of LVCs in postcolonial Englishes suggest emerging variants such as make good decision may not be idiomatic and may not be acceptable by native speakers. To facilitate this research, a 100-million words general corpus of mesolectal Malaysian English was created. This corpus is known as the Corpus of Malaysian English Forum (CMEF). It consists of threads from Lowyat.NET, a popular Internet forum in Malaysia, representing the mesolectal variety of Malaysian English which is commonly used and nationally intelligible. The British National Corpus (BNC) was used as the reference corpus. The structural analysis reveals that Malaysian English LVCs do not deviate much from the standard structure of LVCs except the overuse of zero-article LVCs.

A New Historicist Reading Of Islamization And Islamophobia In Selected Contemporary Pakistani Diasporic Fiction Malik
(2022-06)
Afzal, Malik Haroon
Literature and power-politics have a strong connection when it comes to literature’s role in promulgating and propagating a certain narrative which serves the interest of power. Past studies on contemporary Pakistani diasporic fictions tend to explore the themes of Islamization and Islamophobia in terms of their relation with power. There is a dearth of research that have investigated intensively the way the narratives of Islamization and Islamophobia were promulgated and propagated on the pretext of discursive formations, i.e., literary and non-literary. The present study unveils this role of discursive formations with reference to the selected contemporary Pakistani diasporic fiction: Muhammad Hanif’s A Case of Exploding Mangoes and Our Lady of Alice Bhatti, Hanif Kureishi’s The Black Album and My Son the Fanatic, Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire. Since the Cold War, the narratives of Islamization and Islamophobia have been influencing the Muslims globally, especially in Pakistan due to its Islamization program during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The treatment of Muslim identity by the West in both pre and the post-Cold War eras reveals an interesting shift in the Western approach towards Muslims.
A Postcolonial Analysis Of Advertisements In The British North Borneo Herald
(2022-07)
Abdul Rahim, Anis
Now known as Sabah, North Borneo was under the British administration from 1881 until 1963. The British North Borneo Herald was published by The British North Borneo (Chartered) Company and circulated from 1883 until 1941. This study discussed the relationship between advertising, consumerism, and text production by utilising The British North Borneo Herald advertisements. The objectives of this research are to examine the meanings of the text in the selected colonial advertisements found in The British North Borneo Herald; to ascertain the ideology of consumerism in the selected colonial advertisements found in The British North Borneo Herald in a colonial environment, and to study the relationship between the ideology of consumerism and the production of text through Eagleton’s Materialist Criticism. Thirty-four advertisements, published between 1937-1941, were selected based on four criteria: the advertisements must have both visual and body copy; the advertisements were selected from the last five years of The British North Borneo Herald publication; the products advertised were originated from Britain and its allies, and the advertisements chosen promote essential and luxury products. Two types of analysis were utilised for this study: social semiotic analysis (Halliday’s Transitivity Model (2004) and Kress and van Leeuwen’s Grammar of Visual Design (1996/2006)) and Marxist analysis (Eagleton’s Materialist Criticism (1978)). Based on the semiotic analysis on 34 advertisements, there are three categories of needs and desires: health, lifestyle, and relationship.

(2022-05)
Tumiran, Siti Noorasikin
Amir Ziyadat Allah I bin Amir Ibrahim I is a Muslim leadership figure who has great potential and caliber in administering of Aghlabid Dynasty. His authority was evident due to the success of continuing the legacy of Amir Ibrahim I by expanding and advancing the dynasty to be in line with the progress of other Islamic dynasties at that time. The composition towards complex society of Aghlabid Dynasty was successfully ruled by Amir Ziyadat Allah I who came from a minority group of Arabs. Unfortunately, studies of his prominence and contributions are not highlighted in depth. The prejudicial attitude of some Western writers has given rise to a negative perception of leadership by the amir. This study is to investigate the developments of Aghlabid Dynasty, the background of Amir Ziyadat Allah I and also his contributions towards the dynasty. This study uses a qualitative method approach, through the instrument of literature review and document analysis. The findings of this study revealed Amir Ziyadat Allah I amongst the most important and famous amirs of Aghlabid Dynasty. His greatness as a ruler highlights the authority of the amir so that he can be appointed as a reformist or “mujahid” in his time. Under the administration of Amir Ziyadat Allah I, the dynasty had grown rapidly in political, economic and educational aspects. The establishment of Islam in continental Europe for the second time through the conquest of Sicily was his greatest contribution in the political aspect.

Ahmad, Afnan Faiz Ridzuan
The national curriculum consists of learning and teaching sessions in classrooms as well as co-curricular activities. The implementation of co-curricular activities aims to strengthen learning in the classroom and provide a variety of interesting experiences to students. However, there are several issues in the implementation of co-curricular activities in schools, in which the implementation of the activities is not in line with sharia and contradicts with maqasid al-shari'ah that causes accidents to occur and endanger the lives of students. Therefore, this study has been conducted to investigate the concept of maslahah and mafsadah on the side of syarak, review the drafting development and implementation of co-curricular activities in schools as well as identify the elements of maslahah and mafsadah in the implementation of selected co-curricular activities in schools. The researcher has used both library and field studies in collecting data. This field study involved 8 secondary schools owned by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) located in the state of Kedah. The data collection which uses a semi-structured interview method has involved 17 respondents. The findings showed there has been an element of realising maslahah and avoiding mafsadah in the implementation of all co-curricular activities either under the uniformed bodies, sports games or club associations. The study also found that boarding schools have a longer time where co-curricular activities can be carried out in the evening. In addition, schools in the urban areas have better infrastructure facilities than schools located in rural areas.

Muhammad Irahim, Nur Hamimah
This study aims to analyze the behavior of congratulatory speech acts in the comment section in Malay by Malay Facebook users. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the expressions that expressed as congratulatory speech acts in the comment section in Malay on Facebook. This study has used Searle's (1976) speech acts theory theoretically to discuss congratulatory speech acts by Malay Facebook users.The main selection of this study focused on Facebook communication medium because Facebook is a social media that used by account owners to share joy and information in general. From a methodological aspect, this study uses an online ethnographic approach that uses observation and interview methods. The results showed a generalization of the tendency of Malay Facebook users who use the word congratulations as a natural action of each speaker towards a news or happy event. The words of congratulations present in each response expression indicate that every sharing of congratulations or happy events must be preceded by saying congratulations among Malays including Facebook users. Malay Facebook users used the collocation of congratulatory words with other greetings, such as prayers, advice, jokes and so on. Congratulations collocations are categorized into forms of combined speech acts, such as combinations of expressive speech acts with other expressive speech acts, combinations of expressive speech acts with representative speech acts and combinations of expressive speech acts with directive speech acts.

Objektif utama kajian adalah mengkaji variasi penumpuan ruangan taburan kumpulan umur penduduk dan tahap penumpuan ruangan perubahan pertumbuhan penduduk. Selain itu, kajian ini melibatkan daerah Semenanjung Malaysia. Tambahan lagi, kaedah kajian digunakan adalah analisis tahap penumpuan ruangan dengan menggunakan kaedah LQ (Location Quotient) yang mengukur penumpuan ruangan kumpulan umur penduduk daerah.

Exploring The Postmodern Multiple Subjectivity In Selected Works Of Malaysian Prose Fiction In English
(2023-02)
Yakin, Haryasindra Mohd.
The focus of this study is to examine the representation of the postmodern multiple subjectivity in the works of a few contemporary Malaysian writers. The concept of the postmodern multiple subjectivity comprises of two other concepts which are the concept of the double (Freud, 1919) and the concept of the protean self by Lifton (1993). The writers that comprise the corpus of this study include Karim Raslan, Dina Zaman, Tash Aw, Zen Cho, Sharmilla Ganesan and Angeline Woon to explore the dynamism of the postmodern self in responding to the challenges brought about by the social and cultural changes that have taken place due to globalisation, transnationalism and diaspora. This research also endeavours to study a group of vibrant and contemporary Malaysian writers whose mode of writing reflects a break away from the nationalistic fervour, local and communal sentiments shown by Malaysian writers in the years preceding the 21st century. These new writers approach issues of the self and identities in a much broader sense, mirroring a postmodern outlook in their works as a result of the influences of technological developments, sophisticated interconnectivity of communications and free movements of people across the globe.
Factors Affecting Farmers’ Participation In Participatory Irrigation Management In Tail-End Of The Uda Walawe Irrigation Scheme, Southern Sri Lanka
(2022-12)
Darshanie Sewwandika Yapa, Loku Gamage
Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) was introduced in the late 19th century as a type of irrigation reform for dealing with poor irrigation system performance in many agricultural areas of the world, including Sri Lanka. However, the emergence of head-tail disparity along the canal network has frequently resulted in inefficiency in irrigation management, causing this issue to become a subject of heated debate among scholars. Although some scholars have pointed out that an appropriate level of farmers’ participation is difficult to bring about at the tail-end of many irrigation schemes in Sri Lanka, no one has pinpointed the factors influencing the tailend farmers’ participation in PIM. Therefore, the objectives of the study are to assess the non-spatial, spatial, and overall factors that significantly affect tail-end farmers’ participation in PIM. The study was conducted at the tail-end of the Uda Walawe irrigation scheme, which remains as one of the perpetually water deficit schemes in Sri Lanka. Data were collected from 482 irrigated plots of cultivators by conducting a questionnaire survey, field observations and informal discussion. Apart from that, key informant interviews and focus group discussion were held with Irrigation Agency officers and farmer organization leaders to collect supplementary data and information related to the study. QGIS 3.16.6 and SPSS ver. 20.0 were used for digitizing, calculating, and analysing the collected data. The study revealed that 59% of the total number of farmers at the tail-end of the scheme actively engaged in collective action while 41% were inactive in PIM.
Factors Influencing The Roles Of Environmental Ngos In The Bargaining Of P-xylene And Water Issues In Yunnan, China
(2023-09)
Jiao, Yijuan
Environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) have an increasingly significant influence on the environmental governance process through various awareness and negotiation activities, but there is still a lack of a comprehensive understanding of their involvement in environmental bargaining (EB). This study aims to investigate the role of ENGOs in EB and the influencing factors of their role by combining EB and stakeholder theories. A mixed-methods research design involving an in-depth questionnaire survey, a semi-structured interview, document review, and participant observation was used to gain a more complete picture of the research context. A structural equation model of ENGOs' participation in EB was constructed to compare the role of ENGOs in the negotiation of the "Kunming PX Event" and the "Nujiang Water Event" in Yunnan, China. The results show that complex powers and interests play a crucial role during EB. The relationship network, media, and human resources are among the most significant factors influencing the role of ENGOs out of all the other factors such as funding, openness, knowledge, scale, and experience. The strength of ENGOs’ relationship networks is critical to solving environmental problems. In order for the roles of ENGOs to be effective in the EB process, they need to be placed in the right context in the negotiation process. It is necessary to establish efficient public participation platforms and processes for effective EB.

"Holff's Philosophical Anarchism - An Analysis"
(1980-08)
Tan Kuan Aw
This thesis begins with an Introduction which briefly describes the two basic theses of Wolff's position. Firstly, Wolff argues that political authority cannot be justified on moral grounds because there lS an irresolvable conflict between political authority and autonomy - man's fundamental moral duty. Secondly, he argues that no political theory can succeed in resolving this problem and in particular classical / democratic theory has failed to do so. Hence Wolff concludes that political authority must be rejected and anarchism is the only conclusion left for a rational man.
