    Many researchers claim that technology-based risks are growing in number and frequency. The major accidents, which often involve large numbers of workers and the public, and adversely affect the environment, have highlighted the dangers in both large and small enterprises. However, Small enterprises are often characterized by poor working conditions and a hazardous working environment. In this paper, an attempt to defined the compliance of guidelines and Regulations of (Notification of Accident, Dangerous Occurrence, Occupational Poisoning and Occupational Disease) Regulations 2004 [NADOPOD] on the Safety and Health, Ministry of Human Resources in Malaysia on the basic concept of technology-based SME in Northern Malaysia. The methodology on determining the awareness and compliance to NADOPOD guideline amongst Technology-based SME is illustrated. This conceptual paper is aimed to improve the conceptual parts of analysis, on the establishment of the level of awareness and compliance to NADOPOD among SMEs and identify the challenges and issues that impede compliance and assist the authority in their effort towards improving enforcement and promoting occupational safety, health and welfare of people at work.

    Healthcare organization is struggling to provide customer driven quality service. The key success of healthcare service is the ability to develop a comprehensive healthcare service and deliver the best service direct to customer as required. Coherently, the measure of customer feedback should definitely show good perception of service fulfillment and satisfaction. As part of quality improvement process, an outstanding healthcare organization should practice an effective complaint management system (CMS) as the main voice of customer (VOC) source, which directly mirror the quality of healthcare service. The CMS will act as an essential decision support tool by providing seamless handling of complaints, introduces systematic improvement process, thus enabling hospitals to turn weakness into opportunities. However, Malaysian top public healthcare organizations are implicitly not really put much efforts to have a kind of proper CMS to treat complaints as critical and need immediate resolution. In other words, the VOC might not be heard in right way and account as the customer demand, expect and desire. This scenario may be the evident and reason why the present states of public Malaysian healthcare service providers are still unable to fully incorporate the customer requirement or complaint in to their strategic agendas, which account all the customer needs and expectations. This paper presents the current scenario of local public healthcare service with special focus to their implementation of CMS or similar system, in conjunction with healthcare constraints and VOC. Based on recent healthcare literature, an inclusive comparison is made and discussed to justify the gap of improvement in healthcare service. From findings, it is identified that complaint management practice is lacking of systematic procedure to prioritize complaints by customers. To be competitive, an alternative customer prioritizing approach mainly incorporates the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Kano’s Model is proposed conceptually. The new mechanism concept is hope to effectively address a complaint which not only satisfies the customer but also an opportunity to create positive experience with customers, building a healthier foundation, stronger brand value and avoiding legal penalties. It also provides fair balance information for decision making while facing constraints such as operational, legal, human resource and market pressures.

    The unavailability of external financing and lack of access to formal finance are topics of significant research interest to academicians and important issues to policy makers around the globe. However compared to large firms, SMEs frequently tend to report financing as amajor obstacle. The financial constraints of SMEs to access to finance are beyond question by many researchers. Thus, this study attempts to discuss the factors that lead to influence financial institutions in lending technologies to provide finance to SMEs in Malaysia. The methodologies on the relationship between the requirements of financial institutional and the type of lending technologies provided for SMEs is illustrate. This conceptual paper is aimed to improved the theoretical parts of analysis, on the factors influencing Financial Institutions on lending technologies to technology-based SMEs in the northern region of Malaysia and identify the challenges issues regarding the requirements of financial providers based on the lending technologies adoption, be it transaction lending or relationship lending. Furthermore, the methodologies will also be able to assist researchers to get more information on the unique needs for finance of SMEs and tailor the finance providers’ requirements to be SMEs friendlier i.e. better meet SMEs ability and needs in order to achieve win-win situation.

    A proposed decision making model for Malaysia
    (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2010-11-12)
    Yoshifumi Harada
    The paper introduces a proposed decision making model based on two different conventional decision making processes. The aim is to develop an appropriate model for any organization in Malaysian and to assess its implications for change in a contextual global context. The Japanese decision making procedure is one model considered. This, the ringit system, uses a bottom up approach. The United State‘s procedure is the other whereby a centralized system follows a top-down approach. The two systems are analyzed to establish why the systems have developed differently in each country. Certain cultural dimensions, such as power distance and individualism (Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede (2005), are considered as factors. These useful interpretations of homogeneous and heterogeneous societies are used to understand the culture of America and Japan with their different ethnic and social contexts. This analysis of the two different cultural dimensions provides the basis for developing a decision making model for Malaysia. This model is put forward for use by Malaysian decision makers to achieve their missions and visions. A preliminary assessment is undertaken of the implications of the model for decision making for Malaysian engineering in a global context.

    This study attempted to find out whether the size of audit firm, internal audit establishment and former senior auditor as company director have any significant effect on earning management. All data were extracted from the annual reports. The sample firms used in this study were all the companies listed on Bursa Malaysia under Malaysia Exchange for Securities Dealing and Automated Quotation (MESDAQ) technological sector in 2006. There were 128 MESDAQ Companies listed in 2006. However due to unavailability of reports, 113 were used for analysis. Earning Management can be viewed from financial reporting perspective. From a financial reporting perspective, managers may use earning management to meet analysts’ earning forecast, thereby avoiding the strong negative share price reaction that quickly follow a failure to meet investor expectations. Too much earning management, however, reduces the earning quality and the ability investor to interpret current net income as well, particularly if the earning management is buried in core earning or otherwise not fully disclosed. The reported net income is useful to investor in evaluating future firm performance but excessive earning management may reduce this usefulness. Thus this study is very important because from the research findings shows that the size of audit firm, internal audit establishment and former senior auditor as company director have no significant effect on earning management. An understanding of the earning management is also important to accountants because it enables an improved understanding of the usefulness of the net income, especially for reporting to investor. It also may assist them to avoid some of the serious legal and reputation consequences that arise when firms become financially distress where such distress is often preceded by serious abuse of earnings management.

    Bahasa menjadi wadah utama sebagai alat komunikasi dalam menghubungkan sesuatu bangsa dan tamadun. Bahasa juga menunjukkan taraf sesuatu bangsa itu. Bahasa Melayu suatu ketika dahulu menjadi bahasa utama dan menjadi alat penghubung di Nusantara. Justeru itu usaha memartabatkan bahasa Melayu perlu diteruskan dan di modenisasikan. Dalam dunia yang kian mencabar penggunaan bahasa Melayu perlu diperluaskan di peringkat sekolah sehingga Institusi Pengajian Tinggi. Usaha ini bukan hanya diarahkan kepada penggiat bahasa sahaja malah ianya perlu digerakkan secara menyeluruh. Kemajuan sesebuah negara bukanlah bergantung kepada penggunaan bahasa Inggeris sahaja, jika tidak mana mungkin negara-negara seperti Jepun, Perancis, Jerman dan lain-lain lagi boleh menguasai teknologi dunia dengan menggunakan bahasa mereka sendiri. Dalam hal ini tindakan memperkayakan dan memperbanyakkan kosa kata bahasa diperlukan bagi mewujudkan daya saing Bahasa Melayu di peringkat antarabangsa. Justeru strategi menyeluruh dan jitu perlu dilakukan bagi merealisasikan hasrat ini. Dalam usaha memartabatkan bahasa Melayu, bahasa Inggeris tidak kita lupakan kerana ianya kini menjadi bahasa utama di peringkat antarabangsa. Usaha meningkatkan penguasaan bahasa Inggeris turut dilaksanakan secara komprehensif.

    Women owned businesses are typically characterized by some unique set of features; smallness in size, low barrier of entry with less capital requirement, and hence yield slower growth and low returns. Most of the women entrepreneurs are driven towards the choice of entrepreneurship primarily motivated by their obligation to satisfy home maker roles. Therefore women entrepreneurship is found to be more of a result of family orientation than profit orientation. Women entrepreneurs are found to be less diversified with predominant presence in boutique and food industry. The characteristics of women owned businesses closely mimic to micro enterprise; such as: operated from own home, fewer than five employees. Because of size and slow growth financial institutions are not interested in funding them- one of the major problems of advancement for the women business owners. Size also hinders branding opportunity. As branding ensures reliability and consistency to the consumers mind, the author in this proposal attempts to test if branding opportunity exists for women owned small businesses and how branding can add to market development leading to business growth.

    This research was carried out to fabricate and characterize Co-Cr-Mo (F-75) alloy. The samples have been prepared via solid state sintering. The powders were supplied by Sandvik Osprey Ltd, UK and special design for biomedical applications. The lab work comprises the mixing of F-75 powder with 2 wt. % of binder. The mixture was cold compacted using uniaxially press at 500 MPa. The samples were sintered at three different temperatures (1250 °C, 1300 °C and 1350 °C) in inert environment for 90 minutes of sintering time. The sintered samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and optical microscope (OM) Olympus BX41M. Bulk density, apparent porosity, percentage of linear shrinkage, and microhardness of the samples were also characterized. The average of the grain sizes were measured by line intercepts method. The optical micrographs showed the difference grain size in all sintered samples after etching with Marble reagent. The result shows the percentage of linear shrinkage, bulk density value and porosity increase with increasing the sintering temperature. Beside that, higher sintering temperature yields coarser grain structure.
