    Road accidents have alarmed Malaysian citizens all over the country. This study proves that a combination of human characteristics may contribute to the increase in the accident rate of motorcyclists on the road. Human characteristics such as riding anger, riding attitude, and lack of mindfulness may be the leading causes of motorcycle accidents. Malaysian road accident proneness research is still in its early phase. This study intends to investigate the relationship between riding anger, riding attitude, mindfulness, and road accident proneness. This study adopts a quantitative methodology employing a questionnaire distributed to visitors of authorised Yamaha dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The results of structural equation modelling reveal that riding anger, riding attitude, and mindfulness substantially impact road accident proneness. The explanation of the current research contains significant theoretical and practical significance, as well as suggestions for minimising the accident rate of road users.

    Safety is an imperative element within organisations, including the manufacturing industry in Malaysia, and prioritising safety knowledge is essential for establishing a secure working environment. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current research on safety knowledge, specifically focusing on the influential factors, given that this predictor has received serious attention in the occupational safety literature in manufacturing organisations. The review discusses the concept of safety knowledge, factors influencing safety knowledge and gaps in the literature in previous studies. The final section of the paper offers a discussion on potential avenues for future research and concludes with insights pertinent to this study’s findings.

    Road accidents are considered one of the most severe threats to the motoring public globally, including Malaysia. There was a considerable number of vehicles involved in road accidents, specifically motorcycles and motorcars. Together, they recorded the highest number of vehicles involved in accidents on Malaysian roads. Malaysian authorities on road safety and transportation have taken numerous efforts such as public education, campaign, and traffic rules enforcement in order to reduce accident rates among the most accident-prone road users, namely drivers of motorcars and motorcycles. However, evidence suggests that accident rates among these accident-prone drivers remain high. Thus, motorcar and motorcycle drivers, by far, remains as high-risk road users on Malaysian road. Many studies in the past attempted to discover factors that contribute to the high number of road accidents among these high-risk drivers. However, these studies were engineering-based, and countermeasures suggested from behavioral studies are still scarce. Therefore, the present study aims to bridge the existing gap. Specifically, this study will propose a conceptual framework to investigate the relationship and influence of behavioral variables on road accident proneness among motorcar and motorcycle drivers. The framework is expected to aid government agencies such as JPJ, PDRM, JKJR, and Ministry of Transport in the planning of effective road safety campaigns, education, and enforcement by targeting a specific group of high-risk road user.

    This study was conducted to investigate the effect of an implant wearer comprising among orthopedic patients as well as the use of implant dentistry in Northern Malaysia. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed and 70 questionnaires can be used to record, analyze and test hypotheses. Data for all variables were collected through a questionnaire administered alone and analyzed by using SmartPLS V3. A total of four (4) hypotheses have been formulated and the results show that the hypothesis is supported. The results show that: (1) limit the functionality and quality of life was significantly (0.904) in connection with the implant wearer, (2) physical pain was significantly (0.845) relating to the quality of life, (3) physical discomfort was significantly (0.792) in connection with quality of life, and also (4) social discomfort is significant as well (0.809). This finding suggests that there are positive effects on the implant wearer who through life routine. The results of the study may also serve as a basis for reliable decisions related to quality of life and for the implementation of awareness campaign that increase how the need for humanity in the field of quality involvement.

    Road traffic accidents involving motorcyclists are a significant public health issue in Malaysia, with p‐hailing riders particularly vulnerable. This study investigates the influence of riding distraction on risky riding behavior among p‐hailing riders in Malaysia, focusing on the mediating role of moral disengagement. Drawing on Bandura’s Moral Disengagement Theory and the Job Demand‐Resources (JD‐R) model, this research explores how distractions, such as mobile phone use and navigation adjustments, contribute to moral disengagement and subsequently lead to risky riding behaviors. A sample of 200 p‐hailing riders, representative of the broader rider population, was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that riding distraction significantly increases risky riding behavior and that this relationship is partially mediated by moral disengagement. These results underscore the importance of addressing external distractions and cognitive justifications to improve road safety among p‐hailing riders. The study recommends implementing specific interventions such as strict mobile phone usage policies and targeted training programs to reduce risky behaviors. These findings have the potential to inform policy and enhance safety practices for p‐hailing riders, thereby reducing the incidence of road traffic accidents in this high‐risk group.

    The introductory of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in replacing the existing Sales and Services Tax (SST) has turned out to be an attention-grabbing topic to all parties given that the public will be taxed in proportion to their level of spending irrespective of income hence this is definitely an issue that concerns all. Consumers are always resistant to change thus for people to accept any new form of tax, government need to make strong effort in educating and familiarizing it to the members of public on how the new tax (GST) will benefit them in the long run. The successful takeoff of GST is not toll-free as it will require massive preparation from all parties. Ultimately, government plays a crucial role in educating and convincing the public so as to ensure the smooth GST take off.

    The paper aims to investigate the relationship between workplace violence, occupational burnout and turnover among nurses in Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 420 nurses at public hospitals in the Northern part of Malaysia. The results were then analyzed using the Social Sciences Statistical System (SPSS) and the Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) Partial Least Squares. The findings indicate that workplace violence and occupational burnout were positively significant with turnover. At the end of the paper, forwarded a few suggestions and recommendations based on the finding.

    This research investigates the factors that influence high numbers of road fatalities and accidents among motorcycle riders. This study proposes a conceptual framework that illustrates how high-risk road users, such as motorcycle riders, can prevent road accidents by fostering high-impact preventive countermeasures for sustainable traffic safety. Several critical variables on road user behavior related to road accident involvement are presented in a conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework suggested that behavioral factors such as anger, attitude, and sensation seeking affect the motorcycle riders' involvement in a road accident. Additionally, mindfulness plays an important mediating role between behavioral factors and road accident involvement. The proposed framework considers a comprehensive set of reviews rarely discussed in the existing literature. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was proposed to evaluate the proposition of the latent variables and their influence on road accident involvement. The proposed path model indicated that mindfulness has a strategic role in reducing road accident involvement, having an indirect effect through riding anger, attitude and sensation seeking. The study could benefit transportation authorities and agencies in Malaysia to execute high-impact countermeasures to reduce road accident involvement among motorcyclists in Malaysia.
