Tourism sector performance contributes to a large part of the Malaysian service economy (The World Factbook, 2013). In 2016, Malaysia faced an economic crisis, and it affects tourism sectors. Moreover, data from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture (MOTAC) have shown that the number of tourists is decreasing at 1.5% in March 2016. This scenario has become a severe issue for the government because the Tourism Sector is one of the government’s important agenda in the NKEAs through National Ecotourism Plan. According to the MOTAC (2013), the nation's tourism sector is now the sixth-largest contributor to the national economy in 2014. However, inappropriate tourism development can lead to adverse social impacts. This research attempts to investigate the social impacts of tourism development on the local community in Perlis, Malaysia. Intends to develop and enhance its tourism sector to attract tourists to make the state as a stopover location. Even though Perlis records about 2.5 million tourists annually, most of them only pass through the state to continue their journey to Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Nevertheless, studies are still lacking, particularly those specifically investigating the perception of local residents towards tourism development. The perception of the locals is important since it could determine the extent of their support for tourism development. Findings reveal that the residents understand the tourism sector could strengthen the national economy, but they also want natural resources to be protected.

The purpose of this study is to examine empirically the effect of government spending on healthcare systems on malaysia's economic growth during the early stages of the Covid 19 epidemic. Even as society became aware of the potential dangers of Covid 19, there has been a massive effort to rapidly increase capacity in the healthcare system. In Malaysia, in addition to emphasising the importance of strict adherence to the Movement Control Order (MCO), the government announced an immediate increase in funding for healthcare services as part of the initial phase fiscal policy reply to the Covid 19 outbreak. This study employed Dynamic Panel Data, also identified as a longitudinal study, and collected data over a four-month period, from December 2019 to March 2020, in five Asian countries involved with Covid 19. This study discovered that the Dynamic Panel Data System GMM Estimation model is suitable for interpreting the results, indicating that government expenditure on Covid-19 (p-value = 0.036), unemployment rate and inflation rate have a significant relationship with healthcare sector growth of 1%, 2%, and 5%, respectively. In terms of limitations, such a study only focuses on four months of data from selected Asia countries participating in Covid-19. The findings of panel causality recommend that there are bidirectional links between healthcare sector growth and government spending. Empirical findings suggest that fiscal policy reforms are required to channel healthcare industry growth to increased government spending as a result of Malaysia's fiscal policy.
