ELASTICITY TOWARDS ROAD CHARGES : SINGAPORE-MALAYSIA
No full textThe Malaysian government has recently introduced a new charge called the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), which applies to foreign-registered vehicles, starting with Singaporean cars. This action has resulted in discontent from the Singaporean government, who considers it discriminatory towards Singaporean-registered vehicles. Consequently, Singapore has responded to the announcement of Malaysia\u27s plan to implement the road charge-VEP on August 1st, 2014, by taking drastic measures such as increasing the VEP fee, imposing toll charges, and instituting a reciprocal charge that will only be lifted if Malaysia implements a VEP for foreign vehicles entering Malaysia. This study aims to analyze the potential impact of Malaysia\u27s Road Charge policy on travel demand, specifically focusing on Singaporean drivers crossing the border. The objective is to determine the degree of response by Singaporean drivers to the road charge and understand its possible repercussions on Malaysia\u27s tourism and commerce. In order to achieve this goal, the study examines related literature on the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), toll prices, and travel behaviour, including the concept of price elasticity of demand. The study utilizes secondary data and employs an elasticity model to calculate the elasticity of travel demand. The Mann Whitney and Independent T-Test will be utilized to establish the difference in the number of entries after the implementation of the Road Charge. The study\u27s findings indicate that the demand for private cars decreased by 44.66% from the beginning to the end of November 2016, and there was a sharp decline in demand even during the festive season. The researcher also determines that the demand for travellers is relatively elastic with a value of -0.108. This study\u27s results will provide policymakers with insight into the possible negative impacts of such policies and how to mitigate them on tourism and commerce, particularly for stakeholders with lower incomes and the environment.
Kerajaan Malaysia telah memperkenalkan caj baharu yang dipanggil Permit Kemasukan Kenderaan (VEP), yang terpakai kepada kenderaan berdaftar asing, bermula dengan kereta Singapura. Tindakan ini telah mengakibatkan ketidakpuasan hati daripada kerajaan Singapura, yang menganggap ia mendiskriminasikan kenderaan berdaftar Singapura. Akibatnya, Singapura telah bertindak balas terhadap pengumuman rancangan Malaysia untuk melaksanakan caj jalan-VEP pada 1 Ogos 2014, dengan mengambil langkah drastik seperti menaikkan caj VEP, meningkatkan caj tol, dan memulakan caj timbal balik yang hanya akan ditarik balik jika Malaysia melaksanakan VEP untuk semua kenderaan asing yang memasuki Malaysia. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis potensi kesan dasar Caj Jalan Malaysia terhadap permintaan perjalanan, khususnya memfokuskan kepada pemandu Singapura yang melintasi sempadan. Objektifnya adalah untuk menentukan tahap tindak balas pemandu Singapura terhadap caj jalan raya dan memahami kemungkinan kesannya terhadap pelancongan dan perdagangan Malaysia. Bagi mencapai matlamat ini, kajian mengkaji literatur berkaitan Permit Masuk Kenderaan (VEP), harga tol, dan gelagat perjalanan, termasuk konsep keanjalan harga permintaan. Kajian ini menggunakan data sekunder dan menggunakan model keanjalan untuk mengira keanjalan permintaan perjalanan. Ujian- Independent-T dan Mann Whitney akan digunakan untuk menentukan perbezaan dalam bilangan penyertaan selepas pelaksanaan Caj Jalan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa permintaan untuk kereta persendirian menurun sebanyak 44.66% dari awal hingga akhir November 2016, dan terdapat penurunan mendadak dalam permintaan walaupun pada musim perayaan. Pengkaji juga menentukan bahawa permintaan untuk pengembara adalah agak anjal dengan nilai -0.108. Keputusan kajian ini akan memberikan penggubal dasar dengan gambaran tentang kemungkinan kesan negatif dasar tersebut dan cara mengurangkannya terhadap pelancongan dan perdagangan, terutamanya bagi pihak berkepentingan yang berpendapatan rendah dan alam sekitar

Press Professionalism, Journalist Competence and Social Responsibility: A Conceptual Paper
No full textThe realization of press professionalism is a great hope for the Indonesian press community. Various steps have been formulated and implemented to improve the quality of journalists who are at the same time spearheading the implementation of democracy. One of them is the competence of journalists which has been implemented by the Press Council and journalistic professional organization groups since 2010. Until the end of 2022, as many as 17,000 journalists have taken the Journalist Competency Test (UKW) from more than 200,000 Indonesian journalists. For this reason; the Press Council continues to disseminate competency certification to all journalists and related stakeholders so that all journalists have competency certification. This study found that there are two things that become obstacles in realizing the professionalism of the press. First, there are still many journalists who do not understand the competence of journalists and have not mastered journalistic skills or technical pragmatism. Second, journalist competency certification has no effect on increasing the welfare of journalists, or pragmatic professionalism has not been fulfilled. This study uses literature studies to obtain research data, then collects and analyzes sources from articles, books, previous research on press professionalism and journalistic competence. To formulate research results, researchers use the Social Responsibility Theory of the Press which is in accordance with the professionalism of journalists and their responsibility to society. This paper discusses the reciprocal application of the concept of Press Social Responsibility so that there is a shared responsibility between the press and the public in realizing press professionalism. Because based on Article 17 of the Press Law Number 40 of 1999 it is stated that the public can participate in building the quality of the national press

The The Influence of Supply Chain Management Practises on Operational Performance of Quoted Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria: Procurement Outsourcing And Order Process Management View
No full textThe study explored the influence of supply chain management practises on operational performance in the manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Conversely, the study adopted the cross-sectional survey research design. Data were primarily sourced through administered questionnaires. A collection of four thousand, nine hundred and eighty-four (4,984) employees of all manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and operating in Nigeria\u27s Edo and Delta States make up the study\u27s population. A sample size of 370 was computed using the Yamane’s formula and same number of questionnaires was administered but 318 were found fit in testing the formulated hypotheses. Research data were analyzed, using descriptive and inferential statistical instruments. Based on the ordinary least squares regression, the study revealed that procurement outsourcing (?= 0.082974, t-Statistic= 3.049313 and p<0.05) and order process management (?= 0.349839, t-Statistic= 7.972484 and p<0.05) have positive and statistically significant relationship with operational performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Based on these conclusions, the study suggested that management of manufacturing firms conduct a benchmarking exercise for best players in the industry as a way to improve their procurement outsourcing practices, and that the facility and competence of order processing system should be routinely evaluated using indicators that tracked the flexibility and dependability of order handling. This would allow them to attain and keep up supply chain performance that is unmatched
