    No full text
    The various efforts of the Malaysian government to produce more entrepreneurs among the youth have unfortunately failed to achieve the intended impact. A report by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education in 2017, shows that only 2% of university graduates opt to become entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the International Labor Organization reports the Malaysian youth unemployment in 2017, represents a staggering number of 237,400 persons. These statistics raise questions on the role of Malaysian entrepreneurship education in producing new entrepreneurs. Hence, this conceptual paper attempts to explore the role of entrepreneurship education by clarifying the important elements in education and examining the impact on entrepreneurial intention as the best determinant of entrepreneurial behaviour. By reviewing the secondary data from various articles and books, this research illustrates the key findings graphically. The result of this paper indicates that entrepreneurship education should be cultivated at an early age to ensure adequate exposure to entrepreneurial skills and knowledge. This paper also suggests ways and approaches to reveal young individuals with entrepreneurial intention, which is identified as the best predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour. Ultimately, through the findings of this research, the authors aim to deliver the best methods of educating young individuals to encourage them to become entrepreneurs

Berdasarkan metode analisis kes yang telah diputuskan oleh mahkamah mengenai pencurian maklumat dalam SPTB digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah untuk melihat keselamatan sistem pendaftaran berkomputer untuk menjaga hak milik tuan punya tanah.

The research problem shows the spread of some intellectual and doctrinal deviations among the Muslim societies today, and this have made them see the non-Islamic approach as a better alternative to theirs. This indicates their lack of proper understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah contents; they do not have proper training on the Qur'an and do not comprehend the rites of Allah SWT upon them. Another extreme religious understanding is the fatwa legalizing bloodshed and violation of privacy.. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the ideological and intellectual deviations of the Muslim societies, and to illustrate the danger of the intellectual and secular imbalance (extremism) and its impact on the contemporary Muslim society.

The research concludes that the Muslim societies suffer serious deviations.
