Generation-Y (GenY) makes up the largest population of Malaysia. This generation is different as compared to generations before them as they are born with innovated
technology, grow up with the internet and active on social media; either for networking purpose or to facilitate them in purchasing. GenY prefers to refer contents uploaded by
other social media users when deciding to purchase. It is believing, the contents uploaded are truthful and unbiased. Sellers are aware that contents uploaded are uncontrollable, and not always in favour of them. Therefore, many sellers have opted to conduct their social media marketing strategies as efforts to create better customer engagements with hopes to attract purchases and to only spread positive words about their brands and product. Stimulus-Organism-Responses (SOR) Model by Eroglu et al. (2001) is adopted in this study along with other relevant and related models to examine the impact of mobile environmental cues (page image layout, information, privacy, and shaped discussion) on customers' cognitive (perceived usefulness and perceived ease
of use), and affective (arousal and pleasure) states that in turn, influence their purchase intention and positive user-generated content (UGC) spread. Purposive sampling
technique is employed, and respondents (N = 207) were among Instagram users who have experiences in conducting purchases via Instagram within 12 months. Data were analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) technique. The results obtained revealed that mobile environmental cues influence one's responses after going through organism (cognitive and affective). Although information is assumed to be very important for digital marketing and selling, yet findings showed information did not have positive or significant relationships with organism variables. Shaped discussion was found to be more impactful on organism variables which influences Instagram users to conduct purchasing via mobile and to spread good contents. Meanwhile, arousal was found to be the most influential organism variable on purchase intention. Findings of this study highlighted that engagements and relationships between online buyers and
sellers are important in order to make sellers to be more competitive and sustain in conducting their businesses

In Malaysia, corporal punishment by caning/whipping has been used for decades, mostly as an additional sentence to imprisonment or as an alternative to a fine. There are four statutes that govern the sentences of whipping namely The Penal Code, the Arms Act 1960, the Firearms (Increased penalty) Act 1971, and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance 1952. There are three categories of persons who cannot be imposed the sentence of whipping, namely females, males sentenced to death, and males whom the court considers to be more than fifty years of age. In recent events, questions has been put forward by the human rights movement that this form of punishment is rather harsh and inhumane. There has been a doubt on whether it is still relevant as a form of criminal punishment to be practised in this country. Some people view it as a rather uncivilized form of punishment rather than to rehabilitate, to deter, to reform and as retribution in accordance with the four theories of punishment highlighted by the jurist.

There has been a numbers of hadith and verse in the holy Al-Quran which approved the validity of whipping as a form of punishment in Islam. Therefore it can be conclude that in Islam, caning/whipping is acknowledge as a form of punishment
The Impact of User – Generated Content (UGC) on Product Reviews towards Online Purchasing – A Conceptual Framework
AbstractSocial media is a virtual community that links people around the globe through many websites such as Friendster, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. In 2010, Instagram was introduced as a new addition to this social media family. Since then, many online retailers have started to conduct their businesses on Instagram as they see this new social media as a friendlier channel and easier to monitor compared to Facebook and Blogs. Many buyers would also prefer to purchase from Instagram as well due to less cluttered page, straightforward interface and easier to read feedbacks from other buyers. Feedbacks or also known as User – Generated Content (UGC) happens when previous buyers share their experiences online, which allows others including the potential buyers to read. Based on an extensive literature review, this paper proposes a framework to investigate the influence of UGC on consumer's online product purchase intention. Findings from this study are expected to extend the literature on UGC and give benefits to marketers and online business operators
