    GOOD AS SUBJECT MATTER OF CONTRACT AF SALES - he concept of "progeny as oggossed to phxsical possession Asmould be seen earlier, Section 4 of 3060 (Malay States) 1957, defines contract of sale as follows: "a contract whereby a seller transfers or agrees to transfer the property in goods (emphasis addefl) to the buyer for a price. There may be a contract of sale between one part—owner and another". From the above definition, what is primary in the contract of sale in the transfer of ownership and not; mere physical possession of the goods. Thus under the contract of sale ownership is important and not just physical existance of the goods. By physical existence, is meant that the goods as subject matter under the contract of sale must be existing for example in a custody, control or possession. Section 6 (I) of SOGO (Malay States) I957, provides that there "must be existing goods, owned or possessed by seller or goods to be manufactured. “Therefore it is clearly shown that, there musr be a physical existence of the good itself. But as stated earlier by having the physical existence, it does not mean that one can have the title or the ownership of the goods

    The construction industry has historically lacked significant increase in productivity . Several reasons are often cited for this limited increase in industry productivity. One of the reasons cited is the construction industry inability to model construction productivity . This thesis focuses on the development of a productivity model that provides the average construction firm with a means of measuring, predicting, and improving a given method's productivity. Although the model may not always result in the development of optimal construction method productivity, it does provides the potential for local optimization for a given construction method. The model provides the potential for increases in method productivity. The model developed referred to as the Method Productivity Delay Model (MPDM), It providees the average construction firm with a means of measuring and predicting construction method productivity. The model fucuses on method productivity parameters that are measurable and controllable by the average construction firm. Method productivity parameters are addressed by documenting productivity delays

    A Facility Location-Allocation Model for Determining Number of Depot to Distribute Material in the Rattan Furniture Industry by Considering Dynamic Demand

    This paper is a study of a facility location-allocation problem in the rattan furniture industry. There are six production centers (PCs) of rattan furniture in Surakarta and its surroundings. However, their export sales are decline due to some possible problems in raw rattan distribution network from the sources centers (SCs), e.g. Borneo and Celebes Island to production centers. In the previous research, the model was expanded to support local government decide to determine optimal number of depot by consider static demand. This policy is aimed to cut the distribution channel and reduce total supply chain costs. Due to changing of global market, the demand is fluctuate. The previous model cannot anticipate this situation; consequently the local government needs a facility location-allocation model by considering dynamic demand. The objective of this research is to develop a model for supporting the local government to decide optimal number of depot by considers dynamic demand. A mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) was proposed to minimize total supply chain costs. The proposed model assumed that the demand for multiple products is known in advance. The potential raw rattan depot and source locations as well as their maximum capacities are also known. Finally, the proposed model can be used as instrument decision making to determine facility location-allocation. Keywords: dynamic demand, a facility location-allocation model, rattan industry competitiveness, total supply chain costs

    Traces the history of Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society Library which was founded along with the society in 1877. The Library contained a wealth of knowledge pertaining to Malaysia and its surrounding regions, consisting of Malay manuscripts, books, maps, pamphlets, photographs and journals. However, the Library met its tragic end in 1923 whereby its entire collection was transferred on permanent loan to the Raffles Library, Singapor

    Al-Rahnu development in Malaysia: a case of Al-Rahnu institution under the Terengganu Islamic religious and Malay customs council

    No full text
    The presence of the Islamic pawn broking scheme (al-rahnu) has caught attention in Malaysia, and has encouraged participation by society, especially low-income groups. One of the objectives in implementing this scheme was to protect the society, especially the Muslim community, from transactions involving elements of interest (riba). Al-rahnu operates by offering cash loan facilities that are quick, fair, transparent, and is based on Syariah principles. By the implementation of the Islamic pawn broking scheme the government is hoping that this scheme will be the primary option and eventually will replace the conventional scheme for pawn broking services. Even though the conventional pawn scheme has existed in Malaysia for a long time, and has monopolized the industry, Islamic pawn broking scheme is getting a huge demand by the society. After twenty years of its implementation in Malaysia, al-rahnu has become an important instrument in economic development as customers who have really no access or capacity to receive loans from the banking system can obtain financing from al-rahnu within minutes. As such, this paper will discuss the background of Islamic pawnshops in Malaysia and will be followed by a discussion that is focused on the Islamic concept of the pawnshop based on fiqh. The operation, implementation and performance aspects of Islamic pawnshops are also mentioned in this study by referring to al-rahnu under Terengganu Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIDAM), which was started in 1992 and was the first al-rahnu institution in Malaysia

    Phenolics, flavonoids content and antioxidant activities of 4 Malaysian herbal plants

    Water and ethanolic extracts of four Malaysian local herbs, Tenggek burung (Melicope Iunu-ankenda), Kesum (Polygonum minus), Curry leave (Murraya Koenigii) and Salam (Eugenia polyantha) were investigated for their total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and antioxidant activities (AA). Total phenolic content (TPC) of the herbs was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay while the total flavonoid content (TFC) was determined based on aluminium chloride-flavonoid assay. The determination of AA was done using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activitiy and ?-carotene bleaching assays (BCB). Different extraction solvents significantly affected the TPC, TFC and AA of all herbs studied (p < 0.05). Both Tenggek burung and Kesum showed highest TPC, TFC and AA regardless of extraction solvents compared to Curry leave and Salam. All herbs showed strong positive correlation between TPC and DPPH assay. However, negative and low correlation between TFC and AA were obtained for all herbs studied. This showed that phenolic compounds of certain structures were responsible for the AA of all the herbs in this study. In conclusion, all herbs in this study except curry leave could be inexpensive sources of good natural antioxidants with nutraceutical potential in food industry
