The role of young farmers in the paddy agriculture sector is vital for ensuring the sustainability and progression of agricultural activities. Therefore, it is crucial that young farmers receive attention from various parties to gain access to government aid for paddy agriculture. This study aims to address three objectives: identifying the challenges young farmers face in accessing government programs and aid for paddy agriculture, understanding the importance of accessibility to these programs and aid for young farmers, and exploring strategies to enhance accessibility. For this study, a qualitative approach was adopted, and 15 respondents were interviewed individually. The findings reveal that the main issue and challenge faced by young farmers is their lack of preparedness to access government aid for paddy agriculture. The study also explores the importance of government aid for young farmers through the insights gathered during the interviews. Five key benefits of government paddy agriculture aid for young farmers were identified: reducing operational costs, increasing revenue, lightening the workload, improving fertilizing and harvesting techniques, and increasing paddy farming yields. Finally, the study proposes practices to enhance accessibility for young farmers, which include empowering their skills and abilities, strengthening public institutions, and improving infrastructure facilities. These findings can serve as a benchmark for future endeavors and guide interested parties in their efforts to support young farmers.

This study aims to unravel the paradox of perceptions and knowledge of the flood victims towards the causes of the disaster in the context of internal and external. Internal context comprises of a comparison of perceptions and knowledge based on individual characteristics (age, gender, education and income). Whereas, the external context includes the factors of the awareness of the victims towards the amount of rainfall, the impact of land use changes as well as the negligence of the responsible parties. The main objective of this study is to determine the differences of perception and knowledge of December 2014 flood victims in Kelantan towards the factors that lead to the flood. This disaster had resulted in huge amount of money lost as well as traumatize the victims in which can be felt to this day. Since that incident, there were various points of view and different perceptions in finding the cause of the disaster occurred. Besides that, the study found that the level of perception and knowledge as to the cause of the disaster is different in the context of the internal (individual characteristics). This difference has a significant influence on the awareness of the causes of the floods that occurred in the external context. Significant relationships at the level of p<0.05 has existed between perception and knowledge of the causes of the disaster victims affected by environmental changes in the last 10 years. This indicates that although the victim is aware of the physical environment changes happening around them, but all that is seen is not a major contributing factor to the cause of the floods in Kelantan in 2014.

This study examines the relationship between inflation dynamics, economic policy responses, and local political stability in three countries with differing institutional contexts, Turkey, Malaysia, and Indonesia, over the period 2020– 2025. The research is grounded in a comparative descriptive-analytic ap- proach, enabling a systematic assessment of how inflationary pressures in- teract with political and institutional arrangements at the sub-national level. Methodologically, the study utilizes official macroeconomic statistics comple- mented by secondary sources, including economic policy reports, working papers, and peer-reviewed literature produced by international institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, and OECD. The Qualitative analysis is further supported by NVivo 14, which is used to examine policy discourse patterns and visualize comparative trends across countries. The findings demonstrate that inflation extends beyond its conventional role as a macroeconomic vari- able and exerts a direct influence on socio-political dynamics and local politi- cal stability. Turkey exhibits pronounced inflation volatility driven by uncon- ventional monetary policies under strong political influence, which has inten- sified social tensions and weakened local stability. In contrast, Malaysia has maintained relatively moderate inflation through prudent monetary manage- ment and targeted subsidy policies, supporting social stability despite changes in national leadership. Indonesia represents an intermediate case, where co- ordinated monetary and fiscal interventions are deployed to contain inflation and sustain social resilience amid an ongoing political transition. It addresses a critical gap in existing research on economic pressures and socio-political resilience at the sub-national level.

The growing adoption of digital government has encouraged Muslim-majority countries to integrate technological innovation with religious and socio-cultural values in public governance. However, existing studies largely focus on technological readiness and administrative reforms, while limited attention has been paid to how Islamic governance principles shape smart governance implementation. This study examined the interplay between digital policy, institutional capacity, and Islamic values in the development of smart governance in Türkiye, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Employing a comparative qualitative design, the research utilized a Most Similar System approach to analyze three countries that share Islamic socio-political characteristics but exhibit different trajectories of digital transformation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials, academics, and civil society representatives, complemented by policy documents, government reports, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that smart governance performance is influenced not only by technological infrastructure but also by the institutionalization of Islamic governance values. Türkiye demonstrates a technology-driven model characterized by advanced digital integration and administrative efficiency. Malaysia exhibits a value-oriented model in which the principles of amanah (accountability), ‘adl (justice), and shura (consultative governance) are explicitly embedded in public policy. Indonesia represents a regulatory-driven model supported by the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE), although implementation disparities persist across local governments. The study proposes an Islamic Smart Governance Framework that highlights the synergistic relationship between institutional capacity, digital innovation, and Islamic ethical values in enhancing transparency, participation, and public trust. These findings contribute to the literature on digital governance by offering a contextualized perspective on smart governance in Muslim-majority societies.
