Abstract

Malaysia's population, estimated at 33.7 million in 2023, continues to grow with an annual population growth rate of 0.2 per cent, thus increasing the need for robust food security measures. Despite this, the country struggles with self-sufficiency in basic food production, heavily relying on imports, which resulted in a food trade deficit increased to RM31 billion in 2022 compared to RM25 billion deficit in 2021. Conversely, waqf, an Islamic endowment, presents a unique opportunity for wealth distribution and societal benefit. However, current governance practices in waqf institutions suffer from inadequate management, transparency, and skilled human resources, resulting in the proliferation of idle waqf lands. If effectively strategized, these lands could be optimally utilized for national food security initiatives in Malaysia. This study aims to explore successful global best practices in maximizing waqf land for food security. Examples are including legal reforms to harmonize the regulatory framework governing waqf properties, adopting more flexible and innovative financial models such as PPPs, cash waqf and corporate waqf, through community involvement, using of modern technology and innovative farming techniques such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), blockchain, and precision agriculture, and so on. The research adopts a qualitative approach, analyzing primary and secondary materials through governing statutes, reported cases, semi-structured interviews, and data from respective administrative bodies. Aligning with national policies like the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 and the National Agrofood Policy 2.0, this study aims to provide best practices and lessons learned, as well as recommendations for legal frameworks, strategies, policies, and guidelines to enhance sustainable agriculture and community welfare. The ultimate goal is to ensure a secure and sustainable food supply in Malaysia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the disharmony between normative regulation and the implementation of the protection of Persons with Mental Disorders (ODGJ) in Indonesia, especially at the regional level, by integrating the perspectives of national law, human rights, and Islamic law. The method used is normative legal research (doctrinal legal research) enriched with a socio-legal approach. The research approach includes the statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach, with theoretical frameworks in the form of legal functionalization theory, legal protection theory, and maqāṣid al-syarī'ah which emphasizes the protection of the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and the principle of non-discrimination. The results of the study show that the failure of ODGJ protection does not stem from weaknesses in legal norms, but from structural failures in implementation. The disharmony of regulations is reflected in weak coordination between agencies, limited resources for mental health workers, and the lack of operational and applicable regional regulations. In addition, the legal culture of the community that is still full of stigma and discrimination exacerbates the ineffectiveness of legal protection for ODGJ. This study concludes that the effectiveness of ODGJ protection requires an integrative model that incorporates a human rights approach and the values of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah in an implemented manner. The main findings confirm that the main problem lies in structural and cultural aspects, not normative; Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen implementing regional regulations, increase institutional capacity and mental health services, and social interventions based on public education to remove stigma, in order to realize an inclusive, effective, and equitable ODGJ protection system.
