The COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on many countries in early 2020 after the first case was reported in China at the end of 2019. Malaysia was not spared either and the Government was forced to take a bold yet drastic measure in implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO) in earnest on 18 March 2020. The measure, akin to a lockdown, practically forced all forms of socio-economics and socio-educational activities to come to an abrupt stop. Schools, institutions of higher learning and training centers were directed to close its doors to students. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) had to abruptly implement contingency plans in the wake of the negative impact brought about by the pandemic. Almost all academic activities had to be reorganized when majority of the students opted to return to the safety of their home environment, and the staff were required to work from home in compliant with the MCO. This development necessitated the University to introduce the remote learning mode in place of the traditional face to face learning and teaching (T&L). Various other strategies and measures were also introduced by the University which required reprioritization of tasks and determining possible risks that could impede normal daily operations. UUM opted for a holistic approach to address the impending concerns and to ensure the continuity of the education process and to address the wellbeing of its staff who are forced to work from home.

Background: The pursuit of a knowledge society in rural Malaysia represents a transformative vision of development, emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and sustainable growth. This article introduces a conceptual framework for transitioning Changloon, a rural town, into a knowledge society over a ten-year timeline. Anchored by Universiti Utara Malaysia’s (UUM) leadership, the framework integrates education, community engagement, technology adoption, and sustainable practices across four key pillars: waste transformation, tourism transformation, knowledge transformation, and social transformation. Methods: Using the Living Lab approach, the project fosters real-time experimentation and feedback, ensuring sustainable and practical solutions. Findings: The Changloon Transformation Project (CTP) utilizes the Living Lab methodology to address socio-economic challenges and transition Changloon into a knowledge society, integrating waste, tourism, knowledge, and social pillars. Its proximity to Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) enhances the project's potential, ensuring community-driven, sustainable solutions. Conclusion: Despite the challenges of behavioral change and innovation among disadvantaged groups, the project addresses these issues through skills development, financial literacy, and mentorship programs. CTP serves as a replicable model for other rural communities, demonstrating how local strategic solutions and partnerships can create resilient and inclusive communities. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research contributes to the field by introducing a holistic knowledge society framework tailored to rural, integrating waste and tourism transformation as key drivers of economic and social resilience.
