Abstract

Although Malaysia has made progress in recognising Indigenous rights, the perspectives of Orang Asli women on feminism and gender equality remain largely absent from legal and academic discourse. This article examines the legal tensions between indigenous customary laws and Malaysia’s constitutional commitment to gender equality, as perceived and experienced by Orang Asli women. The central legal issue explored is whether customary practices that reflect patriarchal norms can withstand constitutional scrutiny under Article 8 of the Federal Constitution, and how these practices align with Malaysia’s obligations under CEDAW and UNDRIP. Using a doctrinal legal methodology, the study systematically examines constitutional provisions, relevant legislation, and judicial interpretations concerning indigenous law and gender rights. A socio-legal component complements this analysis through empirical data collected from 120 questionnaires and 30 semi-structured interviews with Orang Asli women from five selected tribes, providing context to how these legal norms function in practice. This article contributes to legal theory by engaging with legal pluralism and feminist legal thought, revealing how unregulated customary practices can undermine fundamental rights. Thus, it enhances legal studies by highlighting an ethical framework for legislative and judicial reconciliation between constitutional equality and indigenous legal traditions. In a pluralistic legal circumstance, this study advocates on Malaysian legal institutions to acknowledge the changing voices of Indigenous women as catalysts of change.

Abstract

The phenomenon of ghosting in synchronous online learning, which indicates student disengagement, negatively affects student achievement. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving student academic achievement, creative thinking skills, and engagement in synchronous online learning environments. A mixed-method, pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The participants were enrolled in an Environmental Education course delivered through synchronous online tutorials (webinars). The PjBL model was implemented in six stages: posing essential questions, designing project plans, scheduling tasks, monitoring project activities and progress, assessing outcomes, and evaluating the learning experience. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that the PjBL model improved student learning outcomes at a low level, significantly enhanced creative thinking skills, and greatly increased student engagement. The study concludes that the PjBL model is a promising pedagogical approach for enhancing synchronous online learning experiences and fostering student cognitive development.
