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 is a feasibility qualitative study involving a triangulation data collection method. The aim of the study is to develop a qualitative research to explore the lived experience of deaf individuals in attempt to view and understand their experience from their perspectives. This preliminary study involved a semi-structured interview with one deaf participant, observations of short video clips, and document review of relevant blog entries by a deaf individual from Malaysia. Thematic analysis was completed, and six emerging themes found were access, communication/interaction, gaining perspectives, interpreters, optimistic, and social support. As this was a feasibility study, modifications were made throughout the study. Limitations of this study was documented and taken into consideration in designing further studies.

Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan serta data di kumpul secara temu bual mendalam bersama 28 ibu dan bapa di Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti di sekitar Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Kajian ini mengetengahkan ibu bapa belajar berdasarkan pendekatan "belajar secara spontan" serta beradaptasi dengan perubahan seterusnya mengatasi cabaran emosi, perubatan dan pendidikan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pembelajaran berasaskan pengalaman merupakan proses berulang yang berterusan yang meningkatkan kebolehsuaian, penyelesaian masalah dan kemahiran advokasi ibu bapa. Dapatan kajian ini memberikan pandangan tentang bagaimana ahli profesional boleh memudahkan pembelajaran penjagaan anak berasaskan pengalaman dengan menyediakan maklum balas, sumber dan peluang masa nyata untuk pembelajaran reflektif.

Legitimacy and Public Trust in Coalition Governments: A Malaysian Perspective Pandian, Sivamurugan; Sulaiman, Aizatie Najmin

This article examines the issue of legitimacy in coalition governments in Malaysia following the 15th General Election (GE15), which for the first time produced a hung parliament and subsequently a unity government. While constitutionally valid through parliamentary majority support and the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, public acceptance of this government remains fragile. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study draws on 31 informants through in-depth interviews (IDI) and focus group discussions (FGD), complemented by secondary document analysis. The findings highlight five major themes undermining popular legitimacy: perceptions of a “forced coalition,” concerns about party dominance, the persistence of identity politics based on race and religion, unclear and inconsistent policy communication and economic confidence. These results are interpreted using Easton’s theory of specific versus diffuse support, Schmidt’s framework of input, output and throughput legitimacy and Public Choice Theory (Buchanan & Tullock). The study also underscores the Sarawak GPS model as an alternative example of coalition stability, achieved through a collective identity, ethnic consensus, and development-oriented politics. Overall, the article contributes to the literature by emphasizing that the legitimacy of coalition politics does not rest solely on parliamentary numbers, but also on the government’s ability to rebuild public trust through transparent communication, balanced power-sharing, and inclusive policymaking.

Kajian ini meneroka kesediaan ibu bapa menjaga anak kurang upaya pembelajaran di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Dengan menggunakan reka bentuk kualitatif, 28 ibu dan bapa telah dipilih daripada Pusat Pemulihan Komuniti (PDK) di sekitar Pulau Pinang. Temu bual separa berstruktur telah dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti pengalaman peribadi, emosi dan strategi daya tindak ibu bapa. Data di analisis menggunakan analisis tematik. Empat tema yang dikena pasti antaranya persediaan emosi, pemerkasaan maklumat, rangkaian sokongan sosial serta advokasi dan proses membuat keputusan. Penemuan menunjukkan bahawa kesediaan ibu bapa merupakan proses dinamik yang dibentuk oleh dimensi emosi, maklumat, sosial dan advokasi. Implikasi amalan kerja sosial di Malaysia termasuklah penyediaan kaunseling, maklumat, rangkaian komuniti dan sokongan advokasi.
