Research Field:
As a historian and sociologist of religion, I have carried out research on
developments in contemporary religions including Oriental religions and Islam
in various cultural contexts, including Japan, Brazil and Northern Thailand.
My research is necessarily comparative, an approach that is in line with that of
the classical exponents of my discipline, including Max Weber, Emile Durkheim,
Mary Douglas and Clifford Geertz. I have focused on the dynamics of the
interaction between religions in several cultural contexts including Europe,
Africa, Asia and Latin America. The leitmotifs running throughout my research
have been identity, 'syncretism', healing, and millenarianism

making Corporate Social Responsibility a reality in Malaysia. In the international

392

scene, his effort in promoting CSR practice has been recognized by the United
Nations of which many of his articles were featured in the Academic Council on
the United Nations System (Canada) memorandum, Spring 2007 and other
international publications. One of his articles entitle ‘Enhancing Teaching and
Learning’ was published by Symbiosis Magazine, Technology Park of Malaysia
and used to be interviewed by the Star papers in Malaysia and other reputable

In view of his international reputation and exposure, his proposal to create the
first kind of CSR awards called Ansted Social Responsibility International Award
(ASRIA) to recognize those Corporations, NGOs and individuals around the
world was approved and supported by the Ansted University Foundation Board
of Trustees on 10th March 2004. An announcement was made on 29th May 2004
in Malaysia to invite nominations. The following companies have been receiving
ASRIA Awards were North Port Berhad, Ire-Tex Corporation Berhad, Advance
Micro Devices (AMD, Penang), NEC (Japan), MUCOS (Czech Republic), GAIA

ASRIA is a BRAND and ENDORSEMENT for CSR practicing Companies,

held in Shanghai, China which was organized by Global Leaders Institute invited
ASRIA to endorse this important Congress. The Award in recognizing
responsible Corporate, Institutions, NGOs and individuals working together in
collaboration with all countries around the world on six continents for
Promoting World Peace by Cultivating Social Responsibility Practice is one of the
keys to our universal mission. The ASRIA Awards Ceremony dramatizes each
recipient’s social contribution, spirit and career. It also provides a stage for the
honorees to challenge and inspire young and old people to be responsible in
their walks of life.
'We have the scientific knowledge to solve our major world challenges. We have
the technological know-how to solve our problems. We have biological,
psychological, and sociological knowledge to educate and transform human

393

beings. We have organizational knowledge to design institutions that could
support the transformation towards a sustainable world. But what we need is to
have new hearts and a new VISION as well as cultivating Social Responsibility
practice both at local and international levels. Who says that one person or an
organisation can’t have an effect in this world? We all have an effect, and if your
effect is an inspired one, then it will inspire countless others around the world.'
This is what Prof. Dr. Roger Haw has advised the United Nations through the
Academic Council on the United Nations System. It gives a new direction and
perspective for the entire United Nations NGOs systems to practice and seriously
look into social responsibility wide perspectives for the benefit of world citizen
in this new millennium.
The statement “TOGETHER WE PROMOTE A BETTER WORLD
ENVIRONMENT TO LIVE IN. NOT ONLY MANKIND NEEDS MUCH CARE
BUT THE EARTH EVEN NEEDS A GREATER CARE FROM HUMAN
