Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and Selamat Sejahtera.

2022 marks the 10th year of the prestigious Fully Residential Schools International Symposium (FRSIS), and I personally
would like to extend my heartiest congratulations and great appreciation to Fully Residential Schools Management Division and
the hosting school, Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak,Seremban for its successful organisation of this event. As the whole world is
recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to inculcate positivity and forethoughtfulness in all of us, especially the
young generation, in order to move forward and thrive. In line with the current state of affairs, the theme that has been chosen for
this year’s symposium is FROM PANDEMIC TO ENDEMIC.

Education has to start at the earliest possible ages, and this symposium perfectly serves as a robust platform for great
young minds from various parts of Malaysia and the world to convene and form a professional learning community to further
research, discuss and share opinions on pressing global issues, with tact and respect. Apart from that, the symposium allows us
to foster a learning culture among the young generations and helps set the foundation for development of practical and applicable
skills, which will benefit them in their future endeavours.

My deepest gratitude to our fellow staff members for their initiatives and commitment in making this event possible, while
upholding the academic and moral values of Fully Residential Schools. To Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak, FRSIS would not be a
success without the dedication and hard work of your committee members. Hosting an international event of this scale is a
Herculean task, so I salute every single individual who is involved, in one way or another, to make this event a great success.
Finally, to all the teachers and presenters, a heartfelt congratulations on your great contribution of ideas through the sharing and
research findings.

All in all, it is my greatest hope that this 10th Fully Residential Schools International Symposium with the theme FROM
PANDEMIC TO ENDEMIC, will attain its objectives in bringing together participants from all the Fully Residential Schools in the
country and their counterparts abroad in an academic discourse, making it a rewarding and meaningful experience for everyone. I
wish you all good luck and much success.

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and Selamat Sejahtera.

It is my great honour to announce that this is our 10th edition of Fully Residential Schools International Symposium
(FRSIS). Being one of the most awaited annual events for students and teachers, FRSIS has played a significant role in
fulfilling the objective of Fully Residential Schools in moulding and grooming our leaders of tomorrow. It has been our
goal to produce leaders with a towering personality, equipped with the appropriate skills and knowledge to survive and
prosper in the ever changing landscape of the 21st century.

Over the years, participants have had the opportunity to hold discussions pertaining to real world issues, ranging
from tourism and education to technology and environmental concerns. This year, we are focusing on the challenges
faced and the efforts taken to recover from the devastating impacts of Covid-19. Thus, the theme for FRSIS 2022 is FROM
PANDEMIC TO ENDEMIC.

Undeniably, the success of this event relies heavily on the persistent commitment, unwavering dedication and
unbridled enthusiasm from all parties. Therefore, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to
everyone involved. Special thanks to the staff members at the Fully Residential Schools Division, FRSIS Master Trainers
(Jurulatih Utama) and above all, all the committee members of the hosting school, Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak for taking
up the challenge to organise this meaningful event.

It is my greatest hope that this year’s symposium will achieve its objectives of bringing together all these young
great minds to further discuss and exercise their problem solving skills to attend to the theme’s diverse issues. I am
sincerely hopeful that after the symposium, the participants will continue to remain inquisitive and passionate about
understanding issues that define us as human beings, and play their role as members of society by being responsible,
contributive and resourceful.

Thank you.

MOHD NOOR HAKIM BIN ISMAIL

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious and the Most Merciful
Greetings to all.

With immense pleasure, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all teachers and students attending the 10th
edition of Fully Residential Schools International Symposium (FRSIS). Being one of the most awaited annual events for
fully residential schools, we feel proud and honoured to be given this golden opportunity to host the symposium in
person after holding it virtually last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This year’s theme, FROM PANDEMIC TO ENDEMIC is reflective of the challenges and efforts employed in
recovering from the pandemic. Thus, students are expected to delve deep into the issues and generate resolutions that
work best, while honing their research and communication skills in bringing these critical subjects to the world’s
attention. Realistically, we may not be able to change the world, but we are hoping that this small step will set in motion
the growth of wholesome individuals who are more empathetic, responsible and proactive to effect change in society.

I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to the Fully Residential Schools Management Division, Ministry of
Education for entrusting us as the hosting school to organise this meaningful event. Hopefully everyone will have a
pleasant stay on our campus and gain as much as possible from this symposium through the exchange of ideas and
sharing of knowledge. Beyond the presentations and awards, it is hoped that participants will also treasure the
experiences and friendships formed during their stay here in Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak.

Best of luck and thank you.

History of FRSIS

The Fully Residential Schools International Symposium (FRSIS) was initiated in 2011 and was
organised by the Ministry of Education Malaysia under the Fully Residential Schools Management
Division in partnership with the National Commission for UNESCO Malaysia. The organisation of this
program at an international level is in tandem with the vision of the Fully Residential School of
creating “World Class Leaders” for the 70 fully residential schools in Malaysia.

The involvement of fully residential school students in this international programme has enabled
them to interact and think globally whilst applying the knowledge gained in accordance to the norms
of the host country.

This programme will also bring about positive impacts in honing leadership qualities among
students to organize programme at the international level, through their involvement in the work
committee, as the foundation that ensures the smooth success of this programme. Over the years,
FRSIS has received participation from countries such as Japan, The Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam,
UAE, Iran, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, India and Turkey. This symposium has given a

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 is an infectious and highly contagious disease which dates back to December 2019 in
Wuhan, China. The virus indeed had a huge impact on the whole world, causing most countries,
including Malaysia to be in a state of lockdown. During this period, many have lost their jobs as
Covid-19 pandemic leads to huge reduction in working hours and business opportunities. Hence,
mixed-method research was carried out to identify students’ perception on how people adapt to the
new environment and ways of working post COVID-19. A questionnaire which consists of 11
questions was distributed via Google Form to 117 secondary school students in Malaysia to collect the
quantitative data by using a 5-likert scale. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted
with 25 students to obtain insights on their perspective regarding perceptions and expectations of
secondary schools’ students about their future career. The data collected indicated that 42% of
secondary school students claimed that fixed working hours are still relevant despite Covid-19
pandemic. On the other hand, 33.3% of the students agreed that COVID-19 had affected their
ambitions. Besides, about 40.2% of students have considered changing their ambition 1 to 2 times
throughout the pandemic. By identifying the career perceptions and expectations of secondary school
students in Malaysia, it provides insights and reference for education authorities and schools to take in
consideration while planning the curriculum in order to prepare the students with the skills needed so
they can adapt to the changes of the working environment in the endemic phase.

ABSTRACT

Covid-19 pandemic has stirred unprecedented repercussions on education, namely student’s motivation
and academic performance. However, the subside of the Covid-19 pandemic has given the opportunity
for students to reconnect with physical learning after a long haul of online education. Thus, this
research aims to uncover the impact of Covid-19 on students’ motivation and how the present
motivation has affected their learning performance along with the ways to overcome this quandary. In
order to come out with a reliable result, a quantitative research method was conducted. 221 students of
SMSAH had participated in a 38-item survey vis-a-vis their post-pandemic motivation and academic
performance. Based on the results of the survey, it is found that the level of motivation among students
is slightly moderate. Through inferential data analysis, a significant correlation between motivation and
learning performance (r=0.469) is also detected. Several suggestions were issued to the students on
possible means to boost their motivation in school. As per result, 94.6% of respondents wishes for
more school field trips and 92.8% requests for more ‘me time’. 91.9% is looking forward to use of
gadgets in classes as many have certain degree of computer and apps mastery during Covid 19
adversity. From this study, the school needs to look into the issue of students’ lack of motivation more
seriously because indubitably, motivation navigates students’ drive for academic success.

Key words: motivation, learning performance

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 has forced us to undergo an unpleasant environment during the movement control order
(MCO) or lockdown. From an educational perspective, all schools have been forced to shut down and
closed due to the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The alternative way of sustaining the lessons is
only by conducting online classes. Although it seems like it is the best option that we got, it has a lot of
disadvantages. The drawbacks of these online classes are connection problems and ignorant students.
These disadvantages have created educational gaps among the students, especially those in the
secondary schools in Malaysia. The transition from pandemic to endemic has resulted in schools to
reopen. During the school's reopening, it has shown numerous effects towards the students especially in
academics. The purpose of this research is to explain what are the educational gaps and also the effects
towards the students during schools reopening. In order to have a solid background of this research, an
extensive amount of reading, past research, current updates and also surveys have been conducted
among secondary school students that come from all over the country. The research that has been

ABSTRACT

During the global health crisis era, a covid-19 outbreak afflicted the whole society and led to immense
impacts on children’s education. Due to the pandemic, almost all children worldwide have experienced
a drastic change in their lives where education is limited. The closure of schools and education centres
has stopped the learning process due to movement control order. Although the Ministry of Education
has promoted a virtual learning system through internet access. Still, many of them are neglected. The
main culprit of this problem is a digital gap among them where children from poverty-stricken families
cannot afford to buy even an internet broadband to enrol in this virtual class. This research objective is
to countermeasure the aforementioned digital gap by promoting the 5G Ultra Wide Band to enhance
the current internet broadband coverage. The Minister of Education should play a big role by providing
this proposed methodology. The installation of 5G Ultra Wide Band antennas at every school
especially in rural areas should be included in Malaysia's future education plan. The world has come to
an endemic era and children can attend school as usual. They are able to use the school facilities to
access the internet for education purposes. At this moment, there is no more educational denial and
each child is at equal privilege in the learning process. Every child can utilise internet access at school
without acquiring a computer or internet subscription on their own. Therefore, the education process
resumed smoothly.

ABSTRACT

The covid-19 pandemic disrupts many important areas including education. The rapid increase in the
number of cases lead to school closure around the world, Malaysia included. The online platform is
becoming a major stream in education in keeping an ongoing learning process and adhering to the
social distancing procedures. However, digital education cause students to interact less with their
classmates and affect their emotions and attitudes toward education and school attendance. Hence, the
objective of this study is to assess students’ attitudes and emotions toward school attendance and
learning after the pandemic. Achievement Emotions Questionnaire was adapted and distributed to 150
form 4 students in SM Sains Kubang Pasu. The data were then analysed using the Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings indicate that students' emotions towards attending and
learning in school after the pandemic are positive, indicating an enthusiastic attitude towards learning.
The findings also suggest an improvement in learning opportunities and strategies involving the
students’ circles of friends and families.

ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic had a substantial negative influence on the tourism industry as it influenced a
country’s economy, way of life, public services, and opportunities. Unquestionably, the pandemic had
affected the financial health of Malaysian tourism businesses as due to implementations of multiple
lockdowns, restrictions and closure of international borders. In 2022, the reopening of international
borders on 1 April is believed to be able to offer affected travel agencies business owners a new
glimpse of hope. This is a descriptive study which aims to identify the challenges faced by different
travel agencies in Changlun, Kedah as well as their strategies in adapting and moving forward in
today’s endemic world. Interviews were carried out with different travel agencies in Changlun, Kedah
in order to gain some insights into the issue and results then examined using thematic analysis method
in order to pinpoint emerging issues and themes.

ABSTRACT

According to the Oxford dictionary, vaccines are defined as chemicals that are injected into the blood
to guard against sickness. Thus, it is undeniable that vaccines should be recognised as a human right.
However, despite the effort done globally, as of June 2020, only 58 of the World Health Organization
(WHO’s), 194 members stated had reached 70% of their target for vaccination rate of Covid-19.
Although some part of it is due to vaccine hesitancy which is defined as a “delay in acceptance or
refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccination services” by The World Health Organization
among the population, there is also the factor of unequal access to vaccines in a less developed nation.
A big aspect contributing to this issue is that high-income countries hoarded nearly 70% of doses
available globally resulting in less developed countries fighting over the 30% of the vaccine. Another
issue from an economical perspective is the different nationalistic trade policies, differences in the
regulatory framework, and procedures that have impended the production and delivery of vaccines
globally. As a result, the differences in the trade policies of developed and developing countries have
contributed to the unequal distribution of vaccines, negatively affecting global vaccine equity. Despite
the challenges listed, there are still possible solutions to overcome them. For example, the developed
countries should cooperate together to boost vaccine production and streamline the delivery of
vaccines to less developed countries to balance the unequal economic power in terms of distributing
resources to achieve vaccine equity.

ABSTRACT

In this day and age, we have been affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic. Malaysia’s economy
has experienced decadence as the school, tourist attractions and even the factories are being shut
down. The Covid-19 has left a big footprint, affecting every individual’s health and antibodies
differently ever since it started spreading in Malaysia. Needless to say, the government has played a
vital role to prevent further transmission of this deadly virus. People will be wondering about the
government providence in the endemic era. In fact, it is undeniable that the government has done a
great job on preventing the spread of Covid-19 by introducing vaccines and boosters to strengthen our
antibodies. The highlighted purpose of this research is to investigate the use of vaccines and boosters
on how it does help us to increase the antibody strength to fight Covid-19 among citizens and
students. Numerous studies have shown that the vaccination is given by injecting the liquid at the
deltoid muscle of the arm. The deltoid muscle is the site most typically used for vaccines. For most
people, the primary series include two-doses for mRNA Pfizer, Moderna, and one dose for Johnson &
Johnson. After getting vaccinated, there are several side effects that can vary from person to person
but they will go away in a few days while some may experience discomfort depending on one's
antibody. In short, our government made a wise move by requiring vaccinations of its citizens,
particularly those enrolling in school.

ABSTRACT

A sustainable career is aligned with interests, strengths, and values, which offers ongoing learning and
renewal. Ultimately, building a sustainable career will give people the ability to maintain several
aspects of their career and life over the long-term. People don’t need to push aside their other
passions, to build a green career. The emergence of a new career path means the existence of new job
opportunities, specifically during the pandemic era. This is because the pandemic has been an
unprecedented shock to the labour market, creating the needs for new jobs and new skills
immediately. COVID-19 has created a paradigm shift in how we think about work and how businesses
protect their employees and customers. So, in relating the two phrases above with Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), our main objective is to ensure career success in
the technological era in order to create new job opportunities and study how technology can affect
development, sociocultural and socioeconomic in the society. To achieve this objective, we conducted
a survey to see how far people are concerned and adapted with technology in their career, especially
during and after a pandemic. Then, analyse and evaluate existing solutions and find better alternatives
for the current and the next generation to prepare them for their future career. In conclusion, in order
to have a sustainable career along with creating new job opportunities, it’s a must for everyone to play
their roles in society.

ABSTRACT

Ever since the Cenozoic era, humans have been constantly adapting and evolving in order to survive
when faced with numerous climates and challenges. In 2019, COVID-19 took the world by surprise
and sent us into a global pandemic. Many companies were shut down, careers were lost, and people
were left penniless. Yet even through tough times, some careers managed to persevere, and new
careers emerged as well. Now that we are endemic, those careers that have made it through have
become stronger than ever. Thus, our research aims to investigate how people integrate into a new
workplace environment and how it can help to sustain careers as well as how it can simultaneously
create new career paths. Subsequently, we will learn what challenges are faced during the pandemic
and follow up with our solutions to those problems. Moving on, we will compare the difference
between workplace environments pre-pandemic and post-pandemic as well as how it has benefited
workers in Malaysia. For this research, online research and observations as well as surveys and
interviews were conducted to achieve all the objectives we have listed above. It appears to be that
career paths in Malaysia are starting to digitize after the pandemic in accordance with the rise of 5G
and IoT. Overall, the evolution of career paths has undoubtedly benefited many workers in Malaysia
and around the world.

ABSTRACT

Transitioning from pandemic to endemic has allowed the government to stop the Movement Control
Order and loosen the Standard Operating Procedures. In light of this, the community has slowly
returned to engage in social gatherings and other activities related to the communities. Generally, this
increases the utilization of public spaces. Therefore, these activities may accelerate the possibility for
Covid-19 spread if improper social interactions are practiced alongside impoverished social areas.
This may impact on the trend of Covid-19 cases as it remains to increase despite being in the endemic
state. This study aims to investigate the issues regarding closed and open areas, the government's
efforts in sustaining efficient infrastructure and better facilities as well as asserting the society’s needs
in utilizing public spaces in Perak, Malaysia. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are
carried out to garner information relating to this study. As such, interviews are conducted to gain
professionals’ views and more than 50 participants have answered surveys regarding this issue .This
study proposed that it is proven the government has done numerous efforts in ensuring public spaces
that are hygienic, accessible and safe to people by instructing regulations such as SOPs and enhancing
the public structures. With this in mind, it is vital to focus on securing safe, available and aseptic
conditions from Covid-19 in public spaces to revamp a better life experience and to forge ahead the
country in this near normality era.

ABSTRACT

The economic statistics of the whole world were showing excellent progress and the economy was
getting ready to expand their horizons. However, there came a global crisis that has dampened the
development of countries which was the Covid-19 outbreak. With the pandemic, came its many issues
and challenges that we needed to solve. One of the biggest challenges that countries faced was how
can countries save their damaged economy. To put it into simpler terms, the economy needs a steady
supply of money, goods, services and the human resources that make it flow is essential to a healthy
economy. Unfortunately, the severance of said flow is the main factor to the issue in which we are
currently facing. The severance was caused by factors such as unemployment and inflation which
makes it close to impossible for our economy to be as it was three years ago. That is why we have
researched and brainstormed on how we can recover and advance our economy. Surprisingly, the
pandemic actually helped us by encouraging us to create, innovate and renovate our country to face it.
For example, innovations like new types of vaccines that allow countries to hasten their recovery from
the crisis are what allows them to make progress towards the betterment of the future. Our research
made us realize that in the process of changing from pandemic to endemic, we could not only save our
economy but also make it greater by capitalizing on the opportunities given by the pandemic.

ABSTRACT

Ever since Covid-19 outbreak, the whole world has experienced economical, social and political
upheavel in which many countries have yet to recover from. In Malaysia, the transitional period from
pandemic to endemic has already taken place on April 1st 2022. In preparation to shift phase, the
government has levelled up its measures to support human cost and economy discruption by coming
out with a well-planned path to recovery. This qualitative research study was conducted to evaluate
the significant impacts of the government’s aids and funds towards the community; how it affects
them socially and economically. Five subjects from different socio-economic background were chosen
to participate in this research in order to ensure the validity of the study. In-depths interviews were
carried out which allowed the researchers to discuss issues faced by the subjects as well as to give
them voice to be heard. The study found specific information regarding types of government funds or
aids received by these members of the local society as well as how the funds leave impacts on them
economically and socially. Based on the summary of the research findings, the researchers also were

ABSTRACT

During the pandemic, the number of poverty has increased globally from 5.6% in 2019 to 8.4% in
2020. The government’s commitment is to play their role in order to reduce the poverty rate by giving
financial aid and constructing a plan to boost the economy. In Malaysia, Program Strategik
Memperkasa Rakyat dan Ekonomi (PEMERKASA) and National Recovery Plan are the strategic plan
conducted by the government to ensure citizens have their finances recovered. Our study is aimed to
identify the effectiveness of these government’s initiatives in helping those who are affected by the
pandemic, especially disabled people and the elderly. In order to identify the effectiveness of the
government’s initiative to diminish the increasing poverty rate due to the pandemic, a survey was
conducted among the residents of SM Sains Tapah. Their degree of awareness of the government’s
initiative could more or less determine whether the government has done enough to reduce poverty. A
total of 54 respondents were surveyed by using questionnaires. Based on the survey, the results
showed that the majority of the respondents, especially students, are less aware of the government’s
initiative to reduce poverty. However, teachers and parents prove otherwise. They think that the
government has been a great help in providing financial aid to those who are affected by the
pandemic. The implications of the results proved that the nation is on the right track towards reducing
poverty.

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 has been causing severe damage to Malaysia, mainly in terms of the economy due to the
introduction of the Movement Control Order (MCO) by the government that sets limitations on daily
movement. Poverty in Malaysia is very low and continues to decrease, with only 0.4% of Malaysian
households living below the national poverty line in 2015. Using the WGB’s Upper Middle Income
Wall poverty line, poverty declined from 16.7% to 2.7% of the population from 2008 to 2015. Having
revised its national poverty line in July 2020, 5.6% of Malaysian households are currently living in
absolute poverty. So, this research will focus on a few topics which are determining which
communities were affected the most and the initiative taken by people to help them recover. In this
research, we have chosen qualitative research for research design. We will be looking for factors that
have made the rate of poverty in Malaysia increase and solutions to overcome the issues as well. We
have created a survey form via Google form to analyze the economic status of different people with
different jobs and how they survived after the pandemic phase. Through our reading, we noted that
people that choose government-based jobs are having much more stable economic status compared to
those who run businesses on their own and those who work in private sectors. This research paper
helps to determine whether the choices of jobs affected the livelihood of Malaysian people in
surviving this pandemic phase realistic approach that can help Malaysian people to survive this
pandemic phase which can make the no poverty theme a success.

ABSTRACT

Recently, the whole world has suffered from a pandemic that has left not a single country
unaffected. This is where vaccine equity comes into play. To define vaccine equity, it is an equitable
distribution of vaccines to the whole world’s population. Vaccine equity is important to ensure that
vaccines are distributed fairly to all populations, and that people of all regions, means and
backgrounds are able to access them. Disparity in economic resources causes the playing field to not
be levelled in regards to acquiring the vaccine doses. This is why allocation of vaccines should not be
based on a country's purchasing power. Rich nations such as the US and Canada carry out “vaccine
hoarding”, securing enough doses to vaccinate their populations several times over. Meanwhile, low
income countries struggle to secure enough doses for even their most at-risk individuals, such as
healthcare workers and front liners. There are a few ways to ensure that vaccine equity is carried out.
Firstly, we should have companies such as “AstraZeneca” and “Johnson & Johnson” that pledge to
provide their vaccine doses on a not-for-profit basis. This would help lessen the burden of lower
income countries as fewer than 20 percent of people have received at least one dose of a vaccine as of
August 2022. This compares to 80 percent in high income countries. Furthermore, more organisations
such as “COVAX” that work to secure 2 billion vaccine doses by the end of 2022 to be distributed to
low income countries should be formed.

ABSTRACT

It was then when lockdowns and quarantines were imposed upon the world that a dark history was
engraved, during which the world economy faced the full brunt of the pandemic. Reduction of
economic activity led to the decline of revenue—coupled with inflation—causes the increase of
various societal problems. Mankind, collectively decided to delve into a new era of digitalization as a
mean of curbing the declining economy. From online shopping to food delivery services, many of the
existing economic sector were integrated into the digital world. Our group aims to probe into the exact
details of the effects and necessity the digitalization of the economic sector has on the revival of the
declining economy of Malaysia and the improvements that can be made to secure a place for the
digitalized economy sector in the future. Our focus will mostly be on how the modernization of the
economic sector impacted the nation’s economic recovery and its vital role in it, furthermore,
appliable enhancements to patch up some of its major flaws. The analysis of this sub-theme will be
using personally supervised surveys and information from trusted sources to base our research on.
Additionally, we will try to come up with possible tweaks that may be implemented.

ABSTRACT

For decades, travelling has brought a lot of benefits not only towards individuals, but also the
country’s economy. This is especially true for Malaysia, whose tourism is an industry and source of
income. Unfortunately, the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 led to the disruption of the tourism
industry. National lockdowns and border controls, a necessity to overcome the global pandemic
resulted in significant reduction of tourists. The tourism industry experienced decrease in income and
loss of jobs. When the lockdowns ended in 2021, it was time for Malaysia’s tourism industry to
recover and revitalize. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the tourism activities among
Malaysians before and after the COVID-19 outbreak in order to see its impact. Moreover, this study
also focuses on restoring the tourism industry which will directly repair the economy. The
methodology was creating a survey distributed among the tourism industry workers and ordinary
citizens to determine the reasons and benefits of travelling and whether it has changed after the
pandemic. Some literature reviews were also done. To conclude, based on our findings, it is found that
post-pandemic, the majority of people has resumed travelling and Malaysia’s tourism industry, surely
and steadily is finally on its way to be restored and not only that, advanced measures can be taken to
bring the tourism industry one step ahead.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate the scepticism surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine and
ways to solve issues of vaccine acceptance. In an effort to help eliminate the stigmas surrounding
vaccines and to encourage widespread vaccine equity, various types of research have been conducted
for the sake of informing the current inefficient distribution methods used by several countries so that
they can be remodelled and corrected. For instance, the extra funding by the world bank to train staff
due to the limited number of distributors but an abundant of vaccines with a short expiry period.
However, all of this is for naught if the people themselves are unable to welcome these inoculations
because of false beliefs garnered through misinformation which is spread online like a viral outbreak
through the digital realm. We used the qualitive method for our data inquiry and as the base of our
research; using secondary data analysis and synthesis of relevant literature to determine the exact
factors of vaccines scepticism. After researching, suggestions to address the issue of scepticism
surrounding the distribution and promote the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines was narrowed down
and linked to four reasons to fully eradicate the scepticisms, which is for self-protection, protecting
others, maintaining health and sustaining the economy. In summary, it is believed that vaccine
acceptance is paramount to ensure that societies around the globe will be well protected and
economies sustained.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to perform a review of the challenges being faced by the global tourism industry in
the wake of Covid-19. The research questions for our study are, what are the impacts of Covid-19 on
the tourism industry and what are the measures being adopted in order to enable market players and
governments worldwide to cope with the challenges emerging for the global tourism industry from the
outbreak of the pandemic. A total of more than 10 papers found on the web and are rigorously
reviewed by us to synthesize our findings. Our results reveal that the pandemic has created severe
roadblocks for the tourism industry, and the way ahead seems to be rocky. We learn that this challenge
may open the doors for local tourism, eco-tourism and sustainable tourism, which have long been part
of the discussion but have failed to take any tangible shape so far. The findings also propose a
resilience-based framework which outlines four prominent factors for building resilience in tourism
industry: government response, technology innovation, local belongingness, and consumer and
employee confidence. By using such inclusive resilience; the tourism industry may transform into a
new global economic order characterized by sustainable tourism, society’s well- being, climate action,
and the involvement of local communities.

ABSTRACT

As countries around the globe are trying to find a cure for the pandemic, unemployment is at an all-
time high. The current COVID-19 pandemic is leading to significant changes in terms of people's
economic behavior, which will inevitably impact the exponential increase of unemployment in
Malaysia. In general, the increment in the unemployment rate in Malaysia is unavoidable and unusual.
Many workers and businesses have been impacted by business closures, mobility restrictions, virus
infections, having their working hours reduced, or having been put on leave with no or partial
payment. These things disproportionately affect all walks of life in Malaysia. The method that has
been done to make this research successful is by gathering a comprehensive review of the most
selected literature from online news portals to extract the current state-of-the-art knowledge and
Cross-sectional survey research. A sum of 147 students and 50 teachers of different age ranges from
Kuala Selangor Science Secondary School have been involved in a survey that was distributed to see
their opinion on job loss. From the survey we conducted, 115 respondents agreed that the pandemic
has caused an escalation of the unemployment rate. Results reveal that the unemployment controversy
has caused many health-related issues such as mental illnesses which include anxiety, depression, and
even worse, suicidal thoughts. Therefore, future research must be done to fully understand how the
pandemic affects, intersects, and extend beyond unemployment itself.
