Business corporations need to realize that in order to achieve their primary objective, they need to consider their responsibility towards society and environment. However, there are still a lot of unethical businesses that ignore their stakeholder’s interest. Therefore, business need to aware that their involvement of CSR practices in certain extent does affect the consumer buying behavior. This paper examines the relationship between CSR practices and consumer buying behavior. Quantitative approach was employed and 241questionnaires were collected and valid to be used. It was found that positive relationship existed between all the CSR practices (economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic) and the consumer buying behavior. However, based on the students in Selangor perspective, the main element of CSR practices that influence the consumer buying behavior is economic. Therefore, business corporations need to strive to maximize their shareholder’s wealth as the consumers expect the corporations to fulfill the shareholder’s interest as they are among those who contribute in providing funds for the businesses survival and growth. Additionally, consumers also expect the business corporations should offer reasonable price and provide a good quality of products and services to them.
Citizenship is a vital human right, especially to children, as other rights such as livelihood, education, healthcare, and employment depend on whether a person is a citizen or otherwise. Citizenship of children born outside of the country is an issue throughout the world, not just in Malaysia. While many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and others, have granted equal rights to children born abroad to mothers or fathers who are citizens of those countries, this is not the case in Malaysia. In conducting the qualitative method, this study referred to online databases for judicial decisions and legislations such as the LexisNexis and CLJ, online newspapers, journal articles, textbooks, conference papers, and published theses and dissertation. International law instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The major findigs of this Article is that Malaysian citizenship law is patriarchal, as children of Malaysian fathers born overseas are entitled to be citizens under the operation of the law. Notably, Malaysian mothers are not entitled to such rights. This article discusses the constitutional provisions on citizenship in Malaysia and the challenges faced by children born overseas to Malaysian mothers with regard to education, healthcare, employment and property ownership. This Article also highlights courts' decisions which show the willingness to recognise gender equality in the citizenship law. This Article employs a qualitative approach by analysing the judicial decisions, statutory provisions and comparative benchmarking with Singapore legal system..This article concludes that the Constitution should be amended to fully recognise the concept of gender equality and acknowledge the right of Malaysian mothers who gave birth overseas to confer citizenship by operation of law on their children. The failure to act fast would lead those children to become stateless. For future research, this study recommends a fieldwork study into the problems faced by children born overseas to Malaysian mothers be conducted to obtain primary data
