The purpose of this paper is to examine the contributing factors towards the intention to become an organ donor. The literature reviews on the main issues about the awareness of public about organ donation. In Malaysia only 420,601 pledgers of organ donation which is equivalent to 1.3 percent of the total population of Malaysia. This figures in not sufficient to meet the demand from patients in the organ waiting list. Literature reported that the level of awareness in Malaysia is still low. Low organ donation rates have been linked to a lack of public awareness and knowledge about organ donation.  In order to get a better insight of what factors that may contribute to the intention of a person to become an organ donor, this paper, based on the past literature propose two factors: Knowledge and attitude as the predictor variables towards intention. The study intends to collect data from the academician in the Universiti Teknologi MARA, Selangor.

Many Malaysian citizens are aware that contributing their organs gives “new life” to the people in need. These little “sacrifices” shows indirectly that Malaysians have high values for their country’s social development. The largest group of ethnicity in Malaysia is Malays. Sadly this ethnic group appears to be the least to sign up as organ donors. In Islam, the allowable of organ donation was not specifically mentioned in the main reference sources which were Quran and Hadith. This is because organ donation was a modern development of medicine in the world. However, many fatwa had been carried out by Muslim scholars. There are many issues contributing to this scenario, among others perceived Islamic prohibition as well as the awareness among muslims themselves. This paper is to grasps insight of these two issues that affect the muslim’s willingness towards organ donation.
