The study examined the level of technostress of teachers in secondary schools in Malaysia. The COVID-19 pandemic altered human life patterns, and the Movement Control Order restricted most community activities. Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, the Ministry of Education had exposed teachers to online learning and encouraged them to use it. This study focused on five sub-variables of technostress, that is orientation towards the learning-teaching process, profession, technical issues, individual and social orientation. A total of 1,185 teachers from 13 states were selected as a study sample using a stratified sampling technique. Items for each variable were constructed, based on literature related to technostress and expert validation. Findings show that teachers’ technostress levels are high (M=3.670, SD=4.30), and the results of the t-test analysis show that there were no significant differences in technostress of secondary school teachers in Malaysia in terms of gender (t (1185)=1.762, p>0.05) and location (t (1185)=1.962, p>0.05). Understanding technostress and how technology affects individuals may help to reduce the potential physical and psychological harm that could be caused by technostress.

In Malaysia, the use of new media in the political sphere is increasing especially after the tenth General Election. In terms of age group, youths are the highest group using this new media. However, how do these youths use the new media for political purposes? Therefore, this article aims to analyse the use of new media for political activities among youth in Selangor. In particular, this article examines political activity through new media, the level of media consumption for political activity, and the relationship between demographic factors and the use of new media for political activity. Using the survey as a method of data collection, 200 respondents aged between 18-40 years were randomly selected in Selangor to answer the questionnaire.

In general, the study has found that the respondents used online newspapers to obtain news and political information. Further analysis has found that the Malay youths in Selangor had the highest use of new media and there is a significant relationship between the use of new media and residential areas. This article describes the impact of the use of new media on political participation, in which youths are involved in political activities through new forms. This article also suggests that more research need to be done in the future on the role that new media plays in Malaysian politics as a whole.

Perkara 3 Deklarasi mengenai Hak Orang Asal (DHOA) mengiktiraf hak penentuan kendiri orang asal yang turut merangkumi aspek ekonomi. Sungguhpun begitu, terdapat kajian yang mencukupi bahawa Orang Asli masih dibelenggu dengan isu ekonomi, dihimpit kemiskinan, ketiadaan pengiktirafan hak tanah Orang Asli dan terpinggir dari pembangunan arus perdana. Antara faktornya ialah kelompangan undang-undang dalam Akta Orang Asli 1954 (AOA) dan polisi pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli sedia ada tidak sepadan dengan keperluan mereka. Oleh yang demikian, objektif utama artikel ini ialah untuk menerangkan isu berkaitan pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli dan hak ekonomi orang asal di bawah DHOA seterusnya menganalisis pembangunan ekonomi masyarakat Maori di New Zealand dengan merujuk kepada piawaian di bawah DHOA dan undang-undang antarabangsa dengan menggunakan metodologi sosio-perundangan dan menganalisis data secara kualitatif. Artikel ini mendedahkan bahawa kedudukan pengiktirafan hak ekonomi Maori adalah lebih baik dan maju berbanding Orang Asli. Justeru, artikel ini mengemukakan tiga perkara yang wajar dipelajari daripada pengiktirafan hak ekonomi Maori seterusnya mengemukakan empat cadangan dari segi perundangan untuk penambahbaikan pembangunan ekonomi Orang Asli seperti cadangan pindaan AOA, memperkasakan peranan JAKOA dan institusi berkaitan Orang Asli, mengiktiraf nilai, adat dan budaya serta aktiviti ekonomi Orang Asli. Kesimpulannya, artikel ini dapat memberi sumbangan dan impak yang fundamental ke arah pembangunan lestari Orang Asli, seterusnya membantu Malaysia menunaikan obligasi undang-undang antarabangsa.
