This article discusses social issues that occurred in Kedah through an examination of the collection of letters of Sultan Abdul Humid (SMSAH) which are related to robberies, theft, homicide, injury inflictineizt on individuals, female abductions and the involvement of high-ranking management officers in crime. These criminal activities had a negative influence on the socioeconomic development and political stability in Kedah. These social issues had drawn the attention of Kedah's goverment under the leadership of Sultan Abdul Humid with the aid of his local officials who later took several steps to reduce the crime rate by enforcing laws, cooperating with the British as well as the Siamese and the formation of a police force. Based on the collection of letters of Sultan Abdul Hamid and some Kedah Annual Report, this study shows that social issues were a serious concern in Kedah during the reign of Sultan Abdul Humid.

By radicalising educational institutions, this study would like to see an overview of the development of radicalism ideology in educational institutions, as well as the response of teachers in forums across Religious Secondary Schools (SMA) and National Secondary Schools (SMK) in East Java. Sekolah Menengah Al-Azhar Menganti Gresik, one of the educational institutions based on the pesantren system, has held a programme to restore religious moderation as a solution to radicalism. The emergence of the aforementioned programme has piqued the interest of researchers in conducting an objective analysis of school strategies for promoting religious moderation among students. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study approach at SMA Al-Azhar Menganti Gresik, as well as data collection techniques such as observations, interviews, and documentation. Miles and Hubarman analysis was used to perform objective analysis. Objectively, the study’s findings indicate that the process of reviving religious moderation requires strong support from educational stakeholders in private schools, specifically foundations. The importance of the top-down model in implementing rehabilitation programmes on religious moderation, as Giddens and Singh explain, determines the success of educational institutions in combating the radicalism movement. Keywords: Religious Modesty; Radicalism Ideology; Experience of SMA Al-Azhar Menganti
