Malaysia ranked 9th among the countries with the most active social media users worldwide, which comprise 80% of its total population. The extensive use of social media platforms eventually leads to ethical and moral violations in the form of cyberbullying. This activity is becoming more prevalent among netizens by making fun of an individual as a joke to attract attention and fun on social media. The government established the Communications and Multimedia Act of 1998 to monitor misdemeanors in the digital world, mainly social media. This study aims to analyze the duration of time spent on the internet as a factor in cyberbullying. The study quantitatively used a survey design. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 436 respondents in Melaka and later analyzed through SPSS software. The findings of the study reveal a significant difference in the mean score of the effect of cyberbullying based on the time spent surfing the internet ((f = 8.857); (p <0.05) for each category.
Malaysia merupakan negara ke-9 yang mencatatkan penggunaan media sosial paling aktif di dunia iaitu hampir 80% daripada keseluruhan rakyatnya. Penggunaan secara meluas ini mendedahkan setiap individu kepada pelanggaran etika dan moral yang akhirnya boleh membawa kepada jenayah buli siber. Amalan al-sukhriyyah atau persendaan merupakan salah satu bentuk gejala buli siber yang semakin berleluasa. Perbuatan ini semakin menjadi budaya dalam kalangan netizen dengan menjadikan seseorang individu sebagai bahan sendaan dan gurauan bertujuan meraih perhatian dan keseronokan di media sosial. Oleh itu, pihak kerajaan telah memperkenalkan Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 bagi memantau kesalahan-kesalahan yang wujud di media sosial terutamanya membabitkan medium siber. Kajian ini bertujuan mengenalpasti bentuk-bentuk al-sukhriyyah yang wujud dalam media sosial masa kini serta menganalisis kedudukan perbuatan ini menurut perspektif hukum Islam. Kajian dijalankan secara kualitatif menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan dengan menganalisis teks-teks al-Quran dan Hadis serta perbahasan para sarjana Muslim berkaitan pengamalan al-sukhriyyah. Selain itu, kaedah analisis kandungan juga dilakukan terhadap beberapa media sosial bagi meneliti pengamalan al-sukhriyyah yang wujud pada masa kini. Perbuatan al-sukhriyyah meskipun mendatangkan keseronokan dan hiburan kepada para pelakunya namun merupakan perbuatan yang dilarang oleh Islam tanpa mengambil kira latar belakang mangsa. Pengguna media sosial perlu mengutamakan adab dan etika yang baik dalam komunikasi yang berlaku bagi mengekalkan keharmonian sesama mereka.

This study is a descriptive studyconducted to overcome the issue of financial inclusion on the affected individuals by the pandemic using Islamic approach that is free from riba in order to maximize the assistance that can be provided by the non-profit microfinance institutions (NMIs). Using the method of content analysis, the study found that there are three Islamic financing instruments suitable for financial inclusion during the pandemic which are Islamic microfinance, waqf and zakat. This study suggested these three Islamic financing instruments to be integrated with three financing methods that have been constructed which are full support financing, similar-build operate transfer (BOT) and similar-franchising. It is suggested for further research on the mechanism of each suggested financing methods. The approach of financial inclusion based on Islamic instruments is not for the purpose of profit, but rather to assist the affected individuals in becoming entrepreneurs and enables them to generate their own revenue for their own subsistence, thereby reducing the reliance on ongoing financial assistance by government. Simultaneously, financial inclusion for pandemic-affected

Further field research is proposed to obtain more authentic data related to the violation of cyber crime among digital platform's user.
