The old mosques in Malacca are the historical monuments or historical remains that are highly valuable to the development and Islamic civilization in Malaysia. The construction of the old mosques in Malacca around the 18th century represents the greatness of Islam in the state. In fact according to historical records, Malacca was once the most prominent center for dissemination of Islam in Southeast Asia that was formerly known as the 'Nusantara'. These old mosques had left behind unique aesthetics values, the result of cultural mixing occurred more than 300 years ago. Descriptive study was carried out in order to appreciate the aesthetics found in these old mosques. The study will focus on three of the oldest mosques in Malacca namely Tengkera Mosque, Kampung Hulu Mosque and Kampung Keling Mosque. Aesthetics appreciation is more towards the architecture, the art of carving/engraving and calligraphy art found in the three mosques.

The predominance of the use of the English language on social media entails its potential usefulness in regard to ESL learning. Amongst all social media platforms, none can boast the ubiquity of TikTok. This application has been, and continues to be, one of the largest and most influential social media platforms, as well as a massive success across a range of fields with the most active users in the world. In the field of education, it has the potential to enhance educational pedagogies. Although TikTok has various features aligned to language learning, TikTok’s application within the education field is still largely unexplored. This scoping review aims to identify the key features of TikTok that can be used to enhance pedagogical strategies in sustaining the teaching of language skills in ESL classrooms. Although studies have been conducted on this subject, they have often lacked clarity and also lacked the possibility of synthesis in regard to the contribution of this platform to language education. Thus, this scoping review is conducted in order to identify the useful TikTok elements that strengthened pedagogical strategies in ESL classrooms. A total of 60 publications with publication dates spanning from 2018 to 2021 were chosen from searches on the EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and ERIC databases in order to illustrate the current state. The outcome of using the identified features of TikTok and key pedagogical TikTok strategies for the purposes of ESL learning were the two themes used to synthesize the data. Findings indicated that video-related features and the duet challenge feature in TikTok have potential in promoting engaging and meaningful learning, in the context of a virtual environment. This potential has enabled the use of major pedagogical strategies, such as digital assignment; active learning; collaborative and team-based learning; experiential learning; and incidental and constructive learning. Although using TikTok is beneficial for the purposes of language learning, the findings of this study also revealed several limitations associated with the platform, such as users’ behavior, poor infrastructure, and an absence of online discussion forums. This review contains suggestions for the purposes of assisting teachers in terms of maximizing their use of TikTok, via overcoming the challenges that were highlighted in previous studies.

This paper reports a study on the perception of the people toward the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics using English. Altogether, 641 respondents obtained randomly from all over Malaysia participated in the study. The respondents, male and female from the age of 20 to 55 were given a set of questionnaire, containing statements on various issues of Science and Mathematics. Each statement is accompanied with five choices of responses in the form of Likert type scale ranging from 1. Strongly disagree, 2. Disagree, 3. Not sure, 4. Agree, and 5. Strongly agree. One of the statement of the questionnaire analysed was "It is easier to learn science and mathematics in English". The raw data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and also ANOVA. The result of the study shows that 45.7% of the respondents rejected the statement, 24.4% accepted the statement and 29.3% were not sure. There is significant difference of means between the respondents with academic background in science compared to respondents with non-science academic background.

Keris has been recognised as a Malay weaponry tool alongside spear (tombak), sword (pedang), dagger (badik), rust (kelewang), kerabit, and many others. Its status as Malay defence tool has been elevated to the highest level in Malay civilisation, rendering it superior to others due to its function, its refined philosophy and high value of aesthetic arts. Keris is not a strange culture in the communities of the Malay Archipelago as it is symbolic to the Malay supremacy and sovereignty since a long time ago. The function of a keris has experienced a lot of changes, from the early creation of the weapon to an amulet, an idolised heritage, an epitome of family ties, a mark of good deeds, a symbol of rank or degree to item of arts and souveniers. It embodies various Malay philosophies and civilisation values. The uniqueness of keris is explained in the physical and non-physical forms by the owner or blacksmith. Frey (2010) states that keris is the most significant epitome of culture for the Malay community. Due to its significance, it also displays the dignity and status of the Malays as a civilised nation. The men will not be out of their homes without a keris, as they would be seen as naked without it. Despite the keris having various looks and styles due to the different locations and borders, ethnic groups, but the core and function remain the same. In general, it is not only a mere weapon or part of the whole ensemble, but it goes beyond that. It is a hallmark of Malay integrity and identity, in which contains various philosophies of Malay civilisation. The writer will discuss the history and background of keris, the parts of a keris, and the philosophy behind the function and role in Malay civilisation in this article.
