Cancer is one the leading causes of death in developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. Awareness and knowledge of the danger of cancer and the need for cancer screening and early detection can reduce the risk of cancer-related deaths. This study examines the level of awareness and knowledge of cancer, cancer risk factors and the need for cancer screening among the general public in the states of Kedah and Perlis. This study also examines the relationship between residential location and education level and the awareness and knowledge of cancer. Findings from 544 respondents from urban, suburban and rural areas in Kedah and Perlis showed that even though a high percentage of the respondents know about cancer, their level of awareness for the need for cancer screening is still low. Education, access to healthcare facilities and socio-cultural factors still influenced the likelihood of the people to go for cancer screening and get cancer treatment. Therefore, health information and communication and cancer screening awareness campaign should be intensified to reach the public especially to the rural population. These efforts and initiatives can increase public access to information about cancer, and cancer screening and treatment facilities among the rural population, and especially those belonging to high-risk groups.

The importance of social capital in both rural and urban communities is an oftenpublished topic. By representing the operation of social capital networks, this paper explores the persistence of informal rotating credit in the livelihoods of low-income, urban households in Penang, Malaysia. It highlights the function of such credit and the ways in which it benefits poor women and their households. This paper suggests that informal credit reduces the probability of being poor, and the returns to household investment in social capital are higher for the poor than for the population at large. The downside of such social capital is also discussed. The paper concludes that informal credit is enhanced in the urban settings due to the increase in income opportunities, especially for women.
