“…In Malaysian construction industry, risk management is not wellpractised due to the lack on risk management knowledge [5]. Thus, it is important to understand risk management knowledge amongst the construction practitioners in order for them to practise the risk management in handling their projects [6].…”

Abstract-Risk plays an important role in the success of construction project. In managing risk, identification of risk factors is very critical. Hence, this study focused on the investigation of risk factors from contractors' perspective as the contractors are key players in the success of a project. The scope of this study was limited to Batu Pahat and Muar districts only. Data were gathered using structured questionnaire survey from contractors registered with Pusat Khidmat Kontraktor (PKK). Investigations on the risk factor involved 25 common risk factors classified in five categories, which were identified through literature works. Statistical methods were used to analyse the data. Results found that the five most important risk factors in construction project are shortage of material, late deliveries of material, insufficient technology, poor quality of workmanship, and cash flow difficulties. These significant factors are from two major categories of construction and finance. The findings of this study would assist contractors in dealing with risks encountered in construction projects.

“…Subsequently, Malaysia is facing an uphill task to accomplish the target of 600,000-800,000 houses during this period because the conventional building system currently being practiced by the construction industry is unable to cope with the huge demand. Moreover, the industry is still plagued by poor quality, poor workmanship, poor safety and health environment, and practices and project failures, which are proven by the Stadium failure in Terengganu and Sentral building floor collapse [14]. Hence, the industry must find an alternative solution such as the green construction, which has immense inherent advantages in term of sustainability, environment, energy and waste minimization [21].…”

Green construction is the current and future dominant issues in the world that become the headlines in most of the countries due to the increased world population and issues of global warming. The current practice of the construction industry leads to significant impact on the environment, economy and the society. A comprehensive guide and direction are crucial towards increasing the public awareness and the understanding of the importance of sustainable development practices through green concept and the green construction. Thus, seeks to explore the area of green construction, current practices, level of awareness and understanding, critical success factors and challenges for the successful implementation of green construction in Malaysia. The research methodology adopted for this research includes quantitative and qualitative data collection by using sequential explanatory strategy, while the research analysis includes descriptive and inferential statistical analysis for quantitative data collection and content analysis for qualitative data collection. Therefore, the idea of establishing a model for the successful implementation of green construction in Malaysian construction environment is valid and justified.

Protecting Critical Databases – Towards a Risk Based Assessment of Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIS) in South Africa

South Africa has made great strides towards protecting critical information infrastructures (CIIs). For example, South Africa recognises the significance of safeguarding places or areas that are essential to the national security of South Africa or the economic and social well-being of South African citizens. For this reason South Africa has established mechanisms to assist in preserving the integrity and security of CIIs. The measures provide inter alia for the identification of CIIs; the registration of the full names, address and contact details of the CII administrators (the persons who manage CIIs); the identification of the location(s) of CIIs or their component parts; and the outlining of the general descriptions of information or data stored in CIIs. It is argued that the measures to protect CIIs in South Africa are inadequate. In particular, the measures rely on a one-size-fits-all approach to identify and classify CIIs. For this reason the South African measures are likely to lead to the adoption of a paradigm that considers every infrastructure, data or database, regardless of its significance or importance, to be key or critical.
