“…Arof et. al describes that the indicator is considered to be accepted and important if the RII value is more than 70.00 [17]. The relationship between these two variables, selection of Halal food and Ibadah, was tested by using Pearson correlation test that can be simplified into negligible, weak, moderate, strong, and very strong relationships, as shown in Table 1.…”

Community has put the exclusive requirements for Halal food by planning the rules of manufacturing practice, in particular known as Islamic Manufacturing Practice (IMP). Many Islamic scholars mentioned the importance of Halal food to Muslim behavior, including in the practice of both Fardhu Ain and Fardu Kifayah Ibadah. This paper aims to identify the relationship of Halal food and Ibadah between the Muslim community in Malaysia. Through a questionnaire survey and systematic literature review, this study designed a set of a questionnaire survey that has passed a reliability test through a pilot study on 15 respondents with a Cronbach Alpha value 0.78. The actual data collection consisted of 115 respondents from a random sample, which focuses only on Peninsular Malaysia. The study found that the Muslim community in Malaysia is ensuring the food intake with a Halal logo from an authorised body like JAKIM and Halal food has a weak positive relationship with Ibadah among the Muslim community in Malaysia. Unfortunately, some of the Muslim communities in Malaysia have difficulties in identifying the originality of authorized Halal logo. Therefore, this paper suggests the authorized bodies in Halal products to make a campaign in educating the Malaysian Muslim community.

“…Unfortunately, according to Arof et. al,[17], RII value less than 80.00 is considered not critical. This can be concluded that Malaysian Muslims are mindful of the originality of the Halal logo authorized bodies, but the knowledge differentiating originality should be improved.…”

“…The Cronbach Alpha of the data set was 0.918, indicating that the collected data were highly reliable (Arof et al, 2018). The findings of the questionnaire survey Round 1 were then used to rank the external stakeholder types according to the influence level they can exert on the projects during the planning and designing stages.…”

PurposeAccelerating the influences of external stakeholders in any construction project is inevitable. Studies on external stakeholder influence on construction projects and literature on external stakeholder management in irrigation infrastructure projects executed with donor funds are scarce. Thus, this study aimed to investigate how to manage the external stakeholders' influence on donor-funded irrigation infrastructure projects effectively.Design/methodology/approachA mixed approach consisting of 17 semi-structured interviews and two rounds of questionnaire surveys was adopted to rank the following: the types of external stakeholders who can significantly influence irrigation infrastructure projects, significant influencing strategies used by those stakeholders, and significant strategies that can be adopted to manage external stakeholder influence on the projects.FindingsIn total, 12 of external stakeholders who can significantly influence irrigation infrastructure projects were identified; 17 significant influencing strategies used by external project stakeholders and 22 significant strategies used to manage external stakeholder influence on the projects were identified. The influencing/management strategies specific to each external stakeholder type and those that are common to all external stakeholder types were identified separately. The grievance redress mechanism should be activated for managing external stakeholder influence on donor-funded irrigation infrastructure projects.Originality/valueThis study contributes to theory by identifying significant strategies that can be used to manage external stakeholder influence on donor-funded irrigation infrastructure projects during the planning and design stages. The study will help project teams to handle external stakeholder influence on the projects successfully, accomplish project objectives, and make maximum utilization of the donor funds received.

“…The questionnaire survey is then distributed to 143 construction players involved in the design and planning of cities in Malaysia, including local authorities, developers and consultants. Data analysis was subsequently undertaken via the relative importance index (RII), where the causal factors of failure in adopting a biophilic city concept in Malaysia are eventually arranged based on its importance as done by Arof et al (2018). Table 3 illustrates the causal factors of failure in adopting a biophilic city concept in Malaysia.…”

Biophilic city is a sister term of the green city that eventually improvised the concept of the latter. The concept of biophilic city holistically brings humans closer to nature rather than bringing nature to humans. Regrettably, in introducing this concept, numerous causal factors of failure need to be faced by the government, local authorities, developers, consultants, and even contractors. Within this context, this paper aims to investigate the causal factors of the failure of adopting a biophilic city concept in Malaysia. This paper provides a review of existing literature related to causal factors of failure of cities in general towards the adoption of a biophilic city concept. A set of questionnaires was designed based on the literature review that may well facilitate in responding to the causal factors of failure in adopting a biophilic city in Malaysia. The questionnaire underwent a pilot study consists of 15 respondents with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.96. After the pilot test, the questionnaire survey was distributed among 143 construction players involved in the design and planning of city development, namely local authorities, developers and consultants. The most top three critical causal factors of failure in (CCFF) adopting biophilic city concepts in Malaysia are the lack of government awareness, followed by biophilic city scale and space value conflict as well as limited existing green spaces.
