Malaysia is a country where people of diverse ethnicity and religion live together in a society for so long, establishing a unique multicultural identity. Nevertheless, the efforts to maintain the harmonious atmosphere is not easy, there are challenges especially in the Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) era, where the development in information and communication technology (ICT) platforms grows rapidly. Some of the digital media facilities offered are not utilised for their intended purpose, instead, they are now used as provocative instruments. Unfortunately, freedom of speech and expression are misinterpreted, leading to ethnic and religion slurs, as well as incitement to hatred. Thus, this study aims to analyse the effect of social media on tolerance in the multicultural society in Malaysia. The study used a survey design by adopting the quantitative method. The set of online questionnaires (Google Form) was distributed to 260 respondents, and the data obtained were subject to inferential analysis using SEM AMOS. The study findings concluded significant impact of social media on tolerance in a multicultural society (β2 = 0.568). Thus, all parties need to work together to create a harmonious social ecosystem, while practising selfcontrol in their interaction between communities, especially in the cyberspace.

Results indicated that Borneo (M = 2.85, SD = 0.426) showed more racial tolerant, followed by Others (M = 2.75, SD = 0.614), Indian (M = 2.73, SD = 0.553), Malay (M = 2.66, SD = 0.498) and Chinese (M = 2.52, SD = 0.635). Understanding on cultural and religious diversity is very important in producing a harmonious and tolerant society. The nature of mutual understanding in every citizen is able to create a society that respects, united and tolerates each other.

“…Minority students tend to have higher aspirations, given the characteristics of their socioeconomic background, education or region of origin (Gil-hernández et al, 2018). Schools that have students from different ethnic groups provide space and opportunities for students to interact socially between groups (Ahmad et al, 2018). Characteristics of students, regions of origin, and ethnic backgrounds, can be the basic foundation for pedagogic development (Mel, 2021).…”

Pilot cadets take part in a series of education and training at an academy. Differences in the background of prospective cadets can affect the educational process and achievements achieved by the cadets. This study aims to analyze differences in the area of origin of the education and training outcomes of prospective pilot cadets. The study was conducted on 22 cadets of the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi which were divided into 3 groups of regions of origin which generally had different levels of educational progress. The scores of the initial test results including the academic potential test, physical test and initial flight aptitude test were compared. Furthermore, comparisons were made for the initial flight aptitude test, flight aptitude test 1 and flight aptitude test 2. The results showed that education and training at the academy could improve the performance of the cadets but still resulted in achievement gaps due to their regional background. The results of the study can be used as a reference for the development of pilot education models. Further research can be done for deeper diversity or educational curriculum that is not yet optimal
