- PublicationThe corporate governance determinants of financial distress : evidence from Malaysian industrial sector(2025-12-29)This study is aims to investigate the relationship between Corporate Governance (CG) determinants and financial distress among the industrial company in Malaysia. The five CG determinants that were identified are board size, board independent, CEO duality, director ownership, and director remuneration. The data is collected by annual report 2016 to investigate the CG determinants that contribute to financial distress or non-financial distress company. The sample for this study is 225 Industrial Companies in Malaysia. The financial distress is measured by Z-score model by Altman. The results show that board size and director ownership ship have a significant relationship with financial distress among industrial sector companies in Malaysia. The most significant corporate governance determinants in financial distress are board size and director ownership.
- PublicationThe determinants of quality time spent on the internet for academic puposes among students in higher learning education institute(2025-12-29)Almost every student in higher education institutions uses Internet for academic and other purposes. The aim of this study was to examine the significant relationship between students' characteristics with quality time spent on the Internet. A survey on 200 students of UNITEN Muadzam Shah and Politeknik Muadzam Shah with various courses was carried out. Independent variables used to measure students' academic performance were age, CGPA, courses, gender and year of studies. Data collected showed that students' gender and year of studies do affect quality time spent on the internet.
- PublicationThe effects of different thickness on microstructure and acoustic properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch natural fibre with density of 120 kg/m3(2025-12-29)Sound pollution is becoming a serious issue nowadays. Sound absorption and sound insulation are two ways to reduce the noise. Recently, natural fibres are being used as a replacement for synthetic fibres as they arc abundance especially in Malaysia where we have hundreds of acres of plantations. Not only that, natural fibres are cheaper than fibre glass, it's a non-toxic material, fully biodegradable, lightweight, renewable and most importantly it is safe for health and environment [I I]. This thesis discusses about the effects of diMrent thickness on morphologies and acoustic properties of low density fibreboard (LDF) of oil palm empty fruit bunch. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) test were used in this study to determine the morphology and acoustic properties of OPEFB fibre. Boards with thickness of 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, and 16 mm were chosen and fabricated at density of 120kg/m3. It is interesting to note that OPEFB fibre of 10 mm is to be considered as the optimum fibreboard as the SAC value was a= 1.0 above 6000Hz. For 14 ram and 16 mm fibreboard, 80% of sound absorption occurs beyond 2500 Ilz whereby for 10 mm and 12 mm board, 80% of sound absorption occurs beyond 400011z. It is observed that 16 mm and 14 mm sample reached unity at 4000 Hz whereas 10 mitt and 12 mm samples reached unity at 5500 Hz. 10 mm OPEFB fibre shows better pore opening, greater distribution of silica bodies and bundle of hollow sub-fibres which enhance the absorption rate. Thus, OPEFB fibre can be used to replace existing synthetic material as a sound absorber.
- PublicationRelationship between corporate governance mechanisms and earnings management in Malaysian government linked companies (GLCs)(2025-12-29)A well governed organization has the ability to minimize and even address the issue ofearnings management. However, ascorporate governance continues to bea subject ofconcern, earnings management stillemerges asan unsettled issue. Hence, thisstudy attempts to investigate the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and earnings management in the Government Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia since less prior researches have included GLCs in their studies. In order to achieve this objective, a total of 16 GLCs from the G20 list were selected and analyzed. The required data was extracted from the annual reports of respective GLCs for a period of three years from year 2014 until year 2016. Corporate governance mechanisms namely CEO duality, board meetings, audit committee meetings and cross directorship were employed as the independent variables of this study and discretionary accruals was used as proxy for the earnings management. Findings from thestudy show that corporate governance mechanisms have no relationship with the earning$ management activities of GLCs.
