Message from the Director of Research and Innovation
Centre
Assalamualaikum and a warm welcome to the 2nd
International Conference on Research in
TVET (Technical Vocational Education and Training) Studies (ICOR-TVET 2018). This
conference continues to be hosted by collaboration between IPN Education Group and
Polytechnic Malaysia. It is organized to respond to demands from policy-makers, educators and
other stakeholders for global debates, knowledge and experience sharing, and changing ideas, in
line with ‘Leveraging TVET’ via the Malaysian Polytechnic Education System.
Globally, TVET is a well-known concept. In realizing our vision to be the leading-edge TVET
institution, it is important that we seek the best ways to improve the educational and training
opportunities for our youth through our TVET system. Hence, TVET signals the importance of
integrating formal education with practical training as we need to achieve the link to the labor
market and industry. The world of work requires new skills; not only job-specific skills but also
creative entrepreneurial and digital skills. Ensuring that our youth is not left behind must remain
at the heart of our TVET education and training policies.
I am confident that this Conference will provide a unique platform for knowledge and experience
sharing, reflection and debates on redesigning the landscape of TVET as it invites TVET
scholars, practitioners, decision makers and stakeholders from all parts of society throughout
the world. It is hope that the Conference results significant outcomes that will contribute to
regional and global educational development that will be driven by TVET.
Best wishes for a successful conference. I look forward to welcome all participants to the
Conference in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Thank You.

The global financial crisis during 1997 affects
many countries to progressively promoted
financial literacy as an essential financial skill
through numerous global initiatives and became
part and parcel of national strategies of financial
inclusion. The need to increase financial literacy
is important as the economy continues to change.
The importance of financial literacy not only
among adults but also youth or students in order
for them to make significant financial decision as
they transition into adulthood. Previous studies
report that financial literacy levels among
respondents of surveys were alarmingly low in
many countries. The 2008 Great Recession
aftermath, numerous studies were undertaken by
academic researchers in analyzing the factors
affecting the financial literacy of individuals.
Previous studies revealed that financial literacy
among the young was low and strongly related to
socio-demographic characters and family
financial sophistication. In view of these
concerns, this concept paper focused on
suggesting the determinant factors of Islamic
financial literacy among college/university
students such as Polytechnic. Thus, this paper
aims to develop the constructs for Islamic
financial literacy and its determinants, namely
financial knowledge, financial behavior and
financial attitude.

making. Notably, TVET has recently underlined
the significance of teachers‟ preparation program
with regards to the issue of teaching job
dissatisfaction. Purposefully, a mixed-method
design was employed by adopting a convergent
parallel design where both qualitative and
quantitative data were combined in a single
instrument. Results from the narrative
interpretation were derived from the open-ended
qualitative questions. In particular, Qualtrics, an
online-survey form was utilized to collect the
research data. For this study, the target population
comprised of Malaysian training instructors at
TVET educational institutions. Next, a thematic

dissatisfaction factors. Accordingly, six themes
were highlighted: (1) burdened with
administrative tasks, (2) forced to manipulate
students' achievement documentations, (3)
improper planning of TVET programme
implementation, (4) student factor, (5)
inconducive working environment, and (6)
unstable TVET system. Although it was hard to

Inconsistencies in NQF of SAARC
Countries

Dhaka Polytechnic Institute, Bangladesh.
ABSTRACT
The South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation (SAARC) comprises the eight
countries of South Asia, i.e. Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, The Maldives, Nepal,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is an Association based
on the consciousness that in an increasingly
independent world, the objectives of peace,
freedom, social justice and economic prosperity
are best achieved in the South Asian region by
fostering mutual understanding, good neighborly
relations and meaningful cooperation among the
Member States which are bound by ties of history
and culture. But there are great inconsistencies in
National Qualification Framework (NQF) of
SAARC countries. A NQF is a modern
measuring instrument for the Employer to
measure the quality and performance of the
Employee. In all of the SAARC countries, the
NQF is represented by different numbers of NQF
levels, different number of NQF level in TVET
sector, different numbers of NQF levels in
Tertiary education sector, etc. which makes it
difficult for the regional and international
Employer to judge the Employee‟s quality and
performance depending on the NQF levels. This
could be made easier for the Employer when a
common NQF is followed by all countries of a
continent or subcontinent which is now essential
for SAARC countries. For instance, European
Qualification Framework (EQF) is a popular
NQF in Europe which is followed by the different
member countries of EU and Australian
Qualification Framework (AQF) is another
popular qualification framework in Australia.
Similarly, ASEAN Qualification Reference
Framework (AQRF) is a resent established NQF
reference framework for ASEAN countries which
is same as the EQF and Scottish reference model.
So that, an regional or international Employers
can easily measure or understand the quality &
performance of Employee depending on the NQF
levels and facilitate worldwide mobility of
workers. However, unlike Europe, Australia or
ASEAN countries, SAARC does not follow a
common NQF standard for all SAARC countries.
So the SAARC public has considerable
limitations for world-wide jobs. Therefore, it is
necessary to create a common NQF for SAARC
countries which will make easiness to understand
by the Employers of Employee quality &
performance and facilitate worldwide mobility of
SAARC peoples. This paper represented the
inconsistencies in NQF of SAARC countries with
proposed an idea to establish a common NQF for
SAARC countries, named SAARC Qualification
Reference Framework (SQRF).

ABSTRACT
The issue of women in boardroom has become
an important agenda in corporate world, and
extensively discussed by academics and
professionals. In Malaysia, the emphasis to have
women directors in Malaysian public listed
companies (PLCs) has started in 2010, where the
Malaysian government announce that PLCs to
have at least 30% of female board members by
the year 2016. The purpose of this study is to
examine the level and the profile of the women
directors in Malaysian PLCs in year 2016. The
results suggest that women directors only account
for less than half of the expectation, and almost
40% of the sampled firms do not have a single
women in boardroom. By separate industries,
none of the industry comply with such
announcement. The presence of women is seen
only to fulfill the government‟s requirement, but
not to empower them with decision making and
monitoring role.

ABSTRACT
In this research, study on mutual coupling of
aperture coupled cylindrical DRA and its
influence on return loss, radiation pattern
including the directivity, gain and bandwidth was
computed and illustrated. The DRA was excited
by a micro strip line with aperture coupled slots
where the slot locations were calculated using the
characteristic of standing wave ratio over a short
ended micro strips. Small dielectric resonator
antenna was designed using high permittivity
dielectric material with permittivity the substrate
of 3.38. The diameter of the dielectric resonator
is 12mm with the height of 4.2mm. The element
spacing that been investigated for the effect of
mutual coupling was at 0.5λ, 0.75λ and 1λ with
maximum of four DRA been used. The final
result shows the effect of mutual coupling is
decreased with three DRA element with the gain
measured at 5.948GHz frequency is about
8.619dB with high directivity measured at
11.4dBi. This shows that the proposed DRA with
three 1λ spacing DRA elements exhibits an
enhancement of the gain and directivity in
comparison with a single pellet DRA. Hence, by
increasing the level of isolation between the two
identical DRAs to 1λ it actually helps

ABSTRACT
Nowadays Silicone Rubber (SiR) is
recommended in high voltage cable accessories
fabrication as it offers excellent electrical and
mechanical properties. Electrical tree is one of
the phenomenon which contributes to the main
factor of SiR insulation breakdown. Recently, a
new approach has been applied in order to
enhance the insulation strength properties by
introducing nano filler in undoped material. Thus,
this paper presents the influence of nano-alumina
and halloysite nanoclay on electrical tree growth
in SiR at 0, 1 vol%, 2 vol% and 3 vol%
concentration. The electrical tree growth was
investigated at 8kVrms after tree inception
voltage (TIV) within 30 minutes under room
temperature. The results show reductions of
electrical tree growth speed and accumulate
damage (%) up to 2 vol% nano-alumina and up to
3 vol% halloysite nanoclay. Nevertheless the
presence of 3 vol% nano-alumina in SiR leads to
the faster electrical tree growth rate and the worst
accumulate damage within 1 minute of electrical
tree growth process.

ABSTRACT In this day and age, with the ever-growing
population and energy demand, we should take
the renewable option route in our energy source.
We should also keep in mind that said energy
should not cause any lasting environmental
damage, one of the perfect example being solar
energy. A country that is hot and sunny all year
long is the perfect contributor to solar energy,
case in point, Malaysia. With that in mind Solar
Tree is designed and developed to facilitate
consumers who need electric power at any place,
anytime, anywhere. The objective of this study
is to assess a mini project in the likes of Solar
Tree that can generate electricity without
harming the environment, despite the weather.
Being a mini project, it is understandable that
electricity generated is limited, with only up to
500W in total. As a trial, two electronic devices
were tested, specifically a mobile phone and a
laptop, as both devices are used almost every
day. The data collected is then tabulated and
analysed. It was concluded the solar tree
developed proved efficient in charging both
devices and will continue to do so given enough
sunlight.

ABSTRACT
Brake squeal is a very complex phenomenon and
remain a challenging issue to vehicle
manufacturers due to its complicated interaction
between structural dynamics and tribological
behavior. Brake squeal has turned out to become
an active brake noise research topic. It involves
numerous disciplines such noise and vibration,
friction composition, friction layer, wear, thermal
effect, third body or wear debris and
environmental issue. Despite massive
information related to brake squeal has been
presented and highlighted, there is still lack of
knowledge on the main source or mechanism of
brake squeal generation particularly on the
tribological aspect. In fact, there is no
information available in the open literature on the
contribution of airborne particles such as road
sand and debris particles on brake squeal
occurrences. This paper attempts to examine the
effect of airborne wear particles on brake pad
surface topography and subsequently its
correlation with squeal generation. In doing so,
road grit particles with the size of 100-500 μm
will be used and fed into the disc brake end
corner. Surface topography of the NAO (Non-
Asbestos Organic) brake pad with airborne wear
particles will be analyzed and compared with the
authors' previous work using scanning electron
microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray
analysis (EDX)

ABSTRACT
This paper is about the reduction of the overall
size of metal blanking sheet that is being used to
form a stamping product or car body panel of a
car manufacturer in Malaysia. The current
blanking sheet produces extra waste which will
be recycled and does not contribute to increase
productivity but increases inventory cost. The
reduction in the blanking sheet size will lead to
the reduction of raw material hence reduced the
production cost. However, the reduced size of
blanking sheet could affect the yield strength of
the product. The study of the yield strength and
yield improvement of the product are done by
simulating stress analysis by using CATIA
software. The results show that the new
proposed size of the metal blanking sheet
provides accuracy of the product dimension as
well as maintaining the yield strength of the
product and it reduced a significant amount of
metal scrap which is nearly 9% of total material
size and save around 10% of inventory cost.

ABSTRACT The Wood Based Technology workshop in PSSAAS has all the machines needed to train students to be skilled wood based workers in the future. It is well known that machines in the wood processing industry create high frequency noise which has the significant impact on human being‟s sense of hearing. A survey was carried out to identify user‟s knowledge of the noise level in the workshop and their awareness on the effects of noise. 85% of the respondents in the survey had a strong basic knowledge on the sound. 84% agree to the noise negative and 34% disagrees that their work palace (workshop) is comfortable. Based on the survey results, the sound/noise level data was collected to determine the noise level of the machines in the workshop. The Radial Arm Saw, Circular Arm Saw, Air Compressor and Thickness Planner were found out to produced loud noise of96dB (A), 96 dB(A), 92 dB(A) and 107dB (A) respectively. Then the factory and machinery (Noise Exposure) Regulation 1989 permissible noise level was used to identify users to identify users exposure limits and found out that 107 dB( A) Thickness Planner allowed 46 minutes exposure limit while 92 dB (A)Air Compressor allowed 6 hours of exposure limit. The exposure were contiguous and below regulations limit however noise pollution though it is not dangerous at the time, can cause permanent damage if duration of the exposure is prolonged.

ABSTRACT A new innovation has been created which is
called AUTOMATIC MEAT SLICING (AMS)
MACHINE. The main purpose of the machine
creation is to replace the old-style method in
slicing the chicken meat to modern method.
BABARITTOS DELIGHT supplies Tortillas
Wrap to the latest trend of Food & Beverage
(F&B) business called Food Truck. The main
ingredient of Burritos is slices of boneless
chicken meat, where each slice is approximately
has to be 5 mm thick. Formerly, the slicing
procedure used a normal cutting knife and its
production rate was truncated as the demands of
the Burritos are going higher by days. This
method requires 3 to 4 workers to team up to
complete the 30 kg boneless chicken meat to be
cut into roughly 5 mm per slice within one and
half hour. The AMS machine is predominant to
help the company to grow the output of sliced
meat and at the same time can reduce the number
of workers. The usage of AMS machine is only
required one worker for the operation and the
output can be up to 30kg per 30mins, which is
actually can end up almost 3 times quantity of
output and 3 times labor cost-saving. Meanwhile
the quality of the sliced meat is much enhanced
as most of the slice meat is precisely 5mm thick.
The AMS concept design is cutting the meat
using several circular cutting blades, where the
chicken will be put on the moving conveyor and
finally will fall onto the hygienic tray.

ABSTRACT
As an important organizational concept, safety
climate is regarded as the product of collective
sense-making in which members assess their
organizational safety environment. In
construction projects, the participation of
multiple stakeholders increases the complexity of
the sense-making process because the safety
climates in these participant organizations are
iterated. Employers of work organization were
optimistic that TVET institution would be able to
mould their students to be skill full and
knowledgeable of work they had always dream.
Competence indicates sufficiency of knowledge
and skills that enable someone to act in a wide
variety of situations. Thus, having some type of
thinking skills benefit workers to assure the work
progress of whole organization duties going on in
timeframe although unexpected trouble
interrupted but solve effectively. It would be
helpful to know thinking skills, how effective
thinking skills will thrive in work. This helps
TVET institution to decide the curriculum that
best fits their students. By using the collected
quantitative data analysed by factor analysis (FA)
and partial least squares (PLS), the objective of
this research is to investigate the effect of safety
and health culture on decreasing occupational
accident and to evaluate the influence of TVET
academic institution on developing and
improving skill of workers.

ABSTRACT
Knowledge sharing initiatives (KSI) are
approaches/events/mechanisms/programmes for
the purpose of formalisation and for sharing best
practice and experiences within an organisation.
However, there is a paucity of research that has
investigated the nature of the different
approaches to improve the effectiveness of
knowledge sharing, the appropriate organisational
factors at play for knowledge sharing to be fully
exploited; and the knowledge sharing benefits
derived by QS firms in Malaysia. In this paper,
knowledge sharing initiatives (KSI) are an
organisational approach to managing knowledge
that includes human (soft) and system (hard)
components. The discussions of the paper are
based on findings of a mixed methodology
approach, i.e. combination of qualitative and
quantitative methods. The data sets obtained from
mixed methods were subjected to rigorous
qualitative and statistical analyses. A
comprehensive model for implementing
knowledge sharing initiatives (KSI) in QS firms
is presented in this paper. The developed model is
clear, cohesive and can be well understood by all
quantity surveyors. The model has identified four
main areas which are knowledge sharing
initiatives; implementation of knowledge sharing
2nd ICOR-TVET (2018), HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
16
initiatives; Quantity Surveying Firms and
Performance Measurement. For each of emphasis
area the paper have discussed the conceptual
framework used and summarised the empirical
research results. The successful implementation
of this model, however, needs careful
consideration of a host of challenges, which can
impinge on staff and process performances. The
contribution of this research is, therefore, to add
to the body of knowledge on KSI by providing
evidence from a Malaysian construction industry
perspective.

ABSTRACT
All students of Malaysian Polytechnics have to
take Mathematics as one of the compulsory
course in Diploma level. In Mathematical
Computing course, Geometry is one of the topics
included in the syllabus. However, most students
of Balik Pulau Polytechnic have less interest in
this topic. Based on Final Exam Item Analysis,
more than 70% of students refused to answer the
question related to Geometry. To overcome the
situation, the researcher tries to adopt GeoGebra
in teaching and learning session of Geometry,
specifically related to angle in a circle. The
research objective is to determine if there is a
major difference between the achievements of
two groups. This research is a quasi-experimental
where one experimental group and one control
group underwent a pre-test and post-test about
properties of angle in a circle. There were 53
randomly selected samples of semester one
students from Diploma of Information
Technology (Digital Technology) of Politeknik
Balik Pulau. Data analysis using Statistical
Package of Social Science (SPSS) shows that
there is an insignificant difference between the
two groups. However, it was found that the

ABSTRACT
The use of advanced high strength steels as a
metal in sheet metal forming in automotive
industry currently has been increased where
Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) especially
Dual Phase (DP590) Steels have gained a great
attention due to a combination of high strength
and good formability. However, one of the major
constraints in forming AHSS is the occurrence of
high spring back caused by elastic relaxation after
loading, which causes illness-fitting in part
assembly and geometric deviation of the intended
design. Spring back is the main problem of defect
that occurs at sheet metal after the bending
process which creates problems for the parts
during the assembly. This paper presents an
investigation the effect of spring back on bending
test of Dual Phase Steel (DP590). Punch travel
and thickness are among factors affecting the
spring back behavior. Various parameter value;
punch radius (5mm), die radius (5mm), die gap
(70mm), thickness of specimen 1mm and 2mm,
punch travel/stroke (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

bending test punch travel, thickness and
orientation of sheet cutting are significant factor
that affecting the spring back phenomena. The
result form this experiment could be useful for
design engineers and manufacturing engineers to
make improvement of predict the spring back
behavior and also to understanding the material
properties of AHSS in order to eliminate spring
back and achieve good final product.

ABSTRACT
Industrialised Building System (IBS) is well
known in many developing countries due to the
benefits that can be derived from its applications
in construction projects. However, the low
percentage of IBS usage may be due to lack of
awareness and knowledge about IBS among
many professionals. There may be factors that
contribute to a lack of interest from the client
towards IBS. The aim of this study is to improve
the application of IBS particularly in private
construction projects in Malaysia by determining
the benefits and expectation on application of
IBS in private construction projects. This study
adopts a quantitative method using questionnaires
that were sent to 35 construction firms as a
sampling frame. Finally, the finding of this study
hopefully could assist professional parties in
construction industry in providing a better ground
knowledge for improving decisions making to
achieve the success of IBS construction projects
implementation and also this study will achieved
the project objectives in terms of predetermined
objectives that are mostly within the time,

ABSTRACT
The problem of constructing such a continuous
function is called data fitting. Many times, data
given only at discrete points. With interpolation,
we seek a function that allows us to approximate
f(x) such that functional values between the
original data set values may be determined. The
process of finding such a polynomial is called
interpolation and one of the most important
approaches used are Lagrange interpolating
formula. In this study, researcher determining the
polynomial interpolation by using Lagrange
interpolating formula. Then, a mathematical
modelling was built by using MATLAB
programming to determine the polynomial
interpolation for a given points using the
Lagrange method. The result of the study showed
that the manual calculating and the MATLAB
mathematical modelling will give the same
answer for evaluated x and graph.

ABSTRACT
Diverting waste material from landfill sites has a
big implication for the creation of new markets
and has environmental benefits through offsetting
the need for the extraction of raw materials.
Besides, the major attention especially in
construction industry is the problem to make
natural resources sustainable for three to four
decades in future. However, in this study finely
glass powder with pozzolanic properties is found
to be a partial replacement for cement and can
acts as filler in the microstructure of a mortar
block. Thus, a study was conducted to see the
effects of various proportions of windscreen glass
waste powder (WGWP) in determining the
degree of water absorption on mortar
incorporated with WGWP and to determine the
optimum replacement to the ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) with WGWP. Several
compositions of WGWP (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and
20% by cement weight) of mortar cube sample
were prepared and cured at 7, 28 and 60 days to
undergo a water absorption test. From this
research, it shows that the use of WGWP was
found to be the best features pozzolanic enough
to use as a partial replacement for cement and it
can reduced the pores of mortar by blocking the
large voids in the hydrated cement paste through
pozzolanic reaction. In the term of water
absorption, the lowest reading was achieved in
15% and it can be said that 15% replacement is
the optimum replacement of OPC.

ABSTRACT
Squeal can be a major problem in the
development of an automotive disc brake system
and large efforts have been made to reduce the
squeal tendency. Brake squeal is a noise
emanating from car disc brakes that excites due to
one or more mechanisms such as mode coupling,
stick-slip, hammering and sprag-slip. In the
effort to satisfy customer expectation on minimal
noise and vibration, high and stable friction and
low wear rate at pad and disc, this paper
investigates the effects of brake pad wear on
squeal generation. The squeal experiment will be
held on a high frequency of squeal which up to 10
kHz. Four pairs of a non-asbestos organic (NAO)
brake pad will be tested on a brake dynamometer
test rig. The wear behavior of the brake pad will
be analyzed through microscopic techniques

human capital is a crucial factor for Malaysia to
transform its economy towards achieving high-
income status by the year 2020. Currently,
Malaysia government policy towards the
globalization era which will cover four programs
namely; investment literacy, Malaysia Women
Made, Impact 4 Humanity and Industrial
Revolution 4.0. Recognizing that need, the
government continues to strive to increase the
number of students enrolment in local public
institutions of higher learning in all areas and
level of study. However, the increasing number of
graduates is insufficient without completing them
with current skills required by industry and
employers. Therefore, studies on graduate
marketability from employer's perspective are
important to enable local public and private
institutions of higher learning to understand the
current needs of the industry. This study
conducted to identify the level of students‟
achievement in pursuing study through Work
Based Learning. A year attachment in industry
actually to gives real exposure and experience to
the students in order to create job creator
compared to job seekers among politeknik
graduates. Entrepreneurship program conducted
towards the students in politeknik helps students
to foster their interest to be a job provider or
entrepreneur. This study is conducted on the
industry partner who has been appointed as a
supervisor to Politeknik METrO Tasek Gelugor
(PMTG) students, who undergo practical training
in Work Based Learning (WBL) Mode. Students
are attached to the local production company, and
education institutions related to the video and
film studies disciplines. The industrial partner
will supervise the students for a year. Tools used
by industry to evaluate students who undergo
WBL was distributed by PMTG and industrial
panel will monitor students‟ performance while
completing their WBL. The respondents of this
study consist of 16 commercial production
company, 8 government institution/organization
and 8 from local broadcasting company. 30
students of Diploma in Video and Film Study
(DDV), the first PMTG cohort who are currently
undergoing WBL training from November 2016
to September 2017. Result shows 58% of the
students gained 3-4 marks on professional ethics
and impression. 30% students gained 3-4 marks
on achievement in communication skills. 50%
students gained 4 marks for safety practicing
during WBL. And 48% students attained 4 marks
for personnel and social skills. Lecturer should be
prepared professionally so they can serve well the
students to increase number of satisfaction among
industrial partner especially on communication
and language proficiency. Therefore lecturer
itself should increase their social skills because it
proactively help students, develop greater social
competence, and help to ensure positive short and
long term academic and personal outcomes for
students. Therefore, polytechnic as a higher level
institution can achieve beneficial teaching and
archive work satisfaction among academic staff
in producing good product to meet the industry
requirement. So then the target of higher

ABSTRACT
Nowadays, business is very challenging and
competitive, so it requires employers to hire
multitasking employees. Therefore, students
should be learning soft skills linked with
industrial requirements. Accounting students
should have added value, such as good soft
skills, which may lead to higher employability.
Higher education institutions need to play a role
to provide a curriculum that emphasizes soft
skills such as communication skills, time
management, and problem solving. This study
discusses these skills for accounting graduates
during their studies at higher education
institutions. Without better soft skills, it is very
tough for future accountants to be hired. Higher
employability linked with better soft skills may
enhance the public‟s perception of the
accounting field.

Promoting Entrepreneurial Competencies via Education:
Is Malaysian Polytechnic Entrepreneurship Education Effective?
Asliza Yusoff
Department of Commerce, Politeknik Sultan
Azlan Shah, 35950 Behrang Stesen, Perak,
Malaysia ABSTRACT
Malaysian Polytechnics have been actively
participating in providing entrepreneurship
education (EE) and training to improve basic
skills and encourage self-employment among its
graduates. Sadly, a scrutiny of the available
literature suggests that Malaysian polytechnic
entrepreneurship education (MPEE) is
ineffective as it failed to inculcate
entrepreneurial spirit among the students as they
were not embedded with enterprising
knowledge, business skills and attributes during
their study in polytechnics. However, these
findings obviously demand further clarification.
First, although entrepreneurship is indeed a very
long process and cannot be created overnight,
previous studies measured the effectiveness of
MPEE by looking into students‟ readiness for
entrepreneurship. Although scholars have argued
that entrepreneurial readiness or intention is the
proximal determinant of entrepreneurial
behaviour, intention alone is not enough in
measuring entrepreneurship as it does not lead to
immediate action. Second, both studies missed
to apply the regression method in their analysis
to investigate the impact MPEE on students‟
entrepreneurial development, leaving both
theoretical and methodological gaps to be filled
by the current study. Based on this justifications,
this study proposes that the effectiveness of
MPEE can be studied by looking at how it
creates students‟ intellectual capital, which is the
asset that are garnered from an investment in
EE, and students‟ entrepreneurial behaviour via
a longitudinal design. This effort is deemed
important since understanding the effectiveness
of MPEE will bring substantial value to the
overall educational, economic, and societal well-
being in the long run. The significance of this
study lies in its effort to reveal the effectiveness

of MPEE by investigating its impact on „the
other side‟ of entrepreneurial intention, which is
its behavioural aspect.

Politeknik Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin,
Pauh Putra, 02600 Arau, Perlis
ABSTRACT
Innate factors are important determinants of
earnings quality of the firm. Most previous
studies have not emphasized the potential
importance of economic factors individually
towards earnings quality. Therefore, this study
aims to examine the importance of economic
factors as determinant factors of earnings quality
in Malaysia‟s different economic circumstances,
that is before and after the 2008 global financial
crisis. The data collection was made through
2,549 firm year observed data consisting of 728
listed companies in Bursa Malaysia from the year
2006 until year 2010. Data collected were
analyzed using panel data regression techniques
in determining the influence of economic factors
towards earnings quality. Measurement of
earnings quality is based on the accrual quality.
The results showed that the firm size, variability
of cash flows, length of operating cycle,
incidence of losses and investment opportunities
have a significant influence in describing
earnings quality. On the other hand variability of
sales and capital intensity proved these factors
were not significantly important in describing
earnings quality. Overall, this study could give a
significant contribution to the literature that
innate factors have their own importance as
determinant factors of earnings quality in
Malaysia.

ABSTRACT
The main idea of this project is to help the
maintenance personnel who is working in small
aircraft hangar where they have their own toolbox
with power source. When working away from
tool crib, they needed a toolbox that can be
equipped with precise tools and power source.
The invention of this product basically is an
improved design of the normal toolbox that equip
with built-in air compressor and power source.
The source of the air compressor is a battery,
which is charged by solar energy for continuous
power source. The solar panel compartment is
foldable to reduce the size the toolbox and ensure
the toolbox is not hot while exposed to sunlight
for battery recharging or off hangar working
period. Every tool inside the toolbox is
divided into few partitions to organize and
enable easy access to the tools that needed to
do their task. Besides that, built-in an air
compressor in the toolbox used to powered
up the air tools without using longer
pneumatic hoses which may cause hazards.
The objective of this innovation is to design
and built the PPT. PPT maximizes the use of
toolbox for minor servicing repair and also
can be implemented for education purpose.

ABSTRACT
Branding is part of the promotional aspect of
marketing and is extremely important to the
image, reputation, and success of an organization
or institutions. Successful branding would help to
attract and retain students at the institution.
Polytechnics need to market themselves in order
to attract students. To compete in the current
marketplace, polytechnics management has to
find effective approaches to attract students
including adopting and practicing the culture of
quality across all aspects of their activities. As
part of strategies, three polytechnics have been
selected as the nation‟s premier polytechnics. The
three institutions chosen are PSA (Selangor),
PUO (Perak) and PIS (Johor). The three premier
polytechnics are said to focus on technical
programmes in niche fields which address the
needs of the services industry. Centres of
technology which serve as hubs of reference,
research and international collaboration will also
be established in the premier polytechnics. It is
apparent that the establishment of a premier
polytechnic focuses on developing a distinctive
image whilst maintaining the institution‟s
competitive advantage. Implicitly premier
polytechnics are formed significantly for
advancing the socio-economic progress of a
nation, particularly through its human resource
development. Furthermore, it is hoped that
premier polytechnic would become competitive
and resilient enough to be among the best
institutions in the world. This paper reports on
the perceived brand image of premier
polytechnics among students. The main
objective is to develop a model of premier
polytechnics brand image which is capable to
make polytechnics the preferred choice of
students. In addition, this research identifies key
dimensions necessary to evaluate brand image.
This study is perhaps one of the first to
investigate determinants of premier polytechnics
brand image which will provide insights on how

ABSTRACT Indoor planting or better known as indoor
farming has become more widely used method as
it is able to provide higher yields throughout the
year. Currently most of the developed country the
shortage of land for agriculture and the time is a
major factor effecting agriculture sector, it is a
global trend. In this technique, one of the most
important things is the use of artificial light
sources to replace the sun at indoor environment.
Although there is still no such light that capable
of replacing the sun completely, but sometimes
the artificial light provides better results. The use
of artificial light in plant cultivation was first
began in 1868 by a Russian botanist Andrei
Famintsyn. The use of artificial light changes
according to current technology from time to
time. The results of previous studies showed
similar outcome that were relied on the
capabilities of existing equipment at that time. In
this study, three different LED color lights, 18W
and a luorescent lamp, 36W were used. The
height or growth of the salad plant was taken for
6 weeks period. At the end of the study, the
height of the salad plant in the red LED lamp is
as high as 10.9cm, followed by the Blue, White
and Yellow Lights, 7.41cm, 7.6cm and 5.23cm.
From the studies it shows different color lights
create an impact on the height growth of a plant
or vegetable. This study is useful for researchers
that focus on indoor farming using artificial light
as a source of sunlight.
