Ang, James B. 2008. Economic development, pollutant emissions and energy consumption in Malaysia. Journal of Policy Modeling. New York: Mar/Apr 2008. Vol. 30, Iss. 2; pg. 271 (accessed Mac 1, 2008)
The objective of this paper is to examine the long-run relationship between output, pollutant emissions, and energy consumption in Malaysia during the period 1971-1999. The results indicate that pollution and energy use are positively related to output in the long-run. The author has found a strong support for causality running from economic growth to energy consumption growth, both in the short-run and long-run.

The main objective of this research was to investigate the efficiency of coagulation and flocculation processes for removing suspended solids, colour and COD from leachate produced in a semi- aerobic landfill in Penang, Malaysia. A 12-month characterization study of the leachate indicated that it had a mean annual BOD/COD ratio of 0.15 and was partially stabilized, with little further biological degradation likely to occur. The results indicate that coagulation and flocculation processes can be used effectively in integrated semi-aerobic leachate treatment systems, especially for removing suspended solids, colour and COD.

Athukolalge, Premachandra. 2003. Crisis and Recovery in Malaysia: The Role of Capital Controls. United Kingdom:Edward Elgar Pub.
The author examines the role of international capital mobility in making countries susceptible to financial crises and the use of capital controls as a crisis management tool. The main focus on Malaysia’s policy decision is to pursue an independent recovery path. The analysis suggests that, against the initial dire predictions of many economists, the capital controls have actually played a crucial supportive role in crisis management.

The Election Commission has set March 8th as the date of the ballot. This mean Malaysia's Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi has dissolution of parliament more than a year before its term expires. Some believe it’s his strategists have some tricks up their sleeves. Mr Badawi has taken office vowing a cleaner, more efficient administration, but has struggled to show results. No one expects Mr Badawi to repeat his storming debut in 2004, when he led the ruling coalition to a 90% sweep of 219 seats in Parliament. But the coalition has won every election since independence in 1957.

Airasia and Sir Richard Branson, the British entrepreneur were in launching "a new round-the-world, low-cost airline. There were a few statements from CEO of Airasia, Mr Fernandes. He said that AirAsia had "a good six months" that would be reflected in strong earnings when the group reports later this month. But he acknowledged that competition was stiffening, notably as traditional airlines develop low-cost offshoots in countries such as South Korea and Australia. He was added said "AirAsia got in right at the bottom of the market and that's how we were able to scale up so fast. I don't think we could have replicated that right now."

Drug use and related disorders are a heavy burden on the country's health care and legal systems. In the Western Pacific regions, Malaysia has the second highest HIV prevalence and the highest proportion of HIV cases resulting from injection drug use. Recently, treatments and diversion of agonist medications are underdeveloped such as Naltrexone was introduced in 1999; buprenorphine (2001) and methadone (2003).

This article uses a case study of public human resource management (HRM) in Malaysia to explore policy 'transferability', proposed as a refinement of Dolowitz and Marsh's policy transfer framework. The case suggests that successful policy transfer requires an understanding in cultural, political, economic or linguistic terms. HRM in the Malaysian civil service is found to be relatively performance-orientated, though that is qualified by the Government's policies.

This study finds that policy makers were ignore the multi-level, multi-actor processes by which technology and society co-evolve, opportunities will be missed to render the use of ICTs meaningful to would-be users. It reflects on the potential for policy makers in developing countries to become technological transformation towards 'desirable' ends and assesses the contribution of diverse parties and factors to the acceptance or otherwise of ICTs
