This article analyses the legal implications of sub-sale house buyers and sellers' attitudes as illustrated in judicial cases from Malaysia, Australia and the United States. The cases demonstrate that purchasers still sleep on their legal duty to conduct a pre-purchase inspection. On the other hand, vendors often conceal the defects in the property and refuse to rectify the defects. This article recommends that consumer education is vital to protect the rights of purchasers and to uplift the vendors' ethical values of in a sale and purchase of the sub-sale house. It is also suggested that the jurisdiction of the Tribunal for Consumer Claims or the Tribunal for Homebuyer Claims be considered to be expanded to hear disputes arising from the purchase of houses from the sub-sale market.Keywords: fraud; inspection; home buyer; vendor.eISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Through field observations based on William H. Whyte’s research, data was collected regarding people’s activities in public plazas, and a discussion of how spatial factors affect people’s activities was down. The result demonstrated that Whyte’s elements are partly applied to China and some different ways using public space in China.eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018. The Authors.

This paper aims to evaluate the legal implications of the private lease scheme (PLS) for a property sale by the developers. It mainly relies on statutes and court cases as its primary sources of information. PLS is selling a lease to purchasers by the developers. If purchasers were misled to believe a property is purchased and not the purchase of the lease, it is considered misrepresentation. An amendment to the law is timely to cater for a scheme that may address a different legal status of the purchaser. Australia introduced a certificate of lease to enhance the security of tenure.

Architectural schools of design overwhelmingly adapt to cultural backgrounds of societies they target. This paper distinguishes between ideologies that generated Western, contemporary architecture, and on the other hand, the values of traditional Arab communities. The paper aims at parrying architectural plastic formations that are irrelevant to the local Arab discourse. The paper rediscovers a value oriented architecture that is capable of moving spiritual feelings towards the built environment, even if its formalistic and visual attractiveness is controversial. The paper demonstrates examples of what can be called “sincere” architecture rather than stunning and sight-startling products that apparently or superficially hold value.Keywords: Human architecture; spiritual architecture; symbolism; social building; experiencing architectureeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

The research aims to ascertain the most effective methods to protect the rights of buyers of unascertained fungible goods who have paid under a contract of sale subject to the Malaysian Sale of Goods Act 1957. The research method is doctrinal. The findings reveal that in the event the seller becomes insolvent, the buyer as unsecured creditors would need to compete with the other creditors for the price of the goods. The trust device and the adoption of section 20A and 20B of the English Sale of Goods Act 1979 could provide adequate protection by conferring proprietary rights to buyers.    Keywords: Contract; Sale of unascertained goods; Proprietary rights; Trusts.    eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Based on earlier studies on visual communication issues, many have suggested improving "language, syllable, or phonetics" to enhance speech and spelling for dyslexic children. The objectives are: 1) to identify visual communication by integrating the learning through text and voice instructions; 2) to analyse the visual communication in the syllables of Bahasa Melayu. Results and findings from the two objectives in this study will form the latest learning platform for dyslexic children and the other learning language disorders of children as a medium for learning the syllables of Bahasa Melayu.

In Malaysia, the Kayans are just a minority group and have extensive traditional tattoos among the women folks. Anthropologists credited them as the pioneer of exquisite tattoos. The other tribes in Borneo got inspirations for their own body of art. This expansion of existing study attempts to make sense of the motifs and to address the intrinsic and extrinsic meanings of tattoo motifs and relate to their lives. Interviews among tattooed Kayan women folk provide the first-hand information about the implications of tattoos. The perspective of visual semiotics and semantics analysis ultimately shed light on the distant past. Keywords: Kayan, Tattoo, Meaning, Motifs eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020. The Authors.
