Recent times have seen social media influencers becoming the foundation of ‘influencer’ based marketing practices. This phenomenon raises certain legal concerns, including the issue of disclosure. This study examined influencer marketing practices in Malaysia on Instagram and explored Malaysia’s need to review its regulation, especially when it comes to disclosure. Although preliminary, the findings of this study give an overview of the marketing practices undertaken by these influencers and the lack of disclosure of ‘material connection’ between the business or brand and the influencers. It is concluded that Malaysia needs to acknowledge this concern and revised its laws. Keywords: disclosure; influencer marketing; social media; regulation eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2021. The Authors.

This paper presents a study of students’ awareness, experiences and perceptions on teaching-research nexus in three universities in Malaysia, namely UiTM, UIA and UKM. The findings are based on the results of the questionnaires of 480 students. In line with the previous research, the results indicate that students are moderately aware of the research activities of their lecturers. Nevertheless, many of the students participating in this research perceive clear benefits to teaching and learning from the research activities undertaken at their university, their experiences on research aspects, and the academicians’ involvement in research. The results of the study could be applied to the discussion of particular strategies that may be used to strengthen the nexus between teaching and research to benefit the undergraduates’ learning experience in these institutions.
