Malaysia is a country that since its independence has endeavored to practice democratic governance. In line with this, it seeks to ensure that the Malaysian government is representative of the will of the people. To achieve this, there must be in place numerous mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency while also ensuring that it has an ‘ear to the ground’ so to speak. Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib believed that transformational leadership posts the leader in the role of mentor whereby he able to designate responsibilities to his followers as a means to achieve self-actualization which is a positive means of promoting team-building efforts. To achieve the goals shared between him as a country’s leader and Malaysian peoples as his followers, he believed that inspirational motivation is needed, as it provides meaning to achieving this shared vision on ‘ how to make Malaysia as a high-Income Nation by 2020’?. PM Mohd Najib has been successful in articulating a compelling vision of the Malaysia’s future and tied a high-income nation’s vision to Malaysians citizen values, and ultimately he is capable of being a ‘transformational leader’. It is to this end that this paper is committed, namely to analyzing the important role played by PM Mohd Najib towards outlining a clear vision of national development and whether this is in line with the objective of maqasid shar’iyyah. For this, PM. Mohd Najib appears to have opted to pursue ‘The Government Transformation Programme (GTP)’ to address seven key areas concerning Malaysia’s interest in realizing Malaysia’s vision to become a high-income nation by 2020. =========================================== Malaysia adalah negara yang sejak kemerdekaannya telah berupaya untuk melaksanakan tata kelola pemerintahan yang demokratis. Sejalan dengan ini, ada usaha untuk memastikan bahwa pemerintah Malaysia merupakan perwakilan dari kehendak rakyat. Untuk mencapai hal ini, harus terdapat banyak mekanisme untuk menjamin akuntabilitas dan transparansi sekaligus juga memastikan bahwa ia memiliki 'telinga ke tanah'. Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib yakin bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional mengganggap pemimpin sebagai mentor yang mampu menunjuk tanggung jawab kepada anggotanya sebagai sarana untuk mencapai aktualisasi diri yang merupakan sarana positif dalam mempromosikan upaya pembangunan tim. Untuk mencapai tujuan bersama antara Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib sebagai pemimpin negara dengan bangsa Malaysia sebagai pengikutnya, ia percaya bahwa motivasi inspirasional diperlukan sebagai makna untuk mencapai visi bersama tentang 'bagaimana membuat Malaysia sebagai negara berpenghasilan tinggi pada tahun 2020’? PM Mohd Najib telah berhasil dalam mengartikulasikan visi yang menarik dari masa depan Malaysia, dan berhasil mengikat visi pendapatan nasional yang tinggi untuk kepentingan warga Malaysia, dan akhirnya ia mampu menjadi 'pemimpin transformasional'. Ini adalah tujuan penulisan jurnal, yaitu untuk menganalisis peran penting yang dimainkan oleh PM Mohd Najib terhadap penguraikan visi yang jelas dari pembangunan nasional dan apakah ini sejalan dengan tujuan shar'iyyah maqasid. Untuk itu, PM Mohd Najib tampaknya telah memilih untuk mengejar 'Program Transformasi Pemerintah Program ' untuk menyelesaikan tujuh bidang utama mengenai kepentingan Malaysia dalam mewujudkan visi Malaysia untuk menjadi bangsa yang berpenghasilan tinggi pada tahun 2020.

The need for a new economy is great and the obstacles are many: growing inequalities within and between nations and regions, new complicity between corporations and non-democratic political regimes and failure of workers worldwide to make common cause. There are alternative models, indicating that a more egalitarian approach does not necessarily reduce living standards. Environmental degradation cannot be addressed by a technological fix: the threat to our long-term survival is pre-figured in the impact of climate change and corporate rapacity on the land and sea resources of the indigenous minorities who live as humanity has lived for most of its existence. A 10-point plan for a follow-up to the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals is suggested, but it will work only if solidarity networks can be built across divides of ascribed race, religion and nominal income levels, to express the will of the people in place of the government representatives who are prepared to gamble the future of humanity for corporate profit and power.

The Cuban Revolution meant transformations in all directions (eco-nomic, political, legal and sociocultural) depending on the internal and external contexts that took place. A Revolution; a country for workers, peasants, petty bourgeois and progressive intellectuals, where everyone was to be revolutionary. A Revolution; a policy of interaction that in-cludes the former marginalized sectors and links them with other sec-tors of the society without class distinction, proclaiming them all as equals. A Revolution that needed a new way of thinking, of behaving, of socializing, of living, under the principles of socialism. National cinematography has reflected these incidents ahead of historiography in many of his speeches. His keen gaze reveals the Changes made, dia-logues with them reflecting new codes, patterns and realities. It exposes the scenario in which society develops and the solutions adopted by the government and the people in the face of vicissitudes showing the Rev-olution in its entirety. The paper proposes a look at cinema as a histori-cal source from the analysis of five film that reflect different moments of national development. Namely: Memorias del subdesarrollo, De cierta manera, Páginas del diario de Mauricio, Larga distancia and Sergio y Serguei.

Are China’s fake-fighters (打假, dajia) heroic consumer activists or morally dubious profit-seekers? Do they make the marketplace safer for ordinary consumers by using the law to “fight” fake, dangerous and falsely advertised goods, or benefit only themselves through the exploitation of legal loopholes? Since the 1994 Consumer Protection Law introduced a fiscal incentive that made fake-fighting a viable career, its practitioners have struggled to define their work against these stereotypical characterisations. In this empirical article, I show that fake-fighters reject criticisms of their motivations while at the same time avoiding censure by party-state authorities wary of activism couched in terms of rights by framing their work as a practice of moral citizenship. Fake-fighters believe it is their responsibility to highlight potential dangers in the marketplace, disseminate legal knowledge, and, crucially, prompt the government to enforce pre-existing laws to better protect consumers and advance national development.

The public sector, operated through local/ state governments is the most important instrument in management and administration of a nation. Apart from delivering services and sustaining national development, it is also the social institution entrusted to restore law and order of a nation. These functions and responsibilities indicate direct relationships with morality, ethics and social justice. The district office is the closest level of the government to the people. Hence, issues of ethics and integrity are clearly seen as the people whom they serve directly and who are affected by the government. This paper reports on a pilot study conducted at a district office in Malaysia to investigate employees’ responses on awareness initiatives to imbue ethics and integrity at the workplace through a questionnaire with mixed methods. This study has positively found that the district office employees are highly aware of ethics and integrity. They perceive that all initiatives taken at the workplace to create ethical awareness are highly effective and their understanding of ethics and integrity is high (Mean: 4.34 and 4.25 respectively). Posters are viewed to be the most effective medium to create awareness, followed by websites and signages. Superiors, as role models have taken a committed responsibility to remind subordinates through various channels of communication on ethical values and integrity. However, there are still employees who do not seem to be aware of the information provided on ethics. In addition, less than half of the respondents (46.3%) are directly involved in the launched ethics campaigns in office. The study findings will draw some insights on effectiveness of initiatives taken at ground level to create ethical awareness among the public-sector employees as Malaysia transforms her socio-economic landscape in the globalization era.

There are three strategies carried out by religious leaders in educating religious harmony in their people, especially those related to external harmony.First, the strategy of educating people in the internal harmony of religious people. In this case all religious leaders each agreed to foster their people to live in harmony and peace. Of course this direction is in accordance with the teachings of the respective books. Second, the strategy of educating their people to get along with other fellow religions. They try their best so that every people always respect and respect other religions, they cannot force the will of their religion, they must not mutilate each other and also not harm other religious people. This is also stated in the scriptures in each religion. Third, the strategy of educating the people to get along well with the government. all religious teachings order that they always have good relations and respect for their government. This is because all realize that we live in the same country, namely the Indonesian state in one power and government. So respecting, respecting and fulfilling government rules is a must. The strategy to maintain the integrity of the NKRI was also agreed upon by all religious leaders. They agreed that if the basis of the Indonesian state is Pancasila, don't change it again. This is because so far what can unite all religious teachings in Indonesia is Pancasila. For this reason the NKRI is intact and will remain intact if all religions maintain the Pancasila.

The Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo in its basic provisions has constituted the principle of separation and control of the balance between state powers as a fundamental principle of democracy, by designating representative bodies belonging to state powers such as Parliament, Government, and Judiciary. In addition, the Constitution sanctions other state bodies that have a constitutional character and together create the form of governance in the Republic of Kosovo. Among them also the President functions as a constitutional body exercising the executive duty and having ceremonial competencies. The President in Kosovo is a neutral authority because he/she is a representative of the people’s unity. The authorities in Kosovo create a "check and balance" among themselves for the normal functioning of the state. Kosovo is considered a parliamentary Republic, not sanctioned by the constitution but implied based on the decision of the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo.In addition to electing the Government, the Parliament also elects the President of the Republic, so in this study, we will address the function of the President, the exercise of his duties, his competencies, and his relationship with other state bodies. We will also analyze the system of governance and the principle of separation and balance of powers, with special emphasis on the constitutional position of the President in the Republic of Kosovo. Among other things, we will address in particular the complexity of the procedures for the election of the President of the Republic of Kosovo. Considering the ongoing problems that have accompanied the presidential elections in the Republic of Kosovo and that continue to be so, it is necessary to clarify whether “the constitutional reform initiative for the President of the Republic of Kosovo to be voted by the people is considered the most current and best way of overcoming the present parliamentary stalemate in the election of the candidate for the President of the Republic, as well as whether the implementation of this reform is conditioned by the will of the political parties and the people”. In general, from the stated scientific elaboration of the topic, we can conclude that the intention of this paper consists in determining the constitutional regulation of the institution of the President of the Republic of Kosovo applied in the parliamentary system, empirical elaboration of problems that accompanied the election of presidents in the Republic of Kosovo as well as the immediate need to change the manner of electing the President of the Republic of Kosovo.

The cleric in this study is "one who knows and has a wide range of religious knowledge and becomes a model of society". In this period of reform, change occurs in every aspect of people's life, whether economic, political, social and religious life. The change is fundamental and takes place within seconds, even difficult to guess. This of course brings the impact of confusion and uncertainty for the community in determining their life step. Indications of society's attitude are now increasingly crystallized as seen from their behavior patterns. Whether or not the public's view of the ulama has been experienced is a shift in especially those involved in the party's activities and entering the power environment. The people who were respectful and willing to listen to the words of the ulama are no longer less indications that they are engaged in activities that are contrary to the will of the ummah or who are not successful in their mission. Therefore, to restore the image of the ulama, the government once discourse the certification to this circle.   Ulama  dalam peneltian ini adalah “orang yang mengetahui dan dan memiliki ilmu   agama yang luas dan menjadi panutan  masyarakat”. Dalam masa  reformasi ini,  perubahan  terjadi pada setiap aspek kehidupan masyarakat, baik  ekonomi, politik, sosial dan kehidupan keagamaan. Perubahan tersebut  bersifat  mendasar  dan berlangsung dalam hitungan detik, bahkan sulit untuk ditebak. Hal ini tentunya  membawa dampak kebingungan dan ketidakpastian  bagi masyarakat  dalam menentukan langkah kehidupan mereka. Indikasi sikap  masyarakat  tersebut saat ini semakin mengkristal yang terlihat dari pola tingkah laku mereka. Disadari  atau tidak pandangan masyarakat  terhadap para ulama telah mengalami pergeseran teutama pada mereka yang terlibat dalam kegiatan partai dan masuk dalam lingkungan kekuasaan. Masyarakat yang tadi hormat dan mau mendengarkan perkataan ulama  sekarang  tidak lagi  apalagi ada indikasi mereka terlibat dalam kegiatan yang bertentangan dengan kehendak ummat atau yang  tidak berhasil dalam misi yang diembannya. Oleh karena itu, mengembalikan citra ulama maka pemerintah pernah mewacanakan  melaksanaka sertifikasi  terhadap kalangan ini.
