Pusat internet telah ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan di seluruh negara sebagai salah satu usaha untuk memperkasa sistem komunikasi serta tahap sosioekonomi dan merapatkan jurang digital antara komuniti bandar dan luar bandar. Bagi masyarakat luar bandar yang menghadapi halangan berhubung kebolehcapaian dan pemilikan internet serta gadget, pusat internet yang kebanyakannya terletak di lokasi tertentu menjadi tumpuan bukan sahaja dalam kalangan pelajar, malah para pekerja serta penduduk kampung. Penularan pandemik COVID-19 yang melanda masyarakat telah melonjakkan lagi kepentingan komunikasi alam maya ekoran Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang telah membataskan komunikasi dan transaksi secara konvensional. Makalah ini diusahakan untuk mengkaji fungsi dan implikasi pusat internet terhadap masyarakat luar bandar semasa pandemik COVID-19 berlaku, khususnya di daerah Kudat, Pitas dan Kota Marudu yang terletak dalam zon Pantai Barat Utara, Sabah. Gabungan kaedah pemerhatian, soal selidik dan temu bual diaplikasikan bagi mendapatkan data primer bersifat kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang melibatkan seramai 133 responden dan 13 informan terdiri dalam kalangan pengurus serta pekerja di pusat internet, pelajar sekolah, Giatmara dan universiti, guru sekolah dan KAFA, kakitangan kerajaan serta swasta dan ketua serta penduduk kampung. Penemuan kajian mendapati fungsi pusat internet tidak menyerlah dalam kalangan masyarakat luar bandar khususnya semasa pelaksanaan PKP. Tambahan lagi, terdapat dalam kalangan masyarakat yang belum sedar tentang keberadaan serta lokasi pusat internet di daerah masing-masing. Di samping itu, bilangan yang terhad dan lokasi yang jauh dari petempatan penduduk kampung menyebabkan pusat internet tidak dapat berfungsi sewajarnya sebagai medium komunikasi komuniti. Kajian ini turut menyarankan beberapa langkah penyelesaian bagi mengatasi kemelut berhubung internet. Diharapkan kertas kerja ini dapat menjadi pemangkin kepada usaha untuk memperkasakan komunikasi alam maya atau mewujudkan komuniti digital khususnya dalam kalangan masyarakat luar bandar.    The internet centre has been established by the government throughout the country as an effort to strengthen the communication system as well as the socioeconomic level and also to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural communities. For rural communities facing restrictions pertaining to internet accessibility and gadget, the internet centre which mostly located at certain locations has become a centre of attraction among students, employees and villagers. The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the community has boosted the importance of virtual communications due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) that has restrained conventional communication and transactions. This paper has been undertaken to study the functions and implications of the internet centre among rural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic particularly in Kudat, Pitas and Kota Marudu districts which are located at the Northwest Coast zone of Sabah. A combination of participant observation, survey and in-depth interview were applied to obtain quantitative and qualitative primary data involving 133 respondents and 13 informants comprising of managers and employees at the internet centre; secondary, university and Giatmara students; KAFA teachers; government and private employees and also the villagers. The findings showed that the internet centre was not standing out or functioning well among the rural communities especially during the MCO. In addition, some villagers did not aware of the existence and location of internet centre at their respective areas. In addition, the limitation in terms of quantity and distance or location of the internet centre has contributed and resulted towards its malfunction as a medium of communication among the rural communities. The study suggests several solutions to overcome the internet crisis pertaining to internet centre among the rural communities. It is hoped that this paper will become a catalyst in an effort to empower virtual communications or create a digital community particularly among rural communities.

The objectives of this research: 1) what factors become a problem so that school cooperative still not become sharia based school cooperative? 2) How is the strategy to realize sharia cooperative in school? This research used a qualitative approach, i.e., Analytic Network Process (ANP). In applying the ANP method, the researcher does the following: 1) structuring the hierarchical complexity into the homogeneous clusters of the factors, 2) performing the measurements into the ratio scale at all the lowest levels of the hierarchy/ network, 3) synthesizing. Data used in this research is primary data collected from questionnaires and in depth interview with experts, the policy holder, students, and teacher coach. The results of the research show that 1) The factors that become the problem of difficulties in realizing sharia-based school cooperatives are less student participation, limited capital and infrastructure, knowledge of sharia co-operatives that are less good than students and teachers, and lack of coaching from the local cooperative office. 2) There are two strategies as a solution, i.e., an internal strategy which is the policy of school leadership to support the establishment of sharia-based school cooperatives; And external strategies that should be carried out by the government to support and develop sharia cooperatives including sharia-based school cooperatives.

This paper focuses on examining the ICT diffusion by studying an initiative of the Malaysian government to bridge the digital divide that exists across the country's urban and rural communities. This is achieved through investigating the operation and the experience of a typical Rural Internet Centre. The findings of this study showed that there is keen interest among the community to learn and sharpen their ICT-related skills. The Internet Centre serves to provide an avenue for the realisation of this goal. The study showed that despite some operational snags, the Internet Centre performed well. One of the by-products of the centre was that its activities fostered closer relationships among users; it provided an avenue for disparate community members to interact and share their new skills. Bringing the ICT usage and appreciation to the rural areas was successful. About half of the centre users made weekly visits during which they searched for information on the internet, sent and received e-mail and attended the Internet Centre's regular IT classes. They also saw it as a valuable communication channel and a potential leveller of the technological capability gap.

COVID-19 is a major health threat across the globe, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, and it is highly contagious with significant morbidity and mortality. In this paper, we examine the feasibility and implications of several phases of Movement Control Order (MCO) and some non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) strategies implemented by Malaysian government in the year 2020 using a mathematical model with SIR-neural network approaches. It is observed that this model is able to mimic the trend of infection trajectories of COVID-19 pandemic and, Malaysia had succeeded to flatten the infection curve at the end of the Conditional MCO (CMCO) period. However, the signs of ‘flattening’ with R0 of less than one had been taken as a signal to ease up on some restrictions enforced before. Though the government has made compulsory the use of face masks in public places to control the spread of COVID-19, we observe a contrasting finding from our model with regards to the impacts of wearing mask policies in Malaysia on R0 and the infection curve. Additionally, other events such as the Sabah State Election at the end of third quarter of 2020 has also imposed a dramatic COVID-19 burden on the society and the healthcare systems.

Digital divide is referring to the gap between demographics and regions that have access to modern information and communications technology, and those that don't or have restricted access such as internet. The digital divide continues an important public policy debate that encompasses social, economic and political issues. This research focuses on to identify internet accessibility factors at Pulau Tuba Langkawi. In this research study, we focus on surveying internet accessibility and conducting an interview using quantitative study. Internet accessibility is conducted using OpenSignal application. OpenSignal is application to build a network coverage map of cellular network. For second method, quantitative survey was conducted by interviewing and questionnaire, with the sample size of the survey is 30. From this research, the results show only two spots which has good internet coverage which are near a primary school which are government owned premises. On the other hand, the area along the beach has moderate to bad internet coverage and certain place such as Lubuk Chempedak has very limited internet coverage. From quantitative survey, majority of population has average competent level of knowledge and skills to use the internet application such as email, online banking etc. Furthermore, the results show that majority of population strongly agreed that internet has the potential to increase their income and market their local product to bigger market. However, majority of them unable to use the internet and benefits from it due to poor internet accessibility. Therefore, more IT educational program and training should be given, and the government and local authority must play its part to improve the internet infrastructure so that the population did not continue being left out from the development of digital economy.

The country has been facing the Covid-19 crisis that has affected the rest of the world in this decade. Numerous approaches and alternatives are implemented by the government in order to overcome this pandemic either controlled or stopped utterly. In order for the government to succeed, the emphasis on breaking the chain of infection of Covid-19 and the direction of the Movement Control Order (MCO) must be strengthened. Thus, the main goal of this study is to identify the level of patient’s knowledge regarding Covid-19 and Movement Control Order (MCO) as well as to analyse the relationship between the level of knowledge about Covid-19 and Movement Control Order (MCO) among patients who come for treatment at the Kinarut Health clinic. This study applies the quantitative research methodology, specifically surveys through questionnaires, whereas the sampling method used is convenient sampling with a total of 200 patients involved within the Kinarut area. Analysis of instrument evaluation and sampling technique is also discussed in this study. The results showed that the level of knowledge of the patients about Covid-19 was at a moderate level with a mean value = 3.610, SP = 0.345. The level of knowledge relating to Movement Control Order (MCO) is also at a moderate level with a mean value = 3.610, SP = 0.345. Meanwhile, correlation analysis showed that there is a strong relationship between the level of knowledge about Covid-19 and also the level of knowledge of the Movement Control Order (MCO), with a correlation value of r = 0.71, p> 0.05. Thus, the results of this analysis show that there is a strong relationship between the variables of the knowledge level of Covid-19 and Movement Control Order (MCO) in breaking the chain of infection Covid-19 particularly among patients living around Kinarut.
