Abstract: Vocabulary is a vital part of English second language education. Unfortunately, the teaching and learning process is challenging for students as regular classroom activities have become tedious and boring, which does not motivate them to learn. Not only that, but this also discourages them from practising outside of the classroom. To help encourage students to become more motivated in learning and improving their English vocabulary, teachers need to consider more creative activities to be used in the classroom.

Unleashing teen pregnancy in Malaysia and the revolving health care issues

Year: 00/12/2023
Abstract: Increasing teen pregnancy cases are becoming a serious public health concern in both developing and developed nations for past decades. Teenage pregnancy occurs among adolescent girls between 10 and 19 years old. A recent study reveals that 14 out of every 1,000 female teenagers in Malaysia become pregnant every year. Such prevalence suggests there is still a lack of general understanding of reproductive health matters among the teenagers. The issue of teen pregnancy requires considerable attention to prevent more social and health problems such as more unintended pregnancies, baby dumping and extensive spread of sexually transmitted diseases within society.

Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2015
Abstract: Malaysia population will be estimated to reach aging population by 2035. This projection was inflated by many factors. One of the factors that influence the demographic changes is fertility. Malaysia is already at the level of substitute of total fertility rate (TFR) and this number was decreasing by time. From previous studies showed that fertility desires can predict the subsequent fertility behavior. There is always a disjoint between desired and actual family size. The difference between the actual number of children and the desired number of children is called unmet fertility desired. Since Malaysia is having a declining Total Fertility Rate (TFR), the dynamics of the difference between actual number of children and the desired number of children must be examined. Past research on fertility desires found that the rising age at marriage, economic factors, infertility, and social factors were the important factors that will affect the fertility desired. Also, education level, early and late childbearing, locality and household income influenced the unmet fertility desires.

Universal health coverage in Malaysia: issues and challenges
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2014
Abstract: Socioeconomic development in Malaysia, over the past few decades, has led to the improvement and expansion of the public healthcare system. This system has provided universal access to a low-priced package of comprehensive health care leading Malaysia to claim to have achieved universal health coverage (UHC). However, the Malaysian health landscape is changing rapidly. Provision of private care has grown especially in large urban towns, mainly in response to public demand. Thus far, private care has been predominantly bought and utilised by the rich but because of differentials in quality of care between the public and private sector, unabated expansion of the private health sector has the potential to adversely affect universal access to care. This effect may be accentuated in the coming years by demographic changes in the country specifically by the ageing of the population. This paper is intended to highlight challenges to UHC in Malaysia in the face of the changing health landscape in the country and to offer some suggestions as to how these challenges can be met.
