Translingual practice as a representation of heritage languages and regional identities in multilingual society
By drawing attention to the translingual practices in Malaysian Mandarin (MM), this study uses lexical variations as an analytical lens through which the changes in linguistic dimensions can be viewed from a social perspective. We present translingual practice as a communicative, rather than a pedagogical, resource that has broader applied relevance in multilingual society. Two findings are presented. First, we elaborate on how MM is interwoven w…
Dynamic prolonged effects of crime on tourism demand for Thailand National Parks
This study examines how past crime interacts dynamically with word-of-mouth (WOM) recommendations to affect tourism demand, using a panel dataset of 132 Thailand National Parks from 2010 to 2019. Using the system-Generalized Method of Moments approach, our findings demonstrate that crimes at tourist destinations not only have an immediate impact on tourism demand but also prolong ramification by diminishing the beneficial effect of WOM recommenda…
The Happiness-Economic Well-Being Nexus
This paper explores whether happiness-led growth policies implemented in some countries are viable for achieving better economic well-being proxied by GDP per capita using a panel dataset covering 104 countries from 2006 to 2018. While past studies showed that economic growth promotes happiness, this paper applied the panel Granger causality test to show that GDP per capita is also determined by happiness. Accordingly, the pooled ordinary least s…

Dependence Structure Between Renminbi Movements and Volatility of Foreign Exchange Rate Returns
This article investigates the linkages of the movements in Renminbi (RMB) to volatility of exchange rate returns of other currencies before and after the yuan devaluation on 11 August 2015. A comparison between the onshore Chinese yuan (CNY) and the offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) is made. Standard regression methods underestimate the tail dependence between yuan and other exchange rate volatility, as financial data are non-normally distributed, espe…
The impact of religion on language maintenance and shift
This article explores religious impact on language maintenance and language shift in two Hakka communities in Malaysia. While research has shown a trend towards language shift in these communities, whether religious institutions can play a role in heritage language maintenance remained unclear. The key findings are as follows: (i) language use patterns differ among various religious groups; (ii) this difference is due mainly to religious practice…

There has been an increase of number of population health indices since the last review published more than a decade ago. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of existing population health indice…

China’s technological progress is as spectacular as the growth of its economy since 1978. Technology indicators place China just behind the United States, which has a much higher per capita income. China’s progress is material to Southeast Asia because its per capita income, being similar to that of the Association of South East Asian Nation’s, will have considerable relevance for this region; and China’s technological advance will probably inten…
