Malaysian Science Fiction in the Mahathir Era (1981-2003): From “Knowledge Society” to “Lingkungan Teknikal” (Technoenvironments)

This study focuses on misinformation and disinformation (MDI) in social media in Indonesia and Malaysia during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It will be essential for scholars working on Asian-African studies and will als…

Malaysia's Niche in International Higher Education: Targeting Muslim-majority, Commonwealth, and Less-developed Countries
In 2010, more than 87,000 international students were studying in Malaysia. The Malaysian government wants to increase the number of international students to more than 200,000 by 2020. The case of Malaysia as an emerging player in international education is particularly interesting as it is not only one of the first former colonies of a European country to achieve such high international attractiveness, but also one of the first Muslim-majority …

Orientalism and Conspiracy: Politics and Conspiracy Theory in the Islamic World
As the ice around the Arctic landmass recedes progressively further each year, the territory has become a flashpoint in world affairs. New and lucrative trade routes from East to West are now becoming accessible for shipping lanes and military deployment, and the Arctic is known to be home to large gas and oil reserves. Yet the territorial boundaries of the region remain ill-defined. In response to these geographical changes the Scandinavian coun…

Electronic Orientalism? the afterlife of Syed Hussein Alatas' The Myth of the Lazy Native in online databases
