...Over the past few decades, Malaysia has experienced both growth and decline economically. Relying mainly on exports, this country is predicted to experience a more stable growth period between the years 2011-2015. GDP is predicted to increase in the future years and investments in the country will be the main factor of this economic growth (Economic Forecast, 2011). With a population of 28.3 million and an expected population growth rate of 1.7%, this country provides an excellent opportunity for exporters looking to invest in another country by way of goods and services (Profile, 2011). In order for exports in Malaysia to be successful however, one must understand the values and subcultures Malays possess in order to market to them appropriately. This report will focus on the influences of these concepts on the behaviour of Malaysian consumers in comparison to Australian consumers. This report will also highlight the importance of understanding certain cultural differences and their implications for marketers if Australia is to export goods and services to Malaysia. Religious Subcultures The concept of subcultures, more specifically religious subcultures, is an important aspect of consumer behaviour to consider. Strongly held religious beliefs and customs can exert a significant influence upon the values people hold. These values may include choosing to adopt a simple and humble existence devoid of materialism or choosing to lead a lifestyle that balances simplicity and materialism...

...Introduction Malaysia consists of a federation of fourteen states. Article 4(1) of the Malaysian Constitution states that the supreme law of the federation is the Constitution. Malaysia follows the Westminster model of government. The Cabinet headed by the Prime Minister exercises executive power. Both the prime minister and Cabinet answers to the parliament. The Monarch appoints the Prime Minister. He is the leader of the ruling party in the lower house (House of Representative) of the Parliament. Members of the lower house are elected for fiveyear terms. Members of the upper house (Senate) consist of two senators elected by each state legislative assembly and the Monarch appoints the rest. Senators serve for six years. The House of Representatives is the main legislative body. The Senate only has delaying powers over legislation. Members of the executive are also members of the legislature. The executive practically makes law. The executive and legislative branch in Malaysia could be conveniently be categorised together. The term executive and legislature in the Malaysian context actually refers to the same entity exercising different functions. This is coupled by the fact that the ruling government has been able to maintain a two-third majority in Parliament ever since independence. Several significant legislations such as the regular use of Emergency powers under Article 150 of the Constitution and the Internal Security Act 1960 has led to the erosion of civil liberties...

...in this country. Asset purchases can be made possible via murabahah and ai bai bithaman ajil financing.[1] For business expansion and start up, the al- ijarah, mudarabah and musyarakah products have good potential. But if someone needs cash to pay debts or settle a down payment, buy shares, house renovation or even to go on a vacation. The above instruments may not help us get the cash we want. A pawn broking operation is relatively straightforward. The borrower simply needs to place a pledge or security for the amount of debt needed. Rahnu is a means of providing short term financing to the public by pawning his/her jewellery to banks or pawnshops as a security. It is one of the microcredit and financial instruments for low income earners seeking financial assistance to meet their fast working capital needs. [2] The inclusion of syariah regulation in the banking system in 1983 has encouraged its implementation in other finance institutions such as insurance, trust unit and Islamic pawn broking (ar-rahnu). The main reason is to eliminate interest which was imposed by pawn brokers as payment from the cash being loaned. The effect can be seen by the emergence of two pawn broking systems in Malaysia, namely the conventional pawn broking system and the Islamic pawn broking system. Rahnu principle is mainly used for Islamic pawn broking services in Malaysia. Under rahnu, valuable item is collateralized to a debt which may be utilized as payment if the debt is...

...MALAYSIAN PRACTICE OF AR-RAHNU SCHEME: TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT By: Azila Abdul Razak Introduction The important of helping the needy especially the poor has long been emphasized in much of Islamic faith. Therefore, lending to the needy should be the main focus in Islamic finance. In this context, the Islamic pawnshop (ar-rahnu scheme) is the most appropriate mechanism as it provides a financial product for the lower-income group and small businesses which usually have limited capital or have been excluded from the mainstream financial system. Prior studies have shown the importance of Islamic pawnshop to the Muslim societies1. Before the implementation of the Islamic pawnshop system, the conventional pawnshops had charged high interest rates on the loans given. The conventional pawnshops were more motivated on making profit from the needy individuals and this activity was only restricted by the laws in the Pawnbrokers Act 1972. The conventional pawnshops had indeed oppressed and put a burden on the lower-income group. The purpose of the Pawnbrokers Act 1972 was to guarantee a healthy pawnshop industry, as well as safeguarding the interests of the consumers. However, it failed to control the problems of the oppression of the lower income group and the pawnbrokers’ malpractices. In fact, it seemed to encourage the practice of usury, with high interest rates of 2 percent per month, or 24 percent per annum. The high interest rates make it difficult for the consumers to reclaim their...
