Abstract
Public relations (PR) are nothing new to the present day global community. In fact, mankind had begun to exercise PR since the day we first decided to live together. Since then, an essential beacon of wisdom in the history of mankind was planted. The birth of the modern PR began in 1948 when the Public Relations Society of America and the Institute of Public Relations in Britain came into existence. Today, the influence of this communication field has engulfed almost all professions of global organizations. Majority of these organizations apply the public relations principles and practices into their organizational structures. This paper began with the historical backgrounds of the international PR culture, studies, and definitions. From there, the discussion penetrated deeper into the realm of Malaysian PR culture. These areas dealt with many aspects of the PR, i.e. professional ethics, social and legal contracts. These efforts are in the purpose of giving a considerable share of opinions on how understandings upon the Malaysian PR culture differ in many dimensions of definitions and practices. At the end of this paper, readers are presented with contemporary threats and challenges of the field. This concept paper dealt with the past, the present, and the future uncertainties of the PR field. Whether we are aware or not, PR today has been put to a maximum use for managing social stress in facing globalization. Yet, the forces of tolerance and brotherhood grant the country confidence in facing any challenges and threats in a near future. Indeed, the world of global PR is changing inconsiderately. Come what may, Malaysian chose to brave up a journey of her own in the field of public relations uncertainties.

Abstract
Halal has evolved tremendously in the recent years. Previously, there is no demand on halal market. Halal is only targeted for Muslim consumer throughout the world. The practice has been there traditionally. However, halal has been the centre of economic discussion in recent years.

Many Muslim countries take this economic opportunity to grow their halal market, Brunei Darussalam is not an exception.

Abstract
The Islamic economic sector has grown rapidly in Malaysia and in the world including culinary, Islamic finance, Islamic takaful (insurance and mortgage) industries, fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, and tourism. Islamic tourism is seen as a new way of developing the tourism industry in Malaysia as well as in line with ethics, culture and Islamic values. Islamic tourism is not defined as a visit to the mosque alone, but the visit is closely related to nature, culture, or creativity that integrates with Islamic values. Currently, the concept of adherence to Islam (which has been called as Shariah-compliant) has become a trend in the global economy, from food and beverage products, to lifestyle and finances. As a new lifestyle trend, many countries are beginning to introduce tourism products related to halal concept or Islamic orientation. Even countries like Korea, Japan, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, and so on that are not Muslim-majority countries have helped in developing Islamic tourism prospects and products. The term Islamic tourism still has no clear boundaries and still uses various terms such as Halal Tourism, Halal Friendly Travel Destinations, Halal Travel, Islamic Travel Destinations, Halal Lifestyle and more. Even in Malaysia, the concept of Islamic tourism is also unclear. According to some Islamic tourism experts, tourism is a complementary product and does not eliminate the type of conventional tourism. As a new way of developing Islamic tourism in Malaysia itself, defending Islamic culture and values, efforts should be made to enhance Islamic tourism without eliminating the uniqueness and authenticity of Islamic culture and tradition. Islamic tourism is not only related to religious values but also must be in line with every way of life that is not contrary to Islam. The potential and prospects of Islamic tourism in Malaysia are still not maximized, whereas if we work more seriously, the potential of Islamic tourism in Malaysia is huge. Not many companies and agencies organize halal tourism packages because they think it is not a necessity and a profit while the actual fact is the opposite. Many companies are more focused on routine Islamic tourism such as Umrah and Hajj.

Throughout the Malaysia, there are numbers of mosques architectural typologies had been identified, with the range of vernacular, colonial, modernism and up to modern contemporary architecture style. Malaysia has various mosques in the country and has adopted different architectural designs inspired by varying ethnic subcultures, periods of colonialism, foreign influence, technology utilization, and the political environment. In this research, three contemporary mosques selected. Generally, the architectural styles of the modern mosque can be classified into two categories. The first category is the modern styles which emphasize the advancement in building technology and engineering (i.e. Masjid Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin). The second category of the modern mosque is the Islamic influences which incorporate the styles of many mosques found in Islamic countries including Turkey, the Middle East, and Northern Africa (i.e. Masjid Putra). This research will attempt to formulate framework in reevaluating the contemporary mosque of both types through identifying and documenting the unique attributes of these mosques as well as taking into account how the tourists perceive these attributes to prioritize Malaysia as their No. 1 Islamic tourism hub.

Abstract This paper explores the uniqueness of Adet Bojojak as one of the traditional rituals and practices of Rawa community in Gopeng Homestay. Rawa community was initially migrated from Sulawesi, Indonesia and settled down in all across Malaysia. However, the majority of this population are well-known in Gopeng, the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Interestingly, the present Rawa cultural practices are a mixture of Malay and Javanese influences when they married to the local people, culture and lifestyle. This study was conducted through the qualitative research using the participant observation, in-depth interviews and field notes with the residents of Gopeng Homestay.

Abstract
Di seluruh dunia, Islam dan penganutnya terpalit dengan imej buruk hasil daripada propaganda dan pembohongan yang tidak berasas agensi media utama dunia. Fenomena ini menjadikan kehidupan umat Islam begitu mencabar kerana telah dilabel dengan pelbagai persepsi negatif yang telah didoktrinkan oleh media Barat. Sebagai suatu langkah penjernihan maklumat, media Islam harus menjadi wadah dalam mempromosi Islam yang sebenar dan dalam masa yang sama menangkis propaganda Barat yang menuduh Islam sebagai agama pengganas, menindas wanita dan menyebabkan menganutnya mundur. Catatan menunjukkan bahawa masyarakat Islam di rantau ini sangat erat dengan media sejak zaman-berzaman Di Malaysia, media lahir dalam pelbagai bentuk bagi tujuan hiburan dan menyampaikan mesej yang mana berevolusi daripada media warisan (wayang kulit), media cetak (akhbar, buku, majalah), media elektronik (TV dan radio) sehinggalah media baru (internet). Malah kandungan media yang dekat dengan hati nurani masyarakat adalah berdasarkan acuan sosio budaya tempatan. Sejarah membuktikan bahawa Malaysia telah mengambil tindakan yang tersusun dan holistik dalam memastikan keberadaan media Islam membantu kepada matlamat utamanya. Terdapat empat era penting sepanjang perkembangan rancangan TV Islam di Malaysia. Era-era inilah yang kemudian membentuk saluran dan televisyen Islam di Malaysia. TV Islam mempunyai matlamat yang bertanggungjawab kepada masyarakat. Kandungan TV Islam tidak mementingkan rating. Ia berfungsi untuk menyampaikan kebenaran yang hakiki, mendidik, membentuk minda dan sikap sepertimana tuntutan Islam. Dalam masa yang sama, penerbit juga menghadapi cabaran tersendiri dalam menerbitkan program TV yang islam tersebut.
