A longitudinal study of the tax capacity and tax effort of the Malaysian state government by Abdul Jalil, Ahmad Zafarullah, Harun, Mukaramah, Che Mat, Siti Hadijah

“…The main objective of this paper is to measure the effort and capacity of the state governments in Peninsular Malaysia for their land tax for the period of 2000-2008 using the Representative Revenue System (RRS).Our findings show that state governments differ significantly in term of their capacity and their effort.The findings of this study also show that there is little movement in the ranking of the state governments with respect to the level of their tax effort.This implies that state governments especially the ones found to be exerting below average tax effort have shown little initiative to change their effort.This in turn may be due to the way the whole tax system is managed…”

Finding meaning behind immortality of Anne Rice’s vampires. by Nurhayati Zakaria.

“…This paper investigates the alluring appeal of immortality through the exploration of humans’ instinctive anxieties against death; it shows how experience in life shapes an individual’s personality and character which in turn is fossilized and magnified during his or her immortal existence; and finally illustrates how the very nature of being trapped in a state of arrested development renders the disenchanted vampire’s perspective of immortality as one that is more limiting rather than liberating.…”
