Korean Wave or also known as 'Hallyu' in the Chinese Language, symbolises the global acceptance of the Korean cultural industries. It started in the 1990s and became a recent phenomenon all over the world. The Korean Wave also impacts the Malaysian youths. It can be seen in the Malaysians' youth followings of trends where it gradually influenced the lifestyle choices of foods, cosmetics, entertainment, and technology from the influence of Korean products. A growing demand for Korean food leads to increasing number of Korean food establishments in Malaysia. Nevertheless, only a few of the establishments have halal JAKIM certificates. Getting a halal certification from JAKIM (Malaysia's Halal authority) is necessary for business, but certain food industry players are left wondering if the effort is worth it. Therefore, this study aims to explore challenges to get the Malaysian Halal Certification for Korean food restaurants in Malaysia. After identifying the obstacles involved, this research also examines the challenges in obtaining Halal Certificates among Korean Food Entrepreneurs in Malaysia. The approach of this study involves data collection methods through literature review followed by field study through numerous interview sessions with selected Korean restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and members of Malaysian Korean Fans Club. It is found that there is now more than 60 per cent of Korean food operators that are successful in getting halal certification compared to the past. The data from this study can help the industry understand that getting halal certification is not complex, with clear cut procedures, despite many challenges the industry needs to go through.

'Halal' is currently being pursued in many consumer products, including those that containing nanomaterials or regular materials manipulated at nano-scale level. As the governor of Halal affairs in Malaysia, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) is responsible to ensure regulatory approval for nano-based products must be consistent with the Halal parameter set out under Syariah law. Despite Halal certification in this area also remains low in Malaysia, there is a need to investigate the approach to regulating nanotechnology products in order to see if protection of consumers is guaranteed; and whether Halal and safety mechanisms for consumer products are vigilant enough. In realising these aims, this paper takes nano-based food products as a case study. Through analysis, this paper provides an original perspective of how can the existing Halal legal framework adequately covers nanotechnology products. It will involve, firstly, the discussions of the Trade Description Act 2011 or TDA 2011 (as well as the Trade Description (Definition of Halal) Order 2011 and the Trade Description (Certification and Marking of Halal) Order 2011) and legislations governing the two specific sectors. Secondly, it examines whether the existing Halal legal framework is capable of dealing with more complex and sophisticated technology-based products like foods that contain nanomaterials or using nanotechnology. In setting out the parameter of whether the existing regulation is adequate to protect consumers, it highlights legal and regulatory issues relevant to safety regulation of nano-enabled food and cosmetic products. The paper finds that the current Halal legal framework has covered all consumer goods and products, including nano-based products. Indeed, the products are also subject to specific Halal monitoring and enforcement similar to other Halal approved products. This is also in tandem with the concept of Halal Thoyyiban that permits any goods for consumption as long as they are safe and do not cause harm. However, within this it should not be forgotten that such products/technology remain the subject of considerable research as this technology is relatively nascent and the safety/ risk threshold has not been fully ascertained.

Lambakan filem daripada Barat di Malaysia mencetuskan kebimbangan dalam kalangan masyarakat. Hal ini kerana pembikinan filem-filem tersebut bukanlah sekadar cerita, namun sarat dengan elemen falsafah dan budaya daripada Barat, tidak terkecuali juga elemen agama. Perkara ini secara tidak langsung memberikan pengaruh yang cukup besar terhadap pemikiran dan pegangan umat Islam terutama kepada golongan yang belum memiliki akidah yang mantap terutama kanak-kanak. Kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsep pengakhiran dunia menurut kefahaman Barat dalam filem bertajuk "Terminator Salvation". Kajian yang menggunakan pendekatan kajian perpustakaan ini menyoroti dan menyelami kandungan yang terdapat dalam filem ini dan menghubungkaitkan dengan konsep pengakhiran dunia menurut kefahaman agama yang dianuti di Barat. Hasil kajian mendapati babak-babak dalam filem ini mempunyai kaitan yang signifikan dengan pengakhiran dunia menurut ajaran yang pelbagai, saling bercampur aduk seperti Kristian, Yahudi dan lain-lain; tanda-tanda kedatangan kiamat, konsep salvation, kedatangan Mesiah, dan tarikh perkiraan berlakunya kiamat. Kajian ini berperanan penting dalam membongkar agenda tersembunyi khususnya dalam usaha menyebarkan ideologi-ideologi Barat ke dunia Islam.
