Resilience plays an important role in entrepreneurship; however, an in-depth study of the factors that affect the resilience of Asnaf entrepreneurs is unknown. This paper aims to fill this knowledge gap by delving deeper into the challenges that affect the resilience of asnaf entrepreneurs thus hindering their business expansion. The study also observed the ability of asnaf entrepreneurs to deal with economic shocks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In-depth interviews conducted with 2 executive officers of the entrepreneur development sector and 10 LZS enforcers who supervise 901 asnaf entrepreneurs throughout Selangor present an overview of the impediments that hinder the business progress of asnaf entrepreneurs. From 901 asnaf entrepreneurs, a total of 25 asnaf entrepreneurs were selected based on the criteria that have been outlined, namely those who run food-based businesses and have undergone the LZS micro-entrepreneurship program for more than 6 months. Constraints experienced are analyzed. Three essential themes that enlighten challenges in fostering entrepreneurial resilience emerged, namely; the role of family members, non-tech savvy and fear of failure. These themes are discussed based on the methodology used and the findings of previous studies. The findings provide an insight that is useful for LZS in designing entrepreneur development instruments and organizing periodic entrepreneurship modules.

The study investigated the motivational needs of secondary school students and their intentions to pursue higher education. The descriptive survey method was utilised. This study’s sample was comprised of 137 students in grades four and five in secondary schools in Langkawi Island, Malaysia. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were utilised. The results indicated that these students have high educational aspirations concerning physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, and self-improvement needs. The survey also revealed that the need for self-improvement influences the educational ambitions of students pursuing tertiary education. Other motivational elements, including physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, and self-esteem needs, have no statistically significant relationship with students’ plans to pursue postsecondary education.

The rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae is one of the famous insect pests that cause the low quality of the rice seeds. Fimbristylis miliacea, Fimbristylis globulosa and Cyperus iria are sedge weeds that are common near swampy areas. These weeds are classified as potential due to their high nutritional value and chemical compound content. Natural compounds from plant extracts prove the potential to develop as a new natural bio-insecticide in terms of agriculture usage. Cyperus iria, Fimbristylis globulosa and Fimbristylis miliacea extracts were screened for their secondary metabolite constituents. All extracts at a concentration of 1% were also evaluated for their feeding and fumigant toxicity against Sitophilus oryzae. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of terpenoids, saponin, and phenolics in Fimbristylis miliacea extract. Fimbristylis globulosa extract contains flavonoids, terpenoids and phenolic. Phenolic and flavonoid compounds are also included in Cyperus iria extract. However, Fimbristylis miliacea extract showed the strongest feeding toxicity against Sitophilus oryzae at a mortality of 100% at the highest concentration starting after 6 hours, while the other extracts had moderate feeding toxicity with a mortality rate (50-80%) at a low of concentration. Fimbristylis miliacea extract also showed a higher repellency in the fumigant toxicity at (100%) maximum in 5 hours.
