Global environmental issues such as biodiversity destruction, natural resource depletion, global warming, and environmental pollution are increasing every day and have become a challenge in the implementation of sustainable development (Auwalu, 2015). These environmental problems have gained the attention of the whole world (Asmawati, Nor Ba’yah, & Fatimah, 2011). Rampant exploration of forest lands has threatened the sustainability of resources. Therefore, the problem of resource shortages must be seriously taken as it will otherwise undermine natural resources for future generations. Awareness with regard to the importance of the environment should be emphasised because it constitutes a fundamental component in the efforts at achieving sustainable development goals   ..

This study was aimed to develop a Malay proper noun detection method to cluster and classify  named  entity  categories,  particularly  for  major  important  classes  such  as  person,  location,  organization,  and  miscellaneous  for  Malay  newspaper  corpus. Regular  Expression pattern identification (regex) algorithm and rule were introduced in this study to  overcome the limitation of dictionary and gazetteer.  Two visualization techniques  namely  as   Decision  Tree  and  Term  Document  Matrix  had  been  used  to evaluate the efficiency of the  method.   The result obtained 74% of accuracy during the  generation of  decision tree.    Visualization for term document matrix  achieves  a maximized value of 9.8007403, 9.8718517, and   9.9890683 for Astro Awani, Berita Harian, and Bernama dataset respectively.  As a conclusion, the  regex algorithm could indicate the presence of Malay proper noun, thus making it an appropri.....
