Vaccine success stories in eradicating infectious diseases such as smallpox and polio have long been acknowledged. However, the function of vaccines is not widely known currently as these diseases are low profile. Studies have shown that social media users have always disseminated the harmful effects of vaccines on health without referring to valid and credible sources. This has led to an increase in anti-vaccine sentiment among the public and contributed to vaccine refusal around the globe, including Malaysia.

Pengaruh bahasa Arab telah meresap ke dalam bahasa Melayu. Kemasukan perbendaharaan kata bahasa Arab ke dalam bahasa Melayu menyebabkan wujud kosa kata pinjaman bahasa Melayu yang berasal daripada bahasa Arab. Selain itu, pengaruh bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ibunda memberi kesan kepada pelajar dalam menguasai bahasa Arab. Pengetahuan dan pengalaman bahasa pertama sering digunakan oleh pelajar semasa mempelajari bahasa asing. Hal ini menimbulkan kekeliruan kepada pelajar dalam memahami dan menguasai struktur frasa bahasa Arab. Ini kerana, struktur frasa adjektif berbeza antara bahasa Arab dengan bahasa Melayu. Oleh demikian, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan jenis frasa adjektif dalam bahasa Arab dan bahasa Melayu serta mengkaji aspek persamaan dan perbezaan dalam kedua-dua bahasa berdasarkan cerpen karya Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti dan Shahnon Ahmad.
