Malaysia was developed under the political concensus among the multi-racial political leader. The struggle of the founding fathers of Malaysia led to the birth of an independence nation by 31 August 1957 as Tanah Melayu and became Malaysia after the joining of Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore on 1963. This article was written to analyse the experience of the coalition of multi-racial leaders in the struggle of independence using the historical approach. The understanding on this coalition will contribute to the new approach for the next generation to appreciate the concept of multiracial coalition as a fundamental for the future of Malaysian identity. Based on unity and harmony, inter-racial relations can be nurtured and always be preserved for the sake of an independent Malaysia. Failure to understand the past will cause a nation to fall back into the arena of racial strife and riots that will not benefit but harm the country. The implication is the collapse of an independent nation that .....

Chromolaena odorata has reported to have medicinal value due to the presence of active compounds which have antimicrobial and wound healing properties. Therefore, this study was carried out to formulate the antimicrobial cream from C. odorata extract used for wound healing treatment. The study aims to screen the secondary metabolites and determine C. odorata extract concentration for antimicrobial activity to be used in cream formulation. The leaves were extracted in 95% methanol and 95% ethanol for secondary metabolite screening and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Chromolaena odorata extract with a concentration of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% was performed for antimicrobial activity tested on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The best of C. odorata extract concentration was used in six formulations of antimicrobial cream. The stability test was performed on all cream formulations. The methanolic extract .....

Force-velocity imbalance (FVimb) has been proposed as an effective tool for pre-scribing training loads to improve physical performance. An optimized training program was used according to individual Fv-profile to decrease FVimb thus indirectly improving sprint performance. This systematic review aimed to study the effectiveness of optimized training based on force-velocity (Fv) profiling in sprint performances among young athletes. The database of Google Scholar, ProQuest, Scopus, and PubMed was conducted in March 2022, and studies published since 1990 were considered for inclusion. A total of 2873 publications were initially identified, of which 6 studies qualify for this review. The studies were independently evaluated for methodological quality and evidence of specific training effects on optimized training. Altogether there were 244 highly or semi-trained athletes (205 years,80 13kg). This review suggests that optimized training based on Fv-profile was more efficient than the gene.....
