However, the United Arab
Emirates, particularly Dubai, has
established itself as a regional
leader for Islamic finance for the
GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council a
regional political organisation
consisting of all Arab states of the
Persian Gulf except for Iraq) and
with the United Kingdoms recent
announcement of a 200mil
(RM1.15bil) sukuk and the groundbreaking creation of a new Islamic
index on the London Stock
Exchange last year, London has
now staked its claim as an Islamic
finance superpower.
Of these three centres, Malaysia
leads with respect to the market
penetration of Islamic banking and
its capital markets are more
developed than those of competing
countries.
The regulatory environment is
also more advanced and tailored to
the needs of the sector.
But alongside performance to
date and regulatory infrastructure,
we also need to consider the
underpinning human resource.

Besides architecture and visual
arts such as calligraphy, painting,
ceramics and textiles, Islamic arts
also encompasses literature and, by
extension, the performance arts.
One of the best known pieces of
literature from the Islamic world is
The Book of One Thousand and One
Nights, which is a compilation of
folk tales from the Islamic Golden
Age that has been translated into
various languages worldwide.
In fact, it was during the Islamic
Golden Age that Arabic and Islamic
writings rose to prominence, both
in prose and poetry. Today, prose
and poetry still retain an important
status in the Arab world and they
continue to make their way into
the mainstream literary world

Students should
recognise the
increasing
importance of big
data in software
development.
Equipped for
the future
SOFTWARE development
companies are increasing their
business portfolios to meet the
demands of their clients. As a
result, those with previous
experience in SAP (systems,
applications and products in data
processing) modules are in
demand.
The SAP skills required for
end-to-end implementations
include employee self-service,
management supporting system
and quality management.
Big data, which is defined by
sheer large volume, velocity and
variety of data, generated by
these systems can provide
insights that help companies
uncover new facts.
Business intelligence is not
about how one acquires
information but rather how
information is used in making
business decisions.
Therefore, discerning
companies committed to datadriven decision making are
seeking business intelligence (BI)
and business analytics (BA)
solutions to get ahead of the
competition.
There are some key differences
between BI and BA.
Data-driven companies use BI
solutions to answer what, who,
when and how questions
whereas BA solutions are used to
answer why questions, predict
when something will happen
again and uncover what else the
data shows.
BA is used to gain insights that
inform business decisions and
can be used to automate and
optimise business processes.
Successful business analytics
depend on data quality and the
competence of skilled analysts
who understand the technologies
and the business and have an
organisational commitment to
data-driven decision making.

at the universitys main campus in Kuala

a pre-school in Penang, is a student of AeUs

Chow presented his paper titled A
qualitative study on the teaching and learning
of mathematics through socio-dramatic play
by 5-year-old children in an authentic setting.
During his presentation, Chow
demonstrated how teacher-engineered
socio-dramatic play is effective in promoting
mathematical learning among children,
especially in the area of logical mathematical processing.
Another MEd student, Kalavathy Raman,
presented her research paper Engaging and
enhancing the communicative ability of the
academically challenged youth, which
focused on the study of cognitive load theory
versus the traditional teaching and learning
method in boosting youth self-esteem when
learning.
The events participants found the
seminar interesting and beneficial in
enriching their knowledge.
Ang Kwang Teo, a former senior lecturer
at Universiti Selangor and a student of AeUs
Doctor of Administration (DBA) programme,
says, The research seminar was a
refreshing experience for DBA students to
share their progress and provisional
findings in their respective fields of
research.
