Reclaiming Adat
In the early 1990s, the animist and Hindu traces in adat, or Malay custom, became contentious for resurgent Islam in Malaysia. Reclaiming Adat focuses on the filmmakers, intellectuals, and writers who reclaimed adat to counter the homogenizing aspects of both Islamic discourse and globalization in this period. They practised their project of recuperation with an emphasis on sexuality and a return to archaic forms such as magic and traditional healing. Using close textual readings of literature and film, Khoo Gaik Cheng reveals the tensions between gender, modernity, and nation. Khoo weaves a wealth of cultural theory into a rare analysis of Malay cinema and the work of new Malaysian anglophone writers. Reclaiming Adat makes an essential contribution to our knowledge of the complexities embedded in modern Malaysian culture, politics, and identity.

Drug Discovery and Development : Prospects and Challenges (IIUM PRESS)
This book is written to provide a brief overview concerning the latest drug discovery and its development based on the research studies that have been carried out until the present. The idea of preparing this book was inspired by the Holy Qur’an and the hadith, which guides us in all aspects of life, including disease management and treatment. This was supported by the traditional use of natural medicine by our ancestors. From the scientific point of view, we translate all those knowledge and information to be evidence-based modern medicines. We practised the common process of drug discovery development by identifying the potential molecule, followed by in vitro and in vivo experiments. The formulation is a crucial process to produce an efficient and effective drug delivery. Not to forget the future vision that “things would not give any meaning if it is not giving benefit to the people”. Commercialisation is one of the approaches to promote the product across the market and community. The book ends with the current issue of the COVID-19 global pandemic with regards to the treatment, natural medicine, and vaccination.
