Abstract
The existence of Muslim-Buddhist conflicts in the Southeast Asian region such as in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand is based on the perception that Islam is a threat to Buddhism. While in Malaysia, although the relationship between the Muslims and Buddhists remains in harmony, there is a certain perception among Buddhists towards Islam. Hence, this article will discuss the forms of Buddhism’s perception of Islam in Malaysia. The study was qualitative using document analysis. The study found that particular group of Buddhists in Malaysia had a negative perception of Islam, particularly on the implementation of Islamization policy by the government and the Islamic resurgence movement in Malaysia. This perception is based on misunderstanding of Islam which is seen as a threat to the survival of Buddhists in practicing their teachings. The study recommends the empowerment of understanding between the religious adherents through Islamic-Buddhist dialogue at various levels of government and NGOs.

Summary
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been receiving increasing attention since its inception in the 1950s. The process of education involves learning that focus on the values, attitudes, and behaviours which enable individuals to learn to live together in a world characterised by diversity and pluralism. This indicates that education and academicians have a novel role to play in shaping and changing the future generation as well as the society. The research paper undertakes to study the indirect effect of Internal CSR practices between PRESOR and Employee Engagement in the education context. The findings of this research would add values to the body of knowledge in the context of the role of ethics and social responsibility together with Internal CSR practices among academicians in the education setting. This research paper is organised into seven sections with the first section purveying the background of the study, followed by the literature review, research framework, research methodology, data analysis, findings, and discussions; and end with limitations and future research
