It was reported in the mass media that about 60% of Malaysian workers would find it very challenging to survive for more than one week. Due to this, the pandemic has prompted businesses to become more community-focused on supporting government action and offering hands to the needy people of almost all echelons of society. The outbreak has witnessed many organisations coming forward and offering their help in many ways to the people, including the patients, frontliners, and the affected people through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The assistance given in various forms includes food supplies, providing personal protective equipment, and monetary help. This CSR has to some extent, helped Malaysians in facing the challenges of COVID-19. Hence, the objective of this study is to analyse the implementation of CSR for the pandemic of COVID-19 and to what extent it helps in addressing the dilemma of the Malaysian needy. This study uses secondary data, which was collected in early 2021 and thus, covers most of the data in the COVID-affected 2020. The data includes annual reports, newspaper coverage, and companies' news on COVID-19 CSR activities from their websites. The findings reveal that CSR not only contributed to the basic necessities such as food, face masks, and hand sanitisers but also catered to individual development. CSR has provided great support to the Ministry of Health in combating the COVID-19 and mitigating the disastrous impacts for society.","PeriodicalId":171890,"journal":{"name":"COVID-19, Business, and Economy in Malaysia","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132914771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Domestic tourism offers a significant opportunity to support the tourism sector for the recovery of the tourism industry. However, few studies have paid attention to how COVID-19 affects domestic tourists' behaviour in Malaysia. The purpose of this empirical study is to investigate the risk perception of COVID-19 impact on tourists' travel intentions in Malaysia based on the theory of planned behaviour. Additionally, risk perception was integrated as the additional variable to measure the travel intentions in the conceptual model. This study uses primary data collected from October 2020 to December 2020 to examine the variables that could influence the tourist's travel intentions over two different time points, namely before and during the OCIVID-19 pandemic, and covers most of the data in the COVID-affected 2020. In this study, the empirical findings confirm the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and travel intentions toward domestic travel. The findings also indicated that gender significantly impacts tourists' attitudes, norms, behavioural control, and travel intentions toward domestic travel before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical and practical implications of the theory of planned behaviour, together with the empirical findings, have been addressed in the context of tourism to contribute to the recovery of the domestic tourism industry.","PeriodicalId":171890,"journal":{"name":"COVID-19, Business, and Economy in Malaysia","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128001913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this chapter, the concept of the quarantine economy is introduced, and the economy of Malaysia in 2020 is scrutinised as a case of the quarantine economy. To do so, this chapter adopts a critical review approach and relies on secondary data to unpack the peculiarities of the quarantine economy in Malaysia. In doing so, this chapter makes clear that an economy under quarantine as a result of a public health externality can experience both positive and negative impacts. The insights herein this chapter also set the context for the other chapters in this book, which should enable readers to appreciate the events emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Malaysian economy.","PeriodicalId":171890,"journal":{"name":"COVID-19, Business, and Economy in Malaysia","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129128114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
