All her responses are just ""noted" No correction was being made by the applicant. Leader just acknowledged the comment without any correction Despite the twice guidance by the evaluator, the applicants have not shown much attempt to correct, fine-tune & adjust the proposal to be of a sound quality. The proposal is poorly written. The research problem lack clarity and the description on research approach is weak. The proposal is not well prepared. There is lacking of fundamental issue to be addressed. It is difficult to identify the novel knowledge that this project may bring as the background studies and all other information provided are weakly supporting the proposal Ok Poor Not clear The title does not reflect a fundamental research in the field of ICT and information systems Title shows applied research, rewrite title focusing on the problem of low cost CCTV Rephrase the title to reflect novelty to the study. Revisiting is not a novelty The novelty of the proposed study was not mentioned. Overall good proposal but it is not suitable for FRGS as the proposal entails applied research. Recommend for escience The proposal fails to meet FRGS criteria Budget does not tally with the depth of research proposed Budget too high. Applicant should refer to FRGS guideline and attend briefing" The proposal is more towards a social science/ behavourial type of research, and does not fit into the health and clinical science cluster The wrong choice of cluster is evidenced here where psychology is the mainstay of the research project rather than religion. 25

The problem statement needs to be strengthened. Research questions and research objectives are not aligned. The proposal has potential, but its weaknesses have to be firstly ironed out. The title does not reflect the fundamental research that the proposal intends to undertake. the proposal is more towards applied research the relationship studies failed to indicate the fundamental research Novelty of the work and research outcome is not well explained in the executive summary The write-up is not convincing that any novelty would arise from this research. The proposal did not meet the criteria of a fundamental scientific research. It is appropriate to apply for a Social Science Grant. Nature of work is developmental and exploratory in nature. Objectives involve mainly synthesis and characterization of developed material.does not support fundamental criteria of FRGS funding Unconsistency budget planning (GRA) However, the proposal was written with full carelessness, inconsistency with budget and output The understanding of allotment of budget materials need to be studied further. Also the research background and track record of the team members are not incoherence with the proposed work. From the information given, none of the team members have ever written on the topic of sukuk. The leader has one FRGS grant scheme which is in progress -The members should have at least one senior researcher Coming up with a needs analysis framework cannot be regarded as cutting edge research.

37 Executive Summary of Research Proposal (maximum 300 words) Congestion problem is one of the catastrophic issues in power system. A few decades ago congestion was not serious issues in power system due to the fact that load increment is substantially not critical resulted from slow development. However, in recent years power demand has increased accordingly resulted from industrial plants in many countries. The existence of new industrial areas and with the immensity of populations had led to as a congestion problem in power system. The current traditional technique is found to be troublesome since it involves heavily mathematical equation, solved through linear programming and dynamic programming. This has demonstrated the complicated solution to power system operators. This project proposes a different approach which begins with the fundamental mechanics of swarm algorithm for solving the power system model. Decision making processes which will be based on Fuzzy logic technique, hybridized with swarm algorithm are considered new in power system studies. The ability to Fuzzy approach is extracted and will be hybridized will the swarm algorithm to tackle the problem, through the off-line studies. The study begins with the accumulation of related knowledge and revision on the previous technique related to congestion management and optimization techniques. It will be followed by the design of algorithms for optimization of congestion and optimization engine will be developed accordingly. The power system model will be utilized to validate the workability of the proposed technique. The aspiration of Malaysia Prime Minister, YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak to make Malaysia as a high income country is profoundly a brave and very determined decision. In line with that, the Prime Minister has formed portfolio at the ministry level to consistently assess the performance of government body through the National Key Results Area (NKRA). All ministries have been directed by the government to enhance their productivity through Research and Development activities in broad aspects so as to ensure Malaysian Citizens are at par with the high income group country. Research and Development activities have been initiated by several government bodies so as to realize the government aspiration. On the side of Science and Technology, Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KETTHA) and Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) are among the several bodies which have been striving to achieve the government vision. On the sides of MOSTI, KETTHA and MOHE, electrical energy is always an issue since the electricity demand is progressing non-linearly. 37
