Introduction
This section briefly about the issue view in a global and national context, problem statement, purpose of the research, the significance of the study, the structure of the paper and relevant research that has been done. Authors are encouraged to cite the latest and high-impact papers related to the research field. The citation should be presented as a numbering system. For example, if it involved single references, as stated in [1]. If two or more consecutive references are involved: [2-5], otherwise stated in [1], [3] and [20]. Define abbreviations for the first time used in the text, even if they have already been defined in the abstract. Well-known abbreviations such as SI unit (m, kg, s, etc.) do not have to be defined. Consecutive abbreviations should not have spaces: write as “D.A.A.M.”, not “D. A. A. M.” Authors need to ensure, at least three sentences can be considered as a paragraph and cited articles is named as Salleh et al. if involved 3 authors and more. Abbreviation needs to be declared at first in the respective paragraph before being used.

Title
The title is auto-format. The title must be brief and reflect the contents of the manuscript. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable. The first letter of the title should be capitalized with the rest in lower case except for proper nouns.

Author name
The * represents the corresponding author. The style for the names is initials then surname, with a comma after all but the last two names, which are separated by ‘and’. The numbering system is used for the author’s current affiliation. Please ensure that affiliations are as full and complete as possible and include the country.

Keywords
Keywords is auto-format. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

Methodology
All the titles of the subsection should be presented justify in Arial Narrow font of size 10-Sentence case as Heading 2 style, while the equation should be presented by using the Microsoft equation of Cambria Math (or MathType) font 10 in justify format. Any source: coding or algorithm will be presented as the Courier New font of size 9 in justify format. This section must describe the methodology in detail: research design, sampling, data collection (if necessary).

Results and Discussion
This section contains interpretation data, summary of findings, limitations, implications and suggestions for future research.

Figure

Figures should be self-explanatory and contain a short but adequately detailed caption. Figures should be provided in one of the following formats: PNG, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, BMP. The figure(s) should have a resolution of 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour. All figures must be numbered sequentially in the text in the same order in which they appear (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2).  Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b) are examples of multi-part figures in which each component should be labelled. The figure(s) caption should be written in sentence cases and placed underneath the image, centre aligned, with no period at the end of the caption.

Table
Tables should be self-explanatory and include a concise yet sufficiently descriptive caption. Tables should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and referred to in the text by number. Table legends should follow the main text, each on a separate page. Tables must be submitted as editable text and not as images. Footnotes can be used to explain abbreviations but should not include detailed descriptions of the experiment.

Conclusion
The conclusion is auto-format. This section will answer the objective of the manuscript. Don’t replicate your abstract here.

Acknowledgment
Acknowledgment is auto-format. This section should acknowledge institution(s), funding source and individual assistant in separate paragraph. Author(s) must ensure that anyone named in the acknowledgments (institution/agency/individual) agrees to being so named.  

Author Contributions

Authors are encouraged to provide an author statement file describing their specific contributions to the article using the appropriate author contribution roles to increase transparency. The author’s contributions statement should be provided during the submission process, and it appears below the acknowledgement section of the published article. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all authors agree on the accuracy of the descriptions. All authors' roles should be mentioned, using the appropriate categories underneath. Authors may have played a variety of roles in their contributions

Declaration of Originality

The authors declare no conflict of interest to report regarding this study conducted.

References

The title of REFERENCES is presented in Arial Narrow of size 11- UPPERCASE with Heading 1 style. Meanwhile, the rest of all the contents in the APPENDIX should be presented in Times New Roman font of size 9 as Normal style. Line spacing is single with spacing set 0pt before and 4pt after, and 1.13cm indented to the right. The references should follow the Vancouver style. The following are a few examples of references that are listed in the Vancouver Style:
