• Abstract must be bilingual. For a thesis written in Bahasa Melayu, the abstract must first be written in Bahasa Melayu and followed by the English translation. If the thesis is written in English, the abstract must be written in English and followed by the translation in Bahasa Melayu.
• The abstract should be written in one paragraph and not exceed one (1) page.

Remember PS needs more citations compare to Problem Background and it cannot more than 2 pages – should be enough with 3 or 4 paragraph. One paragraph to story about one problem, let say you have 4 paragraph means 4 problems/issues to discuss/to argue/to claim. Usually we have 3 because we have 3 objectives. ‌

• We need to find the remaining issues surrounding the topic you will study, similar to the one you are proposing;
• We need to show the evidence of those remaining issues, cannot simply says the problems without citation (refer your Excel – Google Scholar for citation)
• In PS you need to argue whether you want to improve or enhance the remaining issues.
• In PS we need to highlight what changes would you make for the proposed solution/project?
