We are thrilled to present to you a new scholarly journal, the Multidisciplinary Journal of Sustainability, which is an international open access, peer-reviewed journal. Introducing a new journal has been a challenge. However, there is a dire need to establish a new journal that gathers scholarly articles on regional and international issues on all facets of sustainability. What set us apart from other journals on sustainability is our commitment to highlight input from industry players and corporate sectors in the academic discourse on sustainability. An industrial note is a non-scholarly, short communication from industry players (public and private sectors) on their challenges, contributions, and other remarks relevant to sustainability. We believe that the inclusion of industrial notes is a testament of our commitment in inclusivity. This journal creates a platform to converge the insights of multidisciplinary among academics, practitioners/ industry players, government agencies and other stakeholders in providing the holistic views, current findings and practical implications to benefit readers and the community concerned with issues on sustainability.
We are also pleased to have a diversed editorial board consists of established national and international scholars. In the future, it is our great honor to showcase more manuscripts from scholars all over the world. As you read through the first volume of the Multidisciplinary Journal of Sustainability, we would like to once again encourage submission of quality manuscripts for possible inclusion in this journal.
We appreciate your support as we endeavor to make this journal the signature journal on sustainability in the region. Heartfelt thanks to all of the authors who have contributed their expertise and knowledge to this issue. We hope that their insights will inspire and inform our readers as they seek to better understand the importance of sustainability and the many ways in which it impacts our lives.

Current Issue (Volume 4, Issue 1)
We are pleased to present Volume 4, Issue 1 of the Multidisciplinary Journal of Sustainability (MJoS). This issue continues our mission to promote critical, cross-disciplinary scholarship that contributes meaningfully to the evolving landscape of sustainability, both locally and globally.
The articles featured in this volume reflect the rich diversity of sustainability-related research. They go beyond environmental concerns to address themes such as social resilience, community empowerment, inclusive education, and ethical economic behaviour. Collectively, the studies highlight how sustainability is deeply embedded in everyday systems, behaviours, and decisions, ranging from managing risks in flood-prone areas to innovating in agriculture, and from enhancing workplace learning to improving educational access and support.
Several contributions explore how communities respond to environmental challenges, offering valuable insights into adaptation strategies and participatory approaches. Other papers examine sustainability in human-centred contexts, including knowledge sharing in the workplace, zakat practices, traditional food heritage, and the sensitive yet crucial conversations around autism diagnosis and support in schools.
What unites these studies is a shared understanding that sustainability is not confined to one domain. It is a dynamic and interconnected pursuit grounded in environmental responsibility, social equity, cultural relevance, and economic sustainability. The local contexts featured in this issue, including Sarawak, Malaysia, and parts of Nigeria, provide meaningful contributions to global discussions and solutions.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and editorial team for their continued commitment and contributions. It is our hope that this issue inspires thoughtful engagement, further research, and collaborative action toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.
