Frontmatter -- FOREWORD -- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -- Hashtag Campaigns during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia: Escalating from Online to Offline

Sommario/riassunto

Hashtag campaigns on social media enable users to express their sentiments on various issues and mobilize people to be part of a movement or cause; they have been used effectively by disenfranchised members of society against powerful elites. While some are of the opinion that online campaigns are ineffective due to ""slacktivism"", such campaigns can spill over to offline protests, especially if there are strong emotions such as anger, or a sense of injustice or social deprivation, spurring people on. The earlier hashtag campaigns in Malaysia--#AntaraDuaDarjat (#BetweenTwoStatus) and #DengkiKe.

Sommario/riassunto

The most important contribution to this book comes from the authors, all of whom have been students of the unemployment insurance program for many years. They share a common belief in the importance of unemployment insurance as a critical component of the American social insurance system as well as the need for comprehensive reform of the system to assure its effectiveness and efficiency in the 21st century.
