ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to ALLAH S.W.T for giving me the guidance and strength in making this research project proposal a success. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all those who helped me navigate this long and fruitful journey.
Sincerest thanks go to my supervisor Mr. Mohd. Raizamzamani Bin Md. Zain for his guidance, knowledge, patience, supervision and encouragement towards me in preparation of this study. His are ever dynamic and also his dedication in encourage of young researcher. Not forget, great appreciation go to my friends for their co- operation in completion this project.
Finally, to my family, their love and care have brought me to this level. Their substantial encouragement and generous support have helped me to succeed. I also would like to say thank to everybody for those who help me even either directly or indirectly, because without their help, I think it is impossible for me to complete this proposal. May ALLAH S.W.T bless us all.
