Citing Malay author Sharifah Hafsah Razak: 'Sharifah Hafsah' or 'Razak'?

In general, Gaya UKM uses an authorname-date system to make citations in paragraphs. It takes a family name as authorname.

Complete name: Barack Obama
Citation in text:  Obama (2010) or (Obama 2010).

For Malay names, Gaya UKM applies a different rule compared to general citation format. The author's name is used as authorname, instead of the family name.

Complete name: Sharifah Hafsah Razak
Citation in text: Sharifah Hafsah (2009) or Sharifah Hafsah Razak (2009), instead of Razak (2009)

Reference: Panduan Penulisan Tesis Gaya UKM, page 19

Write and Graduate! Success is in your hand.

  1. Salam. Kalau contoh nama writer Nur Suri Hani Razak, dalam text akan cite Nur Suri Hani (2015)? Betul ke?
