However, only a few studies focus on the user experience (UX) of LED desk lamps. Therefore, this study adopts the importance-performance analysis (IPA) model, with the aim of exploring strategies to enhance the UX of LED desk lamps. We evaluated the key factors of UX based on the importance and actual performance of LED desk lamps for users. By analyzing the results, we proposed strategies to improve LED desk lamps, thereby potentially improving the consumer experience and market competitiveness of LED desk lamps.

Since the establishment of formal modern design education in Malaysia, there have been numerous attempts to understand the Design DNA that can be representative of Malaysian products or Malaysian Design Heritage. However, unlike other studies, Malaysian Design Heritage has not been explored from a historical perspective. This is also because formal modern design and design education only began in Malaysia in 1967, to reach its fiftieth year in 2017. These studies nonetheless, has set precedents towards building a framework for a National Design Heritage from a historical perspective, providing a platform for future product branding and aligning national level design activities. Following that, the paper hopes (1) to propose that formally archived artefact in Malaysia is an adequate comprehension of the nation’s design activities, (2) to identify visual form characteristics attributable to the design identity of modern Malaysian artefacts, based on form, content and context analysis and finally (3) to identify the scope of Industrial Design activities in Malaysia since its introduction in 1967.

It is the second largest state in Malaysia with current population of 2,449,389 according to Housing Census of Malaysia. The population is mainly concentrated on coastal areas of which is divided into 32 officially recognized ethnic groups, of Sabah's population. The largest indigenous ethnic group is the Kadazan- Dusun (roughly 25% of the total population); followed by the Bajau (15%), and the Murut (3%). The largest non-indigenous group are the Chinese, who make up for about 20% of Sabah's population. The number of languages listed for Sabah is 54. Of those, all are living languages and Current literacy rate is at 58%.

Leaded by the public negative perception, it has forced relevant authorities to look into these crimes. The initiatives however are found to be more practical for the urban areas, as compared to the rural areas which were populated by mostly the elderly residents. Hence, the elderly people less participating in such programmes. It was further found that the rural area crime's index will be on the rise if rural residents fail to implement and adopt appropriate precaution measures. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe the factors that lead to house break-ins in the rural areas using experiential approach and recommend an innovative design as a solution to prevent house breaking problem.
