The analysis method for reliability was by using Cronbach Alpha to attain the reliability value. Cronbach Alpha aims to view the internal consistency of a test construct. Back translation and committee approach was utilized to translate the instrument into the Malay language. Correction and adaptation were applied if there was confusion in comprehending the content of the questions in the instrument. Research findings show that this instrument possesses very high reliability when administered within the population of research respondents.
