General 1.1 Before 1 January 1949, the principal form of nationality was British subject status, which was obtained by virtue of a connection with a place within the Crown's dominions. On and after this date, the main form of nationality was citizenship of the UK and Colonies, which was obtained by virtue of a connection with a place within the UK and Colonies. 2. Meaning of the expression 2.1 On 1 January 1949, all the territories within the Crown's dominions came within the UK and Colonies except for the Dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland, India, Pakistan and Ceylon (see "DOMINIONS") and Southern Rhodesia, which were identified by s.1(3) of the BNA 1948 as independent Commonwealth countries. Section 32(1) of the 1948 Act defined "colony" as excluding any such country. Also excluded from the UK and Colonies was Southern Ireland, although it was not an independent Commonwealth country. 2.2 For the purposes of the BNA 1948, the UK included Northern Ireland and, as of 10 February 1972, the Island of Rockall, but excluded the Channel Islands and Isle of Man which, under s.32(1), were colonies. 2.3 The significance of a territory which came within the UK and Colonies was, of course, that by virtue of a connection with such a territory a person could become a CUKC. Persons who, prior to 1 January 1949, had become British subjects by birth, naturalisation, annexation or descent as a result of a connection with a territory which, on that date, came within the UK and Colonies were automatically re- classified as CUKCs (s.12(1)-(2)).

  • 206 EILEEN CHANIN, Limbang Rebellion. Seven Days In
    206 Reviews EILEEN CHANIN, Limbang Rebellion. Seven Days in December 1962. Singapore: Ridge Books, 2013 (reprinted by Pen & Sword Military, 2014). XXII, 249 pages, $28.00. ISBN 978-9971-69-775-4 (pbk) This book is family history, military history, colonial history and political history in one. The rebellion of the title took place in Borneo during the decolonisation era. The author, Eileen Chanin from the University of New South Wales, is a prize-winning historian. Her new book, many years in the making, is based on extensive research in Sarawak (Malaysia), Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom (pp. 205–36). She also trawled the archives of the Imperial War Museum, the Royal Marines and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Telling use is made of her own family’s papers: her parents-in-law were Richard and Dorothy Morris, an Australian in the British Colonial Service and his wife, who were taken hostage by rebels in Sarawak in 1962. They were released unharmed following military action by a vastly outnumbered detachment of Royal Marines. Five com- mandos were killed and six wounded during the engagement. Captain Richard Holywell Morris OBE SMB (1915–2000), an only child of Anglo-Welsh heritage, with but a “patchy education” (p. 28), arrived in Borneo in 1945 with the Australian Imperial Force. After the war he was appointed to the Sarawak Civil Service, in which he served until his retirement in 1964. By November 1962, when he took up his appointment as Resident (administrator) of the Limbang District, he had worked in all five administrative divisions of the crown colony, in addition to a long spell (1954–8) in neighbouring Brunei.

Increased access to previously remote tropical for- est following logging and changes in land-use facilitates hunting of elusive wild cattle in Borneo, which preferentially select secluded habitat. We collated the first population parameters for the Endangered Bornean banteng Bos javanicus lowi and developed population models to simulate the effect of different hunting offtake rates on survival and the recovery of the population using reintroduced captive-bred individuals. Our findings suggest that the banteng population in Sabah is geographically divided into 4 management units based on connectivity: the Northeast, Sipitang (West), Central and Southeast, which all require active management to prevent further population decline and local extinction.

  • Evolution of Sape: from Longhouse to the International Stage
    EVOLUTION OF SAPE: FROM LONGHOUSE TO THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE Connie Lim Keh Nie* Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Kot Samarahan, Malaysia Mohd. Fadzil Abdul Rahman Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Kot Samarahan, Malaysia *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sape, a boat lute shape, plucked stringed musical instrument played among the Kayan and Kenyah people in Central Borneo and the Dayak in Kalimantan Indonesia. This musical instrument is often used as the symbol in promoting Malaysia in the areas of arts, culture and tourism. It is also the symbol of the state of Sarawak. In Sarawak, sape is the traditional instrument of the Kenyah, Kayan, Kelabit, Penan and other ethnic tribes of Orang Ulu community living in Kapit, Bintulu, Miri, Limbang district. Over the past 40 years, the instrument is brought to travel and perform in different parts of the world by different sape players. This shows that the sape music which is traditionally played to accompany dances during festivals and as a form of entertainment in the longhouses and villages is now performing at musical festivals such as the arts, cultural and tourism pro- motions in various countries. Hence, this paper aims to trace the development of sape in terms of its physical structure and the evolution of sape from the perspective of its performance practice and repertoire. Keywords: Sape, Musical Instrument, Evolution, Performance Practice INTRODUCTION Once the name of the musical instrument ‘sape’ is uttered, what came across the majority’s mind is the image of a guitar like instrument played by plucking the strings.

However, reports concerning the incidence and spread of cholera in these countries are infrequently made available to the international community. Cholera is endemic in Sarawak, Malaysia. We report here the epidemiologic and demographic data obtained from nine divisions of Sarawak for the ten years from 1994 to 2003 and discuss factors associated with the emergence and spread of cholera and its control. In ten years, 1672 cholera patients were recorded. High incidence of cholera was observed during the unusually strong El Niño years of 1997 to 1998 when a very severe and prolonged drought occurred in Sarawak. Cholera is endemic in the squatter towns and coastal areas especially those along the Sarawak river estuaries.
