SADA BORNEO gained popularity for representing Malaysia in AXN's ASIA’S GOT TALENT 2015 and being the only Malaysian that made it to Semi Final stage. The show was aired in 20 countries across Asia. Sada Borneo has also received the IKON NEGARAKU 2017 AWARD by the Prime Minister Office.

Instrumentation-wise, we featured various traditional music instruments such as Sapeh and recreate the sounds of nature elements to produce a contemporary sound.” – SADA BORNEO From left (sitting) : Alvin, Bob, Hallan, Wilker, Hilmi, Julian From left (standing) : Allister, Nick ABOUT THE BAND SADA BORNEO'S music formula includes reviving traditional music, fresh and contemporary elements into their music arrangement and composition. The band loves to experiment with various kinds of musical instruments, ranging from traditional to modern musical instruments. In live performances, SADA BORNEO's instrumentation consists of Sapeh, bungkau, kompang, guitar, keyboard and adapting the sounds of nature into their music. Some of the examples of nature elements are the sounds of rainfall, thunder, frog and chirping birds to emulate ambiance of the rainforest. In 2013, they released their first single ' SADA BORNEO ', which are named after the band. The 1st single, “SADA BORNEO” has made the top 1st most downloaded song in Singapore and Brunei, and top 23 in Malaysia. SADA BORNEO has just recorded two new records called Dedicated To You and SADAbration and will be released in January 2017. HISTORY OF THE BAND SADA BORNEO was formed out of the friendship between the members who have been performing together since 2012 in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). The creation of SADA BORNEO began when Hallan Hashim and Wilker met during their first year in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in 2011. They found themselves to have similar passion in music and it brought them together. Since then, they started performing for various events as a duo. They also performed for Malam Bumi Kenyalang (MBK) in 2012, a Sarawak cultural night organised by USM's Sarawak student society; Perkumpulan Anak-Anak Sarawak (PERKASA). The year 2013 saw the formation of SADA BORNEO as they were invited again to perform for malam bumi kenyalang. Alvin, hilmi, allister and a few more friends joined hallan and wilker to perform for MBK 2013. During the sound check for that event, they were asked to come up with a band name and settled on the name 'SADA BORNEO', which means ‘the sound of Borneo’. MBK 2013 was the very first time they performed live using that name. In 2014, SADA BORNEO started to expand in its line- up and now consists of 8 members.All members are close friends in USM prior to becoming a band. Later that year, the band gained popularity for representing Malaysia in AXN's Asia's Got Talent, aired in 20 countries across Asia. SADA BORNEO's participation in AXN's Asia's Got Talent was the highlight of their music career, having to be the only representative from Malaysia as a semi-finalist. Sada Borneo during Semifinal at Asia’s Got Talent 2015 SADA BORNEO is hoping to continue the legacy of rich tradition of Malaysian music by reviving traditional music to make it more appealing to the younger generations with their contemporary-orientated arrangements. Currently, they look forward to recording more music by end of this year. As a young Malaysian, they wish to continue the legacy of Malaysian music.

  • Language Use and Attitudes As Indicators of Subjective Vitality: the Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia
    Vol. 15 (2021), pp. 190–218 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24973 Revised Version Received: 1 Dec 2020 Language use and attitudes as indicators of subjective vitality: The Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia Su-Hie Ting Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Andyson Tinggang Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Lilly Metom Universiti Teknologi of MARA The study examined the subjective ethnolinguistic vitality of an Iban community in Sarawak, Malaysia based on their language use and attitudes. A survey of 200 respondents in the Song district was conducted. To determine the objective eth- nolinguistic vitality, a structural analysis was performed on their sociolinguistic backgrounds. The results show the Iban language dominates in family, friend- ship, transactions, religious, employment, and education domains. The language use patterns show functional differentiation into the Iban language as the “low language” and Malay as the “high language”. The respondents have positive at- titudes towards the Iban language. The dimensions of language attitudes that are strongly positive are use of the Iban language, Iban identity, and intergenera- tional transmission of the Iban language. The marginally positive dimensions are instrumental use of the Iban language, social status of Iban speakers, and prestige value of the Iban language. Inferential statistical tests show that language atti- tudes are influenced by education level. However, language attitudes and useof the Iban language are not significantly correlated. By viewing language use and attitudes from the perspective of ethnolinguistic vitality, this study has revealed that a numerically dominant group assumed to be safe from language shift has only medium vitality, based on both objective and subjective evaluation.

  • An Islamic Model of Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution: Lahad Datu in Sabah As a Case Study
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Vol 9 No 3 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) Social Sciences May 2018 Research Article © 2018 Malik et.al.. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). An Islamic Model of Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution: Lahad Datu in Sabah as a Case Study Ahmed Abdul Malik* Muhammad Khairi Bin Mahyuddin Najib Sheikh Abdisamad Mikail Ibrahim Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM), Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia *Corresponding Author Doi: 10.2478/mjss-2018-0056 Abstract Conflict is an inevitable part of human life. In any situation involving more than one person, conflict can arise. The causes of conflict range from philosophical differences and divergent goals, to power imbalances. When conflict arises, it is easy for people to be stubborn and remain entrenched in their positions and for tempers to flare, voices to rise and body language to become defensive or aggressive. Conflict is an unexpected inconvenience. This can be proved by the Lahad Datu Sabah conflict which occurred in 2013, where armed men landed in Lahad Datu to enforce an ancestral land claim. During the conflict, 12 security police were killed and some of them were mutilated. A week-long impasse in a coastal village ended in bloodshed, as a Malaysian ground assault gave way to air strikes. The aims of this research is to analyze the issues of Lahad Datu, to examine the strategies that can be used to promote peace and stability and to introduce an Islamic model of conflict resolution.

    Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Patricia Campbell Laurie Sears Philip Schuyler Meilu Ho Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Joseph M. Kinzer iii University of Washington Abstract Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music In this dissertation, I show how Malay-identified performing arts are used to fold in Malay Muslim identity into the urban milieu, not as an alternative to Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary cultural trajectory, but as an integrated part of it. I found this identity negotiation occurring through secular performance traditions of a particular instrument known as the gambus (lute), an Arabic instrument with strong ties to Malay history and trade. During my fieldwork, I discovered that the gambus in Malaysia is a potent symbol through which Malay Muslim identity is negotiated based on various local and transnational conceptions of Islamic modernity. My dissertation explores the material and virtual pathways that converge a number of historical, geographic, and socio-political sites—including the National Museum and the National Conservatory for the Arts, iv Culture, and Heritage—in my experiences studying the gambus and the wider transmission of muzik Melayu (Malay music) in urban Malaysia. I argue that the gambus complicates articulations of Malay identity through multiple agentic forces, including people (musicians, teachers, etc.), the gambus itself (its materials and iconicity), various governmental and non-governmental institutions, and wider oral, aural, and material transmission processes.

  • Palm Oil Not Polar Bears: Climate Change and Development in Malaysian Media
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR Palm oil not polar bears: Climate change and development in Malaysian media Abstract To date, debates about climate change reporting in national media focus largely on Western democracies. We aim to broaden the scope for cross-national comparison by looking at climate change reporting in Malaysia – an emerging economy in the global South facing developmental tensions common to many, specifically an ambitious national climate change agenda in the face of an economy largely reliant on the extraction and export of primary commodities. Our questions are: How is climate change framed in Malaysian media? How do Malaysian narratives compare to those found elsewhere? How do climate change and development narratives interact in a ‘second tier’ emerging economy? And lastly, what do these interacting narratives say about the salience of neoliberal and North-South perspectives on climate change and development? To answer these questions, we undertook a content analysis of climate action stories published over a three-year period (2009-2011) in five English-language news sources. In addition to a high proportion of environmental-framed articles across all the news sources, our findings show that climate change has been framed as both a multi-scalar responsibility and a positive opportunity for two key stakeholders in development, i.e. neoliberal market forces and geopolitical actors keenly interested in restructuring the international political economy along lines reminiscent of the new international economic order (NIEO) demands of the 1970s. We label the key themes emergent from our analysis as climate capitalism and green nationalism (neither of which are unique to Malaysia) while demonstrating that debates about palm oil are particularly illustrative of the interaction of these themes in the Malaysian context.

On the other hand, a small amount of nanoclay into the chemical mixture can further improve the different properties of the WPCs through the preparation of wood polymer nano- composites (WPNCs). Kayu Malam wood species with styrene (St), vinyl acetate (VA), and montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay were used for the preparation of WPNCs. )e acoustic properties such as specific dynamic Young’s modulus (Ed/γ), internal friction (Q−1), and acoustic conversion efficiency (ACE) of wood were examined using free-free flexural vibration. It was observed that the chemically impregnated wood composite showed a higher value of Ed/γ than raw wood and the nanoclay-loaded wood nanocomposite showed the highest value.

  • THE EDUCATIVE IMPACT of MUSIC STUDY ABROAD by Daniel Antonelli Dissertation Committee
    THE EDUCATIVE IMPACT OF MUSIC STUDY ABROAD by Daniel Antonelli Dissertation Committee: Professor Randall E. Allsup, Sponsor Professor Lori A. Custodero Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 10 February, 2021 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT THE EDUCATIVE IMPACT OF MUSIC STUDY ABROAD Daniel Antonelli This study explored the educative impact of a music study abroad program, specifically, what role music plays in encounters between students from diverse cultural backgrounds, and how such programs can help shape the identity of a global citizen and lead to a more socially just global community. If programmatic efforts can be impactful, preparing young people for life in a more interdependent, complex, and fragile world, then how can such values be informed, fostered, and even stimulated by engaging in international music travel? How is “difference” experienced and rendered meaningful? This qualitative case study followed U.S. music and music education students on a trip to Malaysia where they collaborated with Malaysian peers in bamboo instrument-making as well as music-making in traditional Malay styles. Perspectives, commentary, and reflections of and by all participants were recorded and investigated. Pre-trip interviews were conducted two months prior to embarking on the international journey. During the program abroad over the course of three weeks, I interviewed four U.S. music students, five Malaysian music education students, and both a U.S. and Malay music professor. Additionally, a focus group was conducted with the Malay student-participants.
