With a wide boundary, the Malaysian security is porous to various threats which not only mean a traditional military threat but also include multiple threats. Current threats have been broadening to include transnational criminals such as illegal immigrants, smuggling people or prohibited goods or even non-traditional threats such as terrorism.

  • The Depositional Environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic Red Beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and Its Bearing on Global Eustatic Sea Level Change
    Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 48 June 2004, p. 65 - 72 The depositional environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and its bearing on global eustatic sea level change MEOR HAKIF HASSAN & LEE CHAI PENG Geology Department, University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: Late Devonian - Early Carboniferous red coloured mudstones and sandstones are widely distributed in northwest Peninsular Malaysia. A relatively complete and well preserved sequence is exposed at Bumita Quarry, Hutan Aji, Periis, and is described herein. The facies associations observed are indicative of a marine prodelta-delta front depositional environment for the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds. A thin (9m) black mudstone facies in the middle of the Bumita Quarry sequence may represent the Latest Devonian Hangenberg Anoxic Event. The occurrence of a Mid­ Palaeozoic orogeny is refuted. The major regression just after the global Hangenberg Event transgressive episode is proposed as the cause of the major, pre-Carboniferous paraconformity observed in mid-Palaeozoic successions of the Sibumasu/Shan-Thai Terrane. Abstrak: Batu lumpur dan batu pasir merah berumur Devon Akhir - Karbon Awal tersingkap secara meluas di beberapa bahagian barat laut Semenanjung Malaysia. Satu turutan Devon Akhir-Karbon Awal yang hampir lengkap terdedah di Kuari Bumita, Hutan Aji, Periis, diperihalkan di sini. Gabungan-gabungan fasies yang dikenalpasti di lapangan ditafsirkan sebagai menunjukkan sekitaran enapan palaeo prodelta - hadapan delta marin bagi batuan merah Palaeozoik Tengah ini. Kehadiran fasies batu lumpur hitam yang nipis di tengah-tengah turutan Kuari Bumita mungkin mewakili Peristiwa Anoksik Hangenberg yang beriaku pada Akhir Devon.

Macaca arctoides is reported to be distributed only in the northern part of Malay Peninsula. Intensive scientific observations have never been carried out before on this neglected macaque in the northern range. Thus, in this article, an estimation of population data on the Malaysian stump-tailed macaques that were found in Wang Kelian forest areas in Perlis State Park, Malaysia is presented. Intensive field observations were conducted from Sept 2018 to January 2019 with scanning sampling.
