Bhd. 29 Jalan Riong, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia CONFERENCE PROGRAM A Message from the Chairman, Malaysia National Geoscience Conference 2014 Welcome to Kuala Terengganu! We are proud to host the National Geoscience Conference, the annual meeting of the Geological Society of Malaysia, for the first time since its inception in the early 1970's. This honor is undoubtedly due to the increasing emphasis on geoscience research and programs at the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and Institute of Oceanography and Environment. The Conference is a premier geoscientific event in Malaysia which is well attended by geoscientists from academia as well as the public and private sectors. NGC 2014 is co- organised with the Minerals & Geoscience Department Malaysia (JMG) Terengganu and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). This year's theme is “Climate and Sea-Level Change through Geologic Time”. The potential effects of ongoing and future climate and sea-level change are of global concern, especially to the many countries throughout Asia with coastal economies. An important way of predicting future coastal patterns is by using analogs from the past. Earth’s history has been characterized by substantial changes in climate and sea level on various time scales and with various driving factors. The most recent period, the Quaternary, has been characterized by orbitally-driven, high-frequency climate and sea-level change. This conference will focus on understanding the geological record of these changes and using that understanding to predict future coastal trends. This subject has stimulated both national and international participation in NGC 2014 with four keynote addresses on relevant topics. In addition to papers related to the conference theme, we have sessions related to geohazards, engineering geology, petrology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, economic geology, geo-heritage and policy. I am sure that the presentations will elicit lively discussion. I would like to thank the authors and contributors for their submissions and the time and effort that each represents, the generous sponsors whose contributions helped make this event happen and the conference organizing committee for their energy, dedication and experience. Cheers! Have a great meeting and experience in Terengganu. Dr. Peter R.

Pakatan Harapan state chief, Ahmad Faizal Azumu, took on the mantle of the 12th Menteri Besar replacing Dato’ Seri DiRaja Dr Zambry Abd Kadir officially on May 12. He Fwas sworn in by Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah at Istana Iskandariah, Kuala Kangsar. The executive councillors, ten in all, took their oath of office on May 19 at the same venue. Executive councillors are equivalent to ministers at the federal level. Each state is allowed to nominate between six and 10 executive councillors and this is specified in the state constitution. They are given specific portfolios and the number may vary from councillor to councillor. The ones responsible for finance, local government, environment, foreign investments and sports (not necessarily in that order) have a heavy burden to shoulder considering the significance of these portfolios.

  • Factors Influencing Residents' Attitude Towards Marine Resource Utilization
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 19 S1, 2018, 37-46 FACTORS INFLUENCING RESIDENTS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS MARINE RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN TUN SAKARAN MARINE PARK, MALAYSIA Habibah Mohd Yusah Universiti Putra Malaysia Ahmad Shuib. Universiti Putra Malaysia Puvanewaran Kunasekaran Universiti Putra Malaysia Nurul Afifah Nordin Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT Communities living in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park (TSMP) depend on the marine resources for their livelihood. The marine park is managed by state government, the Sabah Parks, with the main objective of conserving the high marine biodiversity in the area. The communities living in the area use the resources on a daily basis, for family consumption and subsistence. The marine park is also popular for its world class diving sites which has contributed to the growth of the ecotourism industry. The main objective of this study is to determine the socio- demographic characteristics of the resident communities in order to evaluate the factors that determine the attitude of the communities towards the utilization of the marine resources. Data from 116 respondents in three islands in the park were collected using the convenient sampling method. Results of the regression analysis showed that citizenship (non-citizen), education, sense of ownership to the place and responses towards destructive fishing methods had significant influences on the attitudes towards the utilization of the marine resources. Relevant agencies can help to improve the attitudes of the communities by increasing awareness of the communities through informal education and providing extension information to reduce uses of destructive fishing methods. Keywords: Socio-demography; Local Communities; Marine Protected Area; Fishing Tools; Sabah.

A total of nine local authorities were studied. Data was mainly obtained from interviews, observations and written sources. The variation in the Campaign implementation progress can be explained in term of campaign internalization among local authority top leadership. Internalization is reflected in the understanding of the campaign and priority of local government top leaderships observed in their actions, choice of words and activities. In addition, the structure of the local authority also influenced implementation progress. © 2013 The Authors.

  • Mantle Structure and Tectonic History of SE Asia
    Nature and Demise of the Proto-South China Sea ROBERT HALL, H. TIM BREITFELD SE Asia Research Group, Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, United Kingdom Abstract: The term Proto-South China Sea has been used in a number of different ways. It was originally introduced to describe oceanic crust that formerly occupied the region north of Borneo where the modern South China Sea is situated. This oceanic crust was inferred to have been Mesozoic, and to have been eliminated by subduction beneath Borneo. Subduction was interpreted to have begun in Early Cenozoic and terminated in the Miocene. Subsequently the term was also used for inferred oceanic crust, now disappeared, of quite different age, notably that interpreted to have been subducted during the Late Cretaceous below Sarawak. More recently, some authors have considered that southeast-directed subduction continued until much later in the Neogene than originally proposed, based on the supposition that the NW Borneo Trough and Palawan Trough are, or were recently, sites of subduction. Others have challenged the existence of the Proto-South China Sea completely, or suggested it was much smaller than envisaged when the term was introduced. We review the different usage of the term and the evidence for subduction, particularly under Sabah. We suggest that the term Proto-South China Sea should be used only for the slab subducted beneath Sabah and Cagayan between the Eocene and Early Miocene. Oceanic crust subducted during earlier episodes of subduction in other areas should be named differently and we use the term Paleo- Pacific Ocean for lithosphere subducted under Borneo in the Cretaceous.
