As a president of NIFoS, it is a great pleasure that IUFRO, APAFRI, National Institute of Forest Science (NIFoS), co-host the 10th Conference on Tradi- tional Forest Knowledge and Culture, especially in the meaning of commem- oration on the 10th meeting of this Network. Let me extend my gratitude to Prof. Liu JinLong of Renmin University of Chi- na, Prof. KoShaka Ryo of Tohoku University of Japan, Prof. Youn Yeo- Chang of Seoul National University, Korea, Dr. Sim Heok Choh & Dr. Gan Kee-Seng of APAFRI, Prof. Monica Gabay of National University of San Martin of Argentina and participants for attending this conference. Also, I would like to thank moderators, speakers and all the distinguished guests for being here with us today. This conference on TFK goes back to the first time pre-meeting on TFK, starting at Kunming in November 2007. Due to the continued attention and concerns of China, Japan, Korea and ASEAN Countries, this 10th conference has come to be here at this Seoul National University. Thanks again Prof. Liu JinLong and Prof. Youn Yeo-Chang who had founded this network. Most countries over the world have come to recognize the decrease of bio- diversity and they have been arguing and debating the importance of biodi- versity at the COP meeting of Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Also, The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international agreement which aims at sharing the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources in a fair and equitable way. - VI - Opening Address On Friday, 19 May 2017, the Republic of Korea became the 98th country to ratify the Nagoya Protocol. Korea Forest Service also prepares the legislative and administrative measurements for implementation of Nagoya Protocol in next year. In this perspective, this 10th conference will provide the platform for the practical sharing and communication of TFK among participated coun- tries. Two thirds of the world’s indigenous peoples, 260 millions of indigenous people live at Asian Region; these indigenous people have been transcend- ing the treasure and wisdom of traditional forest knowledge. Recognition of intellectual property rights (IPRs) over traditional knowledge (TK) held by indigenous peo¬ples and local communities (ILCs), particularly TK associated with biodiversity and genetic resources (GRs), is an important step in actualizing sustainable development. TFK can be linked to the SDGs’ targets, # 2, the achievement of food secu- rity, # 6 the sustainable management of water, and # 15 the protection and restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity. Among them, target of food security cannot be emphasized too much for sovereignty and safety for peoples in each country.

Analysing the process of adaptation is done closely by relating the process of interactions within groups, local communities, government agencies and the adaptation patterns that occurred. Besides that, the sustainability and the preservation of ethnic cultures of Orang Kuala in the social system as a whole and their impact on the development of the structure of community are examined. Qualitative method is used assisted by other study materials obtained such as field work, observation, ethnographic which are reinforced with library research such as documents and other materials related.

  • The Temuan Language of Ulu Selangor a Study Based on Materials from the Adela S
    The Temuan language of Ulu Selangor A study based on materials from the Adela S. Baer collection in the Orang Asli Archive Alan Lee The language spoken by the Temuan people of Peninsular Malaysia is one of several non- mainstream varieties of Malay. Relatively understudied, the non-mainstream Malay of these so-called 'Proto-Malays' might nevertheless hold important information regarding the early linguistic interactions between the Malays and the Orang Asli, and perhaps even provide clues regarding the position of the 'Proto-Malays' in the history of the settlement of the Peninsular. Such questions, including the plausibility of the notion of 'Proto-Malay' as a linguistic unity, can only find useful answers when we learn more about the languages and dialects under consideration. This study is one such effort in this direction. It is a descriptive and comparative study of the Temuan dialects spoken in Ulu Selangor and is based primarily on materials collected by the scientist Adela Baer during her fieldwork in Peninsular Malaysia in the 1970's. Baer's materials are currently housed at the Orang Asli Archive at Keene State College in New Hampshire, USA. In addition, observations made during the author's own brief recent visits to Temuan settlements in Ulu Selangor over the past two years are used to confirm and corroborate the data in the Baer collection. Two items form the core of this study: 1) Baer (1999): the Temuan-English-Malay lexicon, compiled by Baer with the help of Temuan native Jalil Mohamad. This valuable lexicon consists of approximately 3,200 entries and, while transcribed in a non-standard phonetic alphabet, contains enough detail to enable a comparative study with standard Malay.

  • Faculty of Law, University of Malaya Constitutional Law Lecture Series
    Faculty of Law, University of Malaya Constitutional Law Lecture Series Protection of Marginalised Minorities Under The Constitution By Dato’ Seri Mohd Hishamudin Yunus Retired Court of Appeal Judge Consultant, Messrs. Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill 1 Distinguished Audience, Ladies and Gentleman, Good evening, It is truly an honour to be invited by the Faculty of Law, University of Malaya, to deliver a Constitutional law lecture in this pleasant evening. I must thank and congratulate Dr. Johan, Dean of the Faculty and Messrs Chooi & Company for jointly organizing this Constitutional law lecture series, which is very beneficial to law students and the general public. Introduction The topic of today’s lecture is “Protection of Marginalised Minorities Under the Constitution” There are two elements in today’s topic: on one hand we have the “Federal Constitution”; and on the other hand, we have “marginalised minorities”. I shall begin by referring to a basic principle of constitutional law that many members of the audience are familiar with: the principle of the supremacy of the Constitution. This principle stipulates that no one institution is supreme; not even Parliament. Only the Federal Constitution is supreme, being the highest law of the country. It binds both state and federal governments, including the executive branch. In other words, the organs of Government must operate in accordance with what is prescribed or empowered by the Federal Constitution; they must not transgress any Constitutional provisions. Now, the phrase “marginalised minorities” is not defined in our Constitution; and therefore, I look into dictionaries for guidance. The Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern 2 English published by Oxford shed some light in this regard.
