  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Issues in Halal Meat Product and Authentication Technology from Islamic Perspectives
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 Issues in Halal Meat Product and Authentication Technology from Islamic Perspectives Afiqah Salahudin1, Mohd Anuar Ramli (PhD)2, Muhammad Izzul Syahmi Zulkepli1 and Muhd Imran Abd Razak 3 1Postgraduate Student, Department of Fiqh and Usul, Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Senior Lecturer, Department of Fiqh and Usul, Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 3Lecturer, Academy of Contemporary Islamic Studies (ACIS), Universiti Teknologi MARA, Perak Branch, Tapah Campus, 35400 Tapah Road, Perak, Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3768 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3768 Abstract With the advancement in science and technology, food technology is growing rapidly with a variety of ingredients and new methods acquired to be used in the production of food products. Therefore, difficulties will arise in ascertaining halal status because our senses are incapable of identifying it. Besides that, with technological advances in the meat processing industry, adulteration and fraud have become common due to monetary benefit. The issues in halal meat have provided an opportunity for scientists, researchers, consumers, manufacturer and regulators to cooperate together in detecting whether materials such as processed meats, non-meats and also processed food ingredients are safe to consume and free from food-borne zoonotic threats, i.e. hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, poisons and toxins. Halal authentication technology can help address this problem and thus aid jurists in determining the status of the products with great accuracy.
