  • 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.

  • The Early 20Th-Century U.S.-Dutch Conflict Over Pulau Mangias: Its
    129 The Early 20th Century U.S.-Dutch Conflict over Pulau Mangias: Its Relevance to Asia’s Contemporary Maritime and Territorial Disputes Allan Chester NADATE Earl David DUMALAOG I WHILE THE RECENTLY HELD Philippine national elections saw many new faces contending for the top positions of public office, the campaigns converged on the same promises. Iterations of platforms on inclusive growth, social justice, political maturity, and economic stability were projected over airwaves, plastered on screens, scattered in print, and spread by word-of- mouth with peculiar uniformity. Social media drew storms of conflicting opinions, with factions uncompromising in their deification of leaders who profess advocacy likewise echoed by political opponents. Parties and blocs rallied for candidates who, all announced, would perpetuate the same propaganda on meeting mutual needs. Slogans and banners shared cut- and-dry messages, where the better life was the catchphrase; accountability, the watchword; and prosperity, the seminal idea. One senatorial candidate, however, stood out. Departing from the bandwagon and far removed from the old, familiar refrains, Jacel Kiram campaigned with the distinct and singular claim that she would take back Sabah, declaring further that “ang teritoryo ng Pilipinas tayong mga Filipino lang ang makinabang” (Only Filipinos should benefit from Philippine territory) (Legaspi 2016). And while she did not win a seat in the Senate, the issue of the disputed territory entered the generally prosaic roster of electoral topics (Espina 2016; Torregoza 2016). Her loss, Volume 52:1117 (2016) 118130 A.C.B. NADATE & E.D. DUMALAOG however, might evince the relatively little weight given to the issue as compared to other domestic concerns like job creation (Panti 2016; Quismundo 2016).
