Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

  • ABSTRACT the Bajau Laut Or Sea Bajau Or Also Often Referred to with the Derogatory Label Palauh by Other Communities, Are Known
    Jurnal Kinabalu Bil. 26(2), 183-196, Disember 2020 E-ISSN 2600-867X© Wan Shawaluddin Wan Hassan & Diana Peters THE VULNERABILITY OF BAJAU LAUT AS STATELESS PEOPLE IN SABAH WAN SHAWALUDDIN WAN HASSAN1 DIANA PETERS2 1&2Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. [email protected] Date Received: 16 July 2020 / Date Accepted: 10 October 2020 ABSTRACT The Bajau Laut or Sea Bajau or also often referred to with the derogatory label Palauh by other communities, are known to be living within their ancestral domain of the Sulu and the Celebes Seas or the Sulu- Semporna-South Sulawesi Triangle. During the pre-British period, their mobility around this region was well established as part of their civilization and was not an issue with other peoples in the land-based territories. However, the legal status of the Bajau Laut became problematic when citizenship and territories were formalized by the emergence of the nation- states of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. In the case of the Bajau Laut population located on the Malaysian side of Sabah, the dynamics of their own internal development has become more complicated. In Sabah, there are three groups of Bajau: The West Coast Bajau, the various groups of East Coast Bajau and the Bajau Laut who can be found along Sabah’s east coast, and around the islands off of Semporna. These three groups can be differentiated by their language and dialects, as well as livelihood, status in life, education, community structure and their general worldviews. The West Coast Bajau and the East Coast Bajau have slowly integrated themselves into the Malaysian society, while the Bajau Laut continues their semi- nomadic life at sea and are generally regarded as stateless by the Malaysian Government.

  • Heavy Metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn) in Meretrix Meretrix Roding, Water and Sediments from Estuaries in Sabah, North Borneo
    International Journal of Environmental & Science Education, 2007, 2(3), 69 – 74 International Journal of Environmental & Science Education, 2007, 2(3), 69 – 74 ISSN 1306-3065 ©International 2007 by IJESE. All Rights Reserved Heavy Metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn) in Meretrix meretrix Roding, Water and Sediments from Estuaries in Sabah, North Borneo 1*Mohd. Harun Abdullah, 1Jovita Sidi and 2Ahmad Zaharin Aris 1 School of Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, MALAYSIA 2Faculty of Environmental Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, MALAYSIA * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn) in tissues of Meretrix meretrix Roding (M. meretrix R.), water and sediments from two estuaries were determined. One estuary is located in an urban area of Kota Kinabalu (Likas estuary) and the other in a rural district of Kota Belud (Kota Belud estuary), where both are in Sabah, North of Borneo island. M. meretrix R. is a kind of mollusk commonly consumed by the inhabitants of many parts of the island. This study indicated that species of mollusk, water and sediment from the urban estuary (Likas) contained higher concentration of some heavy metals than those in rural estuary (Kota Belud). It was found that the mollusk has a potential to be used as bioindicator for the contamination of Cd and Zn in water and sediment of an estuarine environment, as indicated by its high bioconcentration factors (BCFs) values. Overall, this species seemed to accumulate certain metals in its tissue and resisted the entry of others from its surrounding environment.

  • Structural Style and Tectonics of Western and Northern Sabah
    Geol.Soc. Malaysia, Bulletin 27, November 1990; pp. 227 - 239 Structural style and tectonics of Western and Northern Sabah FELIX TONGKUL Jabatan Sains Bumi, UKM Sabah, Beg Berkunci No. 62, 88996, Kota Kinabalu Abstract: The Western and Northern part of Sabah, consisting of sedimentary and igneous rocks of Early Cretaceous to Pliocene in age, has undergone several episodes of deformation, the earliest episode of deformation which was responsible for the deformation and uplift of the basement rock (chert-spilite formation), probably occurred during Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene time. This early deformation is thought to have controlled the development of an elongate basin trending approximately N-S and E-W in Western and Northern Sabah respectively which later became the site for the deposition of Middle Eocene to Early Miocene sediments of the Crocker, Trusmadi and Kudat Formations. These sediments were subsequently deformed by NW-SE and N-S compressive directions in Western and Northern Sabah respectively during Middle Miocene times to form a series ofimbricate thrust slices. Chaotic deposits developed along major fault zones. The NW-SE and N-S compressive directions controlled the development ofNE-SW and E-W trending basins in Western and Northern Sabah respectively for the deposition of younger sedi­ ments during Upper Miocene to Pliocene times. The continued NW-SE and N-S compres­ sion gently deformed these sediments. INTRODUCTION Sabah, occupying the northern part of Borneo Island, lies adjacent to active plate movements in the Southeast Asian region (Fig. 1). The South China Sea, Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea lie to the north and west, east, and south of Sabah respectively.

  • Rehabilitation of the Tenom Pangi Hydropower Project
    Malaysia Rehabilitation of The Tenom Pangi Hydropower Project Field Survey: August 2003 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Tenon Pangi Site location map Entrance to Tenom Pangi Hydroelectric Power Plant 1.1. Background Tenom Pangi Hydroelectric Power Plant went into operation in 1984 as the core power plant supplying electricity to western coastal regions of Sabah state, Malaysia (an area centered round Kota Kinabalu that accounts for 40% of the state’s electricity consumption), and is the only large-scale hydroelectric power plant in the state. It is situated on the banks of the Padas river on the outskirts of Tenom city some 120 kilometers to the south of the state capital, Kota Kinabalu. The plant has a generation capacity of 66 MW (3 × 22 MW generators) and covered a little over 50 percent of peak demand (123.1 MW) in the west coast region when the operation started. However, the Padas river flooded as the result of heavy rains throughout September 1988 (250.1mm of rain was recorded for the month) causing damage to the water intake gate and other facilities (trash protection, vertical gates, etc.) and hindering the operation of the power plant. This resulted in the suspension of power supplies due to the unplanned suspension of operations at the plant, leading to the loss of stable power supplies. In order to put an end to this problem and restore the plant to its original state, the implementation of urgent and appropriate rehabilitation work was a pressing issue. 1.2. Objectives To eliminate problems relating to the operation and maintenance of the Tenom Pangi Hydroelectric Power Plant through the rehabilitation of those existing facilities and equipment that had sustained damage due to flooding and thereby, to contribute to efficient supply of power.

  • The Semiotic of Bangkai-Bangkaian: a Special Space for the Spirit
    The Semiotic of Bangkai-Bangkaian: A Special Space for the Spirit Halina Sendera Mohd. Yakin, University of Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia Andreas Totu, University of Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia The European Conference on the Social Sciences 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to ethnographically describe the ritual of death among the West Coast Bajau in Sabah especially on the matters related to the preparation of bangkai-bangkaian after a funeral. This cultural artifact is perceived as a resting place or ‘special space’ for a spirit which is believed will visit his or her family members during special feast and occasion known as bejogo, mangan bangi and malam tujuh. Apart from that, bangkai-bangkaian also symbolizes the values of love, care and respect for the dead. Symbolically, the act of preparing bangkai-bangkaian also reflects the world-view of the Bajau. The discussion also covers the concept of spirit’s space among other ethnic groups in Sabah. The data were gathered through interviews and participant observations carried out in Kampung Kota Belud, Sabah, Malaysia. The qualitative description were analyzed and elucidated based on semiotic and non-verbal communication perspectives. Keywords: Bajau, Death Ritual, Bangkai- Bangkaian, Semiotic, Non-verbal Communication iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org 1. Introduction Semiotic referring to meanings of symbols and humans as creators and meaning givers to symbols are two inseparable entities in a life of a cultured civilization. In reality, humans live with symbols and signs. Death symbols are among the significant symbols signifying a culture. Generally, death symbolizes sadness and people have different ways to manage, handle and signify death.

  • (PLA) Among Dusun & Bajau Ethnic Groups of Northern Borneo
    386 International Journal of Collaborative Research on Internal Medicine & Public Health Palmaris Longus Agenesis (PLA) among Dusun & Bajau ethnic groups of Northern Borneo Aye Mya Thidar 1*, Tin Tin Myint 1, Daw Khin Saw Naing 2, Zainal Ariffin Mustapha 1 1,2&4 Department of Biomedical Sciences and Therapeutics, School of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia 2Department of Community & Family Medicine, School of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia * Corresponding Author: Aye Mya Thidar School of Medicine, University Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: The functional role of Palmaris longus muscle is little to human upper limb, but its long tendon is very useful as a donor tendon in hand reconstructive surgery. In the human body, Palmaris longus muscle is often described as one of the most variable muscles in both number and form. It is only to be consistently found in mammals especially in those using forelimbs for weight-bearing and ambulation. The absence of Palmaris longus in human appears to be hereditary but its possibility through genetic transmission has not been proven yet. The first report in 1559 estimated the Palmaris longus agenesis (PLA) was 17.2% among Indians and 12-24% in Caucasians. It was reported to be 4.6% among Singaporean-Chinese while 12.6% and 26.6% in Nigeria-black and Turkish people respectively. A 2007 UKM study shows prevalence of PLA in Malays was 11.3% followed by Indians (10.7%) and Chinese (6.0%). Studies had indicated that PLA would be associated with other anatomical variations of hand.
