  • Assessment of Tsunami Hazard in Sabah – Level of Threat, Constraints and Future Work Felix Tongkul*, Rodeano Roslee, Ahmad Khairut Termizi Mohd Daud
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 70, November 2020, pp. 1 - 15 DOI: https://doi.org/10.7186/bgsm70202001 Assessment of tsunami hazard in Sabah – Level of threat, constraints and future work Felix Tongkul*, Rodeano Roslee, Ahmad Khairut Termizi Mohd Daud Natural Disaster Research Centre (NDRC) Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia * Corresponding author email address: [email protected] Abstract: The coastal areas of Sabah are exposed to far-field earthquake-induced tsunamis that could be generated along the trenches of Manila, Negros, Sulu, Cotabato, Sangihe and North Sulawesi. Tsunami simulation models from these trenches indicated that tsunami waves can reach the coast of Sabah between 40 and 120 minutes with tsunami wave heights reaching up to 3 m near the coast. The level of tsunami threat is high in southeast Sabah due to its narrow continental shelf and proximity to tsunami source in the North Sulawesi Trench. The level of tsunami threat is moderate in north and east Sabah due to their proximity to tsunami source in the Sulu Trench. The level of tsunami threat is low in west Sabah due to its distant location to tsunami source from the Manila Trench. While tsunamis cannot be prevented, its impact on human life and property can be reduced through proper assessment of its threat using tsunami simulation models. Unfortunately, constraints remain in producing a reliable tsunami inundation models due to the lack of high-resolution topography and bathymetry data in Sabah and surrounding seas. It would be helpful if such data can be acquired by the relevant government agencies, at least first, in high threat-level areas, such as Tawau and Semporna districts.

  • Regional Economic Integration for Improving Cross-Border Area in Sebatik Island
    REGIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION FOR IMPROVING CROSS-BORDER AREA IN SEBATIK ISLAND Nuri Widiastuti Veronika Subdivision of Hearing Treatise and Publication Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat No. 15, Jakarta Pusat 10110 [email protected] Abstract The proximity of Sebatik Island to Malaysia and its distance from Indonesia have been the causes why Sebatik people tend to perform economic activities with Tawau, Malaysia. Sebatik people have been depending on Tawau to sell their various agricultural commodities and fisheries products. However, informal cross-border trade between Sebatik-Tawau that have been implemented over the past few years has been challenged by some underlying economic problems. Those underlying economic problems are the apparent causes for the lower standard of living of most Sebatik people compared to Tawau inhabitants. As Sebatik people depend on Tawau to fulfill their daily needs, they will have to deal with more hardships since there is a discourse to stop the cross-border trade relations by the government of Tawau. ASEAN Community 2015 which is oriented to establish the regional economic integration in Southeast Asia, may be one solution to the economic problems dealt by the people of Sebatik. Keywords: ASEAN, regional economic integration, Sebatik, Tawau Abstrak Letak Pulau Sebatik yang berada dekat dengan Malaysia dan agak jauh dari Indonesia telah menjadi penyebab mengapa orang-orang Sebatik cenderung melakukan kegiatan ekonomi dengan Tawau, Malaysia. Orang-orang Sebatik telah tergantung pada Tawau untuk menjual berbagai komoditas pertanian dan produk perikanan mereka. Namun, perdagangan informal lintas-perbatasan antara Sebatik-Tawau yang telah dilaksanakan selama beberapa tahun terakhir dihadapkan dengan berbagai masalah ekonomi yang mendasar.
