    217 THE BALINGIAN SHEAR ZONE AND WEST BARAM LINE, SARAWAK AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN THE EARLY CENOZOIC EVOLUTION OF NW BORNEO ROBERT B. TATE Department of Geology, University of Malaya, 59100 Kuala Lumpur Intense shearing of the rocks at the Sibu-Bintulu road bridge site on the Sg. Balingian was recognised first in 1976 and the shaaring then attributed to a NE-trending tectonic feature related to the Mulu Shear Zone (McManus & Tate, 1976). New roadside exposures in the middle-upper Eocene Belaga Formation in the neighbourhood of Sg. Balingian between Sibu and Bintulu now reveal a major zone of deformation which seems to trend approximately WNW. The zone appears to continue offshore where it is aligned with a positive gravity anomaly trending WNW (Hutchison,1991) indicating a major discontinuity at depth. The gravity anomaly coincides with the SW margin of the Balingian oil Province which has been described by Swinburn (1993) as the West Balingian Line. The Balingian Shear zone is characterised by intensely folded turbidites belonging to the upper part of the Belaga Formation. Cleavage, quartz-filled jointing and ptygmatic folds, boudinage and small-scale thrusting are common within a belt about 5 km wide. Structural measurements obtained from the Balingian exposures indicate a general N -S compressional direction but more data are needed from a wider area before either the structural interpretation or lateral extent and direction of the shear zone, including whether there is any horizontal component, can be established satisfactorily. The timing of the deformation cannot be verified except that it is post upper Eocene.

    Sains Malaysiana 43(10)(2014): 1461–1470 Deforestation, Forest Degradation and Readiness of Local People of Lubuk Antu, Sarawak for REDD+ (Penyahhutanan, Dedgrasi Hutan dan Kesediaan Penduduk Tempatan dari Lubuk Antu, Sarawak bagi REDD +) MUI-HOW PHUA*, WILSON WONG, MEA HOW GOH, KAMLISA UNI KAMLUN, JULIUS KODOH, STEPHEN TEO, FAZILAH MAJID COOKE & SATOSHI TSUYUKI ABSTRACT Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation-plus (REDD+) is considered as an important mitigation strategy against global warming. However, the implementation of REDD+ can adversely affect local people who have been practicing shifting cultivation for generations. We analyzed Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper images of 1990 and 2009 to quantifying deforestation and forest degradation at Lubuk Antu District, a typical rural area of Sarawak, Malaysia. The results showed significant loss of intact forest at 0.9% per year, which was substantially higher than the rate of Sarawak. There were increases of oil palm and rubber areas but degraded forest, the second largest land cover type, had increased considerably. The local people were mostly shifting cultivators, who indicated readiness of accepting the REDD+ mechanism if they were given compensation. We estimated the monthly willingness to accept (WTA) at RM462, which can be considered as the opportunity cost of foregoing their existing shifting cultivation. The monthly WTA was well correlated with their monthly household expenses. Instead of cash payment, rubber cultivation scheme was the most preferred form of compensation. Keywords: Deforestation; forest degradation; REDD+; shifting cultivation; willingness to accept ABSTRAK Pengurangan pelepasan daripada penyahhutanan dan degradasi hutan-plus (REDD+) dianggap sebagai strategi mitigasi penting dalam menangani pemanasan global.
  • English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs

    English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs

    CHAPTER 6 English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs Patricia Nora Riget and Xiaomei Wang Introduction Sarawak covers a vast land area of 124,450 km2 and is the largest state in Malaysia. Despite its size, its population of 2.4 million people constitutes less than one tenth of the country’s population of 30 million people (as of 2015). In terms of its ethnic composition, besides the Malays and Chinese, there are at least 10 main indigenous groups living within the state’s border, namely the Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Bisaya, Kelabit, Lun Bawang, Penan, Kayan, Kenyah and Kajang, the last three being collectively known as the Orang Ulu (lit. ‘upriver people’), a term that also includes other smaller groups (Hood, 2006). The Bidayuh (formerly known as the Land Dayaks) population is 198,473 (State Planning Unit, 2010), which constitutes roughly 8% of the total popula- tion of Sarawak. The Bidayuhs form the fourth largest ethnic group after the Ibans, the Chinese and the Malays. In terms of their distribution and density, the Bidayuhs are mostly found living in the Lundu, Bau and Kuching districts (Kuching Division) and in the Serian district (Samarahan Division), situated at the western end of Sarawak (Rensch et al., 2006). However, due to the lack of employment opportunities in their native districts, many Bidayuhs, especially youths, have migrated to other parts of the state, such as Miri in the east, for job opportunities and many have moved to parts of Peninsula Malaysia, espe- cially Kuala Lumpur, to seek greener pastures. Traditionally, the Bidayuhs lived in longhouses along the hills and were involved primarily in hill paddy planting.

    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.

Because these are really estimates, which the authors also discuss the uncertainty of. So one decimal is enough. Done. P11, L21, Should both rivers on this row be named Rajang? Is the Huang et al study from the same river? In such case is should be highlighted and expressed differently. Yes, Huang’s data is from the Rajang. We changed the wording: “DIC concentrations measured during our dry season survey were comparable to those determined by Huang et al. (2017) for the Rajang River (201 µmol L-1 and 487 µmol L-1). Their values are based on 7 measurements taken between 2005 and 2009 downstream of Sibu (pers. comm.).” P11, L29, remove tracking on comma sign Done P12, L15, add starting parenthesis for the Rozanski ref The parentheses start in line 14: (with a δ13C of around -26 ‰ for C3 plants, Rózanski et al., 2003) P12, L24, is really equilibrium with the atmosphere at +1 per mille? Atmospheric CO2 has a d13C of approx. -8‰. Equilibrium fractionation between CO2 and HCO3 is around 9‰, so HCO3 from atmospheric CO2 should be slightly positive. Thus, in near-neutral water, where the DIC pool is dominated by HCO3, d13C-DIC of DIC in equilibrium with the atmosphere should indeed be slightly positive. +1‰ was the value yielded by the model of Polsenare & Abril 2012. Of course, this entails certain assumptions, and the actual value is obviously dependent on pH, temperature and the atmospheric d13C-CO2, so we changed the wording to “slightly positive” in order to not let the value of +1‰ appear as commonly accepted atmospheric equilibrium d13C-DIC.
