Three indigenous tree species was used in this study, namely are Cratoxylum arborescens (Vahl) Blume (Geronggang), Alstonia spathulata Blume (Pulai), and Stemonurus scorpioides Becc. (Katok). A total of 45 seedlings for each species were examined using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with spacing of 3mx3m. Data collection for height, diameter, and survivality was recorded every two weeks within 10 weeks period from the seedlings was planted. Results from this study showed, the growth performance of Geronggang species was much better than the Pulai species, while all the Katok seedlings were died after week 6 in this experiment. The Geronggang species had the average mean height increment of 24.17 cm and average mean diameter increment of 2.76 mm, while Pulai species had average mean height increment of 9.36 cm and average mean diameter increment with 1.86 mm. -

However, reports concerning the incidence and spread of cholera in these countries are infrequently made available to the international community. Cholera is endemic in Sarawak, Malaysia. We report here the epidemiologic and demographic data obtained from nine divisions of Sarawak for the ten years from 1994 to 2003 and discuss factors associated with the emergence and spread of cholera and its control. In ten years, 1672 cholera patients were recorded. High incidence of cholera was observed during the unusually strong El Niño years of 1997 to 1998 when a very severe and prolonged drought occurred in Sarawak. Cholera is endemic in the squatter towns and coastal areas especially those along the Sarawak river estuaries. -

Jeremiah) ii PREFACE At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development or the Rio Summit, Malaysia was among the signatories to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The Convention outlines three main objectives: (1) the conservation of biological diversity; (2) the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and (3) the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. In 2010, in view of the continued decline of global biodiversity, parties to the CBD, in Nagoya, Japan, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 with the purpose of inspiring broad-based action in support of biodiversity over the next decade by all countries and stakeholders. The Strategic Plan has 20 headline targets termed the “Aichi Biodiversity Targets”, organised under five strategic goals that address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, reduce the pressures on biodiversity, safeguard biodiversity at all levels, enhance the benefits provided by biodiversity, and provide for capacity-building. -

Onshore to Offshore Correlation of Northern Borneo; a Regional Perspective Peter Lunt1,* & Mazlan Madon2
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 64, December 2017, pp. 101 – 122 Onshore to offshore correlation of northern Borneo; a regional perspective Peter Lunt1,* & Mazlan Madon2 1Petronas Carigali, 2Petronas, Malaysia Petroleum Management Level 14 Tower 2, Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur 50088, Malaysia *Corresponding author email address: [email protected] Abstract: This review combines a wide range of onshore and offshore data from Oligocene to Pliocene sediments of northern Borneo to address the following topics: (i) the stratigraphic conditions before and after the Top Crocker Unconformity [TCU], (ii) Early Miocene palaeogeography, (iii) events during later Early to mid Middle Miocene times, including the Deep Regional Unconformity [DRU], and (iv) the waning of the Sabah Orogeny in Early Pliocene times. Emphasis is placed on dating the key events, in order to consistently identify the stratigraphic and tectonic changes observed in the different data sets. The data shows a period of uplift and deformation in the north, perhaps focussed in southern Palawan, during the Oligocene then its sudden cessation at the TCU, with strong contrast in both facies and deformation style of Late Oligocene outcrops on the Kudat Peninsula compared to the Early Miocene sediments drilled offshore. This termination of tectonic deformation coincides with published estimates for the onset of ridge-jump and sea-floor spreading in the South China Sea northwest of Sabah. Following this unconformity the deposition of sediments during the Early Miocene appears to have consisted of a fluvio-deltaic high in the south (from central Borneo) and a broad deep marine basin in the north, from west of the Kudat Peninsula to at least the western part of the Sulu Sea. -
Towards Integrated Natural Resource Management in Sarawak, Malaysia
Water Resources Systems—Water Availability and Global Change (Proceedings of symposium HS02a held during IUGG2003 al Sapporo. July 2003). IAHS Publ. no. 280, 2003. 175 A step in the right direction: towards integrated natural resource management in Sarawak, Malaysia TINA SVAN HANSEN Institute of Geography, University of Copenhagen, 0sler Voldgade 10, DK-1350 Copenhagen K, Denmark [email protected] Abstract This paper analyses the effect of recent changes in natural resource management policies in Sarawak, Malaysia. Within the time period of the new policies, institutions have been created to administer the new legislation, leading to an overlap in the mandates of the key institutions managing natural resources. Results from an ongoing study in the Niah catchment show that the pace of large-scale land conversion from forest into oil palm plantations has increased, yet new environmental monitoring programmes have improved the natural resource management in the oil palm plantations. Still, the land-use changes have caused a significant decrease in water quality. So far there has been no attempt to plan or coordinate an integrated natural resource management at catchment level in the study area. Nevertheless, the process of changing the approach towards integrated natural resource management has started. Key words integrated management; land-use changes; river; Sarawak, Malaysia; water INTRODUCTION In South East Asia, deforestation and the conversion of secondary forest into plantations and other agricultural activities have caused erosion, loss of biodiversity, reduction of the buffering capacity of the natural vegetation in riparian areas, more frequent flooding, and a general increase in the concentration of nutrients and sediments in rivers (Douglas, 1996; Gupta, 1996; Brooks, 1997). -

This will contribute to implementation of the Malaysian Biodiversity Action Plan by providing demonstrations of conservation and sustainable management of peat swamp forests. The project will ensure conservation and sustainable use at three sites, as well as demonstrat- ing what is required for the adoption of a multi-sectoral approach to peat swamp forest management through- out Malaysia. It will support implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the
