  • Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 85 ( 2013 ) 544 – 553 AcE-Bs 2013 Hanoi ASEAN Conference on Environment-Behaviour Studies Hanoi Architectural University, Hanoi, Vietnam, 19-22 March 2013 "Cultural Sustainability in the Built and Natural Environment" Internalization and Anti Littering Campaign Implementation Haijon Gunggut*, Chua Kim Hing, Dg Siti Noor Saufidah Ag Mohd Saufi Universiti Teknologi MARA, Locked Bag 71, 88997 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Abstract This paper seeks to account for the variations in implementation progress of the Anti-litterbugs Campaign in Sabah. A total of nine local authorities were studied. Data was mainly obtained from interviews, observations and written sources. The variation in the Campaign implementation progress can be explained in term of campaign internalization among local authority top leadership. Internalization is reflected in the understanding of the campaign and priority of local government top leaderships observed in their actions, choice of words and activities. In addition, the structure of the local authority also influenced implementation progress. © 2013 The Authors.

  • Supernatural Elements in Tangon and Their Connection with Ethnic Ranau Dusun Beliefs
    SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS IN TANGON AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH ETHNIC RANAU DUSUN BELIEFS (Unsur-unsur Keajaiban dalam Tangon dan Perkaitannya dengan Konteks Kepercayaan Etnik Dusun di Ranau) Steefi Yalim [email protected] *Low Kok On [email protected] Faculty of Humanities, Arts & Heritage, University Malaysia Sabah. Published online: 5 December 2019 To Cite: Steefi Yalim and Low Kok On. (2019). Supernatural Elements in Tangon and Their Connection with Ethnic Ranau Dusun Beliefs. Malay Literature, 32(2), 185-206. Abstract Storytelling (monusui) is an oral tradition handed down from generation to generation among the Dusun ethnic group in Sabah. In the past, the narration of tangon (folktales) was a form of entertainment and an informal medium of education for the Dusun ethnic. A total of 44 tangon were successfully collected during fieldworks conducted in the state of Ranau. On examining the 44 tangon, 13 were found to be stories that contain supernatural elements or elements of magic. Among these are phenomena such as “humans being resurrected”, “humans giving birth to animals”, “humans morphing into birds”, and many more. These elements in tangon are the result of its creator’s imagination and creativity. The issue here is that if these elements are not analysed and highlighted, we will not be able to comprehend the imagination, creativity, and beliefs of the previous generations. The result of the analysis by way of interpretation of these supernatural elements in tangon shows that the Ranau Dusun ethnic group had a rich imagination and a great deal of creativity in conceiving these © Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. 2019.

Evidence supporting the occurrence and the ecological implication of giant mottled eel, Anguilla marmorata (Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes: Anguillidae), from Sabah, Borneo Island. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 47 (1): 73–79. Abstract. Although tropical anguillid eels account for two-thirds of all species in the genus Anguilla, the information on the species diversity, geographic distribution, and life histories of the tropical eels is very limited. Recent studies suggested that accurate species identification in the tropical anguillid eels needs a validation by molecular genetic analysis after morphological observation. Two anguillid eels found in Sabah, Borneo Island, were firstly identified as Anguilla marmorata Quoy et Gaimard, 1824 using morphological analysis and further analysis of mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) sequences confirmed the morphological species identification. The presently reported study represents the first description of A.

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.

  • Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and Its Tributaries WWF-Malaysia Project Report
    Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and its Tributaries WWF-Malaysia Project Report February/2016 Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and its Tributaries By Dr. Sahana Harun and Dr. Arman Hadi Fikri Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation Universiti Malaysia Sabah Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia Report Produced Under Project ST01081R HSBC Bank Malaysia February 2016 Acknowledgements The authors of this report would like to thank the Sabah Forestry Department staff of Trusan-Sugut Forest Reserve for providing accommodation, transport and assistance in carrying out this project. Thanks also to WWF-Malaysia for providing us the opportunity to carry out the work. This project was funded by HSBC Bank Malaysia. Executive Summary WWF-Malaysia initiated the water quality monitoring using physic-chemical and biological parameters along the lower Sugut River and its tributaries to monitor the status of water quality in the area, especially in areas surrounded by oil palm plantations. A total of 12 sampling stations were selected at four tributaries of Sugut River based on agreement with WWF staff members and Sabah Forestry Department (SFD) officer. The four tributaries were Sabang river (next to oil palm mill), Sugut river (next to oil palm plantation), Wansayan river (next to secondary forest) and Kepilatan river (next to Nipah forest). Fieldwork started in August 2015 and ended in November 2015, with a total of four samplings. The results showed that the Water Quality Index (WQI) classified Sg. Sabang as very polluted, while Sg. Sugut, Sg. Wansayan and Sg. Kepilatan were slightly polluted. In accordance to INWQS, parameters TSS, DO and BOD for all tributaries were classified in Class III and IV.

  • The Visitors Perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Sabah, Malaysia
    SHS Web of Conferences 12, 01068 (2014) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20141201068 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014 Man-Made Wildlife Tourism Destination: The Visitors Perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Sabah, Malaysia Boyd Sun Fatt1, Cindy Johnny1 , Shirley M. Bakansing2 1Faculty of Hotel & Tourism Management, University Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Sabah Branch 2School of International Tropical Forestry, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Sabah Abstract. Sabah is blessed with natural forest habitats and rich with floras and faunas. Amongst its’ attraction is wildlife endemism. Lok Kawi Wildlife Park was established to provide an alternative wildlife tourism destination with its inhabitants from the wildlife species of Borneo. Since its opening in 2007, multitudes of tourists have visited the park. However, there has been no study to identify the visitor’s perspective on Lok Kawi Wildlife Park as man-made wildlife tourism destination. The study aims to assist the park’s management for the betterment of the park’s facilities and future development. A convenience sampling and a designed questionnaire was applied in this study, distributed after the visitors visited the park. The results showed that majority of the visitors were Malaysian and only a quarter were foreign visitors. Majority indicated that visiting the park is for recreational outing (holiday) and only a few indicated that is an educational visit. Majority of the respondents knew the meaning of wildlife tourism and visiting the park’s is part of wildlife tourism. Most of the respondents came to know about the park’s existence through the local media and mostly agreed that the park indeed provide an authentic learning experience about wildlife, whilst creating wildlife conservation awareness.
