[The United States Geological Survey (USGS) surveys international mineral industries to generate statistics on the global production, distribution, and resources of industrial minerals. This directory highlights the economically significant mineral facilities of Asia and the Pacific. Distribution of these facilities is shown on the accompanying map. Each record represents one commodity and one facility type for a single location. Facility types include mines, oil and gas fields, and processing plants such as refineries, smelters, and mills. Facility identification numbers (“Position”) are ordered alphabetically by country, followed by commodity, and then by capacity (descending). The “Year” field establishes the year for which the data were reported in Minerals Yearbook, Volume III – Area Reports: Mineral Industries of Asia and the Pacific.

    Development and displacement: Kenyah-Badeng in Bakun Resettlement Malaysia Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von WELYNE JEFFREY JEHOM aus Sarawak, Malaysia Bonn 2008 Gedruckt mit Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Solvay Gerke (Betreuerin und Gutachterin) Prof. Dr. Hans-Dieter Evers (Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Werner Gephart (weiteres prüfungsberechtigtes Mitglied) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26.06.2008 ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Im Zentrum dieser Forschungsarbeit steht die Umsiedlung der indigenen Einwohner vom Stamme der Kenyah-Badeng aus dem Dorf Long Geng in die neue Siedlung Sg. Asap in Sarawak, Malaysia. Grund für die Umsiedlung war der Bau eines Staudamms, des Bakun Hydro-electric Projektes (BHEP). Neben den Kenyah-Badeng, wurden weitere 16 Dörfer in der neuen Siedlung angesiedelt. Die Umsiedlung begann 1998 und bereits im darauffolgenden Jahr waren die neuen Langhäuser in Sg. Asap vollständig bewohnt. I. Hintergrund Umsiedlungen als Folge von Bauprojekten oder Infrastrukturmaßnahmen sind keine Seltenheit. In diesem Zusammenhang wird oft argumentiert, dass solche Projekte Arbeitsplätze für die lokale Bevölkerung schaffen und die Entwicklung fördern. Andererseits vertreibt ein solche Projekt die vor Ort lebenden Menschen von ihrer Heimstatt und ihrem traditionellen Lebensunterhalt. Im Kern der vorliegenden Studie steht der Aspekt der Zwangsumsiedlung: die Dorfbewohner von Long Geng siedelten sich ausschließlich wegen des Baus des Bakun Wasserkraftwerks in Sg. Asap an. Dies muss als Zwangsumsiedlung angesehen werden, da die indigenen Gemeinden, die früher in dem für das BHP vorgesehenen Gebiet lebten, keine andere Wahl hatten als wegzuziehen und sich anderswo wieder anzusiedeln, denn ihre Dörfer und ihr angestammtes Land wurden von der Staatsregierung für den Bau des BHP beansprucht.

  • Marine Renewable Energy Legal Framework in Malaysia: a Way Forward
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management eISSN: 2672-7226 Volume 15 Number 3, April 2020: 101-112 © Penerbit UMT MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN MALAYSIA: A WAY FORWARD FARAHDILAH GHAZALI*1 AND MAIZATUN MUSTAFA2 1Institute of Oceanagraphy and Environment, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. 2Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, 53100 Selangor, Malaysia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Being a nation that is surrounded by seas, Malaysia is seen to have the potential to harness energy from the sea. At present, renewable energy is already considered to be an important focus within the country’s low emissions strategy particularly through the enforcement of the Renewable Energy Act 2011. However, the scope of this Act is inadequate to include energy from the sea as it is confined only to eligible renewable energy sources under the feed-in tariff scheme. The objective of this paper is to highlight the legal and regulatory requirements governing marine renewable energy development in Malaysia particularly in sustainably capturing tidal and wave potential. As an alternative, this paper explores the viability of ocean energy as another source of renewable energy. The paper adopts a doctrinal approach and suggests some measures within the law and policy which when considered would help towards the development of marine renewable energy. The authors recommend for Malaysia to adopt the Nova Scotia’s legal framework. This model could well be applied provided that there is a strong political will and policy drivers to achieve the national objectives in accelerating renewable energy sector, particularly from marine sources.

  • Country Analysis Brief: Malaysia
    Country Analysis Brief: Malaysia Last Updated: April 26, 2017 Overview Malaysia is the world’s third-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, the second-largest oil and natural gas producer in Southeast Asia, and strategically located amid important routes for seaborne energy trade. Malaysia’s energy industry is a critical sector of growth for the entire economy and has accounted for nearly 20% of the country’s total gross domestic product in recent years.1 New tax and investment incentives, which started in 2010, promote oil and natural gas exploration and development in the country’s deepwater and marginal fields, energy efficiency measures, and use of alternative energy sources. These fiscal incentives are part of the country’s economic transformation program to leverage its resources and geographic location to become one of Asia’s top energy players by 2020.2 Another key pillar in Malaysia’s energy strategy is to become a regional oil and natural gas storage, trading, and development hub that will attract technical expertise and downstream services that can compete within Asia. Malaysia, located within Southeast Asia, has two distinct parts. The western half contains the Peninsular Malaysia, and the eastern half includes the states of Sarawak and Sabah, which share the island of Borneo with Indonesia and Brunei. The country’s western coast runs along the Strait of Malacca, an important route for the seaborne trade that links the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Malaysia's position in the South China Sea makes it a party to various disputes among neighboring countries over competing claims to the sea's oil and natural gas resources.
