Indeed, the nature of the problems facing us makes it essential that we broaden the scope of scientic inquiry, using interdisciplinary and synergistic approaches to understand and address increasingly complex challenges. No single scholarly discipline possesses the range of analytical tools needed to illuminate the full complexity of phenomena such as global climate, for example. is requires approaches and tools of physics, meteorology, computer sciences, economics, and many other disciplines. Moreover, changes in environmental processes are often driven by larger social and economic phenomena that are themselves undergoing rapid change. Accelerating economic and cultural linkages between nations, as well as social changes within countries, are changing our social and physical landscapes. Security issues, growing vulnerability to natural hazards, access to water and energy resources, health, education and income inequality, the provision of ecosystem services required for human civilization – these are all complex issues that interact and mitigate or amplify each other. We live in a world full of feedback loops. It is essential for the scientic community to better understand these interactions. is will require more fruitful cooperation across national and regional borders, as well as multidisciplinary approaches that integrate the traditional “hard” sciences with the tools and approaches of the social sciences. is is not an easy endeavor. But it is essential if we are to solve the enormous problems facing our planet. PSA and our partners are committed to the goal of enhancing international cooperation and collaboration in order to advance what some call “sustainability science”. e U.S. National Academy of Sciences has described sustainability science as “bring[ing] together scholarship and practice, global and local perspectives from North and South, and disciplines across the natural and social sciences, engineering, and medicine. It can be usefully thought of as "neither ‘‘basic’’ nor ‘‘applied’’ research but as a eld dened by the problems it addresses rather than by the disciplines it employs.” PSA was founded ninety years ago to promote the study of natural, social and cultural phenomena in the Asia-Pacic region. We are very pleased to hold our 22nd Pacic Science Congress in Kuala Lumpur, and hope it will catalyze scholarly collaboration and cooperation, facilitate information exchange, enhance

  • Pulau Sibu Scientific Expedition: Connecting the Land and the Sea for Biodiversity Management of a Marine Park Island
    PULAU SIBU SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION: CONNECTING THE LAND AND THE SEA FOR BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT OF A MARINE PARK ISLAND Jarina Mohd Jani1 et al. 1Institute of Tropical Biodiversity and Sustainable Development, UMT [email protected] The Department of Marine Parks Malaysia (JTLM) and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) have a long history in marine based collaborations. Recently, in recognizing the need for integrated knowledge on both the marine and terrestrial components of our marine park islands in ensuring a holistic understanding of the island ecosystems for its effective management, a new path was paved by the two institutions by agreeing to jointly organize a scientific expedition in Pulau Sibu, Johor. The aim of this expedition was to document the species, ecosystems and livelihoods on the island, with a focus on its coastal and terrestrial zones. Its secondary aim was contribute sufficient content for the publication of a book on Pulau Sibu’s biodiversity. This first “from land to the sea” scientific expedition under JTLM’s banner was successfully organized from 21 to 25 July 2017. The collaboration was a commendable effort that added value to the biodiversity profile of the marine park island via scientific records of the uniqueness and connectivity between species, ecosystems and livelihoods on the island and contributed towards developing a trans-disciplinary research framework in a marine park ecosystem. Keywords: Pulau Sibu, island biodiversity, land to sea research integration, marine park management . INTRODUCTION Even before Wallace made his famous observation in the islands of the Malay Archipelago 150 years ago, islands have already been an interesting study site for biological scientists (Harris 1984).

  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017 What did we spot on the Sarawak and regional heritage scene in the last five months? SARAWAK Land clearing observed early March just uphill from the Bongkissam archaeological site, Santubong, raised alarm in the heritage-sensitive community because of the known archaeological potential of the area (for example, uphill from the shrine, partial excavations undertaken in the 1950s-60s at Bukit Maras revealed items related to the Indian Gupta tradition, tentatively dated 6 to 9th century). The land in question is earmarked for an extension of Santubong village. The bulldozing was later halted for a few days for Sarawak Museum archaeologists to undertake a rapid surface assessment, conclusion of which was that “there was no (…) artefact or any archaeological remains found on the SPK site” (Borneo Post). Greenlight was subsequently given by the Sarawak authorities to get on with the works. There were talks of relocating the shrine and, in the process, it appeared that the Bongkissam site had actually never been gazetted as a heritage site. In an e-statement, the Sarawak Heritage Society mentioned that it remained interrogative and called for due diligences rules in preventive archaeology on development sites for which there are presumptions of historical remains. Dr Charles Leh, Deputy Director of the Sarawak Museum Department mentioned an objective to make the Santubong Archaeological Park a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2020. (our Nov.2016-Feb.2017 Newsletter reported on this latter project “Extension project near Santubong shrine raises concerns” – Borneo Post, 22 March 2017 “Bongkissam shrine will be relocated” – Borneo post, 23 March 2017 “Gazette Bongkissam shrine as historical site” - Borneo Post.

  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS – Aug-Sept-Oct 2016 SARAWAK
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS – Aug-Sept-Oct 2016 SARAWAK The Brooke Gallery, Fort Margherita and the new “Urang Sarawak” exhibition at the Sarawak Museum opened in September, just 4 days apart. Both are valuable additions to the Sarawak history and heritage scene. We reproduce below our web articles of 29 and 31 Oct. 2016 on these exhibits. The Brooke Gallery is a joint effort of the Brooke Heritage Trust, Sarawak’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, and its Museum Department. It “showcases the history of Sarawak under its White Rajahs with a focus on the many community leaders who worked together with (the Brooke) family to build the foundations of the state” writes Jason Brooke, who heads the Brooke Trust. An interesting part of the exhibition illustrates the -not so well known by the younger generations- anti-cession movement that developed when Sarawak was ceded by the Brooke to the British Crown as a colony at the end of WW2 – in a global context where the decolonization movement had already developed across the British Empire. The Gallery’s clean and lean presentation, and Fort Margherita itself, which was built by the Brookes and which benefitted from quality conservation works a few years ago, form now a key heritage landmark. The project has mobilized a group of enthusiastic volunteers, known as the “Fort Rangers”. And colonial style “tea party” was organized by the Friends of Sarawak Museum on the day of the Gallery’s inauguration. Naturally, historical legacies such the century of Brooke rule will always remain subject to discussion, as was recalled by a demonstration, on the day Gallery inauguration by a local group –which made Sarawak’s Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture point out that the gallery did not seek to glorify the Brookes, adding: “History is still history and we cannot erase them from us.

Welcome to Kuching, Sarawak! Take a quick look around Kuching and you will certainly notice a historic building or site, stately and unique, enchanting always; these are just some of the attractive charms of the city. Singularly or clustered, these fascinating cultural and historic icons are found at almost every turn and step you take around the city. Starting from the Brunei Sultanate Empire during the 17th and 18th Century to the White Rajahs for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries, the city's wealth of heritage sites offer an exciting mix of western and eastern influences spread within walking distances of each other. A haven to most, it is also bewilderment in choice of venues to visit for those with premium on time. Amidst the skylines of the City today, you will also find distinctive buildings from the days gone by, from the Brooke Era’s and British Colonial style architectures, archaic Chinese temples and alleyways to surprisingly fresh new looks for centuries old shophouses. This once riverine trading post has since then grown to be a strategic port, administrative town, business centre and capital city. Almost all the modern amenities expected of a city are available here, minus the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Careful planning of the surrounding environment to maintain this leisurely pace is Kuching's gift to residents and visitors alike, a feeling of warmth and comfortable existence that's real and stimulating.
